CURE DYSPEPSIA.

in regard to the allegation of Attorney
Charles S. Wheeler that he had consented
to the offer of $500, 600 to Mrs. Craven for
the renunciation by her of her claims
against the estate.
AT his request he was sworn, and reiter-
ated, in greater detail, the statement made
in his behalf by his attorney, Garret Nc
Enerney, in the general tilt of Monday last.
He said that any man who would connive
at the suppression of will was unworthy
to act as executor. Some representations
had been made to him concerning deeds
held by Mrs. Craven for real property
which was held to be part of the estate.
He had offered to join in an application to
the court for the payment of such sum in
consideration of her handing over these
deeds and forfeiting all claims under them.
He was willing to answer any questions
which the lawyers might wish to put, he
said.
None of them signifed any desire to ask
questions and Mr.. Goodfellow retired.

THE FAIR SISTERS
WILL NOT CONTEST
Have No knowledge That
the Pencil Will Is
Forged.
AND REMAIN NEUTRAL.
A Short Time Ago They Were
Certain That II Was the Gen.
uine Last Will.
WILL COME TO TRIAL SOON.
All Matters in the Controversy Held
Over Until the Authenticity of This
Document Is Decided.
WILL COME TO TRIAL SOON

The Fair will complication shaped itself
yesterday into the appearance of coming
to trial at some time on its merits.
Judge Slack signified that he would de-
eide the matter of the standing of Van r..
Paterson In the case, as TO his right to con-
test the will of the oath on behalf of the
children, by Monday next if the counsel
would get in their briefs in time. That
being disposed of, the court said the con-
test might come on at once before the jury
now impaneled.
The most important move made yester-
day in the case was the filing of an answer
on the part of Virginia Fair and Mrs.
Oeirichs to the opposition of Charles Fair,
in which they declare quasi-neutrality.
They say in so many words that they
have no knowledge or information in re-
gard to the truth of the assertion that the
will of September "a Is forgery, and
therefore assert, ION information and be-
lief," that the will is genuine.
This is the first declaration from fhe
daughters, who have been apparently
holding aloof, prepared to enter through
whichever gate was opened to success.
Attorney Delmas casually remarked the
other day that they were liable to the
charge of having defaulted in having
failed to answer their brothers. contest
This seems to have brought them into
court.
ever, is almost in direct conflict with state
ments made in their behalf earlier in the
proceedings.
When the conflict between Judge Van
R. Paterson and Herman Oelrichs Sr. for
the guardianship of young Herman Oel-
ricbs came up before Judge Slack on May
8, 1895, Reuben Fl. Lloyd said:
1.-THE will of September "a was submitted
to Mrs. Oelr1chs, to her sister and to all
interested, and they all concurred that it
was in Mr.. Fairs writing, and is his will. -
The court at that time ordered the state
ment of Mr.. Lloyd to be incorporated as
part of the evidence in the case.
The date for the trial of the contest of
the will of the oath will probably be fixed
next Monday.
By consent i. was arranged that the de-
position of Mrs. Craven should be taken
at that lady's residence next Saturday
morning, she being too i'll to come into
court or to leave her room. The deposit
ton will be taken before notary.
Notary ]. ]. Cooney was in court to an
swer his citation for contempt, but the
matter was postponed until this morning,
when he will also read and sign his depo-
sition. The absence of Attorney Delmas
was partially responsible for the postpo ne
ment.
R. B. Mitchell, by consent, put in a
question to Cooney to be made part of
the deposition. He wanted to know if the
notary was acquainted with Mrs. johnson,
the mother of Mr.. Barkes, VINO was in the
employ of O'Farrell & Lang. The witness
said he did not know her.

