4 SAILOR WITH
 A BAD VO0DOO He Luffed to StarbOard When He Should Have Rushed
 to Port.
All His Sails Tore Loose and Paint Pots Rained on Deck When
 He Went AIoft.

Stillman Stover, first mate of the American brigantine Harriet G, was placed on examination yesterday before United States Commissioner Heacock on two charges of beating and wounding sea- men on the high seas during the recent voyage of the Harriet c from New York to this port.
 The complainants were Albert Mattson and Ole Anderson Sellevold. Ole Ander- son told the Commissioner how Stover had knocked him down and kicked him. He produced Dr. Wise of the Marine Hos pital to testify that he was still suffer- ing from an injury.
 Albert Mattson was influenced by a voodoo during the voyage, if his story is to be believed. If he fastened a sail it was sure to become loose and flap de- fiantly in the gale, and when ordered to do something on the port side of the ship he invariably went to the starboard. It was his ill luck also that whenever he made a blunder of that kind Mate Stover was sure to be around and pro- fane.
 About February 23 this year Mattson reefed the jib, but he had no sooner left the job than the jib broke loose and fiuttered gaily in the breeze. The ship was tacking at the time, and the mate became angry and called him "a big Dutch fool.' He, gave Mattson another side of the ship, whereupon he was fol- lowed and thumped by the mate on the jaw and the back of the neck and was kicked two consecutive times. The mate in making another kick slipped and fell on the flat of his back and Mattson fell on top of him. Mattson would have died of fright if members of the crew had not lifted him to his feet again.
 On St. Patricks day the voodooed sailor made his worst blunder. He was aloft painting, and the pot of paint slipped from his hand and fell from the royal
 yard to the deck, striking within few feet of the mate and beSpattering his sou u'wester. Then, when Mattson came down to get the pot and scrape the deck, the mate struck him right handler in the left temple, knocking him senseless.
 Mattson denied that he had drawn his knife on the mate, but admitted that the mate took the knife away from him. Other witnesses corroborated the stories told by the two sailors.
 Stover flatly denied having struck or kicked Anderson or Mattson All that he would admit was that he might have showed them out of the way or sworn at them.
 The examination was continued until next Monday afternoon at o'clock at which hour the captain of the brigantine will give his testimony.
 Mattson filed libel yesterday against the brig for $69 60, the balance of wages claimed by him. He admits having de- serted the ship at this port, but says he was forced to leave by reason of the cruelty of Mate Slower.

A SETBACK IN
 WHEAT PRICES
Depression in Eastern Markets Is Repeated Out
 Here.
Brokers Are in a State of Nervous ness and Awaiting Foreign
 Action.

Wheat prices yesterday received a bad setback. Thursdays depressed feeling in Eastern markets was repeated in Euro pean markets yesterday morning Liver pool quoted wheat 2$4d lower (5A cents). The short interest, which had so much to do with the strong advance early in the week, was, as it turns out, pretty well liquidated above s1 S5. This left the market without sustaining power. There was very weak feeling in wheat from the start at the opening.
 December sold at $1 75. Offerings were more than the crowd could take care of, and the price dragged under this pres sure until S1 7324 was quoted. At this price new buyers appeared, and the mar ket firmed to $1 76k. About this time the Chicago market became depressed. The feeling was soon repeated here. Sellers became plenty, and the price again drop ped to S1 74s4, with few buyers. At the decline May was somewhat firmer, but transactions were small. Liquidation by outsiders appears well over in that option.
 The mornings trading closed with an undercurrent of weakness, which became very marked at the closing afternoon session. The session opened with Decem- Der selling at $1 7424. Heavy offerings by F.. A. Bresse started flood of selling or derS to appear, and within short time the price was QOWn 10 9l fZ14 when the market closed for the day. On the curb another spasm of weakness ap- peared. Cutter & Moseey's offerings sent December to $1 71s4, from where a rally to S1 727s took place. The rally was of short duration. The growing pressure soon dropped the price to $1 72ls. Sellers, again buyers, bid the market to $1 721a. The curb trading was large and of an cratic nature.
 Yesterdays decline came from an over bought condition of the market. The shorts squared up their contracts and left the bulls to their fate. When the latter tried to sell to take profits buyers were not easily found. Concessions were in order and had to be given. Yesterday s break has no doubt weeded out a great many of the eleventh-hour bulls, and the market is now in stronger hands and will probably soon harden again.
 Ocean rates were reported advancing from Sound ports to the United Kingdom and Continent. Exporters regretted that Thursdays offerings abroad had been re- fused yesterday morning. Foreigners have undoubtedly concluded to rest for the present.
 The market is in a state of extreme nervousness. Stronger foreign markets would cause a widely advancing market here Shorts are timid and run to cover quickly With indifferent markets abroad no doubt prices will work somewhat lower
 Barley opened steady around s1 341k for December. Sellers outnumbered buyers, resulting in a decline to $1 8 at the close.

