The last topic treated in the message
is the civil service, which, the Presi
dent says, has Of late years received
increased legislative and executive ap-
proval. During the past few months
the service his been placed upon a still
hrmer basis of personal merit. The
right OF veteran soldiers to re instate
ment has been asserted, dismissals for
polltlcal reasons have been carefully
guarded against, the examinations inn
proved and made more practical and
a distinct advance has been made b1
giving a hearing, before dismissal
upon charges Of incompetcy. This last
has in no way impaired tie power of

Big Millinery Saving.

The Red House Company had before
they went into the receivers hands or
dered large invoices of millinery from
the East. The goods are now arriving.
We have received some 20 cases of
hats ribbons, ostrich tips, plumes, etc,
and among the latest styles in hats are
the Montana, Cuba, Dawson, Nevada
and other styles of walking hats (cow
boy)-all fancy bands and brims; also
a large variety in silk bands-they come
in all the late colors, including the new
shades of green and blue, also the new
turbans in French fur, Arcadia, Thiebe
and the Marlowe. Also in wide brim
dress hats in fur-the Boulevard and
Beldemere. These fine hats we propose
to give the ladies a big bargain, and
will be placed on sale at and below cost,
which means saving (made) of from
% to 30 per cent. on each 81 purchas-
ed, and you should take it into con-
sideration that if other stores come
near our prices you should give us the
benefit, as we will be the cause of their
lowering their prices. Watch and see
if we are right. J. W. Lindner, pro-
prietor of the assignee's stock of the

500 for just such an instrument, al
though we sold this style of piano for

conceded by the neighbors that moth
ing had been left the Nixon girls. Vim
ME Nixon telegraphed to him. asking if
she SHOULD come to Sacramento, and he
answered it, advising her to wait. Mrs.
Hadwick had consulted often with the
witness about the disposition of her
property. She wanted her brother to
have everything. Beyond that he could
not remember anything she said.
c. F. Dillman, cashier of the Mills
Bank, testified that Mrs Hadwick ex-
pressed desire to have the two certifi-
Gates of deposit handed over to her
brother. She indorsed them by her
mark. The witness went to Mrs. Had
wick's house with Mr.. Casey. The lat
ter asked her what it was she wanted
done. She replied that she wanted the
two certificates turned over to her
brother, then in Canada She then told
Mr.. Casey that she owed him S204 for
money he had expended for her. She
got the money and paid him.
Mr.. Dilman said he could not say
what became of the certificates after
Mrs. Hadwick signed them. She got
them from one of the rooms He did
not see the certificates again until after
her death They were in Mr. Casey's
possession. The latter remarked that
it was a shame that Mrs Hadwick had
left the girls nothing, and asked the
witness if he did not think the girls
should have some portion of the 81 900
on deposit. The witness replied that
he did not see how anything could be
done unless AIcMann saw fit to give the
girls something. The certificates were
transferred on the banks books to F.
McMann. 1t was his impression that
the certificates We're left with Mrs
HadWick when she signed them, but
this was only an impression.
The further hearing of the matter
was continued until Saturday.
