CONTRACTORS OF THE
 POODLE-DOG BUILDING
John G. Ills 6 Go.

The culinary department of the build ing, to which special attention was given, was fitted up by the well-known establishment of John G. Ills & Co.,, S14- S16 Kearny street. An equipment espe- cially constructed for the building was introduced. and it is complete in every respect. The kitchen has been provided with double front Ills" French range and a four-foot broiler stand. Above hangs massive canopy to carry off all the odors of cooking.

Electric power is employed in the manufacture of ice cream and in the operation of the knife cleaner.
 The firm of John G. Ills & Go. is fully capable to carry out every contract and employs a large force of skilled work men.

SHORT HISTORY OF THE THEA
 TIERS METEoRIC CAREER.
Experience of a Number of We'll Known Business Men Who Lost Money by Entering Into
 an Unknown Field.

Within the present month the Orpheum management will probably add another playhouse to its already large collection. Negotiations have been in progress dur ing the past week between MT. Meyer feldt of the Walter Orpheum Company and 4. Ruef, attorney for the stockhold- CTS in the Alhambra Theater Company with view to consummating a deal. Deeds and other legal documents neces- sary to the transaction have been pre- pared and nothing remains but the sigma lures of the parties interested to close the transfer &
 MT. Meyerfeldt admitted that such ne- gotiations were pending, but was unable to say what the Orpheum people intended doing with the theater. He denied the rumor that the company proposed to gain possession of the Alhambra for the pur- pose or preventing vaudeville perform ances being given in it.
 The Alhambra's life was a short but meteorc one. Great expense was incur red by the corporation that controlled it to make 1t one of the prettiest and coZi- est playhouses in town. It was opened on September 3, to 8 overflow house and closed month later to empty benches. Thousands of dollars were lost in an en- deavor to outshine its noted rival, but with poor success.
 William J. Rostetter, Roster & BialS $ leader Of twelve years, was imported from New York to handle the orchestra and special agents were sent everywhere to engage the best talent. Rosy induce ments were offered stars" and transpor- tation was telegraphed them. After ac- cepting engagements at the practically unknown house, the flighty stars were deterred from filling them by stories of empty houses from those of the profes- sion who had appeared there.
 The dollars in the coffers of the corpo ration dwindled and a halt was called. Abe" Ruef, whose one share gave him the right to act as a director as well as attorney, out of goodness of heart for his unfortunate clients. came to their as sistance with his own private funds. Even the money expended by him could not bring relief to the theater and on Oc- tober 23 a little over a month after it's initial performance, Nthe Alhambra closed its doors.
 The stockholders boast that on the evening the theater closed over S4000 was used in settling the salaries of artists and employees. The Alhambra Theater Com pany was incorporated with the following well-knOwn business men of this city a principal stockholders: s. J. Levy, T. P. Woodward, L. A Req. A. E. Osborne, N. Slessinger and pr. de Kanet. Twenty five thousand shares were disposed of at SI0 a share and a few hundred local resi- dents purchased stock.

CAPTAIN NEvILLs' NEMESIS.
Azhderian Sentenced to Peni- tentiary.

Unless the Supreme Court intervenes Elsie Williams and Myron Azhderian, convicted of having extorted money from Captain W. E. Nevills, the millionaire mine owner and vineyardist, must go to the pentitentiary. Yesterday morning Judge Cook refused to grant the prison CTS new trial, and sentenced Mrs. Will Hams to five years in San Quentin, while Azhderian was given like term In Fol- som.
 When the jury announced it's verdict guilty it recommended the former to the mercy of the court. Judge Cook refused to consider the recommendation of the jury, however, on the ground that she was equally as guilty as AZhderian, and he saw no reason why she should suffer less. An exception was taken to the order denying new trial, and ten days stay of execution was granted. In the mean time an appeal will be taken to the Su- preme Court, and without doubt the priS- oners will remain in the jail of this coun- ty until that tribunal has finally passed upon the judgment of the lower court.
 Court frequenterS expected a sensation when Mrs. Williams, in obedience to an order of court, stood up to receive sen- tence. In answer to the question of the court as to whether she had anything to say before sentence was passed, Mrs. Will Hams mildly said:
 'Nevills told me he would spend $1O0QO0 to send me across the bay. and l guess he has done It."
 This closed the incident, and the crowd wandered out in search of more excite ment.

