STEAMSHIP ALAMEDA OF OCEANIC
LINE COMES IN AHEAD OF TIME
Dn the Run From Honolulu She Beats Her Own Record and Makes
a Splendid Showing, Both in Going and Returning.
THE SCHOONER ALEXANDER AND THE STEAMSHIP NATIONAL CITY IN HEAVY WEATHER OFF FORT
BRAGG. THE STEAMER HAD TO CAST HER TOW ADRIFT AND THE WINDJAMMER IS NOW CLASSED
AMONG THE OVERDUE*.
THE Oceanic Steamship Company's
Alameda arrived from Honolulu
yesterday, a day ahead of time.
She made the run to the Islands
in five days and twenty hours,
end came home in a little more than five
cays and eighteen hours. There was no
k: tempt at speeding the steamship, and
Chief Engineer Horg-an is confident that
few months she will be the crack
vessel of the fleet.
The Alameda brought up among her
cargo thirty sacks ot silver dollars, val
ued at Oa.UOO. When the shipper was
asked the reason for the consignment he
said there was too much silver in Hawaii
end he was paying his debts in that coin
In order to get rid of some of it. A num
ber of silver shipments are expected on
the next steamer, and in this way the
merchants hope to get a little gold into
circulation in the islands.

THERE IS NO SUCH CONDITION AS
weakness In a man under fifty years of
ag:*. other than general debility. Premature-.
ness, loss of vitality, etc.. are but symptoms
of some damage to the reproductive system,
caused by a contracted disorder or early dis-
sipation. In looking for the location of this
damage we generally find an enlarged, swollen
and inflamed prostate gland. As this gland Is
the very center of the reproductive system it
ran readily be understood that Inflammation of
It must cause disordered function. These cases
are promptly benefited by proper treatment;
otherwise the patient goes from bad to worse.
The essential point in all of them is the neces-
sity of the cure of the focus of the trouble, in
the prostate. Many men have unsuccessfully
treated for a weakness and become discour-
aged, when If an antiphlogistic plan of treat-
ment had been adopted instead of tonics a
cure would have been the result. In our ex-
perience there is no drug In the pharmacopeia
taken into the stomach, that will even benefit
this class of cases. Our plan of treatment Is
«-ntirely a local one and prompt results are ob-
tained, as indicated by increased circulation
end return of natural vigor. Our colored chart,
which we mail on application, is interesting to
cry one wishing to study the anatomy of the

Contracted Biood Disease
Cured by the Injection Treatment.
After ten years' use of this method we have
had no reason to change; on the contrary, our
belief increases daily from reports of patients
treated who have married and suffered no re-
lapse. It offers the following advantages, viz.:
£a%-es time for the physician and patient, as
¦well as labor, office visits being rendered in-
frequent. Besides, little change is necessary
in diet or habits of life, the disease Is readily
concealed and permanent cure Is effected in a
short time, the stomach Is not drugged and the
precise dosage Is obtainable. The expense also
Is greatly reduced

