USE ON YOUR LAWNS SturteYant'S Granulated Tobacco and Sulphur For = Fertilizing and
 Other Purposes

Being oderIess and clean and without foseign seeds, it has no equal as A lawn dressing. It Is convenient in form, easy of application, and will not burn or injure the lawn. For all garden or field pur- poses it stands at the head of all fertilizers in the market. It IS less in cost, is double in bulk, and will do all work better. There is no vegetable which cannot be suc- cessfully grown by this product.

Big mark down on our whole stock of Capes, beginning Friday and continuing until all our garments are sold.
 It is vory early in the season to think of 1 making such a sacrifice but we must have | the space the garments new occupy in our Cloak room to enable us to properly dis play Ladies' Suits that are daily arriving. We received our Spring garments early in the season, have had 8 satisfactory trade on them and propose to close out all we now have on hand at greatly reduced prices. Not single garment will be re- served, all will be marked down to so low price that many who have been waiting for the June mark down, can take advan- tage of this opportunity and purchase now and by so doing get months wear from a garment just when it is most needed. We wi ,h to be understood, not garment will reserved. Our entire stock will go on sale Friday at big sacrifice. Black Diagonal Jackets with large gathered sleeves, reefer style, full skirt. Light mixed covered coats, close fitting, full sleeves and skirts High grade Jackets of every description, all to be sold very cheap. Very handsome black and colored Capes, in browns, tans, navy, grey and light mixtures. Beautiful BLACK MOlro tapes WILL JoI ana laco trimmings all going to be closed out at once.
 In Children's Reefers and Coats we have all sizes from 4 to 16 years in garments that we considered exceptionally good value and they were, but now they are all to be sacrificed. These goods which we offer at this sacrifice sale are new this spring all in the very latest styles. It seems shame to cut the prices as we are doing but we must have the room. Our suits are demanding more room and we must have it for them, so the coats have to give way to the suits.
 We have some specially good things in Children's and Ladies' Hosiery and Un- derwear. We shall put on sale Friday, two specials. One is handsome Ecru Jersey Vest at 125c. This would be good value at 25c. Not more than Is dozen in all and they wont last long,
 Our second special bargain is boys or girls ribbed Cotton Hose, finished feet, double heel and toe. All sizes 6 to g for 125c. The tan color and black Cotton Hose for ladies that we are selling for 1Oc and 12c are going quick and they ought to.
 Have you seen the four button gloves, we are selling so many of at 98c pair. When allowed to do SO we fit each pair of Kid Gloves we sell. Our trade in this depart ment has more than doubled in the last month.

TOBACCO TRUST,
1T CONTROLS IS PER CENT OF THE
CIGARETTE BUSINESS.
Further Testimony of Jobbers
Shows That Nearly Every Dealer
Is mt It's Mercy-Giying Away
Matches Not Allowed.

New York, Dec. 13.-The examination
of witnesses in the proceedings by At
torney General Stockton. of New Jer-
sey. against the American Tobacco
Trust Co., to annul the charter Of the
company, was resumed before Commits
sioner Walter Cleary today. There have
been several examinations held within
the past two months, at which the tes-
timony of jobberS and dealers have
showed that the trust controls 50 per
cent. Of the cigarette business in the
United States. Commissions have also
been issued in other states, and dur
ing the week witnesses have been ex-
amined in st. Louis and Minneapolis.
The first witness today was Henry B.
Herbert. a Brooklyn cigar dealer. Two
years ago, he entered into a contract
with the American Tobacco company
the terms Of which he never clearly
understood. His rebates were cut off,
and then his entire supply Of cigarettes
was stopped because the company
deemed his act in giving away matches
to customers an attempt to cut the
price. Witness sold 100000 cigarettes
without rebate. He received a circular
from the company with reference to
the terms ON which rebates were grant
ed, and after signing a printed paper
he got his rebate. Mr.. Herbert said he
was to sell at $1.90 per box, or $3.50 per
thousand. He was allowed 2 per cent
for payment in ten days and 2 % per
cent. every six months.
Mr.. Lindberg then took a hand for
. 10 he IN
admit that after his conversation with
the company's representatives, he had
given his customers no matches with
their cigarettes. Witness said that
when giving the matches away he
knew he was violating the contract
with the company.
julius Z. Herman, of the firm of E.
Eisenberg, Backman & Co., of San
Francisco, was the next witness. He
! is thepresident Of the J. B. Pace To-
bacco company of Richmond, Va. The
witness produced a number of invoices
from 1889 to 1894, for goods supplied by
/ firms belonging to the trust. The in
voices prior to 1891 were from the in
dividual companies which Subsequent
( ly formed the trust. In the latter ones,
each company was styled Branch of
1 the American Tobacco Co" In Feb
ruary, 1891, he signed a contract with
the American Tobacco company. He
was cut off about three years ago, and
when he went to headquarters he was
! told that he was selling cigarettes I'M
der stated prices. After a month he
was restored. He then signed a new
contract, agreeing to sell no more
cigarettes under the stated price of the
company. He was cut off a second time
about a year ago.
THE American Tobacco company
never asked me to return the cigarettes
they had forwarded to me. When
pay for the cigarettes, less the 2 per
cent, they belong to me-" said the wit

: WORKED POLICEMEN.
burglars Arrested and Stolen Prop
erty Disposed of--In the PoIics
Court Yesterday.


