A BRADSTREET REPORTER Gotinto Trouble and Then Got Out Again With No Harm Done. Perhaps your company would be in- terested in knowing something of my experience with coffee drinking. For a long time re was no pleasure in my breakfast, for immediately after eating it I was in pain, suffering from indigestion, and generally became so sick to my stomach that I was com- pelled to throw part of the breakfast I did ndt know what the cause of the trouble was until one of my friends who had been affected In the same told me that he had got entirely or his difficulty by quitting the use of coffee and using in its place the Postum Food Coffee, from which he obtained remarkable results. I made the change without any trouble, for the Postum was (after one or t 1 fallures, and we found out how to boil it prop- erly) better than the coffee I had been accustomed to. X In about three weeks I was so well that I found I could drink regular coffee without having-the old trouble, but I could not get back to like berry coffee again, the Postum tastes so much hetter to me, and the fact that I keep getting stronger and sturdier in every way convinces me that I am living a more natural life. I find it is best to boil Postum stead- ily and not let it boil teo hard so as to boil over, but it should be allowed to continue boiling a long time or it does not taste right, When it is allowed full length of time for boilins it is cer- tainly delicious. I enclose a list of ten names of friends who } ve all beei - cured of their indigestion by leavin= off coffee and using “Yost* .

An accident occurred yesterday marning | at the Union Iron Works, which fortu- nately resulted fn only a slight Injury to William Jenson, a workman, residing at 631 Tennessee street, who had fwo ribs broker. Dr. Simpson attended to the dn- jured man and had him conveyed to his home, where he will remain until fit to | resume work. The accident by which Jenson got hurt | occurred on the uuating dock belonging to the Union Iron Works while the Pacific | Mail Steamship Company’s steamer San | Blas was being drydocked. The big ship | was put on the dock all right, but no sooner had she taken her berth than it was noticed that two of the plungers nad given way, which had the effect of twist- ing the heavy iron and steél supports of the basin. It was while this strain was on the dock that Jenson got caught be- | tween the ship and the side of the dock, The steamer was got off the dock and | d to the company’s wharf, examination will be made of her ertain if any serious injury was sus- through the accident. * only answer to inguiries Union Iron Works as to the cause of the collapse was that it was some defect in a portion of the machinery and that it did | not amount to much from a financial | point of view. i IN GRATEFUL RECOGNITION. 1 Chaplain Clark Writes a Letter tn! Friends of the Seventh Cali- | fornia Regiment, U. 8. V. The following open letter, the written by | Regiment, U. S. V., is self-explanatory: CAMP PRATT, Los Angeles, Dec. 2: The | chaplain of the Seventh California Volunteers, on the day of the mustering out of the regl- | ment, makes grateful recognition of many aets | of kindness shown to the command. First | and foremost must be placed the Red Cross of the State of California, especlally its branches in San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles, | wha not only relieved the distress of the sick, but contributed likewise to the preserva@ion of many lives. | These gererous acts of unremitting attention must ever remain among our most sacred recollections. The society grandly fuliilied its | mission to us, and was nobly true to the sign of its badge and flag. Of those who minls- tered in other ways, and especially on the re- | ligious side, grateful mention is made of St | Andrew’s Brotherhood of the Episcopal Church | throughout the State, the Army and Navy Commission, the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation, the Catholic Aid Soclety, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and 'various benev- olent organizations. A bare enumeration daes | scant justice to gifts and labors so abundant | and so_generous. The Seventh cannot but remember with grateful hearts all these friends, who, unso- licited, proffered their aid and to the last con- tributed to our comfort and happiness. Not to these poor words of thanks, but to the reward of the faithful must we point as the due recog- nition of these many acts of kindness. Wit Christian greetings and with a soldier's farewell, your friend and fellow-laborer, ALFRED S, CLARK, nd Chaplain Seventh California’ In- e e T R e D e L D T Captain fantry, —_— WAR ON THE HIGHBINDERS. Chief Lees Issues a Circular Forbid- ding Murders and Robberies. The special Chinatown squad under Lieut ts Price and Esola made the rounds of the highbinder rooms again last night, but were unable to find any hatchet 1en. The dens visited were the same that the }mllrfi have raided a num- ber of times before, and from the appear- ance of the dens it is believed the fre- quenters have not returned to the rooms since the last raid. Chief Lees, who is determined to put a stop to the murders and robberfes in Chinatown, yesterday issued the following circular, coples of which, translated into Cnine ‘were posted on the walls of Chi- natown To the Chinese: Reports come to my office of much trouble existing in the Chinese quar- ter in the past three or four weeks relative to highbinders’ societies. It appears that the See Yu Tongs, whose headquarters are on Clay s detail members of thelr soclety to rob, b kmail and boycott the Sam Yups and dther socleties; also murders have been too frequent lately. 