NOT FIT FOR WILD ANIMALS Dunn Condemns Oakland's Vile City Prison. OAKLAND, Feb. 12—The HealthOfficer stated to-day that unless something be done with the City Prison he will proceed to placard it and declare it unfit for human habitation. This will make it a misdemeanor to put & man in prison after he is arrested. “The present state of our City Prison,”saidthe Health Officer in hisofficial re- port, “is a blot on the escutcheon of Oakland. Overcrowded, low and poorly drained, infested with vermin that cannot be destroyed and permeated with divers odors, forms a very antithesis of the sanitary ideal of a prison. The cells are all located in a cellar unfit for caging wild animals, not to speak of confining human beings. The larger cells are fearfully overcrowded, and all are practically never reached by the rays of the sun. Thus the natural damp- ness of the place is made to ever threaten an epidemic among those confined in the prison. One of these larger cells is used for the female prisoners, and into it are crowded all classes of female malefactors, no opportunity for segregation being given. To reach the cells occupied by another class—the morphine fiends, one must wend his way through narrow alley ways to finally reach two dark, damp and malodorous rooms, into which are crowded nine or ten mor- phi-maniacs. No recommendations for alterations can be made, for the place, being absolutely inadequate in size and location for the purpose to which it is put, nothing short of condemnation will suffice. Therefore, I pray that the City Council of Oakland will, as soon as possible, set about the building of a new City Prison, in which the poor unfortunates confined within its walls can be hu- manely treated. “The most crying need of the City Prison 1s a hospital annex, where sick patients can receive proper medical attendance and care. At the present sick prisoners are kept in the same or similar cells and subjected to the same dis- comforts as are the healthy. Health Officer MOST UNSAVORY RECORD.

Peters was the foremost pursuer and ran up to Distel, shoving his revolver into his face, with the remark: “Who are you?"” “No matter,” was the response; ‘there goes your man,” pointing to Nelson, fleeing down Powell street, Distel also ran along with the officers, and bears evidence to the truth of their statements that Nelson was around the ‘corner when the shot rang out. He was the first, besides the officers, to reach the body.. Nobody else arrived on the scene for several minut. That it was a sulcide is further proved by the fact that the revolver of the dead burglar had three chambers emptied, » having been discharged at the officers, and evidently one at himself. About six weeks ago he was found in Gus Schultz's room, at 2 Bush street, Schultz having been ar- rested for burglary. At that time he was searched by Detectives Bee and SEMENTS. “Those who cannot originate | FULL SET OF TEETH | GOLD CROWNS, 22-K. 3.50 up PAINLESS DENTISTRY. $5.00 up | SILVER FILLING. GOLD FILLING. .

Lally has acquired a splendid church property, on which Is a dwelling, that will in future be used as the clergy house of the parish. Rev. Father Lally has only been a few weeks In charge of the parish at Hay- wards, but he has already laid the foundation for extending the scope of church work. The town has long needed a clergy house, and Father Lally at once set about acquiring one. He entered into negotlations with John Ruppricht and se- lected a plat of two and a half acres adjoining the church. There is a modern dwelling on this property, and to-day the purchase was completed, and will be at once used for the needs of the parish. It is the Intention of the pastor to erect in the future a new church that shall be large enough for the growing town, and a convent school is also to be erected. The site 18 one of the flnest in town, and is located on a hill, from which can be seen the bay and adjoining towns. It is considered one of the best church properties in Alameda County. Father Lally came to Haywards from Half- moan Rav and Dixon, and is already very popular in his new parish. 1 1d § to 0 against them, the ex-college men | As | THE BARONESS WILL SING Marie von Zieber to Ap- pear at the Fair.

The management of the Mining Fair have prepared an elaborate programme for to-day, and a large crowd is ex- pected to be in attendance. In the af- ternoon the Martels will appear in their | popular and daring bicycle riding act, and this will be followed by a sacred concert to be rendered by Bennett's band. At night there will be a special con- cert of unusual excellence, at which the celebrated prima donna, Baroness Marie von Zieber, will sing. She will render two solos of her own selection. The baroness is quite noted in'the mus- ical world. She is said to possess a soprano of wonderful range, tone and sympathy. At one time she traveled in the East as the soloist of Sousa’s band. and scored a triumph by her ar- tistic ability. Lincoln day was observed at the Fair yesterday with lengthy _and elaborate exercises. The programme was ar- ranged by W. W. Stone, the president of the Lincoln Monument Fund, and was successfully carried out. A large | number of school children participated and helped to make the occasfon a suc- cess. The Horace Mann, Hamilton, Burnett, Mission and Hearst schools were represented by their drill corps, and in addition to these there were del- egations from'the other schoolr of the city. The drilling of the different schools was excellent and greatly en- joyed by the crowd. Miss C. F: Starke, of the Hearst Grammar School, read Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, and there was singing by a boys' quartet. All the school children sang ‘“America” with great effect. The management of the Falr is par- ticularly pleased with the action of C. L. Barrington, of the Board of Edu- cation, in granting their request that the children of the different schools be given on certain days a half holiday in which to visit the Fair. A schedule | has been arranged for the various | schools, and Tuesday will be the open- ing day, at which time the pupils of the Jefferson, Adams, Agassiz, Bernal, Broadway, Buena Vista, Burnett and Longfellow schools will visit the Fair.

SENT FREE TO MEN The State Medioal Institute Disoovers a Remarkable Remedy for Lost Vigor. ARE SENDING FREE A TRIAL PACKAGE TO ALL WHO WRITE. Free samples of a most remarkable remedy are being distributed by the State Medical Institute, Fort Wayne, Ind. It cured so many men who had battled for vears against the mental and physical suffering of lost manhood that the insti- tute has decided to distribute free trial packages to all who write. It is a home treatment and all men who suffer with any form of sexual weakness resulting from youthful folly, premature loss of strength and gnemory, weak back, varico- cele, or emacfation of parts can now cure themselves at home. The remedy has a peculiarly grateful effect of warmth and seems to act direct to the desired location giving atrer‘n{th and development just where it is needed. It cures all the ills and troubles that come from years of misuse of the natural functions and has been an absolute suc- cess in all cases. A request to the Staty ical Institute, 193 First National Bank Bullding, Fort Wayne, Ind., stating that you desire one of their free trial pack- ages will be complied with. The institute is desirous of reaching that great class of men who are unable to leave home to be treated and the free sample will en- able them to see how easy it is to be cured of sexual weakness when the proper remedies are employed. The in- stitute makes no restrictions. Any man who writes will be sent a free sample, carefully sealed in a plain package so that its recipient need have no fear of embarrassment or publicity. Readers are requested to write without delay.
