On Monday at p. m. last, great
excitement was witnessed at Hotel
EaglesATere. The cause of the
catastrophy was about the, bill-of-
fair. 1t seems that the proprietors
OF the Hotel had requested warm
biscuits for tea and the order was
given to the cook (colored) who was
to inform the baker to prepare the
same. At supper time guests called
for biscuits but were informed by
the walters that there were none,
presently the proprietors, were told
that there was considerable, dissatis-
faction among the guests about the
non appearance Of warm biscuits
which appeared OIL the bill-offair.
Mr. Ingham went to the cook and
inquired the cause, who said that he
had given the baker orders to pre-
pare the same and could give no
reason why they were not on deck.
The baker was then brought forward
and denied that the cook had men,
toned the matter to him. This
brought on hot words and they fin
ally clinched the baker downed the
cook who weighs some fifty pounds
more than he, hut no sooner had
they fallen when a crowd gathered
and separated them. The cook was
then let go who Immediately ran to
his department and got two cleavers,
one in each hand and started in pur-
suit of the baker who ran up stairs
at the request of those present. He
went into room and jumped out of
the window meeting the cook face
to face. The cook struck him on
the head with one of the axes and
en- the back with the other. Neither
cut, however, was serious. The
cook, was at that time frothing at
the mouth with anger. He was
then caught and bound with bed
cords and the like and taken to
Squire Brink who found him guilty
of sault and battery. He was
brought to IaPorte on the same
evening and occupied cell No. for
an hour or two when he was bailed
out and on the following morning
left for Washington, d. g., from
whence he halls.
In our conclusi ion, we might say
however, that there were many
policemen of the Mere before this
happened, but we are told that the
excitement Of this scene caused
many to run in the direction of the
lake and it is expected That a num-
ber drowned or perhaps climbed
trees, they are lost however, and in
consequence the number Of police
men of the Mere have suddenly
grew less.

As we expect to be a candidate
for County Commissioner this fall
subject to the decision of the Re-
publican Convention, we are a trife
engaged in looking up our friends
this week and have paid but little
attention to our paper. We have
found many warm friends, III our
travels who express their best wishes
in our behalf, however, we may run
against snag before our convention
convens that will cause us to change
our tune, but at present all is pleas
ant. George and Thos. Simmons, two
old and we'll known veterans of
Sonestown, will please accept our
thanks for many favors shown lis in
the short campaign. Our position
is this: We have always worked
hard for the success ofour party and
to-day are the looser of nearly all
legal advertising for the very en-
thusiastic part we took in the last
falls campaign. The salary of
County Commissioner, should we be
Successful in receiving the same,
would only be small compensation
for our loss.
1t is true that we are expected to
do this, but one good turn deserves
another; but should you feel diff
ferent we shall hold no i'll feelings
and should you come before tie
people at any future time, we shall
do all in our power to carry you
through successfully.
The other Republican candidates
so far as we have learned, are: A.
A. Wilmott of Bernice, and we have
heard Joseph @. Penpington's name
mentioned, but at the meeting of the
Standing Committee on Saturday,
he could not say, positive that he
would enter the field. Should there
be any others we would take pleas
ure in giving their names to the
public, without price. A fair fight
is honorable, and should you have
anything to say through the press;
we will take pleasure in publishing
the same.

A cyclone visits wilkes Barre.

A cyclone struck the Wyoming
Valley last Tuesday afternoon Aug.
18th about S O'Clock and wrought
terrible devastation in the city of
Wilkes Barre. A number of lives
were lost and the great wonder is
that the list was not largely in
creased. Immense buildings were
unroofed and small structures were
entirely demolished and the streets
filed with flying timber and debris
of every character. The scene after
the cyclone was terrible. The loss
|it is said will reach nearly halt
million dollars.

TURN OUT AND VOTE.

The Republican party has lost many a
battle for the inexcusable reason that the
membership of the party has not fully
turned out and voted The citizen who de-
sires the success of the party ticket, and
neglects to vote and to do something in
the way ofinducing others to vote, really
helps the opposition. The Democrats wish
for nothing better than that goodly
number of Republicans should be so busy
that they will neglect to come to the polls
on election day.
Let Republicans to-day go to the polls
without a solitary exception. 1t is duty
TO the party and an obligation of good
citizenship. He who neglects to deposit a
ballot on election day, should not be heard
in municipal matters, nor should he
utter word of complaint if the admins
tration of public affairs is not conducted to
suit him. In the election of to-day there
is especial reason why no man should ne
glect to cast ballot. The city of Sacra-
mento is in need of competency, experience
and fitness in Office, and in the executive
Office for the last three years it has had it
so fully that it is the part of common wis
dom to retain the incumbent in position.
Mayor Gregory has been a thoroughly
good Trustee. He has learned now so well
what is the need of the city, the direction
in which economy, reform and public i'm
provement can be prosecuted that to retire
him would be grieyous mistake. For in
municipal management, when we secure a
good and thoroughly competent official,
we should retain him; when that official
is one of the party of our political faith
the obligations of the partisan and citizen
combine and make it imperative upon the
Republican that he should not only vote
but be seen at the polls, giving his ticket
the support of his presence and his labors.
Let there be no absentee vote,e there
fore, to-day, on the part of Republicans.
They cannot afford to see the Board of
Trustees made solidly Democratic; they
cannot afford to see competency, expert
ence and fitness put aside for inexperience
and the negative qualities of easy-going
and amiability in an opposing candidate,
to say nothing of the doubtful capacity of
the Democratic nominee to take hold of
the city administration with that vigor
and fearlessness so essential to success, and
the welfare of the city and her people.

