tleatcr soerS here Will witness the
foremost farce comedy success of the
season
Mrs. Temples Telegram is this
season meeting even q greater degree
Of popularity that was accorded it last
The success attained by this brilliant
and mirth provoking play has been
Of such proportions that many other
comedies fashioned along similar lines
have been Offered the theater going
public, but as none of them. from
Whatever standpoint considered even
approaches this most remarkable of
farccs Mrs. Temples telegram con-
tinues this year as last the re gning
comedy success 1t IS Impossible by
means of printed words to convey a
correct idea of the extraordinary num-
Der of clean. wholesome, fun provoking
scenes and speeches presented during
the three acts of this play. Suffice it
that the consensus of expert opinion of
the entire English speaking world has
it that taken all in all, this comedy,
based on the sending of an innocent lit
tie telegram by Mrs Jack Temple is by
far the best play of its class present
ed in the past decade. and that it will
be many long years ere its equal will
be reproduced.
The company is headed by the brill
liant Miss Lavinia Shannon and the
other players are of uniform excellence.
Each individual member of the COM

No Sufferer Of Kidney Trouble
Should Leave II untried.

That the readers OF this paper an
preciatc advice when given in good
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one well-known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
''vegeta bic prescription many times
within the past two weeks. The an
mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many
cases of kidney complaint and rheu-
matism here, relieving pain and mis-
cry, especially among the older popu-
lation, who are always suffering more
or less with bladder and urinary trou-
bles, backache and particularly rheu-
matism.
Another well-known druggist asks
US to continue the announcement Of
the prescription. 1t is doing SO much
real good here, he continues. that it
would be Il crime not to do 50. 1t can
not be repeated too often, and further
states many cases of remarkable
cures wrought.
The following is the prescription.

HOPEFUL FOR ALL
BOND PROJECTS
Supervisors Urge Voters to In
dorse Every Item at
the Polls
Necessity of Fixing Interest at
Five Per Cent Is Fully
Explained

Supervisors Giapnini. McLeran and
addressed meetings throughout the city
In behalf of the bond issue are hopeful
that all of the projects will receive the
Endorsement of the voters at the spe-
cial election which will be held tonor-
row. They found some little opposi-
tion to the several propositions on the
ground that per cent was too high
rate of interest TO pay on the bonds.
This objection was easily met with sta
tistics from other cities showing that
the rate was not too high. About
100000 worth of per cent miscellane-
Gus improvement bonds were recently
offered for sale by the city of Alameda
and q premium OF only 500 was re-
ceived on this sum.
OF an authorized issue of $23 ,000
per cent bonds for the Owens river
project, TO supply Los Angeles with
water. approximately only s500,000
worth of the bonds have been sold.
New York city recently issued bonds
bearing AZ per cent. as 1t had been
found impossible 10 sell them at a
lower rate of interest. The savings
banks in New York now receive per
cent net on loans.
The supervisors desire to impress 1t
upon the minds. Of the electors that
failure to vote for any OF the projects
practically is q vote against 1t. for II
requires two-thirds of the votes cast
at the election to carry a proposition
1t is not two-thirds Of the vote cast for
the particular project, but two-thirds
of the entire ballots cast II 10000
votes are polled 1t will require 10000
votes to carry each project. One Of the
propositions might receive 1900 votes
in favor and none against. yet ii would
not carry, having failed to receive
10000. two-thirds OF the total vote at
the election.

upon yesterday when Supervisors NUT
ply and Jennings resumed the work OF
preparing the budget for the next fs-
cal year, which begins July l.
Among the items furnished by the
board OF public works was $3s2,ooo
for new frehouses and $3S.560 for re-
pairs to the buildings in use.
Fire Chief Shaughnessy. being more
familiar with the needs of the depart
ment than the works board commits
sioners. was called upon TO explain the
character of hrehouses II was proposed
TO build It then was learned that the
figures fled were for class A struc-
lures
FAVOR CLASS BUILDINGS
Supervisors Jennings and Murphy
were OF the opinion that class c build
3ngs, which could be erected at much
less cost, would fully answer all pur-
poses and Chief Shaughnessy agreed
with them. Shaughnessy suggested,
how ever, that the corporation yard
buildings should be OF class A con-
struction. as all OF the valuable prop
~ u N4-C 44Dl IL dSlAd4
use will be stored there. The super
visors admitted the value OF the sug-
gestion and expressed themselves in
favor OF exempting the corporation
yard from the class c rule.
The works board had asked for about
20 new IRE department buildings, but
VIII have 70 be content with less than
half that number. owing to the flnan-
clal condition of the city. Chief
Shaughnessy was asked 10 enumerste
the buildings most needed at this time
and submitted the following:
FIREHoUsEs NEEDED
Engine Pacific street between
Montgomery and 'Sansome, cost $SS, 600.
Truck l-O'Farrel street near Grant

tina. cost ss2.seo.

ShSushnessy recommended that pro-
vision be made for the purchase Of a
lot IN LeavenWorCh street near Clay. as
a frehouse Is needed in that district,
which is hilly and not easily reached BY
the companies in the adjoining sections.
