Rev. Edward Beecber.

Many heart has been saddened at the
news of the accident to Rev. Edward
Beecher, the S5-year-old brother of Henry
Ward. He was erect, snow-white haired
and handsome, preaching still with much
of his youthful vigor. The amputation
of his foot is most to be lamented because
it will deprive him of the walks he en-
joyed SO much. Buddhism and the doc
trines of reincarnation by the same spirit
on this earth are somewhat fashionable
tenets of belief at present. But Edward
Beecher was the pioneer in America of
the doctrine of pre-existence. He said a
previous existence for man on this earth
was the only way in which he could rec.
oncile the inequalities of the present life
with the mercy of Cod. This doctrine
he declared to be quite consistent with
orthodox Christianity. He set forth this
view in his book, the Conflict of Ages"
about forty years ago. The work made
sensation at the time.

BEST society" in Boston and new
York is different. In Boston it is the
literary people, the artists, college pro
fessors and the people of brain and cui-
t1,re. In New York it is the 400 who are
now quarreling among themselves ana
with the rest of the world. They base
their claims to aristocracy on the 1act
that no member of their family has
worked for living or engaged in any
business for two generations.

Too Much for the Mosquitoes.

w. A. Sanders thus expresses him,
self in defense of tree upon which
there has of late been disposition to
open warfare: Il have moro of these
trees eucalyptus growing than can
be found anywhere else IN the San
joaquin valley great monsters 100
feet tall, containing over cord of
wood each, grown from seed in the
past ten years. You can see my euca-
lyptus groves from the cars of the
southern Pacific railroad from Goshen
to Fowler, distance of over twenty
miles. | wish to add fact to your
recommendation of this tree-a fact too
important to be overlooked. The euca
lyptus globulus, when grown in large
quantities, gives entire exemption
from mosquitoes Here at my home
we have acres of dense shade, big,
sluggish ditch that is always full Of
water, and in all of our prolonged
summer and autumn heat never a
mosquito, while among the willows Of
Kings river, two ~ les away, they
swarm at times in clouds and literally
devour their unprotected victims. ~

Women Voters In Kansas.

In February, 1897. Kansas followed
the example of Great Britain and grant
ed school and municipal suffrage to wo
men. The women began voting at once,
and have kept it up ever since. In the
election just passed, no less than 40, 900
women voted. At the election two yeari
ago a woman was elected mayor of Oska-
loosa, and the women had their own way
in the selection of town officers. Oska-
loosa liked it SO well that this year the
woman's ticket was reelected. At Cot
tonwood Falls and Rossville, two small
places, all the officers elected, from
mayor down, were women. Whole fam
ilies-father, mother, sons and daugh-
ters, in some instances-went to the
polls in party and cast their ballots.
In Topeka the women were more inter
ested in election than the men. Clean
streets and good schools were something
that appealed to them directly, because
of their homes and children.
Women shared all the perils and hard
ships of the war for free state in Kan
sas in the beginning. That fact appealed
so strongly to the chivalry of the men
who adopted the Kansas constitution
that they invited woman, Mrs. Mich
OILS, to speak in the convention She did
so, and asked for equality of rights for
women with men in the matter of prop
erty and the control of children. 1t was
granted.
In Topeka alone 1890 votes were cast
by women this spring. Colored ladies
were conveyed to the polls in carriages
Oy their white sister voters.

In an uptown church last Sunday
evening, when the pastor had got well
into his sermon, he noticed an unusual
commotion among the choir. at his
SghL lie. tried to ignore it. but the
tlOuulc became So llvt.y that he lGil
it his duty to rebuke the singers in
loud voice The disturbance finally
quieted down and the services proceed
ed with due dignity. A member of
the choir managed to communicate to
the much put out pastor the cause of
the uneasiness before the services were
concluded. 1t was n mouse-only
little mouse, But with the perversity
of its kind, this little mouse had man
aged to get under the skirts of one of
the ladies' The good pastor forthwith
explained to the congregation that the
trouble had been unavoidable-tha

FREIGHT TRAIN DITCHED.
A Washout Makes Trouble for the Rail
road Near Willows.

