On cross-examination Sheehan’s $4000 compensation for the eight months he managed the bank had been allowed him by the board of directors, and that tech- nically Judge Hebbard had allowed bim no salary as receiver. Then Kahn strove to have Sheehan recite the amount of the property he had in his pessession when he asked Heboard for his discharge, but Attorney Shortridge contended that the bank books themselves were the best evi- dence on these matters. The lawyer was willing to waive every objection if Heb- bard’s attorneys would take the padlock off these records and allow the jury to see their contents, but his offer fell on deaf ea: ‘The books would remain sealed as long as Hebbard and his attorneys nad lungs wherewith to chant their choruses of protest. The minutesof the bank directors’ meet- ing on January 12, 1896, formed the subject of a lively wrangle. Becretary C.

Attorney Shortridge desired to lsarn if Sueenan had notdrawn a check for 2582 14 to pay the irrigation district’s claim, when in reality but $1800 was de- voted to this purpose. Judge Dainger- field, at Kahn’s request, ruled: out this evidence. Tue inciden* was, of course, one of the | matters that Marriott’s attorney desired 1o put before the jury, inasmuch as Shee- han was the representative of the court and Hebbard was in morals responsible for the doings of the man whom he had ght to be made public.

Sheehan's contract with the bank peo- ple for the sale of the real estate in the bank was not allowed to be shown to the jury.

Mrs. Pinkham's Explanation ofithe Uxiuaua.\ Number of Deaths and Prostrations Among Women. The great heat plague of August, 1896, was not without its lesson. One could not fail to notice in the long lists of the dead throughout this country, that so many of the victims were women in their thirties, and women between forty-five and fifty. The women who succumbed to the pro- tracted heat were women whose energies were exhausted by sufferings peculiar to their sex; women who, taking no thought of themselves, or who, attaching no ime portance to first symptoms, allowed their femule system to become run down. Constipation, capricious appetite, restlessness, forebodings of evil, vertigo, languor, and weak- ness, especially in the morning, an itching sensation which suddenly attacks one at night, or whenever the blood becomes overheated, are all warnings. Don’t wait too long to build up your strength, that is now a positive necessity! Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has spe- cific curative powers. Youcannotdo better \d than to commence a course of this grand medicine. By the neglect of first symptoms you will see by the following letter what terrible suffering came to Mrs. Craig, and how she was cured : T have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound and think it is the best medicine for women in the world. I was so weak and nervous that I thought I could not live from one day to the next. I had pro- lapsus uteri and leucorrheea and thought I was go- ing into consumption. 1 would get so faint I thought 1 would die. 1 had dragging pains in my back, burn- ing sensation down to my feet, and 5o many miserable feelings. People said that I looked like a dead - ‘woman. Doctors tried to cure me, but failed. I had given up when I heard of the Pinkham medicine. I got a bottle. I did not have much faith in it, but thought I would try it, and it made a new woman of \ me. I -v:ish 1 could get every lady in the land to try it, for it did for me what doctors could not do,"—Mes. SALLIE CRAIG, Baker’s Landing, Pa. | aad W, unpaid stock, and the actions of the bank directors in collecting it, was anothar bit of knowledge which Hebbard's attorneys would not aliow to reach the jary. Attorney T. Carl Spelling reiated that at the time of Sheehan’s discharge he had made a protest against it to Juage Heb- bard on behalf of someo? ti:e bank de- positors. on ground that a proper ao- | counting had not been filed. Spelling’s formal protest in court was read and in- troduced as evidence. Sheehan had han- dled a large amount of money, and it was but just to the stockholders and deposit- | ors that he give a good account of his stewardship. | Attorney John H. Durst, who was the | legal adviser of Dr. Boushey, the former | president of the bank, related some of tho | history of the many-sided legislation in- | dulged in by the board of directors. The cbief value of the testimony was Durst's statement that bis client was prevented from resigning after the bank failure, in order to make a place for one of the depositors’ choice by Judge Hebbard’s famous blanket injunction. Deputy County Treasurer Louis N.Jacobs was called 1o verify the fact that Hebbard had ordered the Ronrer fine to be re- funded by the Treasurer. The point is made by the defendant that when the §500 fine was paid into the city and county treasury it became public money, and that it was grossly improper for Judge Hebbard to take that money out of the treasury and give it to an attorney in the case. John Gamage, who was Hebbard's pri- vate detective in the campaign, has not yet been discovered. The Marriott people hove to have him on the witness-stand this morning, in which event the case in be- half of the newspaper man will probably be closed. FAIR ESTATE LAWYERS Executors Angus, Crothers and Good- fellow Want to Pay Their Attorneys. A formidable document was filed with Deputy County Clerk Northrup yesteraay, the sume being indorsed, “Petition of executors of the estate of James G. Fair, deceased, for order fixing and directing the payment of fees of their attorneys for probating the last will and testament of the deceased.” James 8. Angus, Thomas G. Crothers 8. Goodfellow, in their petition, make a statement of every act performed by them fron: the date of Senator Fair's death to the time of the admission of the will to probate. A full history of the liti- gation is given, inciuding a recital of the stealing of the original will, ana the sub- stitution of a copy; the presentation of the pencil will, and 1its subsequent with. drawal; the various acts that were neces- sary to meet the movements of the heirs and their attorneys, and generally the managemeut of the vast estate until the admission of the estate for probate.

