Other Unions Are Following the Lead of the Blacksmiths. The antl-Chinese movement In Stock-ton, inaugurated by the Blacksmiths' Union. is spreading. Last nignt a joint committee of the Federated Trades and the Blacksmiths' Union visited five other unions, namclv. 1 he Laborers Protective, the Asylum Employes, the Electrical Workers, the Stabkmen and the Printing Piessmen.

The committee was composed of Messrs. Herd. Briggs, Salbaeh, McKenzie, Rolf and Oxley. Everywhere they were well received, apd members of the committee declare that beyond a doubt all the organizations mentioned will indorse the anti-Chin se rs nutions passed by the blacksmiths or adopt similar ones. The Stockton Printing Pressmen's Union, No.

132, indorsed them by unanimous vote. The crusade against the Chinamen and Japs has already resulted in many cf them losing their places us cooks, porters and waiters. The resolutions indorsed br the blacksmiths, providing for a avstem of fines for all members of the union who patronize the Chinks directly or indirectly, is having its effect, and the Chinese restaurants are losin; much trade. Restaurants are employing white cooks and the white laundries ate also increasing their business owing to the fact that union men are refraining from giving their washing to the Chints laundries. The resolutions pissed by the black-miths go into effect to-morrow.

UNION WATCH NIGHT SERVICES. The attendance at the union services held in the Central M. E. church by the pastors of most of the churches ofthecity was very large last might. Rev.

RECENT ARRIVALS. Alex Oullahan is not the only proud father of a Christmas child; far be It Gum so. It transpires that the wife of Charley Gall presented him a bouncing boy on Christmas, and he is prouder than Mr. Oullahan, because it is a boy. Mr.

Gall says he wouldn't pay freight on a girl. The wife ftJohn F. Burke, the fireman, came very near presenting her husband a young fireman on Christmas. The life fellow arrived Monday. Burke fcajrs the youngster is a long way froii' a still alarm.

The American Oil and Manufacturing Company, whose plant is located on Hazel-ton avenue, near Grant street, has commenced the manufacture of all kinds of paint, and will have the product on the market by February 1st. The company has a patented substitute for linseed oil which is claimed to be superior to the oil Itself.

Besides making paint, the company is also making a high-grade varnish. NOBODY IS EXEMPT. A New Preparation Which Everyone Will Need Sooner or Later. Almost everybodys digestion i3 disordered more or less, and the commonest thing they do for it is to take some one of the many so-called blood purifiers, which in many cases are merely strong cathartics. Such things are not needed.

If the organs are In a clogged condition, they need only a little iTelp and they will right themselves. Cathartics Irritate the sensitive linings of the stomach and bowels and often do more harm than good. Purging is not what is needed. The thing to do is to put the food In condition to be readily digested and assimilated. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly.

They partly digest what is eaten and give the stomach just the help it needs. They simulate the secretion nd excretion of the digestive fluids and relieve the congested condition of the glands and membranes. They put the whole digestive system in condition to do its work. When that is done you need take no more tablets unless you eat what does not agree ith you. Then take one or two tablets give them needed help and you will have no trouble.

a common sense medicine and a Inon Binse treatment and it will cure time. Not only cure the disease but the cause. Goes about it in a perfectly sensible and scientific wav. We have testimonials enough to fill a book, but we dont publish many of them. However.

Mrs. E. M. Faith, of Byrd's Creek, Vis. says: I have taken all the Tablets I got of vou and they have done their work wed in my case, for I feel like a different person altogether.

I dont doubt if I havi not got them I should have been at rest by this time." H. E. Willard, Onslow. says: "Mr. White of Canton was telling me of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him of dyspepsia from which he suffered for eight years.

As I am a sufferer myself I wisn you to send me a package by return mail- Phil Knlnks, Detroit, pays: Your Dyspepsia rure has worked wonders In mv ease. I suffered for years from dyspepsia but am now entirely cured and enjoy life as I never have before I gladly recommend them. It will cost 60c to find out Just how much Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will help you. Try them that's the best way to decide. mwf JUDGE POST COMING.

Judge Post of Sacramento has been Invited to attend the Yo Semite Club jin-Kles" to-nlirht, and he has promised to be on hand. The Judse was recently named by the Attorney-Generiil-elect as the Assistant Attorney-General of the State. OASTOIIIA. Bean the 1lte Kinl1 Hw ol! For a bo of high-grade Fench mlfd to Tho Wave. aeartr Die Mi Here fn tel San Joaquin county wiU be largely affected by the work which the Commissioner of Public Works and his assistants have outlined, although most of the appropriations requested are for the Sacramento river.

Their object, however, is to lessen the danger of flood in the Sacramento valley by providing a swift outfall into Suisun bay. Incidentally this will lessen the danger of back water in the San Joaquin. Although back water alone has not caused a flood since that of 1861-621 if it occurs at a time when the channels in this vicinity are surcharged the water coming in from the foothills does not find a ready outlet, and consequently there Is danger of inundation. The proposed improvement of the Sacramento river will prevent a rep-etition of the flood of 1862, and the diverting canal east of Stockton will make it impossible for the waters coming down from the foothills to get into town. So Stockton will be thoroughly protected.

