DO the right thing If you have Nasal Ca
tarrh. Get Eiy's Cream Balm at once. Don't
touch the catarrh powders and snuffs, for they
contain cocaine. Ely's Cream Balm releases
the secretions that infame the nasal passages
and the throat, whereas common remedies
made with mercury merely drive them out and
leave you no better than you were. In word,
Ely's Cream Balm is real cure, not delusion.

Grand Jury 10 Busy.
1t is the general impression here
however, CLEANED from remarks that
have been dropped from time to time
that their activity Is principally in
connection with the work of the grand

is being conducted by Deputy Attorney
Miles s. Johnson. Attorney Ruick is
conducting the trials alone, and Al
torney Johnson does not appear in
them, his entire time being taken ur
with the grand jury work.
May Be New Indictments.
The fact that the government agents
are SO active at this time when it Is
supposed the evidence is in on the
cases at hand, leads to the belief here
that there are important matters be-
fore the grand jury. The statement is
even made here that the grand jury
will be asked to return several new
indictments. 1t is believed that the

MAYOR SCHMITz
BLACK AS RUFF
Mayor Indicted on
Charge Of Extorting
"Graft" Money

san Francisco, Nov. 15-The grand
Jury this afternoon found five separ-
ate indictments against Eugene
Schmitz and Abraham Ruef on the
charge of extortion. On each charge
the bail was fixed at $4,000 bond
and $4,000 cash.
| The first alleged crime was in con-
rection with the Poodle Dog restau-
rant and the indictment recites that
/ huef and Schmtz demanded money
from the proprietor, Tony Blanco. AS
this demand was made, it is saio, on
two occasions, two indictments were
returned.
Extortion, declared to have been
practiced upon Ed Marchand, proprie-
tor of Marchand's restaurant, is the
basis of two more indictments.
demand made upon Joe Malfanti, an
other restauranteer. is the alleged
cffense on which the fifth and last
indictment was founded. The indict-
ments were returned for the grand
Jury by Foreman B. p. oliver, who
u, esented the documents to Judge
Muraskey, who read them and placed
them on file. He then proceeded 10
fix the bail for each charge.
Extortsd Money From Restaurants.
According :. the indictments Ruef
end Schmit. IN the 18th of January,
I!:O4, ex.olteG 81 IT'S from Tony Blanco
o. the Poodle Dog" and on February
9Th of the same year they forced him
to give up 81, 0tse more.
THE third Indictment IL based on the
rxtortion OF $I.175 from the proprietor
tof MarchanI.s restaurant. They are
charged with demanding and receiving
on the same day s1,175 from the pro-
Ilietors Of Delnonico's restaurant. 1t
is charged that on the 9Th Of the fol-
lowing February they forced these
same men to yield $1,000 by threatening
to take away their liquor licenses.
Sheriff O'Neil' declares that he will
not serve the I've warrants on Ruef
tonight as tn: clerical work il SO
great that he carnot get them out in

cidad whether he will arrest Schmitz

In the presentation of the fndict-
nents against Mayor Schmitz and Po-
Htical Leader Ruef. Assistant District
Attorney Heney has fulfilled the
promise that the first action taken
by the grand jury would be to accuse
Abraham Ruef of felony. This
prophecy was made in open court two
weeks ago, but nothing was then said
that Mayor Schmitz would be drawn
INTO the scandal. The Indictment Of
Ruef was expected by the public, but
the people were not prepared for i'm
mediate direct action against the
ctty's chief magistrate, who is on the
Atlantic returning from a visit to

For nearly two years the alleged
Objectionable restaurants, which were
all destroyed by the April confagra-
ton, We're the cause of bitter assaults
from the pulpit and press, the accu-
sations being made that they were
immoral and menace to the welfare
Icf the community. The so-called
restaurants were combination of
eating house. lodging house and
liquor resort.
The agitation for their suppression
began years ago when ID apparently
reached the city officials and orders
were issued that they be deprived
OF licenses which would close them
The doors remained locked for a short
time and then the restaurants were
permitted to reopen with "some re-
strictions." Soon the houses were
eSain in full sway along the old lines.
Some of the local newspapers at the

neen collected amounting to thous-

had been paid into the officials hands

Ruef's name with the alleged illegal
use of the money. Ruef, indeed, ad-

merely as an attorney In promoting
the interests of his clients whose

ORIGIN OF VIENFlESE BREAD
Dates Back to 1858 When Turks Be-
sieged the Austrian Cap
ital.

The origin of that Viennese bread
shaped like a crescent, which is found
in most Places on the continent, dates
back TO 1858.
At that time the Austrian capital
was being besieged by the turks un-
der the terrible grand vizier, Kara
Musta pha, and as they failed to take
the city by assault they decided to dig
a passage under the walls and so pen
citrate into the town. In the daytime
the noise of the siege made the sound
of the tunneling inaudible and at
nighttime the defenders of the place
were asleep, all but the sentries and
bakers.
1t was the bakers who, as they
baked the bread for the garrison,
heard the pickaxes of the miners COM
| ing nearer and nearer and gave the
alarm. In the fighting the bakers took
their share with the utmost bravery
and as a reward for their service the
emperor gave them permission tc
make a special cake shaped like the
Turkish crescent.
