OLEOMARGARINE.

ductiOn Here.

Oleomargarine, that curious compound of
fats and oils, is again in the market a con-
Signment having arrived here yesterday
from Kansas City. A few years ago there
was great commotion in this city, when it
was learned that tons of this substitute for
butter were being brought here from the
East and sold at the different stores as the
genuine article.
Large quantities of the commodity. too,
were made here, factory being established
for its manufacture. The daily papers de-
voted columns after columns of space to the
matter at the time, telling the different vile
ingredients that entered into the compost
ton of the article.
Finally the State Legislature took the
matter up and passed stringent laws re-
garding the making or selling of the stuff.
From that time the sales of oleomargarne
dwindled down. The factory here found its
custom gone and very little was brought
here from the East. and it is stated or good
authority not pound has been disposed of
for over a year
When the sale of oleomargarne was at its
helght. an association of dealers in legiti-
mate dairy produce, called the Dairymen's
froduce Exchange, was formed to look out
Tor their interests and to see that the laws
regarding "bull butter" as it was called.
were enforced. The exchange has not held
meeting for about four years, but, now
tnat oleomargarine is coming in again, will
probably be revived, One of the members
said yesterday:
1T may be said that the exchange is de-
funct, but If there is much oleomargarine
brought here it will Gene to life again, as

A very pretty young woman who goes
under the name of Mrs. Emma GRAY, and
who has been cutting wide swath at
Olympia, left for California last Saturday.
She has told several persons that her right
name was Emma Holman, and that she is
daughter of Congressman Holman of In

true or not, she has shown letters to which
Holman'S name is signed and which ad-
dress her as ''my dear daughter" and
conclude from your affectonate father"
She came here about two weeks ago and
gave it out that she was seeking divorce.
She first registered at the Olympia Hotel,
but Proprietor Mason soon had reason to
suspect her and requested her to leave. She
was at the Carlton House one day and the
second morning received her bill with these
words in red ink at the bottom: After 2
o'clock your room will be vacant"
Mrs. Gray made it expensive for several
of the boys" while she was here. Her
plan was to send her card to victim and
invite him TO call at her room. As soon as
man was seated she locked the door and
withdrew the key and threatened to sum-
mon the bell-boy and cry for help unless the
money was forthcoming. 1t is said that a

In recent issue of the Oakland Tribune
a writer presents the following on the sub
ject OF women as farmers and orchardists:
A CALL editorial writer, commenting
upon the published assertion of lady re-
siding at Niles. this county, That "there is
no possible reason why women should not
become as expert fruit-growers as men,"
asks why, then, do not more women become
orchardists? why do they let men mo-
nopolize so profitable an occupation, giving
women employment at rates of wages
which barely keep them alive?" "There
are other things" says this writer, "women
can do as well as men, so far as reasons why

Loose Supervision in the City Receiving
Hospital.
Alice c. Fuller, the girl who tried to COM
NIT suicide on Wednesday by drowning,
left the Receiving Hospital yesterday morn
lug under rather peculiar circumstances.
At late hour on Wednesday night the I'M
happy girl was visited by her mother and
bitter words passed between them, and soon
after the mothers departure the latter sent
dry suit of clothing to her hayward off
spring.
TO the messenger who brought the clothes
Alice exhibited the card of an Examiner re-
porter. She said that this young man would
take her out of the place so that the police
could not send her back to the Magdalen
Asylum. About midnight the reporter who
had given the girl the card paid her visit,
and an hour later they were both missing,
and the suppositon is that he assisted her
to escape.
The accused newspaper man denies that
he had anything to do with the girls dis
appearance. He says that he merely left
his card, with the promise that lie would
assist her in getting employment. He claims
that after he left the hospital Alice was
visited by two girls, who had been her com
panions at the Magdalen Asylum, and that
she probably went off with them.
Officer Anthony made a search for the
missing girl yesterday, but was unable to
discover any trace of her whereabouts. 1t
Is probable that, to escape another term in
the asylum. she left the city With her former
