NEW ATTACK 0NSUNDAY LAW ot Intended ta Apply to Store Keep era Fraalc Ransom Main tains. A new attack on the Sunday closing law has been atarted by frank T. Kansom In an application for a writ of habeas corpus In Ihe case of William Rhyn, who waa fined December 21, by Judge Crawford for selling cigars and newspapers at 710 North Hlxteenth street on Sunday, December 15. In general Mr. Ransom will contend It was not the Intent of the legislature to close stores on Sunday when It enacted the pres ent closing law and that the law does not ipply to those who work In stores. Judge Troup allowed the writ of habeas corpus and the cose will come up for hear ing Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Judge Troup who haa already held the law good, will hear this case, but some new points have been raised. He refused to pass on the fane without argument as Mr. Ran son suggested he could, but Insisted on hearing a discussion of the points not here tofore raised. Mr. Ransom In aupport of his main point Indicates' that before the passage of tho' present law In 173 there waa a law On the statute hooka specifically prohibiting the keeping open of stores on Sunday. The loglxlature repealed that law when It passed the present one and he holds this Is an Indication the legislature did not In tend that the law should apply to stores. He mill also attack the law on the ground the mear.ing of the term "common labor" It so uncertain the law la bad for Indefl-nltenesa. NO MORE NAMES TO BE TAKEN Monday lolatlon I'aaaed 1p 1 mil Disposition br Court of Teat Caaea.

As the law became effective too late to enable the assessor to operate under It last year, Mr. Shrlver will have to adopt new plans and forms to conform to the law. Ho has Interviewed a number of persons Interested In the Ufw, hut none of them had very definite Ideas about tho technical work of assessing the property of the roads. During the two months allowed for the assessment It will be necessary to place a value upon all the property of the railroads In the county. The land In the right-of-way, the Improvements on tho right-of-way, the land out of the right-of-way and the Improvements upon It will have to be listed and valued separately. The size of buildings and platforms, their cost, ago and present value will have to be set forth. All the bridges In the county will have to be listed together, with their ages, length, material and value', and the same Informa tion will have to bn furnished In regard to water and fuel stations.

In the ktom&ch and digestive and nutritive tracts are performed pro cesses which are almost exactly like the churning of butter. Is It not apparent then that If this stomach-churn is foul It makes foul all which is put Into It? The evil of a foul stomach Is not alone the bad taste In the mouth and the foul breath caused by it, hut the corruption of the pure current of blood and the dissem ination of disease throughout the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes the sour and foul stomach sweet. It does for the stomach what the washing and $un bath do for the churn absolutely removes every tainting or corrupting ele ment. In this way it euros blotches, pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings, (ores, or open eating ulcers and all humors or diseases arising from bad blood. If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath, are weak and easily tlrtd, feel depressed and despondent, have frequent headaches, dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom- ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour or bitter risings after eating and poor appetite, these symptoms, or any consider able number of them.

Mr. Shrlver probHbly will adopt a new policy In relation to the nssessment of prop erty used for sc hool, church and charity purposes. Heretofore this property has not been valued by tho assessors because It Is exempt from taxation. As a result no fig ures are obtainable giving accurately the value of the property In this county. One object In ordering his deputies to assess all property will be to secure accurate statistics in regard to property not as sessed. Another purpose Is to require schools, churches and charitable organisa tions to appear before the County Board of Equalization and show cause why their property should not be assessed. It Is believed that considerable . property held by such organizations escapes taxation, though It Is not factually used for pur poses which, would exempt It. The same method will be used In secur ing figures as to tho value of city and county property. 'J RISKS DEATH , FOR SPEECH Ml Made Dainh lir an KleelHo Shock Hestored by a Sec ond Stroke.

He was waiting Ms turn to have his whiskers dyed In a Douglas street harbcr shop Saturday morning when Anawena, Queen of the Gypsies, came in and offered to tell him all about his past, present and future for 50 cents. The price seemed rea sonable, but as Mr. Sjbblcman was pain fully conversant with his past and present and was only anxious about the future, he offered to compromise and give her a quarter to "put him next" to the future. The deal was made and tho dark-eyed savant shut her eyes and began seeing things. She took one of his hands In hers and placed It over' his palpitating beart and muttered, "inucha love, mucha love." Then she placed his hand over his forehead snd muttered, "much good lucks, mucha monry. Oh, mucha everythln', happy, rich." Mr. Btbbleman smiled sn expansive smllo and whispered, "Go on, go on," and the Anawena went on and told him all about the glmlous finish he was bound to mako If nobody ''hamstrung" him. "Next," cried out the barber, and Mr. Sibhleman cllmped Into the chair with the ssaurance of a man who knows lust where he Is "at."

