Mr.. Haggin's consignment consists
principally of stations selected by Mr..
Mackey, who is regarded as one of the
best judges of thoroughbred known.
Ihey are all well-known horses on Eng

ana has won great many races himself.
OrmuZ IS also a winner of many races,
IN one OF which he beat Amphion. He
has probably led more classic winners in
their work than any horse of modern
times. Watercress, who was trained in
the same stable with Orme and La
tleche, has also distinguished himself on
the turf On one occasion he ran a very
meritorlous race with Orme, in which he
was only beaten by a head. He is a

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
The Hoppe Case Sent Back to the ST
perior Court.

The Supreme Court has rendered de-
cision in the case of Herman w. Hoppe
ct al, plaintiffs and appellants, VS.. Julia
Hoppe, defendant and appellant, and w.
A. Fountain, defendant and respondent,
and w. A. Fountain, plaintiff and re-
spondent, VS.. Julia Hoppe, defendant
and appellant. and Herman w. Hoppe
ct al, intervenors and appellants, Sac
ramento County case which has been
long time in the courts.
The first action was to obtain parti-
ton of the property involved, and Foun-
claimed to be mortgage of the whole
premises under mortgage executed by
the defendant, Julia Hoppe.
The second action was atterward COM
menced by Fountain against Julia
Hoppe TO foreclose the mortgage and the
plaintiffs in the first action intervened in
the second, and the court ordered the
two actions consolidated.
Fountain demurred to the complaint in
partition and also to the complaint in in
tervention and to the answer of Julia
Hoppe in the foreclosure case, and each
demurrer was sustained and Judgment
dismissing the action for partition and
complaint in Intervention and fore
closure of the mortgage was entered.
The interyenors and Julia Hoppe ap-
pealed.
The intervenors claimed that the home
stead granted by the court to Julia
Hoppe after her husbands death was in
reality granted for the family and that
she had no right to mortgage it to Foun-
tain without the consent OF the other
heirs. some of whom were minors.
The Supreme Court reversed the iudg-
ment and the court below is directed to
overrule the demurrer OF respondent to
the answer OF defendant.

BLACK as Ink

Are the prejudices which some people
cherish against what is good for them.
They reason. as our friend Artemas Ward
says, thusly, $50 and so has been taking
medicine for long time and isn't any
BETTER" They only know individual
cases: Many could be cited, to their as
tonishment, in which Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters has brought about a complete
change in the physical condition of per-
sons suffering from general i'll health.
This thorough stonlachic, besides having
the decided recommendation of the med
ical profession, is voiced by the general
public as the possessor of qualities AS an
lnvigorant and restorative of health not
found anywhere else. In bodily troubles
caused by the liver, stomach and bowels,
in instances where rheumatic tendencies
are experienced, and where the kidneys
are weak, it is the true resort.