Mitchell and Garret W, McEnerney are attorneys for the executors, and it is for their com- pensztion that Judge Slack is called on to examine the record of their labors, and Monday, the 17th in: at’ 10 o’clock, is the time set for the hearing of the peti- The reports of the grand officers were presented and referred to the committee for distribution. From the report of the grand master it appears that one new lodge was inetituted, three lodges were consoiidated, four sur- rendered their charters and one charter was restored. He visited 114 subordinate lodges and thirty-seven lodges of the de- greo of Rebekah, The report shows that during the year the grand master was a very busy man. The reportof the erand secretary, Georze T. Shaw, shows & decrease in the member- ship of 261, caused by the depres- sion in business; but the gain is isfactory, there being an excess over disbursements of $55,587 91, The as- sets of the lodges show an increase of $87,370 60 over the previous year. The average annual disbursement per member for seven years past has been $1580, The numbsr of lodges in the Btate 1s 350, with a membership of 30,282, The grand masier recommends that the minimum benefit be fixed at $2a week. Many lodges have becn unable to pay the $4 a week now demanded, and evaded re- sponsibility by deciding, whenever ossi- ble, that the applicants were suffering from old age and not from any specific ili- ness. He wasof the opinion thatif the lodges should be aliowed to y‘{y 2 a week they would be more liberal in deoiding be- tween old age and sickn and thus :nuld assist many a deserving old mem- er. He also recommended that all loages be compelled to place a limit to the amount & member could draw during illness. He says: *‘After the limit is drawn the lodge should be allowed to donate, in ad- dition to the minimum benefits, if neces- sary. Ido not think it for the best inter- est of the order for oneor two chronic cases to draw all the funds of a lodge and thus force the lodge to surrender its char. ter and leave nothing for the other faith- ful members when they are sick or dis- abled. The grand master advoeates a rednotion of the per capita tax, which should be made as low as possible in order to induce members to join, and to reduce the bur- dens of those already in the order. At the afternoon on the reports ot grisvances and appeals were all sastained. The Grand Lodge adjourned at 5:30 o’clock to meet again this morning, In the evening there will b8 an exempiifica- tion of the work by & team from Napa Lodge, which will work in the initiatory degree, and by one from Observatory Lotge of San Jose, to work in the first de. gree. ——ias THE REBEKAH ASSEMBLY.

Donoho, grand secretary, for their untiring efforts 1n behalf of the order. 2 After the committee on credentials had reporied the reports of the grand officers wero presented and referred. Mrs. Greenwood in her address said : Notwithstanding the financial cloud that Das been hovering over our fair Staio the past vear, it gives me pleasure to report that, with few exceptions, the lodges taroughout the State are in a prosperous condition financially and numericaily, our ranks having increased far beyond our expectations. The rainbow of promise spans the heavens, and the future Tooks bright, and, with the’ approving smile of hecven, what more could be asked of this barvest?

During the year 12 lodges were insti- tuted, and the grand president visited 128 lodges in the State. In closing her report Mrs. Greenwood returns thanks to Grand Master Watboys, Grand Secretary Shaw, to the New Age and California Odd Fellow and adds: Aiso for many notices and kindly words of commendation to the San Francisco CALL am I indebted. To Sister Mary E. Donoho, grand secretary, only one brought in close contactcan iuliy reaiize the value she is to the order; ever ready and willing 10 ald—the right woman in the right place, and (rust that her services may be continued to us for many years. The repor: of the grand secretary shows that 187 lodges reported to the assembly with 285 delezates. One charter wassur- rendered and five were recalled. Italso shows that the net gain in membership during the year was 903. The total re- ceipts were $10,818, including donations for the Orphans’ Home, and the disburse- ments $1732 10. At the a‘ternoon sessioa the only busi- ness transacted was the reading of the president’s report. Inthe evening there was an exemplifica- tion of the secret work of the order by a staff from the third district, San Jose, after which there was an impromp!u pro- gramme of literature and music and an address by Grand Master Warboys. et gt v VETERAN ODD FELLOWS.