The report of the Commissioner, which has just been sent to Governor Gage, Quakes the following recommendations: First A new channel for the Sacramento river, from the point of Horseshoe Bend, dltectly across Sherman island to a free tidtii vutfall in the San Joaquin river. Second The enlargement of the channel past Wood island by excavating a strip off the west side, of the Island 200 feet in width, in length, and to a depth of ten feet below low tide level, with a similar excavation along the right bank of the river for widening the channel opposite to and above the lower end of Brannan island. Third Deepening and improving the river channel In tween Sacramento city and Knights Landing, either by the introduction of mechanical appliances for excavating material or through the introduction of jetties for scouring the channel and transporting the silt. The Saeragiento Bee says: A liberal allowance for cost of excavation would bo 9 cents per cubic yard, making a total of tT22.00u to complete the work. With the channel thus rectified, flood disposal would be facilitated by a more direct ahgiment with ample channel area to a free tilal outfall.

The hlgh-wu-ter line would lowered fully three feet at the junction Old river, Steamboat slough, and Cache dough. Horseshoe bend Emmaton shoals, and Chain island at the mouth of the rlver. would be eliminated. The damaging influ-uoe of cross currents at the confluence of be San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers woVjd be obviated, and a well-defined river clnnel. easier to improve and maintain, it itead of one winding in devious ways th ough an open and shallow bay, would ekir the Contra Costa shore.

The report indicates th the conditions for efficient and economk operation of a hydraulic dredger for ch inel rectification are favorable, and le not recommending the purchase by th State of such a machine, points out that a dredger is owned by the city of Port md, Oregon, and Is operated by the United Skates government on the Columbia river dredger that may be used as a or suction machine, with a capacity of "0DO cubic yards per day. can be coi.sti for $100,000 and operated at a cost $J55 per day. The report says: "Channel fcpTectlon should be made on the San Jonqu a river to the extent of $25,000. These recoii.mend-ations of the department involve an ppro-priation of for the propost! improvement on the Sacramento river i.low Rio Vista, and $140,000 for improvements on the San Joaquin and Mokelumne rhers. The total seems enormous until compared with the flood devastation and property losses of last year on Rver and Hranimn islands and in the Egbert and Lisbon districts.

MONEY FOR TREES.

A. Cowdery, who died on December 21st as the result of injuries received at Port Costa on the afternoon of December 19th, was concluded last evening, the verdict of the Coroners Jury being that death was due to concussion of the brain caused by being knocked down by a railroad engine. A deposition signed by several railroad men employed In the Port Costa yards was to the effect that the engine was moving through the yard at the rate of four miles an hour. A yard tender was standing on the front of the engine and on seeing Mr. Cowdery on the track signaled to the engineer, who in turn blew his whistle.

The bell, according to the deposition, was being rung by the fireman all the time. The accident happened less than a hundred yards from the depot and it was thought that Mr. Cowdery was going to the hotel to wait for the Stockton train. V. h.

Chesnutwood, steward at the State hospital, said he wafat Port Costa at the time of the accident and that hen someone entered the waiting-room an I stated that an old man had been run over he went down the track and recognized Mr. Cowdery. He sent for two physicians and then brought Mr. Cowdery to this cit to St. Josephs Home.

Dr. Southworth and Dr. Ladd, who performed the autopsy, testified that Mr. Cowdery had had three ribs broken, the Caeoir Audi Won Prom Kid Huwird io Eight Fist Rounds The Attend auce Dlscouragiojly Small. The decision of Referee Crowley, who called tne Dixie Kid-Dutch Thurston right at Masonic Music hall last night a draw, seemed to give general satisfaction.

but the writer thought the colored man was entitled to the decision. Dixie certainly did most of the leading, landed the oftener and was much more effective. Both at long-range fighting and in i he mix-ups the dusky scrapper parceled out the goods in better style than his white antagonist. That the white man was net knocked out was mostly due to good luck In getting out of the way several swings, any one of which would have done the trick had it landed in the right place. It is doubtful if Thurston landed half a dozen good blows upon Dixie, who must have put nearly a hundred hard punches in Thurstons lower regions.

Good condition and a rugged physique kept the white man on his fe-d at such times, though once or twice he was in distress. At no time did he have a lead over the other man, who, in his feinting and blocking, made the German evclone look like a novice The very awkwardness of Thurston helped him at times. It must be admitted, however, that Dixie is somewhat wild with swings, and Thurston is entitled to credit for drawing blood from the ear and nose of the Kid, but the latter was never in distress. At times tho fighting was fast and fu rious: frequently it was slow, but never uninteresting. The colored man had a way of smothering up and walking into Thurston, who could not put a glove where it would do any harm.

It went lie limit of twenty rounds. One of the best preliminaries ever seen here was the go between Kid Huw-airl and Caesar At tell, both of yan Francisco. The two little fellows put up hammer-and-tongs fight from start finish. For eight rounds they slugged at each other, Attel! having a dear lead througnout. but the other lad, who cnly 17 years of age, put up a game fight, going after his man all the time.

With a little more ring experience ne will make a hard man to beat. His fare 1 okd lik. a mouldy biscuit afwr the vmtest It- feree Kid Williams very properly gave At tell the fight. Two colored lads, introduced by Joe Gail as Young Morailes and Toad Frog, slapped each other for four rounds, mujn to the amusement of the crowd. Kid Wil.iams declared the bout a draw.

Though the card was as good a one as an Frarn isoo generally gets, the attendance was small. The Stockton Athletic Association has given the spurts of Stoektnn some excellent fictic cards, and always licJ un to its promises, but last rights poor attendance was very discouraging.
