San Francisco and North Pacific Look
ing for New Valley Resort.
General Manager Henry c. Whiting OF
the San Francisco and North Pacific Rail-
road denies the latest report from So
noma that the company will soon begin
to construct sidetrack from Vineyard
station to the beautiful grounds of Buena
Vista. Mr.. Whiting said yesterday:
1--WE have not got that far with the mat
ter yet, and at present the company has
no such intentions. After we looked at
the Vallejo place it occurred to US to look
at Buena Vista. The grounds would be
very expensive to keep up and it would
cost about $4,000 to run spur track to the
place. Buena Vista would make superb
summer resort We should be very glad
to land passengers there if somebody
would take hold of the place and make
another Del Monte of it. In fact it is a
Del Monte now. The grounds have foun-
tains and flowers and are very handsome.
1--WE have been looking for new picnic
resort for some time. and we will have
decided on the place in few weeks, or
the whole matter will have been dropped
by that time"
The chateau at Buena Vista stands on a
mound and can be seen up and down the
valley for fifteen miles.

dred ways in which the defects might oc-
cur. For instance, something might come
in contact with the face of the type.
The form of March 16, 1894, Wade said,
was stereotyped for the first time to his
knowledge in the history of the legal
blank work in the house. The stereotype
was destroyed in August 1885, because it
was necessary to insert the words "to me-
in the old form of the blank. He thought
the plate had been used but once. The
key words Estate OF California" at the
top of the blank had been electrotype
many years ago for convenience sake.
There were number of these electro
types in the printing department. and it
was his opinion that they were used in
every form of blank.
George w. von Aim, com positor in
Crocker's printing department, was called
to testify that he had set up various
forms of notarial blanks. District Attor-
ney Hosmer had him identify the proofs
of the two forms in the 10000 order OF
January s, 1896. Prior to the issue of Au-
gust, 1895, Won Aim said the blanks were
printed from a stereotype. On that date
the stereotype was destroyed because the
new form required the insertion OF the
words ito me-"
"How long had you been using the
stereotype?" asked Attorney Reddy.
Not very long,"
"When did you first use it2"

TRAILING FALSE
FIRE ALARM|STS
Efforts Being Made to Catch
a Man on a BIZ
cycle.
He Has Been Causing the Fire
Department Considerable
Annoyance.
If Arrested and Convicted a Long
Term of Impriso Will Be
Imposed Upon Him.

The Fire Department has been put to
consi6 erabl expense and annoyance for
the past two or three months by turning
out to false alarms.
Saturday night false alarm was turned
in from box 147. Howard and Twentieth b
streets, which was followed about half an
hour later by false alarm from box 81,
Polk and McAllister streets. Sunday
night false alarm was turned in from box
"a, Mission and Steuart streets, and yes
terday morning there was another false
alarm from box 81, Hayes and Steine er
streets.
Every effort had been made by mem bers
of the epartment to find the man who
was turning in these false alarms, but
without success. Chief Sullivan became
exasperated and yesterday morning ad-
dressed letter to Chief of Police Crow
ley, asking the cooperation of the Police
D apartment in finding the man and put
ting stop to the persistent annoyance
and continued expense.
The Chief at once notified the captains
of the different divisions to see that every
officer was instructed to keep a SHARP
lookout for the man and to arrest him al
all hazards If discovered in the act OF turn.
ing in an alarm.
All the other members of the Police De-
partment were similarly instructed, and
the citizens are asked to assist the police
and firemen in their efforts to arrest the
man.
Within the past two months there has
been on an average one false alarm pei
day. Sometimes there would be three on
one night, and then there would be ces-
sation for night or two, when two OF
three more would follow.
Calculating the time between the alarm
has led to the conclusion that the man
rides on bicycle, and it is said that on
more than one occasion bicycle-rider
was seen hurrying away from the direc-
ton of the fire. alarm box few seconds
before the fre-whistles sounded. He has
evidently some swift means of locom otion,
and it is believed to be the bicycle.

destroyed, because it became necessary to
insert two words in the blank"
These were the famous words ITO me, !"
Wade informed Reddy. He thought only
one set of blanks had been run. off from
the stereotype that did not contain these
words.
Did you ever print blanks with these
words in previo1s TO I894?"
81 suppose we did,"
"Didn't You say here the other day that
in August, 1895. was the first time Crocker
e. Co. had printed these words?"
81 said that as far as knew this was
the case" was the testy answer. MY
records on this subject do not go back of
1894 I suppose that the house printed a
good many of these to me- forms before
that, as the law required the use of the
words l want to set the newspapers
right as far as l am concerned"
Wade then told how he had first come
to take an interest in the case. Manager
Crocker came to him about two months
ago and requested him 10 furnish copy
and proof of all the notarial blanks printed
by the house fer the past few years.
sDid you know what was the object OF
your search?'
"oh, yes; to produce evidence, be-
lieve."

mo. l think l did not know Mr..
Cooney then, but l suppose it was to pro-

to his seat after six hours tedious ques-
ioning.
Wade took his place for cross-examina- a.
ton the moment the case was called.
Cooney's attorneys presented him in turn
with the various exhibits as the copy
and proofs of notarial blanks printed by
Crocker since 1894 are legally termed, after
which the printing foreman was asked to
relate how he kept house.
"You have been superintendent OF II. S.
Crocker's printing department for twenty
five vears?"
Eyes, sir.
"And copy coming from the store goes
direct to your"

partment sends his copy direct to the man

"What becomes of the pToof?"
ut is sent to the proofreader for correc-
ton and returned to the composition who

