when he left the pilots office, upon
the last night upon which he worked
He was next heard of about five days
later at the house on Liliha street,
where he was found in an advanced
stage of plague. He had been in the
house only two days. II was proven
to the satisfaction Of the Board by evil
dence gathered by Mr.. A. w. Carter,
that during the other three days he
had lived and slept in a room in the
building occupied by the above mem
toned Chinese livery stable, and had
used privy in common with the other
persons in the same and adjoining
premises. AS far as could be learned,
he had kept close to his room in con-
trast to his usual habits, and the in
ference was reasonable that he was
sick in the premises for two or three
days.
The Board has not depacted from
the radical policy heretofore inaugur-
ated" in condemning and destroying
premises found, upon reasonable evil
dence, after investigation, to be infect
ed by plague. In the instance under
discussion the only announcement yet
made that the Hotel stables is mot to
be burned" occurred in the headlines
of the morning paper, and for this the
Board respectfully declines RESPONSE
bility.
Very respectfully yours,
c. B. WOOD.

A. German, also q ropemanr at the
Anaconda said he had known Dempsey
about two years, and on occasion
Dempsey a told him his mind was not

mentioned a fight he had in an alley
/, off Park street In which conflict HE had
been beaten up. On another occasion
Dempsey had told him his wife had. some
property which he knew she did not own,
and at another time. after coming up
out of the st. Lawrence NINE, Dempsey
had said he knew nothing to prevent one
man from doing another personal vio-
lence down in the mine. On ~crOss-ex-

him. He would aWaken in the night ana

Lik all other inmates Of the Jail, Demp-

some day. He had spoken of a lying

he expected to fly from one part Of the
country to the other.
Thomas Keyes, awaiting trial on the
charge of having murdered a man In
the Free Silver lodging house, on West
Galena street, about four months ago,
described Dempsey's conduct in the 1ail.
He said Dempsey had a faculty Of see
ing things at night, things he called
"'banshees.' These banshees danced
about the place and played all sorts OF
horse with each other. Keyes said he
had become suspicious of Dempsey and
left the cell. Dempsey had also ex-

the owners wanted too much and made
them an offer of $3.50, 900. which was re-

He Was Very Charitable.

An amusing story is told in connec-
ton with a swell bazaar held n short
time ago. Among the features of the
- entertainment was a refreshment stall,
to which charitable donors contributed
supplies, thus enabling all the takings
to represent clear profits.
The lady in charge requested n gift
for this purpose from we'll known
and wealthy gentleman in the city, but
one not famous for parting" To her
surprise she received next day a note
to the effect that he was sending her
sirloin of beef and two" OK tongues.
The same morning the lady happened
TO go to her butcher (who was also the
butcher of Mr.. NJ. and. after giving
him a large order for her stall, asked
him if he would like himself to give
anything.
II should very much, ma am" replied
the worthy tradesman, but I yester-
day gave to Mr.. ". at his request for
this purpose, a sirloin of beef and three

The duty of democrats to turn out

party may feel on the legislative
question, the responsibility is too
great to be treated indifferently. Let

GOOD TASTE IN DRESS.

Good taste in dress is largely q
matter of edu cati IN, and no lady cab

her station in life may be. A dress

Judgment, bearing in mind that there
is such thing rs beauty of outline
of form that should be con instantly
sought for and used so as to bring
out the results an artist would desire
and appreciate. In no other way
could these results be obtained, ex-
cept by careful education and train
ing in such matters.
There have been MANY attempts
made to get a correct system whereby
all kinds of clothing could be cut for
general wear. There have been paper
charts. models, scales, folding and
sliding devices of every conceivable
kind, but none was successful.
There was no system for general use
that could cut anything beyond
plain waist lining and a plain sleeve
until the invention of the Diamond
Garment Cutter, which was the first.
and is today the only practical and
successful method of cutting and tit
ting all kinds of garments worn. And
again, there is not an article in
America that has been introduced
into family use that gives as much
satisfaction, saves more time, trouble

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of .undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. II.
