DamrOn's Bond Said to be of
No Account.
The Sureties Did Not Justify tC
the Paper.
An Interesting Letter from California
ON Wheels.
Library Matters-A Number of New
Books Recently Placed on the
Shelves-Other Matters

]. Marion Brooks says that the bonds
men who agreed to produce Hon. J. M.
Damron's body in court or forfeit 81 900
are not liable to pay for that honorable
Republican legislators great big skip,
because the bondsmen did not qualify.
What Mr.. Brooks means by this he will
probably explain later, but he expresses
his unqualified opinion that the bond
cannot be collected. Judging from what
is done with forfeited bail bonds gener-
ally, for instance the one provided by
the friends of levanted Bunco Steerer
Hood, and for the matter of that nearly
every bail bond declared forfeited
during the present administration of
justice in this county, Mr., Brooks has
good reason for his opinion, but there
may be turn near at hand in the long
lane.
"More than that" said Mr.. Brooks to
a HERALD man yesterday, "there will
never be much OF an attempt to collect
that bond, for Mr.. Damron at the time
he escaped was under the surveillance of
three officers; he was in charge of Off
GERS. But there is no occasion for any
fuss anyway. Damron will be here in a
few days, and he will surrender himself
and be tried and acquitted"

THE LIBRARY.
The Circulation. of New Books
Lately Received.

The improvement of the public library
in one year has been wonderful. 1t is
just year ago that the directors asked
the council to allow the institution the
full amount of money to which it was
entitled under the charter and based
their estimate on what they plainly saw
must be done to make the library suit
able to the needs of the city. The coun-
Gil at that time, while liberal, cut the es-
innate down about quarter, but the
directors went to work with will and
the result is shown in the figures which
represent the circulation OF the books.
Prior to that time the largest circulation
for any month had been ZOO books );
today the circulation averages more
than 10000 per month. During the
wear more than 10000 books of
all classes in demand have been
placed on the shelves, and
if any of the classes were not sufficiently
represented it was because there was not
money enough to go around. Since the
purchasing of the books in large quanti-
ties ended the library has received every
month case of new publications direct
from the publishers, so that the supply
OF fresh reading has been kept up In
addition to this the librarian, Miss
Kelso, has introduced several new ideas
in library work, such as placing maya
zines in circulation for home use. Dur
ing the year as many as ten copies of
each of the leading magazines have been
in constant circulation. This year the
directors have requested the council to
| allow the library it's full amount, as it is
the intention to make the library of
still further use to the citizens.
Among the Improvements contem-
plated is the establishment of
four delivery stations in the four
quarters of the city, where orders for
books may be left and the books deliv-
cred at a late hour. This has been tried
in San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Mil
waukee and other eastern cities, and has
been found to be great success. The
Los Angeles public library has made a
record for itself in the past year which
has extended to the eastern cities, and
if the council does not decrease it's capa-
bilities of making further improvements
this year, it will be far ahead of any
library in the country in city of the
same size.
Among the books added in the last
week or two are the following:
Class 9OO-HistOry.
McCarthy-French Revolution.
disappointing of the Friars.
Glass 8OO-Literature.
Fiske-Midnigh Talks at the Club.
Bainton-Art of Authorship; Laird of
Logan.
Fish-Blessed Birds.
Bridges-Idylls of Lost Village.
Franklin-Sayings of Poor Richard.
Glass 7OO-Fine Arts.

Glass 5OO-Natural Science.
Eubanks-Hydraulics.
Wood-Common Objects of Micro
scope.
Thurston- Heat as Form of Energy.
ankester-Advanceme of Science.
Glass 3OO-sociolOgy.

Chester-Girls and Women.

record at all, in that it did not say any,
thing about the sale Of liquor to minors.
Mr.. Dexter said he would like to know
why it was not. 1t was generally under
stood that the delivery Of liquor to
minors meant selling also. He cOnsid-
cred that the board had not maintained
its resolution of former date, and
therefore ought to be reflected upon.
Mr.. Collins said that although Mr..
Dexter had taken upon himself to voice
the sentiments of the "good-order-lov-
ing people," he had something to say in
this matter. He therefore moved, as a
substitute, that the chief be instructed
to procure a rubber stamp, with the fol-
lowing notice thereon: Liquor dealers
are forbidden to sell liquors to all per-
sons, male or female, under the age of 16
years. Orders in the hands of minors
are not to be recognized. Any violation
of this rule will be cause of the revoca-
tion of this license. By order OF the
board of police commissioners"
This substitute motion having pre-
vailed, Mr.. Dexter tore off the preamble
from his resolution and offered the fol-
lowing for adoption by the board:
Resolved, That from and after this date
it shall be the standing rule of this
board of police commissioners that the
selling or delivering of intoxicating
liquors to any minor by liquor dealer,
or any one in his employ, shall be
deemed sufficient cause for revoking his
license, and on proof of the same the
license of any dealer so violating shall
be revoked at once.
Mr.. Collins said he did not see the
necessity for that now, and this seemed
to be the sentiment of the rest of the
board, for the resolution was rejected.
The board then adjourned.

