Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 8. AYOR SNOW Is of the opinion that there are altogether too many irre- sponsibles carrying pistols around in their hip pockets. Permits .to carry guns have been issued very freely for the past few years, and there are several thousand people in Oakland who have a legal right to carry @ gun. Mr. Snow declares this is all wrang, leads to frequent shoot- ings and occasfonal murder, which would not help to disgrace the city if this pistol carrying were not permitted. As the permits are brought in to the Mayor to be renewed the applicant has to show extraetdinary cause why he should be permitted to carry an arsenal before.the- Mayor will reissue the permit. Up to date more permits have been refused than reissued. " “This gun-carrying business,” said Mayor Snow, “is all nonsense. This city 18 not infested with thugs and dangerous characters, and there is no necessity for a man to walk around prepared to kill anybody on sight. In some instances a man may need a gun, if his duty take him into certain por- tions of the city at night, but the average citizen certainly has no excuse whatever for packing a pistol, and I do not intend that there shall be so many pistols In use as there are at present.” 4 122 088 DB O ERISICHR DS VRIS futisiofuitwi e wi e el eh S u g ad N w i p el ke hed wi N Wit wherein he alleges: “That plaintiff, Mary Gooby, is a large and muscular woman, weighing about twice as much as defend- ant, and physically is abie to handle and abuse said defendant, who i physically a small, aged and decrepit man of T4 years, plaintiff being his junior by twenty years.” Gooby avers that his ex-wife has an ungovernable and desperate disposition and temper; that she has by stealth and force taken possession of a room in_his house at Seventh and Linden streets, Oak- land, and within the last six months has threatened to shoot him if he dared come Wherefore he has been prevented near. collecting the rents of his property. John asks that the Superior Court oust his former wife, Mary, and order her to leave him undisturbed in peace and tranquillity. —_—————————— MUST ANSWER FOR MURDER. James Gilligan Held for the Killing of Epperson. OAKLAND, April 8.—Recorder Bradford at Emeryville this afternoon held James J. Gilligan to answer before the Superior Court on a charge of murdering Jockey John Epperson at the Office saloon near the racetrack last month. The preliminary hearing commenced be- fore Recorder Bradford at 2 o’clock this | afternoon. Officers Hodgkins and Green testified that when they arrested the ac- cused’ at his San Francisco home-he con- | fessed the killing, but said he had done it in self-defense. P. Droese, a horseman, -stified that at the scene of the murder | he saw Gilligan and Epperson fighting and that Epperson was on top, while Gil- ligan held a knife in his hand. — ee——— Decline the Gift of a Building. ALAMEDA, April 8.—Sonle weeks ago the Woman's Excha desiring to dis- incorporate, offered to present the city its building on Park street to be converted into_am emergency hospital. Last night the Board of Health, to whom the offer was referred by the City Trustees, decided § 1d not accept the building 2s a gift. | found that the expense o. the structure to the City Hall lot and r modeling it for the purpose intended would be greater than the cost of con- | structing a new building.

City Attorney W. A. Dow _on behalf of the city defendant has filed a similar answer. Contractor Johnson at the same time filed suit in the Superior Court against F. W.

Johnson also alleges that | by reason of Ruppert's suit his credit has | been injured and the work of dredging | the lake uselessly delayed. The issues now being joined, Attorney de Golla immediately secured an order setting the Rupperi-Johnson suit down for trial for next Friday, April 14, before Judge Elisworth. The mandamus proceedings instituted | by Contractor Johnson to ecompel City Treasurer Gilpin to pay him the first in- stallment and partial payment on the dredging contract will be heard and prob- | | ably finally determined before Judge Gréene on Thursday, the day previous.

V. PERrcE, the author An important the popularity of this work, is suggested by the two central Sense.” It has been the author’s aim in ‘this work to strip from medical information its useless verbiage and tell the truth in plain English. No phrase can better express the secret of Dr. Pierce’s power or explain his success than that brief phrase “Common Sense.” The theory formulated by Dr. Pierce that « diseases which originate in the stomach must be cured through the stomach,” is a common sense theory. The alterative medicine, Golden Medical Discovery,” which Dr. Pierce invented to = cure diseases of the stomach and its allied organs, is a common sense medicine. Its cures are COomimnon sense cures. A foul stomach fouls all the food which is put-into it. It is the food which is made into life-sustaining blood. The stomach, therefore, which befouls the food befouls the blood which is made from the food. Thus, the symptoms indicating foul or impure blood are, in general, symptoms indicating a foul or diseased condition of the stomach. Erup- tions, palpitation, weak lungs, sluggish liver, and scores of other diseases have been cured again and again when ‘Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has cured -the weak stomach and re- stored the other organs of digestion and nutrition to a condition of healthy activity. The § testimonial which follows is supported by thousands equally : strong and equally reliable. “‘ Something over two years ago I com- menced to have an extremely tired, worn-out feeling and kept getting worse,”” writes Mrs. ‘W. S. Lindsey, of Chetopa, Labette Co., Kans. * Almost everything I ate would sour on my stomach and cause diarrhea, and I had such a heavy feeling in my right side, just opposite my stomach, that T could not iie on my left side. It seemed that the weight in my right side was tearing some- thing loose whenever I would try to lie on my left side, and then I commenced to have such a terrible pain in my stomach and right side. It would shift from my stomach to my side and then back again, and every time the pain would get harfier, and it would last hours at a time. Nothing would ease me in the least except laudanum, and I would have to take two or three doses before that would help. Nobody knows what I suffered. In the first place, these spells would be two or three weeks apart, but at last they came on regularly every otherday. They would com- mence about eight o’clock in the morning and last until nine or ten o’clock at night. Itried three different doctors; one said it was ma- laria, and gave me so much calomel that it almost killed me. Another doctor said it was my liver; his medicine helped me fora short time and then the trouble came back harder than ever. The other doctor said, ‘I think I know what ails you,’ but his medi- cine did not help at all. " I felt that my time was short, and I was perfectly discouraged. I could not bear to think of leaving my little children, but was so down-hearted and weak I could hardly crawl around. Was in bed most of the time. My mother said, ‘Try Dr. R. V. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery; others recommend it, and I notice his adver- tisement in everything I pick up.” My hus- band bought a bottle. I did not feel much better after taking the first bottle, but m busband bought another and said, ‘ We wil giveita trial.’ Before I had taken all of the second bottle I felt better and com- menced to work a little, I have taken six bottles, and now I am able to do all of my or side any more. God has surely blessed your medicine, and I recommend it to every- one, it is helping her.” [DR.
