MAX DEPARTED HASTILY.
But He Will Return to the. City Witt
An Escort

Max Edelmuth has got himself in trou-
BILE. For three months Max was clerk
ia the crockery establishment of Mey-
berg Bros. For some time the firm has
suspected that Edelmuth has been
engaged carrying away stock in the way
of silver ware and cutlery. Finally
yesterday what was deemed positive
evidence of his guilt was secured.
Yesterday search of his room in the
Crystal Palace lodging house was
made, and he was caught in the act of
throwing some of the stuff he had
stolen out of the window.
The sheriff office was at once no IL
fed, but before any action could be
taken, Edelmuth had departed by the
12:45 Southern Pacific train for the
north. Sheriff Aguirre at once tele-
graphed to deputy at Newhall, to
stop the man, and when the
train arrived at that point he was
taken off. He will now be forced to
return and answer for his misdeeds.

A deputy sheriff was yesterday en-
gagged in fruitless endeavor to find
Tax Collector Robert S. PIatt. The
representative of the sheriff's office was
desirous of serving upon the gentleman
notice OF the fact that L. Bixby had
filed declaration OF his intention to
withdraw from his bond.
The official notification was served
upon S. M. Perry, chairman of the
board of supervisors, but Mr.. Platt could
not be found. Inquiry at the office of the
tax collector developed the fact that Mr..
Platt had not been there for three days.
Deputy District Attorney j. M. G. Mar
BILE claims that he saw him Friday
evening. But it seems remarkably
strange that when Mr.. Platt is so much
desired he never can be fouEd. He is
probably at some of the adjoining sea-
side resorts, in the opinion of most of his
intimate associates. Mr.. Bixby is on
Platt's bond for 81, 800.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
A City Lady Who Required Proof BefOre
Believing.

There recently appeared in the San Francisco
Call, Chronicle, and Examiner, proposition
hitherto unheard of in similar business rela-
tions. 1t was nothing more nor less than an
advertisement in which the Edwin w. Joy
Company, in proof of the curative properties of
joys Vegetable sarsaparilla, offered for limited
period to submit it to the terrific test of "no
cure no pay" Many accepted, and their letters
giving their experience are so convincing as
to be almost beyond belief. Here is another,
written under date January 6, 1906
DEAR sIRs: I accepted your offer to test the
merits of your vegetable remedy in sick head
aches, and called for bottle and got 1t. had
been troubled for long time, and had tried
nearly everything, with little or no effect; but
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla acted almost like
magic and the first bottle relieved me from one
of the worst cases of sick headache one ever
had. MRS. NJ. b. PRICE,

We will from time to time publish others of
these letters. 1t is doubtful If any remedy was
ever before successfully submitted to such
severe yet convincing ordeal.

The Water Commission.

The citizens committee of twenty
seven, appointed by the mass meeting
on June 18th last, has been quietly but
persistenly at work ever since that date,
and will soon be prepared to go before
the people with large amount of exact
and interesting data of their view of
the efficiency of municipal control OF
this very important public service.
The committee has steadily and faith
fully pursued its onerous labors in the
hope that when they shall lay the re-
suit before the people, their task shall
not have been in vain and that the peo-
pie will take it up and carry it to fruit
full end.

NO PRIMARIES.
The Seventh Ward Democratic Club
Petitions the Central Committee.

The Seventh ward Democratic club
met last evening at it's club room on
the corner of Rose and Davis streets.
The meeting was well attended and the
subject of the next primaries was dis
decided to oppose primaries, whether
over or under the state law, and passed
the following resolution
Resolved, That the Seventh ward
Democratic club, believing that the
Democratic party can only hope to sue
ceed when it's counsels are entirely
controlled by Democrats. and the Demo-
cracy of each precinct fairly represented
in its councils and conventions and believ-
ing that thorough organization is
essential to party success, hereby peti-
tions and requests the Democratic
county central committee of this county
that open primaries for theS'selecuion of
delegates to Democratic conventions be
abolished, and that in lieu thereof the
Democratic county central committee
cause to be formed in each precinct of
the county Democratic club, the rules
for membership and government to be
uniform over the entire county, and to
be such as may be prescribed by the
county central committee, and that
these precinct clubs elect the delegates
to all conventions.
Resolved, further, That we recon-
mend to the county central committee
that the requisites for membership
in such precinct clubs be the following:
First, registration. Second, writ
ten declaration by the person desiring
to become member that he is Dem
ocrat and a resident of the precinct,
stating his place of residence. And
third, that the residence of the appli-
cant be vouched for in writing by at
least two Democratic residents of the
precinct,

MYSTERIOUS ARRESTS.
The Police Do Some Work and Refuse
to Talk.

Last evening about eight O'Clock there
was consider able commotion about the
police station. Three parties, all we'll
dressed, were brought into the chiefs
office, and consultation was held, ex-
tending over an hour. When ques-
toned the chief declined to make
any statement as to what the facts were
in the matter of the arrest. 1t was
supposed at first that the three men
were locked up, but later it was learned
that possibly they had been given
their liberty. There was areport cur
rent late this morning to the effect that
the three parties arrested were
suspicious characters who were
being held on telegraphic
advices from Ell Paso, Texas. For just
what offense the men were gathered in
could not be learned, as the officers were
unusually close mouthed in giving any
details in regard to the matter.

DIED ON THE DESERT.
A Little Immigrant Passes Away at
Indio.

On the arrival OF the Southern Pa
cific overland train on Friday night
word was received at the coroner's
Office, that a child had died at Indio
while en- route to this city. Health
officer MacGowan was requested to in
vestigate the matter yesterday, and as
the result of his inquiries it was learned,
that the child was the six months old
daughter of Mrs. McAidle, who was en-
route from New Orleans to San Fran
cisco, and that severe attack of
dysentery had caused its death. Mrs.
McAidle, who had two other little ones,
was without money and friends, and
was assisted bv a Chicago drummer
named A. r. Krum, who not only
purchased medicine but acted as nurse,
and then took up a collection for the
poor woman. The dead child was
brought to this city for interment.
