HARNEY CHARCED WITH FORGERY Municipal Contractor Will Have to Tell About a Nignature on a Petition R S for the arrest of J. G.

Johnston of Mr. Harney left the rday on & business trip s not expected to return Mr m made by Johnston, Johnston, who-is agi- to | | tating the matter in the neighborhood; is | that Harney signed the name of John- ston to a pe! on addressed to the Board | of Works, asking that the sectlon of Third avenue above mentioned be paved. | In pursuance of the petition, the board voted the contract to Harney, who pro ceeded to go ahead with the work When the contract was announced it is said another contractor came to the resi- dents on the block and offered to pave the streets for a less cost to the proverty owners. Desiring to break the agree- ment with Harney, the people in the neighborhood framed a protest to the Board of Works, asking it to rescind the contract. The board failed to agree on the question of stopping Harney in the | work and left the matter undecided, and | Harney continues his preparations to pave the streets. | Inquiry in the neighborhood fafled to | reveal any great number of property own- | ers who oppose the paving of the street |{and in many instances the action of | Johnston is attributed to a personal mo- tive, as he is also a contractor doing | street work. —————————— Shirt Waist Pattern Sale Begins Monday. 3000 pongee silk pat- | | I terns and kimonos at Orlental Bazaar, 1330 Market street. .

The author- itles have discovered that tuberculosis exists on the island in the worst form, and two cows have died from it already, while others may die before they can be taken away. The disease was discovered several weeks 2g0, and Dr. Richard B. Corcoran, veterinary of the artillery corps at the Presidio, was sent to Angel Island to investigate and make a report. A thor- ough investigation was made and several large tubercular glands were cut from different cows and examined by the com- bined medical department of the post. The condition was considered serious and ten of the cows were immediately con- demned, and six quarts of their milk was sent to San Francisco to be examined by & chemist, who reported that the milk was in a bad condition and not fit for consumption. Upon further examination it was decided to use condensed milk at the post and condemn all the cattle in pasture at the depot of recruits and cas- uals and thus prevent the spread of the disease among the other cattle on the island. The condemned cattle are the property of F. Pearl, an old veteran of the Clvil ‘War, who has supplied milk to the post for the last twenty years and who al- ways boasted that his milk would stand a better test than any dairy around the bay. There is some doubt, however, as to his boast applying to the health of the cattle, for it is now reported that they have been condemned on several dcca- sions and. were only permitted to remain on the island through some influence brought to bear upon the authorities. His dairy would probably have never been questioned but for the death of two of his cows, which caused a dispute be- tween the owner and the authorities as to who should bury the animals. The re- cruits were finally sent out to do the necessary work, and an investigation was immediately begun as to the cause of the death. It resulted in the condemning of all the cattle at the post. The cattle were rounded up yesterday | and will be shipped from the island as soon as the owner can get a suitable pasture for them. As the officers as well as the men at the post are without fresh milk Pearl may obtain permission to pur- chase new cows and still supply the post with milk. Pear] has had charge of the water works on the island for over twenty years. He ran the dairy as a side line and supplied the officers and men with milk, in the latter case receiving his money from the company funds. SURPRISES FOR GUESTS.

In the first place, 290 more rooms are to ba added to the gigantic structure, this without disturbance to the business of the house. The hotel is always spend- ing liberally and keeping abreast of the demands of the age. Just now the ladies’ grill room is in the hands of decorators from W. J. Sloane Company of New York, who are also at present finishing up one hun- dred bedrooms and parlors in the most beautiful way imaginable. Steam heat or open fires awalt the pleasure of guests and there are tele- phones in every room, all connecting with a central exchange in the hotel office. o All dust is now removed from the carpets in halls and rooms by a sanl- tary compressed air sweeping plant, which deposits it through pipes into the basement. In the grill rooms the management is installing a ventilating plant that will give a complete change of air every ten minutes. These are a few of the good things going on at the world's greatest hotel. The Palace has always been a center of social activity, but just now there is more going on than ever before. In addition to banquets, smart set cotil- lons, parties, etc., the Palace s becom- ing quite the correct place for wed- dings. The Empire room, where mar- riages are celebrated, is a dream of beauty.

It is the flower of modernity in all its appointments, its cuisine is fa- mous the world over—and for comfort it 18 in every sense a palace, a mansion for enjoying life as if at home. OLYMPIC ELEVEN PLAYS i ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL First- Match Takes Place at Alameda To-Day Against Second Team of the Vampires. At 11 o’clock this morning the ball will be kicked off in a match between thd Olympic Club association football team ®nd the second eleven of the Vampires on the grounds at Webster street, Ala- meda. Henry Roberts, secretary of the California Association Football Ref- erees’ Union, will be the referes. The Olympic Club team will be chosen from the following: Minehan, Glarner, Lynch, H. Duncan, George James, Mountz, Minto, Scanlan, Wallfish, Phillips, Mc- Carthy, Bullion, Wilkinson and J. D. Robertson.

The nerves drink it up, and it becomes a part of the nerve life. It is really so much added vitality, and as all these troubles come from a loss of vitality, the benefits that are derived are a natural result.” “I suppose,” said the skeptical friend, “that your treatment is especially for what are called ‘weak men,’ or is it good for general troubles?” “It is a tonic invigorant. It restores strength, cir- culation and vitality to every organ of the body. It is no more a ‘weak men’ treatment than a stomach treatment. It is o more for men than for women. It restores the vital energy that is needed by people who are run down in any manner, and you know that nearly every trouble that people have comes from a want of sufficient vital force to keep up health.” “I see that you claim advantages over the old style vinegar charging electric beit?” Visalla, Cal., Oct. 224, 1905.

HALL Talks About His Electro-Vigor “Tell me, doctor,” said a well-meaning but skeptical friend, “does this Electro-Vigor of yours really restore youthful vigor and cure all these nervous and stomach troubles as your advertise- ments claim ?” s “I will answer that question positively, Yes; and I want you to reason it out for yourself. “Now, you understand, that all these troubles which come under the head of lost vigor, ner- vousness, stomach troubles, rheumatism and so on, are simply an absence of human vitality. You can see that.” ing and disgusting, no bother and no burning out of the batteries. A vinegar belt burns out and it cannot be replaced. If my cells wear out I can at- tach new cells in a few moments and the battery is as good as ever. s “I will give $1000 for one of my Electro-Vigor appliances” which will not last a year. Every one r_\f them is guaranteed to last, or if it does not I will pay this reward and replace it with a new one free. Lovelock, Nev.
