drug store packages, as he handed the con-

from 81 to 81 cents bottle and she at
once began TO have Il tired feeling so that
she might not miss the bargain. Then
Drinkem's Vegetable Compound went down
to 10 cents. and she was troubled with an
other complaint. She had lung trouble
when Steals Sandpaper Balsam was re-
duced TO 30 cents a bottle and when Royt-
ten Liniment went down to - cents she
had rheumatism.
The Cyrano Catarrh Cure cut rates and
she had terrible attack of hay fever.

He Had n Bill.

He was wandering around the corridors
of the State, War and Navy Building. and
his face wore an anxious expression. He
had nearly completed his fifth round of
the place and was gravely reading the in
scriptions above the numerous doors when
an attendant approached and asked him if
he wanted something.
I'm course l do said the visitor. Dye
think I'd come t town less'n l wanted t
see someone"
We'll, who are you looking for" said
Il reckon l want t see Secretary AL
ger"
Go up to the next floor" directed the
attendant.
The visitor made his way to the floor
above with much laborious shutting. and
his cowhide boots seemed TO trip over the
stone flags. He finally discovered the
doorway leading into the sanctum of the
Secretary of War and was approached by
the porter who sits and guards this door
who did you want to see?" said the
porter.
wal, I reckon Secretary Alger ud do
fer what want" quoth the visitor, as he
toyed brayely with a long, much-creased
slip of paper.
The Secretary is busy" said the por-
ter "and l doubt if you can see him this
morning"
Wal, I got t see him, an I'm goin' t

the porter. He'll attend TO your bill all

A few days later a young girl walked
into Nashville, who had never been in a
city before. She asked but one question
the way TO the governors house. That
accessible mansion was readily found:
doors were swinging open, and, announced
by sleepy darky, Janet Bleylock stood
in the governors presence.
With fine and courteous manner that
man listened, struck by her figure, her
full voice and passionate eyes. He prom
ised to use his influence with the Presi-
dent TO procure pardon for Dick Oscar
and the Bleylocks. and Janey was allowed
to go TO the prison with the cheering
news.
The mountain girl was heard of In high
circles. Hearts beat warmly in lovely
Southern bosoms, and they made a heroine
of Janey.

the other went through his pockets and
robbed :iim of $40.
That is just typical place for hold
up, being shaded by the shed, and al
though rot very late. there was no one
on the street at the time. The worR
was therefore quickly done up and the
victim allowed to go. Looking back as
he got to Mrs. Periano's millinery store,
he saw them going around Peters cor
ner, but he didn't care to stop and in
quire where they were going. He just
'hastened his steps to find an officer and
finally got Marshal Lauer. The trains
were watched and efforts made to trace
them, but to no avail.
Some extra efforts should be made to
put a stop to this wholesale robbery,
We are all flush, but would rather have
little to say about who reaps the bene-
e Of our hard earnings. Our citizens
being robbed of over 500 in two nights
is too much of good thing, particularly
when they fail to leave word whether
they intend to take the money out oi
town, or invest it in The Dalles.

Was Originally Planned.

The exhibition of the Industrial Arts of
California. for which the ladies of the
California Club are energetically prepar-
ing. is outgrowing the scope and limits
originally proposed by the club.
distinctly new lead has been opened
and surprises of all sorts await the COM
mittees, which rather anticipated having
to prospect in lively fashion for exhib-
its enough in the way of applied art and
original design to fill the spaces at the
Pavilion Art Gallery. But applications
from artisans and artists all over the
State are flowing in. The press of San
Francisco and of the interior has grasped
the intention of the club women and well
coined the enterprise, while prominent
architects and leaders in the handicrafts-
those who need no advertising-are hast
ening to lend aid and advice.
1t having been strongly urged upon the
club that the original dates-from May
% to 27-made too short a time, it was
agreed at the Thursday morning meeting
that the exhibition shall be held open
from Saturday evening, May 20, day and
evening excepted Sunday, to and includ-

the very wits that are in him. Mr.. Hunt
lngtons friends were particularly en-
phauc, as a matter of course.
Ihe arrangement was arrived a in the
most amlcable manner in the world" says
Mr. Crocker suavely, and added modestly'
1t was for the best interests of the COM
pany all round. Stories of my alleged an
tipathy to Mr.. H. E. Huntington are ludi-
crous; We are all the best of friends and
the Stanford interests are quite in accord,
Notwithstanding all these statements to
the contrary. My election carries with it
nothing more significant than does the
election of General Hubbard or of Mr.
Stubbs or of Mr.. Willcutt. 1t comes in the
natural sequence of events and means
none of this nonsense that has been
printed"
This last evidence of esteem on the part
of Mr.. Huntington for Mr.. Crocker-the
first vice presidency of the California cor
poration-was evidently the last brick the
crafty old man had in his basket to be
used for the purpose.

STRUCK THE BLOWS
THAT KILLED BRENNEKE
EDWARD L. ANDERSON, SALOON
KEEPER, ARRESTED.
Police Allege They Have Three Wit
nesses Who Will Testify That
He Welded the Club.

Edward Ludwig Anderson, proprietor OF
the Scandinavian saloon at Montgomery
avenue and Jackson street, was arrested
Yesterday morning by Detectives Dinan
and Mcmahon and Policeman Shaw and
locked up in 1.-The tanks" He is suspect
ed as being the man who caused the
death of William Brenneke, the sailor,
last Wednesday.
The police have two witnesses-Gus
Butch and Charles Johansen, sailors, who
declare that they saw Anderson strike
Brenneke on the head with a club. and
they have another witness who will tes-
tify to the same effect. The police have
found the club with which it is alleged
the murder was committed. 1t was brak-
en- with the blows on Brenneke's head,
and a portion OF 1t was founu Durleu IN
an ash barrel
Brenneke and Butch were together be-
fore they entered Anderson's saloon and
had some words with Johansen. A fiSht
ensued and Johansen was vanquiShed.
Brenneke and Butch then entered the
saloon, followed by Johansen, and raised
a disturbance. This angered Anderson
who. seizing the club, rushed from behind
the bar and struck Brenneke on the head
with it, Brenneke was taken to the Har-
sane ward in the Receiving Hospital, as
il was believed that he was insane, and
finally was sent to the City and County
Hospital, where he died.
Anderson denies that he was the man
who struck Brenneke with the club and
says he knows nothing about it. He
claims that there was a fight among the
sailors and Brenneke must have received
the blows that caused his death during
the fight The inqoest will be held by
the Coroner this morning and no action
will be taken against Anderson pending
the result to be arrived at by the jury
