The decision in the Bering Sea
case was handed down at Paris Tues.
day by Baron Courcel, President
of the tribunal. The points conten-
ded for by the United States were all
decided in favor of Great Britain, il
held that Russia had not exercised
exclusive jurisdiction in the sea or any
exclusive rights to the seal fisheries
therein, beyond the ordinary limit of
territorial waters at the time of the
cession of Alaska to the United States !;
that the Bering Sea was included in
the phraze "Pacific Ocean," and the
and the United States have no right
to the protection of or property in the
seals frequenting the islands of the
U, s. and Bering Sea, when The
same are found outside of three-mile
limit. Justice Harlan and eX-Secre-
tary Foster both claim, however, that
the regulations specified by the trib-
unal will check pe'agic sealing, aud

the chief aims OF the country, declar-
ing that the general result was far in
advance of anything that the United
States had demanded,

The "fad" of beer drinking may look
trivial. It is followed by the fad " OF
kidney disease, as a direct consequence,
And that is not trivial. That means the
grave and is solemn. The situation
would be truly alarming and threaten
the extinction of the race were it not
for two things.
1. There is always hope of reforma-
ton in the hearts of the people. When
the dangerous increase of kidney dis
ease is sufficiently sounded, there will
be reform. This will assure future
generations.
3. AS to the afflicted of to-day, a
knowledge Of DIR. Fenner's Kidney and

adroit enough to resort to its use before
it is too late. Also cures female weak

The Mystery of the Viking Ships.

The Mystery OF the NlHih6 ShipS
The mystery of the Viking ships is
now passing away, owing to the dis
covery Of their remains during this
century. In 1907 good-sized ship
was discovered near Sarpsborg, while
in 1882, there was dug out of a burial
mound at Gokstad, near Christiania,
the entire remains of Viking ship
with most of her equipments in good
state of preservation. She was rs
feet long, 16t feet wide, and built en-
tirely of oak. The PROV and stern
were richly decorated and handsomely
carved. She had ports for sixteen
oars on a side, many of which re-
mained in good order, as the warri-
ors' shields were also we'll preserved.
Among the articles found were can
dlesticks, a copper caldron, sled, a
fine bride, and the anchor and stock
with its long cable. There were also
extra masts and spars, the ships water
tub, and an oaken bedstead for the
use of the Vikings commander.
The ship was evidently the burial
tomb of itsgreat captain, for the bones
of his horses and dogs lay beside il !;
and strangest thing of all to relate,
the bones of the viking himself, a
man of gigantic size, six feet three
and half inches tall, were found in a
covered place amidships. There was
nothing to show, however, whether
the great chief died in battle defend
ing his own fireside, or whether,
wounded in one of his own terrible
forays, he had been brought home for
burial but certain it is that for one
thousand years he had lain there with
his favorite warehouses and hunting.

The petition recently presented il
Parliament praying for the pensionine
of super-annuated public school teach
ers, casts side light on the social con
dition of Great Britain. In the
United States the standard of wages
that rules generally, has made such
action unnecessary. Nearly every
country in Europe, however, has
deemed it matter of humanity to
make statutory provision for the de-
clining years of those who have de-
voted the best part of their lives to
the public education of the young.
The petition presented to Parliament
is signed by morethan 10000 persons,
over $4,000 of whom are teachers
themselves.

OF Interest to Athletes.

James Robinson, the athletic trainer of
Princeton College, Princeton, n. j., says:
81 have found it imperative to have
sure and simple remedies on hand in case
of cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds,
rheumatism, etc. Shortly after entering
upon my profession I discovered such a
remedy in ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsrERs,
tried other plasters, but found them too
harsh and irritating. ALLCOCK's Porous
PLAsrERs give almost instantaneous re-
lief, and their strengthening power is re-
markable. In cases of weak back put
two plasters on the small of the back and
in short time you will be capable of
quite severe exercise. In "sprint" and
distance races and jumping the mus
cles or tendons in the legs and feet some
times weaken. This can invariably he
relieved by cutting the plaster in narrow
strips, so as to give free motion, and ap-
plying on muscles affected"

CUT WITH A POCKET-KNIFE.
An Ex-Convict Stabbed During a
Drunken BrawI.
The Knife-WieIder Not Yet in Custody
The Wounded Man Refuses to
Give Any Information.

An ex-convict named Joseph Williams
was seriously stabbed between and 10
o'clock last night during a drunken
Drawl with some companions.
Williams has been out of the Folsom
Prison but few days. He served a term
of five years there for robbery committed
in this county.
From all that could be learned of the
affair last night Williams and some
friends were drinking heavily all day yes
terday and continued their spree into the
night. Among those who were with him
was one-armed man known as ''Scotty."
Williams and the cripple had some
words, and, after wrangling for awhile,
agreed TO go into the alley between l. and
N, Front and Second streets, and ''set-
tle'' it.
Several members of the party remained
out on the sidewalk near the Garibaldl
Hotel, while Williams and "Scotty," with
another young fellow called "The Kid"
| disappeared in the alley. Shortly alter
ward Williams returned and complained
of feeling sick. He walked over TO the
Elmer Hotel, on X street, and sat down.
when it was noticed that his shirt was
stained with blood in the vicinity of the
dDUDIncl.
Williams then admitted that he had
been stabbed, and the patrol wagon was
Immediately sent for. The injured man
was taken to the Receiving Hospital and
attended to. He stubbornly refused to
say anything about the affray-as to who
cut him or what it was about.
The wound, to look at it, was very
small puncture evidently made by a
small blade of a pocket-knife) but there
was no telling how deep it was in the
absence of the City Physician. The
puncture was slightly to the left of the
navel.
Chief Rodgers, Captain Simmons and
Officer Maley started out Immediately to
investigate the matter, but up to late
hour had not captured the knite-wielder.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the neart OF Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
nom $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 100, 16O and 500 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 for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an.
nual installments Thus no part Of the prin.
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay nve equal annual installments, with in.
terest at the rate of Z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to corre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
s1oo 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 $40
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
plishment.
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 diligent husbandry.
