AWAITING ORDERS NATIONAL GUARDSMEN ON TIPTOE OF EXPECTANCY MAY BE MUSTERED IN THE ORDER LOOKED FOR WITHIN A FEW HOURS THEIR SERVICES ACCEPTED An Important Dispatch Received at Headquarters Last Night--The Philippines or muster rolls for this state have already been received by Captain Carrington, the United States mustering officer, and he alone, apparently, can tell when the troops from this section will be called out. Doubtless he himself is awaiting definite instructions from Washington before he releases them to brigade commanders.

In San Francisco men are being mustered In, though where they will be sent to has not yet been decided. It is probable that there Is some latent government reason for withholding the rolls from this division. The National guard boys of the city are jubilant now, for information fromat Washington has been to them they believe to be decisive, and they expect to be called upon and mustered in within a two. In their exuberance of enthusiasm they feel themselves already in camp or on a battlefield. Last night while Company A was drillIng Colonel Berry made his appearance and interrupted the practice of the troops long enough to read them a dispatch that had been reecived at headquarters here from the secretary of war.

It was to the effect that the department had accepted the services of the First and Seventh regiments of the National guard of this state, which had been tendered some time ago. They will be mustered in "as soon as possible." as the telegram somewhat Indefinitely stated, and they should be examined by the brigade surgeon immediately. The two regiments were instructed to be in readiness for an instant call. This is considered to be in the nature of a preliminary notice and further for the purpose of keeping the boys in good spirits and hopes, and to temporarily appease their anxiety. It had a wider effect than that, however, for they are now waiting patiently for the real call that they have been assured of for the past two weeks.

There was the wildest cheering and enthusiasm when Colonel Berry finished reading the pleasurable news. The boys shook hands with one another and much excitement prevailed for several minutes. All but two of the young men declared themselves ready for immediate service, and those who said they could not go are men of family with many depending upon them for support. Orders were given for Companies and which form the local guard, to appear at the armory every night until further orders and be prepared to drill. Never before have they so willingly acquiesced to orders.

Around the armory it is thought that the men will leave for San Francisco, the probable state rendezvous, tomorrow night or some time during Friday. What they are looking for now are the muster rolls, for without them they can do nothing, and as yet they are still mere civilians. In the Seventh regiment there are twelve companies, or 1236 men, not including Col Berry. Companies and are of this city, and the others are located as follows: San Diego, R. V.

Dodge captain; D. Pomona, W. S. Winters captain; Santa Paula, C. W.

Metcalf captain; Redlands, E. J. Underwood captain; Ventura, Albert W. Browne captain; Pasadena, N. S.

Bangham captain; San Bernardino, T. H. Goff captain; Santa Ana, S. H. Finley captain; Riverside, J.

A. Eason captain. None of the National guardsmen seem to think that they will remain in this state after being mustered in. They do not advance any particular argument in behalf of their beliefs, but say that circumstances recently developed force that conclusion. Since Commodore Dewey's little affair at Manila the majority seem to think that the Philippine islands is the country they should and will be sent to, as they are already on the Pacific coast, within easy distance of San Francisco, and that by sending them to any land in the Pacific ocean the government would save money.

Others, again, hope it will be Cuba, and do not think that the distance makes any material difference with the war department. Most of the boys say if the matter were left to their choosing they would select Cuba, for there, they think, they can get the kind of fighting they are looking for. The brigade officers were closeted in their private office at the armory last night until midnight awaiting news from Sacramento or Washington. The muster rolls are what they expected, but, so far as known, they did not arrive. There was an effort at absolute secrecy among the staff.

Captain Carrington, the muster officer, is expected in the city today or tomorrow, and then, perhaps, there will be interesting news. As yet everything is more or less problematical. REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS Volunteer Cavalry Elects Officers and a Main Office The First regiment, California Volunteer cavalry, held an informal meeting in room 146 at the Nadeau last night, which place will be made future regimental headquarters. While the meeting was given out as being informal, and was so in a way, several officers were elected. Johnstone Jones, commander of the regiment, was there with his staff, and other officers.

The room was well filled with the sentatives various companies, who were there primarlly to become acquainted with each other, and to learn what is to be done in concerted action. Dr. R. D. Hill was elected first surgeon, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and Dr.

