PEPPER is CAYENNED
THE LOS ANGELES DOCTOR IS
NATURALLY HOT
His Second Expedition Was Wild
Goose Chase and Kapus Fooled
Him Once More

DR.. C. T. Pepper, who went to San
Francisco several days ago for the pur-
pose of prosecuting the action to recover
$13, 900 from Dr. George Graybill and the
attachment issued against the latter as
a result of the suit, will return home to-
day without having done as he intended.
Instead he has caused the action to BE-
dismissed, 1t having been discovered that
the suit was filed against the wrong man.
The circumstances which led to the filing
of the action are familiar to those who
know Of the recent experience by num-
ber of well-known citizens with the lat
lamented John w. Kapus. That young
man was made a party to DR.. Peppers
suit, but as he possesses nothing upon
which an execution could be issued and
also as he has gone to Chicago, the part
of the action which referred to him was
of no force a any time.
When Kapus was engaged in selling
his claims against the Pacific Coast
Steamship company, which were after
ward discovered to be worthless, he in
duced man who repre- sented himself
to be S. G. Vincent to go to prospective
purchasers and assure them of the safety
and regularity of their investment. Sew
eral of the persons whom Kapus victim
lied combined to make an investiga ton
and as a result DR.. Pepper went to San
Francisco some weeks ago, when he
thought he found sufficient evidence
that Vincent and DR.. Graybill We're one
and the same person to justify him in
filing suit against him.
Now Dr. Pepper has discovered that he
sued the wrong man and that DR.. Gray
bill had had nothing whatever to do with
the deal by which Kapus and the still
missing Vincent are. said,to have cleared
something fike $4,000 After his arrival
at San Francisco DR.. Pepper met Dr..
Graybill by appointment made by several
friends Of the latter and as soon as he
saw him DR.. Pepper admitted that he
had sued the wrong man, and that Gray
bill was not Vincent. There was nothing
to do but dismiss the suit, and this has
been done.
,Kapus' victims might now consider the
advisability of foregoing the pursuit of
rhamtoms. This will be the more aggra-
WAITING as for reasons best known to them
selves they have permitted the really
guilty person to slip through their hands
Perhaps Johnny Kapus knew too much
Certainly this beardless youth has fooled
a number of substantial and reputably
shrewd citizens. 1t is now believe e. that
there never was any such person as Vim
cent except in the recesses of Kapus'
fertile imagination. 1t is more than
probable that this astute young swindler
hired someone for a consideration to visit
the sagacious investors and under the
guise of S. c. Vincent give them fill of
assurance.

Theosophical Lecture

The subject of the morning lecture at
Blavatsky hall yesterday was "The Day
of Judgment" H. A. Gibson, the speak
id in .part..
A very narrow view Of time, the uni
verse and man has led many to suppose
that all are to appear before a personal
judge who would fix their fate for all
the future.
The judgment day is every day MANS
life the outcome of his former living is. -
At the center of everything is justice
and harmony; this makes for righteous
ness All our pain and sorrow is effort
at readjustment toward the require
ments Of law and harmony. We have
discovered many laws in material ma
ture. and find that obedience brings re-
ward Of success; we also find we can
succeed in the affairs Of the soul by a
similar obedience to the laws of growth
knowledge and wisdom produces happi-
ness and peace, now and hereafter.

A SALOON BURNED
The Loss on the Building and Contents
Amounts to $500

A saloon and restaurant belonging to
Charles Timm and located at 1913 San
Fernando street, was burned out last
night. The walls Of the building were
left standing although the interior was
gutted by the flames. Probably $500
will cover the loss. OF this amount $500
is represented by Timm's stock in trade,
fully insured. The building was owned
by Edward Huber and there was no in
surance held upon it,
The origin Of the fire is unknown.
Timm and his wife were in the restaur-
ant when they saw smoke issuing from
the barroom. An alarm was turned in
from box 23 and two companies of fire
apparatus answered the call. The dis
trict is thickly built up with frame
structures and considerable work was
necessary to prevent the flames from
spreading. The fire lasted about an
hour.

Gospel Service

The Sunday afternoon gospel service
at the Young Women's Christian asso-
ciation was conducted by Mrs. Averill,
the subject being christian Armor. !"
The thought of thorough allegiance to
truth and righteousness was forcefully
presented.
In the preservation of loyalty to right,
conflicts are Inevitable; but we are
giyer. various kinds of armor If we will
only use them. The Importance of faith,
prayer ard the use of the word of God
in obtaining the mastery over evil were
each emphasized in turn. The COM
mitting of passa ges of Scripture to men,
ory was strongly recommended.

