Despite Numerous Semi-Virtuous Concessions Wells, Fargo & Company Must Show Cause Before the Supreme Court of This State Why It Should Not Pay the War Tax. Attorney General Fitzgerald yvesterday filed with the Supreme Court his petition for an alternative writ of mandate ope- rating against Wells, Fargo & Co. It is by this means that the State of Califor- nia will seek to rid its sovereign people of the burden of a grasping corporation’s taxes and convince President John J. Val- entine that the laws of the land are not to be differentiated that he may further squeeze the people who have made his company and his own rotund salary prof- itable possibilities. There is a bright, shining possibility that Mr. Fitzgerald’s petition is too late for its object. It has developed in the past few days that Mr. Valentine and his company have made concessions and that to some of their little receipts they are attaching and paying for their own reve- nue stamps. True the patrons who have been so far honored are the very largest and most profitable shippers that appear on the company’s books, and the suspi- clon may arise that the Valentine magna- nimity is induced by the coercive influ- ence of threatened withdrawals of big blocks of trade. However, the fact re- mains that the company is actually pay- | ing for some of its stamps, not only in this city, but in Sacramento and in the other towns where there are shippers of enough importance to the corporate purse to tell Mr. Valentine to put up or go without. Mr. Valentine is putting up, and the fact will argue to his benefit un- til he proves that his sudden accession of virtue is nothing more than discrimina- tion against those who do need it for the benefit of those who do not.

It was his original intention | to make his application for a writ of man- Court. The Peace Barry and of Superior Judge Troutt in the Costley case, however, interfered with that. Though the Superior Court declared that the corporation should buy its stamps and pay damages to William Costley as well, Mr. Valentine considered that the last behest only was incumbent upon him. He acknowledged the decis- jon's justice in so far that he forwarded date before the Superior a check to Costley, but he bought no stamps. The Attorney General figured that one Superior Court decision would receive no more attention than another, and decided %0 appesl for relles fosthie Bipreme Court of the State. This he did yesterday, and in his cause of action avers that the com- pany is and always has been since its incorporation under the laws of the State of Colorado, in the business of car- rying and transporting packages as & general express business. That since the first day of July, 1898, it has been the duty of the defendant to affix, and cancel at its own cost, to all of its receipts a revenue stamp of the value of 1 cent, as provided by an act of Con- gress entitled “An act to provide ways and means to meet war expenditures, and for other purposes.”” That on October 19 he tendered to the company a package for transportation to the State Board of Examiners at Sacramento and at the same time offered the usual rate of 25 cents, but that a demand was made upon him for an additional cent to pay for the stamp, which plaintiff alleges he was not required by law to pay, and that upon his Tofusal to pay the 1 cont his package was refused by the company’s agent. In his statement of cause the plaintiff also alleges in a general charge that the company in disregarding the tax law is dishonoring its franchise. On this point the compiaint says: Afflant believes upon information and al- leges, that defendant is violating its franchises and {ts duty to the public and is unlawfully de- manding of all persons who transact any ex- press business with defendant within this State the payment of the internal revenue tax which by virtue of the provisions of the act of Con- gress aforesald it s the duty of defendant it- selt to pay, and unlawfully and oppressively forces and compels all of such persons to pay sald tax by unlawfully refusing to recelve for transportation any goods so offered to it for transportation and shipment unless, in addi- tion to its regular charges, the persons 5o offer- ing goods pay to defendant a sum sufficient to cover the cost to defendant of purchasing and procuring the internal revenue stamps, or un- less such persons themselves furnish sald stamps; that by reason of its unlawful and coercive acts defendant is evading and escap- ing its just share of the burden of the internal revenue tax and is unlawfully violating its franchise and failing to properly perform-the duties imposed upon it by law, and is co- ercively and without any right violating its duty to the people of this State by imposing the unlawful and onerous burden of paying its joint and rightful share of the internal revenue tax upon the general public. MILLIONS IN A STRONG BOX. Personal Property of the Estate of Charles F. Crocker Deposited. An order was made yesterday by Judge Coftey directing Henry T. Scott and Charles E. Green, guardians of the es- tates of Mary, Charles Templeton and Jennie adeline Crocker, children and heirs of the late Charles F. Crocker, to deposit all personal property belonging to the estates of their wards in the vaults | of the Crocker-Woolworth National Bank. This was done in order to obviate the necessity of the guardians securing bonds Sufficient to cover the great value of the property, and was made under the pro- visions of the code. “The property was all placed in a strong box and carried into court, sealed and dellvered to G. W. Kline, cashier of the Crocker-Woolworth Bank.

