Giles, a conv- lescent typhoid fever patient domiciled on North Ninth stieat. Mr. Grandeimeyer is 97 years old, with the appearance of & well-preserved mnan of 60. He insix feet tall and weighs 240 pounds. His figure is erect, his face is without wrinkles, with a flowing, snow- white mustache, and his head is sur- mounted by a wealth of white hair. Mr. Grandelmeyer says that he bas a third set of natural teeth, which began growing in his seventy-second year, and they are as rezular and white as any that can be pro- cured by the highest-priced dentist.

Eisie Johnson, an Inmate, Escopes From Her Cell and Commits Suicide by Hanging. UKIAH, CAL., Jan. 12.—Eisie Johnson, an inmate of the State Asylum for the In- sane at Talmage, near this place, was iound hanging by the neck in alavatory in the yard of the female depariment of that institution last evening. Coroner J. H. Barker held an inquest at the asylum this morning, and the jury found that death resuited from strangulation. She was 39 years of age, and a native of Sweden. No blame is attached to officials of the asylum. It appears that the woman in some manner obtained lesthern lacing used in connection with ihe strait- jacket for patients, and, tying one end of this to a joist in the lavatory and theother end around her neck, she stepped from a chsir on which she was standing. When found her feet were two feet from the floor. She had escaped from her cell by breaking the lock of the window. e L Reward for Outtaw Moralss. SACREAMENTO, Car.

Soutk-Bound Express Sionped ‘Within a Few Feet of an Op:n Switeh. STOCKTON, CAL., Jan. 12.—The vicinity of Ripon, in this county, has been terror- ized by trampsduring the past week, and several attempts have been made to ditch and rob trains. Last night two switches were broken and thrown open to derail a Southern Pacific ypassenger trzin, but those who made the attempt were evi- dently novices at the business, and the train ran on to the siding insteaa of poing off the track. The break was fixed by men from the car shops, who were sent from Lathrop, and the track was in good order when the freight went by during the night. Not anticipating a repetition of last night’s affair, the switch at Ripon was not guarded, and at 8:18 o’clock this morn- ing when the south-bound passenger went by th® switches were found to be broken in the same manner as they were last night. Orly the prompt action of the en- gineer in reversing the engine averted a catastrophe. He succeeded in stopping the train before it ran into th& open switch and then the engine and cars were run on to a siding while the broken track and switch were repaired. The crime was not reported to the Sher- iff’s office here, but Sheriff Cunningham will have the breaking of the tracks and switches investizated. Constable John- son, who lives not far from Ripon, is at work on the case, and hopes to have the would-be wreckers in custody before Jong. The residents about Ripon attribute the attempt to the band of tramps which has infested that community of late. It is believed that the tramps intended to diteh the train and then get such plunder as they could from the passengers, Last Saturday night they attempted to throw the switch open and wreck a train, but the break was discovered und repaired in time to prevent the catastrophe they had planned. STOCKTON'S REFORM WAVE. Commercial Association Strives for Econ- omy and a Lessening of Taxes. STOCKTON, CAv., Jan. 12—The rooms of the Stockton Commercisl Association were crowded to-night by the members and other citizens, who assembled to dis- cuss municipal reforms. A larce delega- tion of property-owners was present, and there was some very caustic talk with ref- | erence to the great amount of money ex- pended during the past year on street im- provements. John Milan in a hot speech declared that the taxpayers and owners of realty were being swindled by the work on the streets that they were com pelled to pay for. He said that not a single piece of work had been done properly. Street Suverintendent Bidwell de- manded to know of a single street that had nov been properly macadamized. An acrimonious debate foliowed and finally grew so beated that Cnairman Buell had to call a halt in the proceedings. George ‘W. Patterson of the woolen-mills sug- gested that the meeting had not been called to inquire into the condition of city officials, but to devise ways by which all public work in