You get nourishment and rest at the same time because these tablets will | thoroughly digest all wholesome food | taken into the stomach whether the | stomach works or not. A cure .is cer- tain to result because the digestive organs are given a chance to rest and | recover their natural vigor and tone. | The Tablets are.then no longer re- quired. To show the manner in which the| remedy acts on different people and bhow quickly and effectually it cures | stomach troubles we present a few re- cent cases. Mr. J. O. Wondly of Peoria, TIL, writes: I was unable to eat anything but the plainest food and even that often distressed me, but since using one | box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets I can eat anything and everything I want. Mrs. Samuel Kepple of Girty, Pa., writes: I have been entirely relieved of my stomach troubles by your Tablets. I suffered three years with sour stomach and gas at night. Iam thank- ful for them. Mrs. A. E. Bowen, Barnard, Vt., write: I think Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab- lets are the best thing for dyspepsia 1 ever took. I will recommend them to any one troubled as bad as I was.

Leake and his| ter addressed to | auditing board. The excursion afforded the first opportunity to a representa- tive section of the public to see what the pr t commission has accom- plished during the two years it has | been in office, and on every hand ex- pressions of surprise at the extent of the work and commendation for its substantial quality were heard. Among the passengers were ressman Marion de Vries and Major M. H. Heuer, the Government engineer, who has charge of the work on the navigable rivers of ifornia and who for some months has been serving as consulting engineer to the commis- | sion. Major Heuer spoke in most compli- mentary terms of the work plished by the commission, declaring that in all his experience he had never known of a comm on which had effected much at such a small outlay of mo The commission was author- ized by the last Legislature to expend | $300,000, but while it has constantly | seems to ha been at work and while various points on the Sacramento. and San Joaquin rivers show a vast Iimprovement through its endeavors, the total ex- pense to date has been but $78,872 47. Fifteen or twenty years ago the s c- tion of Yolo County along the the river, | and lying in a northwesterly direction from Sacramento, was populated by prosperous farmers and orchardists, whose vacant and dilapidated homes and granaries, seen now from the decks of the river boats, testify to the ruin | which the annual floods have wrought. nost vulnerable portions -of the levee was located near Elk Horn, and t! break: ere so frequent there that for near )00 feet the old levee was completely washed away, the water even at its lowest stage refusing to stay in its channel, the river dividing its flow between the channel and the basin into which the crevasse opened. It was here that the commission de- cided to mak ts first large experiment. The result is to be found in a magnifi- cent piece of engineering skill in the shape of an easement 2000 feet long, covered by a rounded concrete surface some 15 feet in width. This concrete rests upon a foundation many feet deep, of rock and earth, solidly packed, and is flanked the entire length by a system of piles and riprap work. Front- ing this again is an earth embankment rising ten or twelve feet from the river level and removing the easement eighty or a hundred feet from the water. The purpose of this stupendous piece of work is to confine the river within its banks during stages of low water, and also during stages of high water, until an excessive height is reached, when the water will flow over it into the Yolo Basin, thus taking the strain off the general levee system. Eventu- ally, it is believed, the effect will be the complete restoration of the valuable which the - annually recurring floods pouring through the open levees have ruined. The jetty sys stem at the New Town shoals was also inspected. The work here is of a character to remove the oals which for over forty years have obstructed the entrance to- the river from salt water. The natural width of the river at that point is 3000 feet, but | the jetties constructed by the commis- sion narrow the channel to 1200 feet, thus adding to the velocity of the stream and augmenting its power to re- move the shoals. In some places, since the work has been put in, the shoals have cleared for a depth of six feet, although this cleansing has thus far not been uniform. Engineer M. A. Nurse, who has charge of the work for the commissfon, sald to The Call correspondent that the | next high-water season would demon- strate_the util formed by the c ty of the.work per- mmission, and he was | confident the commission would be jus- tified in its course by the action of the high water.

This committee will prepare a bill to be sub- mitted to the next Legislature, the effect of which will be, if passed, to allow any- one in'the State, who Is willing to pay the mail, freight or express charges, to ob- taln books from the State Library. Another committee was appointed, con- sting of F. J. Teggart, Robert E. Cowan and J. C. Rowell, whose work it will be to prepare a bibliograph of all the litera- ture ever written about California. This is claimed by the librarians to be a much- needed work and Committeeman Teggart is an enthusiast on the subject.

