THE DEAD KNOW.

But we must not detain the two gar
lands any longer from the pillows of
those who for a quarter ola century
have been PROSTATE in dreamless slum-
Der, never oppressed by summer sheat
or chilled by winters cold. Both gar
lands are fragrant. Both have in them
the sunshine and the shower of this
springtime. The colors Of both were
mixed by him who mixed the blue Of the
sky, and the gold of the sunset, and
the green of the grass, and the whiteness
OF the snow crystal. And | do not care
which you put over the northern grave
and which over the southern grave.

None Of them will know it. Your De-

PLUCKY VALENCIA.
HE FACED A DRUNKEN MAN AND A
BIG REVOLVER.
A Brave Police Ofaoer Who Got the Man
He Went After and Drunken Would
Be Murdsrer--A Close Call.

Police Officer Valencia yesterday added
another to his already many exciting ad-
ventures since he has been on the force,
and this time came out first best in the
affair.
Valencia had been sent to Upper Main
street to serve warrant on Albert Spen-
Ger, charged with battery. He found
Spencer, and was about to take him in
custody, when G. A. Kent, drunken
friend of Spencer's among the bystand-
ers, stepped up to him and said in a
bullying tone of voice, "Turn loose that
man."
The officer said he wasn't there for
that purpose, and started to bring his
prisoner to the station, when Kent fol-
lowed after him, crying out in maudlin
rage, Turn him loose, you - -, or
I'll kill YOU" Suiting the action to the
word. Kent pulled out an immense re-
volver and pointed it at Valencia, who
then released his prisoner and started
for his assailant. Kent backed off a
distance of perhaps twenty feet, and
fired, the ball fortunately failing Of its
mark.
He snapped the hammer q second
time, but the weapon failed to go off,
and before he could use it again the
pistol was seized by Sam Haskins, the
colored politician, who managed to
catch the descending hammer of the
weapon on the fleshy part of his hand,
where it inflicted small but painful
wound. Together he and Valencia dis
armed Kent, and after hunting up Spen-
Ger, who by this time had run away to
hide, the two were taken to the station
and locked up, Spencer for battery and
his friend for interference with an Off
Ger and assault to kill.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres 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 $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 16O 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 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 q period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are
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-
pecia!ly adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement viii prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50
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 large
holding 70" the purpose of promoting it's set
tlement i'll smaller quantities and its devotion
