Madame Zelie de Lussan, the famous operatic star, will appear at the Tivoll Opera-house in four performances of “CArmen” during the latter part of the present month. This will be a great treat to the local music lovers, and the Tivoli management .had great difficulty in se- curing the famous star for their show. ict that she is not a temper- | ARRIE NATION did not tarry long ere she began to start in { free advertising that is always o be picked up oa the streets of our great city. ‘ror» 10 o'clock last night the hatchet- | thrower began to operate .nd for a while |1t Tookea as though she would transform | the peaceful throng on Market strest into | 2 mob of howling maniacs. At 9:45 Mrs. N-otion betook herself to | the Oberon beer hall on O'Farrell street. She did not announce her @rrival and the merry guests of the resort w.ére rather taken aback when the freakish-looking be- ing sallied up the main aisle and the ladies’ orchestra and disturbed the warble of a fair maid who was gently chanting the chorus of “Hiawatha.” Carrie lost no time in telling those pres- ent of her mission. She removed her time-horored bonnet and planked herself in tue 1iiddle of the stage. ‘“‘Hear me, men and women,” quoth the oracle, “you are damning your souls and sending your families to the poorhouse by this vile practice, CARRIE GIVES ADVICE. “You are miking fortunes for the keeper of this brothel and the hundreds of others in your city. Now beware and take my advice; stop before it is too late, for if you di'not the devil will have you | and then what can you do? I have no | hatchet with me; my Bible is my weapon |and T am going to use it to advantage in | this town.’ Carrie said a whole lot more on these lines and also warned her listeners against'the evils of tobacco. Finally she requested that the walter bring her a beer, but the cup-bearer lacked the cour- age. She frankly admitted that she would not drink the beverage, but would put it | away so no one else could take a chance at it. From the Oberon Carrle proceeded to the Majestic saloon on Market street. The crowds on the street began to realize that Carrfe was In town and when she reached the latter place nearly 1000 people were hot on her trafl. The mob pushed and crushed its way into the saloon and Car- rie stood in thelr midst and made another speech, only she addressed the bartender this time. She even requested a drink, but the knight of the white coat refused to serve it. INVADES ZINKAND'S. The heroine finally emerged from the Majestic and betook herself up to the Cafe Zinkand. People began to follow in her wake and by the time that the Zin- kand was reached nearly 5000 of the curi- ous were close on the heels.of* the saloon- smasher. The mob tried to follow Car- rie inside, but the doors were locked by the waiters and only a chosen few man- aged to gain an entrance. ‘ Carrie’'s stay at the Zinkand was brief, vet she occupled her time well. She went right to the tables occupied by the men and women patrons and began to upbraid them for their devilish practices of im- bibing imported beer. When about to leave Carrie encountered Willlam Zin- kand, one of the proprietors of the place, Shorti be- | &e- | | liberately walked in upon the privacy of | LT TRUST 5 CHARGED ~ WITH FELONY Federal Grand Jury In- dicts the Combine in Findings. ——— Violation of Sherman Law Against Monopolies Is ‘Alleged.

About 100,000 tons of the commodity were supplied by the | resources of the State and a like amount imported by the company from Liverpool. | Ninety per cent of the entire salt trade was alleged to have been in | the defendants in the present Suit. Naming an arbi date”for the sake ot lt‘gal conformity, ibe Ludictment pro- ceed ““And on the 1st d: of July, 1902, the Federal Salt Company did unlawfuily, willfully and knowingly monopolize the | | trade and commerce in salt with intent to | hinder other persons and from the business of producing and ship- ping salt and to destroy fair, free and | unrestraine@ competition in said trade. “The firms and indiviuals herein men- tioned engaged in an unlawful conspiracy | with the Federal Salt Company for a | | valuable consideration not to engage In the production of salt for a term of five | years and to purchase all their supplies | at the list price of the F ¥y, with intent to form and conspiracy salt trade.” | J | INCRIMINATING CONTRACTS. i eral Salt Com- a combination, The indictment further charges thas the | | salt combine caused commodity to be sfored in warehouses for | the purpose of creating a scarcity and | thereby raised prices to suit themselves.

A second with Getz Bros. & Co. of tni: lates that for the consideration of $10,000 | the smaller firm will purchase solely from theq Federal Company at their list price for a period of two years. The indictments alleges agreements had been entered into with the following corporations: American Salt Company, Union Pacific Company, Conti- | nental Salt and Chemical Company, Car- ! contract Salt Company, Redwood City Salt Com- | pagly, Leslie Salt Refining Company, | China Mutual Steamship Company and |Inland Crystal Salt Company of Utah. | Besides these companies thirty-eight in- dividaals are cited as defendants equally culpable with the Federal Company. CONVICTION IS ASSURED. ‘When Attorney Woodworth instituted suit against the Federal Sait Company in the Circuit Court last October it was freely predicted that the trust could not be made amenable to the law, but after a brief trial the perpetual injunction against it was issued by Judge Morrow. This venture against the power of the | trusts and the decislon rendered served | as the ploneer suit for others started on 1 similar grounds in the East. A crucial point of evidence which did much toward winning the suit in the | former case and which will be a weighty | argument in the coming prosecution of the criminal suit exists in a certain fla- | grantly incriminating clause, a part of a | | contract entered into between August L. | Johnson and the Federal Salt Company. It reads as follows: “In consideration of this lease the party of the first part agrees not to engage or assist in any way in the production of salt or the sale thereof west of the Mie- sissippl River during the term of this lease, except as herein agreed.” Speaking of this clause District Attor- ney Woodworth sald yesterday: ‘“That clause alone, if there was no other evi- dence, would serve to convict. It is a direct and flagrant violation of the Sher- man law and as such makes its several contractors liable to criminal prosecu- tion.” L e e o ) and in a short speech began to tell him what a wrecker of homes he was, Zin- kand finally escaped and Carrie again landed in the street. She was confronted by a tremendous mob. It was nearly impossible to cross the street, but Carrie's manager and her press agent finally piloted her to the other side.

Pirr had been drinking Thursday morn- ing and met McFadden in a saloon. They followed Pirr around till about 4 o'clock | in the afternoon, when Pirr sald he wanted to go home. McFadden offered to | accompany him and when they reached an alley on Fremont street, near Folsom, McFadden knocked Pirr down and took $60 out of his pockets. Pirr's nose was badly skinned from the blows delivered by McFadden before he was knocked out. Friday morning and Regan and O'Connell were detailed on the case. They got a clew on McFadden and discovered that he had purchased a new suit of clothes | and a new overcoat Friday and had left the old clothes he was wearing Thursday were also identified by Pirr. McFadden was arrested last April for the murder of Charles Tucker, man from Martinez. He had been drink- ing with Tucker and got him into the doorway of a house on Howard street, where he knocked him down and rubbed him.
