Pears’ People have noidea how crude and cruel soap can be. It takes off dirt. So far, so good; but what else does it do. It cuts the skin and frets the under-skin; makes red- ness and roughness and leads to worse. Not soap, but the alkali in it. Pears’ Soap has no free, al- kali in it. It neither reddens nor roughens the skin. It re- sponds to water instantly; wash- esand rinses off in a twinkling; is as gentle as strong; and the after-effect is every way good. “Sstablished over 102 years 280 !TRIFLES WITH THE LAW | AND GETS INTO PRISON 'To Obtain Revenge on Woman With Whom He| Had Quarreled Leslie Falkenberg Perjures Him- self,'the Prosecution Alleges, and IsNow Defendant Leslie Falkenberg is in a fair way of | having it proved to his entire satisfac- | tion that the law’s machinery is dan- | ®erous to trifle with. He appeared be- #!ore Judge Mogan yesterday morning las a complaining witn and soon | found himself a prisoner for contempt iof court, with charges of perjury and | | i y | | maliciously procuring a warrant being prepared against him. And in addition to all that unenviable fortune he re-| |ceived a scathing lecture from the bench and scorching looks from every | respectable person in the tribunal. For! the fellow had been forced to confess himself thoroughly despicable. To ob- tain revenge after a quarrel with the mother of his two illegitimate children he had the woman arrested on a charge of cruelty to the youngest of them, and to bolster his accusation he delib- | erately lled while under oath. Mamie Garrity, a petite and frail creature, who resides at 577 Natoma | street, was the victim of Falkenberg's prevarication. To secure her arrest he represented that was the mist of his brother George, a seaman, and that although she s left sufficient money to support herself and her 10- 1@ child she cruelly neglected atter, and on last Sunday after- eft the babe on the doorstep the Falkenberg home, 545 Jessie stre In court yesterday the woman swore there was no such person as brother rat the complainant was the support Judge Mogan acknowledge questioning & ntempt ng attorney charges of v malicious that she had upon the Falk- corstep, and explained that the had sent a request that shé let e th tie one.

Judge Mogan that the premises which | occupy the southwest corner of Jack- | son and Broderick streets is a single structure and therefore legally drained by a single sewer. It was claimed by the Health Board that the property embraced three distinct and separate buildings and should be equipped with three distinct and separate drainage pipes. but Mr. Duffy's experts proved by plans and specifications and dia- grams and dips and spurs and angles and other things that one drainage pipe is as much as the law can demand. x i Police Officer Beach had Douglas | Beverly and Louis Castilia before Judge Mogan on a charge of obstruct- ing the sidewalk by offering flowers for sale at Market and Kearny streets. > was continued till next Mon- | which time the new flower- ng ordinance will probably have passed and signed by the Thomas Jackson (colored) is accused by Detective Whittaker of having sneaked aboard a w schooner and stolen therefrom watch belonging to the master of the craft, and Judge Mogan is holding Mr> Jackson until tive completes a chain of evi- 1gainst him.

HE Rock Island System forms a part of the Scenic Line across the continent, thro’ Salt Lake City and Colorado Springs to Omaha, Kansas City, Peoria and Chicago. Through car service is as follows: Standard sleeper daily San Francisco to Chicago. Stops five hours at Salt Lake. Through tourist sleepers from San Francisco, _ Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Regular daily train service via El Paso. The trans-continental traveler who has never seen Utah and Colorado from a car window, does not know how wonderfully beautiful the best scenery in the United States is. For hundreds of miles the line runs in full view of snow-capped peaks, rushing rivers and through frowning caverns. Take it for that reason alone, if you wish, but also because no other line crossing the continent surpasses it in excellence of service.
