Change of Omce.

M. L. HADLEY, the special advertis-
ing agent, for the past seven years To-
Gated at 207 Sacramento street, has re-
moved to q handsome and convenient Of
flee at 10 First street. Mr.. Hadley has
been actively engaged in, newspaper adj
vertising for over seventeen years and
yet one hears but very little of him out
side of Newspaper and advertising cir
cles. Being y c'Cse student of advertis-
ing, his chief delight is the mastery of
some advertising problem, hence club and
social life claim but little of his atten-
tion.
1t is undoubtedly true that Mr.. Hadley
has a most accurate knowledge of the
value Of Western newspapers, as he en-
joys the distinction of being the only
agent in the country who has used all Of
the newspapers published In the Western
States, and this advantage is evidently a
strong factor in his business.
In 1890 Mr. Hadley began buying
space for large local firm and for the
past twelve years has been kept busy
placing advertising for the principal
general advertisers on the coast as well
as for several large general advertisers
in the East.
It is said that none but firms Of high
integrity and reputation can open an ac-
count with Mr.. Hadley. as he insists
upon knowing that the advertising placed
through his Office is honest.

TWO FOOTPADS
ROB SALOON MEN
Masked Men Enter a Howard
Street Resort, but Fail
to Secure Much Money

Two masked men entered the saloon
of Fred II. Burmeister at 1901 Howard
street last night and robbed the pro-
prietor and two customers, Benjamin
Kern and John Linehan. AS there was
their loot was not large. They got
$12 so from Kern, 81 from Burmeister
and few cents from Linehan.
Angry because they did not get more,
one of the thugs struck Burmeister
on the head with a revolver. Both
robbers were rough In their treatment
of the victims. After their pockets had
been emptied the three were thrust into
an anteroom and the door was bolted
on them.
Policeman Timothy Cronin, whose
beat is in the neighborhood, heard the
curses shouted at the three men by the
thugs, and he ran toward the saloon.
Just as he reached the door the robbers
burst out, tearing the masks from their
faces. Cronin grappled with one but
the thug tripped him up and threw him
to the sidewalk. Kern says that
Cronin made no attempt to follow
them.
When they were sure that the rob-
bers had gone the three victims began
to shout Justify. Their cries brought
Burmeister's wife to the place, and she
released them. Just as they were let
out. Kern says, Policeman Cronin
walked in, saying: Look at my uni

The two thugs had evidently watched
Burmeister's place for some time, as
they had their work perfectly planned.
They were seen to enter an alley in the
rear of the place about 10 o'clock.
