Furthermore, it was a road the Scuthern Pacific couid not advantageously utiiize in connection with its system. “The report is not reliable,” said he; ‘‘we are not engaged in any movement looking to securing this road. There haye b-en no negotiations toward its ac- Juisition. We do not conuect with it. The Mount Lowe road runs from Alta- dena to Rubio by trolley, from Rubio to Mountain summit of to Alpine Tavern, near the unt Lowe, by eleciricity. is very picturesque, and the scenery wild.” M. “Crocker added that the Mount Lowe road was in debt to the Southern Pacific, the latter b ing one of a number of claimants, but that the Southern Pa cifics interest was not suflicient, how ever, 1o warrant it in getting oiler in- terests, or acquiring the road.

The store had been closed all Sunday, and how a fire could break out a few min- utes before miduight, of its own volition, i< one of the things that puzzle the Fire Marshal.

She reproached bim for what would appear to be the laudable de- sire 10 sever all connections with her.

Miss Etta Butler, the daughter of the weli-known merchant and angler, John Butler, had a narrow escape from drown- ing in boulder Creek last Saturday. Miss Butler isa good swimmer and is as much at_bome in the water asa trout, but on this occasion she was taken witk a cramp when swimming in a deep pool and sank twice in sight of her mother, who was standing on the bank of the stream. For- tunately a young man who had seen Miss Butler sink realized that she was in immi- nent dan.er and hastened to the spot. Plunging into the pool, he caught the young lady by the bair and swam ashore, much to the weeping delight of the mother, who bestowed kisses innumera- ble upon the daughter and blessings upon her rescuer, who felt a pardonsble pride in saving the life of a young and hand- RE ol 0% THE FULL PENALTY, A Brutal Hushand Who Beat His Wife With a Broom Meets His Just Deserts.

Abbott K:nney Begins Cutting Brush in the Valley. | | The Yosemite Commissioners have re- turned from the meeting of the board | recently held 1n the vallay. The sessions were important, lasting four days. Much | of the business conducted was designed to | promote the weifare of campers on the | | reservation. | An iwportant change under pressure from the Governor was the removal from | oflice of the old guardian, Galen Clarke, and the appointment in his place of Miles Wallace, the Disirict Attorney of Madera County. Miles, who stands close to Gov- | eraor Budd, intends to resign his county oftice and to ~urrender the practice of law in order to give his entire time to the du- ties of the guardianship. | Abbott Kinney, a Democrat, recently | appointed to the commission, is a forestry | | sbarp. He declared himself in favor of | cutting the brush from the floor of the | valley without delay. In tnis respect his | opinion differs widely from that frequent- ly expressed by the Sierra C uband the eminent authority of Jobn Muir. Kinney had his own way at the meeting, and was | authorized by the board to begin the work | of cutting out brurh. The slashing will begin in the Bridal Veil meadows. The | bosrd adopted the following: WiEREAS, The oldest occupants of the Yo- | semite Valley unite in the opinion that the clearing of the underbrush in tne valiey 1s an immediate necessity for the safety ana at- | tractiveness ol valiey; and whereas, the reasons advanced by Galen Clarke and others compeient to judge upon this malter appest 1o the commission 1o be good and sufficient, viz.: The increasing danger irom fire ud the y of extinguishing or limit- hat may start, the encroachment | jusgle growth upon the camping grounds G meadows, the shutting oul over exten. | sive areas of any view of the besuties and | wonders of the valiey; and whereas, the Legis- | lature of this State &t its last session passea an act directing this cleanng to be done and ap- propriated a sum of money to provide for the work; be increasing difficu ing any ot Resoived, That the guardian of the Yosemite | Valley is instructed 10 commence such clear- ing Gpon the valley, the sections to be deler- mined upo: the ‘inance committee as soon | as the ap intent of | s ‘ ‘ the com becomes availabie, the | nissic eing to use the | prese increase th satety and attractiveness of the Yosemite Val ley, and to avoid mistakes by taking up one section only saiter another has been finisned | and approved.