AT THE THEATERS

ORPHEUM-In addition to the usual
varied program offered this week, the
management will this evening treat it's
patrons to a musical number played by
the famous Knaben Kapelle boy band
on the stage of the San Francisco Orph-
cum, and transmitted by long distance
telephone service.
This famous band of 40 boy musicians
was recently brought by Mr.. Gustav
Walter from Budapesth, Hungary This
appearance here having been delayed by
their success in San Francisco,
arrangements have been made with the
Sunset Telephone company for the ex-
elusive use of their line in order that
the patrons of the Los Angeles house
may enjoy the bands performance si-
multaneously with the audience in San
Francisco. This experiment is on a
larger scale than ever before attempted,
and is a fair sample of the business en-
terprise of the management.

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES

The uniform board has at last assem-
bled and are dealing with the question
Of furnishing the entire N. G. C. with
new uniforms. Brigadier-General ]. H
Dickinson. Col. J. F. Smith and Lieut..
Col. Platt are the members of the
board. The new uniforms are now ex-
pected to be issued about January /.
The strength of the N. G. c. at the
beginning Of the last half Of the year,
according to official advices, was:
Commander in chief and staff .. 25
Division staff ...... ...... ........ II
Three brigade staffs...... ......... AZ
Three signal corps ...................1 .104
Four cavalry troops ....... ....... 1852
Naval battalion .......... ......... .31S
First regiment Of infantry. ........S $40
Second regiment of infantry. ...... 542
Fifth regiment of infantry ...... .519
Sixth regiment Of infantry ......... ..512
Seventh regiment of infantry ...... .7S9
A total strength of four thousand and
thirty men, not counting cadet COM
pany attached to the First infantry
sixty strong, which brings the total up
to four thousand and ninety men.
There has been no advancement Of the
proposed forming Of drum and bugle
corps. 1t is quite probable that at the
may be taken to change the law so that
'one may be formed as an adjunct TO
the band.
Next week the shoot for the state dec
orations will be held. The rules gov
erning these shoots have been changed
so as to give variation to the position.
The rules now provide for five rounds
at 200 yards standing, five rounds at 300
yards sitting or kneelir,g, and five rounds
at 500 yards lying down. These con-
ditions give a possible seventy five, as
all the bullseyes now count five points.
The order in which the Los Angeles
companies will shoot has been decided
on. Company F will shoot on the 9th
inst, Company G on the 2Sth inst, Com
pany c on the 29th inst. The range will
be open from dawn till sunset 1t is
advisable to shoot as early as possible
and thus avoid the wind.
The committse having the securing of
a new range in hand has not yet de-
cided on location but will do so some
time this week.
The armory board inspected the new
ALREADY been awarded. The Signal
corps will occupy the tower room, over
which there has been considerable con-
troversy, and they will use the tower
for signaling purposes.
Company gave a very enjoyable
musicale and dance in their parlor on
Thursday last. The rooms were very
prettily decorated with flowers and mil
itary accouterments. The musical pro-
gram was made up of both instrumental
and vocal efforts. Those taking part
were Mesdames Cardell, Neitzke and
Tomlinson, and Messrs. Baldwin, Dunn,
Porter, Winn, Smelzer and Shade.
A typographical error in this COLUMN
last week made it appear that Company
f has a platoon at Compton, whereas
it is Company c to which the platoon
is attached

ENGLISH LUTHERAN CHURCH
Rev. J. w. Ball on Overcoming the
Flesh

In discoursing yesterday on the theme
overcoming the Flesh from the text
Gal. SIG, Rev. j. w. Ball said in part:
How frequently and in what various
ways we are reminded that human ma
ture is after all very much the same in
all lands and in all ages. We decipher
the clay Inscriptions Of extinct empires
and read their tale of cruelty and blood
shed. and it was the same struggle that
is going on in this age, softened indeed,
by the influence of Christianity, but not
entirely subdued.
The question has been raised whether
Christianity is really adapted to all
kinds of characters in every kind of age.
1t Is profitable to reflect how far that
question went toward its settlement even
in the dawn of the Christian era. The.
Galatians, for instance, men who were
fighting the everlasting human struggle,
trying to be self-controlled ra ther than
self-indulgent, with Paul for their friend
and helper.
What did st. Paul mean by "the flesh p"
He did not mean merely the soft SUBJ.
stance Of the human body, but something
more. For he placed flesh" in contrast

chat but finding the keepers replies were
short and reserved, he said: II sup
pose. Grant, you think a bishop ought
not to go out shotting?" "Weel, my
lord" said the Scot frankly, Il doubt
yell find no warrant for it in the screep-
tur. Did you ever read of the apostles
going out shooting?" mo! true" re-
piled the bishop, "they had no game in