A Washout Makes Trouble for the Rail-
road Near Willows.
The wrecking train and crew left the
depot about o'clock last evening for the
north, to respond to call for their services
to clear the road of wrecked freight train,
caused by washout about four miles from
willows Freight train No. d, bound
north and consisting of eight cars of mer-
chandise, was ditched yesterday afternoon
at Lyman station. between Willows and
Germantown, on the Benicia branch of the
Southern Pacific. though the engineer
realized that the road was a little shaky,
he thought he could get over it safely. The
engine passed all right, but the first car left
the track on account of the rails spreading
and the road giving away on account of its
muddy condition. The car turned over
and threw the other seven from the track.
No one was hurt, but the brakemen had q
narrow escape.
The locomotive went directly to Ger
mantown and reported, and then attempted
to return to the scene oe the accident, but
it could not get within mile of it, as the
water was by this time flowing over the
road in many places.
Between 300 and 400 feet of the road is
washed out, and it will be several days be-
fore the road can be repaired.
On account of the condition of the road
the local passenger train for Redding
which left at 1870 A. NJ. and had reached
Willows, returned here last evening. The
train then went to Redding by the Oregon
route.

MAMIE BROWN.
The Recalcitrant Miss Jailed Again by
Her Mother.

The Recalcitrant Miss Jailed Again by
Her Mother.
Mamie Brown, a rather good-look1pg
but wayward girl, is in trouble again.
Time and time again has Mrs. Brown,
Mamie's mother, with tears in her eyes,
complained to the police regarding her err
ing daughter, and three times within as
many months has she caused Mamies
arrest. The girl has been in the Police
Court twice, but she has never been con-
victed. The last time she was charged with
vagrancy by her mother. and was allowed
to go upon her explanation that her mother
was to blame. This morning the girl will
be in Court again-this time charged with
disturbing her mothers peace. Mamie, as
the mother says, imagines that she is the
master of the domestic domicile. and in
upholding her claim she has made life mis-
cradle for her aged parent, who AYERS that
she cannot stand it any longer. The war
rant for Mamie's arrest was issued on the
I'd, and was placed in the hands of officer
Crump for service. Last evening the Off
Ger found the girl and took her to the
police station. Without a blush or word
she walked to her cell.
II have been looking for her high and
low, day and night, for seven days and
nights, said the officer. "She knew / was
after her, and managed to elude me until |
accidentally ran across her last evening"

AN ANARCHIST MEETING.
How Police Officer Rudely Disturbed
One Last Evening.


