Bill Oglesby Doubles His Money on Cord
wood.
A man named Bill Oglesby was arrested
by Sheriff Halford, of Jefferson county, yes
terday evening and placed in Jail in this
city. It seems that Mr.. Oglesby owned
some cordwood out near Butte, and that he
went over there few days ago
and sold it for snug little
sum of money. But Bill was
not satisfied with reasonable compensa-
ton for his cord wood, so he looked around
awhile and found another man who wanted
to buy the wood and sold it to him. This
mans name was Cowan, and on failing to
obtain what he purchased he swore out
warrent for the arrest of Oglesby for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses. The
latter was found at a saloon near the
Broadwater in which he is interested. He
will be taken to Boulder for trial.

PERSONAL RIGHTS.
JUDGE TULEY'S LETTER TO THE
CHICAGO TURNER'S.
A Forcible Declaration Against Sumptu-
ary Laws, Vicious Legislation and the
Abuse of Executive Power.

CHICAGO, June 29.-Ten thousand peo-
pie who attended the annual games of
the Turner societies of Chicago, listened
to letter from the well-known jurist,
Judge Murray F. Tuley, which aroused
a decided interest The letter was ad-
dressed to the Chicago District Turner's,
as members of the Personal Rights
League, and was read by President
Dyrenfurth, of the league. In his letter
Judge Tuley says he regards their Or
ganization as one OF the most important
factors in the preservation of the liber-
ties of the people now existing. "Just
SO far, says the judge, las individ
ual is deprived OF his personal
rights, just to that extent is
he in slavery. Every law which directly
or indirectly forbids the exercise of
or abridges mans personal rights, de-
prives him to that extent OF his liberty.
But the danger to liberty is not so much
from unequal or tyrannical legislation as
from the ignoring of the written laws
and the usurpation by executive officers
OF powers, at any time, or authority not
granted by the law. Where (as in the
city of Chicago) the police arrest upon
bare suspicion and without warrant per-
sons not found in the act of violating
the law when the police undertake to
determine who shall and who shall not
meet in public assemblage to discuss
political or economic questions when
trial by newspaper is substituted for
trial by jury; when original packages OF
slander and vituperation are hurled at
the highest courts of the nation because
OF decisions favoring personal rights and
freedom of commerce; when upon al
most every article of food, drink and
clothing fictitious prices are made
by means of unlawful trusts and COM
binations, it is time, 1 say, not only to
call halt, but to establish personal
rights leagues in every school district,
every county, every state in the union.
Let your organization proclaim it to be
the first duty of every citizen to obey
the law, whether he be an official or
private citizen. Demand that there
shall be absolute equality of every citi-
zen before the law in the administration
OF the law and under the operation of
law. Persevere in your opposition to all
sumptuary and other vicious legislation,
and teach the people that if they wish to
preserve their liberties there must be
eternal vigilance in the protection of
personal rights"

SACRAMENTO, June 20. - When the
Central Pacific railroad was being built
the state gave certain rights and privi-
leges to the company, and in considera-
ton thereof the company decided to the
state valuable piece of granite land in
Placer county. 1t was thought at the
time the granite would prove useful in
building the state capitol, but it was
not used. Several years afterwards the
land was jumped by John and Mary
Quinn, and was worked by them for some
time before the encouragement brought
suit on behalf of the state to oust them.
They, however, abandoned the claim
and the suit was dismissed. For ten
years the quarries lay idle, although the
Quinns still maintained that the prop
erty was theirs. In the meantime the
husband died. Six months ago Mrs.
Quinn and her husbands brother re-en-
tered upon the property and began
working the quarries. The matter was
reported recently to Attorney-General
johnson, and he commenced injunction
proceedings on behalf of the people
in the superior court, Placer county. 1t
was learned, however, that Superior
Judge Meyer had formerly been attorney
for the Quinns, and was disqualified
from hearing the case. Accordingly an
order transferring the case to Sacra-
mento county was made, and District
Attorney Tuttle yesterday came with the
necessary papers and turned them over
to District ATTORNEY Bruner who form
ally filed them in the superior court. Mrs
Quinn mas succeeded in having several
bills introduced in the legislature auth
orizing the conveyance OF the property
from the state to her, setting forth that
she and her husband made many i'm
provements and were entitled to the
property but none Of the bills carried,
though one did pass both houses; but
Governor Bartlett vetoed it, 1t is un-
derstood the Quinns will not abandon
the quarries this time, but make Wig
orous fight for them, using as their
main Weapons the provisions of the
statute of limitations.

Facts for the Fair Sex.

