'Cash treatment without : cash Furniture, carpets, curtains P This is the proposition: You want to fur- nish a2 home. You haven’t enough ready cash to pay in full when the goods are delivered, aence you're compelled to buy “on time.” Yet you dislike trading in an out-and-out install- ment store. How are you going to get the easy - payment accommodation and still buy your goods in one of the big first-class stores? We offer you the way. We loan you the money, charging simply the regular banking rate of interest—six per cent. You go then to one of the big, first- class furniture stores where the stock is big and fresh, and where satisfaction is certain; and when you have made your selections pay your bill in good, hard cash. The installment stores charge you ten per cent above their cash prices for time. All you pay us is six per cent. The actual saving to you is FOUR PER CENT. For instance: If your purchases amount to $100.00 we will charge you $106.00—which is a six per cent advance; then you pay us $20.00 cash and the balance in monthly payments amounting to $8.60 each month. If your pur- chases amount to $75.00 we will charge you $70.50; you make us a cash payment on this of $15.00 and pay the balance at the easy rate of $6.45 per month. Investigate this—it will pay you. | —_— - (Gould, Sullivan Co.

Julius Muller Claims to Have Lost His Money. | H. Julius Muller, who resides at 27111 | | Sutter street, secured a warrant from Po- | lice Judge Mogan 8 for the ar- | rest of 8. M. Snyder, secretary of the | Continental Brewing Company, and | George Lee on a charge of obtaining | money by false pretenses. The Brewing Company has offices in the | Emma ki building and some | months ago Snyder and Lee sent for E. F. Buckow and showed him a prospectus of | brewery buildings and said they had or- ganized a company and would build a brewery costing $100,000. The directors, they sald, had bought $300,000 worth of the stock and the money was deposited in the Crocker-Woolworth Bank, where it would remain till enough money had accumu- | lated to erect the bulldings and plant. They made a proposition to Buckow for him to sell bonds and he would be allowed 20 per cent commission and when the brewery was ready to start business he would be appointed manager. Buckow sold some of the bonds and was then noti- fied that enough bonds had been sold to Eastern bankers to cover the balance re- quired. Buckow was also Informed that it was intended to start a branch brewery in Reno, Nev. | Muller was a friend of Buckow, and, as Mufler was well acquainted in Reno, Buckow suggested to him that if he called | upon Snyder and Lee he might get a job. Buckow took Muller to Snyder and Lee and Muller asked if he could purchase |$1000 worth of the bonds. He was told they were all sold toan Eastern syndicate. {but if he called the next day he would | know if he could get the $1000 worth from | the syndicate. Muller called next day |and paid $1000, receiving a receipt from | Lee and later one from Synder. That was on August 1.

