County Finances.

Treasurer Ben Heney furnishes the following figures on county finances:
 The estimated floating indebtedness of the county on January 1st, 1890, is in round numbers S3S, 900 and this includes all interest on warrants to that date; as an offset to this is the delinquent tax list for 1889, amounting to S34, 4,S27 .95, which was legitimately figured upon last year as an asset of the county, and should the tax collector succeed in col lecting from said list as much as was done year ago, there would accrue within the next sixty days about Sl5,- GOO. to be applied to the reduction of the said floating debt of S3S000.

The Flutes O. K.

The Virginia City, (Nev.) Enterprise says: We hear no complaint of la grippe among our Flutes, nor do We hear of any of them having either feet or hands frozen. Though they have no shelter save brush shanties, and no fuel except the sagebrush twigs the squaws are able to root out from beneath the deep snow, to all appearance they are all, both big and little, as healthy, and as happy as in the middle of summer. They are certainly about as hardy race of human beings as is to be found any where on the continent.

Where the Cold PincheS.

An exchange says that where the cold takes the greatest effect is just at the surface of the earth. They assert that a thermometer placed on the ground will show eight degrees more cold than one suspended six feet above the ground. This shows that the stratum of air of most intense cold is that in immediate contract with the ground. The expert ment is one very easily made by any one inclined to make proof of the matter.

\ Merchants Wife the Bone of Contention.
 A Pronunciation.


 A well known merchant who has been greatly ccnedtted by Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, desired 70 give it to his wife, who was very delicate, but oI. of caution first consulted his physician, pr. Y. II. Griswold of 50 Market street The doctor, '.ho is one of our leading practitioners objected ayinS he had never seen q sarsaparilla that did not contain potash, which thinncd the blood; aat his patient did not have any vitality to lose ald that what delicate people need is not de- creased vitality, but more blood. He consented when assured that Joys Vegetable SarsapariIIa vas directly opposed 10 the old mistaken blood thinning idea of other sarsapariIlas, and that on the contrary by specific vegetable alternatives it stimulated the excretory organs, promoted diges ton, and repaired nutrition, hence created new blood and was the very thing for feeble people. The above explains the hundreds of cases in which aged, enfeebled, delicate and run down people, have been built Up by Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla after the potash sarsapariIas failed Its effects arc creating a scrsation-S F Er ansiRer.

now rushing through gap 600 feet
wide. By adding to this the volume of
water from breaks lower down, the back
country will be inundated aud the diff

most of the plantations inundated are al

The California Doom sealers.

The doom sealers who fed from Oakland
are mainly congregated in st. Helena and
Santa Rosa. They are having lovely
time, holding meetings nightly and bewail-
Ing the fate of those who remained in the
doomed city. At Santa Rosa the departure
of the leader, Mrs. Woodworth, has been
the signal for new prophet to arise. Mrs.
Darlington, wife Of real estate agent,
claims to have had vision Of the
destroyed city. At st. Helena, W..
H. johnson, who is the healer of
the doom sealers of that town, declared
he had vision two months ago of
waters sweeping over San Francisco and
Oakland, while Tuesday night the Lord
appeared to him and ordered him to 60 to
st. Helena. 1t is estimated that 200 fugi-
tives are at Santa Rosa, nearly as many at
st. Helena, and fifty at Vacaville. Living
in tents in hills back of Oakland are about
fifty people. The cranks are making cap
ital out.of the tidal waves ON Lake Mich.
igan, and citing these as the first manifes-
tations of the calamity. If only slight
earthquake should come here it would lead
to panic, as many who refuse to admit it
are alarmed by these cranks' predictions.

Bound by Oath to Suicide.

Wendom Baum, secretary of that unique
organization, the Bridgeport Suicide club,
has fulfilled the membership agreement by
killing himself. The story of this aston
ishing society is one of intense interest to
the student of morbid psychology. Four
years ago five citizens of Bridgeport,
Conn, all Germans, met one day
when all were low-spirited, and half
in jest organized a suicide club. The
agreement was that one member of the
club should end his life that year, one
the next and SO on until all were gone.
This agreement has thus far been fully
kept. When the annual meeting was held
in January there were only two members
to attend it, the secretary and the presi-
dent. Il was proposed at this meeting by
the secretary that the president should
make away with himself during the year
and by the president that the secretary
should do likewise. The president of the
club is now the only member Of the club
left, and another year will show if he
keeps his oath.

WANT TO TOTE FAIR.

Reciprocity Favored by the Pain American
Conference.
The international American conference
has adopted the report of the committee
on customs unions, which recommends
that reciprocity treaties be negotiated be-
tween the several republics of the Ame,i-
can hemisphere, each making tariff con-
cessions, 50 that the peculiar products of
them all may be introduced free
into the others, This report is in the
same line of the amendment sug-
gested by Mr.. Blaine to the committee
on ways and means of the house. The
conference also adopted the report of thu
committee on port dues. The committee
recommended that all port dues be merged
in single one, to be known as tonnage
dues; that this be assessed upon the gross
tonnage; that each government fix the rate
of tonnage dues with due regard to the
policy of the conference, which is to facili-
tate and favor navigation; that dues under
unexpired contracts with private compan-
les be excepted from the provisions of ar
ticle /; and that vessels OF less than
twenty-five tons transports and vessels of
war to be exempt from tonnage dues.
The report of the committee on banking
was discussed at length. The committee
believes that commerce could be extended
greatly by facilitating direct exchanges be-
tween the money markets of the countries
represented in the conference. The mer-
chants of the United States now i'm
porting goods from South and Central
America make these importations almost
without exception through the use of En-
glish banking credits. The committee
does not think the governments
themselves should afford financial
facilities. The best means of remedy
ing the existing difficulty, the COM
mittee thinks, is by the passage by the
United States OF Law incorporated an in
ternational American bank with ample
capital and privilege on the part Of the
citizens of the several countries in the
conference to take shares in the bank pro
rata to their foreign commerce. This
bank should have all the powers now en-
joyed by national banks of the United
States except power to emit circulating
notes. The conference did not conclude
consideration of this subject before ad-
journment.
