oQ)oQ)oNO MERCURY
Medicines containing Mercury are often given to persons auffcring with
Contagious DlooJ Poison, and so powerful is the action of this drug that it
frequently removes the symptoms in short while, and. shuts the disease
v.p n the system to do greater damage to the delicate internal members.
When, however, the treatment is left otf, the disease always returns, and the
patient finds that his lua'th has Ucn injured by this powerful mineral, anJ
lie is often left with weak stomach, disturbed digestion, mercurial rheuma
tism, etc. The action of S. S. S. is entirely different. It contains no
Mercury, nor any other harmful drug, but is made entirly of healing,
cleansing roots and herbs. It cures Contagious Blood Poison by removing
the vims frota the blood. It searches out every particle of the poison
and docs not leave the least trace for future outbreaks. S. S. S., in
addition to curing the disease, builds up and strengthens every patt of the
lody. Its fine tonic effects tone up the stomach and digestion, improve the
appetite ai.U regulate the entire system. Home treatment book containing
valuable information about the different stages of the disease and any

ling Wheat Crop.
Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 8. A quiet
preparation for a long siege by the
men and continued reticence n-garding
their intentions locally are the feat
ures of the Canadian Pacific strike this
evening. No men in large numbers
have come into the city from either
Eastern or Western points, although
rumors are rife that a large contingent
is due here tonight. Pickets are
guarding the entrances to shops and
all railroad terminals. A number of
women have been placed at work
cleaning cars. Testing of cars is go
ing on as usual, the work being done
by foremen.
Mass meetings were held tonight
and addresses given in their native
tongue to Hungarians, Germans and
Russians. J. II. McVey was asked
this afternoon if the other organiza
tions connected with railroad work
were likely to go out Boon. He re
plied:
"If they are going out soon I don't
know of it. If they went out without
notice they would be breaking their
ironclad agreements."
The Canadian Pacific . Railway com
pany yesterday promoted all firemen
who had been serving in the local
roundhouse to be wipers. When crops
begin to move there will be larger de
mand for engineers and firemen than
at present. ,
The company s locomotives and roll
ing stock are at present in excellent
condition, the dry summer having
caused little wear. Resides 300 Jap
anese mechanics trained in the rail
road shops of the Pacific Coast states
and in technical ' school. are arriving
and are being distributed where neces
sary. Sleeping and dining cars have
been drawn up close to the shops to
provide accommodations for the non
union workmen, guarded by special
constables.
SANTA FE FINED $7,000.
Found Guilty of Giving Big Rebates
Masked as Bonus.
Chicago, Aug. 8. The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, by its
counsel, pleaded guilty to rebating to
day and was assessed a fine of $7,000
by Judge Rethea in the United States
District court. The government, rep
resented by District Attorney Edwin
W. Sims, proved that a bonus paid by
the railroad to the Garden City Sugar
& Land company, of Garden City,
Kan., was in effect a rebate. The
railroad company, through its indus
trial department, offered the Garden
City concern a bonus of $f0,000 for
locating on its lines. The bonus was
paid as freight was shipiH'd, and a
year ago the land company had paid
$22,000 in freight charges and had re
ceived $11,000 of it back in bonus.
HENEY ON THE RACK.
Questioned About $30,000 Fee From
Water Company.
San Francisco, Aug. 8. Assistant
District Attorney Francis J. Heney
was today placed on the witness stand
in the preliminary examination of Ab
raham Ruef in the police court as an
expert on attorneys' fees and interro
gated by Ruef 'a counsel regarding the
alleged receipt by Heney of a fee of
$30,000 from the Contra Costa Water
company. This was done ostensibly to
offset the theory advanced by the pros
ecution that the receipt of $30,000 by
Ruef from G. II. Umbsen in the Park
side trolley franchise matter was too
large a fee for legal services.
Mrs. Sage Plans Gift.
New York, Aug. 8. It is learned
from friends of Mrs. ilussell Sage that
she is thinking seriously of purchasing
Constitutional irland, in the upper
Hudson, opposite est Point, and pre
senting it to the United States govern
ment as a site on which to erect, the
world's greatest military preparatory
school, a school that will be to West
Point what Eton is to Oxford and
Lawrenceville is to Princeton. She is
very much in earnest about this pro
ject and is investigating the matter
very closely.
New Turkish Cabinet Named.
Constantinople, Aug. 8. The new
Turkish cabinet was named today by
the sultan, acting under the direction
of Kiamil Pasha. There is not a single
reactionary in the new cabinet, which
is composed of men wholly out of sym
pathy with the old regime. This is
considered as a guarantee that the
new constitution will be observed to
the letter, and there is gnat rejoicing
among the members of the Young Tur
key party.
Death Roll in Tabrix 800.
Tabriz. Aug. 8.- There has now been

the finer residences of the city and
