A goad $1.30’s worth Looks as if these $1.30 hats were going to be the most popular hats we ever sold. You would think so if you saw the big number we sold last Saturday. _ Giving such a value we expected that the hats would sell, so we bought 1200, but it seems as if we L would have to duplicate the order soon. Hats come in stiff and soft shapes in all the popular colors. See the window full of them. Out-of-town orders filled—write us for new illustrated catalogue No. 2. AMUSEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS.

Nov. 23.—Judge Angel- SAN RAFAEL, | estate of ex-State Senator Frank de Long | to-a allowing 4 1-10 cents on the dollar ‘V to the creditors of the estate. This will probably settle for all time the bickering creditors over the disposition of the prop- erty made by Assignee Henry Plerce. Through the death of his father De Long came into the possession of about [ 15,000 acres of valuable farming land in the vicinity of Novato. So much of this property lost by unfortunate lation that in 1563 De Long made a volun- tary assignment for the benefit of his creditors, and Henry Pierce of Oakland as appointed assignee. When the as- signment was made De Long was con- ducting a dairy and farming industry on land apparently incumbered for more than its value. This use of the land was per- mitted by Plerce for seventeen months, | though the law provides that all the prop- erty of an insolvent debtor shall be sold without undue loés of time. No objec- tions were made by the creditors, as this | procedure was beneficial to thelr interests. | This property was finally sold. | Assignee Plerce’s final accounts as pre- sented to Judge Angellotti showed the en- | ! tire receipts of the sale of the property | amounted to $397,820 43. After all pre- ferred claims had been pald there re- mained for the creditors generally the | sum of $11,941 £9. Plerce's claim as as- signee’s fee was $16,000, but Judge Angel- lotti helds that the price paid for the land only, 000, as fixed by the San Francisc nion, which held the ingly Plerce's fee entered by his Honor the dividend. If en reduced, instead dend of 4 1-10 cents on the dollar would have been the entire to all the creditors, who vould have recelved in the neighborhood of about 1-1000 of a mill apiece. of a amoun!

The first work was to put in the foundation for the upright supports of the bridge. These consisted of nests of piles driven into the ground thirty-two feet, and on top of each sixteen feet of concrete, all being covered with a heavy cap of granite. This work was done several months ago and allowed to harden, so en the heavy steel was placed in position it was as solid as the earth will be finished.
