THE YOLO VICTIM.
1t is Said His Name was John Ca
naugh-Robbed by Tramps.

1t is Said His Name was John Cava-
naugh-Robbed by Tramps.
Justice Newton Of Washington held an
inquest yesterday on the body Of the un-
known man who is supposed to have met
his death on the railroad in Yolo County
on the preceding evening by having been
struck by car.
There was nothing elected to throw
any light on the subject of the deceased s
Identity. but since then persons have
come to the front who claim to have
known him.
1t is said that his name was John Cava-
naugh, and that some months ago he
came INTO possession of quite fortune
by the death of brother, since which
time he had carried considerable sums OF
money about with him.
1t IS said that before leaving the CITY on
| Monday he was seen to have several nun
dred dollars, and the appearance of the
clothing, when the body was found, was
such as to indicate that his pockets had
been 1ndustriously searched and emptied
by tramps.
AS there appears to have been no neces-
slty for his travelling on foot, it is likely
that he fell from an outgoing train, as he
had been heard to say he was going to
oak kland.

Headache and Dyspepsia.

William f. Rockwell, No. 5l2 West
Fifty-seventh Street, New York, says:
81 have been a martyr to bilious head
ache and dyspepsia. Any indiscretion in
diet, over-fatigue or cold, brings on fit of
Indigestion, followed by headache last
ing two or three days at time. I think
l must have tried over twenty different
remedies, which were recommended as
certain cures by loving friends. but it
was no use. At last l thought 1 would
take a simple course of purgation with
BRANDRETH's PILLS. For the first week
took two pills every night, then one
pill for thirty nights; in that time
gained three pounds in weight and never
have had an ache or pain since"
Disease in one part Of the body will
eventually fill the whole body with dis
ease. Every year or two some part of
the system grows weak and begins to
decay. Such part should be removed at
once and new matter be allowed to take
its place. There's no need of cutting it
out with a surgeons scalpel. Purge
away the old, diseased and wornout parts
with BRANDRETH's PILLS.

THE amazing thing now is that Admiral
Tryon did not discover the extent of the
damage to his ship in time to have saved
his men below decks. 1t is agreed that
fully fifteen minutes elapsed after the
collision before the ship lurched and went
down. 1t seems incredible that in all
that time the ships officers did not know
that the Victoria was filling with tor
rent of water on the starboard side OF the
longitudinal bulkhead. Indeed it is
simply incredible how ship could be so
ripped up and the ships people not know
the extreme danger in which they were
placed.

AFFLICTED OAKLAND.

Typhoid fever has reached the epi-
demic stage in Oakland, due to the foul
drainage of the city, say the doctors.
N1alarial, intermittent and other fevers
prevail, also. We are sorry for Oakland,
but we cannot help remarking that had
such a scourge come upon Sacramento
Tom, Dick and Harry all over the State
would have raised howl about the un-
healthfulness of the Capital City, despite
the fact that our health records show us
to be in the front rank on the Coast
in the good health of the public.
Now the fact is. that Oakland is not an
unhealthful city normally. On the con-
trary, 1t is an attractive city and ought to
be one of great healthfulness. Her author
tiles have permitted conditions that result
in an abnormal state of the public
anywhere where common sanitation is
neglected. But the mishap of Oakland
ought to be lesson to this and to all
other cities. We will find it ever so
much cheaper to be on the safe side.
Now is the time, before the hot season
has fairly set in, to thoroughly cleanse
every drain, and every cesspool, and out
house, in the city. "It will cost heavilyr'
To be sure it will. But what will that
cost amount to compared to such vista
tion as now af1licts Oakland?
One of the leading physicians of Oak
land declares that the chief sewer of the
city has not been flushed in years. Who
is responsible for such dire neglect? He
adds that the sewers are reeking with the
germs of fever, aud it has been known
all along that this meant possible epi-
demic; but the authorities would not ap-
age dumps are also charged with being
the cause of a great deal of sickness in
Oakland, and while the law is now being
enforced there relative to dumping, yet
the old dumps remain and are breeding
spots for fevers. How is it here? Is the
State law enforced forbidding dumping
within the city? Suppose it is. How
much better off are we if the dumps are
only a quarter of a mile beyond city
limits, with the residence section settled
close up to the lines, and over them on
all sides, east, north and south of the
river?
Why not take steps at once to avert
possible pestilence by erecting a crema-
tory? "It will cost moneyv' Certainly it
will, and the city is poor; but she will be
far poorer if we wait for epidemic dis
ease to strike US. In that case we will
a crematory in locking the stable door
after the horse has been stolen.
Some of the health authorities are dis
posed to find the cause for fever in Oak
land in the impurity of the milk supplied
to the people, and an investigation is now
in progress. The milk cause may be one;
if so, the evil can be very quickly rem
edied. Which suggests that we might
very well have an official examination of
the milk supply of this city made. That
will cost nothing whatever, and the
dairymen who supply the city declare
that they are ready for inspection Of their
premises and tests of the milk supplied.
So much the better. We are confident
that the milk supply of Sacramento is su-
perior, but an examination and test will
do good and add to the credit of the city,
in view of the official belief in Oakland.

