JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge says : "I -wish to deal fairly and
honorably 'with all, and when I find an
article that will do what it is recom
mended to do, I am not ashamed to say
so. I am acquainted with Dr. Vander
pool (having been treated by him for
cancer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the 8. B. Headache and
'Liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old,
sad have used many pills and other
remedies for the blood, liver and kid
aeys, I must say that for a kidney tonic
Brighta disease, and as an alterative
for the blood, or to correct the action of
i'ae stomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and beats anything I
eier tried. J. B. Nelson,

New York, Oct. 14. Policeman
Georg Jones, 29 years old, of the East
Twenty-second street station, shot and
mortally wounded himself in the abdo
men last evening while 'visiting at tbe
home-of hia uncle, Nathan Jones, in
Williamsburg. The ' attempted suicide
was evidently -Je iresult of a sad be
reavemeat which tbe policeman recently
suffered in the death of his sweetheart
Miss Mary Burns, daughter of a wealthy
widow. Policeman Jones' - parents and
two sisters reside in San Francisco,
Jones bad an exceptional record and
had twice received honorable mention
from the--commissioners.- To- him is
credited the breaking up of the notorious
"stable gang." He shot and killed their
leader, '.'Rats" Geoghegan, on January
2nd, 1891, after Geoghegan had fired five
shots at him. Although the other mem
bers of the gang . threatened vengeance,
he kept arresting and interfering with
their proceedings until they give up the
struggle and disbanded. He did excel
lent work as a detective, arresting "Dan"
Kennedy for tbe murder of John Keat
ing about nine months ago, and captur
ing Charles Keiser for the murder of H.
Wolf, May 80th-of thi year. The evi
dence that he produced sent them 'both
to prison for long terms.

Watt to Come to the Coast.
Minneapolis, Oct. 14. This morning
when the Congregational council was re
lieved of the soberer parts of its work by
allowing the advocates of the different
cities who wanted the next meeting a
chance to speak in favor of. their respect
ive cities, wave after wave of laughter
and applause rolled upward from the
auditorium at the humorous speeches
made. The matter came up on the re
port of the committee on place and time
of the next meeting, which was in favor
of the Pacific Ooaet, either San Francisco
orTacoma. Dr. Brown,' of San. Fran
cisco, took occasion to say that San
Francisco had long waited for. the hold
ing of this or some other body of the
church and hoped now the council would
decide on his city. Dr. Hallock, of
Tacoma, made a speech in favor of this
city, which he said would give $10,000 to
entertain the council. It was voted by
a large majority to meet on tbe Pacific
Coast at a point to be decided upon by
the provisional committee. After further
consideration, committee work occupied
the rest of the session. -

Cheyenne, Oct. 14. For two days the '
severest storm ever known on the Union
Pacific has been raging here" and as far
west as Ogden. Telegraphic communi
cation is cut off in all directions.' This
dispatch goes through a temporary wire.
All the railroads are blocked with snow
in cuts eighteen feet deep in some places.
Snow plows have been hard at work be
tween Granite and Laramie, with the
mow five feet deep on a level. Half a
dozen east-bound trains tied up here last
night, and thirty caocb loads of people ,
from the West pulled in, with more to
follow. The Cheyenne Northern is en
tirely blocked and no one knows where , -r
the belated trains on it are. Reports
are being received of an immense loss of
cattle and horses in northern Colorado
and Wyoming. It is estimated almost
one-third of all the animals on the '
ranges are destroyed by the storm. An
unknown man perished in the storm
near Greeley yesterday. '
Devastated by Prairie Flrea.
Winnipeg, Oct. 14. The western half
of Alberta, a ranching district of the
Northwest, has been devastated by
prairie fires.- Thousands of tons of hay
and many buildings ari burned.' It is
feared many cattle perishad. The flames
advanced so rapidly the ranchmen were -compelled
to aaount horaea and flee for .
their lives. Unless they can 'find' new
range they scarcely will be able- to tide
their stock over this winter, and tbe
consequent loss will be enormous. '
Fatal Train Wreck.

freight trains on the New London '&
Northera road collided near new London

William Gillen, of Boston Spripgs, N.

riding with a carload of horses on their
way to the fair at Poquonndck, Conn.;
were killed, together with three horses.
Dynamite Foaad Ktn Fresno.
. Fbesno, Cal., Oct. 14. Officers have
made an effort to conceal from the pub- -lie
the fact that enough dynamite has
been discovered just outside the city
limits to blow up half the city of Fresno.
The dynamite was discovered in a de
serted slaughter-house on the eastern .
edge of the city by two small boys. The
dynamite consisted of-, thirty cartridges
eight inches long; fourteon of them were
primed and had fuses attached. There
were 150 feet of use, ten pounds of buck
s'tot, gun-wads and other articles. All
were wrapped in a blanket. In a sepa- ;
rate package, wrapped in chainois skin,
was a large quantity of pulverized nitro
glycerine, enough to blow up fortifica
tions.. Detective Will Smith has been
here investigating the matter. He is
satisfied the dynamite was meant to
blow up the jail here and liberate George ;
Sontag. .There is enough of it to blow
the jail to atoms. - A guard is kept in
the jail night and day, and the closest
watch is kept. . Persons have called to
see Sontag of late, but they are watched
closely, so that they can pass nothing
through the bars to him. The kit of
saws found some time ago in the jail
makes the officers watchful. Altogether,
there is a very uneasy feeling here at
present. '
