Voters should not forget that besides the State and county tickets to be voted for at the coming general election, there will be nine important constitutional amendments submitted to the citizens of this State for approval or rejection. Every voter should post himself between now and election as to the purport and effect of these amendments, so as to be able to vote intelligently thereon. The amendments, in brief, are as follows: 1. To establish an educational qualification for voters. 2. To provide for the formation of new counties by general law. 3. To exempt from taxation nut and fruit-bearing trees under four years old. 4. To prohibit alien acquisition of land in the future. 5. To permit city and county governments being merged under general law. 6. To make the State Board of Equalization consist of eight members, one from each congressional district, and the State Controller. 7. To exempt property used for public libraries and free museums from taxation. 8. To add the President of the State University and the Professor of Pedagogy therein to the State Board of Education. 9. To raise the pay of members of the legislature to $1,000 for the season instead of $8 per day for the sixty-day session as at present. The Festive Candidate. And now the teetive candidate is ripe, even up to the picking. He riseth between tives of the wives and mothers of the community, owe it to society to make a protest, loud and deep and efficient." "Ladies," said Mrs. Zimmerman, "there were gray-haired and bald-headed old gentleman here, sitting in the front rows, who might have passed the plate in church for forty years." "Perhaps they were there investigating," came from the audience. "Men have no right to investigate such things," cried Mrs. Zimmerman in an emphatic voice. "It is the business of women to investigate, and we are going to do it." After their visit the ladies went to police headquarters and saw Lieutenant Kipley. "Oh, is that all you saw?" said Mr. Kipley to the ladies. "You ought to go to the People's or Aladdin Jr., or 'Off the Earth.' Go and take them in and come and tell me how you like them." The committee had seen enough, and did not continue its investigations. Several lively speeches by members not on the committee followed. Then resolutions denouncing living pictures and stage audity were passed, after which the meeting adjourned. The War in the Orient. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 — The crisis of the Chinese-Japanese war is looked for within the next few days by those who are most interested and best informed in the contest. The legations of the two countries are expecting daily to hear that a decisive battle has been fought. This is based on the fact that the Japanese have gradually been closing in around Peking and the army is compelled by force of circumstances to strike the blow at once or not at all. The intense cold which comes on about the middle of October makes this imperative. The Japanese troops are wholly unprepared for the rigorous climate about Peking, the cold which is due in about two weeks, the climate of Japan being very mild even in winter. The Chinese look upon this as one of their defenses and the Japanese fully appreciate that it compels them to concentrate their campaign for this year into the next few weeks, and, if possible, days. For that reason they are prepared to make heroic efforts to decide the contest at once. They are without the heavy clothing, camp equipage, etc., for a campaign in the bitter cold. YOKOHAMA, Oct. 8 — The advance guard of the Japanese army has crossed the Yalu River and formed a new camp. A battle is believed to be imminent. LONDON, Oct. 8 — A dispatch from Cheenston at Washington at the height of her career, where with great ceremony came the bride of a lieutenant in the Their honeymoon voyage encompass earth. For a long time he was stationed in China seas. But trouble arose among the couple. She came finally to San and a divorce followed. On November 30, 1888, she was married in this city to J. Thomas-Scott. The wedding supper, served Browater, will be long remembered by who attended it. But trouble follow mediately, as another woman class have been introduced by Gifford as The bride and groom went into Loworia that he might escape legal trouble. They lived at Tha Juana and at the road station of Tanama, then moved into San Diego county to the village rero at the edge of the desert. In last Gifford began divorce process. The complaint showed that after choking and otherwise abusing her most of their married career, Gifford left her and gone to France. She has since remained in this townhood, spending much of her time Juana and living comfortably on that at her command. Mrs. Gifford is to be warm-hearted and impulsive too but cocontrio in other ways. During sodate periods she is said to be a greedy of the best class of literature, and she while abiding at the limits, if not lines of civilization, has kept herself formed of the world's doings. It is said that just before