Interesting Interview With Congressman
W. W, Morrow,

Interesting Interview With Congressman
W. W. Morrow.
SAN Francisco, September 9th.-Con-
gresham w. W. Morrow, who accompa-
MED the Senate Committee on Arid Lands
On their tour of investigation through the
State, Congressman Hemphill of South
Carolina and Representative Vandever and
Professor Hillgard of the California Uni
versity, has returned well pleased with the
results of the trip.
He said: "At San Diego we were taken
to the Chamber of Commerce and shown
an admirable collection of the county's
products.
"In San Bernardino General Vandever,
Mr.. Hemphill and l Left the committee as
it had then finished its work in California.
The evidence taken by the committee
showed that an acre of irrigated land is
worth two acres of land watered by uncer-
tain rains. Testimony was given that
twenty acres of land in Southern California
properly irrigated would produce as much
as 100 acres in Illinois,"
How large is the territory of the COM
mittee's investigation
Fully two-fifths of the entire area of
the United States. That is why it IS COM
PEELED to proceed as rapidly as possible"
" Did the members of the committee ex-
press any opinion as to the value of their
investigation ?"
" 1t was made apparent that irrigation is
matter of vital importance to this west
ern country, and when proper system is
provided the value of the land and the
products will be multiplied beyond any,
thing that can be estimated at present. II
will be equivalent to the addition of large
territory to the United States"
Mr.. Marvin stated that any person or cor
poration that has taken up land reserved
by the Government for reservoirs will be
elected. He thought the policy of reserv.
ing all land that might be needed for irri-
eating purposes was an exceedingly wise
one. For" said he, " if the Government
had waited to find out just what land il
wanted there would not have been an inch
of it left by the time it was needed
Referring to the purpose of the inyesti-
cation, he said that it was not the intention
to construct reservoirs and canals but tc
protect the natural supplies, and discover
what is the best system of irrigation that
can be adopted. Water will then be gath.
cred in reservoirs, and held for use of the
surrounding section. The law of reserving
lands for reservoirs is practically repeal
of the desert land Act, and makes it i'm.
possible for the pre-emption of large tracts
of land to secure monopoly of the watel
supply.

NJ. L. Wallace, an elderly painter, got on
one of his periodical sprees yesterday, and
terrified the neighborhood of Fifteenth
and D streets, during the afternoon and
evening. Finally he became so obstreper-
Gus that special officer W. S. Click decided
to take him TO Jail, where he would be less
apt to do any mischief. On the way to the
Station-hoGse the old man broke away
from the officer, and, drawing jack-knife,
stabbed him in the abdomen and on the
left side of the neck. Officer Click sue
ceeded in getting his prisoner to the Sta
ton, despite his injuries. The wound in
the abdomen is the more serious of the
two, and may confine the officer to his bed
some time, though it is not considered fatal.
A charge of assault to murder will be pre-
ferred against Wallace

SAN Francisco, September 9th.-The ap-
pearance of the city to-day was that of q
holiday, for there was general suspension
of business owing to the celebration of the
anniversary of California's admission TO
the Union. The flagstaffs on nearly all OF
the buildings of the city displayed flags,
the markets and stores were closed and
those persons who were on the streets ap-
peared to be there for other than business
purposes. Various organizations celebrated
the day out of town. The Native Sons OF
the Golden West invaded San Jose and had
fine parade there.
The Veteran Firemen of this city had a
grand time to-day at Santa Cruz Nearly
all the boys" left here Saturday, but
many also started yesterday for the scene.
The festivities were under the direction of
the Firemen's Association of California
and the Exempt Fire Company of this city.
Many older folks, as well as children,
availed themselves of the opportunity
offered to-day TO go with the Methodist
union Sunday school picnic to the Big
Trees and Santa Cruz.
Crowds left the city early for various
suburban towns on private pleasure excur-
sions. The park and ocean beach drew
many thither, especially in the afternoon,
when the fog had lifted and the sunshine
made those places attractive.
The Society of Pioneers began several
weeks ago to make preparations for the
proper celebration to-day of California S
birthday anniversary. A special COM
mittee, consisting of A. Powell, Peter
Dean, A. NJ. Ebberts, Alexander Mont
gomery, J. l.. Hunt, S. n. Daniels and
M. NJ. Baldwin, was appointed and these
gentlemen bestirred themselves to arrange
celebration that would prove grand,
good time" for all who should attend.
Camp Taylor was finally decided upon as
the best place for the DAYS festivity, and
thither, in accordance with circular invi-
tatons and special tickets, a company OF
nearly hundred persons went this morn
ing. They left the city by the $40 North
Pacific Coast ferry steamer. The arranged
programme provided for banquet and
clam m-bake, and all who went were assured
of ample supplies and room for ALL That
the committee might know how many TO
expect to-day, DO tickets have been given
out since Thursday last. All society men,
bers evidently did not understand this, for
this morning a number besieged the Secre-
tary's office land in vain) for the tickets
necessary for their participation in the
days picnic.
An Grafton by Rev. R 1bert Mackenzie, a
poem by Rev. G. T. Mel music and dane
ing were features of the programme ar
ranged. At 5 P NJ. the band was instructed
to signal the return homeward by playing

