STOCKTON, April 20.—By a vote of nearly 23 to 1, Stockton to-day voted $150,- 000 bonds with which to build a new high school building. The question of bending the city for this purpose has been discussed for several years and under the impetus of the general forward move- ment, the friends of the measure have ac- complished their hopes.

The habit of drudgery, of using the scrubbing brush and the scrub bucket, blinds them to the possibilities of easier and more modern meth- ods—to the comfort that comes with the use of GOLD DUST Washing Powder. Women who use GOLD DUST see their homes grow brighter and their work grow lighter, for it cleans everything better, guicker, easier and cheaper than soap or any other cleanser. What is the use of going it blind and being a drudge when you can get GOLD DUST ? Housework is hard work with- out it. For greatest economy buy the large package. The N.K. Fairbank Company Chicago St. Louis New York Boston Montreal DOES NOT WANT FUND EXPENDEL Braunhart Opposes In- vestigation of Public Utilities. Buildings Used for Lodging Houses Must Be Made Fireproof. Supervisor Brunhart vigorously opposed the adoption of a resolution providing for the additional expenditureof funds for the investigation of public utilities at yester- day’s meeting of the board. The resolu- tion directs the City Engineer to make plans and furnish estimates of the cost of the ownership and completion by the city of water works having their sources of supply from the Stanislaus River or the Tuolumne River: also to include the cost of transmitting electric power from the sources named to tHis city. The expenses incurred are to be paid out of the appropriation remaining in the public utilities fund, which City Engineer Grunsky has stated will be exhausted at the end of the fiscal year. Nolwithstand- ing Braunhart's opposition the resolution was adopted. Heights of Buildings. The ordinance limiting the height of buildings used for hospital purposes to four stories and providing that they be of brick or other fireproof material, was laid over for one week. McCarthy opposed the ordinance limit- ing the height of buildings to be used for hotel or lodging house purposes to sixty feet. The ordinance was then passed and the limitation eliminated but requiring such bulldings to be constructed of fire- proof materials. The ordinances granting permission to J. L. Flood to erect a building 180 feet in height on Market and Powell streets, and to C. E. Green and H. T. Scott to erect a twelve story building on Geary and Powell streets were finally passed. Simi- lar permission was granted to the Mu- tual bank for a building on Market street near Kearny. The Board of Health was reguested to direct its chemist to make analyses of the water of the Spring Valley works four times each month. Regulates Digging Up Streets. The ordinance prohibiting the digzing up of any public street without a permit from the Board of Works was finally passed. The ordinance accepting the grant of a right of way at Bernal station from the Southern Pacific Company was finally passed. The tax pavers in the vicinity of Ber- nal Station filed a petition requesting that the Southern Pacific Company be com- pelled to remove the fence now obstruct- ing St. Mary’s avenue £o that it may con- nect with the old San Jose road and Roan- oke street. The ordinance defining the fire limits was passed to print. Attorney Thomas F. Pendergast pe- titioned the board on behalf of the whole- sale sheep butchers that the pound ordin- ance be considered by the Judiciary Com- mittee or the City Attorney in order that the legal rights of the citizens may not be infringed. The Mayor was authorized to arrange for the electric lighting of the City Hall dome on the occasion of President Mc- Kinley's visit. VICTIM OF ASTHMA ENDS HIS SUFFERING Former San Francisco Restaurant Owner Commits Suicide in Seattle. SEATTLE, April’ 20.—Despondent over financial straits, discouraged by continual failure to obtain employment and worn out by a chronic attack of asthma, which he had_ suffered for more than twenty years, Peter Miller, aged 50, this morning committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. The man's act of _destruction was accom- plished on the sidewalk on James street, a few yards above Fifth avenue, and less than twenty yards from his rooming- house at 515 James street. Miller had been employed in local restaurants and just a few days ago was endeavoring to obtain the management of a hotel in_the country near Index. Evi- dently he had no relatives in this country. In former years he owned a restaurant in San Francisco. Previous to this year he operated a hotel in Skaguay, Alaska. McGOVERN TO REFEREE NEILL-TREMBLE FIGHT BAKERSFIELD, April 20.