the future might be done in a better manner. Itwas finally decided to appoint a committee to investigate all public work now being done, and to sugz- gest such improvements as may be for the best interest of the cit; ADVENTURE AT DESOLATION. Prospector Treed by Two Bears Is Saved by Virtue of His Lusty Yelling for Help. PORTLAND, Ogr., Jan. 12— Elmer Thornburg, a miner living at Granite, Or., is just back from Desolation in tue North Fork country. While there looking after some of his prospects he had a thrilling experience last week. He was seated on a bowlder on Friday noon when he heard grunts behind him, and looking around saw two full-grown black bears approach- ing. Thornburg ran. The hungry bears %uckly took the scent and were after him, hen he saw that the race would be an uneven one he climbed up among the branches of a biack pine tree. Fierce with hunger. their savage appetites just whet- ted sufficiently to make a fat man taste good, the bears put their huge paws around the slender tree trunk and en- deavored to reach him. Bieaking off a branch off the tree Thornburg rapped smartly each black nose within reach, and bruin would go away growline, only to return when the pam bad ceased. Thornburg began to yell at the top of his voice, in the hopes that his cries might reach camp. They finatly did, and John Dickinson and Ed Fiaherty came out with their rifles and made it possible for the unarmed and unharmea man to descend from his perch. Tne bears were killed. Pl S Petaluma Kallway Acoldent. - PETALUMA. Can, Jan. 12.—As the north-bound train was approaching the station at 9:30 o’clock this mornin< it crashed into a carriage occupied by Mrs. A. Lacque, wno resides on the William'| Hill place, near town. The rear portion of the vehicle wasdemolished, and Mrs. Dacque was thrown violently to the ground, but fortunately away from t.e train. The horses tore Irom the carriage and escaped unhurt.

Lyon 1o Be Laid at Rest With the Simple Rites ot the Reform Burial Association. SBANTA CRUZ, CAL., Jun. 12.—The first burial in Santa Cruz under the rules of the Retorm Burial Association will occur tc-morrow morning. Dr. Phila A. Lyon, who died at her home on East Cliff yester- day, was a member of the association, the rules of which provide for a very simple method of preparine the body for burial and for the burial itsell. Embalming is resorted to only under extraordinary cir- cumstances, and the garments worn by the dead are of the simplest kind. The coffin must be plain and without orn menl, and the cost of burial shall not e: ceed $25. The family may omit mourn- ing apparel. Religious services are op- tional with the family, or the previously expressed wish of the deceased. A pecn- liarity of the rules governing burial is the section requiring that no hearse shall be used, an ordinary vebicle or other con- venient means being employed. Mrs. Lyon’s funeral will be conducted by Count Axell Wachtmeister of San Francisco. Mrs. Lyon was a member of San Lorenzo Branch Theosophical So- ciety, which was organized by the Coun- | tess Watchmeister last spring. She was also a member of the Patriotic Daughters of America and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. She hud resided in Santa Cruz since 1881. g s L, FIGHT TO0 A DRAW. Turner and Lewis Put Up a Game Contest Before the California Club at Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Jan, 12. — The Turner-Lewis ten-round contest under the auspices of the California Club to-night ended in a draw. It was fight from start to finish. Lewis cut out the work from start to finish. At the end of the round he had the colored man on the ropes. In the| third he repeatedly landed terrific blows, and Turner was st one time slightly grogey. Lewis failed to follow his ad- \-Almnge, and after hot infighting time was. called. In the sixth Turner had decidedly the best of it, but in the eighth Lewis ham- mered him all over the ring. The colored | boy proved that he was a glutton for pun- | ishment. The ninth round was especially vicious. In the infighting Lewis had the advantage and once or twice seemingly bad the black man at his mercy, but failed to tollow up his leads and the Stock- ton lad recovered like magic. Lewis tried to put his man outin the last round and both men fought like demons. Lewis had the better of it, Lut his plucky opponent was more than game and was fizhting when the gong sounded. Referee Thomas Nerton declared the tight a draw. —_——— SEATILE RANK FAILURE. Withdrawals of Depocits Wreck a Sav- ings Institution. SEATTLE, Wass., Jan. 12.