INTENSE SUFFERING From Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble. Instantly Relieved and Perma- nently Cured by Stuart’s Dys= pepsia Tablets. A New Dlscovery, but Not a Patent Medicine. Dr. Redwell relates an interesting ac- count of what he considers a remarkable stomach trouble and chronic : the use of the new discov- Dyspepsia Tablets. He says The patient was a man who had suffered to my knowledge for years with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed to sour and create acld and gases | in. the stomach matism in the bz limbs, fullness and distress after eating, oor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart ccame affected, causing palpitation and sleeplessness at night.

Al- most immediate relief was given and after he had used four bo: s he was to all ap- pearances fully cured. There was no more acldity or sour wat- ery risings, no bloating after meals, the appetite wils vigorous and he hus gdined between 10 and 12 pounds in weight of solid, healthy flesh.. Although Stuart’s pyssnpnm Tablets are advertised and sold in drug stores, yet I consider them a most valuable addition to any physician's line of remedies, as they are perfectly harmless and can" be glven to children or invalids or in_any condition of the stomach with perfect Safety, being harmiess and containing nothing but vegetable and frult essences, pure pepsin and Golden Beal. \\'ugnut any question they are the saf- est, most effective cure for indigestion, biliousness, constipation and all derange: ments of the stomach, however slight or severe.

In addition, and to test the question of the practica- bility of doing .his work as speci- fied, we have had a piece of wall con- | structed exactly according to the spe- cifications, and exactly as the work at the Union Depot and ferry house should have been done. This piece is not a model only, but is of sufficient size to show that there are no difficulties in doing such- work that cannot be .overcome by ordinary mechanical skill. This piece can be exhibited to your Honor at any time. The finishing of the mezzanine story has been entirely omitted. The change in floor construction was a very radical one, and was of doubt- ful expediency. The soffits of steel girders are ex-. posed, and are not covered with fire- proof material as previded for in :the contract. The soffits -of bridges are not yet en- closed with sheathing, andthe.floor tim- bers. remain exposed. The first story ceiling under the gal- lery is not yet plastered. i No attempt has been made at com- plying with the specifications in these. particulars. We call attention to the fact that in making changes various kinds of work have been so mixed together that it has béen more difficult to locate values than if a caréful segregation of changes and values. had been made, ‘We understand that all contracts amounting. to $3000 require bids, and in this connection we note extras as follows: 2 ON MABONTY...utereersinctonnnssse . $2416 ' 238§ Carpenter ..

BAD NEWS FROM THE RAFTS ONE WAS. BREAKING UP WHEN SEEN BY THE MINEOLA. - Large Quantities of Grain Arriving From the North and Storage ' Space Is Getting Limited. For the first time in over a week the wind chopped around to.the northwest yvesterday and blew: steadily from that point all.day. It began with, six miles an hour at the Heads at 6 a. m., and three hours after was blowing ten miles an hour. At noon it was only making eight miles, but at 3 p: m. it was blowing twelve. miles steadily, while at Point Reyes It was twenty miles an hour, The fleet that hads : béen delayed by southeast winds and fog tock advantage of the change and came sailing into port.

