Missouri Improvement Headquarters.

Mayer Baker received a telegram from
Senator Powers Thursday stating that
Sioux City had received the headquarters for
the Missouri river improvements. Senator
Pierce was successful last fall in securing
the place for Bismarck. and it was thought
to be safe. But the senators from Iowa
and Nebraska have been tireleSs in their
work, and although Senator Powers has
done some hard work, four senators
are stronger than one. Senator Powers
mas always been a faithful friend to the
capital city, and Mayor Baker telegraphed
him to do all he could to retain the ltca-
ton Pierce had secured. MIR. Powers has
strong influence with the administration,
and Mr.. Baker says he may he able to an
null the change and bring the headquarters
back to Bismarck.

yards and shops at the landing about
twenty carpenters and labOrrrs are at

another boat of the same line, and about
the same size, and one OF the most familiar
boats that has done service or the upper

that, as soon as the other boats are ready
for duty, the carpenters will then
complete the new boat. Most of the wood
work is framed and on the ground and a
greater part of the machinery Is ready or
nearly completed III the shops.
In speaking of the breakup, Captain
Baker remarked that he did rot look for

ABSOLUTELY PURE
EX-JUDGE benson.
His Name Connected With an Alleged
Blackmailing scheme.

blackH1AliluS ScnS1f1c.
The San Francisco Ecdaainer of yester-
day published sensational statement
connecting ex-Judge S. c. benson, form
erly of this city, but now an attorney in
San Francisco, with an alleged scheme to
eXtort blackmail from VIM. p. Fuller, of
the firm of Whittier, Fuller & Co., and
alleging that tho moving spirit i'll the
affair is w. f. Whittier, young Fuller's
partner. benson is the firms attorney.
The story is that young Fuller's name
has been connected with that OF Il woman
named Kendall, who nursed his father,
and that benson, acting for Whittier
who Is said to be desirouS OF getting rid
OF his partner-had endeavored TO induce
her to sign statement charging Fuller
(who is u married nlan) with seduction.
According 70 the Examiners story the
woman made an appointment with
benson, and then informed Fuller and
his attorneys, who secreIed themselves
IN an adjoining room 10 hers; that she
was i'll, and received benson while she
was in bed; that while Fuller and his
friends were awaiting the signal 10 enter
her room, Miss Kendall gave d succession
of screams and rushed 10 where they
were, imploring them 10 save her." that
they found benson pale and trembling,
and that he confessed everything, saying
that he had acted under instructions from
Whittier.
Judge benson lived many years in this
community, and occupied various posi-
tions Of honor and responsibility, serving
two terms on the Superior Bench with
credit. Those who know him Lest will
be slow to believe him guilty Of the con-
duct alleged, especially ii tne charge
should turn out to be based upon inc
story of woman who could pay Il
double part with such dramatic enect rs
it appears the Kendall woman has sue
ceeded in doing.

STIFLED THEM.

Two of the Trustees Examine the City
Jail's Sanitary Condition.
Some time ago Health Officer c. b.
Nichols officially condemned the City
Jail building-not only because of its
rickety condition, but on account Of the
abominable sanitary condition of it.
The City Trustees promised to make an
inspection of the old shell, ana did so, so
far as its general shaky condition was
concerned. But nothing was done re-
garding its sanitary condition until yes
terday. Accompanied by DIR. Nichols,
two of the Trustees, Messrs. Mclaughlin
and Conklin, took a tour through
the structure and had their eyes
somewhat opened. The doctor intro
.duced them TO foul-smelling sinks, reek
ing and leaking sewers and the like,
until they cried enough" They ac-
knowledged that they were completely
knocked out"
The two Trustees ordered some new
cots for the Receiving Hospital, and
some other necessities, and, if they decide
that the Jail must remain where it is,
will, in all probability, have the plumb
ing overhauled.

OUR COUNTY EXHIBIT

Some weeks ago considerable complaint
was made by persons visiting the State
Board of Trade rooms in San Francisco
THAT the Sacramento County exhibit had
been divided up so as to help the APP
pearance OF those from other counties
The complaint was well founded, and as
soon as the matter was called 70 the at
tentlon of Manager Maslin he set about
removing the cause.
A visit to the rooms a few days ago dis
closed the fact that the exhibit from Sac
ramento County is again III its place and
arranged with udesree of taste never be-
fore approached.H The work of all artist
IS now recognized in the manner in which
the display has been placed in the cabi-
net. 1t is so FIR ahead OF the other county
exhibits as to be ont Of comparison. The
dried fruit display, however, sadly needs
replenishing and changing, and ought to
be attended to atgonce. The number OF

a Prisoners Fall at the Jail-Whisky
Saved His Life.
One of the drunks at the Police Station
fell from an upper bunk yesterday morn

stone floor. He came down all in Il heap,
and the thud was a very dull one.
He struck his face on slop-pail, which
cut his nose and lips and badly disfgured
him.
Jailer Clark picked him up for dead,
but, strange to say. when he slept off his
drunk he was all right, except for his
face wounds. Had he been sober the fall
would probably have killed him.
