Of this! sum $12,000 was taken off Adams by | Secret Service Agent Connell, who has | been at work on the case for several weeks. Connell says that Adams has made a practically complete confession | of guilt, stating that he has abstracted more than $30.000 from miners’ packs | since June last and substituted black | sand to represent the deficit in welght. | Adams was taken before United States Commissioner Klefer this after- noon and held in $30,000 bonds to ap- | pear for preliminary examination on | day next. Adams believes he will | be able to secure bondsmen when ar- | rajgned in court. Adams made no | statement other than to demur as to the amount alleged to have been taken. | Secret Service Agent Connell, on the | witness stand, testified that from the | result of his examination of Adams accounts he had reason to believe that | the shortage would exceed $35,000.

In buying the garment of us you save from $3 to $5 on your purchase. Q. Another reason is because we carry the largest stock in San Francisco and the collection contains every known style in a sufficient variety of patterns to in- clude just what you want. @ You see, we manufacture our own goods and sell direct to you at only one fair profit over the cost of making. Other dealers buy their stock from manufac- turers and the garments bear two profits when they reach you. This difference is from $3 to $5 on each garment. @ Many men think $11 too low a price for a suit or over- coat. Their opinion is based on past experience. Things” have changed lately in the making of ready-to-wear clothes—now you can buy direct from the makers and you buy close to the cost of production. @ By this method of direct selling we have cut $4 off the price of the usual $15 garment—$11 here buys a $15 suit, overcoat or Cravenette.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 23.—The month- |1y bulletin issued by the State Board | ot Health shows that during October | tuberculosis was the leading specific cause of death in California. It is sig- nificant, however, that about one-ninth of the victims of this disease had lived | itf the State less than a year. For October vital statistics were r ported from all except four of the fiff seven counties in California. The poj lation in 1905 has been estimated co servatively according to the Census Bureau method by adding to the popu- lation In 1900 five-tenths of the increase between 1890 and 1900, except that for the few counties showing decreases be- tween the last two Federal censuses and the population in 1900 has been taken for 1905 and for some leading cities arbitrary estimates have ‘been made because of their exceptionally rapid growth.

It is not believed that a general strike of all the build- ing trades unicns will follow, as such a course was voted down two weeks ago. —— Jury in Murder Case Disagrees.
