ASKS POLICE T0 SEARCH FOR MISSING DATGHTER They Dy Not Mrs. Benjamin Borren of 211 Web- ®tér street reported to the police yes- terday that her daughter, Eva Vand- ruff, 17 years of age, had mysteriously disappeared, not having been seen since : ghe left home Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock. The girl went away in the company of Mrs. Isla Murat, Edwin Miller and Arthur Curran and no trace has yet been found of any of them. The mother was heartbroken and in great mental anguish, caused by the fear that her daughter had met with foul play, She said that Mrs. Murat, husband is a photographer at | Share Mother’s Fears 2299 Mission street, and who is only 16 vears of age, came to her home on New !

This may read as though we were putting it a little strong, because it is| generally thought by the majority of people that Dyspepsia in its chronic form is incurable or practically so. But we have long since shown that * Dyspepsia is curable, nor is it such a difficult matter as at first appears. The trouble with Dyspeptics is that they are constantly dieting, starving themselves or going to the opposite | extreme or else deluging the already | overburdened stomach with “bitters,” “after dinner pills,” etc., which in- variably increase the difficulty, even if in some cases they do give a slight temporary relief. Such treatment of .~ the stomach simply makes matters : worse. What the stomach wants is a | rest. Now how can the stomach be- | come rested, recuperated and at the . same time the body nourished and | This is a great secret and this is| also the secret of the uniform success | . of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. This is | a comparatively new remedy, but its| success and popularity leave no doubt .as to Its merit, " The Tablets will digest the food anyway, regardless of condition of stomach. The sufferer from Dyspep- ! sia, according to directions, is to eat| -an abundance of good, wholesome food and use the tablets before and after each meal, and the result will| be that the food will be digested, no * matter how bad your Dyspepsia may be, because, as before stated, the tab- ‘lets will digest the food, even if the stomach is wholly inactive. To illus- _trate our meaning plainly, if you take 1800 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place it In a temperature of 98 degrees and put with it one of Stu-| art’s Dyspepsia Tablets it will digest the meat or e almost as perfectly as if the meat was inclosed within the stomach. The stomach may be ever so weak, yet these tablets will perform the : work of digestion and the body and * brain will be properly nourished and at the same time a radical, lasting cure of Dyspepsia will be made be- v.use the much abused stomach will be given, to some extent, a much needed rest. Your druggist will tell | vou that of all the many remedies ad- vertised to cure Dyspepsia none of them has given so complete and gen- eral satisfaction as Stuart’s Dyspep- sla Tablets, and not least in import- . ance in these hard times is the fact that they are also the cheapest and - give the mest good for the least \money, { | - GIRL, WHO HAS BEEN OM HER HOME GHT.

TURNS AGAINST THE EPPINGERS ‘Warehouse Snperintendent Demings Says Firm Mixed All Its Grades of Wheat —— {EVIDENCE IS IMPORTANT | May Mean Pro Rata Appor-| tionment of the Entire Sum of Money at Stake —_—— { | After several days of Investigation | as to the handling of grain in the ware- | { house of Eppinger & Co., at Crockett, | James ‘Demings, the superintendent, | todk the stand yesterday and testified that it would be almost an impossibii- ity to separate the pile of grain, | amounting tor 3500 tons, at present in ) the warehouse, into lots giving each of | the creditors his full share. The banks | of this city and throughout the State {hold warehouse receints for lots of { grain, but the testimony of Demings | conclusively proved hat the Eppingers { paid no attention to the numbers on each lot, but mingled them and pre- | sented the result as the numbers asked | for. | Demings testified that when a ship | came for grain he would telephone to| | the Eppinger office in San Francisco, {and received orders to deliver the wheat lying nearest to the berth of the | vessel, irrespective of the lot number. {In many cases this was done, and when, for instance, lot was | called for a portion of lot No. 706 would be given, and the numbers would be changed, so as to give the impression that the right grain was being given |out. This practice went on for some, jtime until, in the witness' opinion, it {was impossible to identify the sepa-| rate lots. H | A memorandum book used by Dem- | ings was the cause of much argument ! between Frank H. Powers and W. H.| | Chickering as to its admission. The ibook contained what purported to be |a segregated list of each lot of grain, | | and therefore supposed to be of use in | identification. It was shown, however, | that the book was compiled from the | missing books of the firm, and it could not be admitted. It was also brought out that a great deal of the wheat was { mixed with barley, and that the iden- | | tification of individual lots was impos- | sible. | Jacob Eppinger was called to the | stand during the morning session, but | under instructions of his counsel, | | James H. Budd, he refused to answer any question on the ground that it} | might tend to incriminate him. ; GRAND JURY IS ACTIVE. | | | Again Indicts the Eppingers and Ac- | . cuses Election Commissioners. 