KEEPS ACCOUNT OF SHALL LOMS Embroiderer Schreiber Files” Suit Against Jose R. Pico. Says Descendant of Famous Family Borrcwed Money Frequently. Jose Ramon Pico, descendant of Pio Pico, at onc time Governor of Californi; is the $650.50 filed yesterday by A. Schreiber, who claims that Pico has borrowed money from him and has also securcd goods for which he has never paid. The suit has a sad side, in that it shows to what extremities the descendant of the faumous Pico family has begen reduced. From January 5, 1890, alleges Schreiber, who deals in military decorations, to January 2 of this year Pico has borrowed from him $243 90 in sums ranging from 5 cents to $350. All these are set forth in the complaint. The interest on the loans, for which the cmbrqiderel‘ also asks judgment, is $103 10. The goods purchased from Schreiber by Pico, and for which the plaintiff claims he has nog been paid, are principally dec- ions of a military nature—epaulettes, swords, badges and gold braid, such as are calculated to lend luster to the wear- er on festlve occasions. The loans and the goods, alleges Schreiber, were given to Pico on the strength of a claim against the State, which for several years the Castilian endeavored to have approved by California Legislatures. A bill ap- propriating $8111 15, the amount of Plco's ciaim, was passed by the last Legisla- ture, hence Schreiber’s suit. DIFFICULTIES BESET GAME LAW VIOLATORS A.

Kercheval told him that he had been under serveillance for about two months and that evidence of nimerous violations of the law could be obtained.

He denies that the association he represents desires to postpone the citrus fair representative of the counties north of Tehachapi. Mr. Wright said yesterday that one of those present at the meeting of the Sacramento Valley organization last week spoke in favor of postponing for a few days, but he was the only one who opposed opening the fair on Novem- ber 24, which falls four weeks from Mon- day next. This was made clear yester- day to the State Beard of Trade. “The fair will go on just as originally planned,” said Manager Filcher of the State Board of Trade yesterday afternoon, “‘and everything looks well.” ~Continuing Manager Filcher said: Of course we labor under the difficuity of or- ganizing the fair while a political campaign is in progress and prominent growers of citrus fruits are engaged in politics, but the signs are all promiSing nevertheless. Secretary Wright of the Sucramento Valley Development Association says that the Sacramento Valley counties are taking great interest In the com- ing event. 'The association will work in the Sacramento Valley for success. Professor Barr_of Stockton is Interesting the people of the San Joaquin Valley counties.

Oranges are taking color all through the northern counties now and there will be an abundance of ripe fruit at the time set for opening the Thanksgiving citrus fair. The State Floral Society met yesterday and appointed a committee to send out a circular letter inviting general co-operation in supply- ing floyers for the citrus fair. Evergreens and pampus plumes will be used largely for decorative purposes. Flowering plants and cut flowers will be accented at the proper time. Rescue Young Girl.

The body found floating in the bay off Sausalito on Octo- | ber 16, and which was supposed to be that of Jacob Loefier of 132 Fourth street, San Francisco, is now believed to be that of J. S. Maitland of San Francisco. Mrs. S. McNeil of 313 Jones street came to San Rafael to-day and asked to see the body in the Morgue.

Maitland, a mining man who had bearded at her house for several month: Maitland was last seen on October 6. Mrs. McNeil sald that the missing man had been ailing for some time and was under the care of Dr. Long of San Fran- cisco. A key found in the pocket of the dead man’s clothing, she said, was a latch key to her front door. The underclothing was similar to a suit left in Maitland’s apartments. The watch and chain, how- ever, she did not recognize. Ccrcner Eden said to-night that, from facts brought out in the investigation, he had believed that it was Loefler's body, but from developments to-day it might be Maitland" The body was buried in the potter’s field this afternoon and further testimony will be taken on Friday.

NOTHING LIKE PAINE’S CELERY COMPOUND For Cleansing and Purifying the Bload. It Removes the Germs of Disease, Invigorates and Rejuvenates. Thousands of men and women who have neglected the work of physical re- cuperation in the summer months are row carrying a burden of disease. In the majority of cases impure and poisoned bleod and a sluggish circulation are the direct causes of suffering and misery. Are you, dear reader, one of the unhappy vietims? If so, the life stream must be made pure, the health-wrecking laxity of the blood vessels must be corrected, the nerves and tissues must be nourished. { Paine’s Celery Compound is the medicine that physicians recommend for the in- crease of pure blood in the arteries, and for arousing the purifying organs to cast off the impurities that give rise to dis- ease. Mr. Jumes F. Hudson, Spring Ridge, La., was a terrible sufferer from | impure blood; he tells how he banished { his troubles: “From some cause my blood became im- pure and resulted in boils and pimples. 4t one time I suffered from 27 boils. No one can imagine what I suffered. I tried stlphur, sarsaparillas and other remedies, | but no rellef came. Mr. Sebastian, a mer- | chant whom I used to clerk for, handed me one of your circulars and insisted that 1 should use Paine’s Celery Compound. After using two or three bottles the boils were not so numerous nor as large. Af- ter using the fifth bottle I was entirely cured, and have been myself ever since.” | All the fashionable shades and | colors can be made from DIA- MOND DYES.
