AN OLD "CoN' ARRESTED.
Police Officer Max p. Fisher
Catches George Harris.

Officer Max p. Fisher, who disclaims
the title of detective, arrested George
Harris (negro) yesterday morning,
charging him with vagrancy. Speaking
of his prisoner, Officer Fisher said:
He went to Folsom for burglary in
1881, and was released in 1884. He
was not free long, for he was sent to
San Quentin from Alameda County on
April %, 1885, on charge Of burglary.
He was sentenced to serve eighteen
years, but got out on June 25, 1896,
that being the time, minus credits.
Since that date he has been a loafer
and sneak thief, perhaps worse. He
went over the second time under the
name of William Owens When 1 got
him he denied his name and record, and
seemed greatly surprised when 1 took
him in. He uses opium now. and is to
be seen at fires, in alleys and else
where at unusual hours. He is a bad
man, and we ought to have him leave
town."

Postage to be Reduced to One Cent

The enormous increase in the number
of letters carried in the y. S. mails makes
it certain that the rate of postage must
eventually be reduced to one cent an
ounce. The President who succeeds in
getting such a measure through Congress
will hold high place in the esteem of the
people, but no higher than the esteem in
which everybody holds Hostetter's Stom-

equaled record in reducing the sickness
