Central Pacific’s debt to the Govern- ment has been effected it is probable that both the Surf-Elwood and Ven- tura-Santa Monica gaps will be given early and energetic attention. From Ventura to Los Angeles by way of Saugus is about eighty-one miles, with a grade of 1 per cent between Ven- tura and Saugus and a steeper grade to and beyond the San Fernando tun- nel. Between Ventura and Los Ange- | les, by way of Santa Monica, the dis- tance is only seventy-one miles, with a grade not to exceed 1 per cent at any point. Recently Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern Pacific ordered a sur- vey of the coast line between Ventura and Santa Monica direct. It is esti- mated that the cost of construction will be high, in the neighborhood of $50,000 a mile, owing to the rough and broken character of the shore line. The actual distance to be built will be about forty- five miles, though the distance between | fifty- | Ventura and; Santa Monica is Existing spurs and branch lines will be used as connecting points. The town of Santa Monica, it is cal culated, will be greatly benefited by being placed on the main line, and as the Southern Pacific is a large holder of property there this additional mo- tive exists for the contemplated new link.

DECLARES HIS [INNOCENCE ACCUSED OF STEALING FIRE- MEN’S ASSOCIATION FUNDS. Evaded Arrest for Many Days, but Was Finally Found in Bed at His Home by Two Officers. John Dougherty, the alleged defaulting treasurer of the Pacific Coast Firemen's Association, was arrested last night by Sergeant Donovan and Detective Cody, at his home on Gilbert street. He offered no resistance and was at once taken to the City Prison, where he was formally charged with felony embezzlement. Dougherty is charged with appropriat- ing $17,000 of the funds of the association while acting as its treasurer. Shortly af- ter the alleged theft was discovered the president of the association visited police headquarters and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Dougherty, charging him with _felony embezziement. Dougherty was East at the time, but returned a few weeks ago to learn that the police were earching for him. ‘Armed with the warrant Detective Cody visited his house, but was unable to find the treasurer. By dint of inquiry Cody learned that after returning to this city, Dougherty, fearing arrest, took refuge in the hoid of a ship, which was lying at the | foot of Third street. He remained in| Cody located him at the lat- | ter place, and started after him. In somé way Dougherty learned of the detective’'s movements and went to San | Jose. terday morning Cody._learned | that Dougherty had gone to San_ Jose, and determined to arrest him. When the | for Baden. | | detective reached the Garden City he was | surprised to find that the bird had flown. | Convinced that Dougherty was on his | way back to this city, Cody took the re- turn train, arriving hére last night. Ac- companied by Sergeant Donovan he went Dougherf house on Gilbert street. Donovan_covered the rear door so as to prevent Dougherty from escaping, while Cody entered t house from the front. Dougherty was found in bed, and as the detective approached him he angrily de- manded to know the object of his visit. Cody, after reading the warrant to him, ordered him to dress himself, which he did. He was then escorted to the City Prizon and locked up. His bonds have been fixed at $20,000. ! Dougherty denies that he stole the funds of the association. He says that before he went East he turned over his | books and also the funds of the associa- tion to Financial Secretary Ward. He expresses the bellef that he will be | discharged at the conclusion of his exam- ination in the Police Court | ol b A NEW POUNDKEEPER. J. W. Walton of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Succeeds Osborn. | The Society for the Prevention of Cru- elty to Animals has won its long and stubborn fight for possession of the pub- | lic pound. The Heaith and Police Com- mittee of the Supervisors, at its meeting | yesterday, appointed James W. Walton, | & member of the society, poundkeeper, to succeed F. A. Osborn. This is confidently expected to put an end to the long series of scandals which - attached to this public institution management was taken from its ety for political purposes. Mr. s administration of the office is | to prove a capable one. For | some time the work of the men employed | by the retiring official has been such as | to bring odium to_the office, and the first | work of the new Wead of tiie department will be to correct all this. | The committee reported against grant- ing permission to Dr. B. C. Atterbury to open a hospital and dispensary for Chi- | nese on Washington street. It was con- | sidered a nuisance and a detriment to | adjacent property. | —_———————— | A Good Meeting Place. | You will find nearly every prominent business man in the city at 12 o'clock at Zinkand's for lunch. . —_———— Struck by an Ambulance. While Mrs. Mills, who lives at 311 Polk | street, and Mrs. Herring, wife of Police | Officer Herring, were crossing Market | street near the junction of McAllister | street yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mills was | struck and knocked down by one of the | city ambulances. Her companion stepped back and was also struck down by a team going the same way as the ambulance. | Both women were badly bruised and cut, | Mrs. Herring being so badly injured about the hips that she will be confined to her| bed for several days. They were taken | into J. J. O'Brien’s store and afterward sent home in carriages. A peculiar thing regarding the accident was the conduct of the driver of the ambulance. Instead of stopping to_see how badly the women were_injured he whipped up his horses | and drove rapidly away. It is not known | which ambulance did the damage, but the police are making a searching investiga- | tion. Allcock’s POoROUS PIASTERS Why are Allcock’s the best plasters?

Relief Society of i e The work of the average woman, whether she be'in charge of a ho hold, where the work is always doing, but never done, or behind a counter, or in a schoolroom, is of a sort that rarely leaves her with strength or inclination for anything else. The strain upon most women’s nerves is so great that a breakdown stares many of them constantly in the face, which means loss of work, doctor’s bills and discouragement. One of the earliest and one of the most infallible indications of failing nervous strength is the inability to sleep soundly. No fact is more clearly established than that sleep repairs the tired nerv. ous tissues and that the loss of sleep deranges the health more quickly and more seriously than any other pri tion the body can suffer. The great effort, then, of every poor sleeper should that hundreds of men and women in every community have been cured of | insomnia by Paine’s celery compound tells its own story of the invigorating | not | effect of this wonderful remedy, only upon the nerves, but upon the en- | tire nervous system.

Pale- | ness, thinness of body and weakness | are evidences of poor blood. In some cases palpitation of the heart*is com- | plained of, and when the poverty is | greatest the lips are pallid and the | tongue almost colorless. | In these cases of anaemia if Paine's | celery compound is used the gain from day to day is plainly noticeable.
