NIKE Is m AGAIN.
Harrington Goes to the County
Jail for Four Months.

Michael Harrington is in trouble
again, and when next he starts down
the line among the dives the flowers
of spring will be in bloom and all nat
ure smiling.
A couple Of weeks ago Harrington
was tried before Justice Anderson on d
charge Of stealing an overcoat, ana
while the evidence of his guilt seemed
conclusive, the Justice thought doubt
existed and allowed the accused to go'
enjoining him not to do it again.
On Tuesday Charles White (coloreo)
and couple of friends went into a
saloon at Seventh and L streets to get
a drink. One of the men, who knew
Harrington by sight, invited him to join
them, and Harrington did so.
White took three drinks, and then
became stupid He remembered that
Harrington took him home, or started
to do so, and when he regained con-
seriousness he found he was short 81.
Officer Bailey arrested Harrington on
suspicion of having committed the
theft, and the latter, when arraigned
in the City Justices Court yesterday
morning, pleaded guilty to the charge
of petty larceny. Justice Anderson re-
membered the overcoat transaction, and
recalled that he had warned Harrington
not to do it again. The four months
sentence to the County Jail followed.

COULD TRY THEM ALL.
A Drag Clerks Experience.

The following letter from Mr. H. B.
Stark, 1922 Pine ST.. Scranton, Pa, ex-
plains itself and will be of interest to
thousands who have suffered the tor
lures of that common trouble, hemorr-
holds or piles.
Mr.. Stark says: II feel it my duty to
write an unsolicited testimonial regard
ing the Pyramid Pile Cure. Since a
boy have suffered untold agony from
piles. I have tried all available rem
edies, consulted many physicians, but
without help or even relief. I have
been employed as a drug clerk for the
past fifteen years, consequently have
been in a position where I could try
all OF the new and old remedies for
piles, but as before stated to no avail.
About six weeks ago I was again
suffering from my old trouble and as
an experiment tried the Pyramid Pile
Cure, and let me say that it gave in
slant relief and am now wholly cured.
/ am sure also that the cure is perma-
nent.
I shall always recommend the Pyra-
mid to anyone suffering from any form
of piles and shall do what can to ad-
vance the sale of SO excellent a rem
edy." Signed H. B. Stark.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the most
popular and widely known of any rem
edy ever offered for piles
1t is the most popular because it Is
the most successful. It cures every
form of piles without pain or deten-
ton from daily occupation and con-
tains no opiate or cocaine or any poi
sonous or injurious substance.
All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile
Cure at so cents for full sized pack
ages.

CAMP SITE.
General Dickinson's Selection for
the National Guard.

General J. H. Dickinson, Commander
in-Chief of the National Guard, has
prepared a report which interests the
militia very largely. A short time since
the General with other military men,
went to Santa Cruz and there, at the
request of the city chose a portion OF
Laviega flights to accept as a gift for
the guard, on condition that the land
should be made the permanent encamp-
ment place of the organization. The
site selected is a. beautiful one.
General Dickinson's report RECON-
mends to the Governor the formal ac-
ceptance by him of the land offered up
on behalf of the guard. The accept
ance is a foregone conclusion.
General. Dickinson is more than de-
lighted with the newly selected site,
and urges upon the Governor the
beauty of the spot and it's adaptability
for the purpose named. The grounds
will be provided with water and will be
leveled and cleaned. Several gardens
will be planted and a general beautifica-
ton will take place. A model ground
for drilling and camping purposes. is
afforded

