water is running over it a little in the
low places A large force Of men are
at work on the levee with bags of dirt
to keep the water out and to save the

gratifying to see how many appreciate il.

for his release he assigned to them his bank
account of 500 %. This money was given
with the understanding that lie was to be
taken out Of jail and defended. Rose said
he was not trying to escape when he was
arrested in Solano County. He merely went
out OF the way TO give his sureties a chance
to exercise a little pull In his behalf
Failing in this because OF the newspaper

Ibere were rumors yesterday that Mrs.

name was Hoffman. ana he committed sui

shooting himself in the head. While work
ing in resort south of Market street-she
went to live with Clark, to the disgust OF
Rose, with whom she had been friendly for
some time. Whether she married Clark or
not has not been clearly stated. The rumor
started yesterday that Clark, who died last
Monday, had been poisoned. Drs. Fitzgib-

certain that peritOnitis was the cause of
death, and signed a certificate to that effect

Rupture
Cured

In the science of medicine there has probably
never been such complete triumph achieved
as the discovery of cure for Rupture without
Surgical Operation.
This new method consists of MEDICINAL
MEANS ALONE, applied externally. You
undergo no operation, and will not be incon-
Venienced in the least. The treatment consists
OF local applications only, and so confident are
We of its merits that we will furnish you with
WRITTEN GUARANTEE and will not accept
one cent from you until you are permanently
cured.
The length OF time required for a cure, even of
the most stubborn cases is only from 80 to 80 days.
Nearly every one knows the gre at dangers accom-
panying rupture. The unfortunate victim is viz.
