DECREASE IN VALUATION County Assessor Vegeley's Figures Shoa Falling Off In Value of Over Seven Thousand Dollars. The assessment roll of Orange county for the year 1897 has been completed. It places the valuations of all property in the county of Orange at $10,188,800. This is a decrease in valuations over 1896 of $7,170. County Assessor Frank Vegeley furnishes the following figure: VALUATION 1896. Acreage.....332,374 Valuation on property outside of incorporated cities...$5,298,111 Improvements on same.....881,171 Valuation on property inside of incorporated cities.....1,575,096 Improvements on same.....1,046,131 Personal property.....1,266,001 Solvent credits and money.....129,435 Total valuation.....$10,195,977 VALUATION 1897.

The valuation of solvent credits nearly $30,000 less than in 1896. This is explained by the fact that considerable sums of money are yearly sent out of the county about the first of March to avoid assessment. American Butter.

On receipt of ten cents, cash or stamps, a generous sample will be mailed of the most popular Catarrh and Hay Fever Cure (Ely's Cream Balm) sufficient to demonstrate the great merits of the remedy. ELY BROTHERS, 56 Warren St., New York City. Rev. John Reid, Jr., of Great Falls, Mont., recommended Ely's Cream Balm to me. I can emphasize his statement, "It is a positive cure for catarrh if used as directed." — Rev. Francis W. Poole, Pastor Central Presa Church, Helena, Mont. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for catarrh and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents. The valuation of solvent credits is nearly $30,000 less than in 1896. This is explained by the fact that considerable sums of money are yearly sent out of the county about the first of March to avoid assessment. American Butter. Interesting Comparison by the Department of Agriculture at Washington. WASHINGTON, July 8.—Finding it difficult to get an unprejudiced and definite comparison made in London between butter sent there by the United States Department of Agriculture with the best products of other countries tries, Secretary Wilson directed his agent at London to buy there representative packages of fine butter from various sources and send them in cold storage to New York. This was recently done, and the foreign lot included samples of the best English (Dorsetshire), Danish and French butter, and boxes from Australian and Irish creameries as well as rolls of "sweet" or unsalted butter, such as that sent daily from Brittany, and sells at the highest price in the London market. These foreign butters were last week critically examined by the leading butter merchants of New York and compared with packages reserved from a lot lately sent abroad by the Department made in creameries in Minnesota and Massachusetts. Excepting the Australian, these butters were all about the same grade. The Danish which ranked first in the salted-butter supply of the English butter market was a little newer and fresher than the Minnesota product. The American samples were much better than those of the brands which Great Britain depends upon, and we can deliver it in good condition in London if that manket will pay satisfactory prices for it. The fresh Brittany rolls so much amused were quoted at 25 cents per pound wholesale in London last month and the Danish at 21 cents. The Minnesota butter, thus pronounced superior or to the latter, sold in New York at 17 or 16 cents, and could be offered London at 19 or 20 cents at a handsome profit. SUGGESTIVE. A teacher examining his class Bible knowledge asked: “What did Samson slay the Philistines with?” No answer. Wishing to help them remember he tapped his jawbone with his finger saying: “What is this?” Then they exclaimed, in a mighty chorus: “The jawbone of an ass!” ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1897. & Son.

Los Angeles Supervisors Will not Appoint Road Trustees. Judge Van Dyke of the Los Angeles Superior Court rendered a decision upon the new road law which will be of interest throughout the entire State. The plaintiffs in the case, Richard Garvey, James D. Durfee and Wm. M. Snoddy, sued the Supervisors of Los Angeles county for a writ of mandamus compelling the board to appoint road trustees under the new road law. The demurrer of the county was sustained, and therefore the petition of the plaintiffs was denied. The Clarke road law was signed by Governor Budd on the first day of last April, and as it contained no provision as to when it should go into effect, it was declared in effect according to law sixty days from the day it was signed. The sixty days expired on May 31, 1897. The new law specially provides that an election of road trustees shall be held in each county on the last Saturday of May in each year. This year the last Saturday in May came on May 29, two days before the law went intoferences and negotiations as may be conducted with the British government. "It has been known that M. Meline and the French ministry were outspoken in expressing the sympathy for the objects of their mission and in promising that their concurrences would not be wanting for the triumph of national bimetallism on international lines, but it has not been suspected that the French government would be prepared to lend diplomatic as well as moral support to this movement of the McKinley administration in favor of bimetallism. "It is nevertheless true that those envoys in this negotiation with the Foreign Office and the Chancellor of the Exchequer will have the hearty cooperation of the French and American embassies, Messrs. Wolcott, Stevenson and Payne are not here on an errand of political adventure. They are successful negotiators who have carried their main points in Paris and have enlisted not only the good-will, but also the active co-operation and diplomatic support of the French government in their London campaign. Ambassador May has been ardently at work on the same lines ever since his arrival in London, and his prestige and influence are now of the greatest possible service in facilitating the work of the envoys, who are likely to remain here several weeks before returning to Paris. "What was originally an effort on the part of the McKinley administration to carry out the pledges of the Republican platform respecting bimetallism grounded on international agreement has become already a joint movement on the part of the United States and France to bring about a settlement of the monetary question through the action of a new conference. France is the natural ally of the United Staes in this movement, because she has greater interest than any other European State in bimetallism. The bank of France contains in its vaults over $255,000,000 in silver which has been withdrawn from circulation."

