FALSE ENTRIES MADE.
Imprisoned Frisco Banker Said to
Have Confessed.

San Francisco, Dec l. j. Dalzell
Brown, the imprisoned manager Of the
California Safe Deposit and Trust
company, has made confession to the
bank commission that fictitious entries
were made in the books of the bank
The confession came after Brown had
been subjected to a long sweating
process by Bank Commissioners Gar
route and Sherer Finally, when
Brown was cornered, he blurted out,
Eyes, it's true; those entries do not
represent real transactions"
The entries which Brown has con-
fessed were false related to two items
each of 100000 which appeared as
assets of the bank. These items as
recorded on the books made it appear
that the California Safe Deposit and
Trust company had on deposit $780,
900 in each of the New York banks.
Brown maintained almost to the end
of the interview with the commissions
ers that the entries represented gen.
uine assets, but when pressed further
for complete explanation he broke
down and admitted the truth.

DRUGGIST SAYS IT
HURTS OTHER MEDICINES
People Here Are Now Taking Less
Patent Medicine and More
Home Remedies.

There are more cases of kidney
trouble here now than ever before,
while recent reports show that more
people succumb each year to some
form of kidney disease than any
other cause.
When there is sickness, examine
the urine. Rheumatism is only a
symptom of kidney trouble. 1t is
nothing more or less than excessive
uric acid in the blood, which the
sluggist, inactive kidneys have
failed to sift out, leaving it to de.
compose and settle about the joints
and muscles, causing intense suffer.
ing; freduently resulting in deform-
ity; often reaching the heart when
death ensues.
Pains across the back, frequent,
painful and suppressed urination
and other symptoms of weak bladder
are not the only signs of kidney
trouble; many cases of stomach
disease, headache, pain in the heart,
inactive liver, ETC., are but symp-
toms; the cause of which can be
traced to feeble, clogged kidneys.
A simple test of the urine is to
void a small quantity in bottle or
glass and let it stand over night,
if there is a reddish brick-dust sedi.
ment, or white, feecy substance
present either consult some reput.
able physician or take good vege.
table treatment. The following
prescription is recommended highly
in these cases, and the sufferer
should mix it at home. Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll and use in
teaspoonful doses after each meal
and at bedtime.
Where any of the symptoms
enumerated above are present, good
results are sure to follow Immediately
after the use Of this simple prescrip.

ASKS THE PoPE,s AID.
Don Carlos, the Pretender, Would
Gust King Alfonso.

Rome, Dec. 1.-THE pope received
in private audience Don Carlos of
Bourbon, the pretender to the Span.

hope that the pontiff would assist him

THE CITY FINANCES.

AS the financial policy of former Re-
publican administrations has been call
ed in question, and an attempt made to
show that refunding was detrimental
to the interests of the city, a few facts
from the records must prove of interest.
In 1897 Belfast elected ticket headed
by DR.. John M. Fletcher, pledged to
give the city a clean and business-like
administration. In other words, to con-
duct the affairs of the city on lines that
ensure success in the case of individuals.
In his first message, 1897, Mayor Fletch-
er stated that our liabilities had been
increased $500 40 during the prec eding
two years Qs956, E. F. Hanson, City,
and advised that the city should en-
deavor to refund as soon as possible, at
a lower rate of interest, the s49S, 700 in
6 per cent. bonds due August Is, 1898.
This suggestion was acted upon and ar
rangements completed for refunding
Dec 10th, when contract was closed
under which per cent. bonds would
take the place of the outstanding 6 per
cent. bonds, the city receiving prem
ium of 5.27 on the new issue. In his
second message, 1898, Mayor Fletcher
said: 81 congratulate the city on the
assurance of having it's bonded indebt-
edness reduced the present year $40, 700,
its interest account 800, and after
this year its interest account will be
reduced about $4,000 annually" Thus
when refunding was completed the city
instead Of paying 6 per cent. on $49S, 100,
Lad only to pay per cent. on s47S.O0o,
and for the first time since its construc-
ton the railroad became source of
revenue, the rental and the rebate on
the railroad tax exceeding by several
dollars the interest on the
bonded debt. The report of the city
treasurer in March, 1899, contains these
figures:
Ascertained liabilities, March '9S, S92, %
AScertained liabilities, March 80, SO, 1854 Sc
Reduction the past year. So 1915. rs
The municipal year closed with ST.
4s7.51 cash on hand.
The proposition to sell the railroad
stock owned by the city and apply the
proceeds to liquidating the city's in
lebtedness is not a new one. That
policy was decided upon under Re-
publican administration and every eff
fort was made to sell the stock Charles |
B. Hazeltine, Esq, then President of
-he Belfast & Moosehead Lake R. r.
Co., went to Portland to see Payson |
Fucker, then General Manager of the |
Maine Central and a personal friend,
out could get no offer for the stock: and |
Efforts in other directions were equally |
fruitless. Without placing the city's |
railroad stock in the hands of trustees !
20 protect the new issue of bonds, re-
funding could not have been carried |
)ut on such advantageous terms, if at |
all, and it may prove fortunate thing |
for the city that this was done.