"Does the composition put the forms in
the chaser"
"He sees that another man puts them
there This man, in turn, delivers the
Job to the pressman. AS soon as the job
is completed it is delivered to the packing
table. The type, in turn, finds its way
back to the man who locked up the form
and Is returned to the case.
Continuing, Wade described the duties
of proofreader and paper-cutter.
"How is proof taken in your otfice?'
Sometimes through press, sometimes
by means of hammer or mallet and a
| planer."
Sometimes mistakes escape the notice
of the proo!reader?'
"Very rarely"
"You do not look after each piece of
work individually 2"
"Well, no; not exactly. l keep good
men to see that the work is DONE"
| The examination drifted in detail to the
methods by which the house kept record
of the number of notariaI certificates, or
''blank No. 3d." printed. 1t was Gus
tomary for the compositor to enter the
number of blanks printed, the klno of

S. M. Shortridge appeared as attorney for
Frederick Marriott, charged with libel;ng
Judge Hebbard, and asked for a contin u
ance of the case on the ground that his
client was not well enough TO he present.
A certificate from Dr. Isaac Jones was
submitted to the effect that Mr.. Marriott
was suffering from the effects of surgical
operation and was compelled to remain at
home.
Judge Daingerfeld thought that the case
ought to proceed or that $24, the jury fees,
should be paid.
Mr.. Shortridge agreed to pay the per
diem at the next calling of the case il the
court at that time should insist on that
course OF procedure and the trial was post

A clipping from an Minneapolis pa
per containing lot of untruthful mat
ter about Stryker's examination ques'
tions has been going the rounds of re,
publican papers for some time. In it.
it is asserted that of 81 applicants
only six received certificates, and the
failures were due to the fact that
the questions were very hard
ones. The facts are that 81 persons
answered the questions. But ten of
these applied for certificates, the others
taking the examination for practice
purposes. But four who asked for
certificates failed. The physiology
questions are said to be the hardest
and the Stryker roast is based on them
largely. AS a matter of fact these

will be coming in and there will be
plenty of money in the general fund in
the state treasury. No other fund has
been exhausted. Probably by January
18th there will be upwards of $50, 900

Ex-Governor Eskridge Demands q New
Deal


The republican party, to win in the
next state election, must take an ag-
gressive position in it's platform in
favor of such measures as will protect
the people against unjust discrimina-
tion and extortions in the conduct of
their general business, of whatever
kind or character, whether by individ-
uals. companies or corporations. The
"ship of state' must be manned by
new men, free from taint and antago-
nism. The republican state conven-
tion must open the way for other re-
publicans, besides those who belong to
the Federal gang. The members of
the gang have had their day. They
have received their reward fu. ly
up to their deserts. But put the old
gang back and close the door on new
men, and the pops will have a walk
over. New men must have chance at
the pie counter, or there will be troub-
le in the ranks. The old barnacles
must be scraped off of the old s. lip and
the rats run out. We must present
first-class candidates, and the manage
ment of the campaign should be placed
in new hands. The Weylers of the
party must be recalled and given a
rest. The Federal office-holders
should attend strictly to the duties tha,
devolve upon them, and, in the even,
of republican success in the state. they
must be content with what they have
and leave the state patronage for clean.

Advice to Thin Woman.

II not lover of water, the thin wom-
an must cultivate taste for it. She
must drink water upon rising and as
often during the day and between
meals as possible. Cocoa, milk, and a
moderate amount of coffee are all
right. A light luncheon should he
eaten before retiring. Early to he'd
is all right, but the same rule does NOT
apply to rising unless madame feels
herself thoroughly refreshed by a good
sleep. Meat should occupy a second
ary place in the daily diet, but vegeta-
bles may be freely INDUCED in. Sweets
are decided fatteners. Warm baths
and sun baths will help along the work
in great style.

ty, was out here some time ago inquir
as to our destructive grasshoppers
Since returning to Lawrence the state
has caused to be published the resul,
of his Investigations and we will en-.
deavor to briefly give the results
The natural enemy of the hopper
a fly, was killing them by depositing
eggs in their backs, but it was toe
late too save this years crop.
Alfalfa is conducive to hoppers, the
soil is in good shape for eggs, the ten.
der alfalfa furnishes food till the hop
per is able to fly, SO alfalfa is likely to
be noted as the home of the hopper.
Disking, ground that is infested, in
the fall, leaving the eggs exposed to
rain, sun and frost will kill them.
Narrowing in the fall helps to kill
them, but probably the most success
full method of exterminating them is
with the kerosene pan. This is made
of stovepipe iron, by turning up the
sides and ends about four inches, SO
as to make a long, fiat pan about four
inches in depth. This then mounted
on runners of suitable height. On the
frame back of the pan is stretched a
cloth to keep the hoppers from jump
ing over it. The pan is then partially
filled with water and kerosene and
driven over the field, drawn by horses.
In this way bushels of hoppers may
be destroyed in day at very little
expense.
