heavens which are 30 dim as to be to-

producing the change in it necessary to

claimed for them that they will photo
graph the eruption Of scarlet fever
some time before il is visible to the

recognized earlier than formerly.

ACCORDING to a Russian paper, the

binstein is about to get married, and
her papa, Anton Rubinstein, is now
busy collecting new treasures for the
dowry Of his dear daughter. The
other day he presented the charming
fancee with box of solid oak con-
tanning 1000 small leaves of parch-
ment. The young lady received the
gift with look Of surprise, and the
musician went on to say: Preserve
this box with great care; it's value
amounts to 10000 forms. There are
many people I know who would cheer

A BUFFALO milkman wears nickel
5-cent piece as Q watch charm, and
gives this reason: @Over year ago 1
took this nickel, which was then beau
tifully gold-plated, as a SIS gold piece,
in payment of q bill. As soon as 1 de-
tected the fraud I took it back to the
woman who passed it on me. but she
refused to make it good. So I fastened
it to my watch chain and kept on sup
plying her with milk. But now every
day I make her quart fourth water,
and once week I credit her with one
fourth the amount of her milk bill.
When the sum total standing to her
credit is IS she shall have pure milk
once more, and not until then. She
knows the milk is watered, but when
ever she shows an inclination to COM
plain I handle the nickel and say that
my milk is as pure as gold That
settles IT.

SAFFORD,S MURDERER.
Justice Observation-Disclosures by Ruffian
in Arkansas.

JUstlC6 Observation-Disclosures Dy HUMANS
in Arkansas.
J. B. Stanton, Deputy Sheriff of Colusa
county, and Pallas Love, of the same
county, returned yesterday from trip to
Arkansas, where they identified and tried
to bring back to California Sim yelling,
the murderer of l. V. H. Stafford.
1t will be remembered that several
months ago Mr.. Stafford. who was clerk
in the Secretary of States office during the
administration of Secretary Beck, was muir
dered in cold blood at his house in the
foothills back of Willows. Mr.. Safford's
sister was on visit to her brother, and
they were sitting in the house engaged IN
conversation, when Sim Yelling man
who was working on the ranch for Mr..
Stafford entered and shot him dead The
assassin made his escape, and for long
time no clue was obtained as to his where
abouts.
A short time ago information was re-
ceiyed from a detective in Arkansas that
yelling was at work at q place in the
mountain district of that State. Armed
with requisition from the Governor of
California Stanton proceeded to Arkansas
and found the man. He answered the
description perfectly and Stanton thought
he recognized him, but Welling's voice had
changed and he was in doubt. He there
foIe sent for Pallss Love and J. E. Putnam,
two citizens of Colusa county who knew
Yelling. They proceeded to Arkansas
and Mr.. Love positively identified the man
as the murderer of Mr.. Stafford Mr.. Put
nam was somewhat puzzled by the altered
voice, though he felt almost certain that
the man was Yelling, though he was hid
ing under the name of Taylor
The Governor of Missouri signed the
extradition papers and the fun commenced.
Our Colusa county friends found them
selves in the midst of the tough
est set of people they ever en-
countered. AS soon as they arrived
they were deprived of their weapons. while
the citizens of the place went around the
streets with rifles, swearing that yelling
should not be taken away. 1t did not ap-
pear that he had been there long or that he
was well known citizen, but the inhabi :
ants seemed to have a general hatred of
anything that looked like the enforcement
of law, and resented the presence of
strange officer accordingly. A writ of
habeas corpus was issued, and yelling was
discharged. While Stanton was looking
for another man whom he knew could
positively identify yelling, the murderer
made his escape and the Deputy Sheriff
was compelled to return to California with
out his man. He and Mr.. Love returned
to their homes in Colusa county yesterday.
MIR. Putnam is still in the East.

Matte Lemer Disappears.