A very graceful white batiste break
fast gown was made to fit quite tightly
at the back, two bands of embroidery
meeting at the waist. The whole of the
front was in embroidered batiste. 1t
crossed from the right shoulder to the
left hip and was edged with lace. The
sleeves were all embroidery, and over
them fell long wing sleeves of the plain
batiste put into the shoulders in puffs
Lila ordered one from this model
Prettler than any was a quite sweet
pale pink washing silk, all made
by hand and much trimmed with Valen-
ciennes insertion and edging. Two rows
OF wide insertion ran round the skirt,
the silk being cut away behind. A frill
of the lace over silk was at the edge.
The back was gathered in just below
the waist. Down the front ran frill of
Valenciennes. The sleeves had lines of
insertion, and over the top of them fell
short square ones of the pink silk, form
ing tiny cape in 'front.'
A capital dress for the river was a
scarlet foulard figured with sage and
cream in bold design, and made up un-
usually prettily, with some of the imita-
ton old point that is so cleverly done
this season, and knots of scarlet and
sage ribbons. A dark haired girl would
look enchanting in that gown. A pale
fawn eolienne, with geranium red silk
bodice, and long ends at the back, was
also very attractive. One of the tailor
made gowns had gored skirt that
stood out at the back in regular folds
that maintained their position by means
of lining of horsehair. This is some
thing new, and / only hope it may not
be the thin end of the wedge for in
Producing the odious and detestable
crinoline
A very pretty sunshade was in green
silk, covered with black net, embroid-
cred in corn flowers in pinkish
tones of mauve and edged with lace
to match. This would look very
pretty with fowered foulard in the
same colors. The parasols made of stiff
frills, accordion pleated, have had a
great success, but we thought they
looked a trife wild. Others were in
silk, with large satin spots scattered
over them. The short silk ones, with q
narrow edge of one of the colors, are
nice. So are the japanese crepe in any
color, with button-holed frill of the
same around the edge.-(London Truth.

as last year, thirty-nine inches being the
maximum, but great care is be-
slowed on these handles. Some are
made of natural wood, with the Louis
XIV. hook; others are of the fiat carved
Japanese kind. Some have china lapis
lazuli or Bengaline tops, with fecks of
gold in a brown marble substance.
Green is a popular color, but a leading
novelty is the parasol made of china
silk, lined with contrasting color
green with pink, for example-and bows
OF the two colors on the handles. Atten-
ton has been paid to the points of the
ribs, which have balls of gold or ivory,
and with the latter are futed ivory
handles.
The newest parasols of the year are
tent-like, OF enormous size and more
rounded than they used to be, the ribs
turning downward. They are also most
daintily trimmed with baby ribbons,
which are looped round the edge and
carried up the ribs in bows.

He Got q Chew.

There was painter working at the
top of long ladder on Fourth avenue
yesterday, when a tramp came along
and called to him.
Hey, youl got any of the weed about
youW
"Well, you've got cheek !" replied the
painter, as he looked down and sized the
man up.
"Gimme a chew"
'No sir!"
''Does that go?"
"You bet it goes"
"All right-here's another thing to go
with it,"
And he pulled the foot of the ladder
five feet outwards. while the painter u t.
tered yell of terror.
''Hey, you do you chew"
"Y-yes."
''Got any to spare?"
"Lots."
''Throw 'er down."
The painter dropped his plug to the
ground and the tramp bit off royal
bite, placed the remainder on a stone
and went his way with a whistle in one
corner Of his mouth and pucker in the
other Detroit Free Press.

THE HEADSMAN TALKS.
MR.. CLARKSON INTERVIEWED AT
SAN FRANCISCO.
He States the Administrators Views on
the Silver Question and His Own
Views on Civil Service Reform.

SAN Francisco, June 29.-Assistant
Postmaster-General Clarkson arrived
here today from Portland.
my present trip" he said, "has no
political significance whatever. 1t was
undertaken solely with the view of see
the postal facilities in the northwest"
'What is the policy of the administra-
tion on the silver question ?" was asked.
II think that President Harrison is
riendly to the white metal. but does not
favor the coinage of more than $4, ,00O, 900
a month. There has been considerable
revulsion of feeling in the east of late on
the silver question, and the friends of
that commodity are not confined en-
tirely to the west. 1t is not likely, at
present at least, that either party would
go the extreme of granting all the radi-
cal silver men ask"
"And now, would you object stating
your views upon the question of civil
service reform ?"
81 have been so often misquoted on
that subject and have had so many
charges laid at my door of violating
the spirit of the civil service law,
that / sometimes hesitate when
it is mentioned. believe that the gov
ernment Of the United States is polit-
ical and not business organization. l
do not believe that Democrats can ad-
minister the affairs of a Republican
administration as well as Republicans,
any more than believe that Methodists
can carry on the affairs of the Baptist
church better than Baptists."
Is it your opinion that the Mckinley
bill will become law?"
"With some modification to suit the
west, yes. The policy of protection is
gaining strength in the west"
