CLEVELAND OR HILL
The Momentous Question That Agi
tateS the Democracy

The Momentous Question That Agf-
tates the Democracy.
The Democrats of the county held-or
are supposed to have held-primary cleo
tons in the various precincts to select
delegates to the County Convention
which is to meet here tomorrow. There
was no strife in the city, and the dele
gates reported by the 'caucuses had a
''walkover." The only crowds about
the polling-places were the Election
Boards.
1t appears that rumor became cur
rent that an effort would be made to send
Hill delegation from Sacramento
County under cover of being ''unin-
structed." When this report became
generally known, r. d. Stephens-who
is strong advocate of Cleveland-set at
work with the determination that, if a
Hill delegation should be sent, it would
have to be done openly, and not under
cover of sending an unpledged one.
AS soon as Stephens and his friends de-
clared themselves, the Hill faction aban-
doned the fight, as-according to promi-
nent Democratic estimate-fully so per
cent. of the Democrats in this county are
in favor of the denomination of Cleve-
land.
The convention that meets tomorrow
will no doub5 send nineteen delegates to
Fresno instructed for Cleveland. 1t will
meet at o'clock at Turner Hall.

The Churches of sacramento We're
Literally Patronized.
Easter Sunday was typical California
spring day. and the churches were well
filled with worshipers. The affairs and
pulpits were, as rule, tastefully adorned
with lilies, roses. and other choice flowers
that We'd in beauty with the artificial ones
that adorned the seas of charming new
Easter bonnets worn by the ladies of the
congregations.
Every seat in the vast Cathedral of the
Blessed Sacrament was occupied at the
1880 O'Clock services, and the space in
the rear was likewise filled, scores Of per-
sons OF both sexes being satisfied with
standing room. Right Rev. Bishop
Manogue celebrated pontifical high mass,
assisted by Rev. Father Grace, several
other priests and numerous boy attend
ants, or acolytes.
The music was superb, and altogether
the Easter service was grand and inn
pressive. Rev. Father Grace preached
an able sermon, which was listened to
with deep interest throughout.
AT ST. PAUL'S.
st. PauPs (EpiscopaD Church, where
special preparations were also made for
the Easter service, was also crowded to
its utmost capacity. The floral decora-
gramme, as published on Saturday, was
rendered in an excellent manner under
the management of Mrs. Pinkham, and
added greatly to the interesting features
of the service.
The rector, Rev. G. A. Ottmann, deliv-
cred an eloquent sermon appropriate to
the occasion.
AT nearly all the other churches in the
city the services were of unusual interest
and all were we'll attended.

1t VIII Be Held at Natoma Grove On
the Goth Instant.
One week from tomorrow will be the
Goth, the date of the Odd Fellows picnic
an annual event to which old and
young look forward with delightful an
ticipations.
The Odd Fellows always select the
best grounds to be had; always provide

nience of those who attend; always have
good music for the dancers; always see
that the best of order is maintained. that
no drunkenness is allowed, and never
fail to provide an abundance and variety

These are the things that make picnics
enjoyable, and that is why the odd Eel

all the people that want TO go their picnics.
This year they will go to Natoma
Grove, which is in splendid condition
and very inviting.

Was Expensive.

The Use of it on Warren Doan's Head
Was Expensive.
The suit of Warren E. Doan VS.. B. R.
Croker for $4,000 damages has been
compromised, and was formally dis
missed in the Superior Court Saturday.
Mr.. Doan is the official stenographer Of
Placer County, and took down the testi-
mony in the case tried in Auburn some
time ago, in which Mr.. Croker was in
terested. When the case was over MIR.
Doan presented his bill to the millionaire,
and the latter replied by whacking the
shorthand man over the head with his
cane.
Doan sustained severe scalp wound,
but bottled his wrath and offered nothing
in the way of retaliation. Several days
later, however, he met Mr.. Croker and
the latter expressed himself as being
sorry that he had not hit him harder. .
This was more than Doan could stand,
and he hied himself to the Office OF his
attorneys, and instructed them to COM
mence suit for damages.
The compromise is reported to be the
result OF heavy money payment to
DOan.