The overworked. short-handed police
force yesterday proved the mettle that
is in them, when three Of their number
made a most important catch of gang
of burglars and recovered more plum
der than the most sanguine had hoped
for.
Taking a cut finger as g clue. to-
gether with suspicion pointing toward
a tough trio, whose police court record
has been anything but enviable. Pa
trolmen Roberts and Gillespie and Ser
geant Ford started forth. After put
ting in nearly the whole time since the
burgiaries of Tuesday night were re-
ported. the officers intuition on the
various crooks and turns in the clue
led them to the house of Miss Ella
Curtis. a frail woman whose abode is
at the corner Of Eighth East and
Fourth South street. Here. yesterday
noon, the officers discovered the bur-
glars hiding in the cellar They were
fished out and taken TO the police sta
ton. where they gave the names OF
Norton Curtis. Henry Wright, alias
Henry Stewart, and Dan Henry, alias
Joseph Scott The two first-named are
20 years of age. while the latter is only
1s.
| On the way to the station one OF the
trio told where the stolen property was
concealed. although the officers had
the near vicinity of the cache already
under surveillance. Repairing to a
cow-shed near the corner of Fourth
South and Eighth West streets. the
officers dug up a trunk and telescope.
/ in which were about $500 worth Of un-
derwear, silk handkerchief, shoes and
/ groceries that were stolen from Eard-
! ley's South Main street store and from
| Shaw's store at us s. West Temple
street.
The evidence against the boys was
conclusive. but to make assurances
doubly sure, Dan Henry confessed the
whole business to Chief Pratt Their
is little doubt in the latter's mind thai
two of the boys were the perpetrators
OF the Agricultural park street car
hold-up act a few weeks ago.
| While the officers were searching the
place where the boys were secreted,
they found the three pieces of silverware
stolen from Mrs. Julia H. Aliens house,
ITO N. State street. on the 5th inst
The young burglars were locked up
pending a preliminary hearing on
charges sufficient in number to insure
their detention under sentence for sew

MAY TAKE ON ARMS.
Somewhat of n Marine Mystery in
the Harbor of San Diego.

San Diego, Cal, Dec. BIT was learn
ed today, on what is considered good au-
thority, that the Mexican transport OAK
AGA, now In this port, is waiting here for
q, decisive turn in the MeXico-Guatemala
question, with the intention, if war
ammunition and arms TO be taken to the
port of San Benito, on the Guatemalan
frontier. The OaXaca will probably take
troops from Guay'anllas and Mazattlan 70
San Benito on the same trip.
T. Alexandra CeTfsole. of the Oaxaca,
would not admit that such was the pur-
pose OF his visit here, and reiterated that
the vessel was Simply undergoing repairs,
and that she would then await orders
from the department of marine. He said
that he was disappointed, however, in
not finding everything that he desired 10
outfit the ship, and this remark is taken
as q confirmation of the report concern
ing firearms and ammunition, as every
thing in the way of provisions, supplies,
coal, etc, is at hand in this port.
William Fearon, experimenting engi-
neer for Don Joaquin Redo of Mazatlan,
who is in the city, with Joaquin Redo,
jr., for the purpose of purchasing the
steamer Manuel Dublan, is in charge of
the negotiations during the Temporary
absence of Mr.. Redo in San Francisco.
General Manager Bruce, of the Colonial
tior company owning the steamer, is
expected to come up from Ensenada on
Sunday morning, and the deal will then
probably be closed.
It is not unlikely that the Dublan is
being purchased for use in the impend-
ing Guatemalan war, either by the Redos
privately or Through them by the Mexi-
can government 1t was learned today
that the purpose of MT. Re1os visit to
San Francisco was to go over tine esti-
mates for two or three vessels to be con-
structed for him in that port. The rea-
son given for this unexpected activity is
that the trade along the Gulf and Paci-
fic coasts of Mexico Us rapidly increasing,
but the rumor that the transport Oaxaca
is preparing to ship arms and amRnuni-
ton, lends color to the belief that the
Dublan and the new steamers will be
utilized for naval and transport purposes
by the Mexican government.

A DOUBLE TRACK,
Salt Lake City Street Railway Com
nany's Latest improvements

The Salt Lake City Railway company
yesterday finished strlnging overhead
wire for the double track recently put
down in the Waterloo district. This long
stretch of double track enables the cars
to be run on time, and makes THE addi-
tfonal mileage added as far as Twelfth
South, and the residents of the south
eastern portion of the city are accord
ingly happy over the results. 1t is ru-
mored that such Improvement is but
the forerunner of more to come for that
immediate section, as the 13-minute serv-
ice 50 long maintained ON that line has
been fruitful of pleasing results in the
end to the company, and has given them
their cue for future developments
