FOR CENTENNIAL YEAR.
Plan for Pacific Coast Historical i
hibition in the Year 1892.

Plan for Pacific Coast Historical Ex-
hibition I'm the Year 1892.
At a late meeting of the California Muse
um Association the idea was advanced that
in the year 1892, when the whole country
will be giving attention to the celebration
of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of
America, some effort should be made to
have Pacific Coast Historical Exhibit at
the Capital of this State 1t was thought
that the same should be held in connection
with tine fair of the State Agricultural So
ciety and continue several weeks; that the
exhibition should be representative OF the
history Of the whole Pacific coast from the
earliest times to the present, in the exhibi-
ton of costumes, examples of early imple-
ments OF industry, agriculture, art, ETC.,
and of representative articles illustrative of
the beginnings and the advance of civiliza-
ton on the coast of the three Americas.
A large committee was appointed TO con-
| slider the matter and consult with the State
Board of Agriculture. subcommittee of
| that committee yesterday presented the
matter to the Executive Committee of the
State Board of Agriculture through David
Lubln as Chairman. He outlined the
proposition, pointed out the feasibility of
| such an ethnic exhibition, and announced
how far the matter had progressed, and
what financial guarantee it already had.
The idea was to create a Board of Promo
ton from energetic citizens and make
ready to carry out the plan, taking full two
years to do so. He read letter also from
a gentlemen in San Francisco suggesting
that the occasion would be a fine one for
holding great horse show, such one as
has never been held in the United States.
1t was stated that sufficient attention has
| been given to the matter to prove the FEAST
bility of such historic exhibition, in con-
Eection with the exposition of the State
Agricultural Society. 1t was pointed out
that it would be in line with action being
taken in several States to have local GEN.
tennial exhibitions of various kinds. In
that year the drift of travel will be to the
United States, and there should be induce
ment relating to the sentiment of the year
| to induce visitation to this coast, which is
so rich in historic examples of the settle
ment of the western coast of the two CONT
neats. He added that there were many
forcible reasons why such an ethnic exhi-
bition should be held here, the ample
ground space available for annexes as
needed to the Pavilion, the location of the
buildings of the State Agricultural Society,
etc.
The members of the State Board of Ag-
riculture present were favorably impressed
with the presentation of the matter, and
requested that the detailed plan be submit
ted to the full Board on the 29th instant
They added that certainly something out of
the common should be done in the year
1892, and that Board of Promotion, rep
resentative of energy and business ability,
to conduct such an affair would doubtless
receive the encouragement of the Agricult-
ural Society.

KICKS, ALIAS WAKELEY.
An Old-Timer Shows Up in Police Circl
In Naxy

An Old-Timer Shows Up in Police Circles
In a New Light.
j. W. Kicks, alias Wakeley, who is in
custody at the City Prison on suspicion OF
having attempted to rob Mrs Jensen, after
chloroforming her, is well known in this
city. He has been dropping in and out of
here for the past ten or fifteen years, and
has on several occasions been arrested for
drunkenness. When a young man he
gained considerable prominence as foot
racer. Then he became a preacher and
temperance advocate. Later on he became
involved in some trouble over woman in
San Francisco, and served term in the
House of Correction there. After his re-
lease he disappeared and was not seen
again for many months. 1t is said that he
makes practice of making love to old
ladies for the purpose of getting money
from them.
Chief of Police Lee says that Kicks is one
of the smoothest confidence operators he
knows of. 1t has been ascertained that
Kicks did not ship Mrs. Jensen's baggage
to this city as he had informed her, but in
stead took them to a storage house in San
Francisco, where he deposited them under
the name of John Wyclif. He admits this
but denies that he intended to withhold
them, explaining that he was drunk and
forgot to ship the trunks. Mrs. Jensen
has not as yet sworn to a complaint against
Kicks, but probably will do so to-day.

