Gen. Campbell proceeded to give some
figures showing the growth and progress
of the country since the war. He quoted
from Mulhall, the English statistician,
to show that the United States had in
creased three-fold in production and
power since 1861; that it is the most
productive nation on the face of the
globe today; that 81 per cent of the
population over 8 years of age can read
and write; that in case of war 10, 0OO, 900
soldiers could be put in the field, and
that we have 41,O00,O00 instructed citi-
Zens.
Gen. Campbell then branched off on
another subject and closed with a bril-
liant peroration of the usual sort, talk
ing his seat amidst an outburst of ap-
plause.
The Male quartet sang Just Before the
Battle, Mother, with fine effect, and for
an encore gave We Shall Meet, etc.
The benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Mr.. Mclean, after which TAPS
were sounded by Comrade o. T. Thomas.
which closed the exercises.
Immediately after the conclusion Of
the regular program there was a pre-
sentation of the floral pieces by the girls
OF Rosedale school, headed by Miss
Wandry, after which the veterans filed
out of the church. formed in procession
and marched back up town, where they
disbanded.

very elaborate and tasteful and were the
work Of the w. X. c., under the leader

and organ loft were draped in the ma
tional colors, while from the center of
the second balcony another large flag
was suspended. Around the first bal
cony there were a number of smaller
flags. On the pulpit were a number of
beautiful floral pieces, conspicuous
among which were white shield,
broken column and a wreath, the work
of company of thirty-two little girls
of the Rosedale school, under the cap
taincy of Miss Annie Wandry. The Stars

a stand of arms and on the other large

street. About $50 last evening he was
slowly walking along the sidewalk in
front of Theodore Bauer's cribs, maxi
ing a casual inspection of them and
nothing more.
He was going by one woman's domi-
cile when a redfaced. buxom German
lass by the name of Louisa Schmidt
grabbed him by the arm and attempted
to drag him into her crib. Old Smith
proved an unwilling victim but was
taken by surprise and was almost in
when he managed to call halt in the
proceedings Louisa had a grip like a
prizefighter, and tussle ensued the
struggle growing in intensity as the
woman made a grab for the old mans
watch.
Out onto the sidewalk they scuf1ed,
and the Amazon finally got Smith down
on the ground. Two other crib women,
Matte Buckley and a French woman
called Marguerite had been attracted
by the row, and were interested spec

and smashed the old man three raps on

their tale of woe. Matron Gray search

and Matte Buckley were releas-
ed, but Louisa, she of the
brawny arm, was booked for
robbery. Smith was considerably used
up and swears that the Schmidt woman
could give Fitzsimmons points, and then
lay him out. She has a bad reputation
and has been accused of similar Of
lenses before. There is a clear case
against her, only the watch being miss

Mr.. Lankershim had an upper berth

disrobing, he hung his neither garments,
in the pockets Of which was over 5000 in

startled the other inmates of the car by
announcing that he had been robbed,

A thorough search of the car failed to
find the missing article of clothing, and
only resulted in the discovery that an
other passenger had lost his shoes. Then
lady who had a lower berth opposite
the banker. and had been kept awake
by sickness, explained the whole matter

left Fresno. 1t seems that one of the

A Chance for the Business Men

IF the business men of this country

Seventeen years ago suffered from
a serious disease of the bone of my leg
C'necrosis of the tibia"). I had been
under the care Of the best surgeons in
that part of the east, but my trouble
gradually grew worse till amputation
seemed my only hope of relief. My sys-
tenn was so run down that it didn't
seem possible that could live through
an operation. Fortunately I was ad-
vised to call in a surgeon, who is now
the president of the English and Ger
man Specialists, and my recovery dates
from that lucky hour. He removed a
portion Of the bone, healed up the old
wound and built up my general health,
so that my leg was sound as ever. 1t
is many years since that operation, and
I have remained we'll ever since, and I
would like to add my testimony to the big
list of grateful cures that these eminent
specialists have in California. Very
