RARE DRUGS

Many people experience considerable trouble in having some valuable recipe prescription filed, because they usually call for some rare drug which is not always carried by he average druggist.

 Nowhere else will you ind a complete stock of drugs chemicals medicines. etc. You may not have seen the entire stock because the labora- tory is conducted in dr clean basement where the temperature is alway just right to preserve the good quality of all medicines.

POSTMASTER.GENERAL
TALKS WITH TEDDY

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Postmast-
er General Meyer, who talked with
President Roosevelt in Oyster Bay
the other day, has announced that he
has on foot movements to insure the
package post, the postal savings bank
and other innovations.
81 am going to recommend to con-
gress in my annual report" said Mr..
Meyer, ''the establishment of a do
nestle parcels post service limited to
ten pounds or any other weight that
congress will accept, five pounds, if
necessary.
81 am also considering the feasibi-
lity of recommending the establish
ment of some sort of postal savings
bank. We find that today some peo-
pie are buying postal orders payable
to themselves as means of saving
their money. This shows that there
is room and need for postal savings
bank which will give the people a
chance to deposit their savings.
II will not advocate the increase of
the postal rates on any class of mail
matter. | am considering a plan for
the reduction of postal rates between
the United States and such countries
as we have direct steamship commu-
nication with-England, France, Ger
many-from cents per half ounce
to 2 cents. To make a reduction will
not require legislation, but joint ac-
tion by the postal authorities of the
two interested countries.
I'VE now carry letters from the
Atlantic to the Pacific for cents and
from any part of the United States
to our colonies for cents. | think
the rate between the United States
and England and similar countries
should be no higher. England has a
postal rate of cents with her colo
MES.
1--WE are also going to experiment
with a view to introducing postage
stamp slot machines generally, from
which scent, 2-cent and 1-cent
stamps may be bought. l have also
been considering for some time the
establishment of a new delivery of
mail at O'Clock at night in thickly
populated residence districts of this
city. If the plan is introduced, it will
be possible, as in London, to write a
letter and get an answer the same

gineer and member of the firm of
Wade & Maunsell, was shot and kill
ed in the Sunset restaurant In the
tenderloin district at 4:15 o'clock
this morning by George Gibson, a
deputy sheriff The trouble arose
over an offensive remark made by
Maunsell to two women of the under
world, who came into the restaurant

Maunsell, according to Gibson's story,
assaulted him. The officer claims
that he drew his gun.

the Cameron School of Mines. He has
five sisters living in England. Gibson
was arrested and put in the custody

tender in the Oregon saloon on Main
street were playfully throwing bot
ties and glasses at each other when

fered. Friends of Shea blocked the

YOUNG WOMAN DIES
WHILE ON AUTO TRIP

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.-An
automobile containing two men, a
young woman and the body of girl
who had been their companion on a
ride through the park to the Cliff
house reached the Park hospital at 8
o'clock this morning. When the hos
pital attendants made the discovery
that the girl was dead they immedi-
ately caused the trio to be arrested
until the cause of death could be
explained.
The dead woman was Miss Francis
Earl, young, pretty and stylishly
gowned Her residence was 1411
Golden Gate avenue. Her compan-
ions were George w. Forbes of 2010
Sutter street, who acted as chauffeur; !;
Miss Pearl Shelton-of 1411 Golden
Gate avenue, and Harry McHenry of
927 Eddy street.
The story told by the men after
they had been arrested was that they
had gone out to the beach early
in the morning and spent some time
in various resorts along the boule-
ward. Miss Earl, they said, had had
a number of drinks with them, and
when they started back from the
beach she was as jovial as the rest.
AS they were going through the park
it was suddenly discovered that she
had tainted In the hope that she
might still be alive they hurried to
the hospital, but when they reached
there she was dead.

constructed as to accommodate more
pupils if necessary. The two rooms

they are contemplating building for
that figure in Salt Lake. We are
quite certain that the advice he gave
us was about right, as he is dis
interested party We therefore
recommend that the trustees be re-
quested to continue as they started y
A. J. Fesler addressed the club and
asked Mr.. Neill whether he and the
other members of the committee had
examined the mortar that is being
used in the foundation of the struc-
ture.
He replied that Mr.. Whitehead and
Mr.. Schmittroth had examined it and
pronounced the foundation strong
enough to support the Washington
monument.
Il guess I'm natural born kick
err" said Mr.. Fesler, "but | think
know something about the quality of
the material being used in the con-
struction of that foundation. Cen
tlemen, | picked out this handful of
pebbles from the mortar box.
He held up a handful of pebbles
about the size of marbles and asked
whether they thought that such NOR
tar should be used in the structure.
I'm holding these up to the tax
payers of Ely. Now, I want some
body to deny it."
'I'll deny that" said A. S. Price,
the architect of the building. I'm
the architect of the structure and
I've watched the work and know it
to be all right. You might have
found the pebbles in the concrete but
they are not in the mortar unless
some one threw them into the box. "
'I'll ask Judge Crump to corrobo-
rate my Statements said Mr. Fes-
Ter.
"Yes, those pebbles were found as
Mr. Fesler stated" replied the judge.

dation and if you find pebbles in it
then it will be different.
'I'll guarantee to pick out a hat
full in ten minutes" said Mr.. Fesler.