FREEMAN M,CoMBER.

Death of Former Sacramentan in santa
Barbara County.
The Santa Barbara Press of Sunday last
announces the death there of Freeman Nc
Comber, former resident and official of
this county. Deceased was born in o.
wego county, New York, in 1881, and came
to California from Ohio in 1852 He first
engaged in teaming on the Georgetown
route, and in farming on the Natoma ranch
in this county, making his home near Fol-
som. In 1856 he Was elected Public Ad-
ministrator of Sacramento county, being
the only successful candidate on his ticket,
which Office he held for two years. For
eleven years he made Sacramento county
his home, and in 1868 he moved to Lake
Tahoe. where he met and married Miss
Ellen D. Schorup, whom he survived but a
short five months. For many years he was
prominently identified with the Lake Ia
hoe and Carson region. dealing in timber
and timber lands at times, and at other
times in the coal, wood and lime business
in Carson City.
In 1884, by reason of his wife's delicate
health, he sold out his interests in Carson
and thereabouts and sought the more
genial climate of Southern California.
Here he engaged largely in the purchase of
land and in its development. For several
years his home was in San Diego county
Here he was one of the founders of the
Murietta Colony, was President of the
Temecula Land and Water Company, Su-
perintendent of the Paubo Land and Water
Company, and held other positions of trust
and influence. He was heavily interested
in 0ceanside lands and in the prosperity
and development of that thriving town. In
1887 he went to Santa Barbara to make his
home, retaining, however, his interests in
San Diego county. He was at one time
President of the Santa Barbara Transfer
Company, and identified with many other
local enterprises.
Freeman McComber was a man of un-
doubted probity, of kindly disposition,
but firm character. He died loved by all
who knew him.

READY TO HEAR THEM.
Congress Prepared to Receive the Cal
fornia Rivers Committee.

Congress Prepared to Receive the Cali
fornia Rivers Committee.
The Executive Committee of the Califor-
MIA Ryer Improvement Convention have
received telegram from Senator Hearst,
in Washington, saying.
"The delegation should come on at once, as
time is growing short"
And another telegram from Congressman
Mckenna, saying:
''The Committee on Rivers and Harbors will
hear the California delegation on their arrival" :"
There will be joint meeting in San
Francisco, next Wednesday evening, of the
Executive Committee and the delegation
selected to go to Washington, when details
will be arranged, and it is expected that
the delegation will leave for Washington
the present week.
The ten representatives to the River Con-
vention from Yuba and Sutter counties
have held several meetings to consider the
important matter OF sending the delegation
to Washington, and reached the conclu-
sion that the Feather river should have a
representative in the delegation as well as
the Sacramento and San Joaquin and San
Francisco harbor Last Thursday they
sent a committee to this city to confer with
DR.. G. NJ. Dixon, Chairman of the Execu-
| tive Committee, and proposed to name an
additional delegate to represent Yuba and
Sutter counties, his expenses TO be paid by
said counties, and provided such sction
would receive the Endorsement of the
Executive Committee.
They were assured that such action
would be heartily indorsed, and yesterday
DR.. Nixon received official notice that they
had selected Hon. George Ohleyer, of Sut-
ter county, as their representative.
Mr.. Ohleyer was previously selected by
| the Executive Committee as one of the
alternates. He is man of large expert
ence, and will be strong and valuable ad-
dition to the delegation, which will now
| consist of six well-known influential men,
who Lave the interests of the California
rivers at heart, and will work zealously
and unitedly with our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Washington to secure the
| Special Commission and appropriation
asked for by the River Convention.
1t is sincerely hoped that nothing will
occur to prevent the full consummation of
| the plans now being developed by the
Executive Committee, for if they are sue
cessful-and they are very sanguine of
securing the appointment of a Commission
California will enter upon a new era of
prosperity which will ere long astonish
many of our citizens, who, under the pres
ent deplorable condition of our rivers, are
disposed to be far from sanguine of the
fntnre

THE strength of Mr.. Hart for City At
torney is such that everybody comedies his
election. But there is danger in over
confidence. Because we believe that Mr..
Hart will be elected is no reason for trad.
ing off any votes he should have in order
to capture by barter few Democratic
votes. The thing to do is to give Mr..
Hart his full vote. There is no need
whatever to trade for him, or TO trade of
any of his support. Trading, as we have
elsewhere said, is an ofiense, anyhow, and
voters who are self-respecting will not in
dulge in it, but obey the laws and not be
guilty of dealing in bribery considerations
of any character.

Mr.. CoMsToCK voluntarily to citizen
of another city, indorsed Mr.. Gregory as
one of the best and most energetic Mayors
the city of Sacramento ever had. That
being the opinion of the Democratic nom
inee at a time when he was not nominee,
it Is unlikely that as an honest man he
has changed his views. 1t will, therefore,
be in harmony with Mr.. Comstock's advice
to vote for Mr.. Gregory.