Roads; and has by his untiring and efficient
work succeeded in getting our harbor and
postal systems improved and an appropriation
for restraining dams for our hydraulic
mines; and whereas, the Hon. Eugene
f. Loud has endeared himself to the
people of California through his successful
efforts in carrying out the instructions OF his
constituents to prevent the Central racine
Railroad Company from paying lts lndepteo-
ness to the Government by refunding the
same; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we will use all honorable
means to re-elect him in November next, that
he may be able to carry out the wishes OF his
constituents and continue his good work In
the best interest of the people OF this State and
the workingme1 OF the United States
Fred McGregor made brief address, at
the conclusion of which he was heartily
indorsed by the club in his candidacy for
the office Of Justice of the Peace.
Thomas Graham, who aspires to be q
Police Judge, was also indorsed.
The club loudly applauded Edward M.
Gallagher when he took the platform.
Mr.. Gallagher aspires to represent the
Thirty fourth Assembly District, and he
was heartily indorsed at the meeting, for
which he returned his sincere thanks.
T, B. Morton, president of the Afro
American Club, and W. E. Henderson of
the same organization made speeches
upon the political topics of the day.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Mayors,
which was unanimously passed, indorsing
and approving the efforts OF John D..
Spreckels IN his endeavors to uphold and
promote the interests of the Republican
party in the cause of good Government.

A NEW SOPRANO.

Mme. Ella Prankard Scores y Success,
mt the Emporium Concert.
A magnificent rendition of the cavatina
from Robert le Diable" by Nine. Ella
Prankard. from the Grand Opera in
Vienna, was the pleasant surprise pre-.
pared for the great audience which lis.
tened to the Emporium concert last night.
Nine. Prankard has a mezzo-soprano OF
great sweetness, compass and fiexibility.
and Notwithstanding the somewhat i'm.
perfect acoustic properties of the great
dome under which she sang, she fairly
carried away her hearers with the bril-
liancy of her performance. As an encore
she sang Arditis beautiful 'sIl Bacio" in
a most acceptable manner.
The Emporium concerts, under the able
management of Mr.. John Marquardt, have
become one of the amusement features OF
San Francisco which no music-loyer
misses The doors of the big store open
every Wednesday and Saturday evenings
to give these delightful concerts free of ali
charge. Free concerts of like merit can
only be heard in the great capitals oil
Europe.

ing of pensions OF $50 to SIS a month to
the widows of officers. He stated that
soldiers who had fought In the cause of
the Union were entitled to as much as
the officers.
On the conclusion of Congressman
Loud's address a motion was made by
Adiutant- General James Kip that Mr..
Loud be the choice of the camp from the
Fifth District as Congressman in the pres
ent campaign. Mr.. Lo1d was elected
unanimously by rising vote.
The following resolution was adopted by
the camp:
WHEREAS, The Republican Municipal Con-
vention will soon assemble in this City for the
purpose OF nominating municipal ticket to
pc voted upon at the coming election; there
fore,
RESOLVED, That Leland Stanford Camp No. 2
OF the Army and Navy Republican League of
the 'soldier vote" of this City. do cordially in
dorse Captain Leon E. Jones for the position
OF Sheriff of the City and County of San Fran
cisco, believing that his qualifications emil
nently fit him for that position, and we re-
spectfully but urgently request that said con-
vention place him upon the ticket for the posi-
tion named.
Deland Stanford followed with an appro-
pirate address.
Miss Dora Johnson then recited the
"Maid of Gettysburg" which was received
with great applause. She afterward, by
special request, danced the "Cracovienne, !"
a pretty Polish dance. She was accom-
panied on the mandolin by Professor
Mansfield.
1t was stated that next Wednesday night
there will be joint meeting at Kohler IL
Chase Hall of Leland Stanford Camp No.
q the Alger Camp No. and the McKin-
ley Camp No. 1, and two weeks from last
night will be held the regular meeting of
Camp No. 2.

pleasure and socialbility were intermi1ed

pleasure and socialbility were intermixed
with politics.
This innovation was explained by Joseph
W. Woods, the president of the club, who
said in his opening address that the object
of inviting the young people of Golden
Gate Valley to an assem- mblage OF this kind
had twofold object. First, it would be
the means of dra wing together young men
who up to this time had not joined th e
club, and, second, it would give the
young ladies an opportunity to hear some
of the doctrines of the good old Republican
party.
These remarks were received with
round of applause, the ladies being the
more enthusiastic.
Hon Frank II. Powers, on being intro
duced, spoke at considerable length upon
what would follow should the Democracy
continue in power for another four years.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Powers re-
marks the club resolved itself into social
affair. The following programme was
carried out, finishing up with dancing:
Vocal selection. "Mother Was Lady"
Robert L. CLARK Jr.; selection, orchestra; vocal
selec ton, Mrs. o. A. Forster; piano solo,
Fiesta March," Professor ]. E. Patton; song
Joseph Sutton; song, Miss Adele A Brown !;

