OBITUARY.

On Friday night, October 2S, at his home near Forrest City, surrounded by friends and relatives. our friend and fellow citizen. John Ii. Pope. in his 32d year, died. Travelling on his pilgrim age, suddenly he came to the river and crossed over. The community in which he lived is poorer, but richer for his having come. His life an ,unostentatious one but beautiful one, his example of integrity. industry and candor is worthy of imitation. In him were con- cent ated many of those noble traits of character that make men great and cause mankind to regret that their pilgrimage is ended. Having been reared in the community in which he died, he exhibited those noble traits while living that will continue to shine to beckon others on to deeds of useful ness. And while his actions among men have ceased, yet those influences he put in motion will not cease but continue to bless those who initiate his virtues and example. And as he was devoted and true in every other relation of life, so he was in that one upon which depends more than upon all others. the happiness of our race, that of husband and head of a fami- ly. And as such devotion deserved he was blessed with partner in his joys and in his sorrows whose pleasure and pride it ever was nobly to cheer and help him onward in all his efforts and aspirations. How sad it seems that one so loved by all, and just as man hood morn kissed the brow of noon" should be called away from loved ones "to silence and pathetic dust. yet such IS life, we cannot helpit. While grief is the tribute of affection to the mem- ory of departed worth, awe and rever- ence are the acknowledgment of that mysterious after-lane to which death IS but the portal, and our conscious immortality mantle occasions of this kind with impressive sOlemnity and compels us to reflect that the pilgrimage of human life, glorious or inglorious leads but to the grave. And as stood at his open grave and heard his faithful pastor proclaim that he had died as he had lived expressing un- wavering faith in the Great Am, I felt that beyond that silent stream for him was the enjoyment of blissful hereafter and that while loving wife and little ones will miss him and there will be vacant chair, yet the inspir- ing thought win come 10 soothe ahd comfort ttat beyond the riyel theF wii

The Turkish Bath,


 Miss Heath has the good fortune to have secured splendid talent for her support. It is one of the rare instances where the charm of the star IS en- hanced by the attendant performers.
 The play itself is full of amusing in- cidents, and the actors are so perfectly embued with it's spirit that the fun be- gins as soon as the curtain rises and never lags until it drops. If you want to enjoy genuine evening of fun and nirth that is innocent and joyous. don't fail to attend "A Turkish Bath"
 Thescompany has many fine singers and this feature alone will fully com pensate all lovers of vocal music.
 But it is little Marie Heath herself that charms and fascinates her audi ences She is so guileless, so uncon- ventional. so full of the sweet pretty ways of childhood, that one wishes the play would last all night. There Is nothing in the world more winsome than bright Sweet-faced little girl and not even the little Lord Fauntle- roy can surpaSS the charm ot thls enid actress. Then her singing IS superb It is impossible to describe it's won derful apower nd sweetness. The tones are exquisite, her enunciation is distinct, and there is au appealing pa thos in her voice that is delightful It is as though your own child shoult suddenly ill the house with the vocal glory of d Patti or a Nilsson. No one can fail to enjoy this entertainment and every one who can should avail themselves of the opportunity to set and hear: Marle Heath and her talented company at the opera house, Friday Nov. 4.-Ft.

If any federal marshal or deputy shall appear at any voting place in Ar kansas, outside the city of Little Rock, and attempt to exercise any authority in the cond uct of the election he will be guilty ofa plain usurpation of power, and nobody knows this better than John Mcclure, chief supervisor. The marshals cannot exercise any power or supervision anywhere. except in cities of 20 600 inhabitants and upward There may be five hundred or five thousand of them at the coming cleo ton Tn Arkansas. but outside the city of Little Rock they, have no more power to control or supervise than SD many private citizens Raaa the sertl0H f2a&iA of ftr 2isr4aa

OLD PETE WILSON.
Under Sheriff Bugbey Introduces an
0Id-Time Friend.
They Were Once .'sports'' Together
Pete Now in the Service of the
Salvation Army.