Mrs. Death, a year or more ago, she dawned to Ohio. She was met at hold of her old home by her father stern Old Roman. She extended her hand but he stared at her vacantly. "I do not know you," he said; "not my daughter." And she left th September Beets. The accounts for the beets deliver Chino factory during the month tember have been footed up, and a markedly well. The delivery for these amounts to 15,419 tons, 1,310 pounds for which the factory will pay $68. The average percentage was 15%, average price per ton on the net was $4.60. Beets were hauled only during the month, making an average delivery of 811 tons a day. The peat of sugar in the beets has held up very factorily, an average of 15 per cent higher than can be shown in many cases. The delivery for the week end... The Festive Candidate And now the teative candidate is ripe, even up to the picking. He risis between times and putteth on an unotous smile, likewise arrayeth himself in his best bib and tucker. He hangeth his mustache to the extent that "zweilager" may not cleave thereto, for he rememberth the fable of the citizen of Fresno, and taketh heed to his ways. He patronizeth the barber and the boot-black, and the purvoyor of sweetmeats. He loaneth against the awning posts in the gloaming and hailthe passer-by. He lifteth his voice in the highways and byways. He appeareth on the corners of the streets and at the cigar stores. He squandereth many and divers hard carned checkels in "setting them up for the boys," who will, when the time for casting their ballot shall come around, "sit down upon him" with an emphasis that will open his eyes, should the opening of them be possible. He boweth and smilhe when he is tempted to tear his hair, and to indulge in the extravagant use of strong language. He hunteth up the moss-back and the hay-seed tillers of the soil, and talketh of crops and the prices of spuds; also praiseth the beauty of Mrs. Hayased, and kisseth the baby and petttoth old dog Towser on the head. He becometh exceedingly pious and patronizeth all the churches, prayer meetings and sociables. He lighttha lamp and searcheth for votes on the right and on the left, even among the children of the strangers. The scribes and the editors of the newspapers hear of him, and are expected to bear his praise through the length and breadth of the land, even from Dan to Beershoba, and from the mountains on the east to the great sea on the weat. Verily the candidate is an institution in the land, and there are many of him, and his ways are past finding out altogether. There is no medicine so often needed in every home and so admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is intended, as Chamberlain's Paint Balm. Hardly a wook passes but some member of the family has need of it. A toothache or headache may be cured by it. A touch of rheumatism or neuralgia quited. The severe pain of a burn or scald promptly relieved and the sore healed in much less time than when medicine has to be sent for. A sprain may be promptly treated before inflammation sets in, which insures a cure in about one-third of the time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises should receive immediate treatment before the parts become swollen, which can only be done when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A sore throat may be cured before it becomes serious. A troublesome corn can be removed by applying it twice a day for a week or two. A lame back may be cured and several days of valuable time saved or a pain in the side or chest relieved without paying a doctor bill. Procure a 50 cent bottle at once and you will never regret it.

Chicago, October 9.—Tights on the Chicago stage must go and so must those dreadful low waists, for they have shook the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the good ladies have declared war. At its meeting the union denounced living pictures and stage nudity in general and resolved to do its best to abolish the wicked exhibitions. After listening to the report of a committee consisting of Mrs. Isabel Wing Lake, Mrs. L. A. Hagan and Mrs. Zimmerman, who had visited certain downtown theatres, the union adopted the committee report, and the continuance of its work on enlarged lines and with increased membership was decided upon. One lady who spoke thought that the union should not rest until all tacitly licensed places of immorality had been closed, and until there had been a repeal of the law which practically says you must not violate the Seventh Commandment until you are of age. The report of the committee which visited the theatre remained, however, the most interesting feature of the meeting. All the ladies on the committee are gray-haired and matronly. "Ladies, I was simply paralyzed," said Mrs. Hagan, one of them, "and over since I have wept tears of blood. "Your committee visited a matinee at a local theatre, taking seats in the parquette, being informed that no ladies went to the gallery. What went on in the gallery can only be conjectured.