The assessment of San Joaquin for 1897 shows a total property value of $32,605,338, $1,193,393 less last year.

The valuations of all property of Orange at $10,188,805 decrease in valuations over 170. County Assessor Frank furnishes the following figures: VALUATION 1896. on property out-incorporated cities. $5,298,115 ments on same. 881,170 on property inside incorporated cities. 1,575,090 ments on same. 1,046,130 property. 1,266,015 credits and money. 129,455 VALUATION 1897. on property out-incorporated cities. $5,345,220 ments on same. 931,815 on property inside incorporated cities. 1,505,026 ments on same. 1,048,720 property. 1,257,430 credits and money. 100,595 VALUATION $10,195,975 fatures do not include the rail-assessments, which will aggregate 20,000. valuation of solvent credits is 200,000 less than in 1896. This led by the fact that considerations of money are yearly sent out county about the first of March assessment. AMERICAN BUTTER. Comparison by the Department of Agriculture at Washington. INGTON, July 8.—Finding it to get an unprejudiced and comparison made in London butter sent there by the UniDepartment of Agriculture. ANGELS county for a writ of mandamus compelling the board to appoint road trustees under the new road law. The demurrer of the county was sustained, and therefore the petition of the plaintiffs was denied. The Clarke road law was signed by Governor Budd on the first day of last April, and as it contained no provision as to when it should go into effect, it was declared in effect according to law sixty days from the day it was signed. The sixty days expired on May 31, 1897. The new law specially provides that an election of road trustees shall be held in each county on the last Saturday of May in each year. This year the last Saturday in May came on May 29, two days before the law went into effect. Heretofore the boards of supervisors of the various counties have had full control of all county roads, and the funds set aside for their improvement. The new county government act, which was signed on the same day and went into effect on the same day as the Clarke law, makes no changes in this regard: Under its provisions the board of supervisors continues to be in authority in all matters pertaining to county roads. The Clarke law provides that the road trustees shall have full charge of all district road moneys and full authority to repair all district roads. It further provides that all roads shall be classified district roads until otherwise classified. A petition was filed with the board of supervisors of Los Angeles county on June 1, 1897, by a majority of the electors of the El Monte road district, asking for the appointment of Garvey James D., Durfee and William M. Snoddy as road trustees for the El Monte district. The board refused the petition on the ground that there was no action to be taken in the matter that would be within the limits of its power. An action was then brought to obtain a writ of mandamus from the court to compel the board to appoint the three men as road trustees under the petition. A demurrer to the petition was interposed by the defense on the ground that no vacancy existed in the office of road trustees of the El Monte district which the board was obliged to fill. The demurrer was argued at some length by Deputy District Attorney Holton for the county, and S. O. Houghton for the plaintiffs. After hearing the arguments Judge Van Dyke held that the demurrer was well taken, and that there was no vacancy as alleged by the plaintiffs. The court intimated quite strongly that the entire act was unconstitutional. He said the old law would continue in force with the power still in the hands of the boards of supervisors to manage all county roads until the new county government act is superseded by some other law. Judge Van Dyke said that at the present time the new county government act was to be held in force, as no other law is in force superseding it. Seed Record Broken. Over 20,000,000 Packages Sent Out by Congressmen This Year. Over 20,000,000 packages of vegetable, flower and field seed have been distributed by the Department of Agriculture during the past spring. This distribution has given to each member of Congress 40,000 packages of seed at a total cost of $130,000. Over a million of these packages were flower seed and nearly 300,000 field seed, the balance being a great variety of vegetables. In the entire distribution nearly every variety of vegetable known to the agricultural sector represent the national spirit. “What was originally an effort on the part of the McKinley administration to carry out the pledges of the Republican platform respecting bimetalism grounded on international agreement has become already a joint movement on the part of the United States and France to bring about a settlement of the monetary question through the action of a new conference. France is the natural ally of the United Staes in this movement, because she has greater interest than any other European State in bimetalism. The bank of France contains in its vaults over $255,000,000 in silver which has been withdrawn from circulation. “Both governments have a common interest in obtaining the adjustment of this monetary question which has caused a disturbance throughout the commercial world and they are naturally supporting each other in the negotiations now opening in London. Trouble With Japan. Uncle Sam May Have a Brush With the Mikado Over Hawaii. CHICAGO, July 10.