A YOUNG WOMAN SUICIDES.
CHASTITY Discovery In the Woods Near
ColfaX.
Nevada City Herald, May 14th. ]

Nevada City Herald, May 14th.l
Yesterday afternoon, about 4 O'Clock,
some boys who were hunting made a
CHASTITY discovery in the woods about a
mile and half below ColfaX. Their at
tention was attracted to a queer looking
''shack" of brush and boughs, and upon
entering the rude structure a horrible
sight met their startled gaze.
On a bed of pine boughs laid the dead
body of a woman, her face SO mutilated
by rats that atidentification was impossible.
By her side lay an open Bible, and near
by, on the ground, was an empty vial Ia
beled laudanum.
The woman was richly dressed from
head to foot, and everything bespoke re-
finement.
1t was evident that it was case of sui
eide, but as no one has been missed lately,
and as the woman had evidently been
dead for several days, there is an air of
mystery about it all that puzzles the Col
fax authorities.
The woman's clothing, like her face
and hands, was gnawed full of holes by
the wood-rats.
The open Bible showed that the suicide
was premeditated. The poor creature
had evidently offered up final plea for
mercy before taking her own lite.
AS no one is known to be missing from
colfax or vicinity, it is thought the sui
eide left some passenger train at Colfax
and wandered off to die.
The spot where the rude brush hut
stands is off from the railroad, in the
deep woods.
The body is said to be that of q young
woman. 1t is certainly very mystity-
ing case.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand &cres 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, so, 12O, 160 and $50 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 tor three years, st 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 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices TO CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
S10O an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-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 a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Legislative News.

Topeka, KS, February 1.-THE joint
committee of investigation OF the Cot
feyville dynamite charges met and i'm
mediately adjourned this afternoon,
pending the disagreement Of the house
and senate upon the bill rendering any
witness before the committee exempt
from liability to criminal prosecution
by reason of his testimony. The house
amended this bill so as to make it apply
to all investigations whether by joint
committee or by committees of single
house.
Topeka, February l7.-There were no
new bills introduced in the house to-
day. Mr.. Reeder was absent, and the
alliance members saw their chance to
call up the bribery bill, with little dan
ger OF fight over his amendment
which caused so much trouble Satur-
day.
Mr.. Elder called up the bill and
moved its passage. The bill was passed,
81 to /, Heber alone voting no.
The probability is that the senate bill
will not pass without amendments. In
its present form it compels committees
and candidates to file with the county
clerk sworn statement o. campaign eX-
penses, and Furnishes the giving of
money, liquors and cigars by candidates
or others ON election day, by imprison-
ment. The amendment pro-
posed by Mr.. Reeder was
to make secret political societies
amenable to the same rule as political
committees.
The chair announced that the state
printer has refused to print any more
bills until an appropriation Is made.
The house bill to allow women to vote
at all elections and for all officers except
presidential electors, was taken up and
discussed. AS Mr.. S. Stephens said, 1t
was opposed by the lawyers and sup
ported by the theologians. Only
eighty-nine members voted, and the bill
was defeated.
Messrs. Rice Of Bourbon, Douglas,
Showalter, Brown Of Harvey, Reeder
and other republicans believe that the
bill Is unconstitutional. Brown of Har-
vey, however, said that he would vote
for the bill because he believed that II
the ladies knew that the Kansas leRis.
lature wanted them to vote that would
settle the question with them-they
would never want to vote.
Several republicans would favor an
amendment to the constitution covering
this subject. Some voted no, fearing
that II the bill passed Il would invali-
date the next election. Mr.. Neely was
instructed BY his wife and daughter to
vote against the bill. he fol-
lowed his Instructions. The bill re-
ceived but sixty votes, which Is
not . constitutional majority, and the
chair announced that It had not passed.
| Only eighty-nine members voted. Ten
members asked 70 be excused from vot-
Ing because they thought the bin un-
constitutional. There Il q prospect for
decentralization.

Seed Corn For Western Kansas Farmers

Seeu NOTu "CbtCfh NbuHhb
Topeka, February 1.-THE house,
yesterday morning, passed the bill ap.
propriating 100000 to purchase seed
corn for western farmers impoverished
by the crop failures. The original bill
provided for an appropriation of $780,
600, but it was defeated in the senate.
The house bill was referred to the ways
and means committee and the two bod
les got together on compromise. The
vote by which the original bill was de-
ieated was reconsidered in the senate,
and the bill will be passed with the
amendments agreed upon. The origi.
nal bill took the money from the school
fund, but the new bill appropriates
from the general fund. The county
commissioners in each county made ap-
plication for aid to the board Of railroad
commissioners. There are twenty-five
counties in which seed grain will be
furnished, and the needy families are
estimated at 10000. -