R. Hogan and Dr. H. B. B.

Montgomery were chosen with the rank of first majors. Rev. J. D. Thornton of Norwalk Was elected chaplain, and A.

C. Roscoe adjutant. Among the fleld officers present were: Lieutenant Colonel H. W. Patton, Majors L.

E. Mosher, L. M. Starin, J. D.

Thompson, and Sergeant Major George A. Johnston. Among the captains present were: W. B. Cassill, Troop W.

M. Hole, Troop Charles B. Swain, Troop Walter Jamison, Troop H. J. Toberman, Troop M.

G. Aguirre, Troop Theodore Friese, Troop Dick Falkenberg, Troop Troop J. C. Farnsworth, and Lieutenant Falkner, Troop M. It was intimated by one of the officers that in all probability application would be made to take the regiment into the national guard when the boys are called out.

In taking the places of those who leave they would likely be called upon in the event that more volunteers were wanted. No definite determination was reached in the matter. ORGANIZATION OF NURSES A Class of Thirty Ladies Recruited by Mrs. Griffith The class of thirty ladies organized by Mrs. J.

M. Griffith for the purpose of studying army nursing and work has met with the hearty indorsement of the leading physicians of the city. Some of them have volunteered to give these ladies free lessons in bandaging wounds and also coach them on physiological matters. Dr. Barber of the county hospital has generously proffered the use of the operating room for the actual practice of the class, where not only imaginary wounds are bandaged, but real cases are attended.

Dr. Kurtz gave a most instructive talk on Saturday last, vividly portraying in words the life and duties of an army nurse. Mr. Johnson of the Westminster hotel has given the use of the Blue parlor for the business meetings of the organization. Monday evening last the following officers were elected: Mrs.

M. Griffith, president; F. M. Whelpley, vice president; Miss Lillian Whelpley, secretary; Miss Christina Kurtz, treasurer. Committees for purchasing necessary supplies for the use of the class and also for entertainments for raising funds were appointed.

Captain Steere's Battery Around Captain Steere's recruiting office on West Fifth street everything is expectancy, and big crowds of men are there throughout the day. He has more than 250 men on his lists now, and enlisting has about ceased. The men are being examined, but that work is not yet completed. Few have been rejected, as they are all of them strong, husky fellows, and it will prove difficult to decide which fifty men to let out. They are now expecting to move almost any day, and they are waiting around the office anxiously.

The following is Captain Steere's latest order, issued yesterday evening: Batterymen will hold themselves in readiness to move at an instant's notice, and will report twice daily at this office. Men residing out of this city will report at the telegraph office of the railroad depot in their respective towns twice daily. Men who were unable to take their preliminary physical examination this date will report at this office at 6:30 p. m. Wednesday, May 4th.

HENRY STEERE, Captain Recruiting Heavy Battery. This battery, it will be remembered, was organized at the Instigation of Governor Budd, who wanted one of the four heavy batteries to be sent from this state supplied by this section. The battery is to be composed of men, who will go with the Seventh regiment when it is called out. Company Meets Company of the Southern California Volunteer cavalry, elected officers last night, the meeting being held in the recruiting office of the Silver Republican club's building. The following men were elected: G.

G. Symms, captain; Dr. L. Semler, First lieutenant; A. MacKenzle, second lieutenant.

After the meeting several of the members went in a tally-ho to a road house to investigate the ground about It for a military camp, the boys expecting soon to have that pleasure, they are working now to be selected for a home guard. Enlistment Rolls Closed The recruiting office at the Silver Republican club's building has been closed, and the books and papers and documentary pleted a regiment twelve companies evidence laid They have comwith about sixty men in each company, and they believe that is sufficient. There have been some lively scenes around this place the past few days, dozens of men in line to enlist, and clerks and officers bustling about everywhere. The drilling of men in the lot adjoining will go on as usual every evening. WILL NOT BE CHANGED The Children's Battleship Will Sail as the "American Boy" The protest of The Herald, the school Los Angeles, Prof.

