passion as well as censure. failure Of appetite,
loss of sleep and flesh. impaired digestion, an un-
certain state of the bowels and symptoms OF bill
iousness are so many warnings of the approach of
disease. To disregard them is abject folly, which

preventive of bodily mischief in the shape of
chronic disease, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will

Among these are chronic indigestion. liver com

Destroy the Caterpillar.

The great number of caterpillars' nests
in this vicinity is repusve sight, and
not only that but they are harmful in
every way, for after coming out of their
nests they attack the naples and in some
places by devourlng the foliage have killed
the shade trees. If everyone would see
to it that the nests are destroyed on their
own premises it would be a great help to-
ward eXterminating them.
We think the coming legislature should
pass a law and some strict measures taken
to rid us of these pests. If, for instance, a
person destroys them on his own premises
and others right around neglect TO do SO
what better off is he?

DRIVEN AWAY BY A DOG.
Mission Burglars Make an Unsuccessful
Attempt at Burglary in the
Mission.

A fox-terrier at the house of s. E..
Thompson, 1881 Capp street, scared burg
lars away yesterday morning.
When the members of the family were
retiring for the night the terrier went into
the kitchen, an unusual thing for him,
and refused to go outside to his kennel.
Miss Thompson tried coaxing and threats,
but the dog refused to stir. She called her
father and he compelled the dog to CO.
About o'clock i'll the morning the fam
lily was awakened by the loud barking of
the dog, but no attention was paid to it.
In the morning the dog could not be
found, but there were traces of blood on
the garden walks and on the porch.
Mr.. Thompson reported the case to
Lieutenant Burke at the Seventeenth
street station. who advised him to make a
more careful search for the dog. Then the
animal was found under the chicken-coop,
nearly dead. He had been cut on the neck
and body several times. Thieves had at
tempted to kill the dog, but had become
alarmed at his loud barking and had fed.

RAIDING THE FISHERMEN,
An Exciting Chase to Capture
Two Men in Carquinez
Straits.
Over -Four Hundred Dollars Worth Of
Illegal Fishing Gear Taken
by Deputies.

The sturgeon fishermen in Suisun Bay
and up the rivers had hard time of it last
week. Deputy Fish Commissioners Al
Wilson and A. II. Davis made raid upon
them and destroyed over $500 worth OF IL
legal fishing gear and arrested two fisher
men. They started out in the launch on
Wednesday and made quick run to the
grounds, where they had good reason to
believe the sturgeon fishermen had out a
lot of set lines with Chinese" hooks at
tached. On arriving they began TO drag
Suisun Bay and the sloughs. In four days
they raised seventeen set lines, many Of
which were new.
AS result of their raid four lines were
taken at Bouldin Island, two at Switched
Island, two at Marsh landing, two at
Montezuma, one in Suisun Creek. one at
Martinez, one at Benicia Flats and four at
the cutoff at Suisun. These lines were
worth about $50 apiece, being of the best
OF material. If fastened end to end they
would make q half-inch rope over three
miles long. Several thousand hooks,
worth $50 a thousand, were cut from the
lines and thrown overheard.
In addition the deputies secured anchors,
worth 50 apiece, used to hold the set lines.
The lines and anchors will be kept until
caLed Tor hy the owners. if the latter
snould dare to take the chances, for the
law does not provide for selling such illegal
gear.
But few sturgeon were found hooked,
the most OF the fish being striped bass,
pike and catfish. On one Of the lines was

in several instances the fishermen sat in
thelr arks and quietly watched the con-
nscation of their gear, not daring TO claim
1t or protest for fear of arrest.
During the cruise the deputies had one
exciting experience. They saw two fish
ermen out in skiff taking up their lines
which were set in Carquinez Straits. The
illegal fishers endeavored to escape into
shoal water, where the launch could not
go. They abandoned their lines, set SAIL
for the wind was blowing hard in their
favor, and pulled with all their might;
The launch was put to its highest speeo
ana the race was exciting. The nshermeh

the distance TO the shoals, which meant
safety and escape. Illegal fishermen are
too hard to catch at work on their lines 10
