PECULIAR P0lSONS
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN
BODY.
The Result OF Imperfect Digestion
of Food,

The Result OF Imperfect Digestion
of Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal con-
tains within itself the germs of certain de-
cay aud death.
In the human body these germs of disease
ana death tcalled by scientists Ptomainest,
are usually the result of imperfect digestion
of food; the result of Indigestion or dys-
pepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food. The result is a heavy, sodden mass
which fernents (the first process of decay)
poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak,
and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning
the brain causing headaches and pain in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irritatcs the heart, causing
paIpitation and finally bringing on disease
of This very important organ.
Poor digestion posons the kidne Us, cauS-
ing Bright'S disease and diabetes
And this is so because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal, and weak diges-
tion shows itself not only in loss of appetite
and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy
complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley said
the best start in life is sound stoIn ach
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity of
digestive acids tlactic and hydrochIoTicI
and peptogenic products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of indigestion, is to take
after each meal, one or two OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply in
pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancero of the stomach

RAIDER Is PRESIDEN T.

Congregational Monday Club Honors
the Pastor of the Third Church
The Congregational Monday Club set it's
seal of appreciation on Rev. William Ra-
der yesterday by electing him president of
that club. Whether there was any dis
cussion over the election outsiders were
not informed, for it has become the rule
with the Climb lately to hold its meetings
with closed doors and jealously KEEP
secret everything but routine business. 1t
is understood, however, that large ma
jority of the pastors in the club are
strongly in favor of supporting Rev. Mr.
RAIDER against any structures that may be
passed upon his orthodoxy by Christian
Endeavorers in the East
The subject of DR.. RAIDERS orthodoxy or
otherwise was not formally discussed at
any of the other Monday ministerial
meetings, but it was spoken of great
deal among the ministers in the course OF
conversation. Rev. F. Farrand, in the
course of some remarks on the subject,
said:
THE matter is to be deplored, for a
mum Der of Eastern religious papers are
advising Christian Endeavorers not to
come to the California convention on &C
count of Mr.. RAIDER unorthodoxy coupled
with his prominent connection with the

ment at the meeting yesterday proposed
that the interest income shall be applied
to the payment of death benefits and
other expenses, and that the assessments
of members shall be accordingly reduced.
A long and interesting debate followed,
but the proposition was lost by vote of
326 against and $50 in favor of it. 1t is be.
iieved that the suggestion will be submits
ted by the directors at the next meeting,
and many who voted against it this time
owing to it having been proposed without
previous notice will vote for it then. The
older and conservative members are op-
posed to any change. They claim that
many of the members are now getting
along in years; that the drain will event.

now being paid in by members will be
necessary to keep the association in

FIFTEEN HUNDRED GAIN
The Estimated Increase in the

Children.
School Directors Now in Accord With
Superin endent Webster and the
C4nsus League.

Superintendent of Schools Webster esti-
mates, from a careful study of the work
of the school census takers Just COM
pleted, that the census will show an in
crease of school children OF 1900 over last
year.
The work of checking up the figures of
the canvassers is yet in progress and Will
not be finished for several days but the
increase will vary very little from the es-
inmates made by Mr.. Webster.
The Board OF Education has come to the
Superintendents idea regarding the Ie-
gality of the census and has taken such
steps as will place the matter beyond
question.
Two OF the directors called on Mr.. Web
ster yesterday and stated that legal advice
had been taken, and the result had been
an opinion from the attorney that the
Superintendent position was correct;
that in order TO make the census legal the
census-takers must file their oaths of Of
fee with the Superintendent and be ap-
proved by MIN. This was one of the legal
forms insisted on by Mr.. Webster before
he. would consent to approve the result of
the canvass. Without this approval the
canvass would be useless.
: To straighten the whole matter out the
board admitted that Secretary WEIGH was
a member of the superintendent staff.
As T. oauhs of Office were filed with Mr..
WEIGH the admission mentioned settles
the complication that threatened to make
trouble oil around.
Mr.. Webster says that the census has
been taken with unusual care and that il
will be, wheE finished, the most correct
and thorough canvass that has been made
in years.
In many cases where school children re-
ported that census takers had not visited
their homes it was found that they were

Over 1000 people witnessed the game,

Krug pitched an excellent game for
the Alerts. He had fifteen strike-outs to
his credit, which is record twirling.
Raymond's delivery was all that could
be desired. The Alerts were only able to
get five hits off him, and he showed rare
judgment in playing his position.
One of the features was grand-stand

GOLDBERG IS MISSING,

tions Last Steamer
Day.
Several Hay Firms Anxious Over His
Sudden Leave Taking While
in Their Debt.

