GLENN COUNTY.
Attorney-General Hart Again Hears
on the subject.

Attorney-General Hart Again Heard
on the subject.
Regarding the constitutionality of the
Act creating the County of Glenn out Of
the northern part of Colusa, the opinion of
Attorney General Hart has just been
published. 1t appears from the printed
statement that Mr.. Hart has modified his
views on the subject and is willing that
the constitutionality of the Act shall be
determined. He says:
"The denial of this application is with
out prejudice to the petitioner making
application to bring suit in the name of
the people to contest the constitutionality
of the Act creating Glenn County upon its
face, without reference to other questions.
Il am constrained to make this reserva-
tion by reason of the fact that Judge
Stoney, one Of the counsel for said petit
toner, is positive in his judgment, and
SO expresses it to me, that said Act is con-
stitutional upon its face, without refer
ence TO any fraud in connection with the
election therein mentioned. Such a pro-
ceeding would cost but little and cause
but small inconvenience TO the people of
either county.
81 have therefore decided to reserve the
right to the petitioner to make applica-
tion, as stated, if he and his counsel
should be so advised after considering
this opinion; but such suit should be
brought in some county other than Co.
lusa or Glenn, and subject to the control

HOW THEY BREED.
Grasshopper Eggs Cannot be De-
stroyed by Fire.


stroyed by Fire.
Professor Coquillet, of the entomology
cal section of the Agricultural Depart
ment OF the Government, has been in
vestigating the grasshopper invasion, and
returned TO this city yesterday,
The Professor is credited with the state
ment that the most effective remedy for
the grasshopper plague would be to burn
over the breeding places.
TO do this before the little hoppers
swarm in the early summer, could hardly
do any good, as the females deposit their
eggs nearly an inch below the surface OF
the ground, where fire would not reach
them. The pests might be destroyed by
fire before they arc able to fly, but in the
foOthill and valley sections of California
this procedure would be full of danger,
as fires could not we'll be controlled in
the dry grass.
1t is true that plowing around the fields
might render it safe to start fires, and if
all farmers would do this in the locality
where the hoppers are known to breed,
the young ones might be destroyed.
It is a noticeable fact that grasshoppers
are not bred where the ground is fre-
quently cultivated; therefore, il the vir-
gin plains in the eastern portion of the
plow and harrow, thus exposing the eggs
the grasshopper nuisance in this section
might be disposed of.
At all events, the subject is one or
which farmers and fruit-growers should
obtain all possible light, to the end that
the plague may be wiped out in the neal
future.

pacity Daily.
The rush to the new swimming baths
continues and shows no signs Of abate-
ment. 1t was thought by many that the
extraordinary patronage of the first week
was simply because the baths were a new
thing, and that the people would soon
tire of them; but they appaar to become
more popular every day, especially with
the ladies.
Yesterday, from to p. NJ, was what
is called Ladies' day." and the attendance
of ladies and misses was larger than on
any previous day since the opening of the
institution. The rush was so great that
all the suits were taken, and still all were
not accommodated. The managers an
nounce, however, that a new invoice of
suits viii arrive here to-day, and they
hope in future to be able to supply all.
When the original purchase of suits was
made, it was supposed that majority OF
the ladies would have their own suits.
While many have, there are evidently a
great many others who have not, The
only legitimate complaint that can be
made about the baths is that they are not
large enough TO accommodate the people
who wish to patrOniZe them.
There was also a large number Of ladies
| in attendance last evening. and the tank
was well patronized by both sexes.

John Tenbroek Attempts to Load His
Brain With Bullets.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
John Tenbroek, well-known citizen of
the Fourth Ward, went into little
lunch-house on street, between Second
and Third. He was considerably under
the influence of liquor, and after order
ing his lunch he rested his head on the
table and fired two shots at it.
One of the bullets lodged in the cell
ing, and the other went into the wall be-
side him.
Special officer Goods, who was passing,
ran in and arrested Tenbroek and took
him to the police station, where he was
locked up to prevent him from renewing
his attempt at self-destruetion.
Tenbroek used to be quite prominent

THE OLD STORY.
a Hard-Working Laborer Throws His
Money to the Dogs.

