J. w. Reay has met defeat in his en-
deavor to set aside a judgment in favor
of the late Mrs. mabel Treadwell, placing
her in possession of some $500 900 worth of
property in the vicinity of the old Lone
to set aside the judgment on the ground
that II. was obtained by fraud, it being
claimed by the plaintiff that several wit
nesses ,swore falsely at the trial, including
Mrs. Treadwell herself. and that Leopold
Markgraff, whose testimony would have
materially assisted Reay's case, was spir-
tied away.
Markgraff whs on the stand yesterday

Summers of the day before failed to as

Woodlands Arson Case,

The Supreme Court has reversed the
Judgment and order of the lower court of
Yolo County in the case of Phil Cullum
who was convicted of arson in the second
degree. The reason was that the testi-
mony of one of the witnesses was not of
an impeaching nature and should not have
been allowed for such purpose. There
were several implicated In the crime.

The MinStrels.

An unusually satisfactory house
greeted the visit of AL G.. Fields bic
company of minstrels last night and
the entertainment this lot of people
gave was worthy of the generous pat
ronage bestowed upon them.
In all respects Field has got great
lot of folks with hlm--sipgers, dan
GERS, musicians, funny men and aero
bats. The setting fer the first part is
downright gorgeous and the music
rendered by the vocalists was of a
high standard of excellence. Many
novel and startling features graced the
"olio," and the acts were highly appre-
ciated.
Manager Selpel is to be congratulate
ed. The house last night was" to
standing room only" before the plat
left the place of sale; and the aisles
were partially occupied by people sit
ting in extra chairs.

GIVES FORTUNE 10 CHARITY.
Aged Woman Donates Her Wealth
Before Death 10 Avoid
Litigation.

George c. Thomas, the treasurer of
the Domestic and Foreign Missionary
society of the Protestant Episcopal
church, was surprised lately to receive
gift to the society of about $4,000.
The owner Is n woman about 80 years
old. In order that there might be no
dispute over her estate in case of her
death she determined to make her Of
fering to the cause of missions during
her lifetime and under these condi-
tons:
/. That no public mention should be
made of her name in connection with
the donation and that it should be kept
a profound secret.
2. That the money should not he
boarded, but that it should be used
where it will do the most good, at such
n time and in such manner rs should
be deemed eXpedient, without the
slightest restriction.
Before bestowing the gift the un-
named donor retained sufficient sum
of her estate to place herself beyond
the pale of want during the course of
her remaining years.

Wheel of Fortune.

"The Wheel of Fortune" new and
original comedy drama which will be
seen at the Auditorium on Thursday
evening, Dec. 30, can safely be said to
be up to the spirit of the times. 1t
will be produced upon most elaborate
scale with special scenery and original
mechanical effects. Every clamax is a
revelation of the new idea. The songs
dances and many refined specialties
introduced during the numerous scenes
are rendered by company of artists
who stand premier at the head of their
profession. Nothing has been left un-
done to make this production a tri-
umph of sensation. L. M. LUCHS.

Watch Them.

A corporation that wished to destroy
its books to escape an order for their
production in court and would in
trust this confidential task to a num-
ber of Bohemian workmen, is quite
tco stupid to be in any way menace
to the public. The Standard Oil peo-
pie may have done this thing at CleVe-
land, but if they did they are not the
accomplished pirates they have been
represented, and nobody need be much
afraid of them. The story is certainly
an interesting one. and it will be
worth while to await further informa-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
aud that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, ann when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be ta-
ken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
