Mrs. Pitman arrived in this city last month and took a room at the Lake House, 268 Turk street. Shortly after her arrival she engaged the ser- vices of Attorney Edward T. Maples and requested him to prosecute Ben- nett. According to the story she told Maples, Mrs. Pitman first met Ben- nett when sheé was running a lodging- house in Portland. He induced her to sell the house. she claimgd, and they traveled to Los Angeles together, Bennett, it is said, secured $200 of the $500 she had real- ized on the sale of her lodging-house and promised to meet her in this city and make her his wife. He never kept his promise, and the woman, becom- ing despondent, finally ended her life. Prior to taking her plunge into eter- nity she used every effort to induce In one of that she had recently come into a large fortune, but this, her attorney says, was merely an artifice to induce Ben- nett to return to this city that she might prosecute him on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses or else induce him to marry her. According to Mrs. Pitman’s story, soon after her return from Los An- geles she learned of Bennett's dupli- young woman of. Stockton, who, it is claimed, came to this city within the last few days seeking much needed sympathy from the missing man. As truth dawned on Mrs. Pitman she grew despondent and several threats to make away with her- self culminated Meonday afternoon, when the man whom she so deeply loved sent her the photograph of him- self and another woman. Mrs. Pitman was the widow of a well known Portland dentist, who left her comfortably sithated. She has many friends in that city and not a few of them warned her against Ben- nett. Bennett's recent employment in this city was with the telephone com- pany and prior to that, for a time, he was engaged as a solicitor for the Attorneys’ Auxiliary in the Parrott He is known to have also served as a private detective and on BENNETT'S LAST Bennett's last letter to Mrs. gltmm. himself and a woman, was written on the office paper of a Chicago wine haquse and reads as follows: My Dear Francine—From the letter 1 re- ceived from you to-day I take It for granted that you wish that we should part forever. Although it will pain me awfully, I will do as you say. * * * Any money | have used of yours I will return as scom as I my ‘feet and able to send it. I am pleased to note your good fortune in coming into that @mourt of money. Send me my mail, but as it is your wieh, this will be your last letter from me. Yours, HARRY. Clasped to the dead woman'’s breast with the foregoing letter and the photograph was a scrap of paper con- taining the following: May the power controlling thi control Harry Bennett and !no‘m hl.n to come and do what Is right, Make me his wifp and be-imnnul wmulmlnl’ a o suffer.

Bennett’'s mother called at the Cor- oner’s office vesterday and said that there must be some mistake, as her | “little oy could never be mixed up in | an r with a woman that had been married. The dead woman was a widow and | apparently about 34 years of age. The age of the *little boy” is variously stated as from 20 to 22. He was for- merly in the employ of the telephone company. That Mrs, Pitman was not in finan- cial straits at-the time of her death is shown by the fact that among her | effects was found a check for $200 on | the First National Bank of The Dalles, Or. Her attorney stated that a firm doing a general merchandise business at Dufur, near The Dalles, owed her money and the check was probably from that firm. Late yesterday afternoon an order | was received from Johnston Bros. of Dufur instructing the Coroner to ship the: body to that place. The autopsy showed that death was caused by | asphyxiation. —————— ! Irrigation Engineer Examination.

The objective point of Woodward's inspection was Felton street, where he | found a fence extending along the cen- ter of the street between Yale and Cambridge, thus obstructing the entire northerly half of the street. On Felton street, between Cambridge and Oxford, the southerly half of the street was fenced In. Within the inclosures the tenants, who are mostly vegetable and flower growers, have planted seeds, so that the gardens are flourishing on land be- longing to the city which has been dedicated to use as open public streets. Other stteets, including Silliman street, are being similarly utilized, though the necessity for their opening is not as | imperative as Felton street, over which | there is a considerable traffic. The board intends, however, to continue the work of removing all fences that ob- struct the streets in that vicinity. To-day the board will consider a com- plaint filed by the Pavers' Union against the bad condition of the pave- ments on various streets contiguous to the tracks of the street car lines. The complainants allege that in most cases the pavement has been torn up and not relaid and is a menace to life | and limb. | Specific attention is directed to the crossings at Fillmore and Ellis streets, O'Farrell and Fillmore, Sacramento and East, Second and Brannan, Ninth and Mission, on Mission from Sixteenth to Twenty-eighth, on Valencia from and on Tenth from Howard to Market. The Board of Works vesterday ap- pointed Frank M. Spiller, Thomas Cul- | len and Thomas Linton to be painters. The men were taken from the civil ser- vice eligible list.