A little transaction in watches is al
legged to have occurred in Mackalls bar
room Of the City Hotel, a place which is
becoming notorious as q dive. A farm
laborer named Robert Hamilton tells the
police that he dropped in there with con-
siderable money In his pocket and bought
from one Mike Davis a gold watch for
$40. He left the watch, he says, in care OF
the bartender until he should be ready to
leave town.
And this is where the little joker comes
in. Hamilton says that when he called
for the watch a package containing a
watch was taken from the safe, and he
placed it in his pocket. Some time after
ward he had occasion to look at, and then
he found that an old brass time-piece had
been palmed of on him.
He sought Davis and told him what
had occurred, but Davis only laughed at
him. Hamilton therefore charges him
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses,

4 Railway Sprinkler.

The opening of the new Inter-Ur Urban
line, between st. Paul and Minneapolis,
has discovered the fact that outside the
cities and while traversing some six miles
or more of the distance which is beyond
the pale of the water mains, on certain
favorable days the dust is found to be a
no small and decidedly unpleasant feature
of an otherwise delightful ride. To
remedy this evil there is almost finished
at the shops of the Minneapolis City Rail-
way giant tank, made of one-eighth inch
boiler iron, and mounted on fiat car
carried on four thirty-six inch wheels.
A piece of four inch steam pipe capped at
each end, and suitably perforated with
small drill holes, rests across the rear
platform. The connecting pipes, of the
same diameter as the cross pipe, connect
it with the tank and insure bountiful
supply of water. It is intended to draw
the tank car behind motor car, and BY
making trip every two hours, the entire
length of the line will be sprinkled in a
round trip of eighty minutes.

Wh00ping Cough.

Common thyme, which was recon
mended in whooping cough three or four
years ago by DR.. S. B. johnson, is re-
garded by DR.. Neovius, who writes a
paper on the subject in Finnish medical
journal, as almost worthy the title of a
specific. During an epidemic of whoop-
ing cough he had ample opportunities of
observing it's effects, and he came to the
conclusion that if it is given early and
constantly it invariably cuts short the
disease in fortnight; the symptoms gen.
orally vanishing in two or three days.
They are, he finds, liable to return if the
thyme is not regularly taken for at least
two weeks. Regarding the dose, he ad-
vises that larger quantity than DR.
Johnson prescribed be taken. He gives
from one ounce and half to six ounces
per diem combined with little marsh
mallow sirup. He never saw an undesira
BILE effect produced, except slight diar.

be used quite fresh.-Ldncet

p6- Ifany proof is needed that educa-
ton does not supply mental powers, but
only strengthens and polishes those which
are furnished according to their capaci-
ties for being operated on, it can be
found in the reflection that among the
hundreds of graduates that will leave
the colleges this or any other year, there
will be the same difference of opinion
about social, political and religious mat
ters that there is in the same number of
people with the most limited educational
advantages. Established usages, exact
rules and statute laws can be taught by
one to another, but when the time comes
to use the individual judgment it is found
that the most complete course of educa-
tion has failed to shape all minds to the
same pattern. And when it is thus made
so plain that man may spend twenty or
more years in schools and colleges and
graduate with high honors, and yet know
no more about the policy of tariff, pro.
hibition, capital punishment or national
finances than those who have only the
simple elements of education, it seems as
if there had been large outlay of time
and money for the amount of exact in.
formation that has been obtained, and
that some system under which something
of a practical nature could be mingled
with the theoretical and classical, would
be partial compensation. And this, too
without sacrificing the general principle

develop the mental powers rather than to
weigh them down with a mere load o
facts which somebody else has aocumu
