Farmers who 1.-Two near railroad

They must be given good care and the

CATCHPENNY CHEATS.

Not long ago one Of the many catch
penny devices to coin money out of local
vanity was sprung upon this community.
An "extra" edition of an alleged ''jour-
nal" foreign to the city, was TO be issued,
devoted wholly to "booming" Sacramento.
The projectors swept in goodly sum, of
which the contributors were dead losers"
for it profted them not farthing, nor
ever will. The sheet came out and those
who paid the fiddler" were led to believe
that hundreds of copies of the pretentious
circular were scattered in every civilized
community under the sun. 1t was so full
some in its expression, SO absurd in its
claims, SO ridiculously extravagant in its
eulogiums; it pulled and soft-soaped, and
lathered to such an extent that it abso-
lutely occasioned nausea to read few
paragraphs of the fraud.
1t is just about the season of the year
when the community will be pounced
upon by several more of this order of
humbugs. In fact, there are indications
with the approach Of every legislative
session that warns us OF these blood-suck-
ers. 1t will be well for our business men,
upon whose advertising patronage the
local press has the right to depend, to be
on guard against the insidious agents and
forerunners OF these piratical cruisers in
the sea of journalism. They are positive
injuries to any community and do far
more to retard than to advance.

large as the total area of grain in that dis
tTict last season.
J.H. Callen, of Auburn, is about to begin

From the Auburn Herald
Mr.. Evans, of Colfax, is preparing to
plant eighty acres in fruit this coming
spring, mostly in pears and prunes.
Auburn has been deprived Of its electric
light luxury during the past week, owing
to the necessity of stopping the works to
put in new and better power wheel.
Different landowners down near the
orange grove of the Auburn Association
are preparing TO plant oranges quite extern
sively next spring. Already orders have
been given BY Gester Hector and others of
that section for over 5000 trees.
An Emigrant Gap correspondent says
that the South Yuba Water Company is

Headache and Dy.pep,,a.

William E. Rockwell, No. 512 West
Fifty seventh street, New York, says:
II have been martyr to bilious head
ache and dyspepsia. Any indiscretion in
diet, over-fatigue or cold brings on fit of
indigestion, to be followed by a headache
lasting two or three days at a time. l think
I must have tried over twenty different
remedies, which were recommended as GER
tain cures by loving friends, but it was no
use A lest thought would take SIM
pie course of purgation with Brandreth's
Pills For the first week ! took two pills
every night, then one pill for thirty nights.
In that time l gained three pounds in
weight, and never have had an ache or a
pain since"
Disease in one part of the body will
eventually fill the whole body with dis
ease. Every year or two some part of the
system grows weak and begins to decay.
Such part should be removed at once, and
new matter be allowed to take its place.
There's no need of cutting it out with q
surgeons scalpel. Purge away the old,
diseased and worn out parts with Brand
reth's Pills.

SAVING THE THEATER.

Shakespeare, than romance could have been
saved on the basis of Gil Bias or poetry on the
basis OF Cha rD Scott is an expgrgased De
The stage must be expurgated. Passion, both
in word and action, must no longer be sensuous
to satisfy aexon sense. Realism has not sue
ceeded in resurrecting grossness. Nudity is not
admirable, because corruption still exists. The
drama feels this. The theater is struggling
with fate. Edwin Booth and Joe Jefferson are
types of the new race of actors.
To this editor Flower of the Spectator
adds:
This is true We must have theater with
moral impulse behind it. No educator could
be made more powerful than THIS no influence
hood, to make people see, feel and live q better
life.
But while all this is true enough, and
while we must put more sensitive con-
science behind the stage, we cannot do so
with society demeanor as 1t is. So long
as vicious and weak literature corrupts
and degrades the taste without serious
protest by society, so long as liberty gives
license to the press to shame the name of
journalism by outrageously indecent print
and illustration; as long as youth is made
by these influences insensible to shame
and contemptuous of modesty, the theater
cannot be saved.
In fact it is, after all, no worse than
most other social disorders; it is not more
uuclean than the cheap bawdy literature
of the age; it is not more imnodest than
the prints that hang in news windows;
with its farce-comedy it is not weaker or
more silly than the .sstuff" that sells so
enormously through the weekly library
series, in the main. No, the theater is
quite abreast with the dominant taste of
the day. Were this not true, legitimate,
elevating, entertaining drama would
never be played to empty benches, while

TOO MUCH SAND,
Scheme tor Removing an Obstacle to
Railroads In Oregon.

Scheme Tor Removing an Obstacle to
Railroads in Oregon.
PORTLAND, December 2Sth.-Sanc storms
along the upper Columbia have long been
great source of annoyance and expense to
the company operating the railroad through
that section. Trains are frequently being
delayed day or more at time from sand
blown on the track.
Heretofore no systematic effort has been
made to get rid of the same. A large gang
of Chinese has been employed for years al
an expense of about $4,000 per year to
simply shovel sand of the track and pile
it up on the other side in the most conye-
nient place for being blown on again. In
some places the sand is Is to % feet
deep on each side of the track, the eccu.
mutation of years. and much of il has been
shoveled over hundreds of times.
The present management have adopted
a scheme for the removal of the sand by
sluicing it into the river by means of q
force pump at the river, near which the
road for long distance runs. The scheme
bids fair to prove great success, as with a
comparatively small pump the Sand is
washed into the river.

TIMES may be hard with many, but GER
tainly not with the majority. The Bos-

commercial and trade reports agree that
the holiday trade was enormous and the
cash receipts very great. In San Fran

fed, which means good deal. In Sacra-

liberal output of cash.