We respectfully. submit that the Har- | |'bor Commissioners having this work in charge, . while not exceeding the au-| thority given them under the plans and specifications, - did not prosecute the- | work with the same energy, judgment and economy that is usually displayed | individual owners and whlch‘ should be displaved by public officials. | | If the plans and specifications had been so drawn that no authority had | | been vested in the Harbor ‘Commis- | sioners or architect to make these, or | any changes, the State would, in our | judgment, have received a better structure for the money spent. | Referring to the detailed reports of | our expert attached hereto, we are sat- isfled that his estimates are very con- gervative. The prices at which he has calculated the value of the work omitted and added have been sub- mitted to several leading architects of this city and authority has been given by these professional gentlemen to state in their judgment these prices are fair and reasonable. Further, § per cent is allowed as con- | tractor’s profit on work omitted—i. e, only 95 per cent deducted, and 10 per cent contractor's profit allowed on work added or extra. We refer briefly to a few points treated at length in the reports at- tached. The original specifications for galva- nized iron work called for and exactly described a method of attaching the galvanized iron sheets to the metal framing, which would have resulted in a first-class job. There was no at- tempt made to even partially adhere to the specifications. The supervising architect, on the ground that it would be impossible to do the work as spe- cified, directed the contractor, Wil-| liam Green, to do the work in a man- | ner greatly inferior to the original plan, and much less costly to the con- tractor. In fact, it would be hard to find a cheaper way of attaching the galvanized iron than that which has | been adopted, while it would be equal- ly hard to find a more expensive method than that described in the spe- | cifications and contracted for and pald for, no allowance in price as yet hav- ing been made for the change. The contractor, Mr. Cronan, testified before this jury that when he bid on this work he did not figure on doing this portion of it according to specifications, and that some one in the office of the late architect, A. Page Brown, had told him it would not be required of him. Further, the State paid the sum of $2230 for additional wood furring put in to enable the galvanized iron con- tractor to use the cheaper method. The use of wood also reduces the fire-proof quality of the work. On these oints the repogt of our expert is confirmed by two competent witnesses, whose supervising architect' had full power to enforce the contracts strictly; all changes were apparently made under their direction, and blame cannot be transferred to the contractors if they carried out instructions. From the nature of the case a proper investigation of such matters as this Union Depot and ferry house can only be made with the assistance of compe- tent experts, and we are unable, to our great regret, to-investigate all the con- tracts in the building construction, be- cause of the totally inadequate amount of ' money at our'disposal. As a sug- gestion of how much work should be done in this direction, we submit here- with a'report made to this Grand Jury by the San krancisco Chapter of the American Instifute of Architects. We are convinced-from our investi- gation ‘of three important contracts that the whole matter merits a most searching scrutiny by somebody clothed with sufficient authority and provided with sufficient means to make such inquiry effectively. 5 We learn by .the appended letter from his Excellency, the Governor of this State, written ‘in reply to our inquiry, that at the thirty-second session of the Legislature a committee’ was appointed to investigate State institutfons, con- sisting of Senator J. H. Dickinson, San. Francisco, chairman; Senator W. F. Prisk, Grass Valley; Senator E. W. Chapman, El Dorado County; Senator J. J. Boyce, Santa Barbara County, and Senator C. M. Simpson, Pasadena. Inasmuch as .this committee has commenced an independent investiga- tion of the construction of the Union Depot and ferry house, and has at its disposal the means which the Grand Jury lacks, we have deemed it wise to let our investigation rest at this point, and see if the above committee does not cover all the ground. e In conclusion we beg to say . that while we do not find proofs of tangi- ble fraud that warrant us in making formal charges, we cannot consider the matters covered by this report with- out grave suspicions arising that those in control of the Unlon Depot and ferry house structure have not been loyal to the interests of the State. Respectfully submitted. M. H. HECHT, Foreman. Documents appended were as fol- lows: Reports of T. Alexander Wright on masonry contract, galvanized iron con- tract, woodwork; summary. Testimony of Mr. Forderer and Mr. Conlin on re-galvanized iron work. Letters from and to San Franclsco Chapter of Architects. Letters from and to the Governor of California. Mr. Wright gave it as his opinion that Colusa stone, which was sub- stituted for Oregon stone, is about as good as Oregon, but not as expensive. The successful contractor bid $218,000 for furnishing “Nevada” stone and $230,000 for “Oregon,” the latter being accepted. This contract was made on January 23, 1896, and on April 10 Colusa was substituted. The question arises, did the Harbor Commissioners have any idea of using “Colusa” when they accepted - the contract and if so why did they not accept the lower bid? The substitution of “Colusa” could have been made as well. The fact that a bid was received, ed on Colusa amounting to some $53,000 more than the accepted bid cannot be used to grgve anything in relation to any other id. & Eleven variations in carpenter con- tract let to Batemann Bros are noted by G.

The knowing.ones staté.that. the Grand Jury has undertiken .to Investi- gate the wholesale régistration frauds perpetrated recently and to fix a erimi- nal responsibility upon certain precinct officers of registration. It is, moreover, alleged that the glaring: registration -ir- regularities in the Ninth Preeinct of the Forty-third District, where two big col- onies of illegal voters were found located.| alongside the registratfon booth, are re- celved ‘such a ‘searching. inquiry that something is bound to eome of it. o The first rumor that the Grand Jury was snuffing at. the registration frauds _recelved added Impetus yesterday after- noon, when Foreman Hecht was observed slipping out of Registrar Biggy's office with several bulky -envelopes in his hand. The Registrar. w tioned . r to give any information,. merely stating that Mr; Hecht's.call was on'a little pri- ‘vate business. ' The fact- that certain in- formation went to tlie Grand Jury is out, however, and there is no doubt that a shaking up of certain crooked politiclans is close at hand. One -prominent Demo- crat is known' to be on the ragged edge of an indictment. The cause for the Grand Jury's action is not hard to-find. The recent registra- tion of voters, while smaller than in ptre- vious years, was, nevertheless, consider- ably stuffed, and since Registrar ng?y has been at work purging nearly 1000.ii- legal registrations have been discovered. In most -cases - fictitious voters were grouped in certain precincts. and it soon became a matter of common report that those precinct registers had been stuffed. | One significant feature of the situation was also quickly discerned, and that was that-the illegal registrations had, in al- | most every case, been made at the pre- cinet booths and. not at the central reg- istration office in the city building. This fact developed a well-grounded suspicion that local registration ~boards had a E“my knowledge of the frauds and the rand Jury, having its official eyes wide open, was not slow matter of a thorough investization. Just how far this work has progressed is not known at present on the-outside, but it is predicted that rapld progress will be made ncw that the report on the Union depot and ferry house has. been finished. & in 'considering the Rheumatism, kidney, liver diseases cured.

The court was asked to set aslde the Jidgment on the eround that it was obtained by fraud, it being claimed by the plaintiff that several wit- nesses-swore falsely at-the trial, includin Mrs. Treadwell herself, and that Leopolfi Markgraff, whose testimony would have materlally assisted Reay's case; was spir- ited away. g Markgraff whs on the stand yesterday and testified that he had been filled wit! liquor- on the day he was expected to tes-. tify. ‘This statement and those of Mrs. Summers of the day before failed to as- sist the plaintiff. however, and the court gave judgment for the defendant on tpe ground that Mrs. Treadwell’s estate was protected by reason that she could not ap- pear and answer the charges brought against her.. - —_——— Will of Mrs. G.
