of Union Lodge, No. 50, F. and A. NJ,
at the request of Granite Lodge, No.
222, of Rocklin, of which he was a
member.
Mr.. Hackett was held In the highest

Use of useful and honorable career
Assistant Division superintendent T.
r. Jones, who has been investigating
the wreck and attending to the matter
of the removal of the damaged locomo-
tives and care, is confident that neither
of the victims We're subjected to pro-
longed pain. Fireman Lightner's
death was of course instantaneous, and
Mr.. Jones is of the opinion, judging
from the nature of Engineer Hacketts
Woudds and other circumstances, that
he was rendered unconscious at once
and therefore died a painless death.

report of the Commissioner of Public
Works, dated November 16, 1885,
The board is in a quandary on this
point, as the appropriation is to be
used under the law only, in accordance
with the report mentioned.
The board also adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the Chief Engineer
Of this board and Major Heuer, Con-
sulting Engineer, be and they are here
by requested to report to this board at
what points on the Sacramento and
San Joaquin Rivers, if any, a hydraulic
dredger could be used to advantage;
what make of dredger they would rec
ommend as the best, it's cost, capacity
and cost to operate it; what disposition
they would make of the material taken
out of the river. Would the amount
of work that could be done with the
dredger justify the expenditure for a
dredger?
Resolved, That the Attorney Gen-
eral be requested to give this board an
opinion as to whether or not the law
under which this board was appointed
makes it obligatory upon this board
to build or buy a dredger"

ALLEGED EMBEzzLEMENT.
DE-. j. r. LANES Complain Against
e. X. Alsip.

The mystery surrounding the recent
disappearance and present Whereabouts
of e. X. Alsip is now likely to receive
more thorough inquiry than has
heretofore been made.
At last the. matter has got into the
hands of the law officers, and the po-
lice machinery of the State will be
set into motion to discover the where
abouts of the missing man. While
scores of people for whom AIsip had
been doing business have been anxious
to learn where he was, no application
for aid in that direction had been made
to the police of this or any other COM
munity through the instrumentality CT
a criminal charge.
Now, however, DR.. J. r. Laine, for
merly Of this city and still property
owner here, but for some time past a
resident of San Francisco, has sworn
to complaint charging Alsip with
the embezzlement of upward of S20G
received by him (as agent for DIR.
Laine) in the way of rentals.
DR.. Laine, it is said, has been under
the impression that Alsip was in Sc
clusion somewhere in Sacramento.
Three Or four persons have claimed
that they saw him here several days
after he was last seen in San Fran
cisco, despite the assurance of his fam
lily and the employees in his office that
none of them had seen him or known
Of his presence here.
Whether or not the police officials
will be able to learn anything more
than has been made public in regard
to his movements remains to be seen.

To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an indianapolis
GentIemau.


Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat of
the mischief is lost sight of; the stom-
ach is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so
much as in nearly every other organ;
in some cases the heart palpitateS and
is irregular; in others the kidneys are
affected; in others the bowels are con-
stipated. with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and ap-
petite, with accumulation OF gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
A. w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind. writes as fol-
lows: "a motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines
regarding the new and valuable medi-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I
nave DePn a SuIISTeE lIOfIl nervous UyS-
pepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and 9TH
er remedies without any favorable re-
suit. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects of the medicine
wore off T attributed this to my Sed-
entary habits, being a bookkeeper with
little physical exercise, but 1 am glad
to state that the tablets have overcome
all these obstacles, for 1 have gained
in flesh, sleep better and am better in
every way The above is written not for
notoriety, but is based on actual fact
Respectfully yours,
"a. w. SHARPER
"61 Prospect St, indianapolis, Ind"
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach
weakness or disease except cancer Of
stomach. They cure sour stomach, gas,
loss Of flesh and appetite, sleeplessness,
palpitation, heartburn, constipation and
headache.

A RECKLESS DRIVER.
William Slack Convicted of a Sc
rious Offense.

In the Police Court yesterday William
Slack was convicted on the charge of
fast and reckless driving through the
public streets
Slack is the man who, with COM
panion, dashed through the streets in
cart few weeks since and succeeded
in eluding arrest at the hands of Po-
lice Captain Fisher. At that time the
officer did not know who the offenders
We're, but subsequently learned that
Slack was one of the pair.
1t is to be hoped that the conviction
of Slack will have a wholesome effect
on all persons who are given to the
practice of occasionally using the
streets for speeding courses.

tomorrow will say
The arrangement OF the personnel of
the military commissioners for Cuba
and Porto Rico may now be expected
at any time. The President has prac-
tically determined upon the military
and and naval officers who will compos"
the commissions. IT is probable that
the names will be as follows:
Cuban ommission-Major General J

and Admiral w. t. Sampson.
Porto Rico comm ission-Major Gene
raj John r. Brooke. Major General
Theodore Schwan and Admiral Winfield
S. Schley.
1t will be noticed that the name of
General FitZhugh Lee does not appear
in the list of Cuban commissioners
The omission is not unintentional. Gen
cral Lee was originally slated for a
place on the commission, but will not
serve owing to his desire to remain at
the head of the army corps.
