San Francisco, Jone 21.-Aft*,, holding 1,000 at bay for two hours in Eddy street early to-day, shooting nine people and defying the police, Thomas Lobb, a maniac, killed him self. The wounded are : W. S. Kofi man, shot three times ; C. T. Chevalin, shot in eye ; W. Jones, wounds in cheek ; Emil Roberts, a boy, shot in leg ; Quong Do, Chinese, rifle bullet in hand ; George Do laugh ton, nine wounds ; Vioente Remante, shot in cheek and ear; Joseph Larribee, two shots in ohio, one in lip, others in shoulder, face and arm ; Polioeman Patriok Kassau, shot in check while firing from ad joining room. Seven shots passed through bis helmet. The insane man was barricaded ic his room on the fourth floor of the United States hotel, 123 Eddy street. Lobb went to the hotel last night. This morning he began throwing furniture from the windows to the street. Several persons narrowly escaped being struok. Then he be gan firing, using a shotgun.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of <-+?e*<*?/ZY?U Henry Grady on Rum. To-night it enters a humble home to strike the roses from a woman's cheek, and to-morrow it challenges this republic in the halls of Congress. To-day it strikes a crust from the lips of a starving child, and to-mor row levies tribute from tho govern ment itself. There is no cottage humble enough to escape it, no palace strong enough to shut it out. It defies tho law when it cannot coerce snfferage. It is flexible to cajole, but merci less in victory. It is the mortal enemy of peace and order, the despoiler of mon and terror of women, the cloud that shad ows the face of children, tho demon that has dug more graves and sent more souls unshrived to judgment than all the pestilences that have wasted life since God sent the plagues to Egypt, and all the wars since Joshua stood bey >nd Jericho. It comes to mislead human souls and to crush human hearts under its rumbling wheels. ? It comes to bring gray-haired mothers down in shame and sorrow to their graves. It comes to change the wife's love into despair and her pride into shame. It comes to still the laughter on the lips of tho little chrildren. It comes to stifle all tho music of the homo and fill it with silence and desolation. [ Beat Cough In tim?. Bola br drei BECAUSE THEY ARE QUITTERS. Tiwi is th? Reason Why So Many Bright Boys Fall. I Centralia (Mo.) Courier. ] What is the matter with the youths of to-day? They ^re bright \ they are active ; they oan do things ; they know things ; they are abreast of the timos. But only one in ten make a success. Take the boys of Centralia. Line them up before our desk this Satur day night, 100 strong between the ages of 16 to 26. Ab, they are a fine appearing lot of youngsters. Every one of them strong limbed, robust, well dressed, manly looking ! Most of them need an old fashioned hair oat; some of their bands are too soft; here and there a /ile cigarette smell ulinga to a hcisan form; a possible half dozen wear the hang dog look of a sin hardened soul ; dissipation mars the beauty of a few faces-but taken as a whole you will not find 100 bet ter clad, brighter, more promising young men anywhere. We know these boys like a book. There is scarcely one of them but what has had or does have, more than an even chance to win in the battle of life. School?, friends, an opportunity to work, a ohanoe to make a start these are the common legacies of all and yet out of the 100 splendid speci mens of brain and brawn that pass in review before us this Saturday night 90 will go down in the gloom of de feat and only 10 will be crowned with the apple blossoms of success. Why is it that only 1 in 19 suc ceeds? Why, in this dawning hour of the twentieth oentury with ita marvellous privileges and wonderful opportunities, do nine men out of every ten fail? What quantity do they leave out of the equation of life that makes "zero" the answer of the problem ? It is not brains ; it is not energy ; it is not capability ; it is not WP nt of opportunity ; it is not en vironment. What is it then? Force, will power, determination, iron in the blood and sand in the craw ! Ours is a race of white livered quit ters. We won't stick. The old Spartan spirit of heroic determina tion is laoking. We need red blood and grit. Take the boys of this town lined up before us. Call the roll on the question of application and note those who are doing hard, persistent work. Not 1 in 10. These 100 boy, bow we love them all ! How we wish they all would win some merited degree of suooess. They wa".t to dress well, to live well, to have a good time, to smoke, to play pool and cards and make merry while they are young. They are cultivating eostly habits ; they are spending all they get hold of ; they are sowing to the wind. One of these days they will wake up and find the harvest past. How do you know? The same way you may know-open your eyes and look around. The lesion is printed in box car letters every where. Every successful man you see is a man of force ; every failure a man of weak will and faltering pur pose. It is a hard doctrine we preach, but a true one-a dootrine of privation, discipline, firmness, drud gery in youth, but at its end is the golden crown of success. The lads who gratify every whim now and drift with the tide of pleasures in youth will go down before the storm of adversity when life's trials come on. Only tho hardy, resolute, self disoiplined can outlive the storms of life and succeed. A Fearful Explosion. Kkaterinoslav, Southern Russin.

Washington, June 10.-The treasury department to-day put through a check for $583.33 for President Roosevelt.

The President never made an ap plication for the payment of the claim and the long delay in ?oing through is due to the faot that thc matter was vol untarily taken up by officials of the office of the auditor for the War department.

They Married. A young man was piowing in a field ; the day was hot and he had taken off his shoes. He saw a fashionable young lady approaohing and said to himself, "I am not going to try to hide my bare feet ; if she thinks any the less of me because my feet are bare then she is not as sensible as I think her." But the young lady stopped and talked to him inspiringly and never looked at bis feet. Fact is, going barefooted is a very healthy practice, and every human being would be helped by the electric touch of the naked foot on mother earth.-Exohange. Gen. Edward M. Henry, former ? mayor of Norfolk, and once on the staff of the late Gen. John B. Gor don of the Confederacy, died in Norfolk last Tuesday night. For any accidental cut with glass, rust iron, or nail driven into the foot, this receipe is one of the very best. It is claimed that it will pre vent lockjaw, but I know it soothes and eures the wound : Take a raw red beet, and cut it in half ; sorape or mash it into a pulp, and apply it to the wound, and also to the palms of the hands, binding on like a poul tice. It draws the poison out and prevents it from spreading.