THEY ACTUALLY DO THE WORK Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di- | gested—Some Stomachs Must Have Help. Food taken into the Stomach which, from the nature of the tood or the con- dition of the stomach, is not digested, is worse than no food at all. This is a true statement as far as it goes and a great many dyspeptics go only this far | They argue with | with their reasoning. themselves that because their stomachs do not- do the work given them, they must be given less work; in other words they must be starved. It would be just | ae sensible for a business man who is unable to do all his own work to cut down his business to his own capacity as it is for a man to starve himself to| relieve his stomach. The sensible busi- ness man employs help and goes for- ward with his business. sensible dyspeptic will employ help for | his stomach and give his body proper nourishment. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They re- lieve weak and overburdened stomachs of a great portion of digestive action. Their component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretions of the stomach and they sim- ply take up the grind and carry on the work just the same as.a good, strong, healthy stomach would do it. On this account Stuart’s Dyspepsia | Tablets are perfectly natural in their action and effects. They do not cause any unnatural or violent disturbance ! in the stomach or bowels. They them- selves digest the food and supply the system with all the nourtshment con- tained in what is eaten and carry out, nature’'s plans for the sustenance and maintenance of the body. How much more sensible is this method than that employed by many | sufferers from weak stomach. By this means the body and brain get all the; good, nutritious food they need and ihe man is properly nourished and equippenl to carry on his work and perform his | duties. He could not possibly be in proper working condition by starving himself or employing some new fang- led, insufficient food that does not con- | tain enough nutriment for a year-old baby. A strong man doing strong work must be properly fed and this applies to the brain as well as the body. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, by re- lieving the stomach of its work, enable it to recuperate and regain its normal health and strength. Nature repairs the worn and wasted tissues just as she heals and knits the bone of a broken limb, which is of course not used dur- ing the process of repair. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box and they are the one article that the druggist does not try to sell something in the place of that's “just as good.” Their unqualified merit and success and ! the upiversal demand for them has placed them within the reach of every one.

LEARNS STATUS OF A TEACHER President Roncovieri of Board of Education Says Mrs. Reeves | | Recovered Salary Illegally! vy | with Each President Roncovieri is of the opinion because ex-City Attorney Lane did not | fully acquaint himself with the status | of Mrs. Irene, D. Reeves, a teacher, v h?; was consolidated out of the public| | school department and then ordered re- | | instated by the Supreme Court, that) | the teacher named recovered some &\l)(\l) in back salary to which she was nnl‘ 'legnl]y entitled. Mrs. Reeves has since | | been consolidated out of her posl(mn‘ again and has once more brought suit| for reinstatement. Roncovieri yesterday ascertained upon | investigation that Mrs. Reeves ¥ag by | resolution of the Board of Hducation, | adopted on January 27, 1897, “appointed | as a High School substitute, to be pald‘ only for actual services rendered.” | Under the terms of the resolution ! Roncovieri holds that Mrs. Reeves| | could not receive salary when she was not actually engaged in teaching. Rurh} | covieri declares that it must have been | i assumed by the court that Mrs. Reeves | | was a regular teacher in the depan.‘ ment, whereas she was only 2 substi- | tute, to be assigned to duty as occasion | demanded. | Roncovieri learns that Mrs. Reeves was assigned to classes in the Glrls’l High School and other schools, was consolidated out on April 26, 1899, and | on October 29, 1902, was reinstated in | her position in accordance with thei Supreme Court decision in her case. She was again consolidated out last| month and ordered reinstated by ' the | Superior Court pending the determina- | tion of her suit against the board. Roncovieri says there is nothing for | Mrs. Reeves to do, and under the reso- | lution originally appointing her she can | be placed on the substitute list and | 1 can only be paid for actual services she | may render. Roncovieri says it is the intention of the board to assign Mrs. | Reeves to a class as soon as there is a | vacancy, but it will oppose paying her | salary whén she is not occupied. It is said that there are a number of other teachers having the same status as Mrs. Reeves, which will render some | of them insecure in their pesitions.
