From Our Regular Correspondent

Washington. ID. G.. Sept. l6, 1889.
The President did not get off to Deer
Park until Saturday owing to important
matters demanding his attention here.
Before going he rendered the appoint
ment of Commissioner of Pensions to
Williams Warner of Missouri, ex-con-
gresham and x.commander-in-chi
Of the &. A. r. Mr.. Warner is here
but has not yet decided to accept the
position, and many of his friends
say that his acceptance is extremely
doubtful as he cannot afford TO give up
his present large income from his legal
practice for the salary of Commissioner
of Pensins $4,000 per annum. How
ever, great political pressure is being
brought TO bear upon him and he may
be made to see that it is his duty TO ac-
cept. am in position to state posi-
lively that whether Major Warner nc.
cepts or not the President has fully de-
cided that he will give the position to a
representative member of the G. A. X.
so that the veterans may rest assured
that their interests will be looked after.
Although several days old the resig-
nation of Commissioner Tanner is still
the all-absorping topic of conversation
here. All sorts of opinions are ex-
pressed. some of them pretty severe on
Secretary Noble. but the prevailing inn
preston is that Mr.. Tanner in tender
ing his resignation took the manifest
way of relieving the President of en-
barrassment. After all is said that can
be said with any degree of certainty
the letter of Mr.. Tanner transmitting
his resignation and that of of the Presi-
dent accepting the same presents the
matter in light that is creditable to
both of them. Here are the letters:

In mushroom culture will fresh COW pen manure
do as well as stable manure? Mushrooms do not
grow naturally in this locality. Will they grow
in beds described by S. Sanders Neck without
spawn? A. I. w.
Oakdale, Citrus County.
No. The only time COW manure is used
in mushroom culture is in making the
'spawn brick" We would advise those
who are notfamiliar with mushroomsnot
to depend upon the manure for start of
spawn, but invest % cents in "spawn
brick" which can be had Of almost any
first-class seed house. We secured ours
from James Wick, OF Rochester, N. Y. 1t
is not advisable to put the layer of earth
on top of the manure until after the
spawn has run through the bed. Mush-
rooms can be raised out of doors in this
climate, but we prefer to have them under
shed or other shelter.

book keeper. Of late their relations
have not been as amicable as at the
opening of their business career. This
was due to misunderstandipg between
Mrs. Nelson and her partner about
money matters, the lady claiming that
Hammer wac getting more than his share
Of the proceeds of their mutual venture.
On the other hand, Hammer alleged Chat
Mrs. Nelson and her son annoyed him
very much by interfering with his part
of the business.
Early yesterday morning lady room
ing IN the house was about to leave, and
Mrs. Nelson deputized her son to collect
$40 from the lodger, which was due for
rent. Hammer had interviewed the
lodger beforehand, and instructed her
not to pay anyone but himself. How
ever, she informed Frank Nelson that
upon his producing a receipt for the $40
signed by Hammer, she would pay him
the money. Upon this, young Nelson
and his mother waited upon Hammer in
the Office and demanded receipt, when
a scene ensued, in which it is alleged
that Hammer lost his temper and hustled
both Mrs. Nelson and her son out of the
office and into the hall, and a scuffls
ensued. Frank then drew q gun, and
sticking the muzzle of it into Hammers
face, caused a temporary suspension of
hostilities. Hammer called at the Police
Court. and swore to a Cross. complaint
charging Frank Nelson with having
drawn and exhibited a deadly weapon,
but tie youth claimed that he drew the
gun in self-defense. The Court, on hear
ing the facts as stated above, took all
three cases under advisement until this
morning. when it will render it's decision.

Matters are progressing in very sub.
stantial manner for the annual races of
the District Association at Agricultural
Park, commencing on Monday next.
The grounds have been put in inviting
order, and everything has been given
comfortable look. Carpenters have been
at work during the past week overhaul
ing things generally and putting in
boards and nails where necessary. The
track is in splendid condition, the lessee
OF the grounds having been aided in this
respect by the late rains, which saved an
immense amount of water being carried
about by the sprinkling carts. 1t is
TACT pretty we'll advertised aoroad that
the track on the park of the Sixth Dis
trlct Agricultural Association is one of
the best in the State; and the Directors
mean to spare no pains nor expense to
have it's good reputation preserved. Fast
stock is coming in quite freely, several
strings OF trotters and runners having
arrived during the week. The. stalls re-
served for these two classes of fsvorite
animals are nearly all taken. Other
horses are to come and Saturday will see
them all in and resting preparatory to
the exciting work of the coming week.
commencing on Monday, the 21st.
Hon. II. NJ. LaRue, Of the State Board
OF Agriculture. Sacramento, will act as
chief judge of the races, aided by Mr. J.
y. Newton, of the home association. No
better selections could have been made.
The ladies' equestrian display will take
place on Wednesday afternoon. There
are five prizes offered for the contest.
The entries already made and others to
come indicate that the ladies have en-
tered the contest with zeal, being assured
OF proper treatment, with all that the
term means.
Two polo games have been arranged
for, to be given by the Santa Monica
Polo Club, one on Tuesday and one on
Friday evening.
A very large list of entries for the stock
exhibition is already on the Secretary's
books. Workmen and appliances are at
hand to build new stalls or pens if re-
quired. The number already entered ex-
ceeds the limit of former years.
The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
companies have offered great induce
ments in reduced freights and fares from
all parts of Southern California, and are
doing everything possible to induce the
distant points to send in prize stock, and
for the people to come in and enjoy q