—A special from Washington says: There is serious danger of diplomatic friction between the United States and Japan over Hawaii. Although the reply which Japan has made to Secretary Sherman’s note concerning the intentions of this government has been received, the state department holds it in secrecy. It is known, however, that the reply is not so amiable as had been hoped for. The reply of the Japanese government is of such tone, and there are such suspicious movements of certain Japanese warships, that the administration is afraid Japan may be meditating some coup de force in Honolulu. It is understood that in their reply the Japanese still contend that they have equal rights with the United States in Hawaii, and that the attempt of the United States to annex the islands without consultation with Japan is a breach of good faith. One thing is certain, and that is no matter which way the diplomatic matter turn, the administration does not propose to be caught napping. If the Japanese make a show of force at Honolulu without an announced intention of demanding that the Hawaiian government comply with the demands for reparation which were submitted some time ago, this government will do the same thing. None need be surprised if the warships of the United States and Japan frown on one another in Honolulu harbor within the next two weeks. War is not expected by any member of the Washington government familiar with the facts, but it is admitted that the mobilization of the naval craft at Honolulu would be sufficient to produce a hazardous situation. Already there is a good deal of animosity toward the United States on the part of the Japanese naval officers, and an overt act on their part might precipitate a great deal of trouble. During the past ten days the navy department has made special preparations of a quiet sort for mobilization of our naval forces on the Pacific; should the turn of diplomacy make such action necessary. At the present time the United States is not so strong in the Pacific as Japan. If the Nicaragua canal were open, the advantage would all be on our side in case of trouble. SEATTLE, Wash., July 10.—The Japanese press is grinding out fierce editorials on the pending annexation treaty with Hawaii, and if these belloise paragraphs represent the national spirit, Westminster Celery Company. capital stock is $50,000 divided into shares at $50 each, of which $195 uses been subscribed.

Congressmen This Year. Over 20,000,000 packages of vegetable, flower and field seed have been distributed by the Department of Agriculture during the past spring. This distribution has given to each member of Congress 40,000 packages of seed at a total cost of $130,000. Over a million of these packages were flower seed and nearly 300,000 field seed, the balance being a great variety of vegetables. In the entire distribution nearly every variety of vegetable known to the agriculturists was distributed. There were 92 varieties of beans, 10 varieties of beets, 23 varieties of cabbage, 11 varieties of carrots, 19 varieties of sweet corn, 18 kinds of cucumbers, 30 kinds of lettuce, 19 kinds of muskmelons, 17 varieties of watermelons and 15 varieties of onions. The entire amount of seeds distributed was sufficient to plant an area of 355 square miles, or half the size of Orange county. This is the largest distribution of seed ever attempted by the Department of Agriculture, and it is said that seedsmen all over the country are complaining that they do not make sales to farmers and others because they are getting all the seed they want free from the Department of Agriculture. The distribution of seed in 1893 amounted to 8,800 packages for each member of Congress, at a total cost of $66,548; in 1894 each Congressman got 16,000 packages, the entire cost to the government being $57,000; in 1895 the number of packages of seeds distributed was the same as in the previous year, but the total cost was reduced to $47,000. In 1896 Congressmen got 15,-000 packages each, and the government paid $80,500 for the whole lot. During the past spring each member of Congress has received 40,000 packages of seeds, for which the government has paid $130,000. A DIPLOMATIC TRIUMPH. The Bimetallic Commission Secures the Aid of France. NEW YORK, July 8.—A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: "The three special envoys empowered by the United States to negotiate with European powers for a settlement of the silver question on international lines will have two embassies behind them in place of one. They produced so good an impression upon the French government during their stay in Paris that the French Embassy in London has been instructed to co-operate with the American Embassy in such con- yray toward the United States on the part of the Japanese naval officers, and an overt act on their part might precipitate a great deal of trouble. During the past ten days the navy department has made special preparations of a quiet sort for mobilization of our naval forces on the Pacific, should the turn of diplomacy make such action necessary. At the present time the United States is not so strong in the Pacific as Japan. If the Nicaragua canal were open, the advantage would all be on our side in case of trouble. SEATTLE, Wash., July 10.