—The Seattle Savings Bank suspended’ io-day, posting the following notice: This bank is closed by order of the directors. Depositors will be paid in full. The liabilities are $75,000, assets $100,000. F. L. Fehren, cashier, said there had been gradual withdrawals of deposits since the recent 8t. Paul and Chieago bank failures. The bank was established in 1891. The Seattle Savings Bank has been a large dealer in warrants, handling tor months three-fourtbs of those issued by King County. As tne deposits decreased the bank was compelled to dispose of its large line of warrants in order to_keep its cash up to the required reserve. This con- tinued until Monday, when some heavy depositors drsw out their money. The officers of the bank, realizing its pre- carious condition, cailed in the full board of directors last evening and, after a ses- sion Jasting until midnight, order:d the bank closed this morning. 1t is understood that the direct cause of the bank closing was the attempted with- drawal of county furds yesterday by the retiring County Treasurer, as his succes- sor requested the amount due to be paid in cash. One check for $5000 was pre- sented about 3 o’clock, bnt it was not hon- ored. Bondsmen of the new County | Treasurer object to having county funds placed in savings banks. —— 5AN JUSE SHIPMENTS. Fruit-Growers Prospered During the XYear Just Closed. SAN JOSE, Cavn, Jan. 12—The past year was a very prosperous one for the fruit-growers and vineyardists county. This is evidenced by the large overland shipments of all kinds of fruits and wine during the vear, the total shipments be- ing 88,385,115 pounds. This is a decrease of over 23,000,000 pounds as compared with 1895, but is accounted for by a | change in the manner of making up the accounts at the railroad offices. Almost the entire dried fruit crop has been so!d, and tbere will be no old stock on hand when the new season opens. Although the crop was not as heavy as Iast year, better prices have been obtained for fruit and wines.

HEALDSBURG SUES FOR STOLEN GOLD Sensational Raid on the ' City Hall in 1893 Recalled. Action Brought Against the Late Treasurer Mulligan’s Bondsmen, Asked to Pay the Amount Sto'en From the Vauits by Two Outlaws. SANTA ROSA, CaL., Jan. 12.—The cele- brated Healdsburg robbery case came up before the Buperior Court here to day. The action is brought by the city of Healdsburg to recover about $4000 from the bondsmen of George V. Mulligan, ex- City Treasurer. The defendants claim that Mulligan was the victim of a brutal robbery on the morning of October 30, 1893, and according to a recent ruling of the Supreme Court in this same case this, if proven, will constitute a good defense. The sensational robbery of the Healds- burg treasury will be long remembered m this vicinity., Whan the place was found open and the Treasurer missing upon that eventful October morning the people of Healdsburg were wild with excitement. The fire bell was rung and hundreds joined in the search for the missing man. He was found late in the afternoon hand- cuffed to a tree in the cemetery and wholly exhausted from the shock and ex- posure, Being far from robast and ofa highly sensitive nature, the unfortunate man did not rally and was soon buried in the cemetery where he had been 50 roughly used. Before his death Treasurer Mulligan re- lated now two men came to his home that morning and told him his brother-in-law was very sick. When he had bastily dressed and was leaving the house the | two men seized, bound and gagged him and on pain of instant death forced him to open the vault. Then came the arrest of a well-known young man of Healds- burg, who proved an alibi and at onceleit for Seotland. Now the bondsmen of the dead Treasurer are asked to pay the amount missing, and a prclongea strug- gle is looked for. LOS ANGELES SENSATION. Colonel Treat Accused by a Woman Client of Having Attempted to Swindle Her. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Jan. 12.