ABOUT SHOES AND FLANNEL,
No Man Ought 10 be FOOl-He
Should Put Oh Sufficient Clothing
in the Early Fall.

Don't be fool. Put on your tlanncls as
soon as they are needed. Don't do Il foolish
thing in thinking that you are hardening
your constitution by wearing insufficient
clothing i'm the early fall. The system at that
time is very much relaxed and is more sensi-
tive 10 cold than in the middle of winter
The heat of the body must be kept up, and he
who goes out in cold weather without his
coat, or without his tlannels, makes an un.
necessary draft on his vital powers. He had
better husband his vital resources, and not
endanger his life in doing an dlOtic act. Nc
man or woman, either, ought TO wear wet
shoes. AS well put Il poultice 10 the feet a.
wet shoes Keep more than one pair of shoes
and keep rubbers, too. And, young man, II
you are looking for Il wife, court a girl who
has sense enough to wear heavy shoes in win
I ter.

The politicians have won the fat offices and
the places OF honor, but, my friend, you and
must work on, and make our living in The
same old way-by hard work ana economy
AS the "io!ty acres and a mule" never mate
yaliZtd so our dreams of government aid
will meyer come. The Sub-treaSuries must be
On our own farms. in our own offices or in
or own shops-and their supply OF the need
eh cash must depend upon our own indirid
ual eXertonS.
The free and unlimited coinage of silver
will do neither you nor me any good, If we
lIuve nothing to give in exchange for il. We
must have something to sell before we can get
any OF the "free' or unlimited" dollars. II
don't mean that the money Is to be given
tree" OF anything in exchange. If we can
get something to sell we can now get cart
loads ar even car loads, not OF silver, but 0i
& Id. They have stacks OF paper money in
Washington TO give ont to people VINO have
something to sel-bondS. for instance.
AS we have no more elections for Tune,
and as all the politicians have either been
provided for or disappointed, we will now
have season in which we can look after ou!
own individual interests.
The fact is, we attach too much importance
to the choice of officers. While II Is a matter
OF the create est concern to the rival candidates
as 10 which shall get the offices 1t is OF very
little matter TO the citizen, which set gets in.
Neither will help the man who looks TO the

OIL MILL AND GINNERIES.

There has been some activity in business
circles during the last week. Men move
around with business air, and II seems that
they are entering the busy season hoping that
additional energy and greater push may
make mp tor any little shortage in the crops.
Their super ur facilities for doing business
and their Willingness TO do business for close
margins ii is thought will have the effect OF
drawing trade To this place which has hereto
fore gone elsewhere. In this way they nope
not only To maintain their present trade, but
look forward in the belief that good bargains
in good goods together with honest dealing
Will greatly extend their trade.

a blizzard i'm California.

CHICO, CAL, March 31.-A hail. storm
yesterday was accompanied by severe
thunder and lightning. Many skylights
in the city were broken, and some trees
completely stripped of leaves. Lightning
struck an oak tree near town, which was
completely demolished and split from
end to end. AT the Rancho Chico dairy
the lightning struck new building used
at night as eowshed and eight large
tiInbers were torn to pieces. Two men
working near were partly burned by the
fash. whirlwind passed to the west
OF town, crossing Lind's creek and, tax
ing up the rubbish and water out of the
creek, carried it quite distance across
a field, tearing the limbs off the trees as
it passed. Following this was heavy
frost this morning, which may increase
the damage already done by the hail.
Men were kept at work all night in Gen.
Bidwells orchard, burning straw to pro-
tect the fruit from frost. Early grain in
many places was beaten down and dam
aged to some extent. Little wind pre-
vailed during the storm. The weather
today is clear, quiet and warm.

To Suppress Norfolk Park.

RICHMOND, Va, March 3I.-Under
the laws OF this state prize fighting is
made felony and punishable as such.
For some time past the sports of the
country have been in the habit of point
ing to Norfolk county as affording field
in which pugulists could indulge in con-
tests without fear of inviting the law.
At the session of the legislature in 1888
an act was passed incorporating a park
In Norfolk county, giving the incorpor-
ators numerous privileges. Among
others it is claimed it allows prize fight
ing. 1t is reported mill occurred in
Norfolk county very recently, and Gov
ernor Mckinney is determined that the
law OF the state shall not be openly
violated by these men, and in a letter to
Judge Portlook, of Norfolk county,
writes: 81 see from the papers that
there recently was prize fight in your
county, which, under the statutes, is
felony. I have waited to see what
action would be taken in the case BY
your juries. Please let me know if the
parties have been indicted; and if not,
why. Were the parties arrested by
warrant? If not, why. If there is any
defect in the law, please let me know, so
that it may be remedied.

