It's natural. Tt makes you think more of us. Probably there is not a house- keeper who doesn’t know we have kitchen supplies downstairs. Probably there isn’t an American who doesn’t know we have an army and navy, but Uncle Sam has to parade them together in a body and waste a lot of powder to impress us of their strength. This waste of profits may seem uncalled for, but it comes back to us many fold. It gives one a splendid opportunity to supply their needs. Many Prices LowerThan They Usually Are And not an article is cheaper in quality. The goodness of the goods is the great redeerting feature of an effort like this. Why, how could we afford to sell Good Full-Sized Brooms at 15c If we knew the brooms weren't so good they’d make you think more of us and bring you back when you want other kitchen things?

Detective Charles Crockett captured n[ man much wanted for forgery last night, but nearly gave his life in exchange for his work. The man, whose name is given as Edward McMann, and who resides with his wife and child at 5% Mission street. after being arrested the officer’s head and pulled the trigger. Crockett’s quick action in catching the | hammer of th descend upon ter being locked up the prisoner feigned illpess, hoping, the police said, for an op- ortunity to pe while at the hospital, The opportunity, however, was not given tum ard cured weapon before it could etending. For some time past many complaints have reached headquarters of bogus checks signed Gray Bros., the con- tractors. Most of the paper was made payable either to Edward Shea or Robert Kelly and called for amounts ranging from $10 to $20. detectives McMahon and Whittaker worked on the case for two weeks, but were unable to capture the of- fender. Last night McMann entered Flanna- gan’s dry goods store at Sixth and How- ard and presented a check for $20 in pay- mment for a bill of §150. He was at once recognized @5 the man who had passed another bogus check for the same amount on the previous Saturday. Detective Crockett happened to be passing and was called by the proprietor. After hearin the circumstances the detective piaced the man under arrest and, securing him Ly & handcuff on one wrist, started on a car for the Hall of Justice, Crockett alighted with his prisoner at Kearoy and Clay streets and walked in the direction of the hall, one-half block distant.” McMann had shown no resist- ance whl.ls'er and spent his time deny- ing the chabges against him. When a few feet from the prison bullding he suddenly drew & revolver and leveled it at the Lead of his captor. “You — cur, let me gol” he shouted, then pulled the U‘tg?r Crockett by a quick motion seized the gun and got his thumb in front of the hammer as it was falling.

John Wichmann, a well-known Merchant- | street saloon-keeper, who was formerly a member of the police force, jumped to the | | detective’s assistance and after a severe struggle McMann was disarmed and taken up stairs. cMann said he intended to kill the of- ficer and then commit suicide. He stated that he passed the checks for a man named Edward Kelly, who lives at the but the police are sfied that Kelly had nothing to do | illicit transactions. McMann served as a soldier for two years at Ma- nila and since his return eight months 2go has been working as a driver for Gray Bros. Camping Months. There are no better months than July, | | August and September for camping. At the present time the numerous camping | parties located on the line of the Califor- | nia Northwestern Raflway are having a most delightful time. There are so many streams along this road, that no matter where campers locate, whether up in the mountains, in the foothills or in the val- leys, thelr tents are pitched under shade trees near to running water. So many people love the outdoor life of the camper, | but_will not go on account of the bother of making ready and the labor when in | camp. It is so difficult to get help, and to have to cook and clean up takes not only | the best part of one’'s time but the life | and spirit out of a person. For this rea- #on a camp has been opened on the Rus- sian River, near Guerneville, where every- thing is supplied. You do ‘exactly as is ldrvno at a hotel In the city. Instead of a room, you are assigned to a tent. This is comfortably furnished and as carefully looked after as any room in the best | hotels in 8an Francisco. 1 Shade trees are all around and spread | their branches over the dining-room, the sides of which are wire screens instead of boards. Seated at a table here, with an excellent meal before you and weil served, | a forest of trees in front of you which- €ver way your eyes turn, a softened sun- light from a double canvas roof, you have all the delight of eating in the open air with no flles to bother. Thus you lead the easy life of the camp away from the restraints of dress and fashion, but with all the comforts of home life. The | grounds front a mile and a half on the river. Excellent boating, fishing and bathing. A shelving, sandy beach affords safe bathing for women and children. The trains of the California Northwestern Raflway run direct to the camp. Fare from San Francisco for the round trip, $250. Take boat at Tiburon ferry. Ad- dress Camp Vacation, Guerneville, So- noma County, Cal. —_————— Hansted-O'Donnell Cases Continued. The case of Fred Hansted and W. J. O'Donnell, charged with assaulting Thomas Garrett, were called in - Judge DISPUTED GHECK 15 PAID BY BANK Otto von Meder's Debt to Schonewald Is Liquidated. Otto F., von Meder, the young German who posed in San Francisco and Monterey soclety circles as a baron and was the whole show for a month until Landlord Schonewald of the Hotel del Monte had him arrested for obtaining $700 under false pretenses, was discharged from custody by Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday be- cause there was no charge against him. Thé “baron,” groomed to a fault and fresh from his incarceration, continued to sit in the police court after his case had been disposed of and took a lively inter- est in the disposition of the cases of the other malefactors. His jail experience had evidently given him new views of life. The case against Von Meder failed be- cause some good friend of his paid to Wells, Fargo & Co.’s bank yesterday morning $700 to cover the check he gave to Schonewald. When Schonewald first got the check he telephoned to the bank and was told that the ‘“baron” nad no funds there. On Friday the same state of affairs prevailed, according to the police, but yesterday some good angel paid in the money and Von Meder was squared with the law. Just who it was that furnished the coin could not he learned. The “baron” was asked,-but he remained firm in concealing the name of the benefactor, while entirely willing to talk of any other subject. It was rumored that a woman furnished the money, but this could not be verified. Before Judge Cabaniss convened court, Horace G. Platt, special counsel for the prosecution, requested to have the check which was offered in evidence. He was given it readily and it was taken to the bank, where the money was obtained on ft. ‘hen when the ‘‘baron’s” case came up, Landlord Schonewald testified that at the first actual presentation of the check the money had been paid him.