ALLOW me TO introduce you to my old
friend, sir. This is old Pete Wilson Of
Folsom"
Under Sheriff Bugbey was the master
of ceremonies, and the reporter shook
hands with ''old Pete cordially. Pete is
! about 65 years of age, uses only one eye,
is lame and wears the regalia of the Sal
walton Army-red shirt, cap, bell, ETC.
and the Under Sheriff said he was one of
the best old souls he ever knew. even if
he was a little bit cranky.
Pete and l were once what they call
sports nowadays continued the Under
Sheriff, and he gazed fondly on the old
man. THAT'S when | lived in Folsom.
Pete and I entered into sort Of contract
once to drink up all the whisky there was
/ in that town, and we were well aware
that there was deuced lot OF it there
too, IN those days. We went at it in fine
style, but somehow or other it was like
trying to bale the water out Of a leal1y
boat. We finally had to beat a retreat,
but l tell you we were both pretty bad
oil. Then we both reformed. Neither OF
Us have touched a drop in years. rs I
said before, we were Sports in those
days. We were patted on the backs and
styled as jolly good fellows-which al
/ ways meant that we should set 'em up
again. But now we are both cranks, Pete
! in particular. He's got more courage
/ than l have to put on those buds, but /
/ admire Pete just the same"
Pete cackled merrily when reference
/ was made to the whisky drinking con-
tract, and when Mr.. Bugbey had concluded
! he declared that every word of it was
1 true. Then his countenance assumed a
/ sober look, and turning to the reporter
/ he said, in a low voice, Il was in the
/ service Of the devil, then. didn't know
it, but [ was, and found out the truth. It
was long and agonizing work, but l soon
/ broke my shackles, and now Pm in the
service of the Lord. Pm the only Saliva
ton soldier, who lives in Folsom, but
/ just the same Pm working for the cause

All the Churches.

y
All the Churches.
Christmas was quite generally observed
in a becoming manner by the church
people of the city, and many who seldom
attend divine services from the beginning
to the end ofthe year were out yesterday
to hear the pathetic and beautiful story
Of the birth of Christine dawn of the
Christian era.
In nearly all the chu- cheS there were
sermons and special music appropriate TO
the occasion. The services at the Cathe-
oral and st. Paul's Episcopal Church
were, as usual, the more elaborate, and
there We're many visitors at each outside
the regular congregation.
Atthe Cathedral all the forenoon masses
were largely attended. At the ) O'Clock

brant, the Sanctuary Boys Choir, under

RAIN EVERYWHERE.
JacintO, Colusa County, Under Water
The Railroads.

Jacinto, COlusa County, Under Water
The Railroads.
BY inquiry at superintendent Wrights
office last night it was learned that rain
fell most Of the day yesterday Oh the
Sierra Nevadas, but no snow.
There is about six feet OF snow on the
mountain and this was being melted by
the rain. 1t also rained throughout the
Sacramento Valley, and very heavily in
Tehama, Shasta and Butte counties.
The river was very high IN rehama
and up north, and it was reported that
the river was up INTO the streets OF
Jacinto and that the levees were broken
in several places in Colusa County.
THE feather RIVER
Is very high, and the water at Marvsville
was a foot higher last evening than the
highest Water-mark.
Beginning one mile north of Marvs-
vile the railroad track was inundated for
three-quarters of a mile and was impass-
able for trains.
The Oregon express going both north
and south went by the way Of willows
last night, but the local train service be-
tween this city and Marysville and the
trains over the mountain, were running
on time.
The bridge across Deer Creek was dam
aged by high water, and was impossible
to trains.
The railroad company last night was
taking active measures to protect their
lines at several points, and evidently ex-
pected the rivers to rise still higher.
THE RIVER LAST NIGHT.
At 10 O'Clock last night the river was
D feet2 inches high opposite the city,
showing a rise of four inches since noon.
Owing to the high water up the valley,
and the continuous rainfall in all direc-
tons, it may reasonably be expected TO
reach the high-water mark unless breaks
occur in the levees on the west side above
or near this point.
The water is alreadY'very high in the
y olO tule basin. Hunters who came in
from Swingle's station last evening said
it was higher over there than they had
ever seen it.
FEARS FOR MARYsvILLE.
The news that the water about Marys-
Vile was a foot higher last evening than
high-water mark is such as TO cause
grave apprehension for the safety of that
city, as there is reason to fear that the
steady rain and melting snow on the
headwaters of the Yuba and Feather will
cause Il still further rise.
LArER.-A press dispatch from Marvs-
ville-as viii be seen by reference to the
Geographic colunns-received at a later
hour-received at a later hour states that
there is no danger OF the water getting
into the city.
THE WEATHER.
Very little rain fell in this city and Vi
cinity yesterday, but the weather was
still threatening last night, aud Chief
Signal officer Jenkins forecasts from
san Francisco were that there would
probably be more rain to-day.