Left the Quaker city.

SAN Francisco, April IA Philadel-
phia dispatch announces that Claus
Spreckels and his family left for this city,
their future home, yesterday. This is
because of the absorptiono of his immense
eastern sugar interests by the trust, and
combination which he has bitterly op-
posed for years. Had the merchants
maintained their pledges to Spreckles,
and co-operated with him honorably,
they would not now be obliged to meet
the arbitrary dictations of a sugar trust
which will carry on the business wholly
and solely for the profit. The reported
qualification to members of the board
of trade and other organizations work
ing for the commercial advancement of
the city," when it was announced that
Spreckles would maintain his indepen-
dence, was very much after that style of
qualification" one feels to see an indi-
vidual investing millions which are to
result in enriching his neighbors mani
testify more largely, proportionately
than himself. This was the case exactly
with Claus Spreckels in Philadelphia,
and discovery of the fact is why he lost
all further interest in the Quaker City.

MURDERERA AND GRAVEYARD GHouL
AN AocoMrL1cE UNDER ARREST.
Paris Perhaps Safely Past the Dangers
Threatened by Anarchists
Last Week.

PARIS, April Lit is believed now
that Paris is safely past the dangers
threatened from anarchists last week.
The arrest of the ring leader Ravachol,
and an accomplice who betrayed him,
has tended greatly to restore confidence
among the people. Ravachol has been
vigorously questioned as to his past life,
the examination lasting half day, and
the results show him to be greater
william than was supposed. He confess
sed 10 the murder of the old hermit of
Notre Dame, De Grace, but denied the
murder of an old man-servant at Variaoll
in 1885, and his former wife in 1888.
His denial, however, was not very strong,
and many discrepancies appeared in his
replies in relation to them. The police
are of the belief they will yet discover
evidence that he killed both. Some time
ago an old man was killed with an ak.
When Ravachol was questioned in regard
to this crime, his answer was very weak.
He was graveyard ghoul, and told of a
number of graves he had robbed. When
the police searched his lodgings they
found among other evidences of criminal
operations set of counterfeiter's tools.
When questioned regarding the possess
sion of these unlawful belongings he
-coolly acknowledged that he belonged to
a gang Of counterfeiters, but persistently
refused to make any admission that
would lead to the detection of his con-
federates. 1t is acknowledged on all
sides the police had good reason to be-
lieve that Ravachol would make a des-
perate resistance against arrest, and
those who condemned them for not ar
resting him some days ago now admit
the police were right in not attempting
to effect a capture until they had made
sure there was no chance of his escape.
The Echo states that Ravachol admitted
he was the author of the Boulevard st.
Germain explosion. The chief of detec-
tives asserts that Chaumartin, an accom-
plice of Ravachol, now under arrest, be-
trayed his leader and told the police
that Ravachol intended to blow up the
house of Bulot, one of the prosecuting
counsel in the recent anarchist trials.
Bulot's residence 80 Rue Clichy, was the
scene of the destructive explosion of
Sunday morning. Ravachol lived at st.
Mande, near the Wood of st Vincennes,
four miles southeast of Paris. He was
seen going to Paris Sunday morning,
carrying small portmanteau. Rava-
chol is watched in prison night and day
by three detectives. He is the illegiti-
mate son of German parents, born in
France

general at Ottawa for the United States,
at the request of the state department at
Washington, has lodged complaint with
the Canadian government of large num-
ber of undesirable immigrants which
find their way into the United States
by way of Canada, and requested that
the American government be permitted
to place inspectors at the chief immigra-
tion depots of Canada, for the purpose
of reporting their condition, enabling
the American government to make di-
rect pronounced remonstrance, should it
be justified by reports of the inspectors.
No reply has yet been made by the gov

At their own Risk.

TORONTO, March 31.-An Ottawa dis
patch says erroneous reports are in cir
culation respecting the issue of clearan-
ces for sealing vessels going to Behring
sea. 1t is not true that the collector at
Victoria has been authorized. to refuse
clearances. He has simply been told to
notify the sealers that in clearing for
Behring sea they do SO at their own risk,
and in the event that the modus vivendi
is agreed upon they will be required to
strictly observe its provisions.
