At the inquest held on the body of Louie
John Chip, the Chinaman killed in Sepul-

turning a verdict failed to state that the
occurrence was the result of an accident or
not. In order to make the record clear it
was therefore necessary to arrest Mallie

girl with murder, and Under Sheriff Gle

POKER NOT A "DEVICE"

Elwood Collins, who was arrested and

bricks of $l75, by trick and device, in a
saloon at the corner of First and Alameda
streets, is free man.
Attorney Appel n arguing the matter, in
habeas corpus proceedings, a few days

although the defendant had been charged
with having defrauded the complaining
witness out of some money by "trick and
device,' no such trick or device, as alleged,
had been described or set forth in the COM

together with the nerves. During the wax
ing hours the nervous system works inces-
sanity. Poor sleep means poor nervous
condition, and prolonged insomnia leads in
every case to prostration, and too often to
dread insanity. The mischief that results
from weakened nerves is much greater
and more destructive than most folks even
dream of.
The alt-important thing for nervous, rum
down persons, and for those who are losing
sleep is that Paine's celery compound
builds up the whole physical system, and
by improving the digestion and regulating
the nerves it insures sound, refreshing
sleep.
In winter most women and many men
lead hothouse lives. A tagging appetite, a
disposition to pick at this dish and that,
rather than to eat q square meal, is among
the early indications of failing health.
Then comes delay in falling asleep and the
fretful, uneasy feeling the next day.
Deliverance from such a miserable con-

preme Court Decisions
HE HEADWATERS CASE

The Lowry jury. as prognosticated by
The HERALD, agreed to disagree, and last
evening, shortly before s o'clock, Judge
Smith discharged them from any further
consideration OF the case.
Yesterday morning it was currently re-
ported thai the jury, after being out all
night, was hopelessly divided. At 10
o'clock the Jurors were summoned into
court and interrogated by Judge Smith as
to whether they were divided on points of
law or of fact. The foreman explained
that it was with regard to the facts in the
case. but ventured the opinion to the sur
prise of all present, by saying that he
thought that in short time the jury would
come to an agreement and return a verdict.
At that time the last ballot taken showed
that the jury stood eleven for conviction to
one for acquittal.
Upon retiring to the seclusion of the jury
room nothing more was heard from that
body until shortly after o'clock. The
Jurors filed into court and when seated the
foreman explained to Judge Smith that it
seemed perfectly hopeless TO consider the
matter further. They could not agree as
to certain facts and canvass the matter as
they might they could get no nearer to a
decision.
On this representation Judge Smith dis
charged the jury.
The one obdurate juror had hung the
decision.
Mr.. Vandam was the juror who held out
against his eleven companions and last
night several of the jurors were pointed in
their remarks regarding his behavior. 1t
was boldly asserted that he was an old
friend of the defendant, Frank Lowry, and
simply held out on that ground, and with
out advancing any good or valid reason for
taking the attitIlrp he did.
Be that as it may, the fact remains that
the jury has been discharged. What will
be the next move on the part'of the prose-
cution? 1t was whispered, yesterday, that
in the event of a new trial, additional evil
dence would be added, and the financial
affairs of the county clerks office gone
into at greater length if new trial was
held. This is what the defense desires. SO
they claim, and in such case they also will
have evidence additional to what they
either wanted or were permitted to intro
duce during the trial just closed.
The outsider, devoid of all knowledge of
legal lore, put down the failure of the jury
to connect to luck-pure. unadulterated
luck-for the trial was instituted on a

fulness for tn grand invigorator. PEOPLE
enjoying perfect health sometimes wonder
at this gratitude; but whoever has suffered
from pros ration of the nerves, of which
insomnia is one of the symptoms, will
understand how hard it is to overstate the
torment of this condition And whoever
has been made completely we'll by Paine's
celery compound feels that no words can
overstate the joy and gratitude such per-

This is the state of mind of thousands of

have used Paines celery compound and
been made we'll.
Mrs. Sample tells of the happy result in
the case of her grandchild. One of the most
conspicuous instances of the remarkable

IHTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys

forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated 'ondi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Will Fix lthc Boundary.

Washington, May 1,-Another com pliment to the impartiality of the Unit led States has been paid by the govern ments of Costa Rica and Nicaragua in a convention for the demareation of the boundary line between those repub- lies which have been negotiated through the mediation of the president of Salvador. The first article binds each of the two republics to appoint an engineering commission to mark the boundary in accordance with the treaty of 1858, as interpreted by President Cleveland as arbitrator, and provides that the president of the United States shall be requested to appoint an en- gineer to accompany the survey, whose decision shall be final In any dispute that may arise between the two coop erating commissions.
 As soon as the convention is ratified by the legislatures of the two countries, which will share the expense and sal- ary of the American engineer, the work of marking the line from the Atlantic to the Pacific is to commence. It is to be completed within twenty months.
 Although the line is fully described by President Cleveland's arbitration, the relations between Costa Rica and Nicaragua have been for long time strained by the failures to agree upon it's exact location at certain points. The two governments. however, now believe they have found an easy solution to their differences by deferring to the judgment of an appointee of the preSi- dent of the United States, and friend ly relations have resumed. This ques- tion, once settled, will have an import ant bearing upon the proposed Nicara- qua canal by fixing the undisputed ownership of the territory through which it must be constructed.