1, as Chief of Police of this city and county, warn and caution such societies that are engaged in boycotting, robbing and mur- der that such acts are contrary to the law of this State, will not be tolerated any longer and must be stipped; and it will be my duty to cause the arrest of each and every one who commits or is suspected of committing any offense as stated above. It is to be hoped that all Chinese socleties will hereafter respeot the laws of this country, otherwise they will have to take the conse- quences. L W. L Chief of Police, —_—— Football at Vallejo. The Alameda High School boys pald a visit to Vallejo yesterday, and while there entertained the boys of the high school of that town In a game of football. The kicklng ‘was gpirited and well contested, and while neither slde made a victory, the score standing 0 to 0, vet the Alameda boys sueceeded in kicking the ball to within two vards of the VaWejo goal on two occasions, while their own goal was never in jeopardy. The boys from the pak county chartered the steamer Caroline, and with the band | of the Fourth United States Cavalry made | quite a_display on_their arrival 'in the town where Uncle Sam’s ships lie at an- chor during peace. i OO SR Arrested for Burglary.

A large number of the residents of the Misslon district assembled last night in Mission Opera Hall to enjoy an enter- tainment given by the pupils of Miss E. Best’s Academy.

Extradition Waived by Amnbrose’s Absconding Deputy. Peter W. McGlade, the absconding bookkeeper in the Street Superintendent’s office, has walved the nececsity of extra- dition papers and yesterday Chief Lees recelved a dispatch from Deputy Sheriff John Phillips of veming, N. Mex., that he would leave last evening with his pris- oner for this city. Yesterday ernhfi; acting under in- #tructions from the ief, Detective T. B. Gibson swore to a complaint in Jugge Joachimsen's court charging McGlade with the crime of forgery. It was based on a warrant issued by McGlade on the City Treasurer August 31 for the pavment 398 to Thomas Dwyer, 844 Bay street, for twenty-four days' ‘work at $ per da. The names of Thomas J. Clark, Deputy Superintendent of Streets, and of B. McGinnis, assistant clerk ¢f the Board of Supervisors, were forged to the warrant. Wg»n the ‘warrant was presented for | payment the name of Dwyer was added to it In speaking of the case vesterday Cnief Lees said that the only assistance he had recelved was from the Auditor's office, For some reason or other the Street § perintendent's office was taking very lit- tle interest in the case, and uad compelled | him to et one of his detectives to swear to the complaint. —_—————————— . Judge Belcher’s Fureral. The remains of Judge Belcher were in- cinerated yesterday in the crematory at ows' Cemetery, The funeral rvices were held at the Howard Pres- byterian Church at the corner of Oak and Baker_streets, and were conducted by Rev, F. . Ferrand, The church was filled with the numerous friends of the deceased, and aithough the family had re- quested that no flowers be sent many handsome floral offerings attested the re- ur¢ in which his friends had held the udge. —_—————— ‘Want Their Money Back. Gottlob, Marx & Co. bave sent in a pe- tition to the Board of Supervisors asking that the city refund them $130 on the 3300 license they paid on June 1 of this year for the privilege of conducting the Bald- win Theater. The petition recites that the Baldwin Theater was destroyed by fire, that the lessees are now paying a license on two othpr places of amuse- eir license was only used for half of the term, the city should make the allowance prayed for. —_———————— Arrested On the Eve of Flight. R, R. Duckworth was arrested last night in the Fairmount Hotel by Police- man Fraher and charged at the City Prison with obtaining money under false pretenses. The complainant is B. F. Pear- son, & newspaper canvasser. He alleges that he loaned Duckworth $65 on the lat- ter's prommn!g to secure for him & posi- tlon in the Mint. He learned last night Chaplain Clark of the Seventh California | that Duckworth was going to Mexico | | without fulfilling his-promise, hence hi3| grinted them & final discharge in arrest. ————— Alcatraz Parlor.