Foshay and sirls, of, the teachers will not avail in influencing a change in the name of the proposed battleship, The American Boy. Prof. Foshay wrote to William Rankin Good, the 17-year-old boy of Cincinnati who originated the idea, asking that a change be made to Young America. Master Good replies as follows: "The name American Boy was chosen as the most fitting because the boys now will be the future men of our nation, and, as men are considered the defenders of a country, why not let our representative be suggestive of those defenders? The girls are to be represented in the furnishing of our vessel. This was my plan from the beginning, I hope the press of Los Angeles will explain it to your public." While protesting against the injustice, the girls are contributing unselfishly, some of them making real sacrifices for the cause, and it is quite questionable that, when the money is all in, whether the amount given by them will not exceed that of the future defenders of the country.

The money will be forwarded from the Cincinnati Merchants' National bank, in sums of $50,000, to the United States treasury. A sketch of the certificates to be given to contributors to The American Boy fund was sent from the superintendent's office to the yesterday. A handsome flag and of the Maine will adorn printers, the certificate. The amount of individual contributions will not be mentioned, but the certificates of the pupils who contributed $1 and 1 penny will be the same. Politics or Water? Mayor Snyder is in San Francisco on matters relative, it is said, to a bond issue to pay for the water company's plant.

The question has been raised as to the validity of bonds that might be issued by the city, the law being obscure on the point as to bonds issued for the purchase of public utilities. Another report has it that the mayor hopes to secure an early announcement of the overdue decision of the judges in the important Pomeroy-Hooker case against the city, involving title to the water headworks. Optical work; accurate fitting. J. W.

Fuller, 315 North Main street, AT THE THEATER LOS ANGELES. Jansen was the bright particular star that drew a moderately well-filled house last night, an audience that was highly appreciative of all that the magnetic little lady did, and that applauded her songs, admired her costumes and generally seemed to be pleased with the spirit and grace that she imparted to a character that might have been made even more prominent without fear of tiring the patience of the listeners. Marie Jansen retains those attractions that have made her so distinguished among the comediennes of the day, and she sings with a natural, unaffected method and a sweet voice. The only regret that the theatergoer will feel must necessarily be to find so bright a performer surrounded, for the most part, by people who are not in her class professionally, and appearing in a piece that has such slim claims to praise and so limited a power to evoke the ordinary st signs of approbation. The play is called "'The Nancy Hanks;" its plot is indescribable, and it is worked out a good deal in the fashion that an impromptu parlor charade might be expected to result in the hands of people who had seen a little and remembered a little less of the popular farces of the past ten years.

With this distinction, that It is quite inoffensive, not one of the characters gets inebriated. Instead of champagne, beer is produced, but nobody makes an attempt at drinking it. And as for costumes, they are of the properest kind. Miss Jansen does make one entrance in a masculine suit of white flannel coat and trousers to match, in which she looks. very charming, but those alluring creatures in tights that are to be seen conspicuously displayed on the billboards are not in this instance to be seen in the theater.

There is not even a soubrette in short skirts. The most sensitive person might sit through the performance without being in the least degree disturbed on the Score of propriety, and, while the mental effort in following the action will not be found exhausting, there is evidently sufficent in the piece to furnish a fair quota of amusement, outside of Marie Jansen and songs. There is Jessie Bradbury, who sings "Syncopated Sandy," "On the Wabash" and such ballads, with one of those orotund voices that are sometimes called the "female barytone." She manages it very nicely so far as the singing goes, but is not SO successful with her dance. She also carries her chest tones into dialogue portion of her part, which, fortunately for the listeners, is not very long. Miss Elice Bertram did well in her double role, and ought to do better yet when she gets more of a chance.

As for the men in the play, there is no necessity to say more than that they might show to better advantage in a cleverer piece. "The Nancy Hanks" will be repeated tonight. MAIL BURNED Two Attempts to Destroy the Postoffice at Chino Postoffice Inspector Flint has been investigating a series of fires at the Chino postoffice of a most serious nature. The first occurred early last week, when the office was discovered to be on fire, and after hard work the flames were quenched in time to prevent any serious damage. A night or two afterwards the same thing' occurred, and before the fire could be extinguished a large portion of the mail was consumed and the office badly damaged.

