appear, neither does the cause of Mats
disappearance. 1t is stated that Walter
Reddng. the mixologist of the Alfalfa's
annex at the Hotel Bartholet, philosophi-
cally reasons that the Jap had too free
access to bad whisky in his charge of
the Alfalfa cellars, and that had he taken
his toddy at the annex he would have
been in the land of the living to this day.

was stated to have been added before

held to answer for burglary in Police

glarized the American Cash Store, and
were arrested by Officers Wilson and
Pennish on Friday night.
On the stand yesterday Jordan tried
to lay all the blame on Wilson, but Will
son swore that Jordan was equally
guilty, having known all about the
crime and participated in it from the
outset. Clerk George Weller Of the
store swore that he would long re-
member the burglary, from the fact
that Wilson, had tried to stab him when
the burglars were discovered in the
basement.

still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
large quantity of bogus bills, which are
SO cleverly executed that the average
person would never suspect them of being
spurious. Things of great value are al
ways selected by counterfeiters for imi-
tation, notably the celebrated Hostetter S
Stomach Bitters, which has many imi-
tators but no equals for indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, nervousness and
general debility. The Bitters sets things
right in the stomach, and when the stom-
ach is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the Bit
ters get at the seat of strength and vi
tally, and restore vigor to the weak and
debilitated. Beware of counterfeits when
buying.

Beat Comes to Grief.

or more, under the name Of George
Thompson, was sentenced ITO the County
Jail for six months in the Police Court

Even Judge Davis knew the prisoner
by reputation, and the Court stated
that cases Of the prisoners fraudulent

Sacramento, March s, 1899.
To the Honorable Board of Trustees of

specially referring to. the message OF
Mayor Land to your honorable board,
recommends that the sum of s. 200 be
transferred from the general fund to the
levee bond fund for the purpose of re-
deeming $1,000 worth of levee bonds and
tire issue of said bonds. l have to say
that said bonds were originally issued by
the city in a series Of ten bonds which
became due and payable each year
am advised that in fixing the last tax
levy no provision was then made for the
redemption of the first series of ten
ponds, or for the payment of the interest
due. This was done under the under
standing had with the Funded Debt Com
missioners, who then held these bonds,
that no payment would be made by them
for the amount due for redemption and
interest l learn that recently these levee
bonds, to the amount of $50.0eO. were
transferred by the Funded Debt Commits
sioners to third parties, who now hold
them. in order to procure funds where
with to effect the recent purchase of city
bonds of 1888.
Assuming that these levee bonds are
valid obligations of the city and there
seems to be. no doubt that they are. the
fact that they are now held by third
persons who desire them redeemed and
the interest paid according to the terms
of the contract, in my opinion obliges the
city to provide. funds for that purpose. II
the transfer from the general fund be
not made, or some provision be made for
the payment of these bonds and interest.

city to redeem and pay its interest. and