"Whoopi"
The blood curdling cry rang out upon
the night air-last night's-and startled the
neighborhood of Second and K streets.
A reporter who had been out examining
the levees, pictured Indian massacres and
Jack the Ripper's orgies in his imaginative
brain and ran in the direction whence came
the cry, at each step expecting to tread
upon the remains of some unfortunate vic
tim. The cry was repeated even more ter
rible than before. 1t was evident that it
emanated from within notorious dive on
K street, and thither hurried the reporter
followed by crowd of excited denizens of
the neighborhood. Upon entering the
dead-fall the perpetrator of the war-whoop
was beheld standing upon q rickety card
table gesticulating wildly and shouting at
the top of his voice to party of greasy and
besotted individuals who were seated be-
fore him. The shouter was red-headed,
| red whiskered, red-nosed and red-shlrted,
and was an excellent specimen of the genus
hummer.
whats the natter" asked the news
hunter, excitedly.
"Sh-h-hr' came from all parts of the
ond to cast lurid glare upon the intruders.
go on go on" said several of the
seated auditors, and the man in red pro-
ceeded:
"Whoopl As 1 SEE before, fellow-citi-
zens, ther time hez cum, an we must take
up arms ter defend ther principles we love
so much. Down with ther tyrants Whoopl
Down with ther cussed rich Whoopl!
Down with everybody what doesn't believe
we is right Whoopl!l Well hev no
more police-we'll hang all ther peelers ter
lamp-posts. we will. Well make the rich
divvy up ther Doodle, an then we'll burn
'em all TO the stake Whoopl Whoop! !
Well blow up ther hull world with dyna-
mite and all the tyrants with it Well"
Hear hearl hearp' The interruption
came from the enthusiastic hearers, and
they drummed deafeningly upon the tables
with their empty beer glasses.
"Whoopl | knowed you was all solid,
you bet. Oh, l kin jist picter We, boys,
when We gets at ther police. Whoop but
won't we do 'em up, though. Well tor
| ture 'em before we hangs 'em to the lamp
posts, hey, boys? Whoopl Mebbe we
wouldn't like to start in tonight, though
Whoop Oh, but WE'LL"
Here, here, come off of your perch
| there, or I'll run the whole crowd of you
| H."
The interruption was not from the en-
| thusiastic hearers this time. 1t was from
| police officer Cunningham, who, attracted
by the noise, had just come in to see what
| the row was about.
| The reporter realized that after what the
| terrible red-headed orator had said, the
police officer would be butchered upon the
spot, and hid himself behind the stove in
order to shut out the terrible scene of blood
shed which was about to ensue.
But it didn't ensue.
The terrible man in red turned ashy
pale and slid off of the table as though his
shoes had been creased. The enthusiastic
hearers teeth chartered audibly, and they
were too frightened to breathe.
Gentlemen" said the orator, huskily, as
he reached the floor; timer meetin' is ad-
journed," and he darted for the back door.

NO NEED OF ANXIETY.
The River is All Right and So Are the
Levees.

The River is All Right and So Are the
Levees.
The last observation taken of the river
gauge at this end of the Sacramento and
Yolo bridge, last evening showed that the
turbulent stream registered % feet 8 inches
"a rise of four inches since the previous
evening. There was no difference last
evening between this gauge and the one at
the foot of K street, the latter registering
also % feet inches.
Waterman Beeler, at the steamboat
landing reports that during the early hours
of yesterday morning the river fell at least
six inches, and the night Waterman this
side of the bridge also reports that during
the night the river had fallen between
three and four inches. He accounts for the
decrease by the fact that during the heavy
storm in the night the wind turned the
foaming waters into the tules. The high
est water mark at the bridge gauge this
year was on March 18th, when the river
reached "a feet 6 inches. The American
river is said to be about at standstill.
A rumor was circulated last night that
the levee on the other side of Knights
Landing had broken and that the water
was rushing through. The rumor could
not be traced to any authentic source and
is no doubt without foundation. Yesterday
morning the river at the Landing was over
10 feet.
There was another rumor yesterday that
the leyee on the other side of the river,
known as the Bryte Ievee, had broken, but
there was no truth in this, either.

NEW GAUGE WANTED
So That Anxious Citizens May Watch the
Rivers Caprices.

So That Anxious Citizens May Watch the
Rivers Caprices.
Now that the river is booming and its con-
dition is being watched with interest, 1t
has been suggested that the gauge al the
foot of K street should be placed in such a
position as to be within public view. As it
is now, the gauge is hidden underneath the
freight steamer sheds, where no one can
see il, unless he be contortionist, without
considerable trouble and danger of falling
into the river. In years past, before the
steamer landing was improved, the gauge
could be seen by everybody, and the pro-
gress of the river could be noted at any
hour of the day or night.
1t is reported that Captain Foster, who
has charge of the landing, intends to have
a new gauge placed in the river, between
the fish market and the steamer sheds, and
report further has it that the gauge on this
end of the Yolo bridge will have lamp
suspended to it at night. in the future.