The sudden disappearance of David
Goldberg, young business man who had
conducted hay and grain store at 81
Seventh street, has been the cause of a
subdued wonder to those who had known
him.
Goldberg had been in the employ OF
Barg & Kleen at 526 Seventh street until
the 1st of last October, when he left their
service and joined his father, Max Gold
berg, in feedstore at the number men,
toned.
About six months ago the firm of Gold
berg failed and a compromise with the
creditors was made, after which the son
conducted the business in his own name,
ealing with such firms as his former en-
ployers, Anspacher & Bros, Scott d Nc
Cord, w. W. Chase & Co. and G. S. Healey.
Those firms gave the young man credit to
limited extent, not over $500 in any one
instance.
Last Wednesday young Gold berg started
out to make collections from his custom
ers, with the understanding-so far as he
creditors know-of calling on them during
the day and liquidating his indebted
ness. But, to Their disappointment, he
failed to find their offices up to yesterday
afternoon.
Since he made his collections on
Wednesday he has not been seen by any
one who knows him. At first 1t was
thought he had met with foul play and
might have been robbed of his collec-
tons. But this fear has been dispelled by
the attitude of his parents over his failure
to return. No call has been made upon
the police, and, as far as is known, his
father has lost no nights rest searching
for him.
Before his departure, however, it is IN
derstood he assigned the greater portion
of his worldly goods over to his mother.
If this be the case the creditors will have
nothing to levy upon TO secure them.

FINNEGAN ENJOYS
COMFORT IN JAIL
Occupies the Women's
Cell in the Marin
Prison.
Sheriff Harrison Questioned
as to FaVoritism Shown
His Guest.
Centanopt Proceedings Against the
MIlIionairo's Jailsr Again
Continued.

FAN RAFAEL, CAL, May 3.-Colonel
Peter A. Finnegan, the wealthy prisoner In
Mann County Jail, occupies the women's
cell In the prison. So said Sheriff henry
Harrison this afternoon from the witness
stand In the Superior Court, when he was
being examined on an order to show cause
why he should not DO adjudged guilty of
contempt for comforting upon Millionaire
Fnnegan too manyfavoIs since the lattsr's
confinement in the county Jail for refusing
to comply with Judge Angelotti's orders
to pay $3.50 as alimony to his wife, who is
suing him for divorce.
Sheriff Harrison filed an affidavit this
morning, In which he denied all the allie
cations made by T. J. Crowley, attorney
for Mrs. Finnegan. Crowley had alleged
that Finnegan was not confined in the all
proper, but occupied q room in the base
ment of the courthouse, furnished by
HIMSELF that Fnnegan was notlocked up,
and was free to go where he pleased.
On the witness-stand this afternoon
the attorney asked the Sheriff if it was
not a fact that Finnegan was occupying a
room In the basement of the courthouse.
The Sheriff denied this, but stated that
OSSAN

Finnegan, mine-owner and horseman, IS
occupying the "Iadies cell. The Sheriff
stated that Finnegan was locked in the
prison cell, but that any person who
knew the ropes" could draw the bolt and
walk into the coIonePS present home at
any time.
Judge Angelotti said that the manner in
which Sheriff Harrison had kept Colonel
Ftnnegan in his custody was hardly COM
pIiance with the order of commitment.
Sheriff Harrison had said that he con-
sidered the millionaire in the county jail
at any time since he had been in his Gus

when other testimony will be introduced

examined as to the freedom the million
aire enjoyed while in his custody, and
other witnesses will be produced to show
that Finnegan had too much of good
time.
: Colonel Finnegan has made a lengthy
stay in his prison quarters. He has occu-

In a few days every gaIlery-boy in

paniment OF selections from eel CAPTAIN"
the comic opera by Charles Klein and
Sousa, which the De Wolf Hopper Com
pany produced last night at the Baldwin
Theater.
There was a packed and fashionable
audience to greet the big comedian, his
dainty little wife and their new operetta,
and all three came in for deserved share
of the honors. The opera is just the sort
that hits the popular taste ON the most
casual acquaintance, the action and fun
are original and never flag, the music is
bright and catchy, the staging is posi-
lively brilliant, and last but not least, De
Wolf Hopper and Edna Wallace Hopper
have parts that suit them admirably.
In his makeup De Wolf Hopper has
evidently taken a wrinkle from the pict.
ures of Don Qui1ote and it is easy to be-
lieve that the Ii bre ;tisl had the Knight OF
the Rueful Countenance also in his mind
when he imagined the character of Ell
Captain, for that worthy is sort OF comic
edition of Don Quixote.
The story, which adapts itself we'll to
picturesque staging, is supposed to pass
in Peru during the sixteenth century.
The recently appointed Viceroy, in con-
slant dread of assassination, hides himself
from his new subjects, who rise in rebel
lion and capture his palace. The Vice
roy solves the immediate difficulty by
posing as "El Captain" famous leader
of the rebels but terrible complications
ensue, for the Viceroy Is very much mar
red, and Estreida. the daughter of the
re bel Viceroy, falls in love with him and
tries to lead the reluctant Ell Captain to
the altar, in the very teeth of his own
wife, who does not dare to declare his
identity.
large part of the plot consists of 81
Captains narrowing experiences among
the re bells. De Wolf Hopper enters heart
and soul into the comic agony OF the situ-
atoms, which are made more absurd by
his assumed valor and his ridiculously
uncouth appearance.
Edna Wallace Hopper, graceful and
sprghtly as ever, makes a fascinating
Estrelda, and the guieless way in which
she thrusts her unsought love upon Ell
Captain adds hugely to the fun of the
performance.
The music that Sousa has written round
this sparkling libretto is all that one would
expect OF the march king. 1t is catchy
and tuneful, makes one think of the park
on Sunday, and in it's most melodious
moments almost smells of fresh roasted
peanuts and popcorn.