In “Jimmy” Creegan, the forger, the police have a guest on their hands who is causing them considerable worry. The police, after weeks of weary labor, finally succeeded in worming the story of the forgery from the lips of the prisoner and now they are at a loss as to what to do with him. Chief Lees, Captain Seymour, Henry Ach, Peter Dunne and Henry Me- Pike met in Judge Wallace’s chambers yesterday morning to determine on the final disposition to be made in the case of the notorious “middleman.,” Lees stated that Creegan should ¢ be leniently dealt with and asked Mr. Dunne, Becker's at- torney, a8 to his opinion of the matter. “You have taken Creegan as a witness for the people,” sald Mr. Dunne, * you must now look after his interest: Nothing was accomplished at the meeting, which is amusing through the fact that the prosecution should call upon the de- fense to help it golve the problem and es- cape from the pl thl in which it finds it- self. Becker will not turn State's evi- dence without promise of reward, and if he does turn State's evidenee the Jury will not believe him, so the prosecution has Creegan on its hands Wwighout the abllity to profitably use him. THEODORE FIGEL NOW A FREE MAN NINE CASES AGAINST HIM ARE DISMISSED, His Prosecution Cost the City Over Ten Thousand Dollars With- out Any Result. Theodore Figel must no longer battle with the law for his freedom. Figel was acquitted some time ago of the charge of murder against him, it having been al- leged that he was the slayer of Isaac Haoffman, and yesterday seven charges of embezzlement and two of forgery, pre- ferred against him by the firm of Hoff- man, Rothchild & Co., were dismissed on motion of the District Attorney. The motion to wsmiss the cases was made at the direction of District Attorney Barnes in a letter received by Acting Dis- trict Attorney Hinckle a few days ago. District Attorney Barnes stated that in his opinion no conviction in either of the cases could be had, as the only witness on whom the prosecution could rely for a conviction was Hoffman_ himself, and a bullet ended his life, el’'s name is now.cleared from the criminal calendar. Over $10,000 was expended by the city in the prosecution of Figel withou. result, and with no prospects of a conviction Dis- trict Attorney Barnes decided that it is to the best interests of the people to dis- miss all cases against the accused book- —— Durie Heither’s Mother. At a meeting of the Relief Assoclation of the Foresters and Companions pf the Forest of America, held last night, a statement was made to the effect that Mrs, Matt Heithier, mother of Durie Hei- thier, the young girl who on the 16th of last month shot herself on account of an indi- vidual named George Alexander, was in destitute circumstances. The further statement was made that she i3 a member of the circle of Companions of the Forest of Sonora, and that shortly before the at- tempted suicide of her daighter her home in Sonora was destroyed by fire, It was | stated that {t was a case that called for | assistance on the part of the association, and on motion it was voted to donate her Inquiry at the German Hospital last | night developed the fact that while there was no material change in Miss Heithier's condition, little hope Wwas entertained of | her ultimate recovery.