The board will in its report locate the respon- sibility on those who are accountable for the loss of the property. During the approaching session of the next Lfmlaxure the Committee on_ mili- tary Affairs will Rave a number of new matters to consider. An effort will be | made to have it recommend the passage | of a law that will do away with the fre- quent elections held in the companies of the guard. It is proposed that after tne first election the only commissioned officer to be elected shall be the second lieuten- ant, so that in case of a vacancy in the upper grades those in the lower ones wul be In llne for promotion. That is, if the | captain retires, is removed or dies, tne first lieutenant will become captain, the second lieutenant first; the vacancy in the econd_lieutenancy to be filled by elec- tion, the officer to hold during good be- havior and competency and to be retired for age as is done in the regular army. This, it is thought, will do away with a great deal of sectional feeling in tne companies and give officers who will be able to enforce discipline much better than in the past. It is also proposed to have the laws af- fecting the guard codified, do away with the regulations as now laid down, and in lieu thereof substitute the United States army regulations, so far as applicable. ‘Another matter that will be urged will be the erection of armories to be owned by the State. $ e et The 1900 Club will move into their per- manent quarters in the Y.

HE WAS IN THE FIGEL CASE EXPIRED WHILE SERVING SEN- TENCE FOR CONTEMPT. Gratitude of the Octogenarian for Kind Treatment Received Substantinily Ex- pressed. Rupert Manuel, $3 years old, died in the County Jail shortly before 1 o'clock yes- terday afternoon. He had been attended by City Physician Hereford for a com- plication of diseases. Manuel was formerly in the service of Eugene Deuprey, his duty being to serve papers for Mr. Deuprey's law office. He came into prominence in the Figel-Hoff- man murder trial. On October 14 of this year he was committed for contempt by Superior Judge Troutt, his sentence being for five days. The contempt consisted in his refusal to deliver certain papers in the case of the estate of his deceased wife. He was again taken from the courtroom to the County Jail last Thurs- day. : ; (gn Friday night he wrote a statement in lead pencil, purporting to be his last will and testament in the guise of a let- ter addressed to Mrs. Bertha Head, wife of School Director E. L. Head. The let- ter is written in a remarkably firm hand for an octogenarian on the point of death. He requests Mrs. Head to have him cremated, and leaves her all his property, consisting of $00 of his own money and $1000 belonging to the estate of his dead wife, together with his real estate, the value of which is not stated. Mike H. Smith is made trustee for her for $3000 or thereabouts on his bank ac- count. He also bequeaths to Mrs. Head $60 cash in his pocket. In his statement he says that he makes the bequest to Mrs. Head out of grati- tude, because she was kind to him when he made her house his home. ASSESSOR SIEBE AND CORPORATIONS DIS- RECORDS OF HIS OFFICE PROVE FAVORITISM. His Opponents Allege Facts Official Records Disprove Absolutely. That After a man has served as a public official as long as honest John D. Siebe has, and then has so litile said against him regarding the administration of his office as can be said against this gentleman, it argues well for his fit- ness for the place and it suggests many reasons why voters should and will vote for his re-election. Distorting figures and misstating facts in an endeavor to weaken an op- ponent usually acts as a boomerans, and such will prove the case in Mr. Siebe’s campaign when his opponent re- sorts to such practices. In recent addresses to voters the Democratic nominee has taken advan- tage of the opportunity to make a num- ber of misstatements relative to Mr. Siebe’s assessments, particularly those of corporations, and has made asser- tions of alleged facts that are not borne out by the records. Mr. Siebe’s opponent has recently, on varjous occasions, at public meetings asserted that the Republican nominee had shown favoritism in the assessment of corporations, and gave alleged spe- cific figures to substantiate his claims. He called particular attention to fig- ures of assessments made by Assessor Badlam in 1876, as against those of As- sessor Siebe, especial consideration be- ing given to the personal property as- sessments of the Spring Valley Water Company and the San Francisco. Gas Company. The Democratic nominee endeavored to make it appear that Mr. Siebe has assessed these two corpora=- tions for a less amount than they were assessed in 1876 by Mr. Badlam. The records show that in 1876 the Spring Valley Water Company’s per- sonal property assessment, including franchise, was $2.322,170, while for 1898 the assessment made by Mr. Siebe was $3,589,857. The personal property assessment of the San Francisco Gas Company in 1876, including franchise, was $1,403,900, while Mr. Siebe assessed this same company for personal property in 1898 $2,521,168. Personal property assessments reached a maximum of $101.000,000 in 1874. They declined in 1876 to $71,000,- 000, and in 1879 to $51,000,000. The last two were during Mr. Badlam’s incum- bency and show a decrease in personal property assessments of $20,000,000 in three years of his incumbency, and a ;lse;;rease of $50,000,000 between 1874 and It is a fact—one regretted by all, but nevertheless true—that many business interests in San Francisco have depre- ciated in value of late years, hence the decline in amount of personal property assessments. Yet during Mr. Siebe's incumbency he has increased the as- sessments of banks and corporations nearly $12,000,000, while the total in- crease in all personal property assess- ments has been but a little over $2,000,~ These figures are all a matter of re- cord, and can be verified at any time by an inspection of the records of the Assessor’s office. That Mr. Siebe has done his duty justly and honestly b rich and poor alike no one can deny who will take the pains to investigate. For his op- ponent to state alleged facts from a platform or in any other manner, when the records disprove such assertions, demonstrates how hopeless is the task of defeating honest John Siebe, the true and tried public official. Mr. Siebe has demonstrated that he is a man who cannot and will not betray the trust and confidence of the people, and the public approval of his admin~ istration of the Assessor’s office will be shown in the rousing majority by which he will be re-elected Novem- ber 8. wiite C———————— Manhattan Zouaves.

PIERCE’S RUN DOWN OR BROKEN DOWN® A Society Woman and Her Watch Suggest a Pertinent Physical Parallel. A lady went to a famous New York watchmaker the other day and said her watch had broken down. The watch- maker opened the watch, adjusted his eye-glass and carefully examined the works. He smiled as he shut the case, wound the watch, set it, and handed it back to its owner. “Why, what was wrong?” she asked. “What did you do?"” as with the watch at her ear she listened in pleased sur- prise to its regular beat. “‘It was just run down, and I wound it up, that was all,” answered the watchmaker. There is all the difference in the world between being broken down and RUN DOWN OR run down. But it usually takes the skill of the specialist to determine the difference. There are thousands of women, just in the condition of that watch. They are all run down. but they make the mistake of thinking that they are bro- ken down, and their condition is often aggravated by their fears. It often happens, however, that the complex symptoms of feminine diseases appear in the patient’s judgment just as criti-, cal as the stopped watch. It is simply a “run down’ condition and this run down condition in woman means that the vital forces are about exhausted. The woman. unable to care for the fam- ily or attend to her household duties, is as incapable of play as she is of work, is in constant pain, and feels that life is about to end, and that she is completely” broken down. Many thousands of just such women have come to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce is a specialist in the diseases of women, and his more than thirty years’ experience has en- abled him to say to many a suffering woman: “You are not broken down. You are just run down. Your whole life will run on again in its divinely appointed way, when the main spring which dominates it is once more regu- lated and enabled to exercise its in- herent and proper function.” The sufferings borne by women in which men have no part or lot, and of the pains and pangs of which they are ignorant, are chiefly related to those organs which are distinctively feminine. Thus the “run-down” condition of woman can oft-times be traced to the irregular periods which beginning in maidenhood culminate in the unpleas- ant and debilitating drains of wifehood. Then come the strain and drain of fre- quently repeated motherhood, and with it ulcerations, inflammations, displace- ments of internal organs and bearing down pains. 7The nerve force has al- most entirely departed. There Is no more conjugal happiness and no more courage to face the obligations of ma- ternity. The desponding mind of the prospective mother keeps a fearful watch on the dial which marks off the months and the days. She shrinks from her coming anguish. The little life knit up with hers is already being blighted by her nervousness and gloomy fore- bodings and surely handicapped in the race of life. This condition has been met in a wonderful way by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It quickly allays inflammations, cures wulcerations, and builds up the nerve centers. The wife instead of nervously pacing the house wringing her hands in dread of the ap- proaching day of pajn, now sits and sews in happy preparation, her fingers sometimes falling idly to her lap, as she drifts into smiling reverie, and al- ready imagines the tug of the tiny fingers and the pressure of the tender lips upon her bosom, swelling with motherly pride and happiness. Such a transformation seems wonder- ful. It is wonderful. Yet it is as true as it is wonderful. A half million of women have testified to these facts; women who have been freed from pain and suffering and been restored to the full measure of enjoyment which be- longs to the happy duties of wife and mother. Some few of these women tell R.

