An Exhibition Of California Products.
California has sent east a car load OF her
products admirably arranged for exhibition
purposes, an attractive and effective method Of
advertising her capabilities and resources The

of polished redwood extending from the floor
to far above the Windows. Overhead photo
graphs form a ceiling of attractive interest.
Views from the Yosemite Valley, Shasta, and
various portions of the State are here arrang-
ed. Luscious appearing oranges fresh apples,
ounces. olives, pears, and punches of tobacco
hang gracefully from racks on the walls and
ceiling, representing California regardless OF
sections. \ feature is the preserved fruit.
Pears, peaches, plums. grapes, cherries. pre-
served whole, and shown in high glass Jars
look tempting enough to WOO away any horti-
culturist of Il less favored cline. Great stalks
of wheat, with heads large enough for clubs
their golden color contrasting prettily with the
surroundings, are used as decorations.
One shelf contains 800 oval Jars of California
cereals-oats, barley, wheat, rye, etc. Beside
them are jars of over a dozen varieties of nuts.
| including chestnuts, English wanuts, soft and
hard shell almonds, hazel nuts, and Brazil nuts

thing was denied; but the aspect dr.
things showed that something was up.
Business was neglected and all the male
population of the neighborhood were on
a hunting expedition. The facts as as
certained by the sheriff yesterday
are that the lady was awak-
ened Wednesday night and found
Henry Davis in her room near the bed,
with his hand upon her. She screamed,
which served to brighten him away
Sheriff Ford learned to-day that the ne
gro had been captured, and at once Or
ganiZed posse to go out and remove
him to jail before the justice of Judge
Lynch had been given him, as it was
known that the people of the Robinson
neighborhood were determined in their
actions, and as the attempted crime was
yet fresh in their minds, they might be
led to carry out justice them
selves. The sheriff found every
one at his work and no one
seemed to be cognizant of the capture of
Davis and no one has been found who
says he saw the dead man. The impress
sion is that Davis was found and is now
