NEW MONEY ORDER PORN M
COURSE OF PRHPAIATION

Under recent law passed by con-
gress new form of money order is be-
ing prepared by the postofice depart
ment which will greatly simplify the
now rather complex method OF sending
money through the mails.
At present the issuing Office must
send to the paying Office a separate of
fetal advice, after receipt Of which the
money order is paid. Under the new
system the money order form will have
las distinctive feature detachable
coupon containing the necessary infor.
nation, which coupon must be present
ed to the postmaster of the paying
office.
In the new form the names Of the re-
mitter and payee will not appear ON the
money order proper, as they do at
present, but they will be ON the de-
tachable slip. The new forms viii be
placed in use as soon as tho supply Of
the old forms ID exhausted. @

physical and mental vigor to exercising
regularly, drinking plenty Of water and
breathing pure air. "The matter Of
life,'' he said in explaining his theory,

Will HOLD DAWN
OF GOLD FIESTA
Especial to Silver State.l

SACRAMENTO, August $50 great
is the demand for space for ex-
hibits at the coming state fair that the
directors of the California State Agri-
clural society are planning extensive
additions to the present accommoda-
tions at the fair grounds. New sheds.
corrals and stock pens are being
built, and namber of large tents,
with board floors, will be utilized to
house the myriad of exhibits.
Secretary Filcher is fairly over
whelmed with applications for space,
and the directors now assert positively
that the fair will be an extraordinary
success. This success will be largely
due to the energy of the leading bust
ness men of Sacramento in arranging
a Fiesta of the Dawn of Gold as an ad-
junct to the state fair. The. magnif-
cent program which has been prepared
for the fiesta, is powerful attraction.
Letters are received daily by the com
mittee, many of them from the far
eastern states, asking for information
and details about the fair and fiesta
1t is now believed that the original
estimate of 100000 visitors during fair
week will be revised. and it looks as
though that number would be greatly
exceeded.
All the leading hootels in Sacramento
are receiving a flood of letters asking
reservations during the fiesta, and at q
meeting of the general fiesta commit
tee last night, special committee was
appointed to arrange at once for an in
formation bureau and booking office
for the purpose of assisting visitors tc
secure accommodations during theil
stay in Sacramento. A list of all the
hotels and lodging houses will be pre-
pared to facilitate this work 1t II
also proposed to erect large numbeI
of tents in Capitol park to accommodate
the overflow.

AS will be noticed there are several
county and legislative officers in both
parties for which there are no candi-
dates. However, it is expected that
these vacancies will be filed by peti-
tion, it now requiring the signatures of
ten per cent of all the voters of the
county instead of only three per cent
of the party vote, as was the case in
all petitions filed up to today. There
will probably be no hurry in the mat
ter, as the law provides that these Pc
titions may be fled up to within thir-
ty days of election. As election day
this year falls on November s, candi-
dates will have until October 9 in
which to file their papers.

fled from quiet and peaceful home,
Rose Foster, aged %, daughter of
Joseph Foster, mining man of Phoebe

police station last night.
In company with her was Frank Col.

her home and "beatu it with him
across the country with the promise
That they would 60 to his home in
Pennsylvania and live happy and

At the police station the girl broke
down and in choked voice said:

read nor write, from her peaceful home
in Phoebe with the man who professed
to love her and who later ATTEMPTED
to make her live a life of shame. re-
veais tale of illiteracy and deepest
depravity. The young girl. who was
waitress in a restaurant in Phoebe.
met Collier about six months ago. At
that time he had just completed a
term in the Phoebe Jail for breaking
Jail at Caliente, New, where he was
being held on the charge of petty lar
eeny.
Each day the two met in the res
taurant and their friendship became
more warm. In June Collier proposed
to the young girl and was accepted.
The father of the girl, however, know
ing the past of the man who wished
to marry his daughter, asked the coun-i
ty clerk not to give a marriage IL
eense. His request was granted and
after several unsuccessful attempts to
get married the two decided to run
away

As Collier had little money and as
he had already borrowed all that the
girl had, they discovered that it was
next to useless to attempt to go by
passenger train. On June % Collier
presented piece of paper which he
told the girl would unite them in mar
riage if she signed it. As she could
Hot icdu anu couiu only write Der name,
she attached her signature to the piece
of paper and was made to believe that
they were married. On July 26. as
their life at Phoebe was becoming more
disagreeable. they decided to run
away
After the girl had dressed as man,
cutting short her hair. they left Phoebe
on the night Of July 26 and walked to
Panaea, distance of twelve miles
Here they swung under a freight train
and rode the rods as far as Calente
At Caliente they were thrown off the
train and after waiting some time they
got into boxcar and rode as far as
Milford.
Between these two stations brake
man found them in the ear and threat
ened to throw them off unless he
was given a piece of ''pocket" money.
Collier had SO. which he gave the
brakeman, and they rode in safety to
Milford. At Milford they were again
compelled to leave the train and after
waiting for some time they caught a
"blind" baggage and rode into Salt

Now that the furnace has been cleaned

James w. Bean, is getting ready to make
collections twice week instead of once
week. This year he will start the

until November 1. The twice-a-week
service will be installed for the win
ter, therefore, for all private dwellings OF
less than twenty-five rooms within the
fire limits of the city
The officials of the street cleaning de-
partment. in whose charge the ash col
iections are placed, say that all house
holders with kicks against the ashman
would do much better to call the boss
collector direct and make the complaint.
The contractor, James w. Bean, has a
telephone. Lincoln 1919. His address is
+th and NJ streets northeast. Complaints
sent to the District building will always
be attended TO by the street cleaning de-
partment, but the necessary visits Of in
spectors, reports, etc, are necessary be-
fore the bad service is corrected The
street cleaning department would rather
have ordinary complaints addressed to
the contractor