FLEET HARES LEAD HOUNDS A MERRY CHASE Great Sport at Ingle~ side Park. LONG RACES ARE THE ORDER FLATTERER BEATS HADIWIST IN A GREAT CONTFST. The Puppy and the All - Age Stake to be Run To-Day Have an Open Look. Sensatlonal svort marked the coursing at Ingleside Park yesterday. The hares ran throughout the day as though they were on their native heath at Merced, and led the fleetest dog on the coast a merry chase. The average time of the courses was over one minute, an unusua. period on an inclosed field. The course between Golden Russett and Fear Nof required three minutes and four seconds in its de- cision; that between Depend On Me and ‘Woodbine two minute¢s and forty-five sec- onds, and False Flatterer and Hadiwist two minutes and ten seconds, The latter race was one of the greatest ever seen at Ingleside Park. The Flat- terer was favorite, the odds varying but little from 2 to 1. The hare was a clinker and led the two fast dogs ail over the field. . It was essentially a contest that the spectators could enjoy, the dogs for a time racing out in front of the grand stand. For a time the hare favored Hadi- wist, and the clever fawn dog ran up a goodly number of points. The English dog was not to be denied, however, and once well on the hare he soon had a safe lead on his opponent. This he maintained to the finish, winning finally by the score of 18 to 15, Next to this the great match of the day was between Mac's Melody and- Young america. The first time out they ran an “‘undecided,” which was but a short course, and served merely as a "f»ipe opener.” The second time they had a long bruising course and again scored an even number of points. The owner of Mac's Melody wished to withdraw her at this point, ‘but the rule of the park would not permit him to do so. She proved one of the gamest bitches that- ever left the hands of Slipper Grace. She won ulti- mately by a score of 19 to 7, alter & run of two minutes and forty-six seconds. As though this was not enough for her, she started up a loose hare before she could be caught and coursed it across the fleld until ?\s finally ran herself to a stand- still, g{er exertions in this course robbed her of any chances she might have had for the stake to-day. Bit of Fashion is thought to have the best chance for this, with Eleven Spot second choice. The all-age stake has an open look to it with such well known performers still in as Moondyne, False Flatterer, Patrie, Billy Gladstone and others. 'he hares and the dogs are running in such splendid form that the sport to-day should be of the highest class.

At a meeting of the Precita Valley Im- provement Club last night a petition was circulated among the members for their signatures, requesting the Supervisors to have ten hydrants placed at sueh locali- ties in_the neighborhood as most neces- sary for the protection to dwellings against fire. & 5 he action of the Supervisors in not ap- propriating a sufficlent sum of money to fill in_ Bernal Park was severely com- mented on by the members, as the board had time and again promised to have the waterhole obliterated before -the coming winter rains make a lake out of it.. The club’s executive committee reported that the condition of the Bryant street sewer is a disgrace to the city authori- ties, the sewage from the ~Columbia Grammar School being permitted to drain on the surface of the earth at the mouth of the open sewer. This flithy condition ha# been reported to the health officials and the members of the Board of Super- Visors, but so far no notice has been taken of it, much to the disgust of the residents of the valley. Ask Aid for Children’s Hospital. The Children’'s Hospital Is sorely in need of funds. Its managers appeal to the public for assistance as a last resort, and hope that funds stfficient to maintain the institution for some time will be con- tributed. Many pitiful cases are being treated under its shelter, and it would be a subject of regret if the good work of the past years should have to be dis- continued for lack of money. BRODERICK -WARNS i THE CONTRACTORS BIDS ON FURNITURE WILL NOT BE. LEGAL. Board of Supervisors Had No Right to Authorize the Furnishing of the Hall of Justice. | The resolution of the Board of Super- visors which proposes to make it possible to expend $85,000 in furnishing the Hall of | Justice has brought Auditor Broderick to his feet with the old-time light of battle in his eye. e To all contractors who are attracted by this fair prospect of big pickings he has {ssued his ultimatum. It is to the effect that:the resolution is Xllefal and that-contractors who may be unfortunate enough to secure the con= tract will find- their claims stranded in the Auditor’s office. In a putshell Mr. Broderick's warning is as found in the following short statement - made by him yesterday: “The Supervisors lack - jurisdietion in the matter, and, as the building has not béen turned over to them, they cannot fure . nish it without the authority of the;Legis- lature. If the contract is awarded it will | be illegal, and- the ‘contractors may find « it impossible to collect any of their money from the- cit, ——— SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WAR. . Professor Bernard Moses Lectures on - the Trouble With Spain, Bernard Moses, professor of history and political economy at the State University, delivered an instructive decture at the Mechanics' Institute Library-last” night. His .subject was the *‘Historical Signifi- cance of the War With Spain.” He began by tracing the history of Spain’s colonial possessions in America: “She had explored a iarge territory,” the learned fecturer, “‘and she failed to hold it because she was greedy for wealth and exacted tribute from her col- onists. She fafled bécause she was intol- erant and made religious belief a test of gaod citizenship.