GOT MAGUIRES MONEY. Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Detectives
 Hunting for "John Doe"

Detective Hume of Wells, Fargo & Co. is hunting for John Doe," who is wanted on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. The warrant was obtained in Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday morning.
 It appears that on March letter was sent from Forest Hill, Placer County, containing a money order for $40 to John Mcguire, who was then living at GOT Mar ket street. Mcguire did not receive the letter, and on making inquiry ascertainec that the order had been cashed at Wells, Fargo & Co.'S office to a man who rep resented himself as Mcguire. How he had got possession of the letter is still a mystery. The $40 had again to be paid to Mcguire, and the company now want to punish the false Mcguire, at present known as John Doe"

ADVERTISEMENTS
NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularityis matter of importance in every woman's li%. Much pain is, however, endured in the belief that it is necessary and not alarming, when in truth it is all wrong and indicates derangement that may cause serious trouble.
 Excessive monthly pain itself will unsettle the nerves and make women old before their time.
 The foundation of woman's health is perfectly normal and regular per formance of natures function. The statement we print from Miss GER TRUDE SYKES, of Eldred, Pa., is echoed in every city, town and hamlet in this country. Read what she says:
 "DEAR MRS. PNKHAM:-I feel like new person since following your ad- vice, and think it is my duty to let the public know the good your remedies have done me. My troubles were pain ful menstruation and leucorrhea. l was nervous and had spells of being confused. Before using your remedies never had any faith in patent medi- cines. I now wish to say that never had anything do me so much good for painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound; also would say that your Sanative Wash has cured me of leucorrhea. I hope these few words may help suffering women"
 The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi- sr, i,,rr 1a 111 Sc. leled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women during single year.
 All suffering women are invited to write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for advice about their health.

Town Talk.

Patriotism is plainly defined in this weeks "Our Opinion," and Phil Garlic makes some good shots in his aftermath against the sensational newsmonger of the day. The "Saunterer' talks about the clubs, society and passing events; the "Grapholist'' reads characters of people we know, and Leavenworth MacNab con tributes a charming love story. There are several attractive portraits, one of Hora- tio Mannings, and there is a true stori- ette about a milliner and a gay club man. The musical and dramatic critiques are exhaustive and readable.

How the French Wash Flannels,

The peasants in France wear wool,
and they know how to care for it. These
competent working women soften the
water with bran. Common bran with
soap shavings are made up into a bag
and boiled in the water. Boiling water
softens flannel, but there is also a
cleansing and softening power in the
bran. Flannels washed in this water at
a comfortable temperature to handle will
be clean and soft and perfect if properly
dried and pressed. A writer in the New
York Times says in this connection:
Flannels should never be sprinkled.
In this climate they seldom are too dry
to press, but sometimes when the air
is singularly dry and hot it may be
found necessary to moisten them before
pressing, and this can be done by wiring
ing heavy towels out of the hottest wa
ter possible to bear the hands in and
wrapping the fiannels in the hot cloths,
then rolling them smooth and close and
laying in a warm place ready for press
ing. If the garment should become too
damp, the process Of pressing and
stretching and turning should. be. equal
~ prolonged. Experience will determine

The Funny Man.

There is a certain Cleveland lawyer
who delights in teasing his wife. He
knows how trustful and impr~essionable
she is, and he carries home some of the
most preposterous stories just to excite
and alarm her.

ago, Il had a close call today"
what was it, George:" cried the
alarmed wife.
Il crossed the track within a dozen
inches Of a moving motor"
Dear, dear! How dreadful! You
must be more careful, dear. Did you

"And it didn't hit you?"

INHERITANCE.

We wondered why he always turned aside
When misth and gladness filled the Drumming
days.
Who else so fit as he for pleasures ways?
Men thought him frozen l.. a selfish pride,
But that his voice was music none denied
Or that his smile was like the suns warm
rays.
One day upon the sands he spoke in praise
If swimmers who were buffeting the tide.
"The swelling waves of life they dare to meet.
I may not plunge where others safely go.

That ever round this hero's steadfast feet
Surges and tugs the dreaded undertow!