McISaacS, Mind and BODY

Liquor and Morphine Play Havoc With
McIsaacS' Mind and Body.
John McIsaacs was arrested yesterday
by Captain Bradley while wandering
half-crazed about the streets. McIsaacs
is total wreck, and in very pitiable
and disgusting state. He is on the verge
of insanity, if not quite insane already,
and yesterday tried to kill himself by
beating his head against the iron bars of
his cell.
He is confirmed morphine fiend, and
yesterday injected five grains of the drug
into his system before being quoted.
A reporter was shown into his cell YES
terday, and when McISaacs was aroused
from his stupor he presented most mis-
cradle spectacle OF suffering and deprav-
ity.
1t is thought that he cannot live much
longer, and beyond question the poor
wretch would be better OFT in any other
state than that of his present miserable
and hopeless condition. He is said to
have shot man in this city some years
ago, since when he has descended to the
lowest depths of vice and depravity.

way here by rail, after leaving Caldwell,
has., one begins to see wagon trains
pressing forward to the reservation. In
all parts of the prairie boomers wagons
and various kinds of vehicles are making
for the promised land. There are also
some on horseback and some on foot.
Some are well provided for, and some
only possess what they wear. The crowd
here is quiet and orderly, and thinning
rapidly, as everybody is making for the
line. reports estimate some $4,000 people
on the border. AS the reservation can
only give 10000 people one claim each,
some 5000 must be deprived, if reports
are true, or take up town-site claim.
LAND SPECTATORS COMPLAIN.

spectators are finding fault with the rul-
ing of the land Office prohibiting the fill
ing of more than two claims. The legiti-
mate boomer, however, is in high feather,
as he is protected against illegal specula-
ton by the ruling. Rumors of the fraud
ulent formation of line before the King
fisher Land Office are untrue. Maps
issued yesterday purporting to be from
the Interior Department were discovered,
circulated by individuals for the purpose
OF decelvlng the boomer. Easter services
were held in nearly all the camps along
the border, and quiet gambling games are
running in most of the towns. There
was general movement toward the bor-
der this afternoon.

is estimated that $1,000 people are toeing
the, line of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
reservation, lined up for the charge on
Tuesday. A fiier will have an advantage
over the sooner, as he will be able TO
make declaration before the sooner can
possibly reach desirable lands. The
Santa Fe is preparing TO run numerous
trains into the reservation on the dav of
the opening, and the race for those on
horseback or in wagons will be long
one. Merchants with loads of goods Of
all conceivable kinds of business are on
hand, and a few hours after the opening
they will be doing business at the county
seats. Thousands have already given up
hope OF getting homes and will leave at
once. Many hope to be able to purchase
claims from sooners and squatters. At
Kingfisher the Land Receiver has decided
that the line formed four weeks ago has
no legal status, and there is serious talk
of forming another line. In this event
trouble will follow, and possibly blood
shed.

The Weather Bureaus reports show
that a light frost was visible on Saturday
morning, while yesterday morning there
was quite a heavy frost, the lowest
temperature being So, and on Saturday
40o. The Government thermometer
being seventy or more feet above the
ground, and as the temperature increases
from the ground upward until certain
hight is reached, will cause them to in
dictate in the mornings from 20 to 40
higher that the actual temperatures
within foot or so of the ground.
Frost could never form at a tempera-

that heavy frost visited this section
when the Government thermometer in

as frost is frozen dew, the temperature

frost is formed.
The highest temperatures on Saturday
and yesterday were co. and $50. If the
wind fell last night this will be another
cold morning, possibly with frost.

SEATTLE (Wash.), April 1.-THE mys-
terry surrounding the death of VIM. Rad
loft, whose charred remains were found
Saturday morning in the ruins of his
house, still continues unsolved, although
developments to-day prove beyond doubt
that his life was insured for s., 800. Sew
eral of the insurance men went to the
scene of the tragedy to-day and investi-
gated the case. From the condition Of
the bones the theory has been advanced
that the supposed death of Radloff is
nothing more than a scheme to defraud
the insurance companies. The policies
were all issued about month ago, and
made payable to Radloff's wife. She, the
neighbors say, mentioned frequently that
her husbands life was insured in her
favor. Chief of Police Jackson and De-
tective Cudahue continued the investiga-
ton to-day. The Coroner will hold an
inquest tomorrow, and interesting de-
VelOpmentS are expected.
