The bill has passed the Senate and has been favorably report- ed by the House committee, which practically assures its passage. This will permit the coinage of nickels and bronze coins at the San | Francisco Mint and thus prove a con- venience to the business public of this coast in securing these minor coins in such quantities and at such times as rv?{}’ lgf"(;‘rr:r;\- ‘agd may be desired.

During 1903 these amounts were increased to $110,400 in nickels and $15,765 in pen- nies, showing an increase in the cir- | culation of these coins of nearly 400 Y | per cent. In addition several thousand dollars’ worth of these coins are an- Jnually shipped to Manila. —_—— Special Officer Jailed.

The appointment was con- tested by the Regents of the University of California. Turner died, leaving an estate worth nearly $500,000. Petitions for letters of administration were filed by Edward W. Putnam, Public Administrator W. J. Stockton of Merced County and Eliz- abeth Turner and Thomas Turner, widow and son, respectively, of the de- ceased. The Judge of the Superior Court granted the letters to Mrs. Turner, The Regents appealed for the purpose of making sure that the appointment was legal. There was no animus in the matter. The State University is the beneficiary of Turner’'s will to the extent of $50,000. The property consists almost entirely of real estate in Merced County. ————— Harbor Board Has Jurisdiction, City Attorney Long yesterday advised the Board of Supervisors that the east- ern half of Illinois street, from Six- teenth to Enghteenth, occupied by the Union Oil Company, is under the ju- risdiction of the State Board of Har- bor Commissioners.

They may either be compelled to walk when they go on to install the county specimens or to pay the full rate of fare to St. Louis. That at least is the situation as it stands to-day. To- morrow evening Commissioner Filcher will depart for St. Louis, unless some- After he goes there will be no one remaining in California to certify to the trans- continental railway people in behalf of the county representatives who wish to go to St. Louis on official business in connection with exhibits. “It isn’t my fault,” said Commissioner Filcher yesterday afternoon. “I have written repeatedly to the county com- mittees having in charge the prepar- ing of county displays for St. Louis. Many of the committees have been dilatory. In a recent letter sent out from the office of the California com- mission notice was given that the 15th of March would be the final date for making application for transportation | at a reduced rate, for it was supposed | that the headquarters would be cloed by the 15th. ‘There is only now for any one cate before we will be necessary one more full day apply for a certifi- e up here. Then it for the counties that Louis and letters will take up ten days of time, and there is no time to lose now. “Perhaps the belated counties will take advantage of to-day to make their applications.” If they fail the situation is as described; their representatives will be either compelled to pay full fare, walk to St. Louis or waste much valuable time waiting for the mails, while the exposition is hastening to its opening day. s ST PSSl i FARMER AND CARPENTER GO INTO BANKRUPTCY U. 8.

Avery of the J apanese‘ Line Returns From Fast| and Sends Man to Orient COMP! &\l WILL RESUME Purser C. Lacey Goodrich Is | Dispatched on a Hurrled Mission Aeross the Pacific| | Gt N William H. Avery, general agent o!: the Toyo Kisen Kaisha S!enmshlp\ Company and who has been in the | East several months, rel.urned yester- day, but departed on the Oregon train | for Sacramento. Avery’s return.to San Francisco has been anxiously awanedl by many who are interested in the fu- ! ture of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha Slenm-f ship Company, whose vessels were re- cently appropriated by the Japanese Government for service in its trans-| port fleet. It was reported recently | from the East that the company was | negotiating with the White Star line | for the purchase of several vessels to | take the places of the America Maru, | Nipon Maru and the Hongkong Maru | on the runs between this port and the Orient. It was admitted by Avery that | the company expects to soon have an- | other fleet of steamships operating be- | tween here and the Orient, but he de- | nied that the vessels would come from | the White Star line, although intimat- ing that the company had obtained | options on a number of good boats on | the Atlantic and one or two in Oriental waters. Yesterday Avery telegraphed ahead | to this city to C. Lacy Goodrich, for-| mer purser of the steamship America Maru, who had been staying at the Palace Hotel, to immediately prepare for a trip to Japan, and, following these instructions, Goodrich went up the road yesterday to meet Avery and last | evening the purser started for Seattle, where he will catch the steamer sail- ing Monday. Avery accompanied Good- rich as far as Sacramento for the pur- pose of instructing him in the purposes of his mission. According to a report circulated last evening, Avery, who has | unlimited authority to act for his com- pany, has already secured one steam- ship in the Orient and has dispatched | Goodrich to the other side to arrange for bringing the vessel over to this { | port. The only statement that Avery would make in connection with this story was that his company is pre- | paring to resume business between San Francisco and the Orient and that it would probably have its first new steamship here within the next forty days. The company will continue to operate its vessels in conjunction with those of the 'Pacific Mail under an old agreement, which has been extended. LR L R T | Charges Faulty Grading. | Mary L. Gibbon sued the city yes- terday for $2000 damages for injuries she alleges her property on Pine street, near Taylor, sustained throngh a grading contract let by the munice- | ipality.

TOOK A STRAW VOTE. lnwnsdn‘ El]u:l'lmemln-]ksuu-I An advertising nxenL representing a prominent New York magazine, while on a recent Western trip, was dining one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant. | ‘While waiting for his order he| | glanced over his newspaperand no- ticed the advertisement of a “ell-‘[ | known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart’s | | Dyspepsia Tablets. As he himself was | a regular user of the tablets, he began | speculating as to how many of the‘ other traveling men in the dining- | room were also friends of the popular | | remedy for indigestion. He says: I counted twenty-three men at the tables, and in the hotel of- | fice I took the trouble to interview them and was surprised to learn that nine of the twenty-three made a prac- tice of taking one or two ‘of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. | One of them told me he had suf- | fered so much from stomach trouble | that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road, but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets had been entirely free from indigestion, but he continued their use, especlally while traveling, on account of irregular'ty of meals and because, like all travel- ing men, he was often obliged to eat | what he could get and not always| what he wanted. : | Another, who looked the picture of health, said he never ate a meal with- out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward | because he could eat what he pleased | and when he pleased without fear of a sleepless night or any other trouble. | Still another used them because he was subject to gas on stomach, caus- ing pressure on heart and lungs, shortness of breath and distress in | chest, which he no longer experienced since using the tablets regularly. | Another claimed that Stuart’'s Dn- pepsia Tablets was the only safe remedy he has ever found for sour | stomach and acidity. He had former- | ly used common soda to relieve the | trouble, but the tablets were much better and safer to use. ! After smoking, drinking or other excesses which weaken the digestive | organs, nothing restores the stomach | to a healthy, wholesome condition so | effectually is Stuart’s Tablets. ‘ Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets contain the natural digestives, pepsin, dias-| tase, which every weak stomach lacks, | parilla, and can be safely relied on as a radical cure for every form of poor digestion.
