Stomach Bitters has and will prove the best

at home and in bed. man and girl about
II years of age, were seen on Second street
by Officer Ryan. He did not ike the looks

nal for their PERCEPTIONS flight into Minna

sion street and finally into John Simpsons
saloon, at, No. 515.
He followed but they had disappeared,
even the saloonist said that no one had
entered his place. Ryan pushed his way
through to the small yard in the rear and
made search, which was rewarded by the
discovery of the girl under the back steps
He pulled her out and found he had made a
catch. The girl was boy. John Lucy.

Lucy. the officer looked up his record and
found he was wanted for burglary on

SAME OLD SHORTAGE.
Over 100000 of Unpaid Warrants
Against the City.

Over 100000 of Unpaid Warrants
Against the City.
The General Fund of the City Treasury
has run dry and there are still unpaid some
thing over 100000 in. warrants. Auditor
Smiley says he. will not sign anything in
excess of the amount appropriated to each
fund.
This puts in rather bad plight city en-
p'oyes who did not 20 to the treasury before
il was empty. as the money brokers will moi
advance anything on unsigned warrants,
and even look with great suspicion on one
that is signed when they find that the fund
is exhausted. Any attempt to give the
shortages in several funds at this date
would be mere guesswork, as none of the
departments have reported, and there is no
possible way OF reaching the results until
they do.
This shortage occurs to greater or lesser
extent every year, and a loud cry always
follows. But it invariably turns out before
the annual accounts are all balanced that
all the hard-worked city slaves draw their
full warrants, with the possible exception of
the school-teachers, and nothing more is
heard of the annual deficit

An uneasy feeling still prevails in the

actually took place. The Methodist Girls
School was attacked and pillaged. Other
mission stations were attacked and were
only saved by the arrival of troops. The
Chinese head officials seem TO be doing their
best TO maintain peace, but their power is
very limited. The under officials are sus-
pected of dlsl0yalty and some OF the troops
are inclined to support the rioters. The
outbreak along the YangtsZe is attributed
TO the secret societies, whose strength has
been increasing of recent years. The whole
YangtsZe Valley is said to be disaffected.
The prime object of the disturbances is not
to injure foreigners, but 10 entangle the
Chinese Government in foreign cOmplica-
TONS in the hope that thereby a chance of
successful instruction may be had.
a French mission station at Tanyang was
wrecked and several adjoining buildings
burned. Riots have also occurred at Kiu-
kiang, and two murders are reported.
The authorities in FoImosa have issued a

Cumpany's steamers, Smith and Cass, the

ers in their competition with the Douglas
line.

1t Is Claimed That His Office Is
Now Vacant.

A movement is being organized to request
the appointment by the President of Gen
eral Chapman to take the place of Colonel
William Forsyth as Worlds Fair Commits
sioner from California.
1t is claimed that the office is vacant, and,

cause of his not having been citizen at the

Profits of Fruit Culture.

Few people are aware Of the enormous
profits realized by the successful fruit
growers of California, and yet fortunes are
being made in this industry. a notable ex-
ample of this fact is A. 7. Hatch, whose
success has been little short of the marvel
Gus. On his fruit farm in Solano County
he has 400 acres of fuli-5earing trees and
400 acres of trees that are still too young to
produce sven small yield. Last year from
the 4C0 acres, after paying the'eXpenses of
the entire orchard, he realized net profit
of 100000. The cost of caring for the
young orchard was nearly or quite $4,000,
SO that his actual profits were little more
than $3.50 per acre. Prices were unusually
high, but the yield of this year is so much
greater that he expects even larger returns.