THE ALEXANDER MISSING.
Not Heard From Since Cast Adrift
Off Fort Bragg.
Shipping men and her owner are won
dering what has become of the schooner
AlexiiJider. She left here on November
12 in tow of the steam schooner National
City for Fort Bragg. Up the coast a
very heavy gaie was encountered and the
gteamer had to cast off her tow. This
was on November 14, and the people on
the schooner at once set sail and she
stood out to sea. There was only the
captain and two hands aboard, as the
crew was to be made up at Fort Bragg,
and neither was there an overabundance
of supplies. Since being cast on* by the
steamship nothine has been heard of the
vessel, and if she is still afloat the crew
must be on very short rations.
Alter losing her tow the National City
mace Fort Bragg, and after discharging
loaded for this port and came to San
Francisco, arriving yesterday morning.
The captain s-ays that he lost the Alex
ander curing a heavy gale and had no
means of putting a fresh hawser aboard.
As soon as his vessel is discharged he
will go out to look for the missing vessel.
The Alexander was built in 1877 and
flies the British ring. She was at one
time a steamship, but outlived her use
fulness in that line and was turned into
a "wind Jammer."
La Gironde May Be Saved.
The steamship Ruth arrived from the
south yesterday and brings the news that
the schooner La Gironde may be salved.
Lumber and wrecking machinery was
taken down, and when the Ruth left St.
Nicholas Island the prospects for getting
the schooner off seemed good.
The La Gironde was owned by the E.
K. Wood Lumber Company and was on
her way from San Pedro for San Fran
cisco. In a dense fog she went on to St.
Nicholas Island and the crew deserted
her. "While they were away some men
from San Diego took possession and held
the vessel in spite of a wrecking crew
sent. or. the Samoa to get her off. Then
the La Gironde was sold on the floor of
the Merchants' Exchange to H. P. Squier
for a song and he sent out men on the
Ruth to float her. The people in posses
sion, after consulting an attorney, gave
up everything they had stripped the ves
sel of and also possession. Now the cap
tain of the Ruth reports that with the

Insomnia
Nerve-racked, weary and
heavy-eyed, the head that
seeks repose finds only
ceasless tossing and fever-
ish unrest. Strange fancies
— vague forbodings — fill
the mind with harrowing
thoughts until morning
brings its rasping headache,
irritable temper, and loss of
appetite. Rest the nerves —
build them up — and
gentle, restful, refreshing
sleep will be yours.
"My greatest trouble was sleepless-
ness. I was nervous and restless, and
would toss and roll for hours. Had
no ambition and had to abandon
business. One bottle of Dr. Miles'

Heavy Weather on the Coast.
The steamship John S. Kimball, which
arrived from the Sound Monday night,
had a rough passage. She was caught in
the Columbia River gale and was hove
to for nineteen hours, during which time
the se-as swept her from stem to stern.
Captain Thwing says it was one of the
heaviest blows he ever encountered.
At Grays Harbor the schooners Alcalde
and A. J. West dragged their anchors
and came together. Neither was badly
damaged by the accident, but the West
lost an anchor and forty-five fathoms of
chair, while the Alcalde lost an anchor
and thirty fathoms of chain.
Twelve vessels were bar bound at
Giays Harbor while the storm raged out
side, but yesterday four of them managed
to get cut and make a start for San
Francisco.
Water Front Notes.
Two red pciled bulls for the Hawaiian
Islands are now awaiting shipment in
Morehead's stables on the front. They
came from Ohio on the overland and are
for Paul Isenberg of Honolulu. They will
be shipped on one of the Williams Di
mond & Co. line of vessels.
The brig Galilee arrived from the isl
ands yesterday after a fair run of eight
en and a half days.
The passengers on the Alameda gave a
testimonial to Captain Herriman on the
downward trip of the vessel, thanking
him and his officers for courtesies ex
tended.
The Australia will be due from Tahiti
Thursday morning, but will probably be
a few hours late in reaching port.