—The Japanese press is grinding out fierce editorials on the pending annexation treaty with Hawaii, and if these bellicose paragraphs represent the national spirit, the war spirit is certainly rampant among the Japanese. A number of late papers have just arrived here from Japan by the steamer Matsuyama Maru. They devote columns to consideration of the annexation question, and the tenor of the majority favor resistance to the proposed action of the United States. Thousands Celebrate With thankfulness their restoration to health by using Hood's Sarsaparilla. Think of the vast army who have been cured by this medicine—Men, women and children, who have suffered the consequences of impure blood, who have been the victims of scrofula sores, eruptions, dyspepsia, nervousness, sleeplessness. They have tried other medicines and have failed to obtain relief. They tried Hood's Sarsaparilla and it did them good. They persevered in its use and it accomplished permanent cures. Do you wonder that they praise it and recommend it to you. State Controller Colgan has reported to the superintendent of public instruction the amount of money available for apportionment among the common schools of the State. The State treasurer holds in trust for the common school state funded debt bonds of 1873 to the amount of $1,526,500, and bonds of the several counties of the State to the amount of $2,364,800, a total of $3,-891,300. The amount of money subject to apportionment is $1,039,273 22. The amount unapportioned January 6th last was $1,904,883 84, making a total apportionment of $2,945,157 06 from the receipts of the forty-eighth fiscal year. The total number of census children is 330,709; amount per child, $3.14; amount apportioned, $1,038,426 26; amount unappropriated, $846 96.

The fact that diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States strained may be responsible for sudden orders received by Captain Kerofi battleship Oregon who ceived orders at Seattle from the Department to prepare the battles immediately for sea. Captain Bertha had just returned from Portland he was expected he would remain at Sea for several days. However, she was given for his ship to make her for sea, and she left on Friday for Angeles, where he will take oots of coal.

He had almost complete seventy-ninth year, and he first became a member of Congress in 1849. He was three times in succession before the war, beginning in 1857, e Governor of his State, and was seized in that capacity when the war out. He took a pronounced stand against the southern confederacy, and known as one of the southern war enemies. In 1877 he was elected Senate, and has remained a mere ever since.

A Stuttgart dispatch brings news of a destructive hailstorm which raged for hours in Southern Wurtemburg, causing death to thirteen persons and damage to crops amounting to more than four million marks. Such a meteorological phenomenon in the hottest month of the year had never before been experienced in that part of the Fatherland. Before the storm the weather was sultry. Gradually the clouds began to darken, and within a few minutes the sudden darkness was followed by rushing torrents of rain, which almost submerged the villages. The rainfall was followed by a terrific hailstorm, some hailstones being of almost incredible size. Thousands of head of cattle were killed. Thirteen persons were killed outright and many were fatally injured. Mrs. W. Russell Ward, wife of the Englishman arrested in San Francisco for eloping with the wife of John Bradbury, the Los Angeles millionaire, was met on the steamship on Wednesday last before she landed at Liverpool. She apparently was overcome when she learned of the scandal, but she declined to make a statement until she had seen Ward's mother. She begged to see the dispatch giving the details of the latest developments in the affair, and when she had read it she almost broke down, but bravely pulled herself together and said that her side of the story will be heard in good time. Then she left the ship. On arriving at Euston Station, London, she again eagerly asked if any additional news was received, and she seemed greatly disappointed that no new information had been received during the few hours between Liverpool and London. She wore a fawn-colored costume and was accompanied by a child. Rarely has there been a greater sensation in the crowded quarter in Paris than one morning recently, when four The announcement of the marriage of Miss Lou Dingley, daughter of Jere Dingley of Auburn, N.Y., and niece of Congressman Nelson Dingley, to W. E. Hadley of San Diego, Cal., at the Parker House in Boston last Thursday occasioned much surprise at her home. Miss Dingley is 30. It had been understood that she was to marry Arthur S. Melcher of Auburn. Arrangements had gone so far that Melcher had his home entirely renovated. Several weeks ago Hadley went East. Miss Dingley had met him six years ago when he