E. Kellogg So Declares in a Suit Against His Former Attorney. Says He Was Waylaid by a Runner for Ex- Judge Levy, The Lawyer Characterized the Suit as a Petty Att.mpt at Blackmail. Phillips & Temple, attorneys for Charle: A. Maun, yesterday brought suit against ex-Judge Walter H. Levy to com- pel an accounting of certain moneys received on behalf of and paid to E. E. Kellogg, son, and one of the heirs of C W. Kellogg, deceased. The money in question was the inheritance of E. Kellegg and it came into Levy’s posses- sion while acting as Kellogg's attorney. The allegations of the complaint are to the effect that Levy, aware that Kellogg would fall beir to a portion of his father’s estate, induced him, while under the in- fluence of liquor and a few days before the father's death, to sign a contract by which he (Levy) was to receive half of ail that Kellogg should receive from the es- tate in consideration of services in suits | to be brought against the estate; that the will provided that Kellogg should be cared for and provided with the neces- saries and comforts of life so long as he lived; that Levy sold out the life interest for the sum of $4715 and appropriated the half, together with other sums, and that now Kellogg is penniless. Charles A. Mau figures as plaintiff in the suit through baving taken it upon | himself as a friend of Keliogg and his as- signee, “in order to put 1 beyond the power of Levy to cajole or frighten him (Kelloge) into an abandonment of his " as he says. V. Kellogg, the father, died about April 12, 1895. The complaint recites that he had been married three times, and that he had been divorced from his second wife 1n order to marry the third, and that | a consideration for the consent of the sec- ond was a transfer 10 her of property valued at $500,000. The complaint savs E. E. Kellogg was the son of the first wife, and he was very dissipated; that he in a constant condition of intoxica- tion, and was besides addicted to the use of morphine. His father, certain of bLis son’s inability to take care of himself, made no provision in_his will for him other than to charge his widow and his daughter, to whom he willed all that he Lad, to see that he was provided with the necessaries and common comforts of lite. Kellogg the son had contemplated bring- ing suit against the second divorced wife, Rispan Kellogg, for a portion of the estate his father had given over to her as the consideration for not opposing the divorce proceedings. He had intended—so the complaint allezes—employing George A. Knight in this cause. A few days before | the death of C. W. Kellogg, the father, A E. Taylor, a saloon acquaintance of E. E. Kellogg, the son, calied upon him and in- auced him to %o to the oftice of Walter H. Levy and there sign the contract referred attorney in the proposed suits, and the consideration named gave him half of all that Kellogg should receive. Subsequently ; Levy had eifected an agreement with' tne ‘executors of the will by which they should be relieved of the trouble of caring for Kellogg during his life for a cash consideration of ${715. Afterward he secured $3000 from Rispah Kellogg in consideration of a release from all claims. It is charged that A. E. Taylor was en- gaged by Levy to bring Kelloeg to him, and that he was promised $500 for the service. To this Taylor makes an affi- davit. Kellogg in an affidavit declares it 10 be his belief that Levy, out of the $7 he received altogether, paid him only about §2500. He says Levy was employed in no htigation whatever in his behalf and incurred no expense ‘“‘in order to get the cesh money he lost and waived the provisions of the said will of my said fatber whereby I was to be provided for during my life.” He further alleges that $1000 wonld be liberal remuneration for Levy's services and his suit is 1o recover on tnat basis. Following is an aflidavit of A. E. Taylor, made a part of the complaint. Taylor de- clares, besides, that he received only §210 of the $500 promised him. Aflidavit of A. E.

TAYLOR JUSTIN GAT tary Public in and for the City and County of San Francisco, State of Canfornia. Judge Levy characterizes Kellogg's suit as a petly attempt at blackmuil. When seen last evening he exhibited a bunch of receipis signed by Kellogz and showing every cent he had ever collected for the man and turned over to him was ac- unted for to the complete satisfaction of everybody concerned. The Judge laughed at the claim of ellogg that he was intoxicated when he signed the papers entitling the attorney 1o half of what was recovered irom his stepmother, “If that is the case he must have been steadily drunk for two weeks, because the negoliations covered a period of that dura tion,” he said. My dealings with the man were upright and honorable through- out, and I never received a cent from him tuat I was not entitled to under my con- tract with him, and to which he fully acquiesced. *‘He has proved himself an ingrate. He bad not a cent when Reel Terry and I agreed to see if we counld not recover something for him from his fathe:’s es tate. I took care of him, and when we secured the money paid him every nickel that belonged to him. He has spent all of his money and has been striking me for a quarter and a half every day or two. I have given him at least $60 in this way and outof my own pocket. Iowed him nothing and it was a pure case of charity.” Reel B. Terry corroborates the Judge in every particuiar of his_story. He was assoc ated with himin Kellogg’s behalf. F. 8. Stratton, who iookea after Mrs. Kel- logg’s interests during the neeotiations, also asserts that Judge Levy’s dealings with the stepson were honorable, and that young Kellogg's story is without foun- dation.

