Found the Coin.

OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 3L-There was q
pecuuar burg larry discovered to-day at the
grocery-store of P. Gallagher, on Sixth
street. Gallagher has for years followed
the habit of keeping little sack of coin
in a hole in the floor. Last night he put
away his sack, containing about $50, and
when he went to the store to- day to look
at his treasure he found it was gone.
The outer door of his store had been
opened with skeleton key and the inner
door had been bored. There was a nickel
in-the-slot machine and also q cash
drawer, both containing money, but
nett er was touched and Gallagher has
given the police good idea OF the prob
able thief.

The Company and the Saloon Men Have
an Equal Right to Trans act

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco GALL
! .

sos Broadw4y, Jan. 81 I
The Federal Labor Union, which was
reorganized two weeks ago, objected to
the principle of the Grove-street lines in
asking its men to sign q pledge of total
abstinence from intoxicating liquors, and
to admit that they consider being seen
coming oul OF saloon as "a valid reason
for dismissal. - "
AT its NEE ting last night the following
REPORT from the committee often was read
and unanimously adopted:
It is an insult to employees to put up signs
asking the public to report any cases of incl
Witty, and suggests that carmen are moi able
to behave themselves unless -coerced into de-
cent behavior. man should be presumed to
be gentleman until he proves that he is not,
and then he should be dismissed. 1t is no
valid ca use for dismissal because man may
be seen leaving saloon. Such an idea is un-
American. The same City Council that gives
franchises 10 street. railroad. mpauies
granted licenses TO saloon-keepers, and the
lttter pay more for the privilege than the
street-rallroad companies. -.i-. =

It was moved and adopted that this
union heartily condemns the action of the
CITY council in the matter of the garbage

city, thus deprivlng some hard orking
men OF chance to make living" 1t
was stated that the crematory com pany.
through their franchise, are forcing scay-
engers to sell to them, and that the fran

But when physical weakness or disease il
added to a woman's burden it becomes al.
together too heavy. No woman can be
cheerful or hopeful who is dragged down
BY continual pain and physical wretch
edness.
The special weaknesses peculiar to the
feminine organism are comparatively easy
to overcome if the earlier symptoms are
given proper attention. But If allowed to
20 unchecked, they are liable to develop
into serious, chronic complications.
Any woman afflicted with these delicate
ailments ought to have the immediate aid
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t is
q perfect and unfailing specific for all dis
eases of the feminine organs. It was de-
vised for this one purpose, and accomp-
fishes this purpose as NO other medicine
has ever done.
For nearly 80 years Dr.. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y, where in conjunction with his staff
of associate specialists, he has successfully
treated many thousand cases of female
complaint"

FISH AND GAME. There is talk of a
movement for close time all the year
upon the country in which Katahdin
mountain is situated. This would prob
ably take in from two to three town
ships About Mt. Katahdin is the home
of the caribou, and it is in that section
where there has been a large slaughter of
game in the winter. 1t is said that in the
past winter men made u business of hunt
ing about the mountain to supply camps
with fresh meat. Moose and caribou
would be killed high on the mountain
sides, and then brought to place where
| they could be transported by men or
wagons One man, it is said, alone killed
twenty caribou. The section of country
about the mountain could be guarded at
small expense, and thus a breeding
place for large game would be secured.
This matter has already been talked about
by those who are the most interested in
the protection of game, and there is little
doubt that it will be brought before the
next Legislature. The Katahdin region is
one the best hunting sections of the
State. The lobster fishermen are com
planning of a lack of bait. They say that
the herring catch upon which they de-
penn Was almost Il failure CnlS Iall ana
while there is plenty of Holsters there is
nothing to be used as bait. Some of
them have taken their traps out of the
water and slowed them away on this ac-
count. James Coombs of Bucksport, re-