He went out on the street, located the queen and Insisted that she use hrr mystic powers in helping him to recover his money. She led him back to the barber shop and began looking under the chair he had occupied while she told his fortune and sure enough she "found" the $10 under the chair. ' Sibhleman had her arrested, but at the station he informed the police that he waa due to take a train for Kansas City In an hour and could not appear against her, so she was not held. Robert L. Mortimer, a wireless employs at the Charlestown navy yard, has becomt the wonder of the medical profession by risking death In the sluipe of a current ct electricity In order to restore his lost power of speech. Recently, Mortimer, through a freak ct tlie highly charged atmosphere and appar. atus of the wireless station, accidentally formed a connection with a vibrating coll and received the full effects of 10,OW vol tage. Tiio operator, who Is young and pliysl cully rugged, recovered in a few minutes from the shock and rose, dazed, and blinded to his feet. Ho shook himself and finally decided that h was none the worse from his encounter with the blue fluid. Five minutes later he tried to address one of his companions at the station, and found that when he opened his mouth lo speak no sound came forth. At first ho was startled nt the belief that he hud gone deaf, but a moment rt listening to the usual sounds of the yard reassured him In that respect. His companion stared at him in amaze ment as the stricken operator stood there opening and shutting his mouth In an ap parently .Idiotic manner. Then, suddenly realizing what had hap pened, Mortimer seized a pencil and wrote on a piece of paper: :"I have received a shock that has left me speechless."' For a week the operator filled his posi tion without Jxlng able to utter other than three sounds during that time. These oc casions were at moments when he was In highly nervous condition, and merely added to his horror at the thought that he was to be compelled to live a dumb man. The news of this peculiar accident spread among physicians, and several days after the occurence Mortimer was ordered tti the general hospital, where he was ex amined by throat specialists. At this gathering, while the young man sat In a chair, he heard one of the physi cians make the remark that there was a chance of restoring the voice by another shook of similar voltage; but and here the voice of the doctor was lowered, though not sufficiently to escnpe the ears of th9 youth such a shock might easily. Instead of restoring speech, Inflict Instantaneous death. Mortimer listened to the remark In s lence and when he left the hospital h returned to the station with a plan In mint'. One forenoon recently when tho other operators were In another room, he rora from his chair walked to the wlndov and looked out for several moments at t! t sky. Then he stepped back to his sen , and suddenly with only his pale chei 1 1 and his tightly compressed lips to Indicate the daring of the act, deliberately reachtl down and made the same connctlon wli 1 the transforming cells that lfad deprivi Ij him of speech. Instantly ho was hurled Into a heap o 1 the floor, but In another moment he lu..l risen to lils feet to discover that his spree ij had returned.

CORPSE COMES TO LIFE Jnmps from Flub at Morgue and Gives Attendant n Real j Thrill. It will be some time' before George Cur rsn of San Francisco forgets the greusome experience that occurred to him at tlie morgue, when a man, to all appearances dead, jumped off the slab, to which he had been consigned,' and grasped the as tounded Curran In a fond embrace. A morgue at Its best can hardly he classed as a jubilee hall, but a graveyard, on a moonlight night, on Friday, the 13th, would be a festlvsl beside the morgue In San Francisco as It appeared to the attend ants of that establishment. The Introduction to the startling affair occurred at the Central Emergency hos pital on Wednesday night, when an un known man was taken there In a state of epilepsy. During the afternoon about 3:30, o'clock he collapsed and was supposed ti have died. One of the nurses at the hos pital, believing the stranger to be dead notified Ihe steward.-' So certain was'slia that life was extinct that, contrary, to custom, she failed to tell Dr. Tillman, whs was on duty, and the morgue was notified, without an examination having been'mada ut the hospital. Shortly afterward the wagon from thn coroner's headquarters drove up to the hos pital and the body of the patient was tucked Into the regulation basket and Mes senger Curran, went calmly about his du ties, blissfully unaware of tho lively nature of the corpse whose chargehe had under taken. t'pon arrival at the morgue Curran plnrecf his charge upon a slab, used for such pur poses,, and had partially covered the body with a sheet when, like a loosened soring the man arose, and, pouncing upon the mcs senger, twined arms and legs about the neck and body of the dumfounded attend ant. Curran promptly fainted. Familiarity' In most cases Is supposed to breed contempt, but when a dead man refuses to stay dead, und cannot wult for the more appropriate, surroundings of a haunted house or a lone some cemetery In which to do his stunts, It Is time to Bwoon and leavo the rough work; to the next person that happens along. , , The sound of the crash ss the two bodies tumbled to tho floor brought an attendant, who,- after some difficulty, succeeded In prirg Ihe energetic stranger loose from. the unconscious .messenger. The patient was hastened back to the Emergency hospltMf. where, ater.un examination, life was again pronounced to be extinct. No explanation can be given for tho phe nomenon,, except that the extraordinary ac tion of the jman was either due to naturat relaxation of the muscles after the strain of epilepsy, or tbt a spark of life had re mained lu the man to die out In a Anal ' convulsive spuam. Curran was badly shocked, snd wan taken to bis home In an automobile in a high etato of hysteria. Tho body of the man waa again removed to the morgue, where Jt was given as wltln a berth' as the duties of the attendants, permitted. San Francisco Chronicle. 1896 TWELFTH ANNUAL STATEMENT .. ..
