Maj. Mckinley for Governor of Ohio.

The Republicans of Ohio held their state
convention on Wednesday and in great
wave of enthusiasm nominated Hon. VIM.
Mckinley, jr., for governor by acclamation.
The nomination can hardly be said to have
been the work of the convention, for the
convention did no more than to ratify the
well-known wish of every Ohio Republican.
Speeches were made by eX-Gov Foraker,
Senator Sherman and Secretary Foster, and
Maj Mckinley made brilliant speech,
sound to the core with true Republcanism,
in accepting the nomination. Words like
these from his speech have a ring which
stirs the blood in every Republicans veins !;
I'VE avoid no issue we shirk no responsibility,
we run away from no party doctrine, we apollo
gze for no public measure of our making, and are
ready to defend our acts against assault from any
quarter. We do not invoke our past record as
our only warrant for the confidence OF the people
although we turn to it with pride and satisfaction
There is not page of il we would obliteHte if
we could, nor is there line which any lover of
freedom or mankind would strike from its pages. "
The platform adopted broadly reafiirms
the party loyalty to the principle of protec-
ton, and declares for sound money, the
protection of labor, the protection and en-
couragement of the farming interests, and
the protection of our people from vicious
and criminal immigration.

Ballot reform has triumphed in Illinois,
the bill upon which the two branches of
the legislature had disagreed, and which
had been sent to conference committee,
having been reported back by that com
mttee in such form as to secure adoption
by an overwhelming majority both in the
house and senate. The bill contains all
the essentials of the Australian system.

Mountain Apples.

Eleven hundred two-year-old appel
trees from Rocklin passed through town
Tuesday for the Tuttle Brothers, ranch,
seven miles above Georgetown. The
trees made two loads, one driven by w.
E. Tuttle, the other by T. M. Clayton.
Some time ago few hundred trees were
planted on the Tuttle place, with highly
favorable results. All that portion of the
middle slope of the Sierras reaching from
Georgetown to Volcanoyille, Onion Val
ley and Slab Creek, with an altitude of
from 5000 to 1000 feet, is destined to be-
come great apple-growing region.
Here and there are small orchards
planted when early-day mining camps
were prosperous, from which no better
apples on the coast find ready sale at
highest figures in the markets below.
Several parties have begun planting
orchards in this region. The pear and
plum also grow to great perfection; and
the peach, strange as it may appear, does
very well as high up as 1900 feet altitude.
Last season we ate peaches grown at

IhIouSh ny NceuucSaslSs
Many of the members of the Legisla-
ture spent Sunday at their homes, but
returned to the city last night, and both
the Senate and Assembly will resume
their sessions at the usual hour this morn
ing.
The more important measures to be
disposed of are the appropriation and
county government bills, both of which
have gone from the Senate to the Assem-
bly,.
The Senate made large number of
amendments to the appropriation bill, in
each instance increasing the items as
passed by the Assembly. The latter
body on Saturday refused to concur in
the same, and conference committees
were appointed.
These committees were in session sew
eral hours yesterday, during which the
amendments We're discussed, but no
definite agreement was arrived at, and
they will meet again this morning. One
member OF the committee is, however,
credited with the statement that the S440,- :
900 increase by the Senate will be re-
duced some S230,
AT l:30 P. NJ. the Joint Investigating
Committee will resume its inquiry into
the matters of the manuscripts found in a
waste basket in the library last week.
There are but few more witnesses to be
examined and the committee will proba-
bly, conclude its labors to-day.
During the time required to reach final
action on the appropriation and county
government bills all the minor measures
that deserve passage-and they are very
few-will doubtless be acted upon, and
there seems to be an impression that the
Legislature will be able to adjourn sine die
by tomorrow night.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 12o, 16o and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay.
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spopd between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and espe-
cially adapted for fruit-3rowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
81 90 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
hone-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy
of accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of q large
holding for the purpose of promoting Its set
tlenlent in smaller quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry.

ONE ON THE PREACHER.
He Was Practical Joker Himself and
1t Served Him Right.


Rev. Samuel g. Smith, of st. Paul, is
noted not only for pulpit oratory but for
practical works, says the Pioneer Press,
He holds, it is said, that one atom of prac-
teal christianity is worth world of mere
piety. He is ever ready to step out Of the
pulpit and take hand in the enforcement
of the law. He is himself keen in the use
of ridicule and as keenly sensitive to its
shafts when it is turned upon him. He
is, therefore, ever on the alert to avoid be-
ing victimiZed in any way. The follow
ing joke concerning him is going the
rounds:
Some time before w. p Murray ceased
to be City Attorney DR.. Smith happened
in upon him one afternoon, leading a boy
of u years by the hand.
"Mr. Murray, l want you to have -,
who keeps saloon down here on Fourth
street, arrested. He gave this boy a
drink"
"Wen! ahem!" was the first character
istic utterance of Mr.. Murray, with a
winlking, twitch or two of the head and
brush or SO of the hand over the head
and face. ''What time were you in that
saloon, lad?'' quizZed the attorney.
jest KEN out minnit ago." replied
the boy modestly.
Hum; yes, yesi How did you come to
go in?"
Don't know. Jest happened tor
"Gave you drink, did they2'
"Yaas."
And the boy wiped his nose with an
upward stroke of the palm of his hand,
while DR.. Smith looked on with an ex-
preston of satisfaction. Mr.. Murray
scratched his head minute and pro-
ceeded:
'Aheml Well! What did they give
you to drink"
''Glass of water" replied the youth,
calmly.
''Why didn't you tell me that?" shouted
the divine, turning very red in the face.
You didn't asked me, sir,' returned
the youth demurely.

Their Condition and Prospects.
The State Agricultural Society, in CO.

sent the first weekly crop bulletin to
General Greely, the Chief Signal Officer,
at Washington, D. c., on Saturday, which
reads as follows:
The temperature and sunshine during
the past week were above the normal in
all portions of the State. The grain and
fruit prospects were never better. The
rainfall was below the normal all over
the central and southern portion of the
State, and about normal in the northern
portion.
The following crop telegram from
Southern California was received by
Sergeant Barwick from the observer at
Los Angeles:
Cloudiness prevailed, with light show
ers, during the fore part of the week. The
latter part was clear and warm, which
has been decided benefit to all vegeta-
ton. The temperature was above the
average, and the rainfall below.
Grass and grain are doing well. The
first planting of sugar beets are coming