Matte Lemer's life is at present full of
trouble. A few days since she was mar
ried to J. w. King, and since that time her
mother has sworn out complaint charg-
ing King with bigamy, and he has disap-
peared. Mrs. Lemer lives on Fifth street.
between n and o. Yesterday young
lady from Yolo passed there, heard Matte
screaming and reported the matter to the
Chief of Police. Soon afterwards Mrs. c..
L. Orth, of Ills H street, came to the sta
tion-house with Matte and asked Chief
Dillman to protect her from the beatings of
her mother. The Chief did not wish to
lock her up, and requested Mrs. Orth to
take the girl to her house and keep her
until something could be done in the case.
The girl cried bitterly and Said that she
would not go home. as her mother would
beat her again. She also stated that King
had been counting her mother before he
made love to her. Her clothing was badly
torn and soiled. She went home with
Mrs. Orth.
Mrs. Lemer subsequently visited the
station-house and asked the Chief to have
the girl sent home, promising that she
would not abuse the child. Upon this, the
Chief sent officer Frazee to take the girl
home. The officer went to Mrs. Orths and
found that the girl had left there at 3
o'clock, and had not been there since.
Mrs. Lemer was at the station house
again at 10 o'clock last night, asking where
her daughter was, and was informed that
officers were hunting for her. She claimed
that she had done nothing to her daughter
except to detain her at the house to pre-
vent her meeting her husband, q note hav-
ing been sent to her by him during the
morning. She denied having beaten the
girl at all, and said she only wanted to
keep her away from King. 1t looks as
though the girl had outwitted her mother
and joined her husband, who has for the
past two days eluded the Constable who
has the warrant for his arrest.

It's a surprise to most peo-
pie how we can sell large
Plate-glass Wall Mirrors, in
handsome polished wood
frames, for from so cents to
So. The glass alone is worth
more than the price.
1t happens in this wise !:
The glass is cut from rem
nants of large mirrors, broken
or partly damaged in making.
While these pieces are of little
value to manufacturers, and
are sold for a song, they are as
perfect and desirable for these
smaller mirrors as any glass
in the world.
The frames are of hard
wood, plain but highly pol
ished.

Sibyl Sanderson.

w. R. Ormsby is in receipt from Paris
of cablegram stating that Miss Sibyl
Sanderson-in whom Sacramentans take
an especial interest because this is
the city of her nativity-was entirely re-
covered from her recent attack of scarla-
tina, and that the Geographic accounts of
her being Ill from smallpox were without
foundation. She sang in opera at Amster-
dam to much larger audience than in
The Hague simply because the opera house
was larger, and the succeeding night at
concert to an audience of 100 people.
The audiences at both The Hague and AM
sterdam were wildly enthusiastic, the men
standing up and cheering, and upon the re-
turn from Amsterdam to The Hague at the
performance of February 18th, there was
not standing-room in the house, and the
enthusiasm was like one of the brilliant
Patti nights before San Francisco audi
ence. She was called out before the cur
tain after each act time and again, and one
song she was compelled to repeat twice and
positively refused the third. People were
in tears at the pathetic death-scene of
Manon and it was declared to be a SUI
perb piece of acting. She and Masseret
were serenaded while at dinner given by
the French ambassador, at which were the
Kings Secretary. Ministers and other nota-
bles, and it was the wish of all that she
might soon return to again sing to them.
Miss Sanderson's next appearance will
most likely be in Paris at an early date.

Easter and other Millinery.

What shall we say of the
advantages which we offer in
this direction to buyers ? OF
the variety, extent and high
character of our millinery
stock ? Of the scrupulous care
with which we have sought to
gather here everything new,
and everything desirable in
the markets both at home and
abroad ? And particularly of
the generous way in which
Dame Fashion has provided
SO many rarely new styles and
conceits for this early season
of 1888?
The fact is, we have never
had SO many uniformly at
tractive lines of goods as at
present, and as our trade is
very much larger than any
other trade hereabouts, it is
reasonable TO SUPPOSE that the
advantages presented are cor
resbonasmgT greater.
There is no reason why the
trade in millinery, which has
increased SO steadily Of late,
should not increase even more
during the present season.
And a0e are determined that
1t shall, If tie BEST goods,
the LOWEST brlces and
Just and liberal 70ays of deal
ing are inducements for beo-
Pile TO 6ny at our stores.