Very Risky. Indeed

To tamper with symptoms indicative of
growing kidney disorder to neglect for a
brief time needful stimulation OF the renal
organs when their inactivity points, as it
always and unmistakacly does, to their
eventual permanent disease-is certainly
very risky, indeed. This is, however, a
risk that many persons, percepibly drift
ing into Bright's disease, diabetes, catarrh
of the bladder, ETC., constantly incur. So
those who read reflect and heed the les
sons of recorded experience, the sdvi3a.
bility of using Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers as diuretic, need scarcely more than
suggestion. No fact is more generally
admitted by the medical profession and
the public than its efficacy for the preven-
ton of serious renal disease. The unmed.
icated excitants of commerce, no matter
how pure. beal in mind, react preiudicially
upon the kidneys when inactive. The Bit
ters subdue malaria, constipation and
rheumatism.

SAN Francisco, September 9th.-The
unusual sight of vessel entering port with
her flag flying at half mast excited COM
ment on the water front this afternoon.
The vessel, which was in tow of Spreckels'
tug Vigilant, proved to be the whaling
bark John Winthrop.
From his station at Meiggs' wharf the
Merchants Exchange messenger noted the
signal of distress and he urged his men to
bend their oars more briskly as they
pulled out to get the usual report from an
incoming vessel. When the messenger
boarded the bark he found scene of ex-
element and confusion. The men were
running to and fro and the Captain
seemed more excited than his men. Sew
eral sailors were bending over shipmate,
who was bleeding from a terrible knife
wound in the abdomen. The intestines
protruded from the gaping cut and the
man evidently was in a dying condition.
All the messenger could learn from hur-
ried questions was that there had been a
lively row aboard the vessel when outside
the Heads and that one sailor had stabbed

Funer l of ,Inhn IL. TarInr.

The funeral of John B. Taylor took
place Sunday at his late residence, on the
Folsom road, above Routier's Station, and
was largely attended. He was very ac-
tive man in his lifetime, was broadly
known, and many friends from different
parts of the State were present at his
funeral. But it was among his more i'm
mediate neighbors that his worth and
ability was best known and most highly
appreciated. He has always been leader
amongst them. He organized them to
resist the grant claimants, and to defend
the title to their lands, in the early history
of the county. He took an active interest
in school matters, and was for many years
an active Trustee of the district school,
during which time the present valuable
library which adorns that structure was
purchased. The entire community turned
out to show their gratitude to the deceased
for his many valuable public services, and to
show their respect for his faithful wife, whose
constant care and careful nursing had pro-
longed her husbands life many years.
Mrs. Taylor is prostrated with grief at the
loss of her husband and constant compan-
ion of nearly forty years of happy mar
ried life, and the whole community sympa-
thizes with her in her great affliction. Mr..
Taylor was buried under the auspices of the
Masonic Order, of which he has lcng been
a member. The floral offerings were nu-
merous and elaborate.

season with new play, The Burglar"
The fine quality of the playing done by
Mr.. Grismer and his accomplished wife
goes in Sacramento without the saving
This occasion furnished no exception, un-
less it may be said that "breaking the rec
Ord'' should be 50 counted. As its title in
dicates, The Burglar" is not high tragedy
The spectator is not called upon to agonize
with the woes of kings and courts, but the
situations are leveled at the every
day sympathies and passions of every
day people with a directness and en-
ergy that result in rapid and almost
constant alterations of laughter and tears.
There is nothing dull from beginning to
end and no weak spots in the support.
Miss Davies is touchingly pathetic through
out, Mr.. Grismer is telling from first to
last, and in the closing scene really touches
very high mark in the performance of
tragedy. Little Editha, the baby, made
several distinct captures of the audience on
her own account. The house was well
