The Burlington's New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the 1st of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnif-
Gently equipped as any in the
country-that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
smoking-librarycar, palace sleep
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
cars. The buffet-smoking- library
car is something new for a Denver
Chicago line. 1t is veritable
clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely carpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, lavatory, writing-desk.
a compartment for card-players,
and well-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and news
papers are on file, and carefully
selected library is provided for the
free use Of passengers. The sleep
ing car is a gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are in every way
worthy Of the train of which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through to Omaha
and Chicago in marvellouay quick
time. Leaving Denver at $50.

morrow afternoon, there making
close connections with trains for
all points east. The running time
from Denver to Chicago is only
twenty-seven and three-quarter
hours. Just how fast that is will
be best understood when it is
stated that it is almost five hours
faster than the fastest schedule
in effect prior to February s, 1898.

The request of the retail clerks
association published today in our

worthy of recognition. Twelve
hours work a day is as much as

ploye. We, should like to see the
weekly half holiday instituted

closing. But, in the name of
neighborly consideration and
human kindness, let us all do our

NOW THEY CAN'T FIND THEIR MAN The Police Had Smooth Crook, but Let Him Go
 Unchanged. w. A. Davis, Wanted for Passing Bogus Checks, Is Not to
 Be Found.

The police are now very anxious to find w. A. Davis, smooth crook and all- around confidence man. and if captured he won't be released as quickly as he was when landed in the tanks on the 1st inst. The charge against Davis this time Is that of passing worthless checks to con- siderable amount, and warrant is in the hands of Detective Dinan, who expects to be able to find his man. as he Is well known at his various haunts in the ten- derloin.
 Davis came here from Los Angeles the latter part of January and registered at the Lick under an assumed name. He Dietz at his saloon on Montgomery street, and Officer Rocker of the California street station took him in and placed his name in the detinue book. The officer then began to hunt up Davis record and found that he was we'll known to the sporting fraternity as "sure thing" and short card" gambler, and 1t was subse- quently learned that he had defrauded number of hotels, among them the Win sor of this city, but none Of the hotel keepers cared to prosecute him. While Davis was in the City Prison. where he was held for two days, the Sheriff of Mon terey County saw him and identified him as the Eastern tourist who had passed number of bogus checks while sojourning in that m part pal t of n the country The wife of tested his innocence of any wrong do- ing, though she admitted that she knew he was a gambler. Davis himself didn't deny the latter charge. but freely told of his work with the cards and dice, and gave a minute explanation of how he loaded dice and fixed" cards with the various tools found in his possession.
 Despite all the evidence tending 70 show that Davis was a pretty clever bunco man, for some reason known to the upper office he was released without having any charge placed against him, and hence he is not to be found when wanted.
 The police are reticent as to the number and amount of the checks passed by Da- wis, but one was passed on Billy Abbott. the saloon keeper on Grant avenue. This Is said to have been for $120 and drawn on the Hibernia Bank of this city. Abbott when seen last night acknowledged that he had been duped. but refused to give any information on the subject.

SHE MEANT BUSINESS. Lou Jones, Alias Gallagher, Fires
 Two Shots at Her Lover.

Lou Jones, alias Lou Gallagher, a young woman of the "tenderloin district" was arrested early yesterday morning by Policemen Cook and Bush and booked at the City Prison on a charge of assault to murder.
 Lou has been keeping company with William Gallagher, and about o'clock yesterday morning they quarreled in their room in the Eagle lodging-house, 50 Third street.
 Both had been drinking, and in her drunken fury Lou got possession of a re- volver and fired two shots at Gallagher. The first bullet went through Galagher's coat collar and made an abrasion on his neck. As she was firing the second he struck up her arm and the bullet buried itself in the ceiling.
 Cook and Bush heard the shots and, running into the house, placed Lou under arrest. Gallagher was taken to the Re ceiving Hospital more frightened than. hurt and Dr: Winterberg attended to the abrasion on his neck. It is doubtful if he will prosecute Lou, as he tried to make out that 1t was all a mistake.
 A short time ago Lou was arrested for grand larceny, but sne managed to beat the case. She declined to say anything about the shooting.

There was a brilliant gathering at the reception given Saturday afternoon by the wives and daughters of mem- bers of the Society of California Pio- neers at the hall of the association in Pioneer Building on Fourth street.
 The hall was beautifully decorated. The fragrant spring blossoms that fill ed every nook and corner seemed to carry out the striking contrast between the hoary pioneers and the fair young women-daughter and granddaughter who looked after the comfort of these men who made California's history, and assisted in receiving their guests.
 From everywhere the folds of Old Glory hung gracefully, either with car essing touch draping the picture of some prominent Californian or lending its inspiring touch to convert bare and awkward corner into thing of beauty. In the main reception-room the wives of ex-presidents and officers of the society received the guests.

The smell of escaping gas on the top floor of the Revere lodging-house at 675 Mission street led the bedmaker to ascer- tain the cause, which resulted In finding the dead body of an unknown lodger, with the gas jet turned fully on. The un- fortunate stranger had all the appearance of being one of the many tramps wh, ind their way into San Francisco to die His garments were of the poorest quality and were such as are worn by common laborers. His footwear was reduced to the merest semblance of what were at one time shoes An old straw hat light frock coat and a pair of cotton overalls constituted his wearing apparel. There was nothing on or about his clothing by which his identity could be ascertained. He seemed to. be about B years of age. and was of small stature, with blonde hair. His body was removed to the Morgue