Thomas-Scott Giffler. The wedding supper, served at the water, will be long remembered by those attended it. But trouble followed imatately, as another woman claimed to been introduced by Gifford as his wife. Bride and groom went into Lower California that he might escape legal troubles.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, the poet and author, died at Boston on Sunday. The report is circulated that Spreckels will erect a beet sugar factory near Santa Rosa. The Tuatlin Fruit Association shipped last week the first trainload of dried fruit ever sent out of Orange county and the first this year in the State. It consisted of twelve cars of dried apricots shipped on consignment to a Chicago firm. Reports to the Treasury Department show that during the years 1893 and 1894, under the operation of the sugar-bounty law, California sugar producers cultivated 9070 acres of beets. For the sugar produced from them they received $425,723 81, or at the rate of $46 93 per acre. As Mrs. Fulgham of San Bernardino was retiring for the night some evenings ago, a lamp exploded in her hands, instantly enveloping her in flames. Her orios brought other members of the family who promptly extinguished the flames on her person as well as in the room. About 2 o'clock in the morning the family was awakened to find the house on fire from foundation to roof. The inmates escaped, having barely time to save the most valuable contents. The loss is $4,000; insurance $2,800. Mrs. Daniel Nickerson, who has been living with her husband in the Santa Maria valley in San Diego county, went to stay at the house of her sister at Foster station, taking her four-year-old boy along. By some unknown means, he secured possession of a revolver that was lying on a shelf in the house and was playing with it when discovered by his mother. She ran to take it from him, and at the moment the child found the trigger and pulled it, the bullet entering his mother's body and causing her death in a short time. At 4 o'clock Saturday morning an opening was made through the 6,000-foot tunnel of the Arrowhead Reservoir Company, which connects Little Bear Valley with the watershed of Grass Valley. Work on this and other tunnels has been progressing for two years past, and when completed, it will divert the waters of the Mojave River from the northern watershed of the San Bernardino Mountains to the southern, and by means of storage reservoirs will be utilized in watering the plains between San Bernardino and Ontario, a stretch of twenty miles in length by ten inches. A slender young woman, over whose head accepting one daughter who was expected from Chicago. The preparations were hurried and the bridal party was about to proceed to Bernstein's bedroom. He had been sinking rapidly. The bride and groom took a position close by the bedside and the dying man was propped up with pillows. The other members of the family gathered close by the minister.

"Bug" Holliday, a Los Angeles baseball player, gives notice of his intended marriage to Mary Thurman, his disowned daughter of ex-Senator Allen G. Thurman of Ohio. Miss Thurman has been twice married and divorced, her last husband being Thomas Scott Gifford, with whom she lived in Lower California until their separation in January last, when she secured a decree on the ground of cruelty. Gifford had taken up his abode there to avoid prosecution for bigamy, being married to another woman in this country. Miss Thurman and Holliday left San Diego in company and it was understood by mutual friends in that city that they were to be married in Los Angeles. It was on account of the unfortunate matrimonial alliances of his daughter that the "Old Roman" disowned her, she having deserted her first husband whom she married in Washington during her father's Senatorial career. C.O.Higgins, the San Francisco drug-giatrist has been declared not guilty of perjury in the case which has been before the United States District court for some time. He was charged with having sworn falsely in regard to the right of Wong Sing Non to land in this country. He swore he knew that Wong Sing Non was a merchant at 315 Pacific street in 1889. It was proved that Wong Sing Non could not have had a store at 315 Pacific street in 1889, and the Chinese was deported for perjury in swearing falsely in the case. After a week's trial the case came to an end late Wednesday afternoon. Attorneys Lyman & Mowry and Tupper spoke for the defense and United States District Attorney Garter concluded for the prosecution. Judge Morrow read a very lengthy charge to the jurors, who retired at 4:25 p.m. In less than ten minutes they were back in their seats and had rendered their verdict of not guilty. Three ballots were taken. The first stood 10 to 2 for acquittal, the second 11 to 1 and the third was unanimous. September Beats one accounts for the beets delivered at China factory during the month of September have been footed up, and show remarkably well. The delivery for the month counts to 15,419 tons, 1,310 pounds gross, which the factory will pay $68,725.53. A average percentage was 15, and the average price per ton on the net delivery was $4.60. Beets were hauled only 19 days into the month, making an average daily every 811 tons a day. The percentage sugar in the beets has held up very satisfactorily, an average of 15 per cent being over, than can be shown in many places. One delivery for the week ending this morning has been as follows: Saturday, 912; Monday, 772 tons; Wednesday, half 498 tons; Thursday, 955 tons—a total of the week of 3,137 tons, and for the season of 31,089 tons. The total delivery from