Im- portant tax laws on property and for in- ternal taxation, which it is thought will gupply ampie revenues for the next fiscal year, and other important measures were enacted.

The report shows that Wal- | den, absconding bookkeeper of the mill, | | stole bags valued at $363750, and that | | while the prison books do not afford any ‘furthr evidence of his crimes there is every réason to belleve that on n.nolher‘ occasion he stole sixty-five bales of bags | and sold them. The books of the late | Clerk Ellls were also examined by the ex- perts and found o be correct. The report is & voluminous one and en- ters into the details of the examination made by the experts of the only availa- ble books at the jute mill. These books only go back to 18%6. When the amount of raw jute on hand was checked off it} was found that eight bales, valued at| $105, were missing. ‘This shortage was first discovered in the early part of 1599 | by the shipping clerk in charge of the | warehouse. He informed the experts that Walden told him at that time tbat he would adjust the matter in his own books. | When the bales of bags in the warehouse | were counted a shortage of one bale, also | dating back many years, was found. All| shipments were found to be accounted for | i paid for since 1896, except the fol-! |lowing: October 9, 1887, 2000 imperfect | | bags, valued at $5; October 18, 1898, 15,- | 0 bags, valued at $727 50; September 1900, valued at Sld O: | | tober 12, 1500, ¢ A | making 'a total deficit of $3637 50. All thesc | Al bags were bought by Joseph Levy Walden, who pocketed the proceeds. scrutiny of the sales of imperfect bags | | revealed nothing very extraordinary. The largest sale in any was 33,000 ba | in 1896, at a price $137 75 less than Wi | have been brought by good bags. The report further says: While our duty has been to ascertain and report to you such facts as we could deduce from the books and from them alone, we de- | sire to state that all of the numerous state- | ments which have been made in connection | | Sk " e sabjecs of thisinvestigation, and | Which have come to our ears. have received our mos: careful attention.

The | t something wrong existed about that | lden in the shipping register on June | 4 1897, recording the receipt from the mill of | 11,00 bags on February 3 of the same year, opposite which he has written a note in red tnk: *'Sent out from mill February 3 and not | | recetpted for. C. J. W.” On February 3 there | | are the traces in the ne book of an entry consisting_of a corresponding number of fig- | ures in the ‘receipts” column, which haxi rs out the idea that times past from the out ~any record In the case in juld appear that the whole quan- g5 shown by the warehouse ledger not to be on hand in the fail of 18%, and that thereupon Walden Mmstructed the convict who was in charge of the baling | department in the jute mill to send fifty bales | of bags to the warehouse without entering them in the mlill books either as made or shipped, and that he told the warehouse ship- ping clerk to make no entry of their having been received. Later, it seems, more bags were found to be on hand than the books calied 4 hence the 11,000 bags were entered as been received. In order to suppress the fact that bags had been manufactured and delivered without en- tries in the mill books, “‘manufacturin statements’” made at the close of each fis. | cal year, and usually at the close of each hal | vear, would have to be falsi , and this is | to which we have given considerable about which we have had several fon: vith the present mill superin- For several years Walden was prac- tically in sole charge of the entire jute depart- | ment, and consequently there are no absolutely independent records whereby the figures of his statements can be thoroughly checked; but we have seen two or three of his annual and semi-annual statements which are grosely mis- leading. In connection with the disappearance of the books prior to 1896, the experts call | attention to the fact that they found many valuable records cut and mutilated in the disued furniture factory. While the books of the “jute revolving fund” | were found to be badly kept, nothing was discovered to lead to the belfef that they had been tampered with by Walden. The Commissioners will meet at San Quentin next Saturday to dis the re- port and decide if it be advisable to en- gage the experts to endeavor to recon- Struct a new set of books from the rec- ords still remaining at the penitentiary. In the meantime a communication wiil be sent to the Governor, asking him to offer a sultable reward for the arrest of Wal- den. The Commissioners, after a lengthy dis- cussion, decided to fix the price of bags at $ 64 per hundred for the coming sea- son. Warden Aguirre announced that he had received up to the present time 2300 orders for bags in 2000 lots. i Commissioner Devlin sald that he was in the possession of information that some | one was traveling through the State so- liciting farmers to send in orders for prison-made bags at the prison price, promising to take them off their hands at an advanced rate. He was anxious to | | know if there was not some way of check- | ing_the fraud. . | " what can we or Warden Aguirre do? | asked Chairman Fitzgerald. “If we re- | ceive an order for any number of bags { under 2000, and the order is accompanied t by the necessary affidavit, we must under | the law furnish them. We cannot send a | man_out to ascertain if every order pre- sentéd is bona-fide and that the party giv- ing the order wants the bags for his own personal use. If he send the affidavit re- quired we cannot go back of it, unless we know that he is committing ‘perjury and is buying the bags as an agent, This state of affairs has been going on for vears, and I do not see how we can stop hee Warden Aguirre suggested that the Leg- {slature be asked to pass a bill mnksngfi a felony for any one to make false affida- vit in order to get prison-made bags. The Commissioners looked favorably upon the suggestion and will discuss the matter at the next meeting. and’ this ever being kept s was_discr No One Dare to Take Up the Chal- lenge. The Pattoslen Company a few weeks ago organized a great challenge sale in furniture and carpets, defying all furni- ture housges to sell as cheap. It was got up to convince the public that this firm sells every article cheaper than others, not as some stated to our patrons that we do not eell all of our stock cheaper than they do. No one dared to. take up the challenge. This proves that we stand alone in the field as the low price house in high grade furniture. This sale has proved a great success. Wae therefore wi!l continue the same until further notice. Meanwhile people should watch the bar- gains in carpets and furniture. Corner Sixteenth and Mission. S ————— Lincoln Monument League.

