e. III. Clough's Whereabouts Unknown
to His Friends,

to His Friends.
A RECoRD-UNIoN reporter yesterday
made inquiry among Oakland people
now here and the correspondents of the
Bay papers, regarding the disappearance
of E. 81. Clough, the well-known journal
ist, and could learn nothing concerning
him.
Senator Dargie said it was true that Mr..
Clough had not been seen in Oakland
since he disappeared from sight in this
city, and that his friends were becoming
quite anxious about him.
Another gentleman said that Clough
had taken seriously to heart published
statement that he had palmed off on the
Oakland Times, as original, clipping
from another paper, and disappeared the
next day. AT all events, about that time
he endeavored to get pecuniary aid from
some of his friends here, but whether or
not he succeeded, is not known. He has
dropped completely out of sight, but an
intimate friend of his stated last evening
that there was no reason to suppose that
anything serious had happened to the
somewhat erratic journalist.

Mrs. Fosters Condition.

Mrs. Foster. the elderly lady who was
run over by street car at Tenth and N
streets on Thursday night, had her leg
amputated on Saturday afternoon and
was taken to the Ridge Home. No
change in her condition has taken place,
but she is doing as well as could be ex-
pected.
She says the driver of the car-Mr.
Winston-was not to blame for the acci-
dent. She sent for him on Friday and
assured him of that fact. 1t seems that
at the moment the accident occurred he
had turned to see if some passenger had
left the car, and just as the horse started
up it collided with Mrs. Foster, knocking
her down. The night was very dark, and
the driver did not see the lady, nor did
she see the horse and car.
She was resting easily last evening,

A Citizen Urges the Legislature to
Help Preserve 1t.
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: There is a bill
before both houses of the present Legis-
lature which should be taken out of it's
regular order and passed as case of ur-
gency, if ever bill was allowed that con-
sideration, and that is the one making
an appropriation for the restoration of the
Sutter Fort. This is no local or sectional
measure-it belongs to the whole COM
monwealth. There is not a brick within
its ancient walls but which is identified
with every step this great State has made
since its inception; and to pass this bill
would be but befitting monument for
all time to that noble band of men and
women who left home and friends in their
far-off Eastern homes to risk their lives
and fortunes that they might build up an
empire on this western slope, and thereby
leave a heritage to those who would come
after them.
There should not be one dissenting
vote on this bill, as much may be eX-
pected from the generous spirit in which
it is treated in inducing pioneers of
wealth in this and other States to vie
with each other in making endowments
to this one spot of all others so dear to
them.
The small appropriation asked for
should be available as soon as possible,
as work should be commenced at once on
the old fort proper, as it is fast crumbling
away, and we should be up and doing.

Peter Rossi's dive on L street, between
Third and Fourth, was the scene of
another stabbing af1ray yesterday morn
ing. James Barry, known to the police
as ''in-horn' gambler, and Andrew
Sieke, a habitue of L street, were the
participants.
They have not been on friendly terms,
and when they met in the dive quarrel
ensued. Barry struck Sieke in the face,
and they grappled and rough-and-
tumble fight took place. When the men
We're separated, Barry found that he had
been stabbed in the stomach.
Officer Gibson heard of the affair and
took both men to the police station. City
Physician Nichols was sent for to attend
to Barry's wound, but the latter would
not permit the doctor to examine it. The
weapon used was a small pocket-knife,
and the wound did not amount to any
thing.
Barry says he does not believe Sieke
intended to cut him, and Sieke claims
that he stabbed his assailant accidentally,
having had the knife in his hand before
the fight commenced.

Fishing on the river is at its ebb. Very
light run of salmon is the report so far.
The, fishermen, like the farmers, want
more rain.
There has been some talk of building a
telephone or telegraph line from Rio
Vista to Isleton. Already steps are be-
ing taken to extend the telephone line
from Walnut Grove to Isleton.
Work is progressing well on the extern
sion ofthe telephone line to Gait, and last
Tuesday District Superintendent Kearns
left for Elk Grove to ascertain whether
the company would be justified in ex-
tending the line to that town.

More Fruit and Less Grain.

I'm looking over the annual report of
the State Fruit Shippers Union, we
find," says the Gait Gazette, that the
little town of Florin last season shipped
-fifty-nine cars of fruit East, Elk Grove
one, and Gait none. In proportion to the
lands, Elk Grove should have been able
to ship 150 carloads, and Gait at least 500.
We can expect no great thrift or growth
in Calf until our farmers go into the fruit
and grape business, and the sooner they
find this out the better it will be for them
and all concerned

Net plcasea WITH Il.


The Republicans don't like
the result of the recent elections
in Iowa and Massachusetts,. 1t
looks too much like they are
loosing control of two of their
former strongholds and they are
not pleased worth a cent. But
if they will look at the matter
calmly and honestly they will
soon arrive az the conclusion
that they are to blame for it..
The policy of the Republican
party is not calculated to give
it lasting place in the affec-
tions of the people.
When we turn to the history
of Massachusetts, we find that
Democratic Governors have not
been numerous, and the re-elec-
tion of one for a second term is
something that has never before
been witnessed by the present
generation.
1t is no doubt a fact that Gov.
Russell's reelection is due to a
great extent to his personal pop
ularity and spotless record, but
it is also largely due to the fact
that he was fighting for prin-
ciples that met with the appro-
val of the people of the old Bay
State. The contest was made
upon party issues. Both parties
went into the campaign with
energy and a determination to
win. The debates were made
by leading party men upon prin-
ciples which divide the two
parties and after a hard fought
battle Gov. Russell was victori-
Gus.
The thoughtful people of this
country are becoming tired Of
paying a high protective stariff.
Tariff, limited to the expenses
OF the government economically
administered, is all that strikes
an honest man as being just.
All tariff above and beyond this
is ali unjustifiable and unpar-
donable oppression Il is taking
from the pockets of the toilers
and wealth. producers their hard
earnings, by a fallacious pre-
text, that amounts to nothing
less than robbery. The people
do not object to paying the
legitimate expenses OF the gov.
ernment, but since the days
when they kicked against the
unjust taxation of the mother
country, they have been opposed
to oppressive and burdensome
As long as the Republican
