OYEZ !! OYEZ!
ALL YE HEADS OF CITIES AND
COUNTIES ATTEND.
The Governor Wants Everybody to Meet
to Devise Means for Californ las Proper
Representation at the Worlds Fair.

SACRAMENTO, May Ex-Governor
Waterman issued an address today to
the heads of cities and counties, calling
upon them to take such action as will
prominently bring to the attention of
their constituencies the Importance of
California being properly represented at
the worlds fair. He recommends that
the people of the various localitie be
called together to devise means of
accomplishing the greatest good to the
state.
The governor says: 81 reiterate here
the remark made In my address
to the people OF the state
some time since in regard to this
matter, that an exhibition at Chicago
will be Californias opportunity but she
will lose that opportunity unless her
representative men come to the front and
present these matters for consideration.
1T is absolutely necessary that you in
duce the people of your respective locali-
ties to interest themselves in the welfare
Of the state. l do not desire to be in
trusiye in this matter, but my interest
in seeing California successful in the
undertaking mentioned prompts me TO
be more than active in arousing atten-
tion to what is exactly needed in the
premises, and l therefore recommend
you to call the people of your localities
together and take such action as, when
concentrated as whole, will accomplish
a great wolk which will be so beneficial
to the state OF California"

DEPENDENT PENSIONS.
The Senate Refuses to Accept the Nor
rill Substitute Bill.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Davis,
with the unanimous concurrence of the
other members of the senate pensions
committee, today submitted report
recommending that the senate do not
agree to the amendments made by the
house to the senate dependent pension
bill. They announce their determina-
ton MOTTO rgree to the house bill under
any considerations. The bin as it passed
the senate was a dependent pension
measure identical to that vetoed by
President Cleveland the house amended
the bill by passing as a substitute the
Morrill, bill, which is both dependent
and service pension bill.
1t is the opinion of the senate COM
mittee that it is the duty of the govern
ment before entering upon any other
pension legislation, to provide for the
needs OF the disabled and dependent
soldiers in the most liberal manner pos
sible. The senate bill is framed upon
this theory. The service pension, they
claim, is a matter which should not be
involved with the disability bill.
Estimates prepared by the adjutant-
generals Office show that the approx
mate aggregate cost of the service pen
sion, upon the basis of 63 years as the
age limit, will be 81, 1882, ,O90,52 Upon
the basis of 60 years, the cost will be
81 1888, 100, 9,S20; of this amount $1,079,-
617,0 ,024 must be paid before the end Of
the year 1895, and the average annual
payment of which will be SAL 1923, 1872.
These estimates are materially greater
than those of the house committee; but
the senate committee adopted them be-
cause they considered them based on
valid reasons, and because experience
has shown that pension estimates have
heretofore invariably fallen below the
actual COST 1t is the committees 8
opinion that whenever it is deemed wise
to inaugurate a system of service pen
sions, it should be done for the benefit
of all living soldiers who were honorabIy
discharged, and that the rate of pension
should be decided according to the
length of service.

Theory of Insomnia.

Insomnia is most often found among
brain workers, whose brain activity
causes the flow of too great an amount
of blood to the head. The nerves con-
trolling the contraction of the blood
cells through WEAKNESS fail to perform
their duty, and temporary passive con-
gestion is established, which effectually
prevents sleeping the early part of the
night. The victim should lie with the
head raised very high with pillows.
Frequently the sufferer who has
counted himself off into dreamland after
hours of misery is awakened toward
morning again, and sleep seems more.
hopeless than ever. This awakening is
due usually to the sudden and violent
contracting of these malicious little
nerves who fail to perform their
duty in the early part of the
night, and wakefulness is caused
by lack OF blood in the brain.
1t requires strength to sleep, and this
burning attack of wakefulness is usually
relieved by cup of beef tea, or a glass
OF cold water may refresh you, and set
the blood again in the right direction

VERNON, La, May 13.-Two Mormon
elders, hailing from Utah, have been
tramping through Washington and
Holmes counties, distributing their re-
ligious tracts. They had proselyted to
a considerable extent, and especially
among young unmarried females. A
party Of eight women was secured to go
west. Adam King has two daughters in
the party. King and his son, with
neighbors, pursued the party, and cap
turing them, they tied the elders to
trees, and after flogging them unmerci-
fully, loosened them and began firing on
them. The Mormons ran into the
swamps. They have not been seen since,
and undoubtedly perished. The young
women were returned home, and every
one OF them well chastised, their par
ents making each one whip the other.

LONDON, May 13.-The reception to
Stanley in Guildhall today was an
enthusiastic affair. A dense throng
crowded the approaches, and the guests
numbered 1000. The lord mayor pre-
sented to the explorer a gold casket con-
tanning an address from the corporation
OF London. Stanley, in returning thanks,
said Congo might have belonged to Eng
land had Englishmen listened to his
lectures in 1878 and 1884. Belgium was
reaping 100 per cent. England might
have had East Africa; but her journal
lists see everything through glass
darkly. Germany today has the lions
share, and cannot fail to win in the long
run. Wissmann will never hear of such
things as Quakerism, peace societies,
anti-enterprise societies and namby-
pamby journalism-al of which are
clogs to every hearty endeavor made by
England. He hoped the government
would remember the services of his COM
panions, and not chill their young souls
with neglect, which first warped poor

METHODIST BISHOPS HOLD AN I'M

blshop Newman to Hold Conference in
Japan-Donations for the National
University Standardization of Faith.

New YORK, May 13.-The board of
bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church closed it's session today. Assign
ments to fall conferences were made, and
Bishop ?. Newman was appointed to
visit Japan and hold conference there
in July. Regarding the proposed estab-
ishment of a national university in
Washington, resolutions were adopted
commencing the project. The resolu-
tions add: 'It is our judgment that an
endowment Of at least 100000 and
suitable buildings in addition, should be
procured before the proposed university
be put in operation In view of the
local demand in all parts of the
country for emergent needs of already
existing institutions, we must look
chiefly for the proper endowment of the
proposed national university to our
friends to whom God has entrusted large
wealth, who may, by the gift of tens of
thousands or even millions of dollars,
forward this great and noble enterprise.
10 such we earnestly commend the pro-
posed university and it's object, praying
God may open their hearts to the mag
nificent opportunity which is offered to
them Of doing what their less favored
brothers cannot do-of adding their
names to the roll of those who have been
able to do great things for their country
and for their race.

EmbeZZled Bonds,

PHILADELPHIA, May 13.-R. H. M.
Sistare, a member OF the broker firm of
Sistare's Sons, which recently failed,
was arrested in New York today. Rich
ard Hecksher, of this city, on whose
warrant he was arrested, says he has
$4,000 worth of bonds which were em-
bezzled.
The transaction on which Hecksher
laid the basis OF his claim, and the
illegal conversion of bonds and securities
on which the order of arrest was granted,
are alleged to have taken place in the
New York Office of which Sistare and
Clemns had sole charge, and it is stated
that the Philadelphia office had nothing
to do with the matter.

to the different churches for
the afternoon meeting, and closed
the services in the evening in the
