SAN RAFAEL, April 30.—Cupid Bon- neau was considerably surprised a few days ago while engaged in the marriage license - traffic, accustomed as he is to incidénts of a peculiar nature, to have a good-looking South Sea Islander, dressed in immaculate style, drop into the | office and ask for the document that would make himself and some dusky belle one. The novelty of the affair lay not in the application for a license and the appearance of the man so much as it did_in the explanation given. “You ses,” remarked the appilcant, with a suave smile, “I came here several years ago from Fanning Island and brought my sweetheart with me. We entered the bonds of matrimony in accordance with the regular tribal customs, but residence under the protection of the American eagle has civilized us somewhat. A day or two ago my wife came to me and explained that some Caucasian friends had informed her we were not living ac- cording to the rules laid down by Hoyle; so I guess I want a marriage license.” ‘Bonneau gave the man the license and he went away happy, to be united later to his inamorata by a Christian minister in the parlors of the Tamalpais Hotel. e SAN MIGUEL MOURNS.

ST. LOUIS, April 30.—Local represen- tatives of powder manufacturing con- cerns were warned to-day that two Spanish spies were in town and were planning to blow up powder mills and magazines near St. Louls. The information was laid before Chief of Detectives Desmond and he imme- diately detailed men to investigate. The informant is Captain H. J. Bailes ; of the Cuban insurgent army, who has been in St. Louis about a month. His statements are positive and he says| these men have been gathering every possible bit of information about St. Louis. A third was with them, but he has gone to New York. The other two, | Captain Balles said, visited Jefferson Barracks and left for Eureka, Mo., to- day. The powder magazines of a num- ber of St. Louis powder companies are situated at Bureka and telegrams of warning have been sent there. S detao SAN RAFAEL EIGH SCHOOL.

P WRECKED BY AN EXPLOSION Buildings Destroyed and a Life Lost Near Auburn. Clipper Gap Company’s Plant in Placer: County Destroyed. Disaster - Supposed to Have Been Caused by a Bolt of Lighining During a Storm. AUBURN, April 30.—Buildings in Au- burn shook quite perceptibly at 5:30 o’clock to-night.. ‘As it had been thun- dering and lightning, most of the citi- zens thought nothing of it, but those living on an eminence saw a puff of white - smoke to- the north, which seemed to go up and explode like a bal- loon. . Some heard a report. Soon word came that the Clipper Gap | powder works had blown up. The re-| port was scon verified,.and it was| found the glazing and wheel mills had been struck by lightning.and the pow- der contained:therein exploded, reduc- ing the buildings to splinters. One man, Levi Hill, an old employe, who | had worked with powder for fifteen years, was killed. | Superintendent. W, H. Gaffett says the damage is comparatively slight. Monday of this week, having been shut down several months. But 6000 pounds of powder was blown up, and the dam- age to buildings ~and - all will not| amount to more than $600. | “You can say,” said Gaffett, “that the lightning struck both the glazing and the wheel mills simultaneousl and that no infernal Spaniard had any thing to do with it. The only lament- able part of it was the death of poor Hill. ' We will be running again in four or five days.” The Clipper Gap powdér works are located on the main line of the Cen- tral Pacific, seven miles above Auburn. | The -works are the property of the Giant Powder Company of San Fran- cisco. and manufacture black powder solely. - This is the third explosion at the works, the first one killing several men, and the second doing great dam- age to property.

To Be Committed to Memory by All Dyspeptics, Invalids and Consumptives. ‘What is the first cause of nine-tenths of all disease? Imperfect digestion of food. Why does imperfect digestion cause disease of other organs { Because blood, nerves, muscles, bone | and flesh are derived from the food we eat and digest. If digestion is perfect the blood is pure, nerves and muscles strong, flesh firm. If the digestion is poor, the blood is supplied from half- digested, fermenting food, Irritating every nerve and organ. The result is, sooner or later, organic disease, be- | cause every organ being poorly nour- | ished the weakest gives way first and we have liver trouble, kidney com- plaints, heart disease or consumption. Is not dieting the usual and best treatment to cure indigestion? No, because the dyspeptic has been starved long enough; what is needed | is abundant nourishment, not the lack of it. The stomach and blood demand nutriment, not bran crackers. What is the best method of cure? Plenty of wholesome food well di- gested. But how can a weak stomach digest plenty of wholesome food? By taking with the food after each meal certain harmless remedies which are known to digest food and thus nourish the blood and rest the weak stomach. ‘What are these harmless remedies? The most valuable are vegetable fer- ments, pure pepsin, Golden Seal and fruit salts. All of these are now com- | bined in the form of pleasant tasting tablets sold by druggists under the name of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Are these tablets superior to the va- rious liquid preparations so-called dy- spepsia cures? Most decidedly, because all liquid medicines become stale with age and! lose whatever good qualities they may | have had originally, while the tablet re. tains its properties indefinitely. Stuart’s | Dyspepsia Tablets can be carried in the pocket, always at hand ready for | use when traveling or at daily oceupa- | tion. They cost but 50 cents and should be kept in every family. They keep the digestion perfect and save doctor's bills by warding off disease. Are Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets adapted to all forms of dyspepsia? ‘Yes, because in _all cases the trouble results from indigested, fermenting food. Stuart’s Dyspepsia _ Tablets cause the food to be digested before it has time to ferment. If you wish to. know more about them ask your druggist for a package and try them. ADVERTISEMENTS.