now" replied the architect.
Some one suggested that the in
spection had better be postponed un-
til this morning at 10 O'Clock, when
Old Sol would accommodate the gen.
tlemen.
I'D like to know where the other
four rooms are to come in said Mr..
Spencer.

to the school house proper and the
architect explained that there would
be four class rooms "a by 2S, one

SAID THAT THEIR
TROUT HAD SPOILED

Exactly rs people were awaiting
the arrival of Flake Crawford and
Frank Watt at the Northern hotel
last night. They had cause to wait
for these two gentlemen who had just
returned from an outing at Steptoe
creek. These rs men had not part
taken of food for an entire day. as
they were saving their appetites for
trout and were bent on having the
fish. Hadn't Crawford and Watt
promised them plenty of the delicious
trout?
Well, the two gentlemen arrived,
but the fish didn't. No, it wasn't
that they had not caught any, be-
cause they caught $50 trout. At
least they said they did
But where are the trout?" asked
one of the hungry men.
"Well, SIR said Crawford,
they're by the roadside. We caught
the finest trout you ever saw, but
just as we were coming in town we
ascertained that they had spoiled and
we threw them by the roadside. You
don't know how disappointed we
are"
YES" said Watt, "and one weigh
ed Is pounds. We caught him in an
ice-cold lake and it took both of us
and our wives to land him. He was
salmon trout. He spoiled also,
though"
The IS men departed, all very
much disappointed, and many of
them wondering as to whether they
were handed fish story

SULLIVAN AND RICE
DECLARED |NS0lVENT
EVIDENCE SHOWED CONDUCTED
BUSINESS WITHOUT A CENT
OF CAPITAL STOCK.

RENO, Aug. ia receiver will
be appointed for Sullivan & Rice
Qnc.) 1t is stated that liabilities
of over $4,000 remain to be paid.
Evidence produced in the district
court here Saturday showed that Sui
Ivan & Rice Unc.) conducted bust
ness of mining promotion in Nevada,
advertising for business throughout
the east and suppressing criticism
through the west without cent of
capital stock and with no assets at
the time such assets, according to
the laws of this state, should have
been their possessions.
Judge Massey, defending l.. NJ.
Sullivan of the charge of grand lar
ceny for stealing the books of the
corporation, told the court that the
majority of the stock in the COM
pany was held by G. G. Rice and his
wife, the former of whom paid about
$4,000 and the latter getting her
share without paying a dollar.
One of the features of the trial was
the statement that Larry Sullivan,
former millionaire and king of gam
blers, cannot write more than to sign
his own name and reads even large
printing with difficulty.
Said Attorney Massey, defending
Sullivan: 1T would be crime TO
allow Sullivan & Rice to continue i'm
this business, crime to turn back
the books to G. G. Rice that he may
further prey on the public and the
stock holders by false entries and mis-
representations. We show misman-
agement, fraud and insolvency and
ask receiver for this business" The
receivership was agreed on by the
Rice & Sullivan attorneys.

ABOUT To LEAVE
WHEN ARRESTED
THOMAS COSTELLO CHARGED
WITH PASSING A WORTH
LESS CHECK.
OWES THE NORTHERN HOTEL $500
Won Judgment in Suit for $4,000
His Attorney Explains Reason
for Acts.
OWES THE NORTHERN HOTEL $500

Just as Thomas Costello was about
to board the train yesterday morn
ing Deputy Sheriff Moorman placed
him under arrest on the charge of
passing worthless check
1t seems he owed the Northern ho-
tel about $500 and that the manage
ment had heard he was about to
leave, SO notified the officer to be on
the lookout for him. Sure enough
Moorman caught Costello as he was
about to depart. He is now anguish
ing in the county Jail.
The complaint reads that he passed
a worthless check upon Nye Broth
ers' establishment, George w. Hog
gan having sworn to the complaint.
The check alleged to be of no value
was as follows:
ELY, New, July 16. 1907.
1.-The First National Bank.
PAY to the order of Tom S. Co.'S
tello, $40. Costello e Newhall." !"
The prisoner has had numerous
checks cashed here but the District
Attorney is not ready to state wheth-
er any others are worthless. 1t is
said that several checks drawn on
the State Bank and Trust Company
of Tonopah and signed by Costello
& Newhall have been returned to To-
cal business houses marked mo
funds.
Attorney Shwayder, of the firm of
Belford & Shwayder, who represent
Costello in the criminal action, stat
ed to a News representative that the
defendant had no intention of de-
frauding anyone. According to. his
story he was waiting for judgment in
a case that has been on appeal. Some
time ago he and LeOna Newhall grub
staked prospector who found some
rich properties The latter refused
to divide and suit was brought, Cos
tello & Newhall receiving Judgment
for $4,000. The case was appealed,
but recently Thomas S. Ford, attor-
ney for the other side, offered to
compromise by giving him SIS, 200
cash. His attorneys, Mcintosh &
Cook of Tonopah, wrote advising him
not to compromise. Anyway, it is
said Costello expected money daily
and as he was short, drew these small
checks in order to live, intending to
make good as soon as he received the
money due him.
He informed the day clerk at the
hotel about leaving, but did not say
anything to. the manager. 1t seems
the hotel allowed him credit upon the
showing he made in regard to the
Judgment.