THE Governor of Illinois has pardoned
the remaining anarchists who were not
hanged. And this, forsooth, because
after all these years his excellency chooses
to brand the court that tried them as
prejudiced, and the State that prosecuted
them as having refused them fair trial.
1t was fitting supplement to the unveil-
ing of that badge of shame, the monu-
ment to the redhanded murderers who
shot down the faithful officers Of the peo-
pie or mangled them with Internal ma
chimes and dynamite bombs. Wesuggest
that now, cheek by jowl with the statue
erected in Haymarket Square, Chicago,
in memory of the devoted servants of the
law who laid down their lives for the
people, there be erected another, sacred
to the infamy of the Governor Of the
State who has risen superior to the law,
and branded the officers who died in de-
Tense of society as rightly killed and
justly murdered. What must the foreign
visitors at the Columbian Exposition
think of a country that so lightly regards
human rights? Put mourning badges
upon the monument the people raised in
gratitude to their officers! Drape the
stately bronze figure of the officer who
stands there in the Haymarket in testi-
mony of the majesty of the law. Write
Infamous opposite the names of the
good men and true who pronounced the
verdict guilty" Blazon on the flag of
the Nation the battle cry of the anarch-
and close the statute books with clasps of
steel, for the chief executive of a State of
the Union has approved assassination,
and declared that the red flag Of anarchy
is the symbol of liberty.

THERE is no reason in the explanation
that with the closing of the India mint to
silver coinage, the English Government
will have to import silver to meet the In
dia demand. Ii the Government is to be
credited with any sense al all it would
have foreseen that, and hence would not
have closed the mint, since it would be
more profitable to mint silver freely than
to buy it in the London market and ship

THE EFFECT OF THE FAIR ON
CALIFORNIA,

A large firm dealing in luxuries in San
Francisco has failed. 1t gives as a reason
that so many people who usually bought
of them have gone to the Worlds Fair
that the firm receipts have fallen off until
it is unable to meet its liabilities. There
is probably great deal of truth in this
statement. California has less than a
million and a quarter of people, but in
proportion to her population she is send
ing more people to the fair than any other
State, and at a much greater personal cost,
on account of the distance and the time
consumed.
We can safely put it down at ST., ,000.-
600 that will have gone out of the State
and to the East by the time the fair has
closed, due to excursionists to the fair
alone But it is to be noted that State
must be in pretty good condition that can
send out so much and so many people. If
the State were so opoverty-stricken as some
would make out, there would be no such
drift 20 the fair, and no such expenditure
as it is agreed is being made.
This outlook makes money stringent at
home for a time, because it is withdrawal
of coin and people from trade, and that
affects all lines of industry. But the fact
nust not be lost sight of that we had the
money. else there would be no such state
,r foc+s az we have set forth. Another
thing is worthy of consideration, that all
these people will come back with enlarged
;daas as to business, and as to personal
Qualification. The result of the outgo must
ha a ouickening of refined tastes, and the

viii, therefore, be increased expenditure
OF private means along many lines, new
demands in business and response to
them, and this will be felt in all branches
OF trade by the middle of the fall.
We have conversed with more than a
dozen intelligent, observant men and
women recently returned from the fair,
and they agree that the result of a visit to
the exposition will be much as we have
stated for California. Then, too, there
will be in the fall, and before that, larger
Input of visitors to the State, so that in
some respects there viii be partial turn

the Californians resident in Chicago for
| the fair season.
so that while the OutgO is creating COM
paratively dull times in trade at home, it
does not mean any real diminution of
state wealth nor any decline in State
prosperity; but it does reflect the capacity
OF our people financially, and will create
return tide in our favor in due time
We need only patience. Grumbling will
help nothing; it eases no pains and heals
no wounds; it will not put money in the
purse, nor sell pound of provisions.
Long before the time when we need to
look for the return of things to the
normal condition our fruit crops will be
| be flowing in the channels of trade at
home. So that from this quarter there
will be relief, regardless of the fair. No
one who ever contemplated the project of
worlds fair at Chicago and thought
upon the result, failed TO realize that the
Pacific Coast would suffer temporarily
by reason of it. The expected is happen
ing, and we should make the best of it,
1t will not be for long, and we will have
our reward for patience IN due season.
