Judge Key was busy all day Monday dis
posing OF trivial violations of the internal

submitted.
A number were fined some small
amount, many penalties were suspended,
and few were sentenced to jail.
The court room and corridors in the
custom house were thronged with moon.

Summons to appear before the tribunal.
Many citizens visited the custom house
TO catch a glimpse of the moonshiners,
seeming TO think that they are tiends In
carnate, uncOuth and reckless. There is
no class of men on top of the earth who
are more slandered than what are termed
"mOOnshiners."
Most people regard them as representa-

ignorance, lawlessness ana ierOcity watch

which infested the Businesses OF Europe,

DUNKELBERGER WILL CONTEST
would Like to Warm Tommy
HOwan's Supervisoral Seat.


Isaac r. Dunkelberger, the defeated
candidate for Supervisor of the Third
Su! ervisoral District of Los Angeles
county, yesterday filed papers with the
County Clerk, notifying him that he
will contest the election of I. e. Rowan,
his fortunate opponent, on the ground OF
malconduct on the part OF the Board oil
Judges Of election in each and all of the
several election precincts, included in
and comprising the said Supervisoral
District, but more particularly the Sixth
eecti,n pl ecinet. Mr.. Dunkelbefger
explains this epidemic malconduct IN his
| district in n very ingenious manner. lie
says that great number OF the regular
Democratic tickets contained the names
of all the officers to be elected at the
election, excepting that of the Demo
cratic candidate for Supervisor; that the
name of the candidate was not filled in
| by the voters, but that, nevertheless,
| the Judges of election counted such
votes for Mr.. Rowan, to the number OF
over one hundred. The defeated can.
| didate further AYERS on Information and
belief that regular Democratic ballots
illegally marked on the back, were
counted for his opponent. Mr.. Dunkel-
berger, in conclusion, expresses 1t as hi
opinion that, inasmuch as the recount OF
the Board of Supervisors only gives Mr.
Rowan majority of twenty-five. in the
event of the deduction of all the votes
which the contestant claims were lille
gally given o his opponent, Mr.. Rowan
would not be entitled to certificate OF
election as Supervisor, but that itwould
be his (Dunkelberger's) privilege to OBJ
| tain il.

CONSUMPTION.

The following are prominent SYMPTOMS
IN the hrst stage, and wherever any of
them exist thorough examination shou i.
always be made, with a view to arrest :
the disease If shown to exist: There is IL

else, disposition to remain passive a 4
IDLE, dependency, often from no apparent
cause, peculiar sensitiveness to the effect
OF cold, and breathlessness upon moving
quickly or decending Il hill or stairs. a
slight, hacking cough, with or without pee
toratlon, excitability upon slight occasions
flying pains through the chest or back, or
under the shoulder blades The symptoms
are most noticeable toward or during the
night; slight fever in the afternoon; cold
feet and hands, or in many cases blue livid-
ity of the lips and roots of the finger nails,
Constitutional or tubercular CONSUMPTION
is common form of lung disease. The
progress Is slow, but II left to itself no less
at first these tubercules are exceedingly
minute, the patient not at all suspectinp
their presence. Gradually they develop in.
to more active disease, and then follows the
train of symptoms which leaves no douht
as to its true character. Sometimes splitting
of blood or slight streaks in the mIicns iS
the first indication of tubercular deposit or
1t may be, chilly sensation in the back.
followed by more or less heat in the paIms
of the hands, or an afternoon flush on the
the cheeks. The slow and gradual inroads
OF this form 81 consumption leave the stom.
ach and appetite undisturbed for consid.
an, and night sWeats, spper,vene, preceded by
strength becomes rapid, the chest contrac,s
the features sharpen, the eye attains an I'M.

realize that ne is in the last stage Of con.

About 10 o'clock Friday night the
barn of Mr.. F. c. Howes, on Jefferson

burned up. Mr.. Howes had just retired

gave the alarm. Mr.. Howes and the
hired man rushed to the barn and found
the doors all locked, so the fire was
evidently set from beneath the building.
They succeeded in getting out wagon
and four horses from the barn. with one
horse badly scorched on the head.