LEGAL TANGLE
AIDS OFFENDERS
Supreme Court of Ha
waii Reaffirms Its
Decision.
Question of the Constitution's
Operation Causes
Trouble.
HONOLULU, Nov. 14.— The Hawaiian
Supreme Court has reaffirmed its deci
sion, Galbraith dissenting, that after the
transfer of the sovereignty of these isl
ands to the United States persons could
be lawfully convicted of crime without
the intervention of a Grand Jury, or oy
a verdict of nine jurors. The question
turns on whether the United States con
stitution* applied in Hawaii after the pas
sage of the Newlands resolution.
Since the last Supreme Court decision
on the question. United States Judge Es
tee has rendered a decision the other way,
declaring convictions by majority verdicts
to be void; also convictions without Grand
Jury indictments. Tne Circuit courts con
tinue to hold the same way as Estee, re
fusing to follow the Supreme Court de
cision. As a result retrials are being had
of prisoners held to have been illegally
convicted, while it is admitted that the
Supreme Court will knock out decisions.
Estee and the Circuit courts refuse to
sustain the old trials, so that between
the two the prisoners appear to have a
good chance of escape.
There is much agitation going on for
an extra session of the Legislature. Most
of the Government departments are se
riously handicapped by lack of funds, and
those who want an extra session say that
the lawmakers should be given an op
portunity to pass some revenue producing
measures. Governor Dole is reported to
be firmly against such a session and the
opponents of the idea say that he will not
call a session.
The Circuit Court bailiff act, under
which all the Circuit courts of the isl
ands have been proceeding ever since the
Legislature adjourned last spring, has
been attacked in Judge Humphreys' court
by Attorney A. G. M. Robertson in be
half of a defendant indicted for perjury.
The act authorizes bailiffs of the Circuit
Courts to summon grand and trial jurors.
If it should be declared invalid the en
tire criminal proceedings throughout the
Territory for eight months past will fall
with it, and scores of prisoners will be
set free or will have to be indicted and
tried asrain. The act is attacked on the
ground that it did' not pass each house
of the Legislature three times, as re
quired by law, and also on other technical
grounds.
COLONEL OF MARINES
BEFORE COURT-MARTTAL
Witnesses Tell of Alleged In'.oxica
tion of an Officer at Brooklyn

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.— Colonel Robert
L. Meade, commanding officer of the ma

July 18 of this year, while on a tour of
inspection of the marine barracks he, in
company with William A. Boring, had
come in contact with Colonel Meade. who,
he said, was inebriated to the extent of
drunkenness, and that he was incapable
of performing his duties as an officer.
Boring testified that Colonel Meade act
ed in a very erratic manner, and while
talking on business appertaining to pro
posed improvements Colonel Meade had
acted in a very strangp way. which the
witness described as having been caused
by intoxication.

Thousands of Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Suspect It
To Prove What the Great Kidney Remedy SWAMP-ROOT Will Do for YOU,
Every Reader of THE CALL May Have a Sample Bottle FREE.
TO READERS OF THE CALL:
"About 18 months ago I had a very severe spell of sickness. I was extremely sick
for three weeks, and when I finally was able to leave my bed I was left with excruciating
pains in my back. -My .water at times looked very like coffee. I could pass but little at
a time, and then only after suffering great pain. My physical condition was such that I
had no strength and was all run down. The doctors said my kidneys were not affected,
and while I . •. ; . "> -
. Did Not Know I Had Kidney Trouble,
•I ' somehow felt certain that my kidneys were the cause of my trouble. My sister, Mr*.
C. E. Littlefleld of Lynn, advised me to give Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root a trial. I pro-
cured a bottle ¦ and inside of three days commenced to get relief. I followed up that bottle
with another, and at the completion of this one found I was completely cured. My strength
.returned and to-day . I am as well as ever. My business is that of canvasser. I am on my
feet a great deal of the time, and have to use much energy in getting around. My cure
is therefore all the more remarkable, and Is exceedingly gratifying to me."
• , 117 High Rock St.. Lynn. Mass. -^M--^-^^?^^'^'
Swamp-Root So Pleasant to Take.
"You have no idea how well I feel. I am
satisfied that I do not need any more medicine,
as I am In as good health as I ever was in
my life." So says Mrs. Mary Engelhard of
2835 Madleon street, St. Louis, Mo., to a re-
porter of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
"For more than ten years I suffered with
what the doctors termed female trouble; also
heart trouble, with swelling of the feet and
limbs. Last summer I felt so badly that I
thought I had not long to live. I consulted
doctor after doctor and took their medicines,
but felt no better. A friend recommended me
to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and I must
say I derived immense benefit almost from the
first week. I continued the medicine, taking
it regularly, and I am now in splendid health.
The pains and sches have all gone. I hava
recommended Swamp-Root to all my friends,
and told them what it has done for me. I
will gladly ansv.-er any one who desires to write
me regarding my case. I most heartily indorse
Swamp-Root from every standpoint. There is
such a pleasant taste to Swamp-Root, and it
goes right to the weak .spots and drives them
out of the system."