them has been 7,200 tons, making the used by the factory for the season to 38,289 tons. The harvest this summer has rather intermittent, the rapid drying making it necessary to stop hauling out every third day. Work in the cooperative shop at the factory stopped, there being enough stock now hand to last the remainder of the camper. The shop has turned out for the season 12,000 barrels, with a working force of ten men. The sugar output for the week ending this morning is 917,185 pounds, making the output for the season to date 7,226,872 pounds, or 3,614 tons. The total sugar output for the season will probably aggregate between 9,000,000 and 10,000,000 pounds. Southern California's big lair is to be held Los Angeles from October 15th to 20th. Industrial display in the pavilion will pass that of any previous year, and the meeting will be the sensational one of year in this State. One of the great meetings will be next Monday—opening day. There are five big events in the card, three of which will be the hot kind of horse races. The blue ribbon running race of the meeting, the Great Los Angeles Derby is on the first day's card. One of the best 3-year-olds in California entered for this event, which will be a race from the fall of the flag. Such races as Orizaba, Charlie A., Montalvo, and Alexia will be among the starters and the presence of these horses alone creates a hot race. The Derby will divide interest with two races for light harness horses—a 2:20 trot 2:14 pace. Every heat of these two races will be a race, so evenly are the races matched. In the pacing race some of the great side-wheelers in the state are needed to start. Among them are Lady H. Waldo J. These two would make a race by themselves, and Del Norte and Dollo will both be heard from. Waldo J. is phenomenal horse of the year. He entered out the season green, and has won race in which he entered. He is only two years old, but has already proved him worthy to compete with the free-for-all races. Waldo J. and Lady H. are both entered in the great free-for-all pace against wood and W. Wood. Special rates have been made by the railroads from October 14th to 20th. The news that the German Ambassador Washington has entered a protest against sugar duty clause of the Wilson bill extended general attention. Councillor Hamann of the Foreign Office, who has the full confidence of Chancellor Von Caprivi, explained the German view of the matter, saying that Germany pays outright export preams to sugar producers. France, Austria Russia pay higher premiums, but they not pay them outright.

A slender young woman, over whose head she viscissitudes of only 20 years have passed, reported to Los Angeles police one day last week that her husband was missing. Many women are in the same fix so there was nothing remarkably strange in the mere fact of the gentleman's absence. The peculiar part of the affair was the mystery surrounding his disappearance and the young wife's desire to keep the details a secret. She succeeded in so far as she newspapers are concerned, but gavethe police her husband's name address, habits and all, and now they are searching for him. As to his going she knows nothing. She said her husband failed to return home, having left last Friday. Their married life had always been pleasant, she said,and she was mystified at his unexplained absence. Rumors say it is another case of "marry in haste and repent at leisure."

Councillor Ham of the Foreign Office, who has the full confidence of Chancellor Von Caprivi, examined the German view of the matter, saying that Germany pays outright export preamble to sugar producers. France, Austria, Russia pay higher premiums, but they do not pay them outright. The German product is nevertheless outstripping all competitors in the trade. The Wilson bill issue, however, discriminates against Germany to her serious injury, as the margin is close to a tenth of a cent a pound makes a difference. This discrimination, he contended, that the clause imposes an extra burden on Germany, which brings upon the existing agreement. Herrammen continues: "The Government still hopes of coming to an amicable entente, there is nothing menacing in our ministers' protest. But naturally we may allow measures in the event of the protest being needed. Such retaliation would especially please our big agrarian party, as it would them of American competition in bread-fills and meat." Monday morning at 10 o'clock, by order Judge Ross of Los Angeles, the receivers Bear Valley Company, A. P. McGinnia and J. A. Graves, sold to Arthur Young, begging the highest bidder, all property, real and personal, of that company, the sum paid being $80,000, which is in full settlement the suit entitled James Gilbert Foster vs. Beaver Valley Company, a corporation. Arthur Young is the representative of the English, Scotch and Chicago creditors. The company will be reorganized at once with a capital stock of $4,000,000, and at least $1,000,000 will be invested within the next twelve months in building a new dam ninety feet in height at Bear Valley lake, quadrupling theorage capacity of the lake, and new ditches and pipe lines will be built to distribute the water to Perris, Alessandro, Moreno, Redlands, Highlands and other counties within a radius of distribution of water. The company is the largest distributor of water Southern California and has already extended millions of dollars on its plant. Old gentleman (11.30 p.m., calling from the head of stairs) — Ethel—um—and did I hear someone go out! Ethel (sweetly)—No; it was only the impala, pana. Ethel's young man (soitto rôce)—Never touched me! "I have