—Colonel R. B. Treat, one of the best-known poli- ticians and lawyers in Southern Califor- nia,1s at present under acloud. He is charged by Mrs, Lizzie Elliott, a client, with attempts to swindle her in various transactions. Mrs. Eliiott, who owns considerable property in the city and bas quite a sum of money loaned out; called upon Deputy District Attorney James a few daysago and asked for a complaint against Colonel Treat, charging him with embezzlement. She stated to James that in July last she had employed Colonel Treat to collect in- terest on certain loane, agreeing to pay him $25 a quarter. The District Attorney advised the irate lady to delay her action uniil Colonel Treat_could be seen by the people’s law- yer. This was agreeable, and when the politician's attention was called to the mutter he ‘gcknowledged an indebteduess ot $50 to Mrs. Elliott and paid her $40 on account. The lady was then advised to bring a civil action for the balance. TnsEpnpers were no sooler filed than Mrs. Eifiott again called upon District Attorney James and stated that she had discovered a new cause of grievance sgainst Colonel Treat. She stated that some time ago she handed him $500 to pay on & real-estate transaction. The cheek was drawn 1n favor of Treat. A few days ago, she declared, she called upon tne person to whom the $500 was to have been paid and was greatly surprised to learn that Colonel Treat had paid only $450 oi the amount, hoiding back $50. Colonel Treat states that there is an un- settled account between Mrs. Elliott and himself, and that he has no fear of an embezzlement charge. His only offense, if any 1s needed, is that he paid himself an overdue bill for legal services. L Chief Glass Re-elected. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Jan. 12.—Chief of Police John M.

Credence Given His Dying Declaration That H: Fought With a Robber. PASADENA, Carn, Jan. 12.—David W. McAdams, the youwng Lamanda Park grocer who was mysteriously suot at his store yesterday morning, died at 5 o’clock this morning. The statement he made in regard to the tragedy, and which be ad- bered to until the last, was that between 2 and 3 Monday morning he was awakened by some one in his store where he slept. |- He pariially dressed, took his revolver, and by the light of a lamp burning in the store saw a masked man with drawn re- volver fifieen feet away, at the cash drawer. McAdams fired at the intruder, who sprang toward him and shot him at close range, thea escaping by the front en- trance. McAdams dragged himself to some sacks, where he lay groaning until morning, when he attracted the attention of atramp who was passing. As many of the circumstances were pe- culiar, the place being securely locked when McAdams was found, he being par- tially dressed and a window having been broken from the inside, it was believed by some that suicide was attempted, but nothing in the social or business life of the young man shows cause. Nothing was developed by the Coroner’s inquest in regard to his private life to lead to the conclusion that he committed suicide. At the inquest it was brought out that he had had some business difficulty with his former partuner, W. J. Crandall, but there was no pronounced ill felling so far as known. Mc Adams was a man of fine physique, perfect health, good habits, cheerful dis- position and was highly respected. He said his assailant was a larze man— heavier than himself. The tramp who first discovered him was a small man, and McAdams, who was conscious when found, made no charge against him. Me- Adams' brothers resent the suspicion of suicide. There was over $100 in the safe which had not been tampered with, and nothing was missing save some small change from the cash drawer, which McAdams®mizht bave taken himself. Constable Slater, who was among_the first upon the scene, could fird no traces of robbery, and he is of the opinion that the window was broken from the outside. The jury rendered a verdict of death by a pistol wound inflicted by a person un- known. SRR San Rafael Installation.

If you dress warmly and are careful do you still take colds sasily ? Yes, doctor. Do you perspire freely from the least exertion? Yes, doctor. You say you take colds in the summer months as much as you do during the winter months? Yes, doctor. Do you always have a cough ? Yes, doctor. You take cold so easily because your general system is below par. Your blood is thin and watery. Your organs of digestion are inactive. You must have a stimulant for the organs of digestion. You need a good appetizer. Then your blood will become rich and red, and you will get the rich, red bicod which is so necessary to build up the system and put your body in a condition to resist the at- mospheric changes.