was stopping at Poland Springs and when he visited Rickerhill this summer the acquaintance was renewed. It ripened into a determination to wed. Miss Dingley's departure from Boston without apparent cause aroused the suspicion of her parents and of Mr. Melcher, for the afternoon of the day she went away her mother and Melcher left for Boston but returned several days after without her. Melcher admits that Miss Dingley had been engaged to marry him for some time. By the decisive vote of 38 to 28, the Tariff bill was passed in the Senate shortly before 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon; culmination of the long and adduous struggle had excited the keenest interest, and the floor and galleries of the Senate chamber were crowded with those anxious to witness the closing scene. Speaker Reed, Chairman Dingley and many of the members of the House of Representatives were in the rear area, while every seat in the galleries save those reserved for foreign representatives, was occupied. The main interest centered in the final vote, and aside from this there was little of a dramatic character in the debate. The early part of the day was spent on amendments of comparatively minor importance, the debate branching into financial and anti-trust channels. By 4 o'clock the Senators began to manifest their impatience by calls for "vote," "vote," and thereafter the last amendment was disposed of and the final vote began. There were many interruptions as pairs The main content of the newspaper is about a criminal case involving a man named Welch of Canyon Creek, who was charged with killing 10 head of sheep belonging to Mrs. Welch of Canyon Creek, about 20 miles from Canyon City, Or. He was wearing masks and was sent to camp and covering the herder and tender with rifles, ordered them to give up, which they did at once. The rifles of the camm tender, after shooting the loads out of the herder's gun, handed it back. They exempted their guns into the herd sheep, which was camped for the rest. Sheep owners are expecting us trouble. A gang of laborers were excavated on the line of the street railway Lexington, Ky., the other day struck what appeared to be a piece of metal, but it proved to be a 64-pound mine cartridge. An explosion followed, and five of six negros were blown up. The other was so badly injured that he cannot recover. The police declined to the belief that it was there by some one who had a fire against the street car company, but it also thought a cartridge was there by workmen excavating nearby years ago. Petty Grace Stevenson, aged 25, left home in Brookline, Mass., on 26th to go on a short errand and return. Search throughout city and vicinity high and low, examination of the steamship lists and indexes directed to all points reached railroads from Boston have failed to turn the slightest inkling of her seabours. She was the daughter of Jess Stevenson, a millionaire real estate operator and owner, and lived another mother in Brookline. Custims of a morbid curiosity will be given an opportunity of indulging their passion by seeing Theodore Grant through the medium of theatoscope. A special order from prison directors was obtained and Grant's father and an animatoscopeator presented themselves at San Antonio. Durrant had rehearsed his play in the morning's drama and the affair was over in a short time. Grant's object in having these pictures is understood to be to make sure sufficient to defray the expenses for now pending before the same court of the United States. Samuel Cobb, a pioneer of 1849 and a tenant of Santa Clara county for over years, met his brother John Cobb, whom Jose last week after a separation twenty-four years. The brothers died in England in 1833, Samuel returned to America. He settled Ohio, and at the discovery of gold used for California across the plains, wagon train he was with came by southern route, and he is the sole owner of that party of immigrants. Cobb subsequently followed his friend to America and settled in Ohio. Two men had not met since separating in England until last week, John Cobb arrived from Ohio on the Christian Endeavor excursions. The fact that diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States are needed may be responsible for the orders received by Captain Barry of the battleship Oregon who read orders at Seattle from the War department to prepare the battleship. I have been working for two weeks as a copyist in his office. Harris has been insanely jealous of him, and also of every one else with whom I ever associated. We have lived apart much of our married life on account of this in-the-closing scene. Speaker Reed, Chairman Dingley, and many of the members of the House of Representatives were in the rear area, while every seat in the galleries, save those reserved for foreign representatives, was occupied. The main interest centered in the final vote, and aside from this there was little of a dramatic character in the debate. The early part of the day was spent on amendments of comparatively minor importance, the debate branching into financial and anti-trust channels. By 4 o'clock the Senators began to manifest their impatience by calls for "vote," "vote," and thereafter the last amendment