FIGHTING FOR OFFICE.
Commissioner of Public Works Be
fore the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has issued an alter
nate writ Of mandate to State Controller
e. T. Colgan to show why he should not
pay to Ed E. Leake, as Commissioner of
Public Works, his salary for the month
of March, amounting to $3.50. According
to the petition of Commissioner Leake the
office Of public works was created in 1898
and he was appointed and qualified in
1895, since which time he has duly and
properly discharged the duties of his po-
stion. When he presented his demand
for his March salary the Controller re-
fused to draw his warrant for the same
upon the ground that the office of Com
missioner of Public Works had terminal
ed and no longer existed.
Mr. Leake maintains that it was neces-
sary to have the Supreme Court pass
upon the question of the termination of
the office, as he would not be satisfied
with the Judgment of an inferior court.
He asserts that the question should be
settled SOON as the commission IS ser1-
ously crippled and inconvenienced, and
that the interests of the State and people
with whom contracts are made are in
volved.
A few weeks ago Attorney General
TREY L. Ford wrote an opinion for the
Controller in which he upheld the position
of the latter. The mandate proceedings
will be heard by the Supreme Court on
July 8, at o'clock.

DIR. KILMER's REMEDIES.
DIR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT
Is Not Recommended for Everything
But if You Have Kidney or Bladder
Trouble 1t Will Be Found Just
the Remedy You Need.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition;
beauty. vigor and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kidneys are out Of
order or diseased.
Kidney trouble has become so preva-
lent that it is not uncommon for a
child to be born afflicted with weak kid
news. If the child urinates too often,
if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when
the child reaches an age when it should
be able to control the passage and it
is vet afflicted with bed-wetting, de-
pend upon it, the cause of the difficulty
is kidney trouble and the first step
should be toward the treatment of these
important organs This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition
of the kidneys and bladder and not 70
a habit as most people suppose.
So we find that women as we'll as
men are made miserable with kidney
and bladder trouble and both need the
same remedy. The mild and the i'm
mediate effect of Swamp-Ro is soon
realized. 1t is sold by druggists. in

A. Leovetti. who keeps a. fruit store on
Twenty second street and Potrero avenue,
is lamenting the loss of 500. which was
taken from under the mattress Of his bed
in the rear of the store on last Friday in
dispatch time.
The manner of the theft is described by
Mrs. Leovetti in this way: A new build
ing is in course Of construction alongside
of the one occupied by her and her hus-
band. On the day mentioned she asked
the carpenter who was at work if he
would kindly put up . few little shelves
III the windows upon which fruit might be
placed. The carpenter consented, and
when the shelves were up Mrs. Leovetti
asked him how much he would charge for
the job. His answer was that if she
would treat" him he would call it
square"
Accepting this offer. the lady offered
him some wine. but he suggested that
some steam beer would be more palatable.
The lady started after the amber-colored
liquid. but before doing so she went into
the bedroom TO get some change. This
she procured from under the mattress and
then went across the street TO the gro

beer had been consumed, the carpenter

Annual Picnic Was a
Great Success.
A BIG CROWD ATTENDED
THE LUCKY WINNERS IN THE
VARIOUS CONTESTS.
Wholesaler Rubbed Elbows With His
Clerk, Travelling Man, Typewrit-

Hospital Benefited.

The twelfth annual picnic given under
the auspices of the wholesale merchants
of this city at FL Campo Yesterday was in
every sense a success. This conclusion is
arrived at both from the large attendance
and from the enthusiasm manifested by
the assembled guests. If there was
single individual or married one who
die not enter into the spirit of the fes-
titities he discreetly kept himself in the
background, but when it is known that
every one who was there was distinctly
20 the fore in the matter of amusement
it is safe to say that "enjoy yourselves"
was the motto OF the day and was rigidly
adhered to. AS a result the Children's )
Hospital, to which the surplus receipts
will be turned over, viii be enriched by
several hundred dollars.
Too much praise cannot be given the va
riCus committees who had the affair in
charge President Henry NJ. Campo was
ubiquitous in his painstaking efforts to
make everybody feel at home, and he sue
ceeded admirably. Secretary Charles ].