PECULIAR POISONS
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY.
The Result of Imperfec Digestion
 of Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within itself the germs of cer- tain decay and death.
 In the human body these germs of disease and death (caIled by scientists ptomaines), are uaIly the result of imperfect digestion of food; the result of indigestion or dyspepsia.
 The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does nc promptly and thoroughly di- gest the food. The result is a heavy, sodden mass which ferme, ts Che first process of decay), poisoning the food making It thin, weak, and lacking in red corpuscles poisoning the brain, causing headaches and pain in the eyes.
 Bad digestion irritates the heart causing palpitation and finally bring ing on disease of this very important organ.
 Poor digestion poisons the kidneys. causing Bright's disease and diabetes
 And this is so because every organ every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal. and weak digestion shows itself not only m loss Of appetite and flesh, but In weak nerves and muddy cOmplexion
 The great English scientist Huxley, said the best start in life is a sound stomach Weak stomachs fail to di gest food properly, because they lack the proper quantity of digestive acids dacuc and hydrochloric) and pept0 genie products; the most sensible rem edy in all cases of indigestion is to take, after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply in a pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak stom- achs lack.
 The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure every form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.
 They increase flesh, insure pure blood, strong nerves, a bright eye and 'clea- complexion, because all these re suit only from wholesome food well digested.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
A Bill Will Be Offered in the Legisla- ture- to Reerganize on the New
 York Plan.

It has been practically determined to allow those members of the National Guard who were not accepted in the vol unteer service to remain in their respec- tive companies without undergoing a physical examination, as 1t was proposed about two months ago they should. That being the case it is thought that these, with those new men who have been exam ined, and the members of the First Cali fornia Volunteers who it is expected will return within ninety days, who may want to return to the companies from which they enlisted, there will be enough to re-establish the First Regiment of In- fantry at its maximum strength. But of this there is no certainty, as 1t is not known what percentage of the veterans Of Manila will want to again bear arms for the State. As the matter stands at this time, 1t looks very much as if noth- ing will be done until the volunteers re- turn
 There are many of our Natioal Guards men, who, anxious to see their former comrades in arms once more, are at loss to understand the statement attrib- uted to General Meikeljohn of the War Department to the effect that the volun- teers cannot be returned to San Francisco for want of transports on the Pacific side, and that they will have to remain at Ma nila until the transports which are to carry the regulars to that point reach there by way of the SueZ Canal This is thought strange, when 1t is known that the Indiana, Newport, Pennsylvania. Ohio and other transports are idle in the bay Of Manila. Why those vessels are not used In sending some of the men back to this city Is the mystery.
 During the past week the board of sur geons held meeting to examine men for the guard and they had but a very slim attendance of candidates
 A petition has been presented for the organization of a troop of cavalry at Sac ramento. There are sixty names on it. A petition has also been presented for an infantry company to be located at Wood lana to take the place of Company F.
 At the approaching session of the Legis- lature there will be presented bill look ing to the reorganization of the guard of this State on the lines of the law that was adopted short time ago in the State of New York. Should that be passed 1t will effect many changes, one of the prin- clpal ones being the reduction of staff officers. In New York 1t was decided that in the past the guard had been top heavy with gold lace, stars and eagles and that the need' of the guard was less show and more of the practical.
 A matter that will be strongly urged will be that of the State owning its own armories. It is claimed that the present system of renting armories is very ex- pensive one and that if the State should decide to have its own places of rendez- vous for the soldiers, 1t would in the end be a great saving and the money now used for rents could be expended to ad- vantage in other directions in connection with the efficiency of the guard.