A Sunday Spree Results Disastrously to
William Ford's Household.
William Ford was in the Police Court
dock yesterday morning charged with dis
turbing the peace. Ford got on one of his
periodical sprees on Sunday, and going to
his home he demanded money from his
wife. He threatened to kill her il she re-
fused him, and became so abusive that
Mrs. Ford and her child fed to her mother
in-law's home. Ford followed them and
tried to get in. but failing, he returned to
his own home and commenced demolish-
ing everything in the house. Crockery,
furniture, cooking utensils and almost
everything in the house was broken to
pieces. About the only thing he didn't
touch was the looking-glass, and he gave
the excuse that it would be bad luck to
break mirror.
Ford pleaded guilty to the charge. but
asked leniency of the Court, claiming that
be did not realize at the time what he was
doing. Judge Buckley took the case under
advisement until to-day 1t is one of those
cases where to punish the husband is a
hardship on his family, who depend upon
him for support.

State Printing once Supplies.

The State Board of Examiners and State
Printer Young were to have met yesterday
to award contracts for furnishing supplies
for the State Printing Office for the ensuing
year, but neither the Governor nor Attor-
ney-General was present and no action
was taken.
Secretary of State Hendricks, Deputy
Attorney General Johnson and State
Printer Young held meeting and received
the bids, some sixteen in number, but
some technical points arose, and it was
concluded that the questions that were
raised would be avoided by readvertising.
The bids were handed back unopened to
the owners. Several large San Francisco
type and paper firms put in figures. 1t
will be some five weeks now before the
contracts are let.

COUNTY AFFAIRS.

The Board of Supervisors Fix tho Tax
Rate for the Year at 81 so.
The Board of Supervisors met for its reg
Mar monthly session yesterday, all the
members being present.
The remonstrance Of George Hack and
others against the order of the Board of
September ID requiring the digging of a
ditch on the lower Stockton road for the
purpose OF draining the surface water, was
taken up and discussed.
Joseph Sims, George Hack and others
strenuously opposed the construction ofthe
dltch, Claiming that it was not right to
make reservoir on their lands for the
purpose of relieving the roadway or the
lands OF other people. The water should
be carried of by the Sacramento drainage
canal to tidewater.
After an extended discussion, Superv;sor
Greer moySI that the Supervisors confer
with the City Trustees relative to the feast

instructive and interesting. The speaker
dwelt at length on the importance of the
broad and inviting field of knowledge
which the Circle had opened up to those
who had been denied the advantage of a
collegiate course. While affording facilities
for the requirement of useful knowledge
regarding the literature and politics of the
day, the Circle was also a potent factor in
shaping the morals of its members. 1t is
not the product of any creed or denomina-
tion-in fact, one of its most inviting
features was that persons of all denomina-
tons, and those not identified with any of
them, met on common ground and ex-
changed views on all important subjects.
The Circle embraces moral and intel
lectual atmosphere that is elevating to all
that enter it. He urged that its members
exert themselves to draw within this magic
circle the young people who are drifting
aimlessly on toward lives that have no
promise of usefulness.

COUNTY TAXES.
They Are Made Higher by an Increase
In the State Lew.

Ihey are Made Higher by an Increase
In the State Levy.
The tax levy for the forty-first fiscal year,
as fixed by the Board of Supervisors yes
terday, amounts to 81 so on the 500. This
is an increase of 25 cents over last years
levy, but it must not be charged to extrava-
gance in county affairs. The truth is, the
increase has been caused by the enormous
appropriations made by the last Legisla-
ture.
The levy for this year, in this county,
would have been 81 26 on each 500, as
against 81 25 last year, but the State Board
of Equalization has increased the State tax
% cents over last year, and the school tax
2 cents, making total increase of "a cents
that the county is not responsible for.
Legislatures come high, at best, and some
come much higher than others, but the
people must have them. The last one was
a record. breaker

No Positive Proof.

Marie Franchise, The woman who was
arrested the other day on a charge of
grand larceny, in robbing man who Wis
tied her crib of the sum of $50, was dis
charged in the Police Court yesterday by
Judge Buckley. The Judge said he had no
doubt in his mind but that the defendant
was guilty of the charge, but ii was simply
the testimony of one against the other, and
he did not think jury would convict the
defendant on the testimony. 1t was one of
those cases in which positive guilt was
hard to prove.

work, quite independently of his
will, and for the most part without
his consciousness. This automatic,
unwcarying, pumping engine, is one
of the most inscrutable mysteries of
creation. The average work per-
formed by the lcart of healthy
adult man is equal to n feat of rails
