Used Knives.

One week ago last Sunday few
Italians at Prescottville, who had been
imbibing freely of beer, got the demon
that turks in the bowl' aroused and a
drunken row resulted, in which knives,
pitcher, &C., were used. The knives
let gore out of one Ike, and the pitcher
bumped another's head severely. A
trial before Squire Ford Friday night
followed, and the ultimatum was for the
defendants to go free and the prosecutor
to paXall costs.

be dumped inside the city limits.
\ delegation appeared before the board
with plant concerning the Ieprous
tamale-maker at Thirteenth and X
streets. Health Officer ii. l.. Nichols
stated that he had the case in hand, and
despite certain sensational articles in
some of the papers to the contrary, there
was positively no danger of contagion;
that there was not thousandth part as
much to fear from it as from the filth and
garbage that is being dumped in the CITY
He reported The woman as being in a
state of comparative isolation, but that
her enforced idleness had left her in
state of restitution, which would necessi-
tate action of some kind in the near
future.
After a lengthy discussion the matter
was left in the hands OF the Health Off
Ger, with full power to act.
Or. huntington called attention to the
malodorous condition of the sewer on

That ancient nightmare, the Seven
teenth-street sewer, was once more
dragged into light, and on motion it was
declared nuisance from To Y streets,
and the Secretary was instructed 10 no.
tify the City Trustees of the action of the
board.

KNOWLEDGE

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, will 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
alive; efectually 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 tits man

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

Inc Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County. for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. to
Iand or fair average quality, and is offered at
from 81 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40 so, 100, 100 and 800 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above Indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal ar
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin.
cipal 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
tcrest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured 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-
peciaIly adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 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 $50
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
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

To the Honorable Board Of Ra5lroad
Commissioners of CuLito9'nid-
MEN: While on the eastern slope of
the Sierra Nevadas | also travelled
over the Carson and Colorado Rail-
road, starting from the Mound House,
in the state Of Nevada, thence run
ming south, in the State of Nevada. to
Queen, lS3 miles: thence, in the State Of
California, to Keller, lib miles. This
road runs through a sagebrush country;
very little traffic on the same, either in
passengers or freight. From Queen to
Keller trains run on Mondays, Wednes-
days and Fridays south, and TUESDAYS,
Thursdays and Saturdays north. There
is very little inducement for this road to
branch out, or to extend it's line; hence,
there has not much improvement been
made, only what has been absolutely
necessary, for the last two years. al
though l found the road in very good
condition, the station buildings sufficient
to accommodate all the business and in
very good condition.
| think the company deserves a great
deal Of credit for keeping their road in
such good condition, when the emolu-
ments are very light. Ii is true, some Of
the patrons of the road complain about
high rates, but wherever [ got in con-
versation with any Of the patrons they
admitted that they would not run the
3
for five years. l learned by inquiry that
the intention of the builders OF this road.
in the beginning, was to extend it either
TO Mohave or to Barstow on the Santa Fe
system, but l have my doubts whether
this road Will ever be extended or not,
unless they should develop resources in
that country not known OF at the present
time. While there are very fertile tracts
OF land adjacent to this road, at the same
time its general nature is that of a graz
ing country.
On the 9Th day of June l expect to 90
north as far as the Oregon line, Shall take
in the Colusa and Lake Railroad, run
ming from the town OF Colusa to Sites;
also, the Yrella Railroad, running from
Montague to Yreka, the county seat Of
SiskIyou County, and will report my
observations at our next meeting. Yours
respectfully. WILLIAM BECKMAN,
Railroad Commissioner OF the First Dis
trict, California.

BAD STREET SPRINKLING.
The Bonds of Three Of the Contractors
Declared Forfeited.

Declared Forfeited.
At yesterdays meeting of the City
Trustees communication was received
from residents on q street complaining
against the poor sprinkling service on
that thoroughfare. The complainants
stated that but one trip per day was
made over the street, and then the carts
were driven so rapidly that but very
little sprinkling was done.
Street Commissioner Green said that
similar complaints We're received from
other parts Of the city, and something
ought to be done to compel the contractors
to live up to their obligations.
WELL" said the Mayor, why not 90
right at 1t and declare some of these con-
tracts torfeited?"
Trustee Conklin said that apparently
the contractors had bitten off more than
they can chew. He thought, however, it
would be best to see the contractors and
warn them that they must do better work.
Mayor Steinnan suggested that it
might be well 10 forfeit the contracts of
all who are not doing satisfactory work
and let the city employ men and teams to
do the work.
These men have given bonds" said
the Mayor, land why not declare the
bonds forfeited? There's no use monkey
ing with this matter week after week.
FINALLY Commissioner Green moved to
declare forfeited the bond of u. A. Burns
for District No. ?, and it was so ordered;
Trustee Conklin voting no.
Similar action was taken in the case of
NJ. Brady, contractor for District No. 4,
and Henry Dehn, contractor for District
No. 6.
An order was made instructing the City
Attorney to take the necessary steps TO
collect the amounts due on the forfeited
bonds.
The infusion Of little ginger into the
methods OF transacting the city's business
VIII have good effect. Heretofore the
strect-sprinklers have done Just about as
they pleased and snapped their fingers at
the CITY Trustees. The action taken by
the board yesterday should teach these
men lesson, and serve as a warming for
others VINO are daily cheating the people
out of their rights.