1 The Grand Jury returned a new ac- | | cusation against the members of the | | Board of Election Commissioners ves- terday, praying that they be removed from office. The charge Is similar to | that filed by the former inquisitorial | body, only correcting the technical de- | fect that caused Judge Lawlor to dis- | | miss the original accusation. | Messrs, Robert W. Roberts, James | | A. Devoto, E. C. Lefingwell, Thomas | | Maguire and A. W. Voorsanger, who | | constitute the board, will be served with notice to-day and given ten days in which to answer. There was no es- | caping of prosecution, for some time | ! ago the Merchants’ Association an- | nounced that it would prefer charges | | against the Commissioners if the ma- chinery of the law usually set in| | operation in such cases did not move. | The allegations of misfeasance are not new, being those set forth in the | Lilienfeld jury’s accusation and in | the charges under which ‘the Mayor | is at present investigating the conduct of the board. It Is charged that of- ficers for the Seventy-third and Eigh- | tieth precincts were appointed for the | primary election held last August who | were neither on the assessment roll nor residents of those precincts, and that three of them were at the time | holding salaried positions under the | municipal government. It was in| | these two precincts that the frauds | | were committed. [ The Grand Jury also presented ad- ditional Indictments yesterday against | Jacob Eppinger, Hermann Eppinger, Josua Eppinger and James Demings !in connection with the grain frauds. | The accused were indicted several days ago, but yesterday' s charges ere on new counts. The Grand Jury is bent on having successful prosecu- tions made in the gigantic swindle by means of bogus warehouse certificates. | Bernard Ettlinger, who was a member of the firm of Eppinger & Co. Is said to have furnished the jurors with {much new incriminating evidence. Demings was superintendent of the warehouses at Crockett that were He- void of wheat, though banks were | | lending the firm hundreds of thou- sands of dollars on certificates repre- sented to be issued there. James Demings was arrested yester-' day afternoon and released on $15,000 | bonds furnished by 'his father and Captain Erickson. Jacob and Her- | mann Eppinger were arrested last night | and each released on $15,000 bonds fur- nished by a surety company. | At a late hour last night Josua Eppinger had not been found. 3 e R ‘WILL VISIT ALL THEATERS.

The Board of Works has declared that no discrimination will be shown and that any theater which does not comply with the regulations wlill be closed. Upon application of Attorney Henry C. McPike for the Baldwin Theater, and Julius Kahn for the Unique The- ater, Judge Seawell yesterday granted a temporary order restraining Chief ‘Wittman and the Board of Public ‘Weorks from closing those places of amusement under directions of the Grand Jury. An order to show cause why the injunction should not be made permanent was made returnable next Friday morning. The Baldwin management recites that the place has just been remodeled to fit require- ments of the Board of Works and that the closing would entail great lcss. ———— De Pachmann Season Sale Begins To-Day. ‘The season sale of seats for the De Pachmann concerts at the Alh::bn Theater Tuesday and Friday nights and Saturday afternoon of next ‘week opens this at Sherman, Cla; Tota. “Bingle seats will be on sele Satirday, 5 it FOR DAMAGES.—Wolt d = Baron, dealer for injured business Smith. on £ H | § E 1 £ i i | : i ! g i g | ! acting, which in the circumstances can | the end, and its pleasant way there, | types, & refreshi i rival at elther city. ALCAZAR SHOW VERY POPULAR —_— “The Girl and the Judge” Gives Miss Woodson’s Powers Pleasing Scope RRLRR ERRRRR RRRUN AERR RERRRERL R RRRRRE KRR RERE RERERIRRRY. RRRRRRERRY RERRR “LUCIA” AT THE TIVOLI Tetrazzini's Great Soprano| Voice Proves Worthy of Donizetti’s Haunting Music | The Alcazar saw last night a tidy little personal success for Elizabeth Woodson and a new Fitch play of more than common charm in “The Girl and the Judge.” Miss Woodson, the “Girl,” substituted in the part for Miss Lillian Lawrence, who was {il. On Monday night Miss Woodson read the lines; last night she gave a perform- ance of the part excellent in the cir-| cumstances, and with hardly any as-| sistance from the prompter. It is this kind of thing that proves the actress’ mettle, and Miss Woodson showed her- self both accomplished and unusually adaptable. one, was one well fitted to Miss Wood- son’s personality, and she invested it with an appealing girlish charm that reminded strongly at times of Annie’ Russell herself. The story of “The Judge” s based upon somewhat decper note of tragedy than Fitch usually cares to touch. The mother of “the girl a kleptomaniac, and the | little family. father, mother and daugh- | ter, have been driven from place to place through the mother's