so instead of taking tug Captain Bowes s
sailed his vessel in ana worked her to
California City under full canvas. As
she passed Sausalito hundreds of people
turned out TO see her, and the crews of the
British ships lying in Richardson's Bay
admired her as she glided along. The
vessel Is consigned to the Lynde & Hough
Company and the fish will be cured at
California City. The catch of Goldfish has
been a very good one this year, but the
demand for the California prepared article
is so great that there will be no diminu-
tion in the price.
The Fremont made the run from Sand
Point in the good time of sixteen days,
and Captain Bowes could not see why he
should take tug when he had a fair wind.
For the first time almost in the history of
the port the Fremont sailed right to her
anchorage and never shortened sail until
within half mile of California City.
The worlds record has been broken.
The schooner Prosper, owned by J. Fog ell
of this port, has made the run from
Shanghai to Puget Sound in thirty-one
days. This beats steamer time, and Cap
tain Johansin must have had gale of
wind behind his vessel during the entire
trip in order to make such extraordinary
time. "All know about the run" said
Mr.. Fogel yesterday, ''is that the schooner
left Shangha in ballast for Tacoma. We
did not expect her TO reach port for an
other three weeks and were surprised to
hear of her arrival. She will load lumber
for Japan, and if she makes another quick
run why we will think we have world
beater." The Prosper is handsome
looking schooner, but never during her
life has she made a run equal to this one
to Tacoma from Shanghai.
There was Geographic story from Port
land, Or, to the effect that the whaleback
City of Everett had picked up four
masted ship and was towing her south.
The sailing vessel had lost her forem asst
and was listed, according to the dispatch.
The City of Everett arrived this morning,
and the captain says he ran straight
course from Flattery, and never spoke
disabled vessel during the trip.
The barkentine City of Papeete, which
made an exceptionally long trip from Ia
hiti to this port, has cleared tor Papeete.
She is almost week behind time and, as
she carries the French mail, that will
mean difference TO the French colony of
over fortnight.
Captain Berude does not expect to make
a fast passage, but nevertheless he may be
disappointed.
Before the END of the month the Oceanic
Steamship Company's steamers and the
Spreckels tugs will forsake Folsom street
wharf and take up their quarters at the
new Pacifc-street structure. The latter is
one of the finest and most complete docks
in the world, and is valuable addition to
the commerce of the port. The new Japa.
nese line is coming here, and the chances
are that Folsom-street wharf will be re-
built for its accommodation.

Charles Mayors in a short speech said
that the gathering was for the purpose of
get5lng better acquainted and to devise
ways and means TO secure and preserve
good Government. ITO this end" said
he, '1et us do all in our power to elect
William Mckinley and Garret Hobart and
to return to Congress the Hon. Eugene +.
Loud" He added that next week there
will be mass-meeting in the district,
which will be in the nature of a reception
TO Congressman Loud. He then offered
the following resolution, which was
adopted with cheers:
WHEREAS, The Hon. Eugene F. Loud, having
been unanimously nominated by the Fifth
Congressional Convention, we, the voters OF
the Thirty-fourth Assembly District, duly con-
vened this Wednesday evening, August 5.

Free Town Library.

Free Town Library. pe a
At the town meeting Tuesday, there was
a vote appropriating one hundred dollars
for the town library, and this action as
sures us another hundred dollars from the
state treasury for the purchase of books.
The unanimity OF the vote showed the
voters appreciation of such an institution
as free public library. Such library is
what the town ought to have, not only for
the use and pleasure of the adult popula-
ton, but for the benefit of the rising gem
Grafton,
With this beginning it ought not to be
difficult, and certainly is possible, TO have
in few years library that will be cred
it to the town and source of constant
and increasing value to good citizenship.
III the present Ladies' library could be
merged into this public Library, ii would
not be less but more useful than now, and
would at once place the new enterprise on
a respectable footing
We may reasonably hope, also, for gifts
OF books from generous friends, and per-
haps some now unknown person will in
the future immortalize his name by pre-
senting the town with fine library build
ing.
AT present, it is desirable that some suit
able room should be procured in the BUSH
ness portion of the village, and the library
should be open during part, at least, of
every day.