FROM CHICAGO.
S. ]. Mathes Writes About the Ex-
hibit on Wheels.


1t was warm in Los Angeles yesterday,
but there were worse places to be in.
Chicago was one. A wall from S. J.
Mathes was received from there yester-
day by Secretary Patton, of the chamber
of commerce. Mr.. Mathes is, as is we'll
known, with the California on Wheels
exhibit. He writes: "The weather has
been frightfully hot; it has pretty nearly
knocked me out. 1 lost eleven pounds
in three weeks from nothing but the
heat" Then he gets into more serious
matters, though such heat is serious
enough. He, like many other people,
wants to know "what is the status of the
Santa Fe exhibit here? 1t
seems incredible that such an offer
should go begging" Mr.. Mathes thinks
that he would set the matter going if he
came home. Perhaps he would; he
possesses many of the necessary qualifi-
cations. Mr.. Mathes says that the ship.
ments sent from here by the chamber of
commerce bring forth words of praise
and wonder from all the visitors. The
only fresh fruit the exhibit has received
since it started has been from this city.
The attendance on the exhibition in Chi
cago, he states, is tremendous. All who
60 to see the products shown are de-
lighted. and express the hope of some
time seeing the land that they were
grown in,

A DOCTORS REBUKE.
Immensely More Mischief than is Gem
orally Suspected.

DR.. King, the eminent medical writer, in
learned disquisition on our national COM
plant, constipation, says:-
The great quantity of cathartic pills, etc.,
which are annually swallowed by the people of
this country has been productive of immensely
more mischief than is generally suspected.
True, the physic unloads the bowels, but in so
doing its action tends to diminish the tone of
the intestines; 80 that instead of removing the
costiveness, it aggravates it, leaving the bowels
in more torpid condition.
joys Vegetable sarsaparilla was designed to
fill Just such contingency as the doctors ar
raignment anticipates, viz: instead of being a
powerful mineral purgative, it is a mild vege-
table laxative, that, owing to its solvent and
gentle stimulating properties, is so certain re-
lief in constipation that it has been given away
to hundreds, not to be paid for unless it was of
positive benefit. Itreplaces constipation almost
Immediately with a natural easy habit, and is
so mild that, unlike drastic purgatives, 1t can
be taken indefinitely with perfect freedom and
safety.

A BURGLARY.

Thieves Manage to Make Way With
Good Booty.
Colonel A. H. Miller who lives at
1927 South Olive street may be we'll
supplied with the treasures that thieves
do not steal, nor moth and rust corrupt,
but there is no question about his pos
session of the more material valuables.
At least there was not up to Tuesday
evening, for then thieves broke in his
house and stole over $500 worth of val
uables and jewelry. The theft was com
mitted in the afternoon and the burglars
forgot themselves this time and left no
clue, an oversight they rarely commit.

Obituary..

Died, in this city, on the 21st ultimo, of
failure of the heart, Adolphus, eldest son of
Louis N. and Anna LeMay, born in Watertown,
New York, aged years. 9 months and days.
During the brief residence of Mr.. and Mrs
LeMay in this city, Adolphus had endeared
himself to many as the handsome and numer-
Gus floral offerings on his casket showed. He
had in spite of his tender years, given great
promise of intelligence and artistic talent. He
sank to sleep after receiving the blessings and
rites of the church, to awake in the arms of
our dear Redeemer.

cratic state convention to-day nominated
Thomas Wilson of Winona for governor,

part:
We denounce the recent attempt of the re-

unjust taxation; to stife proper discussion of
public measures; TO substitute the dictatorship
OF the speaker OF the House for the considerate
law monstrous proposals for overturning the
eiectlons Laws OF the states and substituting for
local supervisors of election mercenary and un-
scrupulous agents Of the Republican party.
THE TARIFF PLANE.
We demand reduction of all tariff taxes to
10 the lowest rate compatible with just dis
charge OF the obligations resting upon the
FEDERAL government and so long as a system Of
customs taxation IS maintained that it shall
consist of tariff for revenue
only. we congratulate the republican party
upon the recent concessions to the demo
cratic policy involved in the advocacy by GER
tam eminent republican leaders Of that plan of
free commercial exchanges with certain foreign
countries which is known as reciprocity. This
form OF free trade has formerly operated 10 the
gast advantage of the people of the United
and the Sandwich Islands. 1t can be wisely
extended.
we stigmatize the principal features Of the
measure now pending in the federal congress
under the name of the Mckinley bill as unjust
and unnecessary to the already excessive bur
dens of federal taxation