—The fight between Al Neill and Jim Tremble, which is to be brought off in Scribner's Opera- house on Thursday night, promises to at- tract hundreds of sports, not only be- cause of the fighters themselves but for the reason that the bout will be refereed by Terry McGovern. According to a tele- gram received here to-day, McGovern ar- rives in this city on Thursday morning, accompanied by his wife, Sam Harris, Danny Dougherty and Joe Humphries. Prior to the main event McGovern will box a four-round exhibition bout with his sparring partner, Dougherty. Within a few days he will go into training for his fight with Herrera, the local undefeated featherweight. It is possible the fight will be brought off in Fresno, as fight pro- moters in that city intimate that they will put up a big purse for the go. Dave Sullivan Bests McClelland.’ LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 20.—Jack Me- Clelland of Pittsburg was knocked out in the twentieth round to-night by Dave Sul- livan of Brooklyn. The contest was be- fore the Southern Athletic Club., Three thousand persons saw the fight. The men welghed 126 pounds at 3 p. m. When Mec- Clelland got the knockout nine out of ten in the swouse thought Sullivan did not have steam enough left to knock out a chjld. He was, however, playing his us- ual waiting game, and when the opening came Sullivan sent his opponent down for eight seconds ‘with a left and right upper- cut. He repeated the dose when McClel- Jand got up and the latter went down for keeps. Before the fight it was announced that one month from to-night Terry McGovern would meet the winner before the South- ern Athletic Club. A challenge to meet the winner was also announced from Clarence Ritchie of San Francisco. Rt Matthews Gets the Decision. LOUISVILLE, K April 20.—Matty Matthews of Brooklyn got the decision to- night_in_a twenty-round contest for the Welter-welght championship of the world over Tom Couhig of Dunkirk, N. Y. Cou- hig had all the better of the fight up to the elghth round, but in the ninth Mat- thews landed a counle of stiff punches on Couhig’s nose, breaking it. ~Matthews continued playing for Couhig’s broken nose and in the eighteenth round landed a hard one on Couhig’s eye, cutting it bad- ly. The fight was given to Matthews in the twentieth round, but the decision was unfavorably received by the crowd. e bout took place under the auspices of the New Monarch Athletic Club. —_— Withdraws in Conger’s Favor. SIOUX CITY, Towa, April 20.—George D. Perkins has withdrawn from the contest for the Iowa Republican gubernatorial nomination. In announcing his withdraw- al, he said: Y“BEdwin H.

WANT COMPANY T0 PAVE STREE Supervisors Seek ion as to Power Legislate. Valley Road Gets Franchise. Money for Panhandle Appraisers. Supervisor Reed presented a resolution at the meeting of the board yesterday which is intended to determine the rights of the board in the matter of raising the license on street cars and compelling the Market-street Raflway Company to keep its roadways paved. The resolution fol- lows: Resolved, That the City Attorney Is requested to give his opinion to the Board of Supervisors on the following three questions: First—What is the duty of the Market Street Railway Company with ~respect to keeping Market street- paved, and has this board au- thority to compel the said company to repave the space between its tracks on Market street in the same manner that the municipality has paved the remainder of the street? Second—Does the fact that some of the fran- chises of the Market Street Railway Company provide that no higher annual license than $15 a street car may be Imposed have any force or effect to prevent Boards of Supervisors un- der the charter from making a different and higher rate of taxation? Third—Under subdivision 27 of section 1, chapter II, article II of the charter, where it is proyided that the Board of Supervisors shall have the power ‘‘to fix, establish and reduce the fares and charges for transporting pas- sengers and goods’ on street rallways, has this Board of Supervisors power to reduce fares arbitrarily, or must it first make an investiga- tion into the actual value of the property of the railway company used in transporting pas- sengers and goods and establish a rate which shall afford a reasonable return upon such ac- tual value? Braunhart Opposes Resolution. Braunhart, who was in an objecting mood, opposed the adoption of the reso- lution on the ground that it was abso- lutely impossible to reduce fares without an investigation. Regarding the duty of the Market-street Company to keep its roadways In repair, Braunhart referred to its promise to take up abandoned tracks, which it had not kept. Brandenstein held that the fares could not be reduced arbitrarily and the question on that sub- ject was eliminated from the resolution. Reed explained that Vice President Hol- brook of the Market-street Company had denied the right of the