heard it said, Miss Emma, that a mass without love tastes like an egg without it. Is that true?" "I don't know; I really cannot—I have ever in my life—" "Come now, Miss Emma—" "Eaten an egg without salt!" The latest development in the sensational San Francisco diamond-robbery case in which Walter Guy Furnald figured as the main guy, is the probability of application being made to Gov. Markham for a pardon. Furnald was convicted by a jury in last March, and was sentenced to three years' imprisonment at Folsom. The petition was drawn up by his attorney, Carroll Cook, last month, and forwarded to Furnald to obtain his signature. No answer has as yet been received and it is believed that the document is in the hands of Mrs. Garner, the woman who gained some notoriety as a witness in behalf of the defense. She was at that time employed at the mint, but was discharged upon Furnald's conviction. Her whereabouts have since been a mystery, and so far as can ascertain, she is said to be engaged in circulating the petition among Furnald's sympathizers in Los Angeles. Carroll Cook professes entire ingorance as to what disposition his client has made of the petition, and claims to have forgotten the grounds upon which the appeal was based. In Butler, a village cast of Roocherst, N.Y., "Kiko," Gulliford, a young married man, publicly sold his wife to Ambrose Bratt for the nominal sum of 25 cents, which was immediately paid and the transfer duly made. Gulliford was married last winter. His wife was a divorced woman who had been released from her marital bonds by her husband being sentenced for larceny. She lived in comparative happiness with Gulliford until this summer, when Bratt and another man began frequenting the house. Gossip ensued, and the couple soon separated. Soon afterward a trace was patched up, and the two began living together, but the husband came upon Bratt and his wife and demanded of the former if he wanted the woman. Receiving an affirmative answer, the sum of 25 cents was fixed upon and paid in her presence, and Bratt drove to the house and got the woman and her belongings. Gulliford afterwards wont about boasting of his bargain, which he evidently considered a good one. The uppermost wish of Nathan Bernstein, a millionaire butcher, was that he might live long enough to witness the marriage of his son John. Mr. Bernstein, who was 64, had lived for the past twenty-two years in Brooklyn. For about a year he had been suffering from an affection of the liver, and with his growing weakness came the wish to see his son happily married. The young man was engaged to Miss Ida Lerne. No definite date had been selected for the marriage. Mr. Bernstein realized that his end was near and he prevailed on the young couple to have the ceremony performed. As the time approached Bernstein expressed the fear that he would not live until the hour set and he urged that it be hastened. All the children were present at the time ex- Frank Cotah—a Mexican, tells of finding on the desert below the boundary line, of the body of an American who died from thirst. There was no means of identifying the remains save that contained in the clothing and a piece of an envelope or paper sack, addressed "James Moore, paymaster A.T. and S.F., Topeka, Kan," a common clasp purse, which held this paper, and part of a greenback in it. The boot was about No. 6, and the man did not appear to have been large. The party was three days without water, suffering untold hardships, but afterward afforded relief to Margarita Angulo and Felipe Moreno, two Mexicans, and an American, supposed to have been Fred Wasson of San Diego. Angulo was insane from thirst, but all recovered. On the return trip, the trail of another wanderer was discovered, and certain circumstances led the party to believe that he had fallen a victim to the desert, as hovering vultures and coyotes howling up the canyon among the hills afforded good ground for the suspicion. Much suffering is reported on the desert by returning prospectors. The water is poor, and there is little of it. George Scherrer, a San Jose saloonkeeper, recently arrested for violating the ordinance passed by the Board of Supervisors of Santa Clara county, was ordered released by the State Supreme Court, to which he appealed on a writ of habeas corpus. The decision is in conformity with the former decision of the Supreme Court in ex parte Roach, a similar case appealed from Kings county. Roach, a saloonkeeper of Hanford, was arrested for violating an order of the County Supervisors, which prohibits the sale of intoxicants between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Roach contended that since he held a license granted by the incorporated town of Hanford, the order of the Supervisors must be inappropriate. In other words the contention was that the Supervisors have no police power within the limits of an incorporated town or city, and the Supreme Court upholds this contention. By the State Constitution equal power is given the town and county governments and it is held that one may not conflict with the other in matters of police regulation. The court says: By the organization of the city within the boundaries of the county territory thus organized is drawn from the legislative control of the county upon the designated subjects and is placed under the legislative control of its own council, and the principle of local government which pervades the entire instrument is convincing of the intention to withdraw the city from the control of the county to annul or supersede the regulations of the city upon the subjects which have been coined to its control."