Two Yonthfnl Hichwaymen.

New York, May 1.-William Lewis, a small boy of fourteen years, who was once before arrested on charge of bur glary, was prisoner before Magistrate Mott in the Jefferson Market police court this morning, charged with com hitting highway robbery. The com plainant was Frenchman named Bla- zile Duboni, who is to sail tomorrow for his native land
 He was walking through King street yesterday afternoon when two small boys confronted him. One struck him a Nblow which he says dazed him and caused him to fall to the pavement. The other lad, he said, grabbed his watch, valued at s125, and ran off with it. His chain, valued at $60, was brok- en in the effort to get his watch.
 The Frenchman shouted for help and Policeman Corcoran of the Macdougal street station responded. He saw the two youthful highwaymen escaping and gave chase. He followed them into hallway on King street and upstairs to the roof. They crossed over several roofs and finally descended into anotn- CT building. The Lewis lad was the last to disappear and the policeman captured him on the top stairway. The other lad escaped
 Duboni identified the Lewis boy as the one who struck him. The young prisoner told last night who his confed- crate was and the police are now look ing for him. MT. Duboni said he had S200 in his vest pocket which the young highwaymen failed to get.
 The Lewis boys mother is widow, and a respectable woman She has five other children to provide for. She told the magistrate that she was una ble to do anything with William, and asked that he be sent to some institu-o tion. He was arrested three months ago for burglary but sentence was suspended in his case. His mother lives at 355 Hudson street
 Magistrate Mott remanded him in the care of Agent Barkley of the Gerry so- ciety.

But Few Jewels Missing.

London, May William Turner and William R. Dunlop, the Burden dia- mond robbers, were again arraigned in the Bow street police court this morn ing. MT. and Mrs. Isaac T. Burden of New York were present and identified the jewelry found upon the persons and in the lodgings of the prisoners as their property, and also recognized the pris- oners as having been in their employ as servants. The prisoners were un- moved throughout the examination, re- maining stolidly indifferent to the pro- ceedings.
 Mir Burden told a representative of the United Press that he believed the jewelry stolen from his house by Tur- ner and Dunlop to be intact with the exception that few small diamonds which were missing from their set tings. The prisoners were remanded for one week pending the procurement of the necessary documents.

Whitelaw Reid on Politics.

San Francisco, May 1.-Whitelaw Reid arrived here yesterday and went at once to Millbrae where he will re- main for a month.
 Like all of us,'' said MT. Reid, "Mc- Kinley is opposed to free silver and in favor of international bimetallism. Like all of us he hopes to see interna- tional bimetallism become a practical reality He has represented his party when the party wanted free silver, and he has stood with his party when other ideas prevailed to govern good policy. But his speciality has been the tariff, not money. It is with the tariff that Mckinley has identified his name and with which his most effective energies have been associated"
 The tariff and sound money, protec- ton and that opposition to free coinage which involves hope of realizing in- ternational bimetallism, are the great issues of the campaign in the opinion of MT. Reid. They are the principles of the republican party, he says.

A Youthful ffirhwayrnnn.

New York, May LA hold-up was reported in Jeresy City this morning, with boy hardly seventeen years old figuring as the robber.
 The victim was George Miller, cap tain of a canal boat Miller, late last night, called at Crowley's saloon. at Barrow and Grand streets. He was in troduced to- John Began of 16 Golden street Miller had several drinks, and walked to Is Golden street with Began with the intention of spending the evening in the latter's house.
 As soon as Miller reached the alley way which led to Regans home he was set upon by a boy of the name of Henry Harris. Harris forced Miller to hold up both hands while he went through his pockets and took their contents. After relieving him of his cash the youngster dealt the captain several viz orous blows on the head and threw him out of the alley
 Miller was only partly conscious when Policeman Lurvey found him lying in the street at 3 o'clock this morning Miller acted as though dazed. It took some time for him to realize his pre- dicament. ss.
 Before daybreak the police arrested the boy Harris and Regan, who en- ticed the captain to the scene of the "hold up'' Police Justice Potts this morning held both for trial. The cap- tain identified them partially. The police believe that Began purposely lured the captain to the house on Col den street with the intention of letting the boy rob him.

Weak, pale, thin blood can- not give proper sustenance - that is why you are nervous, tired, exhausted. The cure for this condition is to purify, vitalize and enrich your blood. Take Hoods Sarsaparilla fairly and faithfully, and the rich, red blood, which it makes, will soon feed the nerves the elements of true strength they require; they will cease their agi- tation and will resume their proper place - being under the control in- stead of controlling the brain and body.
