New Location.

The Sullivan Bros, who have fol
some time past successfully conducted
gents furnishing store at Hickman,
are opening a second store in this city.
They come to Union City with all the
experience necessary for the building
up of large and successful business,
and their store, which is located in the
old Toggery quarters, will be stocked
with all that is good and seasonable for
men and young men.
Messrs. Hub and Cliff Sullivan will
have charge of the new store, while the
other two brothers will continue with
their business at Hickman. The Sulli-
van brothers are thorough business men.
They have grown up, one might say, in
the business in which they are now en-
gagged. And from their earliest ex7
perience they have made a close study
of the large and small details of the
business.
This new Union City store will be
in direct touch with the big Eastern
markets at all seasons, and their stock
will be so complete that they can be
outftters, not to a few men, but to all
men, carrying, as they will, such a
variety of styles and fabrics that any
person, with either fat or lean purse,
may get what he is looking for.
While Union City has other outfitting
stores, there is always ample room for
one more, provided it is a good one,
and the Sullivans bring with them to
your city the reputation of operating
none but first-class and successful stores.
You should drop by to see them.
They are easy to get acquainted with,
and will very much appreciate your
calls. advt.

Resolutions of Sympathy.

Once more we have been called to bow
in meek submission to Gods most holy
will in the loss of our dear friend, Judge
| Lawson.
We realized that he had lived his
three score years and ten and we felt
sure that his hopes for the future
were bright, but even then we were
grieved to give him up. We knew what
true friend he was, what happy ma
ture he possessed, and how we were
made to feel better by his encouraging
words, his bright, helpful thoughts and
his fatherly advice in so many ways.
The hearty hand grasp and the sweet
smile was a tonic to our hungry souls.
We loved him and his memory will live
in our hearts forever.
Resolved, That we as a missionary
society, and as individuals, do all we
can to brighten Miss Mary's lonely life
and make her feel that even though her
best friend on earth has gone that we
are her friends and want to aid her in
any way we can.
Resolved, That we extend 10 her our
heartfelt sympathy in this great sorrow
and pray that she may live to brighten
and bless the world as Der father has

how much money II would need for divi

HOLDS FRANKLIN
DENIED BRIBERY

Los Angeles, Cal, July l6.-P. ].
Piorette, Venice policeman, testified
In the barrow case yesterday to sever
al conversations he had with Bert
Franklin late in February and March
and May of this year, part OF them in
the presence of G. G. Watt, formerly
city clerk Of Ocean park. According to
Piorette, Franklin told them that Oar
row never gave him any money; that
he would never be sent TO prison for
the Lockwood bribery, as the district
attorneys Office wanted DarTow, not
him, and that District Attorney Freder-
icks was one OF his best friends, and
was under political obligations TO him.
Piorette's cross-emaination brought
counsel for Darrow and the prosecu-
ton into frequent clashes Assistant
District Attorney Ford forced the wit
ness to admit that he reported the
earlier conversations with Franklin to
Police Sergeant CavanaUgh, his super
Tor officer, in Venice; that Cavanaugh
told him 10 go out and get anything
further from Franklin that he could in