Pierce’s medicines are used,” Writes Mrs. Edmon Jacobs of Bargersville, Johnson County, Ind. “I had not heard of Dr. Plerce’s medicine three years ago, when I was expecting to be con- fined, so had to suffer almost death. Be- fore baby was born I could not be on my feet without two persons holding me. The baby was a boy weighing nine and three-quarter pounds, and for some weeks after his birth I suffered severe pain. Following the advice of a neighbor last fall my husband bought me two bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets and one bottle of his ‘Favorite Prescription,” which I took during tb~ winter, and in March, 1898, I gave bIrtn to a baby boy weighing ten and three- quarter pounds. I was only iin labor two hours and was on my feet without help until thirty minutes before my baby was born. He is now three BROKEN DOWN.. months old and weighs nineteen pounds. .I know it was Dr. Pierce’s I advise all women to take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, also his ‘Pleas- ant Pellets,” if necessary. 1 would not be without them.” ‘What a change from darkness to day- light these histories tell! All this change occurred in the privacy of the home, without indelicate questionings, offensive examinations and disagree- able local treatments so obnoxious to modest-minded women. If afflicted you are cordially and courteously invited to write to D-. Pierce and tell him your condition. There is no charge for this consultation by letter. You get a spec- ialist's advice absolutely free. Every Jetter is treated as pri—-ate communica- tion between physician and patient, and every ‘statement is held in the most sacred confidence. Write without fear as without fee. Remember that Dr. Pierce is a gradu- ated physician, whose reputation stands side by side with his thirty years’ ex- perience. It is well to keep this in mind, because people are often invited to write to “doctors” who are doctors in name only, having no right to the pro- fessional title. The feelings of women are often played upon, also, by those who- invite them to “write to & woman and secure a woman's sympa- thetic advice.” What a ‘“run-down” woman needs is sound medical advice and not mere sisterly sympathy. There is not, so far as we know, any gradu- ated woman physician connected with any proprietary medicine. There is certainly no woman in any such posi- tion who, like Dr. Pierce, has given | thirty years of active practice to the treatment of female disorders, thus af- fording women the practical sympathy of real help and sound healing. Every invalid woman should know that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription contains no alcohol, whisky or other in- toxicant. It is also free from opium and narcotics, and contains neither su- gar nor syrup. Without any of these it preserves its remedial value indefi- nitely in any climate. Medicine dealers, everywhere, sell Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. See that you get the genuine. The imitations imitate the appearance only. They can- not imitate its thirty years’ record of cures. Look the dishonest dealer straight in the eye and ask him if his imitation substitute which he is trying to foist upon you has a thirty years’ record of cures behind it. Insist upon having a remedy with a record. The best book for any woman, single or married, in the spring of life or in its summer or autumn, is Dr. R. V. Plerce’s great work on physiology and-hygiene, “The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser.” It is medical science freed of all its technical phrases, and stripped of all its mystifying verbiage. It is the story of life, told in strong and simple language. It appeals to young and old alike. It appeals to the heart as well as to the mind and to the soul which is over all. It is the plain, practical lan- guage of common sense applied to the facts of physiology, the natural relation of the sexes, the hygiene of the home.

Y. their story in the following testimo- nials: “I thank God for such remedies as your ‘Favorite Prescription’ and ‘Gold- en Medical Discovery,” for myself and friends honestly believe that had it not been for these wonderful medicines I would to-day be in my grave,” writes Miss Laura Brooks of Clinch, Hancock County, Tenn. “I am sure that I could not have lived many days in the condi- tion I was in at the time I first con- sulted you. I was only praying to die and be free from pain. I was simply a shadow and we had tried almost every- thing, when, through a friend, I was advised to write to you, which I did, thinking all the while that it was only foolishness to think that such a case as mine could be cured. But I do not think so to-day. After the first week's treatment just as you prescribed, I felt like another woman and I hardly be- lieved that such could be when the first period was passed without pain. I con- tinued the treatment until I had used about seven bottles of the ‘Favorite Prescription’ and some of the ‘Discov- ery, and now I am a well woman. I would have given any amount if I had had it just for the rest it has already given me—rest from pain. I never know when the periods are coming on now, as I am free from pain. and dur- ing the time I feel just as well as at any .time, and am never conflned to my room as I once was. I can eat any- thing I want and can work at any kind of work. Everybody who knows me thinks it wonderful that I am not sick any more.