The Supervisors were appealed to yes- terday to do whatever may lie in their Dpewer to prevent fatal elevator accidents. This action was taken by a Coroner’s jury in the inquest on the body of Charles Powers of 620 Falsom street, who was killed last Tuesday by the fall of a freight elevator at 25 Bluxome street. The jury found that the death was ac- cidental, and added to their verdict the fellowing; And we recommend that the Board of Super- visors pass an ordinance requiring a regular system of inspection of all elevators in this city. either by responsible private firms qr b: expert persons in the employ of the Board of Public Works, to the end that further accl- dents of a like nature shall be minimized. In the case of Matilda Carlison, aged 21 years, residence 13714 Perry street, who died last Sunday of blood polsoning, the following verdict was rendered: We, the jury, find that Matilda Carlson came to her death from the result of a criminal op- eration at the hands of Mrs, Mary Balkwell; and we, the jury, charge the sald Mary Balk- well with the crime of manslaughter. Verdicts of “suiclde while insane” wers returned in the cases of Evan J. Cole- man of 1490 Sacramento strest and Mary Adams of 105 Clark street.

Secretary Holbrook and Officers Hooper and Smith of the Humane Soclety visited Richmond yesterday to see what could be done to stop the proposed bullfight. Several of the citizens agreed to band themselves into a humane society, be in- corporated and prevent the proposed ex- hibition. The .rmmowu of the fight say that they shall go ahead regardless of ‘what measures their opponents may -floam as it was never at any time in- tended to break the laws of the State. PALO ALTO HAS MANY BACKERS Figures to Meet Little Sister in Stake Final. Alameda Kennels’' fast young greyhound Haryey M. romped through the Reserve Stake, which was one of the features of the programme at Union Park yesterday. He won the deciding course in easy style from Twirler, the Star Kennels’ entry. The outlook for Piker reaching the final looked bright, but he was unexpectedly outpointed in the third round by the run- ner up. In the previous round Piker had a hard working course with Lord French, in which he was unaided by his opponent. Piker rolled up 16 points without ailowing the Lord to score. Despite his severe go- ing Piker was made favorite in the semi- final, the talent giving 5 to 3 that he would get the flag from Twirler. When the course ended the decision favored the short-ender. : The Class Reserve Stake of thirty-two entries was run down once and the round resulted in good coursing. Charming Thought is favorite for the event. Her defeat of Minnie Sankey, which sold a slight favorite, resulted in the cutting of {1&:; gr:cezl“ the long-odds book from 5 to 23 . Fenli looks the most dangerous competi- tor against the favorite and is quoted at 3 to 1. Spencer of the St. Louis string, at 4 to 1, has a good chance for honors. Great interest is manifested in the out- come of the Special Stake. The event is made up of well-known hounds. Palo Alto, Little Sister and Tralee Boy are quoted at 4 to 1, Vandal at 5 and Belle Free and Aeolus at 6. Little Sister beat Palo Alto pointless in last week's final. These dogs are drawn in such position that they cannot meet in to-day's stake until the final. Odds favor such a meet- ing and in the event of their coming to- gether both will be plentifully backed. The followers of Geary’s champion have faith In his Ibflltg' to reverse matters this time and beat his clever opponent as handily as she defeated him. Following are the day’'s results, with Judge P. J. Reilly's official scores: Reserve stake, first round—T, Maher's Piker beat George Starr's Step On, 6-2; T. Logan’ Lord French beat J.
