FOR MISSING COLLECTOR
Young Employe Accused of Having
Decamped With a Considerable
80


SAN JOSE, Nov. 2.-F. McKeand an
employe of the firm of StulI & Sonniksen,
has decamped with $3.50 of the firms s
funds. In July last McKeand was arrested
for stealing a bicycle. He confessed the
theft, but pleaded destitution in mitiga-
ton. ]. L. Stull became interested in his
case and secured suspension of sentence,
after which he gave McKeand employ
ment in his store, gradually promoting
him until he was made collector. He was
at first given only small bills, but on Fri
day was given several large ones and has
not since been located. He is but IS years
old and is of good family residing in
Chicago.

well, this is Telegraph Hill. VIII you
kindly send up the portable schoolhouse
Immediately? There are 115 pupils here
who are unable to get in the surrounding
schools. You'd better hitch up couple
of extra horses to the house. as the hills
are steep hereabout. And say, I have
just learned that the Fairmount Primary
cannot accommodate 6S pupils, and it is
necessary to send a school out in that
section. You might hitch an automobile
to it, as all the kings horses could not
drag 1T up the steep-hills in that vicinity.
The foregoing is a sample of the tele-
phone messages which will drive Secre
tary Hansen to an early grave as soon as
the Board of Education carries out its
contemplated scheme to build portable
school in order to relieve the congested
attendance throughout the city. At the
last meeting of the board Madame Pres
ident Kincaid outlined what she termed
as her pet scheme to put an end to the
oft-repeated charges that the schools are
overcrowded. She explained that the plan
is working well in Boston and would be
introduced here.

PURE DRINKING WATER.
P. J. Kelly's Natural Stone Filter Re-

P. J. Kellys Natural Stone Filter Re- moves All Danger From Germs.
 With the coming on of the hot days of summer, when even iced water Is none too refreshing, there is added in- terest in the effort of the public to ob- tain prue water, free from germs, free from disease breeders, free from the contamination which, during long, dry spells, works into even the freshest water obtainable.
 The advertising announcement of P. J. Kelly, of Grand avenue and Church street, printed in another part of the issue, offers a solution of this problem at minimum cost. Purity in drinking water is insured by the use of his nat ural stone filters. It Is natural filter ing medium and impurities never pene- trate 1t. It is not quite so new fan gled as some other devices, and not so liable to get out of order. It's merits lie in it's cheapness and absolute etii- ciency It does it's work thoroughly.
 The firm has an enviable reputation for fair dealing and low selling be- cause of large purchases. Customers reap the benefits House furnishing of every description, including all summer necessities, are shown in great variety and at lowest cost.

"Peauonnock Club" of Bridgeport En-
 joy an Evening at Savin Rock, Sixty-five members of the "Pequon- neck" club of Bridgeport, including the clubs minstrel troupe, and some in vited guests, drove to the City of Films via trolley, last evening and enjoyed choice shore dinner at the Seaview hotel Landlord Cameron serving Q most satisfactory spread.
 After the tables had ceased to groan Town Clerk Robert Weber of Bridge port, who was toastmaster, called up on several gentlemen, and the responses were creditable and did honor to New Haven and Bridgeport as well. The glee club of the minstrel company gave some first rate songs and choruses. The clerk of the club Is Sheriff Hawley but his presence was not needed to maintain order. Edward Mora is man ager of the minstrels, which have been organized three years and Colonel D. T. Buckingham is secretary and treas urer. Professor r. K. G. Weber is mu- sical director. Thomas Hayward an old Journal and Courier employe of nineteen years ago, is middleman in the minstrals.
 The party arrived at Savin Rock by special car at S:45 last evening, and after their supper, songs and speeches, left at 12.05. The minstrel end of the aggregation has been playing for three long years without pay, and last even ing's supper was a sort of cuiet testi- people," even if acknowledgement be so long delayed.

MONEY FOR FOURTH OF JULY
Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page.)
 l.. Ayres appeared to be heard concern ] ing bills which they had submitted. MT. 1 Hamilton's bill was for $10 for use of his office for meetings of the selectmen,
 He said last night that about three ] years ago the mayor was requested to see that a room in city hall was pro- | vided for the meetings of the select men. This request was turned over to | the director of public works, and no action in regard to it has been taken l by that official. He was asked whether ] any request had been made for a room l during the period from June 1, 1900, to June 1, 1901, the period for which MT. Hamilton's bill was rendered, and he replied that no such request had been
 made. He said that the selectmen had been using his office for years, and that while he did not mind being public benefactor, he didn't purpose to give free use of his office to the city. MT. Ayres' bill was for $50 for ser vices as clerk of the board of select I, men. He said that he put in similar
 bill last year and that 1t was paid. He said that member of the board of se-
 lectmen preceding him had performed the services and been paid.
 After the two gentlemen retired the finance board discussed their bills. Some of the meetings of the selectmen were held as trustees of the town de- posit fund.- and the finance board rais- ed the question as to whether they were not, when so acting, city officials and as such should meet in city hall. The charter provides for the appointment of trustees of the town deposit fund, but as bills against the fund must be signed by the selectmen the custom has been to appoint them trustees of the fund. Both bills were tabled and the corpor ation counsel will probably be asked to render an opinion on the questions raised.
 The board voted to hold meetings during July and August afternoon at o'clock. The first meeting under this arrangement will be held Wednesday, July 3, as Thursday, the regular meet ing day, will be the Fourth.