Clothilde Stobr, special administratrix of the estate of her mother, the late Clothilde Richardson, filed a suit in con- versfon against her brother, Frank Stohr, yesterday. She alleges that he has in his possession personal property valued at {82200, which belongs to her mother's estate, and that he refuses to give it up, THAD STREET T0 BE RERNED Contract for Big Improvement. ot T Plans to Erect Municipal Corporation Yard on City Lands. The Board of Public Works yesterday awarded to the Barber Asphalt Paving Company for $75,119 89 the contract for the repaving and widening of Third street from Mission to Berry. The highest bid was $89,799 43. The board adopted the following reso- lution in memory of the late Commission- er Louis J. Ohnimus: Whereas, Our associate and friend, Commis- sioner Louis J. Ohnimus, has been taken from us in the prime of his manhood and usefulness; therefare, be it Resolved, That in the death of Commis- sioner Ohnimus the city has lost a conscien- tious and faithful officer and the members of the Board of Public Works an earnest and congenial associate, to whom the voice of duty was imperative, and to Whom no personal sac- rifice was 100 great %0 that duty was weil per- formed. That we join his bereaved mcther, wife and children in thelr grief and extend to them our deepest_sympathles, and pray that the God of the widow and the fatherless may stay and comfort them. The request of the pavers employed by the board that their wages be increased to $5 per day was taken under advisement. The board has begun proceedings to take possession of lands bounded by Elev- enth and Fourteenth streets, running through the Mission Creek, to which the jcity’s title has been affirmed by the Su- preme Court. The lands were about to be tenced in by the city, but Eugene and George Leroy have decided to begin in- junction proceedings to restrain the board from taking action. If the city gains pos- session it is intended to build a municipal corperation yard on the site. SEEK TO HAVE MISSION STREET ROADWAY WIDER Supervisors Will Asked to Nar- row Sidewalks‘o Provide More Room. The Board of Supervisors will be asked to widen Mission street, from East to Ninth streets, by cutting off four feet from each sidewalk, thus widening the roadway eight feet. Thomas Magee & Sons are advocating the move. They are inviting all owners of property on Mis- sion street between the streets named to A copy of the petition to be sub- mitted to the Supervisors is as follows The undersigned, property owners on Mis- sion street from East to Ninth, earnestly beg that you widen the rcadway on Mission street sidewalk, is the longest street in this and is rapidly becoming so congested ms and cars that teams and the people of this city, who are traveling on the Mission street lines, are being very much delayed. At no time could this work be done better than There are very few basements in this therefore the work to-day would ficult to accomplish than it would an Mateo line now comes down Mis- t with its large suburban cars; the Twenty-second street line turns into Mission street with its large red cars, and the main line of green cars also travels up and down this street. These cars are 9 feet 10 inches wide from step to stev, so that they, with the strip between the tracks, take up a total space of feet 10 inches out of a roadway that is now 441 feet wide. One team cannot pass another now if a car is in the way, and by this proposed widening one team can stand against the curb unloading and allow another team to pass while the car is running. The sidewalk on Mission street at present fs 19 feet wide. A 15-foot sidewalk is quite sufficient for any street in any city. The difficulty is where surface roads operate on double tracks and In a wholesale section where there is necessarily a large amount of team- ing, the roadway is seldom wide enough. Market street is the main artery of San Francisco. Sixty-four streets begin or end in that thoroughfare, Mission street being the first street parallel with Market and the wholesale street of this city shares its traffic monopoly. Mission street is the main arter: down the peninsula to San Jose. this city grows Mlssion street will be, next to Market, the most crowded street for teaming. Now is the time to provide for that congestion that will come as certainly as the city grows, Civil Service Examinations. The United States Civil Service Com- mission announces that the examination for clerk-examiner will be given on April 28 and succeeding dates instead of April 21,vas heretofore announced. This is a special examination for the purpose of establishing a suitable register of eligi- bles for clerks and examiners. It is ex- pected that a number of additional posi- tions of this kind, provided by Congress for the United States Civil Service Com- miesion, will be filled from this register on July 1, and the register will also be avaiiable for vacancies in the Department of Commerce and Labor and other depart- ments and offices. — ADVERTISEMENTS.

W. Thompson, Member of Congress, Fifth Alibama District, writes from Washington, D. C.: ““My cashier has uszd your Pe- runa for indigestion with the most unexampled and bsneficial rasults, and I cannot too highly or earnestiy recommend ils general use.” Chas. W. Thompsona b Indigestion is most always followed by catarrh of the stomach. There is no use of taking remedies to palliate indigestion. There is no use calling it dyspepsia, and then taking pepsin and other remedies to produce artificial digestion. The only rational procedure is to cure the catarrh of the stomach. The catarrh once cured indigestion gisappears, and there is no more dyspepsia. Taking ar- tificial digestants is simply temporizing with the difficulty. In this way valuable time is lost while the catarrh is fastening | itself stronger and stronger upon the mu~ | cous membrane of the stomach. A very shoft course of treatment with Peruna is sufficient to cure these cases. Peruna is recommended by the highest authorities and the most conspicuous | people in the land. Congressman Botkin Cured of Catarrh by Pe-ru-na After Twenty-Five Years’ Suffering. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Con- gressman Botkin of Kansas, whose fame is a national one, says of Peruna: My Dear Doctor—"It gives me ple to certify to the excellent curative qualities of your Peru- ra and Manalin. at- or sure flicted more cf a century with catarrh of the stomach and con- | stipation.

