STAR MILLS AND MALT HOUSE

STAR MILLS AND MALT HOUSE.
Neubourg & Lagos mills of the Gods -
and What They Grind.
One of the best-known manufacturing
institutions on the Pacific coast is that of
Neubourg & Lagos, located on Fifth street,
between J and X, Sacramento This firm
has, by its enterprise and fair dealing. es-
tablished throughout California and the
adjoining States and Territories d reputa
ton second to none other engaged in its
line of business. The large mill and store
rooms of Messrs. Neubourg d Lagos are
pressed to their fullest capacity in order to
meet the constantly-growing demands of
their customers. This mill is supplied with
all the best improved modern machinery
and appliances, which enables the firm to
maintain its place in competition with
other well established institutions of SINH
lar kind. Messrs. Neubourg & Lagos en-
JOY great advantage over many other mill
ing firms in the State. They are located in
a city that is the natural trade and trans
portation center of middle and northern
California. Their customers can not only
rely upon getting the best goods from them,
but also effect a great saving in freight
charges. One particular branch of this
firms business is that of supplying brew
cries with malt. In this line they have had
long experience, and challenge competition
with any other house in the State This
one differs somewhat from the general run
of milling institutions. 1t does not manu-
facture white flour, but makes specialties of
brewers goods-malt, hops, etc.-oat meal,
cracked wheat, rye -four, graham -four, all
kinds of meal, etc. Situated as this mill
is, in the midst of the grain and hop-grow-
ing section of the State-with cheap trans
portation to and from its very doors-it is
able to offer better terms to customers than
any other on the coast. 1t is one of the
solid institutions of Sacramento, and is in
the hands of experienced gentlemen, who
understand their business in all its branch
es, and who aim to keep up with the march
of enterprise and improvement.

renowned bull-fgh.er in the republic. and
imported from the City of Mexico for the
purpose. During the performance he dis
played much skill and daring, and won
much applause.
THE BULL FIGHT.
At signal the first bull was admitted
and as he entered a small dart, covered
with ribbon, was stuck into his back.
Smarting with pain, his anger was in
creased by his enemies, who, Haunting in
his face cloths of bright colors, sought to
enrage and exasperate him. His atten-
ton was first directed to two fighters on
horseback, one of whom he succeeded in
dismounting, after receiving in his shoulder
wound from the spear of the horseman.
The horses shoulder, where the bull most
frequently struck, was protected by a
leathern apron. Occasionally the bull
would chase his tormenters, who, when
closely pursued, would seek shelter behind
protecting fences built about two feet from
the inside wall of the arena. No attempt
was made to kill the bull, but only to tor
ture him by thrusting into his shoulders
iron darts, which were neatly ornamented
with cut paper in fancy designs One of
these was held in each hand by one of the
fighters, and as the bull rushed at him he
would meet him boldly face to face, and
reaching over his horns stick dart into
each shoulder, and then spring quickly
aside. After the animals hide had been
pierced with about dozen of these (which
were left sticking in HIM, he was driven
out to make room for another
During the contest two horses were
killed, and two horsemen and lady (?)
bullfighter narrowly escaped with their
lives. The animal that was thus successful
was loudly cheered, and honored by being
scientifically killed with sword in the
hands of Senior Polanco, after a display of
nerve and skill that were really remark
able. The death of the bull was so quick
that there was no cruelty, but the torture
inflicted by the darts spoken of was simply
outrageous and revolving The enthusiasm
of the large crowd knew no bounds when
the " Captain of the Arena slew the fero-
cious bull, and he was rewarded by having
dozens of sombreros thrown at him. in the

rest of the successful business men that
California has produced, Mr.. Comstock
commenced business with a small begin

capital was amply supplied by bis posses
sion of thorough knowledge of his trade
and practical business training. These
latter qualities have laid the foundation to
more success in life than has ever been
gained by having abundance of means to
start in life with. For years this establish
ment has advanced its business interests,
and to-day the house enjoys a reputation,
at home and abroad, such as can only be
earned by honest and honorable dealings
with our fellow man. Mr. Comstock' S
salesroom, corner of Fifth and X, is 40 v
120 feet. This floor and the basement,
which is the same size, is filled with all the
different kinds of furniture to be found in

THE MErRopoL1rAN GAMBLER.

The denunciatory decision by United
States District Judge Deadly, in the Sharon
Hill case. has been the topic of discussion
during the past few days. 1t was, indeed
surprise to all. Sarah Althea and her
lawyers are now out and injured, unless
they appeal to the United States Supreme
Court, which is extremely doubtful be-
cause Sarah's attorneys have already sui
ficiently bankrupted themselves in purse
and reputation to proceed further with the
matter. There is a grave doubt in the
minds of many unprecedented persons as to
whether justice has been done this
wretched woman. But the secret of the
true inwardness of the case reposes IN the
grave, and presume that the last has been
heard of the most scandalous and disgrace
full lawsuit of the current century. Many
ask. What will now become of Miss Hill,
or Mrs. Sharon? Why, she will go East
and to Europe on lecturing tours, enlisting
the sympathies OF thousands, captivated by
her pleasing personal and plausible tale,
and make mint of money. She is most
clever woman-an assertion proven by the
manner in which she conducted her suit
and will never want for the Injuries of
life. l opine that she will soon vanish
from the stage upon which she has been
so prominent and unenviable a figure dur
ing the past two years, and never be seen
again in these parts.

Any country that has reasonably cheap
land. abundant streams of pure water, for
ests to yield lumber for building and fuel
for fires, and cheap and rapid Transports
ton, can have all the population it wants
by making these advantages known to the
world. As proof of this, the instances OF
the rapid increase of population in some
States and Territories will be sufficient.
Kansas was thoroughly advertised by the
struggle for its possession by the North and
South. 1t was fully known in every part
of the Union. As result of that wholesale
advertising, the population increased be-
tween 1860 and 1870 from 107. 206 to 1854,
1893, or 240 per cent. In 1880 it had in
creased to 100000 people. In twenty
years 100000 people were added to the
population of that one State.
