BRIEF NOTES.

The Eureka Social Club gave an enter
tainment and social at their rooms, corner
of Fifth and streets, last evening.
The Gait Gazette says: The number of
acres of wheat to be sowed by farmers in
this valley will fall several hundred short
of last seasons acreage.
The BARRIERS early closing scheme has
fallen through. Three individuals refused
to comply with the requirements of the
combination and the whole thing has been
abandoned.
Thomas P. Ford, a printer and former
resident of this city, is one among the few
Democrats elected to the Legislature. He
was elected to the Assembly from the dis
trict composed of Lassen and Modoc coun-
ties.
The swimming baths, on X street, be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh. have been pur-
chased by Lee Stanley. His intention is to
tear out the tank and have the premises re-
modelled and fitted up for business pur-
poses.
Mitchell, the man at the station-house,
who had been suffering with delirium
tremens, is all right again. Night before
last he was given some medicine which
put him to sleep, and yesterday morning
he awoke with his reason restored.
Camelia Selmann, young Danish
woman, about 20 years of age, who for
merly resided in this city, has brought a
breach of promise suit against Charles
Simon, in the Superior Court of San Fran
cisco. She demands as a solace for her
unrequited love the sum of $4,000.
Yesterday in the Police Court, by agree
ment of counsel, the case of Thomas H.
Reynolds, charged with embezzling State
funds, while acting as deputy under Secre-
tary of State Burns, was continued without
date. The case of ex-Secretary of State
Burns, under similar charge, will be SINH
larly disposed of to-day.
The Board of Supervisors were yester-
day, in accordance with law, engaged in
canvassing the election returns Of the
county. The canvass was almost conf
pleted last evening, and is devoid of any
particular interest, owing to the fact that
the majorities OF the Republicans run up
in the hundreds, and no change can possibly
alter the result already announced.
The County Board of Supervisors yester-
day awarded the contract for doing the car
penter work on the bridge to be built near
the American River Bridge to Dean u
Bond, at $2S so per 200 feet, board meas
ure. J. C.. Pierson was authorized to do the
eXcavating for the bridge, the same to be
paid for out of the District Fund. Dean Il
Bond gave notice that the bridge at Yer
milya crossing, on the Costumes, and the
bridge at Richland are finished.
Yolo Redeemed.
\ gentleman called in this office last
evening. said he was a resident of Yolo
county, and said he would like to say some
thing about the election in that Democratic
stronghold He said: | am one of those
Republicans who have always voted in
Yolo, but until this year have always been
in a hopeless minority. Our people, how
ever, are getting to be enlightened some
what, thanks to the extra session, and we
have redeemed that old county, and for the
first time in her history has she gone Re
publican. We carried the Blaine Electors
through with a handsome majority and
elected every man on the ticket eX-
cept the Sheriff, Assemblyman and
Surveyor. Merritt, the Democratic
nominee, is said to be elected by two or
three votes, but when the fraudulent votes
cast at Madison are taken care of, as they
undoubtedly will be, Culver, his Republic
can opponent, will have majority. The
Democrats in the county are perfectly de-
moralzed. and their Sheriff, R. II. Beamer,
and their Surveyor, ]. E. r. O'Farrell,
were elected on their personal popularity.
The Democracy, as is their usual custom,
practiced the mud-slnging tactics, so
characteristic of their party, to their ut
most extent. They assaled every candi-
date on the Republican ticket personally,
vindictively. followed them into their
homes, theirpriyate and public records, all
OF which were distorted and maliciously
assailed. Particularly was this the case
with {. II. Garoutte, candidate Tor Superior
Judge. This, however, availed them moth
ing, and although the Republicans refused
to fight the devil with fire, still they got
away with the entire bakery. They are
willing to concede to the Democrats moth
ing except the Sheriff and Surveyor, and
those two gentlemen have the best wishes
of every Republican in the county. The
Republicans elect w. b. Parker joint SEN
atOr, G. II. Garoutte Superior Judge, i. s.
Sprague District Attorney; Ferdinand Shlei-
man, Clerk 4. J. Atchinson, Auditor and
Recorder; j. X. Smith, Treasurer; l.. b.
Isham. Public Administrator, and ". ".
Keller, Cornor We consider we have done
well and in the future Yolo county can be
count ed as a Republican county, and no
longer will they follow in the wake Of
Hearst, Greathouse, De!mas Larue and the
other eXtra-sessonistS.
