A VIPER'S DEATH.

As sit within my arhor
This sunny summer day,
Just before me les the harbOr
With ships still far away.
Upon the seat close beside me
\ polished dagger rests:
An heirloom I've valued highly.
By ancient Kings possessed.
| watch the sea and watch the sky
And watch the ships at sea.
And think Of Gods close watching eve
And wonder, Where is He"
Still musing here, ! fall asleep.
But Waktn soon, in fear:
\ poison viper is near my cheek
Ills rattleS now hear.
Yet moving not, l watch so still,
Each heart beat plain hear.
And think, if it is Gods will.
III die, though life is dear.
Before he moves it seems an age.
But now he's on the ground
fear him not, but full OF rage
quickly glance around.
Soon kill him with the dagger.
And hold him high in air:
Gladly to my feet Stagger,
For now I'm free from care.
The "Morrell Cure" is death to snakes"
Tho in your boots they re found;
King Alcohol his death awaits,
If long he fingers round.
The Morrell Cure is sure to cure
Each patient who will come:
No longer then your woes endure.
But come and quit your rum.
You now love rum, Wen change to hate
That appetite Of yours;
Yours need not be the drunkard's fate;
The Morrell ARRAYS cures. "
Then death 10 snakes, and death to rum.
And death to all that's bad:
The Morrell Cure To rescue comes
II comes to make men glad.

MINING SUIT DECIDED.
An Accounting and Injunction Against
the Champion Company.

An Accounting and Injunction Against
the Champion Company.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 13.--Decision in
mining suit involving millions of dol
lars was rendered to-day in the United
States Court. The case is that of the
Consolidated Wyoming Gold and Silver
Mining Company against the James
Champion Gold Mining Company. Judge
Beatty delivered the decision, though it
was rendered by Judge Hawley of Ne
vada.
The action was for an injunction and
an accounting of very valuable mining
property which has been in litigation in
the State and Federal Courts of Nevada
for many years. The complainant and
respondent own adjoining mining loca-
| tions. The point in issue was the owner
ship Of a valuable lead or ledge OF ore
running under ground from the Wyom-
ing mine into the Champion properly.
In his decision Judge Hawley grants
the accounting and injunction as prayed
for.
1t is estimated that the amount involved
in the suit is some S300O,0 900 or more, and
the Champion company has already paid
some S2,000,000 out in dividends, which
largely came from the disputed ore.

young and pretty, and far above the other
Portuguese in point of intelligence and
manners. She moved in American So

thought of by all. Rodriguez was in
sanely jealous, and had on more than one
occasion threatened to kill his wife He
finally determined TO leave her for good,

Strong Resolutions Passed by the
Shasta Democrats.
At the Democratic County Convention
held at Redding, Shasta County, on
Saturday last, the following ringing
resolutions were passed:
WHEREAS, One OF the fundamental
principles of the Democratic party is that
protection, particularly of the Mckinley
bill species, means the taxation of the
many for the enrichment Of the few; and
whereas, the Democratic party has won
the confidence of the people and The con-
troll OF the Government by it's pledge to
enact this principle into law; and
whereas. In the attempt to carry out this
pledge the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives have been and are opposed by
a Senatorial trust in close alliance with
the coal and iron trust mOnOpolieS and
sugar trust; and whereas, This Sena-
torial trust endeavored, as did Congress-
man Geary in the House, to force upon
the Democratic House and upon Demo-
cratic President tariff framed in the in
terests of corporations and trusts, and to
accomplish its purpose this Senatorial
trust, led by Senator German of Mary
land, has INDUCED in aspersions and in
suits upon those leaders who have been
true to Democratic principles; and
whereas, Foremost amongst these
traitors to Democratic PRINCIPLES and
these tools of corporations, monopolies
and trusts is Senator Arthur z. German
in the Senate, and Thomas j. Geary in
the House of Representatives; and
whereas. 1t is the duty of all free Demo-
Gratis to lend every aid to Grover Cleve-
land and the faithful leaders of the House
of Representatives in defending the in
terests of the people against the schemes
Of the Senatorial trusts and their allies in
the House, and to resent and hurl back
the insults offered him ana them; there
fore be it
ResotUed, By the Democrats of Shasta
County in convention assembled
First-That we cordially indorse the
Wilson bill and the principles upon
which it is framed, and the efforts of the
great Democratic leader and patriot,
Grover Cleveland, to carry out in good
faith the platform and principles of the
Democratic party.
Second-That we repudiate and con-
demn Senator German and Congressman
Geary for their acts and votes against the
passage of the Wilson bill, as treacherous
and traitorous to the great principle OF
tariff reform on which the great Demo-
cratic party won such a signal triumph
in 1892.

WOODLAND, Aug. 13.-Judge Fisher
denied the motion to dismiss the charge
of murder brought against Knox. Wor-
den, Compton, Hatch and MulHn to-day.
The attorney for the defendants last week
had asked that the case be dismissed for
lack of testimony to convict.
A large crowd gathered in the court
room TO hear the decision of Judge
Fisher, and the opinion was expressed
that some of the defendants would be
discharged. Those who had not attended
the trial, and who gained their impress
sion of the weight of the evidence against
the men from some of the San Francisco
papers, were sure that Judge Fisher
would not hold them for trial, conse-
quently their surprise was great when he
refused to entertain the motion for dis
missal.
in the course of his remarks Judge
Fisher referred in strong language to the
crime with which the defendants are
charged, and a scene was caused when
Mrs. Knox, who sat by her husband in
the courtroom, broke down and cried
bitterly.
Much sympathy was felt for the un-
fortunate woman, whose SoDS punctuated
the decision that held her husband for
examination on charge that may con-
sign him to the gallows. Knox displayed
little emotion until his wife's tears caused
him to turn toward her.
WOrden, for whom little sympathy is
expressed, showed his usual bravado,
and as he was taken to the County Jail
turned on Deputy Sheriff Mem urty and
struck him in the face. For an instant
the officer was stunned, but, recovering
himself. sprang upon Worden, and be-

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-Judge Coffey
rendered a decision that puts an end to
one of San Francisco's many sensational
will contests. The court denied the ap-
plication of Harriet Schenck, colored
woman, for a family allowance out of the
estate of the late p. n. Mackay. For
years Harriet Schenck was known as
Mackay's housekeeper.
In Mackay's will, which provided for
the distribution of an estate valued at
S355, 600, there was a provision that his
eolored housekeeper should have an al
lowance of 500 per month for life, but
when the will came up for probate the
negro woman came into court with a
coffee-colored infant and set up the claim
that she was Mackay's widow, and that
the baby was his son and heir. She
claimed to have nursed the capitalist
through severe illness in this city, and
that afterward in 1888 he took her to New
York, and there she was married to him.