If it had not been for the accidental presence near the place of a citizen, the entire office would have been destroyed. The investigation showed the Incendiary had adopted a skillful method his work. He had stood in front of the office, where the drop box for letters is 1o- cated, and after filling this with paper had dropped lighted matches into the receptacle and then fled, leaving the combination to do its work. Mr. Flint thinks that he knows who the offender is, and there is a probability that an arrest will soon follow.

The act 1s thought to have been Inspired by personal feeling against the postmaster, as there was nothing for any one to gain by burning the bullding, except gratification of a petty spite. This office is very unfortunate; about a year ago it was attacked by robbers and looted of all the valuables. the authorities have decided to stop this lawlessness, and will act sternly. Society of Pioneers The Society of Pioneers of Log Angeles county met in regular session last evening in Caledonia hall. C.

N. Wilson acted as chairman in the absence of the president. The following new members elected: Herman Raphael, who came to Los Angeles in B. White, Pomona, 1868, California 1849; Joseph E. McComas, Pomona, 1872; John Louis Slaughter, 1861, to the state 1856.

After the transaction of routine business several humorous reminiscences were given by members who were in 1861 and joined military companies to "clean out the United States troops or the rebels, according to their sentiments. Miss McGaughey recited Joseph Rodman Drake's "American Flag," followed by Deserter' and "The Bachelor's Dream." J. G. Gillette, on behalf of the committee on entertainment, tendered the thanks of the meeting to Miss McGaughey her entertaining readings. After remarks by Messrs.

Gillette, Barrows and Guinn, on the importance of the pioneers putting their reminiscences on paper for preservation, the society adjourned to meet next month. Marshal Gard Not Dead Think of the sensation of having to deny the report of one's own death by bringing one's person as proof. That is what has fallen to the already sensational and active life of George Gard, ex-United States marshal. An evening sheet, in its issue of Monday noon last, stated that Mr. Gard was dying, and then, presumably supposing that he would never more read a paper anyway, they printed some of his deeds of years ago, all of which was in the nature of a post-obituary notice.

But some one seems to have called their attention to the fact that the news was of a questionable kind, and they suppressed it for the next Issue. Yesterday that paper printed what was a partial apology, but blamed the World, from which they had taken the alleged information without acknowledgment, as the authors of it. Mr. Gard called at The Herald yesterday to the story and to present himself as evidence of its untruth. He claims not to have been sick recently, and at any time of late very far from dying, all of which he bore out by his appearance.

RESISTING AN ATTACK What It Means to Fight the Enemy Nowadays MODERN SCIENTIFIC METHODS If we are involved in a war with Spain or a foreign nation in immediate future, the best authorities belleve that the battles will be fought at longe range whether on sea or land. Boarding the enemie's ships and the old Nelson business of muzzle-to-muzzle is done away with. The modern science of war is altogether different from the old-fashioned methods. Hand-tohand encounters with the cutlass or the bayonet was the old way.

Now the guns and mortars of our batteries on land and sea will destroy an enemy two miles or seven miles distant. A parallel to these modern methods in the science of war is modern methods of medical science. In the good old days the doctor used a lancet on a man at the least provocation--bloodletting was the order of a person's blood was disordered, or when it was desired to fortify him against the attack of any fever or disease. A fortification against the sudden attack of all After your 'Discovery' had cured me 80 quickly I wrote my wife to bring him back from the country, she having carried him there to see if the change would do him good. We were living in Savannah, at the time.

She brought him back and after giving him your 'Golden Medical Discovery' five days he was entirely well. "I keep the Discovery' all the time and would not be without it for anything. truly thankful I have found a remedy that I can depend upon. I have been the cause of about two dozen people using it, since I learned its value. Am certainly grateful to you for having discovered such a wonderful medicine." "I will forever thank you for the advice you gave me to take Dr.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Mrs. James Murphy of Fonda, Pocahontas Iowa. "It has cured me of scrofula of twenty years' standing. doctored chronic, for the trouble until I was completely discouraged. I a also had chronic diarrhea for twelve years.