unfortu- nate tendency. The first act finds them in Judge Chartris' office. where the father and mother have come to obtain a divorce. The father acknowledges ! his_own drunkenness as a good and | sufficient reason, and the daughter is | told to choose between her parents. She clings to the mother because of | her weakness. But Judge Chartris—a | quite Arcadian sort of person—falls in | love with the daughter. His mother, | an amiable and impetuous dame, also falls in love with her. In quite Arca- | dian fashion she calls upon the stran- | gers the following day—and Mrs. Stan- | ton, overcome by her old mania, steals a breastpin from the lady. The follow- ing scene, a bedroom scene, at mid- | night, played by ‘the mother and daughter, the mother confessing her crime, is quite powerful. It lacked something of emotional stamina in the | Girl a and the readily be forgiven. How everything comes out right in may be seen at the Alcazar. One meets in the play amusing and well-drawn the character of a landlady, | who has seen better days, and in con- | sequence considers herself privileged to impose worse ones upon the board- ers, being among the best. pawnbroking lady also add to the joys of living. The performance is an uncommonly good one taken throughout. John Craig is the Judge, and convincing in | the forethought, incisive, manly fash- jon that is familiar with him. Miss Adele Belgardq has very grate- ful part as the Judge's mother, and is humorous, womanly and mannerly in the part. is quite clever in her portrayal of the ingrained weakness of the character. Another capital performance is of Laura Adams as the landlady. It could hardly be bettered. Julia Branc again—it is distinctly place aux dames ; in ““The Girl and the Judge"—furnishes a very funny character bit as the pawnbroker. Calvin Dix as her son is also comically realistic. Then Luke Conness as the Stanton papa is ac- | ceptable, and John B. Maher brings a ! red wig and a couple of excellently spoken lines to the cast. “The Girl and the Judge” has “made good.” To-night Miss Lawrence will assume e girls part. The matinee rence was to appear to-morrow after- noon as Mrs. Alving. with Harry Mes- : tayer in his well-known assumption of the Oswald part, has been postponed until next Wednesday afternoon. . BLANCHE PARTINGTON. o The Tivoll. The audience that packed the Tiv- oli to its utmost limits went wild with enthusiasni after the mad scene in “Lucia” last evening and all on ac-| count of the very remarkable vocal work of Signorina Tetrazzini, The dra- | matic part of the scene did not count | materially. In fact, it hardly figured as an appreciable fact. But the sing- ing of Tetrazzini brought forth such 2 demonstration of approval as will | be memorable In the annals of the | Tivoll whenever they shall be writ- | ten. It began with “bravos,” deep- | ened into American cheers and was prolonged until the artist had been | before the curtain half a score of | times. The din sounded from the or- chestra chairs to the top gallery, which was densely packed with an audience of Jtalian temperament. No greater cozipliment has ever been; | paid to a singer In San Francisco. Never was = demonstration more de- served. All this was in despite of the fact that Tetrazzini had a cold. Her art and purity of tone carried the day completely, notwithstanding drawback. It was a Tetrazzini night, emphatically. Signor Colll was the Edgardo. In the last scene he secured “bravos’” and was at his best. La Puma was the Enrico, De Marco the Arthur. Oddly enough the sextet was given only once and then withfive instead of six principal singers. The opera was conducted by\Signor Golischiani. The chorus work was good. A fea- ture of the performance was the fine harp playing of Signora Carusi. ——————— Sleeping Car to and From Sacramento.

Asserson, U. S. N., was retired from active service with the rank of rear admiral and the corresponding pay, but when he used the title of “rear admiral” upon his visiting card a line officer of similar grade protested to the Navy Depart- | ment that Mr. Asserson, being a staff officer, was unauthorized to use a title that ‘belonged only to officers of the navy empowered to actually command ships and squadrons.” The Secretary of the Navy, by directing Mr. Asserson not to use the title of rear admiral, either in official or personal corre- spondence, practically supports the | contention of the line officer. It is sald that an effort is to be made in the next Congress to correct this an- omaly by authorizing the staff officer to assume the corresponding line title. Could not the’ problem be solved by some appropriate affix to the more fa- miliar and more generally honored title —as engineer rear admiral, surgeon rear admiral, pay rear admiral? There | is already a precedept for such action in the case of the army, where we now have surgeon general, paymaster gen- eral and quartermaster general. Some such law authorizing the use on all oc- casions of a distinctive and sufficiently honorable title would remove much friction.—Engineering News. Curse of the Permanent Job. is interesting—and possibly im- | portant—to note that the chief cause of matrimonial failures is the chief cause of failure in other directions.
