THE Mason County News gives the
following good advice to its agricul-
tural readers:
I'm 1890 every farmer in the United States
will Oe visited by an officer of the government
and asked to give the statistics of his ia hi
crops, stock, etc , for the previous yeaI, which
is the preset 1899. To be prepared tor the
census taker begin now to keep accounts of
ali farm operations and keep it up through
the year. In this wsy the agricultural status.
tics of the census will have value"
This advice applies to other than
agriculturists. The census will in
clude many statistics of manufacture
as well that will be more correctly re-
turned by preparing for the work in
advance.

ADJUSTMENTS,

The Powers Irish Dramatic Company
presented at the Opera House last night the
beautiful drama The Fairys Well" 1t is
a charming play of romantic plot, genuine
humor and sustained interest from the
opening to the close. 1t is chaste, OF good
moral tone and is strong in its situations.
The scenic effects are very fine and in the
third act exceedingly novel. So, too, i'll
the second act, with the waterfall, there
is reached very picturesque scene and a
very striking situation. There is an atten-
tention to detail in the staging of the play
notably in the fitting up of the hunt.

strong, Smith O'Brien being one of the
most natural, unexaggerating and sympa-

Sacramento. 1t is quite worth the admis-
sion to hear Mr.. Mack in his clear, strong
and high tenor song, Mollie Bawn. Miss
Rosebud, as Mona" strongly reminds
the auditor of Mrs. Sedley Brown,
in the hight of her fame, as
" Arrah-na Pogue." An Irish piper is
introduced in one act with the old-time
Irish pipes, which he plays very skillfully.
The entire company sing and dance well,
and in the Halloween testivity make up q
strlklngly natural group of merry makers

all around SO competent, neat, conscien-
tlous IN its work, and that does not boast a
single star. Compared to such stock
company, the "Peck's Bad Boy and the
'Strategists" and similar extravagant and
unlntellectual groups, are not worthy of
mention. The same play tonight.

on their selection. Captain Hall is perhaps
the most energetic officer in the regiment,

whom the utmost confidence can be placed.

company could not have been made.
Lieutenant Sheehan has been associated
heretofore with Company G for great
many wears, serving in almost every Office
up to First Lieutenant. He can handle a
company on drill ground in as able a
manner as any of the Captains, and more
over he was always well liked and re-
speced by his subordinates

Justice Worsted by an Obstreperous Fee
male Complaining Witness.
The case of John Sinclair, charged with
beating his wife, was called in the Police
Court yesterday. The defendant was in
Court, but his wife was not-as has been
the case every time this case has come up.
Judge Buckley stated that it was plain to
him that there was no disposition on the
part of Mrs. Sinclair to prosecute the
charge but he was 10th to dismiss the case
without giving the complaining witness a
piece OF his mind. He did not like the
idea of allowing the Court to be trified with
by women who swear to charges against
their husbands and then refuse to prose-
cute them. But under the circumstances
he regretted to say that he had no other
alternative than to dismiss the case, as
moved for by Sinclair's attorney, Mr..
Pickett.
1t is said that Mrs Sinclair did not go to
Ogden as reported, but was here in town
hiding in lodging house to avoid prose
cutting her husband. 1t is said also that
the couple are again together, and parties
claim to have seen them driving through
} street yesterday in a hack.

a Specimen Case.

Dulhptu Upon sacramento
a Specimen Case.
There arrived in this city on Sunday,
from Oregon, an elderly lady named Mrs.
E. F. Brawley, who took room at the
Western Hotel. During the night she
rang for one of the employees, and informed
him that there were persons in the adioin-
ing room talking about her. She said that
"all along the line" on her way down, she
had heard people talking about her. and
she was not only annoyed, but alarmed.
She wanted another room, but instead was
conducted to the sitting room, and turned
over to the police on suspicion of insanity.
Later in the day she was examined by Drs,
G. B. Nichols and G. l.. Simmons before
Judge Van Fleet, and committed to Stock
ton. She said she had friends in Boulder.
Col; Phoenix, Or; Maxwell, Colusa county,
and one or two in Sacramento. whom she
had not been able to see, but that one FAM
lily named Tade, in which she was &C
quainted, resided on Tenth street when she
was here several years ago. "A family of
that name reside at SIT Tenth street,

could have quiet, comfortable home. She
related infinitely incidents of her life for
several years past, and her mind seemed
clear on all points except that some mys-
ferrous persons were talking about her. In
her answers to questions she gave evidence
of being we'll educated. expressing herself
in excellent language. If she has relatives
or friends who would give her the comforts
OF home, she might soon recover COM
plete mental equilibrium.
This unfortunate woman is what might
be termed an assisted emlgrant." Parties
in Oregon gave her money to enable her to
reach Shasta, and the Shasta hospital au-
thorities gave her money to help her along
to Colusa county, and there she was given
further assistance to reach Sacramento.
That is how this city and county has so
many invalids to provide for who do not
belong here, but are assisted" hither by the
authorities of other counties. There should
be State hospital erected here TOR the care
OF this class of unfortunates.

The Gus Lavensons went to Marysville
last Sunday, and played the opening game
of the Northern California League with the
club of that place. 1t was a brilliant con-
test, replete with difficult plays and mar
Vicious catches. The Lavensons were vic
torious by score of 10 to 6. The battery

cipal feature of the game, Mangan striking
out eighteen men, and allowing but five
scattering singles to be made off his dehv-
cry. Slattery and Cavanaugh was the bat
terry Tor the Marvsvilles. The Gus Laven-
sons meet the Placers, of Auburn, next Sun
