A Common Sense Remedy.

In the matter of curatives what YOU

while you continue to do yours-a remedy
that will give you no inconvenience nor
Interfere with your business. Such a
remedy is ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs.
These plasters are not an experiment:
they have been in use for over thirty
years, and their value has been attested
by the highest medical authorities, as
well as by testimonials from those who
have used them. They require no change
of diet and are not affected by wet or
cold. Their action does not interfere with
labor or business; you can toll and yet be
cured while hard at work. They are SO
pure that the youngest, the oldest, the
most delicate person of either sex can use
them with great benefit.
Beware of limitations, and do not be
deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for
ALLcoCK's, and let no solicitation or ex-
planation induce you to accept a substi-
tute.

COLONEL GUTHRIE'S GOOSE.
1t is Said to Have Cost Him a Cart.
Wheel Dollar.
The Commander of the First Regiment
Takes a Whack With His Rifle
at Gray Gander.

While awaiting the opening of the
target-shooting at the military ranges
yesterday morning Colonel Guthrie
wandered over on the American River
bridge with his rifle to see if he could not
find something animate on which to try
his skill.
The Colonel's desire was gratified.
From the bridge he saw a flock of geese
'1oafing" in a far-away eddy of the river.
Here was the chance of his life to make a
record, so Colonel Guthrie rested his
military long-range rifle, with a regula-
ton six-pound trigger-pull, across the
railing Of the bridge. adjusted the sights
and drew bead on goose.
The Colonel scorned to take a general
average shot at the whole flock, so he Sc
lected this particular goose, it being the
quietest one of the lot and Offering fine
opportunity for a display of marksman-
ship.
After he had spent about fifteen min
utes in drawing a bead' on the goose
the musket belched forth its leaden bolt,
and the echo of the explosion rolled up
the channel of the river, breaking the
stiffness OF the morning air and startling
all the polecatS and coons that lay in the
brush sleeping OF the effects of their
chicken debauch of the preceding night.
AS soon as the smoke rolled away and
the atmosphere became partially cleared,
the Colonel saw his goose again. 1t was
| spread out on the water, and then he
knew he had made a center shot. The
goose was too far away for the knight OF
the trigger to see his eye, SO he aimed at
about where he thought the eye ought to
be, and took off its head.
ha Cn1nnol 1, {
that he had got his goose he looked for
the others, but they had vamosed-not
flown away, as he supposed-they had
simply waddled up the bank and into
the brush.
Colonel Guthrie is something of swim
mer, having learned the art at Santa
Cruz, and it is supposed he swan out
into the water and retrieved the game, for
it is quite certain the latter did not swim
to him. At all events he carried the
goose in triumph back to the range and
proudly exhibited the headless trophy to
the bull's-eye perforators.
Some of them smiled, but said moth
ing, and their superior officer failed to
catch on" He did, however, when he
showed it to the proprietor of the ranch
and the latter handed it to his little boy,
saying:
Here, Johnny, take this to your ma.
| Tell her she is one goose short and ask
| her how much she wants from Colonel
Guthrie in the way OF damages"
The boy soon returned and said: "Ma
says the goose was worth a dollar.''
Possibly this little idcident had some
thing 10 do with the big order for beer
| that came in from the front.

Pete Schumann GrappleS With a Gar
roter, But Let's Go Again.
Some time after dark on Saturday night
a police whistle was blown repeatedly.
and the cries of a frightened woman were
heard in the vicinity Of Third and l.
streets. The attention of the popular
steward of Damm's restaurant was at
tracted, and he went gallantly to the
rescue and found a lady desperately
clutching a man, who, she shouted had
robbed her.

friends as "Pete,'' promptly grappled the
villain, and a desperate struggle took
place.
ing the fellow, but the latter drew a knife
biC enough for cleaver, and swore he
would open Pete up like a dried halibut,
SO he let go, intending to draw a revolver.
AS soon as the fellow was released he
started off on run, and when Pete reached
for his revolver he remembered that he
didn't have one-never did have one, and
couldn't shoot one If he had 1t.
Pete Immediately started after the fugi-
tive and made pretty good time for halt
block, but as he is not sprlnter, he was
distanced.
He then returned to get the particulars
of the affair from the fair one he had res
cued, but she, too, had disappeared III the
dark. The affair was reported to the
police. but no clue was obtained.