SAN RAFAEL, April 8.—Alfred Gilker- con, a guard at San Quentin prison, while walking up Mount Tamalpals to-day, was overcome by the heat and died soon af- terward. Gilkerson and two companions, J. Canape and H. Stoke, also attaches at | the prison, started out early this morning | to ascend the mountain. They took the shortest but steepest trail. The day was intensely warm and Gilkerson found it difficult to proceed. Finally after reach- ing the half-way station he collapsed and never regained consciousness. The Coroner was notified and the body was brought to this city, where an in- quest will be held. Gilkerson has been a guard in one of the watch towers at San Quentin for nine years and got very little exercise. To this fact and the violent exercise to-day it attribyted his collapse from the heat. The deceased was 42 years of age, unmarried and was a resi- dent of San Jose. Governor Will Visit San Diego.

At grocers avaryrehasa - No Sound —~ No Jar MONEY DISPUTE ENDS I MUADER Before the gaze of half a hundred | Chinamen, in midday and in one of the most frequented sections of the Chinese quarter, Yee Ah Ting was shot and killed | yesterday by two assassins, who, after | the foul deed, succeeded in making their | escape. The shooting occurred close to | the Washington-street entrance to Ross alley. Ting was just emerging upon | Washington street when three shots rang | out. Two of them took effect in Ting’s | | body, one entering the base of the skull | and the other plercing the back. The | murdered man staggered to the edge of | | the pavement and fell on his face, dead. | The murderers ran a few paces back into | the alley, one of them dashing up a | stairway at 2 Ross alley, which leads to | the roof: The other continued down the alldy farther and made his escape through | one of the gambling dens that line the place. The murder of Yee Ah Ting has in it- self something of the grimness of retribu- tive justice, for he himself was a mur-! derer. On the night of October 5, 1901, | he was one of two,men who shot down | | Yee Kitt, a brother of Jim Lee, president | |of the Hop Sing Tong. For this crime How Ling, president of the Suy Dong Soclety of the See Yup Tong, was arrested | {and acquitted. The actual slayer was | well known to the Chinese, but fear sealed | their lips until Yes Ah Ting was cold In | death and then the disclosure was made to the police. The murder committed by } Ting was at the corner of Spofford alley and Washington street, scarecly more than twenty paces from where he him- self pitched forward a corpse. The men who are accused by the polics of committing this latest murders are Yee Fu and Yee Fook Tin, both members of the Yee family and of'the See Yup So- clety. Ting was also a See Yup man, be- longing to the Ah Clan. Fu is a Quong Duck Tong man and his fellow suspect belongs to the Ping Gong Tong. The dead man was a member of the Suy Dong | Tong. " As far as can be learned by the police, which is as far as the Chinese wish to inform them, the killing was not the re- sult @f a tong quarrel, but was a per- sonal matter between Yee Fu and Yee Ah Ting over a pecuniary matter. This has been the subject of hard feeling between the two men for some weeks and when it threatened to end in bloodshed it was | taken up by the president of the See Yup Soclety for settlement. He decided in favor of the dead man, but Yee Fu refused to abide by the result of the arbi- tration and declared he would kill Ting the first time he met him, regardless of the place or presence of others. He evl dently secured the services of Yee Fook Tin to assist him in his purpose, and, ac- | cording to the eye-witnesses of the trag- edy, both men took part in the shooting. Policeman Mahoney of the Chinatown squad caught Sing Suy, a Chinese gam- bler, running down Ross alley immediate- | ly after the shooting and locked him up as a possible accessory. Detectives Ed Gibson and Harry Braig were working all afternoon and last night trying to locate the hiding places of the slayers, but at last reports had not suc- ceeded in their quest. They are certain that they will eventually land the mur- derers in custody. Last night the Six Companies held a meeting and decided to offer a reward of $300 for the apprehension of either of the murderers. ADVERTISEMENTS. Take Pity on Your Face.
