Forty-Fifth District. The Republican Primary League Club of the Forty-fifth Assembly District held THIES HoLD 1P (4R DEALER Stop Samuel Van Praag in Front of His Bush Street Home. A SR Robbe;s Frightened Away and One Leaves His Hat Behind. LA D Samuel Van Praag, an aged cigar dealer, who conducts a store at Polk street and Fern avenue, was held up by two young men last evening about 10 o'clock in front of his residence, 1213 Bush street. The rob- bers became alarmed and fled before se- curing any money. It is supposed that the thugs who at- tempted to rob Van Praag had watched him for some time and were of the opin- ion that when he closed his store he car- ried home all his receipts with him. Last night the robbers waited till the old man started home and then hurried on to his house ahead of him. To render detection difficult they turned out the street gas lamp in front of the house and waited for him in his garden. As soon as Van Praag started to walk up the §arden path the robbers jumped out on him and drngied him to the ground. The victim cried Justily for help and_ this frightened the footpads. They took to their heels and ran. One of the robbers in his hurry to get away left a black derby hat in’the gardel}x. It had the initial M in the In- side lining. Soon. a(tger the attempted robbery Chief of Police Sullivan was on the scene. He was accompanied by _several detectives | and police officers. = Van Praag told the police that the robbers were both young men, tall and dark, but that he would not be able to identify them. EVENTS IN SOCIETY Miss Frances Baldwin and Sheffield San- born were married yesterday at 2 o’clock at the home of A. R. Baldwin, corner of Devisadero and Union streets. It was a most charming affair. Seventy- five invited guests witnessed the cere- mony, which was performed by the Rev. Dr. Hemphill. 2 The home was beautifully decorated for the occasion, pink and white blossoms being used exclusively. In the drawing- room, where the ceremony was per- formed, a canopy of pink and white sweet peas was erected, and here the young cou- | ple plighted their troth. The bride was attended by Miss Mar- guerite Sawyer, who officiated as maid of honor. Henry Francis Parmelee of New Haven, a college chum of the groom, offi- clated as best man. The bride wore an exquisite gown of cream white satin, elab- orately trimmed with point lace. Miss Sawyer was attired in a dainty frock of pink chiffon. Mr. and Mrs. Sanborn left yesterday for a honeymoon trip, keeping their destina- tion a secret. Their future home will be |in_this city. The Twentieth Century Cotillon Club of South San Francisco gave an enchilada party Tuesday evening, July 16, at Ma- sonic Hall. The evening was delightfully passed in singing and dancing.

A METHODIST BISHOP GIVES PE-RU-NA GREAT CREDIT. & Writes His Recommendation for the Famons Catarrh Rem- oy, Perina. The day was when men of prominence hesitated to give their testimonials to pro- prietary medicines for publication. This remains true to-day of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, {ts merits are known to so many people of high and low station that none hesitates to see his name in print recommending Peruna. The following letters from pastors who use Peruna speak for themselves: Rev. E. G. Snilth, pastor of the Presby- terian Church of Greensboro, Ga., writes: “My little boy had been suffering for some time with catarrh of the lower bow= els. Other remedies had failed, but after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble almost entirely disappeared. For this spe- clal malady I consider it well nigh a spe- cific.””—Rev. E. G. Smith. Bishop A. Grant of Indianapolts, Ind., writes the following letter: Indianapolis, Indiana, g 3349 N. Pennsyivania Street. Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, 0.: | Rev. A. S.

Prominent members of the clergy are giving Peruna their unqualified indorse- ment. These men find Peruna especially adapted o preserve them from catarrh of the vocal organs, which has always been the bane of public speakers, and general catarrhal debility incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman. Among the recent utterances of noted clergymen on the curative virtues of Peruna is the above one from Bishop Grant. HEAVIER RAILS ARE BEING LAID Southern Pacific Begins QGreat Work of Re- construction. T Under the direction of President Hays the great work of reconstructing the en- tire Southern Pacific system has begun.

Dunn, formerly gardener of the State Capitol grounds at Sacramento and whose where- abouts are at present unknown, is liable to prosecution, was affirmatively settled by Attorney General Ford yesterday. The fact was recently established that Dunn vras drawing considerable revenue from various persons who supplied the State with materials to be used in the depart- ment over which he had control and his dismissal by the State Board of Capitol Commissioners immediately followed. It did not appear that the gardener had received any tunds which belonged to the State and the commission could find no grounds for civil action. Dunn admitted that he had received a 25 per cent bonus on materials sold to the State by a contractor named Lewls, but he claimed that the money came as a gift and was not paid according to prearrange- ment. He became alarmed at last, how- ever, and left the State. ‘Attorney General Ford states that ac- ticn may be instituted under section 70 of the Penal Code, which says: “Every executive or ministerial officer who know- ingly asks or receives any emolument, gratulty or reward, or any promise there- | of, excepting such as may be authorized | by law, for doing any official act, is| guilty of a misdemeanor.” It seems fike- Ty, therefore, that in the event of Dunn's the pick of our beautiful Tapestries, y Brussels and Velvets all at the same modest prices in propor- tion as above, because wWe pay no rent— you save the difference.