board to compel it to pave its roaaway with the same ma- terial as the rest of the street. The reso- lution was then adopted so as to include questiors one and two within its pro- visions. Valley Road Gets Franchise. official bonds of officers and employes of the Board of Works was passed to print. The ordinance granting permission to the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway Company to maintain tracks on Georgia, Fourth and Michigan streets was passed to print. Reed, who voted in favor eration with the object of inserting a pro- vision that the company be required to pave the streets named from curb to curb in accordance with the charter, and the ordinance was again passed to print in that form. The ordinance providing for the payment of $2000 to 8. H. Kent, O. B. Martin, A. J. Raisch and H. C. Robinson for services as members of the Board of Appraisers for the extension of the park pandhandle was passed to print. Hotaling opposed the ordinance because he held that though th bonds were declared invalid the appra ers might be called upon to perform ad tional labor in connection with the pro. posed improvement. TRAINMEN IMPRISONED IN BURNING CABOOSE Thrilling Experience of Three South- ern Pacific Employes in Wreck Near Redding. REDDING, April 20.—A caboose at tached to a southbound freight train left of Redding, at 4 o'cloek this morning, and in_ rolling down the embankment caused a lamp to explode. This set fire to the car and for a few minutes the imprisoned in- mates were in danger of being burned to death. Conducter John Turner and Brakemen Richard Wells and Robert Cotter were in the derailed and burning car. Cotter, by strenuous work, managed to force his way out and with an ax quickly released the other men. All three were more or less bruised and cut, although not seriously, and Wells' hair was singed and his neck blistered by fire. The caboose was com- pletely destroyed.

Caldon seeks to re- cover forty acres of land on which the business and the greater part of the resi- dence portion of the town are situated. The suit promises to be sensational, as the business interests at Issue will put up a strong fight. Caldon alleges that his father, an old settler, did not intend to include this forty acres in selling part of his farm. The wording of the deed makes it uncertain whether the town site was conveyed.

SEGRET | ST. JAMES ASSK., PAINE’'S CELERY COMPOUND. ARY Paine’s celery compound has ac- quired its tremendous reputation for making people well by direct personal testimony from men and women who | have used it. No testimonial has ever | been pubiished for this great remedy that could not be easily verified at first | hand by any one at all interested. | Nothing has ever been claimed for| Paine's celery compound that it has| not accomplished in hundreds of cases. | For the guidance of thoughtful peo- ple who recognize the need of purify- | ing the blood and regulating the nerves in the spring, the following letter to the proprietors of Paine’s celery compound from Secretary of State Berz of Minneapolis will be of the utmost value in determining upon a trustworthy spring remedy: St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 4, 1901. Dear Sirs: One can show no greater faith than by taking a remedy for one's health. No better testimonial of excellence can be offered than the recommenda- tion of tlat remedy to one’s friends.. 1 have taken Paine’s celery compound myself, and 3s a result heartily com- mend it to others. ALBERT BERG. OF STATE. ore=- Minnesota Has No Firmer Believer in Paine’s Celery Compound, No remedy but Paine’s celery com- pound has ever been recommended by so conspicuously fair-minded a body of men and women. It occupies a clear field among men of sound judg- ment in the cure of diseases arising from a tired or otherwise impaired nervous system. There is no help so sure and so im- mediate as one gets from the use of Paine’s ceiery compound. Detailed in- formation of innumerable cases of rheu- matism, neuralgia and dyspepsia, com- pletely cured, has established this great invigorator as the most valuable remedy those run down in health can make use of. Paine’s celery compound frees the body of vicious humors that have ae- cumulated during the winter, and are the cause of kidney and liver complaints. Only a great remedy based on a pro- found knowledge of these diseases could do the work that Paine’s celery compound is now doing. Better rutrition for the nerves, an awakened appetite, purified blood, and complete assimilation of the food— these follow the faithful use of Paine’s | celery compound as surely as day fol- | lows night. ] Cured While You Sleep In Fifteen Days = Gran-Solvent” dissolves Stricture like snow be- peath the sun, reduces Lnlarged Prostate trengthens the Seminal Ducts, stopplag Dralos Emissions in Fifteen Days.