It would seem at first glance that catarrh, being a disease of the mucous membrane, salves, sprays, etc., being applied difectly to the membranes of the nose and throat would be the most ra- tional treatment, but this has been proven not to be true. The mucous membrane is made and ve- paired from the blood and catarrh is a blood disease and any remedy to make a permanent cure must act on the blood, and when the blood is purified from ca- tarrhal poison, the secretions from the mucous membrane will become natural and heallhez In this climate thousands of people seem scarcely ever free from some form of catarrh; it gets better at times, but each winter becomes gradually deeper seated and after a time the sufferer resigns him- self to it as 3 necessary evil, Catarrh cures are almost as numerous as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly all so nconvenlent and ineffective as to render their use @ nulsance nearly as annoyt: as catarrh itself; any one who has u.‘;fi douches spra{s and powders will bear witness to their inconvenience and faflure to_really cure. There are a number of excellent Internal remedies for catarrh,-but probably the best and certainly the safest is a new remedy, composed of eucalyptol, hydras- tis, sanguinaria and other valuable ca- tarrh specifics. "This remedy is in tablet form, pleasant to the taste and sold by druggists under the name of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, ani any one suffering from catarrh may use these tablets with absolute assurance that | they contain no cocaine, opiate nor any olsonous mineral whatever. A leading druggist in Albany, speaking of catarrh cures, says: “I have sold va- Tious catarrh cures for vears. but have hever sold any which gave such general satisfaction as Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets. They contain in a pleasant, eoncentrated form all the best and latest catarrh reme- dies, and catarrh sufferers who have used Gouches, sprays and salves have been olentened &t il quick relief and perma- nent results obtained after a week's usa tuart's Catarrh Tablets.” All drug- O S ual Pull Sized packages for.50 cents i = | All-Wool Business iSults, made to order, $15.50, $17.50, | $20.00......

The executive committee of the Califor- nia Miners' Assoclation met last evening at the Union League €lub rooms to take action on certain bills now before the Tegislature and to hear a report from As- semblyman Ralston as to tne bill betore the Legislature providing for an' appro- priation of $150,000 toward the expense of the work to be carried out by the'('njl- fornia Debrls Commission of the United States. ;l’::mcnt E. C. Voorhies occupied the chair, and a large number of the mem- bers of the executive committee of the ssoclation was present. k;:;e};nblymln Ralston, in defending his action as chalrman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Assembly in vot- ing against the $150,000 appropriation, said that he had done o in the interests of the taxpayers of the State. The State of Cali- tornia had already appropriated $250,000 for the work of building the impounding barriers, a like sum having been voted by Congress. The Federal engineers who had drawn the plans now stated that $300,000 more was required, of which sum Cali- fornia must furnish one-haif. The work was_experimental, and he favored the ex- penditure of a- portion of the $500,000 available before more money should be A A G eneral Ford stated that the Government engineers would not begin less the lotij gu';n" gleq\u:;d Vi le. The work of building tha s i barriers could only be carried out as a unit; part of it could not be done. The Federal engineers were posi- tive that if the barriers were bullt h{- draulic mining could be resumed and the injury to the valleys by taillng would be averted. He argued that if Congress was willing at the present time to appropriate $150,000 California should do the same, and it the Btate Legislature refused to make or an g o iy 'oi')nvlu Lieutenant Governor Major McBride, Mr. Halloran and others also favored the State appropria- tion, and Mr. Ralston sald he would bow to the wishes expressed and support the bill.

In the early history of rallroadin throughout the states of Illinois and Colorade, there never Wwas a more popular employe than George W. Gray. By his careful and shrewd management of the details of his office, Mr. Gray became one of the most valued employes of this great corporation. But Mr. Gray had contracted that deadly l.fl'hcticn known as Bright's Dise: He had terrible, exeru- clating pains in the back, hips, and through the shoulders the urine was of a red, brick-dust color; he felt weak, siug- gish and emaclated; had no ambition; had to get up, as Mr. Gray says himself, twenty tim in a night to urinate: he Wwas nervous and could not sleep at night. Doctors were con- sulted, but ali shook their heads, saying there hope, and as one doctor in particular said: “Mr. Gray, you will be dead in I than one week.” And per- haps Mr. Gray would have digd bad he not known of that wonderful ramed}', McBurney's Kidney and Bladder Cure.
