San Fbancisco, Jane 30. United
States Circuit Judge Ross today rend
ered bis decision on the demurrer of
Mrs. Jane L. Stanford against the suit
of the government to recover $15,000,000
from the estate of her last husband,
Senator Stanford. The demurrer sus
tained. Judge Boss allowed the govern
ment to amend its former complaint and
reargue its ase, if it so desired. It was
intimated, however, the law, as con
structed by Judge Ross, not favoring the
case of the United States.
The sustaining Of the demurrer was a
surpise, attorneys generally expecting a
contrary decision. The court began by
reading and explaining the acts and
Statute?, both state and federal, which
had any bearing on the construction of
the Central Pabific railroad and its
branches.
All railroads west of the Missouri river
were, be said, constructed under the
same acts, so if one road were liable to
the government, all them were. In
nearly all of the corporations Lei and
Stanfod was a stockholder. Together
with C. P. Huntington and other incor
porators, he owned 130,880 shares of the
stock. The government, according to its
contract, issued bonds to aid in the con
struction of this road. Though the road
was built under that contract, it was in
corporated under the laws of the state.
Therefore, it became in a way amenable
to the laws of California. The laws of
California, providing that stockholders
of inonrnnrfttinns are individual! v rn.
Sponsible for debts contracted by their
'.companies, he held did not affect . Mr.
Stanford, as the government " claimed,
for the reason that the stockholder lia
bility acts were passed after the govern
ment had made its contract with the
Central Pacific company. If those laws
had been passed before the government
bonded the Central Pacific, however, it
would have made no difference, for the
government had no intention of making
the stockholders personally responsible
for the debts contracted by the com
pany.
Denver's Aldermen.
Desvkr, Colo., June 30. The voters
of the fifth and sixth wards, represented
by Aldermen Emery and Phister, held
mass meetings tonight, at which reso
lutions were adopted asking these re
presentatives to resign from the council.
A committee was sent at Emery, ask
ing him to appear before the meeting,
and explain bis action. He sent word
back that he was afraid some hair-brained
individual might do personal violence.
The meeting then invited him to attend
meeting- Monday night, at which all
the protection he might demand would
be furnished him.

Chicago, June 30. Major Swift today
issued a statement concerning Dr.
Arthur Reynolds, ex-city health com
miseloner, for his management of the
smallpox epidemic last winter, which
caused 159 deaths. The mayor says the
pesthouse was kept in a frightful condl

and inefficient, and that no deaths need
have occurred had the health depart
ment been properly managed. Rey

Very bad policy to neglect symptoms
of trouble in the kidneys. If allowed to
develop they cause much suffering and
sorrow. Bright's Disease, Diabetes and
Dropsy owe their great prevalence and
fatality to neglect of the first warning
symptom. Dr. J. H. McLean's Liver
and Kidney Balm is a certain cure for
any disease or weakness of the kidneys.
A trial will convince you of its great
potency. Price $1.00 per bottle. For

Gresuam's Will Admitted to Frobate.
Indianoplis, June 30. The will of the
late Secretary of State Walter Q. Gres-
ham was admitted to probate in open
court today.
The constitution that has been broken
down or weakened by long standing dis
orders in the liver and kidneys, is ill
fitted to withstand the encroachment of
disease. Such a person takes cold easily,
cannot stand fatigue, and in cases of epi
demics, is the first to fall a victim. The
proper course is to remove the cause of
weakness by treating the liver and kid
neys. Dr. J. H. McLean, s Liver and
Kidney Balm will reach the seat of
trouble and restore the diseased organs
to healthy functional activity. Increased
nourishment of the body will follow and
the patient will rapidly regain health
and strength. Price $1.00 per bottle.

CONCERNING PIANOS.
Kimball's Methods a Menace
Entire Trade.
Chicago Musical Mews.
The following advertisement has been
given a prominent position in the daily
papers of Washington, D. C, and has
been printed in the Chicago Musical
News and the American Hebrew News,
of Portland. We desire to call the atten
tion of. the public to it.
The unfairness of the assertions it con
tains needs no emphasizing, for they
will appear at once to the sense of right
inherent in every legitimate dealer in
pianos all over the country :
Next Tuesday will be a special bar
gain day on pianos at our store. We
have found some grand bargains in new
Upright Pianos (not the celebrated Kim
ball pianos), and propose to give the
public a chance to secure new pianos
next Tuesday at manufacturers' whole
sale prices.
The prices Tuesday next for these new
elegant Upright pianos will be only $149
and $159 each. Part time given if de
sired. These pianos will be on exhibit
at our store all day Monday, but no sales
will be made from this lot until Tuesday,
and will continue that day only.
W. W. Kimball, Co.,
Metzerott Building, Cor. 12th and F. Sts.
The. Kimball . Company may regard
such'methods as fair and honorable, but
they are open to the severest criticism in
attempting to destroy the piano trade in
Washington after many years of honor
able work to promote it.
The unfairness of the card lies in the
assertion that the pianos which are to
be sold at sacrificial prices are not made
by tlffe Kimball company. Therein is
the poison.
This whole scheme ii perpetrated to
give the Kimball pianos a position to
which their merits do not entitle them.
Although the Kimball advertisement de
clares these are not Kimball pianos
which are to be slaughtered it does not
enhancethe value of their own instru
ments. Those who are familiar with the Kim
ball pianos know perfectly well that the
makers can afford to sell them at just
such ruinoni prices as are quoted for
other instruments in their possession at
Washington.
What is there in the Kimball piano to
justify this step? Nothing.
The Kimball company make one of the
cheapest pianos in the United States.
And after the Kimball piano is made
ready for the market it is not then worth
a place above a low rank.
Wlien you come to think of it, can you
name any genuine, Jirstclass house that is
selling the Kimball pianos f
The Kimball managers may consider
they have made a brilliant stroke, but
they are merely using gigantic power to
foist a cheap make on 'he market.
The question is also one of a broader
conception than mere local purview.
Such advertisements as these cut at the
root of the piano industry for they mis
lead private buyers.
Wehall not let this subject stop here.
It is fraught with grave danger to the
entire trade, and, although the Kimball
company is composed of schrewd schem
ers, they may find they have far over
stepped the b6unds of legitimate busi
ness dealing.
