Rubbish In The Streets as1
Rl4tiDu On Sidewalks

The County Commissioners some lime
since passed an ordinance forbidding
the placing of rubbish in the streets.
and the recent Legislature passed Il law
making il n miSlemeanor to place
refuse. slop. garbage. etc. i'll the streets
alleys. or OH the sidewalks or vacant or
occupied lots of II nninc"rporated
town in Nevada.
Complaint has been made to the
officers about every day violations OF
these regulations. The undersigned
has therefore directed them to arrest
all violators of the same. Whether the
law as it stands, is wise or good is not o
matter for the officers to decide. I'll
law is in effect, whether good or bad,
and the officers have no option. They
cannot forbid one nan violating the
law, and Mt the same time permit
another to violate tt.
Numerous complaints have been
made also in regard to reckless riding
Of bicycles on sidewalks. The officers
have therefore been requested tn see to
it that the ordinance forbidding riding
on sidewalkes be enforced.
1t is hoped the public will heed this
warning and avoid arrests.

The Calhoun Case

The failure of the jury i'll the Cal
terrible disappointment to the people
of San Francisco. After five months
of hard work. the jury that patiently
listened to the evidence was unable To
agree upon the guilt OF innocence of
the defendant. As the Jury stood ten
to two for acquittal, Mr.. Calhoun. in
his published statement. regards the
large majority of the jury in his favor
as q substantial ~vindicatiOn.
The writer cannot 5 regard it, nor
does he see how one familiar with the
situation in San Francisco can come to
any such conclusion. The escape of
Calhoun from conviction is not the
first time a wealthy man accused of
bribery has escaped punishment, nor
will it be the last so long as the law
leaves 81 many loopholes for Il wealthy
criminal. Had Calhoun been n com
paratively poor man he wonld have
been i'll San Quentin long ago.
We do not believe that any zane man
doubts that Calhoun furnished the
money to brihc the board of supervisors
of San Francisco to pass the overhead
trolley franchise. IL he did not, why
has there not been some explanation OF
the $500, 900 that was telegraphed by
him to the United States mint and paid
by its officers to Ford, Abbott and Ruef'
If that was All honest transaction, il
Yves not necessary for the treasurer oil
the United Railway Company to skin
out to New York and send the com
pany'S books out of the jurisdiction OF
the California courts. Not one wore
has Patrick Calhoun or any of hi.
associates ever ute red that woult
throw any light III this transaction.
Immediately after the earthquake,
when San Francisco was bleeding a
every pore, Patrick Calhoun and hi
associates schemed to rob it's citizens o
a valuable street railway franchise
By the aid vi gold and a cvi rupt mayo

facts successfully deny this statement
II they cannot how can they consist

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when m- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gouJ gravel, disorders of the cycsight and rearing, dizziness irregular heart debility, drowsincsS, dropsE deposits ir the urine, etc. But if You keep the filters right you will have no tr0ublc with your kidneys.
 W. A. Hawkins, G59 Ncsler Way, Seattle, Wash, says: "It gives me pleasure to confirm the statement l gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as the relief l obtained from their use has proven permanent. suffered from an acute attack of kidney uou- tle and though I used remedy after remedy, 1 was unable to find relief had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of thu kidney sccrctions.

Testing This Spring.
When sweeping. says Good House.
keeping, as much furniture as possi-
BILE should be removed from the room.
The remainder should be covered with
coarse. unbleached cotton cases kept
on hand for this purpose. Pictures.
mantels and mirrors should be busted
and then covered with cases made Of
the same material. While the sweep
ing Is being done the doors should be
closed and the windows opened.
Mating should be swept with soft
cloth or brush and then gone over with
a damp cloth to remove the dust. Soap
must not be used. as 1t is likely to dis
color the mating. Soiled spots may be
removed by rubbing thu mating with
a cloth wrung out In hot water.
Windows must be thoroughly busted
before washing and the dirt removed
from corners and crevices with a
wooden skewer and a piece Of cloth.
The glass may then be washed In clear,
warm water containing little ammo
mia. The washing cloth should be
damp rather than dripping wet. The
cloth should be rinsed frequently. The
windows must be dried with clean,
soft cloth and polished with paper.
To clean cut glass use soft brush
and warm water containing little am
monia. Try to cover the glass with
the brush thoroughly in orler that
each little crevice shall be reached.
Dry the glass Immediately. and If
sawdust is available sprinkle 1t freely
over the glass and let ii remain for
some time. Then remove 1t with a
soft brush. rub lightly with a clean,
soft cloth. and the cut glass win be
clear and sparkling.
China dishes should be scraped Of all
food, rinsed In cold water and washed
In warm. soapy water IL there is gilt

soap.
The kitchen sink and the sink In the
buffers pantry are likely to be in q
greasy. unhygienic condition unless
means Of prevention are taken These
sinks should be thoroughly flushed sew

lowed by cold water.
Almost every set bowl contains 8
groove, inside and around the top. In
which dirt IS likely to settle and re

lected too long this causes a peculiar
and disagreeable odor. for the cause o.
which even good housekeepers search