SHUTS OUT THE CARDINAL SCORE THE SAME AS IN THE THANKSGIVING GAME. At No Stage of the Contest Had the Palo Alto Lads the Better of the Brawny Moun- taineers. Special Dispatch to The Call. RENO, Nev., Nov. 26.—The Nevada University football team administered a crushing defeat to the Stanford team to-day, the score being the same as in the Berkeley-Stanford game on Thanksgiving day—22 to 0. The Stanford team arrived this morn- ing at 8 o'clock. It was met at the de- pot by a committee from the Nevada University, which received them with the Nevada ’varsity yell. The boys alighted from the train apparently in fine form, but after standing on the platform 10 or 1F minutes in a Nevada November morning waiting for car- riages they got humps in their backs and were heard to remark, “Lord, but it's cold.” The chill ozone sharpened their appetites for the hot breakfast to which they were treated by the Nevad- ans. The two teams lined up at 2 o’'clock. Nevada won the toss and chose the west goal. Stanford kicked to Brule, who made fifteen yards. By a series of end runs and center bucks Nevada car- ried the ball down the field and in twenty minutes Hayes went over Stan- ford’s line for the first touchdown. Keddie failed to kick the goal.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 26.—The where- abouts of Grant C. Gillett, the big Kansas cattle-feeder, whose fallure was announced yesterday, are still unknown. Probably twenty-five dif- ferent Kansas City live stock commis- sion houses are indorsers of Gillett's paper, which is said to be scattered through the banks of the country from Denver to New York city. All of the local firms declare that the paper they hold is amply secured and that there cannot possibly be any loss to a single holder. Of the cattle in the feed lots, something over 10,000 head were pur- chased from one Denver firm, that of Dake & Keeler, to whom Gillett is sald to have given a mortgage of $208,000. These cattle are 3-year-old steers, and cattlemen assert that a low estimate of their present value is $30 a head, or about $10 a head more than the interest in the cattle held by the Denver firm Another lot of cattle contains 6500 head which Gillett and another dealer own iu Oklahoma. These cattle are said to be mortgaged for $125,000 and are stated to be worth a third more than the amount against them. ‘A remarkable thing about Gillett's methods of doing business was that he kept no books and took no one into his confidence. All the details of his enor- mous deals were carried in his head, and this complicates the matter. Gil- lett is dubbed as a careless financler, and those who know him best now say that sheer luck carried him through many of his heaviest deals. Many local stockmen declare that he would not run away even if he knew his debts would wipe out his herds and ranches, because he believes that luck will al- ways attend him. Nevertheless, there was talk to-day that he had mort- gaged cattle twice and left to avoid ar- rest. The deal that forced Gillett to the wall w a $125,000 loan held by a Kansas City livestock firm. The money was advanced to him on 6500 head of feeding cattle in Oklahoma, and the mortgage fell due last week. The Kan- sas City firm declined to extend the loan. Gillet tried hard to secure money, but for the. first time in his ca- reer he was unable to get backing. Close upon the heels of this came a deal that he had with Valle & Gates, the Arizona cattle magnates. Gillett had paid $10,000 as earnest money on 4000 cattle in the Panhandle of Texas. which Vaile & Gates owned on the famous “J. A.” ranch. These cattle were worth $120,000, and Gillett was unable to raise the money to take them, and saw his $10,000 go to pay his liabil- ity for the loss to Vaile & Gates. As soon as it was learned here that Gil- lett was being pressed by one or two of his creditors, others sent their rep- resentatives ' to his ranch to vprotect their loans. Meanwhile the plunger took his leave. Eastern holders of Gillett's paper, which has ](yassed through the hands of the Kansas City firms. began telegraphing, and to-day a few of the Kansas City houses are trying to sell livestock paper. KANSAS CITY, Nov. 26.—A special to the Journal from Abilene, Kans., states that the liabilities of Grant Gil- lett, the cattle king, will reach nearly a million and a half dollars, and that the assets mav not reach more than half this amount. It develons that Gil- lett had filed in Dickinson County mortgages covering 30,993 head of cat- tle and aggregating $849,740. In addition to this amount, according to the Journal’s dispatch Gillett has outstanding nearly $600,000 of accommo- dation paper. The thirty or more men who are in Abilene representing com- mission houses and other creditors of Gillett have been busy all day tracing the cattle upon which their firms hold morteages. It was found that at least one bunch of cattle has been mortgaged to two firms. The affairs are in a bad tangle, which will require weeks to un- ravel, and it is feared that much litiga- tion will result. The whereabouts of Gillett is still unknown. The mortgages filed in Abilene show the principal creditors and their securi- ties to be as follows: Elmore & Cooper of Kansas City, 8170 head, $243,000; Gil- lesple Commission Company, Kansas City, 7000 head, $210,000; Trowers & Sons, Kansas Clty, 4600 head, $160,000; Vaile & Gates, Kansas City, 542 head, $16,200; Holmes Live Stock Company, Kansas City, 1560 head, $41,800; Evans- Snyder-Buell Company, Kansas City, 6220 head, $122,900; Bohart & Co., St. Joseph, Mo., 1500 head, $30,000; Keeler & Dake, Denver, 1264 head, $25,000; total, 30,993 head, $849,740.

Mrs. Wynn, who frequently had con- siderable money in the house, lived en- tirely alone. She was a kindly old lady, with many virtues. Her only failing was a desire to live by herself. She managed her own estate personally, collected her rents, banked her money and invested her savings without con- sulting any one. Mrs. Wynn was esti- mated to be worth from $90,000 to $100,« 000. The murderer or murderers left no clue. It is not known how much money they obtained, but the amount must have been considerable. Mrs. Wynn's relatives all live in St. Louis.
