SACRAMENTO, Jan. 31.-Gavin Nc
Nab, the Democratic leader of San
Francisco, and Dent H. Robert, man.
aging editor of Hearst's San Francisco
Examiner, met face to face in the SEN
ate chamber, where the boodling case
was being investigated tonight for the
first time, and during the course of the
proceedings they almost came to blows.
McNab openly accused Robert and
the Examiner of being directly con-
nected with the alleged corruption of
Senator's Emmons, Wright, French and
Bunker. His voice all the while trem-
bling with emotion, he pointed his
finger at Robert and shouted aloud
that he was satisfied IN his own mind
that the Examiner had paid Senator
Emmons $500 as a bribe.
Robert emphatically denied the
charges, and McNab then hurled the
singing rebuke at him to the effect
that he would show by conclusive proof
that the Hearst paper has spared no
means in it's efforts to wreck the Con-
IlIle1IdI lLOebu clooCOADbAOAA
and ruin it's president, secretary and
himself, and that in so doing it has
been the means of corupting the SEN
ate committee on commissions and re-
trenchments, of which the four sena-
tors accused of boodling are members.
McNab may be said to occupy the
same position in connection with the
case now under investigation here as
did Joseph Folk in the st. Louis
briberies. He has engineered the entire
scheme for trapping the boodlers and
by developments tonight showed con-
clusively that he has a chain of evil
dence which it will be difficult to re-
flute.
There were five witnesses before the
investigating committee, whose ses-
sion commenced at $3.50 and continued
until past midnight. These were Clar-
ence Granger, secretary and manager
of the Phoenix Building and Loan as
ISOLATION; Gavin McNab, Managing
Editor Older of the San Francisco Bull
letin; D. HI. Robert Of the Examiner,
and George N. Tichner, an inspector
for the Continental company.
With the exception of Robert the
witnesses reviewed the case of the
prosecution from it's inception to the
time the money is alleged to have been
paid to the senators through Joseph
Jordan, a newspaper correspondent,
who is charged with acting as the "go
between"
Upon his arrival in Sacramento this
evening from San Francisco Joseph
Jordan was arrested by order of Dis
trict Attorney Seymour of Sacramento
county and locked up in the county Jail.
He will probably be charged with a
felony tomorrow for his alleged connec-
ton with the boodling case.
District Attorney Seymour is hot on
the trail of the boodlers and says he
will use every legitimate means to
secure their conviction.

Great Mems Mothers.

A pretty little idyl is ended by the
 death of President Loubet's mother Simple humble woman as she was,
 he never forgot her in his greatness,
 bat used regularly to visit her in the little village home where she was pass. ing the twilight of her days. She and the mother of the Pope must have had much in common, and been women of very similar disposition, as they were similar in station. Strange that the sons of two such mothers should rise to such eminence and to pursue courses so irreconcilably hostile. Most men that have rises confess great debt to the influence of their mothers. A par allel to the instances of the Pope and the French President comes to mind in the cases of Benito Juarez and Pro. firio Diaz. These were the sons of Mexican. Indian mothers, women of no culture, yet of wonderful character. To Juarez it fell to overthrow the priesthood in Mexico and become pres. ident; to Diaz it remained to complete the work of upbuilding which his schoolfellow and rival begun, and him self to become president, and, in the estimation of at least one of his ad mirers, the most wonderful man of the nineteenth century.-Guardian.

Do It Today.

The time.worn injunction, "Neve, put off till tomorrow what you can dc today" is now generally presented it this form: "Do it today!" That is the terse advice we want to give you abou, that hacking cough or demoralizinR cold with which you have been strue. gling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for it today and let that remedy be Dr. Boschee'. German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty five years. A few dose. of it will undou oubtedly relieve you, cough or cold, and it's continued use for few days will cure you com pletely. No matter how deep seated your cough. even if dread consumption has al tackled your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect cure-as it has done be- fore in thousands of apparently hope. less cases of lung trouble.

Paying for the Privilege of Working

Occasionally from various quarters comes the report of the demoralization of mine crews by the extortion of bosses and foremen, who, by various means, obtain money from workmen which is never repaid. In some in- stances bribery to secure position is the demoralizing feature; in others, the men must patronize certain establish ments about town in order to hold their jobs; in still others, on pay day the boss, or foreman. solicits a loan from certain of the men, and this loan is never repaid, nor, in many instances. is it expected. It is the foreign ele. ment among miners who are the usu l victims of such practices and who sub. nit either willingly, or sullenly hold their peace waiting for an opportunity to play even. That the best results are obtainable where such practices are in vogue Is impossible. A man, having secured his position by bribe, whether 1t be loan, or agreement to patronize certain trades people in the town, feels secure, and he shirks his work at the expense of the company. Miners of intelligence will not submit to extor
 tion of tbis sort, and prefer to hold their places by merit alone, or to lose them if required to pay for the privi
 lege of earning an honest livelihood. There are we'll authenticated instances where shift bosses have obtained thou. sands of dollars from the men under their direction. The management of mines should see to it that no such practices are carried on in the proper
 ties under them. It is only few days since number of Slovenian laborers united in legal action to com pei a former shift boss of an Alaska mine to refund money extorted from them in various ways. Of course these pernic- ious practices are never carried on openly, and the management remained