was disposed of and the final vote began. There were many interruptions as pairs were arranged, and then at 4:55 o'clock the Vice President arose and announced the passage of the bill by years, 38; nays, 28. There was no demonstration, but a few scattered hand-claps were given as the crowds dispersed. A. G. Stacey of Topeka, Kan., a well-known newspaper man, arrived in San Francisco looking for his wife, whom he married two years ago and who, as he expected, was among the Christian Endeavor delegates from the Sunflower State, against his will. He arrived ahead of the Kansas delegation, and took up his station at the ferry landing to watch for his wife. Not finding her among the Kansas contingent, he went sight-seeing at the Cliff House. After watching the seals dislodge themselves for some time he decided to take a swim at Sutro baths. Great was his surprise when upon plunging into one of the big tanks he literally swam into his wife's arms. Mrs. Stacey was enjoying a swim with another man and when Stacey announced his relationship to the lady, her companion fled with great haste. Stacey conducted his wife and their daughter to the entrance of the bath where they met a number of Kansas lady delegates to the convention who took Mrs. Stacey with them. Despite Stacey's search through the city since then he has been unable to locate his wife. In dealing with the account rendered by Felipe Yorba, guardian of Thomas Yorba, an incompetent, Judge Clark of the Los Angeles Superior court cut and slashed with such a liberal hand as to make a difference in the total of several thousand dollars. The Judge ordered that the claim of G. C. Peralta of $1549 21 for board furnished to the incompetent be not allowed; that seven items for "board" aggregating $795 be denied, the guardian to credit himself with $240 only on account of board for his ward. The thirteen items for "clothing," and aggregating $918 75, are also disallowed. No account having been kept by the guardian and no vouchers produced, it is impossible for the court to say what sums were expended for clothing. The thirteen items for traveling expenses, aggregating $421 60, are also disallowed altogether, the guardian having kept no account and presented no vouchers. The amount said to have been paid for taxes is cut by $249 28, this amount having been paid on account of delinquent taxes and costs, incurred by reason of the negligence of the guardian. The court goes on to say: "It is further ordered that the said guardian be allowed nothing on account of compensation for his services as guardian, it appearing to the court that said guardian rendered to the court no account or report of his trust for a period of thirteen years; has kept no account of his receipts and disbursements as guardian, and has been guilty of gross negligence in the management of his ward's estate, and has made a false return to this court of his receipts as such guardian." The fact that diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States are needed may be responsible for the men orders received by Captain Barry of the battleship Oregon who re-orded orders at Seattle from the War Department to prepare the battleship radiately for sea. Captain Barker must returned from Portland and it expected he would remain at Seattle several days. However, the order given for his ship to make ready sea, and she left on Friday for Portales, where he will take on 400 of coal. When asked the direct question if he was going to Honolulu, said: "You cannot get a Honolulu out of me. We sail to-day. That's know." Senator Isham G. Harris of Tennesseed at his residence in Washington Thursday night. The Senator had grown constantly weaker for several days, the intense summer heat prevailed greatly debilitating and no doubt hastening his end. Nobly no man in public life has identified with more of the history of this country than had Senator Harris. He had almost completed his ninth year, and he first became member of Congress in 1849. Harris three times in succession before war, beginning in 1857, elected governor of his State, and was serving at capacity when the war broke. He took a pronounced stand for southern confederacy, and was named one of the southern war governors. In 1877 he was elected to the state, and has remained a member since. Over 1,000 Cheyenne and Arapahoeans have been holding a grand civil and dance at Darlington, Ok. T., banding that the recent anti-bigamy be not enforced against them. Their sessions are in secret. They use to obey the orders of the agent, there is fear of serious trouble. Barnes of Oklahoma received a communication from the chiefs demand that he come or send messengers to a council with them in order that might be given the privilege of being their plural wives and their numerous children. They say they not choose which wife they like best; like them all, and do not want to with any—or with the annuities each wife and child draws. An report is to the effect that among Indians of the Territory a move-Park and saw his wife sitting on Merritt's lap. He could stand it no longer, and rushing up to Merritt, fired in his face. Merritt got up and ran toward the lower end of the park. Harris followed, shooting as he ran. He finally