FOOD COFFEE. A SOLILOQUY By Just a Common Every-Day Man. Restricted diet and no tobacco or col- fee Dr. says: That, or funeral. Might as well be funeral. Better try another Dr., get a tonic or something. Tried ali the kinds I know of already and always worse after taging them awhile. Dr. says my nervous system is poisonec with the drugs in Tobacco and Coffee. Other people can use them and be well. Still I believe they always do have some weak spot. Wonder if it’s so, that these poisonsdo center on some one organ o the body in some people and scatter over the nervous system in ot ers. I'm sick anyhow. Dr. says the only way to keep alive is to ave off the cause of the discase. Says no medicines will help me as long as I keep using the narcotic drugs. Oh, Lorc Post says “The most royal fun in all the world 1s the fun of being well.” Believe I had more fun in one hour and better feeiing right inside me when I was a boy and heatthy than [ ever got out of tobacco or coffee. Man’sa fool to trade off good health for anything on earth. Business goes right, home Plel!mll,k friends friendly, days bright and peace reigns when I'm well Devil to pay when [ ain’t. Take all kinds of risks with my health, that wou!dn’t think of taking in a busic ness ventur Plain I am going into physical banke rupicy sure. Wonder if I have any sense and nerve left? Only one way to stop the ruin. Wake up, be a kinz, an absolute mon- arch over body and it will do well its part as a trained servant. But once you let the servant rule and the love of authority makes trouble. We'll settie the question of management right now. Tobacco goes and coffee goes. Plain food and drink will rule, until I get well at least. A Lot drink at meals is all right, and as T don’t care for tea or cocoa and can't di- gest coffee, believe I'll try Postum Cere They say it is made from the nourishing part of grains and looks like the finest coffee—that one gets to liking it as much as they ever liked coffee. John Bradstreet works his brains to the tune of a big fortune every year and said vesterday his brains had been clearer be- cause his liver had a chance since he quit coffee and used Postum Cereal. Believe I'll stay in the procession a while lonzer. I notice it's the whisky, tobacco and coffee cranks that get it in the necl some way, from paralysis down, and be: lieve I'Il train with Old Mother Nature a while.

There Are Thousands of People Sufler- ing To-duy Who Have Not the Slightest Occasion to Do So. Some of the most deadly diseases from which bumanity is a comrzon sufferer caused by the entrance into the system, and the sub-equent growth there, of cer tain micro-orzanisms, or germs. These diseases have been aptly calied *filth dis- eases,”” becaus: the germs which cause them flourish most luxuriant!y in all sorts of organic dirt, or filth. Such germs com- monly occur in water drawn from a con- iaminated water supply, or in ice taken from contaminated ponds or rivers. Among the most common of germ diseases are typhoid fever, aiphtheria, cholera, cholera infantum and yellow fever. Ph sicians all agree that from 1mpure water the greatest danger ariser. And when it is remembered that the only really pure water is distilled water, that ics water is often proiific in disease germs, ana that even boiied water fails to purify it, it is at once seen how great is the danger that confronts us. The best advice which can people, whetner residing in city or country, is to make use of some pure, effectual stim- ulant which will keep the biood in healthy circulation and prevent contagious germs getting astronghold on a stagnant system. Nothing will do this so well as pure whis- key, and the pure whiskey best known to the world is Duffy’s pure malt. Not only will it keep the system in vis- orous condition, but its addition to even contaminated water will render it harm- —_— be given RATILROAD TRAVEL SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY. (PACITIC s¥sTEN.)
