ADJUSTMENTS. A

"A Boy Wanted" was played at the
Clunie last night to a full house. 1t
does not proceed upon the plan of put
ting the best foot forward first. 1t re-
served it's best for the last act, and that
is not saying very much. Even among
the poorest of variety shows it is trash
The two redeeming features in it are
Louis Martinetti, a clever tumbler, but
even he had but one new turn, a for
ward throw somersault with back land
ing and hands secured; and the musical
of Fred Waltz and JEANNE Ar
dele, the former clever in piano tricks,
and the latter good in burlesque of
Ana Held, and the only one in the
troupe who can sing a little bit'-the
others screech. Perhaps Miss Busch,
who has seen service in comic opera,
may be excepted, but she was little
heard. Wilson'S concertina solo and
playing on the saxaphone was good, but
not novel and better far has been heard
here The Sisters Laurence. acrobatic
dancers, are 1.-THE contortionists and
tumblers, but plenty as good and better
have been seen here. The piece itself
is silly and tiresome in its absurdity,
witless and without genuine humor,
coarse and without the apology of orig
inality. Any single act of sGayest Man
haitian is worth the whole show, and
even "Hogan's Alley" miserable trash

MEANEST KIND OF A Thief.
HE ROBBED. THE CHILDREN OF
HIS BENEFACTORS.
A Small Safe Stolen From the
Home of Mr. and Mrs.
Emil Kunz.

Emil Kunz, the electrician, notified
District Attorney Ryan and Sheriff
Johnson yesterday that on the 18th of
premises, near Sixth and N streets, a
small safe containing S16O.1O.
Mr.. Kunz is man of family, and
ever since the advent of his first born
child he and his wife have daily de-
posted a 1G-cent piece in the safe.
When an increase in the family oc-
CURED, about a year ago, two dimes
We're daily dropped through the slot OF
the money receptacle, until the register
showed $16010 on deposit in "Kunz'
Sixth-street Bank"
Mr.. Kunz, who is skilled mechanic,
constructed the safe himself. 1t was OF
drum shape, and made of boiler iron,
with a bar through the center SO that
it could be fastened to the floor. 1t
stood about eighteen inches high,
weighed in the neighborhood of fifty
pounds, and was painted red.
In order to clean the carpets the safe
was temporarily moved from its moor
ings, and Mr.. and Mrs. Kunz, after
returning from a visit to some friends,
We're about to make their usual daily
deposit in the bank when to their dis
may they found that the bank and
money were missing.
A large salt sack was also missed,
and a young German, who has roomed
at the Kunz domicile for several weeks,
was seen no more about the premises
after the disappearance of the safe.
His effects, however, which are OF no
value, are still there.
Sheriff Johnson thinks the thief took
the bank, or safe, to the river bank,
broke it open, took the contents and

NEW CHIEF DEPUTY.
B. III. Gallup to Succeed Mr.. Wach-
horst in the Clerks Office.

B. H. Gallup, who has been for a
long time deputy in the County Clerks
office, has been promoted by Mr. Ham
ilton to the Chief Deputyship, vice Eu-
gene Wachhorst, who will become AS
sistant District Attorney on the 1st of
January.
Mr. Gallup is we'll qualified for the
position of Chief Deputy, in fact Mr.
Hamilton could not have made any
mistake as he had excellent material
in his office from which to select a sue
cessor to Mr.. Wachhorst, who has filled
the position with marked ability and
credit to that department of the county
service
Mr.. Gallup possesses the qualities re-
quired in a Chief Deputy. He is an
excellent clerk, is thoroughly familiar
with the business of the office and is
patient, affable and obliging. One has
many peculiar people to deal with in the
County Clerks office, and he who can
preserve his equanimity and treat all
with uniform courtesy is happily con-
Stituted.

BILE game played on Thanksgiving Day
in Woodland, when they upheld their
end against team Of overwhelming
weight, the score being IL to IL.
The team has been in constant train
ing for six weeks, and whereas before
it was rather weak in defensive play, 1t
is now exceedingly strong. There IS
probably not one of the many teams in
this State which plays a better offensive
game, and Chico will have a hard time
resisting the aggressive plays made by
the home team.
From Chico comes the report that the
lads are in the best Of condition, having
trained faithfully and having every
confidence of winning the match. They
play a good, fast game and expect TO
outwind the Sacramentans, but the
home boys look wise and smile, as they
are not so slow themselves.
There will doubtless be a large crowd
present and lively tussle.

Friday evening at the Clunie Callaha-
hans "A Romance of Coon Hollow"
from season at the Fourteenth street
Theater New York Special scenery,
colOred serenaders and dancers, electri-
cal effects, two quartets, q vigorous, con-
nected plot and we'll portrayed charac-
ters, are claimed for the piece and COM
pany. 1t is represented as a Southern
"Old Homestead" comedy 1t brings
about romances attaching to the Ten
nessee Mountains. The claim is made
that it is the equal of, if not superior to
I'm Old Kentucky" and .Blue jeans"
and in some respects resembles them.
1t is in it's fourth season and New York,
Philadelphia and Cincinnati papers are
quoted as warmly commencing it. The
claim is made for the burglary scene,
the Twilight River Scene" the scene Of
the steamboat race, the Cotton Press
Scene" and "A View of Coon Hollow
by Moonlight that these effects are ori-
ginal and very realistic, and that the
tale of the drama is not over colored,
but a genuine and touching heart
story" Seats are now on sale.

THAT TOUHEY LOT.
The Supervisors Will This Morning
Consider It's Purchase.

The Board of Supervisors will meet
at 10 o'clock this forenoon to take ac-
tion in the matter of the proposed pur-
chase of a lot S0x16O feet in the rear
Of the County Jail for storage purposes.
The lot is owned by James Touhey and
he rents it to the county at $40 per
month, but prefers to sell it outright
for $4,000.
The report that Mr.. Touhey consid-
cred it sort of Christmas gift to the
county at that price, is, doubtless, a
canard. It looks more like he prefers
to be at the receiving end of the gift
making affair. Even though the county
may need lot for the storage of rock
wood etc, it seems unlikely the board
would give any such price for one.

Lizzie Wrenz Has Concluded Not to

Some time ago Philip Espanosa, an

a charge Of criminally assaulting a
little girl named Lizzie Wrenz Tor

though the girl gave strong testimony
