THE TURN-VEREIN.
Fine Musical and Gymnastlc Pro-

y Fine Musical and GymnastIc Pro-
gramme Last Night.
The gymnastic and musical entertain
ment of the Sacramento Turn Verein
last night at Turner Hall was success
in itself, although the attendance was
largely diminished by the Cottlow con-
cert taking away many Of the music
loving Germans.
The calisthenic exercises by the boys,
and the gymnastic exercises by the active
members, were finely done, and illus
trated eXcellently the beginning and end
of the system which builds from the
ground up, and in which each succeeding
step is regulated by the severest discip-
line, which causes many to forsake the
Turn Nerein and take UP athletics in
other forms.
a notable feature which was not down
on the programme was recitation from
Julius C3sar' by Maurice Morrison, a
German actor from the Royal Theater at
Berlin, who was member of company
that came over to play at the Columbian
Exposition. His powerful, resonant
voice. clear as a bell, thoroughly under
his control, and the action and expression
with which be gave the passage stamped
him as an artist of no common merit.
lue programme was as IOIlOWS: over
t1re, bohemian Girl" (Balfe), by the
orchestra; "Du Bist Mein rraum," male
chorus by the Tuner Harmonic; calls
themes, boys class; song and chorus
from Martha" a, Sadlowsky and Tur-
ner Harmonic; "Wana Du Zu Mei I'm
Schatzel Kommst," male chorus by the
Turner Harmonic; wand exercises, act
i've members; selection, 'Robin Hood -

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, 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 feyers
and permanently curing constipation:
It he's given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, 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
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

KELLY, The SLASHER.
He Cuts Mike Bary's Throat From
Ear to Ear,
Simply Because the Latter Refused
His Demand for Money-The
Victim May Live.

Michael Barry, otherwise an unknown,
was brought to the Receiving Hospital
last evening in the patrol wagon with his
throat cut from ear to ear and another
cash across one of his cheeks.
The wounds were ghastly ones to look
at, but City Physician Terry sewed them
up and remarked that he did not think
they would necessarily prove fatal.
Barry will be removed to the County
Hospital this morning.
* A ccording to the story briefly told by the
wounded man, just before he was placed
under the influence of a narcotic, the at
tempt to murder him was made by a
hobo named Jim Kelly, and because be
Barry refused to divide with him the
couple of dollars he had.
Kelly was one of the hobos gathered in
by the police yesterday morning, and
was released with the rest of them on
condition that he left the city. The gang
did leave by crossing the bridge into
Washington, but it is evident that many
if not all of them came back.
Barry says be met Kelly in Washing
ton saloon in the afternoon, and the
| latter demanded a half-dOllar with which
to buy opium, and he refused to give it to
him. Last evening, just as he was about
to enter the Steamboat Saloon. at Front
and X streets, Kelly-whO was lying in
wait in doorway-sprang upon him and
with a razor slashed him as above de-
scribed, and then madeihis escape across
the river.
The razor just touched the windpipe,
and had it gone a mere fraction deeper
Barry would now be in the hands of the
Coroner.
Kelly was released from the County
Jail only last Monday where he had
served a term. Officer McManus arrested
him at the time, but not until Kelly had
viciOusly assaulted him. Then the officer
beat him into submission. He is minus
Que eye, and his ugly looks do not belle
his nature.
When Jailer Burke was releasing some
of his dodgers yesterday morning, Kelly
tried to get out with them by telling
Burke that he was lodger and not a
prisoner. Burke is a religious man, and
had not allowed q cuss word to escape
| aim for many years, but Kelly's bluff
was too much for hIm, and those present
at the time say the air OF the hobo cell
turned blue before the handsome jailer
had concluded his remarks.

VARIOIIS MIGRANTS
About Forty Tramps Arrested Yester-
day Morning.

About Forty Tran1pS Arrested YeSter-
day Morning.
The weather having become more
pleasant night before last, the Chief of
Police and several officers made up a
"brush party' and succeeded in round
ing up forty tramps who were using the
heavens as a ceiling for their bedroom. a
number of them were found near the City
Cemetery, sleeping in a hay stack on the
O'Brien place, and were routed out by
the officers with pitchforks and brought
to the station yesterday morning.
Yesterday seven of them were taken
away by Constable Charles Merkley OF
Oak Hall, from whose ranch seventy-five
chickens were recently stolen by tramps.
Other ranchers in that vicinity have also
been sufferers on account of their fond
ness for chickens, and it is hoped that by
the time the bonds are voted for good
roads the worthless and isolated fellows
who prey upon the property of others
will accumulate enough broken rock to
macadamize the whole length of the
Riverside Road.
The domestic who was so brutally as
saulted by a tramp on Monday, at the
residence of w. ID. Lawton, was at the
station yesterday and took a look at the
gang, but failed to identify any of them
as the one who beat and choked her.

Hugh Brown Jumped the Train and
Escaped From the Sheriff.
Sheriff Conde of Baker City, Oregon,

horse-thief, named Hugh Brown, who
had given him the slip.
The Sheriff was on the North bound
Portland express Tuesday night, having
Brown (who is only 2l years Old i'll
charge, on his way back to Oregon with
him. In order to prevent his escape
from the sleeper during the night, he
made Brown disrobe, and taking his
clothes placed them under his pillow.
Brown, however, was not to be deferred
by little thing like that, in the glorious
climate Of the northern citrus belt, and
ut Nelson Station he jumped from the
train in his underclothIng.
The Sheriff was compelled to leave the
train at Chico, on discovering his loss
and get the assistance OF officers at that
place TO recapture his prisoner. Brown
was raised at Biggs and is therefore
familiar with the country and may be
hard to recapture.
