Ruthless Rapine of Sweet Niolets from
Hamiltou's Hennerv.

Ruthless Rapine of sweet NiOlets from
Hamiltou's Hennery.
County Clerk Hamilton mourns the
vandalism of some marauders, who have
either never heard the stories OF his prov
ess and desperate deeds done upon the
bodies of the ursine denizens of the
Sierra Nevada, or else thought it proba-
BILE that in these piping times Of peace he
had laid aside the panoply of war, and
having returned to the haunts of civiliza-
ton, where the ferocious grizzly does not
roam the streets, except on circus days,
lie was probably not loaded for bar.
n TAT all events they took desperate
chances, and boldly, feloniOusly and with
chicken house on Sunday night and sur
reptitiously abstracted therefrom nine
fine chickens.
To add insult to injury, while not tax
ing all the ilocll, they picked out three pet
bantams, which We're the pride OF Will
iam's heart and the apple of his eye, and
named respectively sweet Niolets, :"
"Tittlbat I'itmouse" and '"rwinks." g"
Billy's heart will long be with memories
filled OF 'Sweet Niolets," which he had
taught when he took her on his knee to
sing, accompanying him, the song after
which she was named, and the sweet
strains of which many of his friends have
heard her warble.
The remainder of the flock has no
charms for him now, and he says he
would have beenwiiling for the maraud-
ers to take the rest If he could only have
had chance to turn loose on them one or
both barrels OF his No. bear gun.

only collected s160 during his term from
the two theaters, and a list of firms and
banks doing a large business. with the
basis on which Bates calculated the
amount of their license, and suggestion
that hereafter the lists for licenses be sub
jected to frequent and critical eXanlira-
ton, calling attention to the ordinance
providing 81 extra TO those who do not
pay licenses when due, and its disregard
by Bates predecessors as Collectors in
the past, and the fact that the license
numbers have not run regularly in order.
SHOULD REACH $4,000.
The report also suggests that simple
and effective system of bookkeeping can
be devised for the office, and giving the
opinion that the revenue from license tax
in this county should reach at least
$4,000.
After the report was read District At
torney Ryan was asked his opinion OF it.
he stated that it was rather an indefinite
question. He thought the report made it
look bad for somebody. The board had
been in the habit of making contracts
with Collectors, and thought that should
be changed and they should be made Of
ficers of the counties and their duties de-
fined. The expert stated that an ordi-
nance of 1884 made him so and defined
his duties.

his opinion was asked on, and Super
visor Todd said what was wanted was
legal advice.
District Attorney Ryan then said that
whatever points the Board wished his
opinion on he would consider at any
time.
Ex-Supervisor Bates stated that so far
as the personal receipts were concerned
he stood ready to pay for them and have
licenses issued in place of them. He eX-
planned one or two of the cases mentioned
in the report, and said there were two
sides to the question and all he asked was
justice.
Supervisor Todd moved that the report
be accepted and the expert discharged,
and it was so ordered.
Supervisor Jenkins moved that the per-
sonal receipts be turned over to the Chair
man and he gave his receipt for them 10
Mr.. Seymour. and it was 50 ordered.
On motion of Supervisor Todd the
resignation OF License Collector Bates
was accepted.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, viii attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax,
ative; efiectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it IS perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

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 [reha.na County. for tho
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
mont. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre. in subdivisions Of
40, 50, 120, 160 ana 32O acres.
The TERMS upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
Suodl visions, as above indicated, By the pay
nlcEt Of interest only for three years, a. which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF II ve equal an
NAL installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipas IS to be paid Tor 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 : per cent. per annum
making payments extending over period of
elght years. Intending purchasers are as-
snred that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 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-
pecially adapted Tor fruitgrowing cannot be
had in California for less than from sec to
500 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at SEQ
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 a large
holding for the purpose of promoting, its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.

wished to call the attention OF the board to
a clause OF the ordinance which stated that
the licenses were due and payable at the
Collectors Office. and if not so paid that
the Collector should collect 81 extra. This
provision had never been enforced, and

ANDERSON, Ind. Dec. SO-This after
noon the Democrats held a convention in
the courthouse that was conspicuous for
its lack OF enthusiasm. John w. Kern and
Secretary OF State Myers made labored
speeches to bolster up the courage of DEM
ocrats. The financial panic was all charged
to the Mckinley tariff law. Mr.. Kern pite-
ously appealed 20 the Democrats to stand
by Grover Cleveland once more. A resolu-
ton was passed indorsing the policy Of
tariff for revenue only. and requesting
Senators and Representatives. to pass the
Wilson bill without delay. A ludicrous
blunder occurred during Mr.. Kern's speech.
The speaker made a statement that Amer
lean harvest machines were sold cheaper in
Australia than in America a voice ex-
claimed: That's a Democratic lie"
What's that. sir2" said Mr.. Kern.
That's a Democratic lie" came the
quick response.
"Wm some one open the window and let
air in on that drunken Republican-and L
say further, i have never before been in
suited by an audience IN my life. 1t re-
manned for Madison county to offer the
insult i repeat my statement, and If the
gentleman don't know better his ignorance
Is only equaled by his impudence."
An effort was made TO discover the Of
fender by County Chairman j. j. Meter
Vile. which proved unavailing. Captain
Myers. who followed. apologized for the
Tending Republican. He was loudly APP
plauded, but the affair became more seTf-

pearance OF Jesse Mellett, eX-editOr of the