From G street.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: The daily papers
lately are full of articles pro and con
which of the two companies should get
the franchise to run cars on G street, but
one phase is entirely ignored, and that is
that people living on that street or north
of it would have to pay two fares to 90
south of q street, for instance to the Art
Gallery, Oak Park or City Cemetery, if
the Trustees should reconsider their de-
cision given last Monday, as Mr.. Henry
declared at last Trustees meeting he
would transfer passengers only on five
cent basis. and the other company did
not express a willingness to carry them
for nothing.
l am as anxious as anybody to have the
Folsom Water Power Company come
into town, but there are other streets at
the last named company's command. Let
them take II street, which is quite as de-
sirable as G. street, or any other street
they desire, and we would then have real
competition and the north side of town
would be treated fairly.

The Gait Republican Club was organ
lied in that village last Saturday night in
blaze of enthusiasm. The meeting was
called to order by c. G. Clements, who
| introduced Major w. II. Ennis. and the
latter, after a ringing Republican speech,

The neat little opera-house was beauti-
! fully decorated with flowers, ferns and
| flags, and was filled TO its utmost with an
audience of ladies and gentlemen.
Mr.. Houghton, on taking the chair,
| made a speech replete with good COM
! nonsense on the policy of the Repub-
| lican party, and laudatory Of the county
ticket. Though young man, he showed
| himself we'll Versed in National issues
| and the needs of the county, and dis
played elocutionary ability of high or
! der.
| At the conclusion of the Presidents
| speech he introduced Hon. E. G. Hart,
| candidate for the State Senate from this
county, who delivered one of his charac-
| teristic otf-hand speeches. touching on
| all topics from the tariff to the babies-in-
arms in the audience, and kept his hear
| ers in good humor between intentneSS
and laughter.
| Mr.. Hart was succeeded by Major
| Frank d. Ryan, candidate for reelection
as District Attorney, who delivered a
terse speech, replete with logical argu-
| mentS.
The next speaker was Eben Owen,
candidate for the Assembly from the
| Twenty District. Mr.. Owen is a
| young man, and, as he himself said, "a
| that would be credit to many man
more experienced in public affairs. One
neat expression in his speech was this:
! ''The eloquence of oratory is not the out
come of life on farm, but rather that of
rugged experience of the world and in
public life"
When Mr.. Owen gets this rugged ex-
perience'' he will be an orator of more
| than usual effectiveness.
In response to loud calls for "Bilr'
Rhoads, candidate for County Clerk, that
gentleman promptly responded in SEN
sible, practical talk, interspersed with nu-
merous witticisms. which caused almost
continual merriment among his hearers.
Hon. j. G. Brusie next spoke, and his
address was masterful exposition of the
Republican policy of protection and re-
ciprocity, and kept every person in the
audience close and interested listener
| for over an hour.

Force Yesterday.

fOFC0 1eSCerUay.
The number of sportsmen who left this
city on Saturday and yesterday to get the
first "whack" at the ducks and quails
would make a good-sized regiment. Most
Of those who had to return in time for
their business or labor this morning
came in so late last night that nothing
could be learned as to their good or i'll
success.
The few quail shooters seen did not do
well. They found plenty of birds in the
foothills, but the weather was insuffer-
ably hot and the ground dry as brick
kiln, while the brush and timber were in
full foliage, affording the birds ample
protection.
The fact is, quail shooting is not at it's
best until after few good storms and
several heavy frosts. Then the birds
leave the dark gulches and secluded,
shady spots and get out upon the ridges
IN the sunshine. Just now they prefer
the impenetrable chaparral thickets,
where they dance about and poke fun at
the shooters in the open ground who cam
not get to them.
Down among the marshes the duck
shooters were nearly as numerous as the
ducks, and the probability is that some
good bags were made.