purpose Of ascertaining the progress
made up to date. This branch is hav-
ing much attention. Professor Dixon
is a very efficient teacher and allows
no tagging in any of his work.
There is now railroad rumor TOT
this locality. Whence it came, or what
is the foundation for it, can not be toio'
but it has some marks of good preeu-
ing, if not good origin. 1t is this: me
small train that runs from Sacramento
to Marysville and return is to have d
road from Roseville through Orange
vale. on the old grade, and. into Far
Oaks and return, to the main line near
Ben Ali. This line will accommodate a
very fruitful section of the country ana
get the business now done largely by
teams. Orangevale ships carloads OF
fruit day during many months or the
season. This must be hauled, it is true,
to the same company. Fair Oaks Will
begin shipping next year, and from
that time on there will be the pro-
ducts of 1000 acres of fruit, largely
oranges, to ship out of the country.
This train, which now makes one
round trip daily, has but little business
Certainly this would bring relief to
Fair Oaks and bring into the place
many well-to-do families who are ready
to come as soon as good transportation
can be furnished to Sacramento.
There is also a quiet report, which
has Eeen circulated cautiously, that
the Santa Fe has a plan of making a
line through Fair Oaks, Orangevale and
up through this citrus belt as soon as
it gets we'll established in Sacramento.
There is a good grade from Roseville
into Orangevale, so that the cost OF
making a road will be comparatively
small.
The condition of the young fruit
trees and the land now waiting for the
nursery stock will bring some road
through this section. The electric road
will be popular way of travelling and
freighting for this community, and If
such line were running from the city
along the south side of the American
River, crossing the river into Fair Oaks
at the town site and then pass on TO
Orangevale it would be well patronized
at such seasons as the present.
Fair Oaks, thus shut out from the
privilege of Sacramento, can find plenty
of opportunity to shout it's wants to the
world, and claim the right to fair
chance to visit the Capital City.
The writing test at the academy came
off Tuesday morning and Miss Florence
Bishop was declared the best, and
Clarence Watson as being the next
best, and as having made the greatest
Improvement. It is not generally
known that Professor Dixon has the
honor Of having his work on exhibit
ton at Omaha and it took the first
premium. He gives free instruction to
every pupil at the academy daily, and
his work cannot be equaled as an in
structor, if measured by the result of
this contest.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Lee, the hypnotist, and his two aids
had a good audience at the Opera
house last night. The auditorium was
warm and comfortable and the people
had nothing to distract their attention
from the entertainment, which kept
them in roars of laughter. 1t was the
merriest seance yet; especially in the
number where six subjects were made
to feel intense cold and to warm their
hands over the bald and other pates of
several of the spectators. There were
twenty-five subjects on the stage last
night, and out of the lot Lee got seven
to completely yield, six of them were
very good, including three who had
been previously operated on. The as
sistant who was put to sleep on Mon
day night was awakened on the stage
after something over forty-six hours
sleep. He was weighed and found to
have lost four pounds. DR.. Schnabel of
Newcastle examined him and found his
temperature normal, his pulse two be-
low normal, and his heart somewhat ir-
regular in action. In five minutes the
man was as active as ever and assisted
throughout the evening. The star feat
of the evening was stretching the same
man over chair tops while four men
were seated upon his rigid body. To-
night the rock breaking feat will be re-
peated with a heavier sledge and
stouter helve, the subject being Man
ager MISSIONER. An odd blunder of
types made us say yesterday that
Lees talk in introduction and explana-
ton on Tuesday night was "vapid,"
when the word written was rapid. Lees
explanations are by no means vapid,
even IL not for Evolutionary effect.
Among the subjects on the stage last
night were number of new people,
several being we'll known in the COM
munity.

water below, and then walked back
again. She was subsequently arrested
on K street. She insisted that her
name was Mary Doe and last evening
a young man put up the coin necess acy
for her release.

ALLEGED FLIM-FLAM.
]. A. Hartman Accused Of Work
ing the Change Racket.

]. A. Hartman, an agent for phono-
graph company, was yesterday arrested
by Acting Chief Of Police Ash, on
warrant charging him with stealing $lO
from George Cowles, the plumber.
According to the story told by the
complainant, Hartman entered his
store at 1922 K street and purchased a
bill of goods amounting to $3.50. He
rendered a $40 gold piece in payment,
and counted out a half-dozen nickels to
make the odd change. A son of the
proprietor laid a S. gold piece on the
counter, and picking up the nickels, put
them in his purse. While doing so, Har-
riman, he says, picked up both the $40
piece he had laid out and the IS in
change, and walked out with his pur-
chase.
Hartman insists that the young man
got his money, but the latter says he
did not, nor at any time did he have the