I am in good health now, betten than I ever was in my life, owing to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. "I return thanks and it is with pleasure I send you my name to publish if you wish to do so." "I am using a good many of your medicines in my practice," writes Dr. Joseph Fike of Lost Springs, Marion Kans. "Ten years ago there was an emigration from Rusland to this country, and there was a lady in the outfit who was badly afflicted with that dreadful disease scro- fula.

Other doctors had been called carrying germs is health, and this should and they said it was be obtained at any price. What is the mod- a fatal case. I was ern scientific method? Health today means a pure and rich blood for the system and an active liver to guard the weak spots. If there be a scrofulous condition of the system, Catarrh or Bronchitis, the germs are sure to attack these weak spots.

Once the enemy have a foothold breach, they destroy the port they "have taken. The germs thrive and increase in strength and number and at the same time make inroads in the neighboring parts constantly ground forth, individual; it is fight or die increasing their domain. This is the battle for him! where Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery comes to the rescue just In the nick of time. It purifles the blood of all the poisonous waste materials with which it is often burdened, it builds up the strength of the body and puts on wholesome flesh.

The bodily weight is thus increased permanently. In the beginning consumption is not such a serious matter-it may be stopped. Dr. Piece's Golden Medical Discovery comes to strengthen and assist the resisting forces when help is needed. The odds are in favor of the germs if our liver is inactive and our blood impure, or if our health 1s reduced below the normal standard.

What is required is an increase of our germ-fighting strength. To resist the attacks of the germs of consumption, grip, malarial fever, the dread typhus fever of Cuba, and many other diseases of germ origin, the body must put on healthy flesh, the liver must be incited to vigorous action and the blood purifled so that there will not be a weak part within the lines of the body, and this can be accomplished by use of this "Discovery" of Dr. Pierce. A great many cases of wasting disease which have been cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery have been diagnosed by doctors as cases of consumption when they were really severe cases of poisoning and mal-nutrition accompanied, by a hacking cough.

If you more about all the ordinary cure, besides chapters on Physiology, Hydiseases, their common-sense methods, of glene, Anatomy, the Origin of Life, and those on Nursing, 8 subject on which everyone should be informed, will be found fully treated of in Dr. Plerce's thousandpage book, The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, which can be obtained free, as stated at the end of this article. The grand reputation which Dr. Pierce has built up in the past thirty regularly qualified practicing physician, Inspires such universal confidence as few enjoy. As chief consulting physician to the Invalid's Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N.

he has had probably a wider and more practical experience in treating severe chronic diseases than any other physician in America. His prescriptions are standard remedies all the world. His "Favorite Prescription" for women is the only proprietary remedy for its purpose, expressly prescribed by an educated physician. Any one may consult Dr. Pierce by mail, and will receive sound, careful, professional advice without charge.

"I beg to state that I have used three bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery since my correspondence with you and find great improvement in my writes Mr. A. F. Novotny of New York, N.

P. O. Box 1437. "I feel that I am in need of no more medical assistance. When I started to take your medicine I had a regular consumptive cough, of which I was afraid, and everybody cautioned and warned me concerning it.

I was losing weight rapidly, was very pale and had no appetite whatever. Now my condition 1s changed entirely. I do not cough at all, have gained eight pounds in weight, have gained my healthy color, and my appetite is enormous. In conclusion I beg to state that I can and will recommend your medicine to everybody may be in need of same, as it is a sure cure, and is by far the superior of all similar medicines. "I have recently obtained a copy of your 'Common Sense Medical Adviser' and I prize it highly.

I think everybody should have one, whether of sound health or not."

It has been ten months since he stopped taking your medicine, and he 1s still in good health. We are very thankful to you for saving our son for us." "Your medicine is the best I have ever taken," writes Mrs. Jennie Dingman, of Vanburen, Kalkaska County, Mich. "I WAS not able to do hardly any work at all; had pain in my left side and back, and had headache all the time. I tried your medicine and it helped me.

He wanted me to get a doctor, but I told him if it was consumption they could not help me.

Was not able to do any work and could scarcely get around even in the house. I had given up all hope of ever being well again, but was advised by several who had used your medicines to try them. I did so and now as far as my disease is concerned am as well as I ever was. I give Dr. Pierce's medicines all the credit -all the praise for the benefit of my health, and many thanks for your trouble and advice.