struck him in a fatal place and he fell. Mrs. Harris was arrested at the home of a friend and taken to the station-house. She was not told that her lover was dead, but was informed that he had been slightly wounded. She said: "I have known Merritt a long time. I have been working for two weeks as a copyist in his office. Harris has been insanely jealous of him, and also of every one else with whom I ever associated. We have lived apart much of our married life on account of this insane jealousy. This evening when I got through work I told Merritt that I was going to the house of Mrs. Howard at Jackson. He said he would go with me. As we were going through the park we met Harris. Without saying a word Harris drew a revolver and began firing." Peter Derrenbecker, the convict in San Quentin prison who through his attorney petitioned the Superior Court of Marin County for a writ of habeas corpus, will have to serve his time. Judge Angellotti of Marin so decreed and the prisoner has been taken back to the penitentiary. The case is an interesting one, but it took less than a half hour to dispose of it. Derrenbecker was convicted by a jury in Judge W. L. Pierce's court of San Diego of "an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder," and received a sentence of fourteen years. Under the law a man convicted of assault with a deadly weapon can be imprisoned for two years only, and Derrenbecker's attorney contended that there was no such crime under the statutes as "assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder;" that the prisoner was guilty of assault only, and that he could not be imprisoned for longer than two years. Derrenbecker has been confined in San Quentin prison since August, 1890, and the contention was that he had served the two years and more. Judge Angellotti held that the offense committed as set forth was more than a mere assault with a deadly weapon and that the writ would have to be discharged and the prisoner remanded to the State prison. Derrenbecker made quite a record for himself when he was taken into custody by Warden Hale at San Diego. While the Warden had him in charge and she train was proceeding at a rapid rate Derrenbecker made a leap through the window of the car. He was handcuffed and it was thought he had leaped to his death. The Warden got off the train at the next station and started to walk back in search of the man. As he was proceeding along the track helmet Derrenbecker coming along, uninjured, and placed him under arrest. vouchers. The amount said to have been paid for taxes is cut by $249 28, this amount having been paid on account of delinquent taxes and costs, incurred by reason of the negligence of the guardian. The court goes on to say: "It is further ordered that the said guardian be allowed nothing on account of compensation for his services as guardian, it appearing to the court that said guardian rendered to the court no account or report of his trust for a period of thirteen years; has kept no account of his receipts and disbursements as guardian, and has been guilty of gross negligence in the management of his ward's estate, and has made a false return to this court of his receipts as such guardian. "It is further ordered that said guardian charge himself with the sum of $9150, rent collected, instead of $5,587, as reported in the account. It is also ordered that the guardian charge himself with a balance of $6853 93, instead of $1287 30, as contained in the said account." Eugene, Or., was the scene of the romantic wedding of two people who had never seen each other before the arrival of the overland train, one afternoon last week. The lovers were Miss Enoree Jay, a comely brunette of 23, of Augusta, Ga., and P. N. Shelly, a middle aged farmer of Pleasant Hill, Or., a man with a good name, a large farm and a healthy bank account." Miss Jay, from her Southern home, answered an advertisement of Shelly's, who was in search of a wife. The correspondence appeared to have been mutually satisfactory and the two fell desperately in love with each other by mail. They exchanged confidence and were frank enough to mix up sufficient common sense with their epistolary spooning to suggest a mutual exchange of references as to character, etc. This was done to the satisfaction of each and was followed by a formal proposal of marriage and acceptance Shelly sent Miss Jay money to pay her way to Oregon, and early last week she left the Cracker district and started across the continent to meet her future husband. She arrived on time, having kept Shelly posted by wire of her movements. Shelly had made no secret of his love affairs, and a large crowd gathered at the depot to greet her. The meeting was "love at first sight," and they kissed as if they had known each other all their lives. Carriages in waiting took the couple and Shelly's friends to a minister, where they were at once wedded, after which Mr. and Mrs. Shelly were entertained by the many friends of the groom. In the evening the happy couple drove off to Shelly's farm, where Mrs. Shelly is now duly installed as mistress of all she surveys. The young woman is well known in Augusta, has an excellent reputation and hosts of friends who saw her off to Oregon.