The Time Ball on the tower of the Ferry
We show here one of the most unique and useful articles on earth.
It is a Hat Rack made from a Mississippi Rifle and makes a most
durable ornament for hall or bedroom. Its four hooks will hold a great
deal, and, besides, it is something that is not seen often. A relic of Civil
War times; only, instead of keeping the gun ready for use in a rack on
the wall, you keep it for use as a rack. It's a limited and tempting offc
at $3.00 and makes a fine Christmas present.
THIS *18 XAYNART> CARBINE which we «>oke of In our last ad. Is
the blggejt bargain we have. The lightest and best cartrldgs gun used by the sol-
diers In the Civil War. It 1* still a very useful thing to own. For Hunting Sport-
ing, Target Shooting or Defense it Is unsurpassed by the most modern rifle \Ve
give 20 cartridges FREE with this gun, and we're celling hundred* daily for

DR. XrLMEH'S SWAMP-BOOT.
Made a New Woman of Me.
"During three years I was frequently at-
tacked with severe spells of sickness; many of
these sick spells kept me in bed, dangerously
ill, from three weeks to three months, under
the constant care of the best physicians of
Kansas rity. The doctors never told me I
had anything the matter of my kidneys, but
I did not know for sure.
"Some doctors pronounced my case gall
stones, and said I could not live without a sur-
gical operation, to which I would never con-
sent. A friend suggested I try Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. I began to take Swamp-Roct
regularly, and when I had used only three sC-
cent bottles I felt fine and was able to do more
work than I had done in four years. It has
made a new woman of me. I have had only
one slight attack since I began to take Swamp-
Root, and that was caused by being drenched
with rain and catching cold. Stomach trouble
had bothered me for years and had become
chronic. I am now 44 years of age and feel
much younger than I did ten years ago. I
frec-ly give this testimonial for the benefit of
those who have suffered as I have."

Women as Well as Men Are Made
Miserable by Kidney aod
Bladder Troubles.
It used to be considered that only uri-
nary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys, but now modern
science proves that nearly all disease*
have their beginning In the disorder of
these most important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood-
that is their work. So when your kidneys
are weak or out of order you can under-
stand how quickly your entire body is af-
fected, and how every organ seems to fail
to do its duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly." begin
taking the famous new discovery. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as
your kidneys are well they will help all
the other organs to health. A trial will
convince any one.
Many women suffer untold misery became
the nature of their disease >> not correctly
understood; in most cass they are Ud to
bi/ieve that womb trouble cr female weakness
of some sort is responsible for their many
ills, when in fact disordered kidneys are the
chief cause of their distressing troubles.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma-
tism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the
back, weakness or bearing down sensa-
tion, profuse or scanty supply of urine,
with strong odor, frequent desire to pass
it night or day, with scalding or burning
sensation— these are all unmistakable
signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
If there is any doubt in your mind as
to your condition, take from your urine
on rising about four ounces, place it in
a Rlass or bottle and let it stand twenty-
four hours. If on examination it is milky
or cloudy, if there Is a brick dust settling,
or if tmall particles float about in it, your
kidneys are in need of immediate atten-
tion.
Other symptoms showing that you need
Swamp-Root are sleeplessness, dizziness,
irregular heart, breathlessness, sallow,
unhealthy complexion, plenty of ambi-
tion, but no strength.
Swamp-Root Is pleasant to take and Is
used in the leading hospitals, recom-
mended by physicians in their private
practice, and is taken by doctors them-
selves, because they recognize in it the
greatest and most successful remedy that
science has ever been able to compound.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you need, you can
purchase the regular fifty-cent and one-
dollar bottles at the drug stores every-
where.
