Vacuum Oils

If a new broom sweeps
clean, a we'll oiled piece OF
machinery ought to run
smooth. There is a saving OF
$50 per cert. to those who use
VACUUM OIL. An engineer
of one of the prin cipal plan
tations says of 600 Cylinder Oil
THAT one barrel is as good
and goes as far as three
barrels of other kinds"
Those who are agents for
other oils are forced to get
VACUUM OIL to send to their
own mills.
Hundreds of competitive
tests have been made with the
600 W. Cylinder Oil against
other grades, and it has de-
monstrated it's value for eco
nomy and utility beyond all
question.
We also handle this oil in
three other grades known as
Vacuoline Engine, Arctic En-
CINE and the Heavy Dark Lu,
bricating OIL.

POLICE COURT.
MendenhaII Committed - Ryan !
Gets Seven Months. {


Gets Seven Months.
The case of F. H. Mendenball, the
young gentleman who came from
San Francisco on the last Australia
expecting TO edo the pretty" on the
money Of others, came up for trial in
the police court yesterday morning.
While Meudenhall stood listening to
the charges preferred against him, he
moved about uneasily with his eyes
cast upon the ground. The defendant
pleaded guilty and the case proceeded.
John Buckley, the only witness,
testified as to the bogus check handed
him by Mendenhall. On October Sth
he gave him a check on Spreckels q
Co, bankers, to the amount Of $50.
To all appearances il was perfectly gen
uine. Buckley said he knew the
young man bad recently arrived from
the Coast and supposed he had money.
He was mistaken in this, however.
On the morning of October 9th Men
denhall called and handed him so.
saying he would pay the other SO in
the afternoon; told him not to present
the check for payment. The after
noon arrived and no Mendenhall APP
peared. On the morning of the 10Th
Buckley took the check to Spreckels
d Co. and there found it was useless.
Returning to MendenhalPs room
Buckley found the young man at
home He said he wished to make
things right and handed him his
watch. a bill of sale was made out
and the watch handed over after
Buckley had given him So. Menden-
hall said ne wanted 20 To- Kauai.
MendenhaII asked Buckley if he did
not try to make thing straight with
him, TO which the defendant received
a reply in the affirmative.
On being asked IL he had anything
to say for himself Mrndenhall replied
To the question Of the judge:
''YOur Honor, / leave my case with
the Court. 1 am a stranger in a
strange land and am placed ia very
unfortunate circumstances. / have
nothing more to say"
Judge Perry decided that the case
was one Of gross cheat in the first de
gree and not within the jurisdiction
OF the District Court. Mendenhall
was committed to the Circuit Court. I.
The case of 4. Il. Ryan for larceny
OF bed-clothes, towels and other arti-
Giles of necessity in "A second class /.
lodging house, from Mrs. II. Luning, /
peculiar German lady from the
vicinity Of Smiths bridge, was the
next ON the calendar.
Mrs. Luning, the first witness, told .
in her good old German fashion, which .
could he understood by very few, the .
story of how Ryan had taken her be
lOngings The man appeared at her
home saying he was from hOlOkai. .
He engaged a room for one week at .
81. AT the expiration of the time she .
went to- the room to fix it up for an
other IOdger, when she found the arti-
cIel meutiOued had di=apUeare1 She
saw Ryan who promised he would .
make her loss good. Upon his failing
to- do this she had him arrested. Other
witnesses cOrrObOrated the statements
of Mrs. Luning and Ryan got seven
months on the reef.

have always been known to have full

panimeut of male voices, together

Re.elect Mr.. TOrrey.

It Is well-establlshed rule in the sue
cessful conduct of private business en-
terprises that the employe who has been
faithful and efficient in a position of
trust will not be discharged without
cause or reason. but will rather be in
vested with new proofs of his employ
ers esteem and consideration. This is
business.
The management of a city is also
business-a business conducted in the
behalf of large number of contribut-
ing partners, who, as profits, want good
government. If, therefore, one official
in that management displays, under
trying circumstances, uncommon fit
ness for his place, and an opportunity
arises for complimenting him by means
of a cordial reelection, is 1t unfair for
us to expect that this opportunity will
be improved?
of James II. Torrey as city solicitor.
The record is clean one and a good
one. 1t exhibits many evidences of
careful and honest work. 1t shows him
to be an eminently safe and trust
worthy legal councillor for the city--an
official who has relied upon results
achieved to speak his eulogy. Not to
re-eIect Mr.. Torrey would be both un-
grateful to him and unfortunate for the
city.

Slightly OfRiu Its Dates.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The boomers of the movement for a
new county to be created out of parts of
Wayne, Susquehanna and Lackawanna,
with the county seat at Carbondale, seem
to be shaky in their relations to American
history. Tho Carbondale Anthracite in
double column head lines declares that the
proposed county may be called Mere
dith," after the secretary of the treasury
of lSi9, whose grave Is near by. The sec
retary of the treasury of 1a9 was william
NJ. Meredith, who lived and died in Phila-
delphla. The only Meredith Of national
reputation buried in northeastern Penn
sylvania was Samuel Meredith, who was
born in Philadelphia, a brigader general
during the Revolutionary War, who gave
10000 in silver to carry on the war and
who became the first treasurer of the
United States, from 1881 to 1901, and who
advanced $4,000 to the new government,
which he never got back. No doubt this
is the Meredith after whom II Is suggeste ID
the proposed county should be named.

Calling a Halt.

1t is probably JUS as we'll that the
legislature should, even at late day,
have set the example os refusing to
raise salaries indiscriminately. 1t has
drawn the line at the superintendent
of public printing. by declining to ad-
vance his pay from $4,000 to $4,000 per
annum, and while we do not know
about the duties Of this particular office
under the proposed readjustment, yet
if Governor Hastings shall find a lack
OF candidates for the position at $1,000
year, 1t will be doubtless the first
time since the organization of the COM
monwealth that $4,000 Office will have
gone begging.
At a time when the revenues of the
state and of It's citizens are low beyond
recent precedent, and when the legiti-
mate demands of state institutions ag-
gregate more than ever before in time
Of peace, the house Of representatives
is to be commended for going slow in
the matter of voting unearned public
funds to individuals out of personal
compliment. Such gratuitles ought to
be the last things thought of. and not
the first and chief ones.
A good way for the superintendent
of printing to get his salary raised
would be to accept the job at $4,000 u
year-which is more by several dollars
than the average professional man is
earning these days-weather along for
q time as best he may, giving the COM
monwealth a materially improved SER
vice; and then, when the clouds have
rolled by, show by facts and figures
that not only Is he worth more, but
that 1t would be good business economy
on the states part to give him more.
That kind of policy. ten to one, would
knock the perslmmon.

Let Love Dc Unconflncd.

From the New York Sun.
The law proposed for Illinois TO tax
bachelors between 20 nd G5, who cannot
prove that they have proposed unsuccess-
fully to three separate women, is as wrong
ss wrong can be. If either division OF the
unmarried Is to be taxed, 1t should be the
women. Say that each woman refuses
the marriage offers of five men, not
n very unreasonable supposition; II fol-
lows that taxation to promote marriage
should be first laid upon women. The
clause requiring bachelors to show three
eweethearts Is a gross outrage on senti-
ment. Love, to be supreme. or of the sort
to be consistently advocated, can come
but once. 1t can be bestowed by a man
upon but one woman, and by woman can
be left for only one man. We are down on
this Illinois policy OF cultivdting second
rate grades OF affection, and Of trying to
turn the divine light which should shine
straight from heaven, into every unworthy
and unnatural Granny. Up to date, love
