Ancient History Doctors
Who have located here for the purpose Of
robbing the sick and then flying to foreign
lands. These cheap doctors have loafed
around town for years, in a starving con-
dition, until the boss leg-puller specialist
arrived, and then at an expense of $40
week, hired his so-called specialists to
help him to make an impression on the
public.
These long-hared doctors with whiskers
which carry disease with them, have had
no experience in special practice. We can
and will prove that what we say is so;
thew are heralded before the public as
specialists for anything except honest
treatment.

animation In Court
John D. Chaplain. who resides at 1922
Temple street, has had judgment for
943.S5 hanging over his head for some
time but he does not appear to have lost
any sleep in sitting up nights thinking
about it. The judgment was obtained by
L. Bouttier. who keeps a grocery store not
far from Chapplain's residence, and who
has for prolonged period supplied the
Chaplain household with certain of the
small necessaries of life.
The obtaining of the judgment was COM
paratively easy work, but the finding of any
goods upon which to levy in order to satisfy
the judgment was an altogether different
matter. Everything has been placed in
the name of his wife, and as last resort
Chaplain was yesterday brought into the
township court on supplementary pro-
ceedings.
Attorney Broderson sought by ex,mi.
nation to learn of some property in the
possession OF Chaplain but without avail.
Finally he demanded, at all events, that
the witness surrender the watch he wore in
partial satisfaction of the claim.
Then Chaplain got real mad. He SUR
rendered the watch because he had to but
not without having word to say.
"Hear you,'' said he, addressing Attor-
uey Broderson, whats your name? I
want to know who I'm giving my wa 'ch to,
for this isn't the last of the matter.''
The attorney gave his name, and added
that he was going to hand the watch over
to the constable.

A RELIC OF THE PAST
Queer Mode Of Transferring Property ir
the Old DAYS

Queer Mode Of Transferring Property In
the Old Days
A suit has just been filed by John S.
Baker against Francisco and Celedonis
Domee, Francisco and Maria Moro and
Espiritu Chijulla de Leonis. which illus.
trates the very free and easy modes OBJ
tanning in the earlier days.
Old Pho Pico granted the Rancho E
carpio 10 three. Indians named Urbano,
Odon and Manuel on January 23, 1871.
Odon sold his interest TO Miguel Leonis,
but as neither party could read or write
the crudely drawn deed neither described
the property or named the considera tion.
On March 2, 1871. Miguel de Leonis
conveyed his interest in the rancho to his
wife, Espiritu, and on February Is, 1892,
she, in turn, conveyed it to Joseph W..
Baker. On August of the same year it
again changed hands, being conveyed to
John s. Baker.
Miguel de Leonis died in 1889, and
Joseph w. Baker in 1892, and until these
respective estates came to be settled no
one had knowledge of the irregularity of
the original deed. Suit has now been
brought to reform and thereby correct it.

and then tried to hire DR.. Fretwell, a
member of Or. Shores company, so eager
were they to try and steal Or. Shores
system of treatment. They dog" the
newspapers to death in vain effolt to
have Dr.. Shores crusade suppressed.
They tell, with tears in their eyes, how
Dr.. Shores is killing their business, and
ask for protection, so that they can stay
and rob the poor unfortunate sufferer.
On account of the large number of pa
tients who were unable to consult DR..
Shores last week, DR.. Shores will extend
his ten.days' free treatment offer to all
who apply during the coming week.
Don't DELAY; don't let DR.. Shores imita-
tor separate you from your money. Come
to DR.. Shores, no matter what troubles
you may have, and he will give you Ten
Days Medicine and Treatment FREE.

In the township court yesterday he failed
to answer. He was arrested some time

of Los Angeles for $40, and signing to it
the name of E. Barrow. He was held in
$500 bail, Z. F. Hoist. farmer, and Arnold
Hoist, hotel keeper, being his sureties.
After waiting for short time Judge
Young ordered the bail forfeited. and a
bench warrant issued for the arrest of the
defendant. For a time it was thought
Hoist had skipped the state, but during
the afternoon he came into court with AT.

blame in the matter, saying that he had
labored under apprehension as to the
time set for the examination. The ex-
planatien was considered satisfactory and
the court ordered It's previous order of for

not the result of a simple desire on the

ADJUSTMENTS.

The two brothers Bob and ALI. Taylor,
one a republican, the other democrat.
who cam paigned their state In joint de-
bate for the gOvernorship few years
ago have now come together behind the
footlights in the role OF entertainers and
their entertainment is something entirely
new. Just what II is in fact both the peO-
pie and the press have failed to say. The
title of their theme Is: Yankee Doodle
and Dixie" and under this head they
clash ideas in the most fraternal way,
and yet in a manner which Is highly in
terestinR.
Aft Taylor. the republican, brings up
the first act Of this peculiar drama with
the power of an actor. From climax 10
climax he sweeps his audiences either
with storm OF his eloquence, the gentle
ness of his pathos or the power OF his
irresistible humor.
Bob Taylor, the democrat, reaches out
into many a field of fancy as he portrays
the traits and customs Of his sunny land
Accompanying him is superb male
uuartette in which he sings second tenor,
illustrating the music Of the people Of the
south, including that Of the old time
darkey.
This interesting combination will APP
pear at the Grand opera house tonight,
WANG TOMORROW NIGHT.
"Wang".is announced for one perform
ance only at the Grand opera house to-
morrow night. An exchange says:
The Academy of Music was for the third
time crowded TO the doors last night by a
delighted and enthusiastic lot of Jersey
City people. Never In the history of the
Academy has Manager Henderson scored
such a success. Wang" by the present
company, and under management OF ID
w. Truss, has never been equalled.
Line was formed at the box office, and
every seat was occupied when the curtain
rose on the opening scene of Wang
Late corners were forced tn stand in
fringe behind the seats. The story OF
Wang" is familiar to theatre-goers, AND
has been published in the Journal in con-
nection with the production. IL has run
80 nights at the Broadway in New York
which proved its merits as favorite. II
is more magnificent than ever this season
The scenery is elegant and entirely new,
the music, which is catchy, has been
frightened, the local hits are irresistible,
the pretty girls in gorgeous costumes bill
the stage, and wang" Is indescribably
funny.
The title role could hardly have been
better filled than by Albert Hart. He is
undoubtedly big success as the unscru-
pulous, rolllcking Regent of Siam.
