The engravers at the Capitol are finishing
up the cuts for the Second Reader of the
State series, and will sson begin work on
the engrayings for the geography.
The number of visitors to the dome of
the Capitol was never so large as during
the past three months. Being in the heart
of the city, the view from this elevation
over 200 feet, is magnificent one, and
well repays the observer for his climb I'D
the spiral stairway. The city lies spread
out beneath him, the river can be traced
for miles with the naked eye, and with the
aid OF field glasses surrounding towns and
villages are to be seen, and the Sacramento
valley, between the coast and Sierra Nevada
ranges, from Mount Shasta on the north to
the northern boundary of the San Joaquin
on the south, are brought within his vision.
Here one sees spread out before him, with
all the attractiveness of a panorama, a
country N extent larger than nearly the
whole Of New England, whose resources
are more varied, crops more abundant and
valuable, than any area of like extent in
the world; a beautiful city, the Capital of
the proudest State in the Union, inhabited
by $4,000 people, who, by their thrift, in
dustry and enterprise, have built up what
has been appropriately termed " a city of

Democratic Meeting.

The candidates on the Democratic county
ticket held meeting in Armory Hall on
Saturday night, which was presided over
by F. J. Clark. The speakers of the even
ing were James G. Davis, Chesterfield
Wells, Professor Willis and J. T. Carey.
The latter denied that he had ever given a
written opinion to the Board of Superyi-
sors, in which he held that the county
funds could not be used to enjoin hydraulic
mining when county property was being
destroyed by the latter industry. The case
referred 10 was one in which county prop
erty was not involved, and he held county
funds could not be used to assist in per-
sonal lawsuit wherein the county had no
interest. He said if he was elected to the
Senate he should endeavor to exempt $500
from every mans assessment, which would
practically exempt from taxation the ma
jority Of the laboring classes He prom
ised, if elected, to do all in his power to put
the National Guard upon the best footing
possible

Feather Pillows.

We are frequently asked, " Do you keep pillows ?"
We able for the first time to in the af
flrmatve WE DO
Few housewives ever stop to think what their
feather pillows contain. They buy them for hrstclass
goods, pay hrsclass prices and therefore rest
But it is fact that probably tenhs of the feath
sold to-day home enred and of necessity
and do contain the quilts more or less offensive
meat, skin and grease The coarse feathers of the
bird are also used in the filling of the average pillow
being chopped fine so as to deceive the touch for who
is going to open pillow to what it contains
Fortunately there exists patent process that cleans
feathers perfectly that every particle of
and OIL and leaves the feather unbroken light and eeau
By this method large percentage of the fine down is
retained and not lost in the common ways of curing
The result is that pillows made from such feathers
unusually soft and fluffy and will not mat down.
We propose that all the feathers sell shall be
treated to this process believing that will for
homecued feathers when such superior article be

A Mammoth Eryer.

The Woodland Mail says that Glenn &
White have just completed raisin dryer
of 100 tons capacity for the famous Briggs
vineyard near Woodland. This is the
largest raisin or fruit dryer on earth. 1t is
substantial frame structure two stories
high and 46x136 feet upon the ground
built according to plans tested by Byron
Jackson, and the design of it was made by
him. He also, We believe, put in its
engine, piping and machinery. The fruit
is placed on trays, which are loaded on
cars which run on track extending into
the long hot air chambers. By means OF
an immense blower, operated by steam, q
young African sirocco is kept passing ovel
the grapes for seven or eight days. At the
end of this period the cars are drawn out
and the raisins are ready for the processes
preliminary to packing. The heating Of
the air is effected by steam. This dryer
will hold SO cars or trucks, and as we said
cure 100 tons of grapes per week. 1t is
now in operation and is declared to be g
grand success.

Violently Insane.

D. H. Murdoch, a carriage-painter by
occupation, was arrested by officers Rider
and Ferral at an early hour yesterday
morning for insanity. they having found
him in the vicinity of Tenth and streets,
rushing through the streets with shouts OF
" Fire p 1t was with difficulty he was Sc
cured, as he fought desperately and had to
be handcuffed. Yesterday he was raving
almost constantly in his cell at the station
h. .se. On one occasion he called for
water. Officer Farren gave him large
tin cup, with a capacity of over a quart, to
drink from. He took it quietly quenched
his thirst, remarking, know what | am
doing now, and inquired of the officer,
Were you ever baptized?' ' Before Far
rem could reply the remaining water was
thrown in his face, and the lunatic followed
it with heavy blow with the cup, but the
officer warded it of, caught hold of the
cup and, with the assistance of a trusty,
the prisoner was put back in his cell Far
rem received bad cut on the cord between
the thumb and fore finger of the left hand

Wherever they have appeared it is said
they have received high praise. The Vic

performance: e 1t was throughout so Won

praise when we say that the troupe is one

The Victoria Standard of the same date
says The various feats of daring and
sleight-of-hand produced thunders of APP

the numbers of the programme with warm

Citrus Fair Matters.

Reference was made in these columns
last week Of the proposed transfer of the
citrus fair, which is to open here on De-
cember 18th, to Chicago for exhibition in
that city. Dr. Latham, Secretary of the
association, and others, have received
numerous communications upon the sub
ject, and they are uniformly in favor of the
Eastern exhibit Especially are those en-
gagged in getting up excursion parties at the
East TO come to Central and northern Cali
fornia interested in the matter and favora-
bic.
P. A. Eustis, General Passenger and
Ticket Agent of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad, writes DR.. Latham !:
a." Having in mind our conversation of Satur-
day, | desire to express to you my strong
conviction that an exhibition at Chicago of
the products of Central California to which
you referred would result in great benefit
to the State. This plan is by no means
new, as 1t has been followed in years past
by large railroads interested in Kansas and
Nebraska, and with most excellent results.
| do not know of any one move which will
result in so great good for so moderate an
expense as the Chicago exhibition you
spoke of. Should your people decide to do
this, you can command our company for
any reasonable add
Referring to this subject, W. II. Mills, in
letter to DR.. Latham, makes the practical
point that ''all presentation of evidences of
the desirableness of any country as a place
of residence should be made to those not
residents of that country, and to such as
are contemplating a change of residence.
The exhibition of the resources of coun-
try to its own citizens is not without value.
1t tends to make men intelligent concerning
those resources, and it is intelligence which
brings development to any country. But if
the object is to induce others to come and
live in your country, then the exhibition
designed to illustrate the resources of your
country should be made to the people
whom you desire to induce to change their
place of residence. think the ACCESSIBILITY
of making an exhibition at Chicago ought
to be justified by the plainest reasons"
AT $50 this afternoon, meeting will be
held at the Board of Trade rooms to con-
slider the subject of holding an adjourned
session of the Citrus Fair at Chicago

WANTED TO BE LOCKED UP.-Early last
evening Alice Williams and another wom-
an, who had been having a good time to-
gether Saturday and yesterday, appeared at
the station-house and asked to be locked
up, which request was complied with. The
Williams woman was quite drunk, but her
companion was sober enough to take care
of herself The former was taken to the
station-house about two weeks ago, on sus-
picion that she had swallowed poison. The
two women, while buggy riding Saturday,
were thrown from their vehicle, and Alice
injured her hip and side. She is subject to
fits, had two or three after being locked up,
and, while in one Of them, fell from the
bunk in which she was lying to the floor of
the cell, striking upon the side that was
hurt, and suffering great pain in conse-
Quence.
