A. c. Hinl1son, Chairman Of the Citi-
zens' Committee, gives notice that on
Friday evening Of this week, at O'Clock,
there will be a mass meeting of citizens
held at the Courthouse to arrange for set
ting in operation vigorous, honorable

ton of Sacramento as the place for the
sitting Of the Democratic State Conven-
ton.
The call is urgent, and appeals TO those
feeling the slightest interest in the mat
ter TO be present to advise. and by their
presence encourage. The belief is enter
tanned that reasonable hope is justified that
The convention may be secured for this
city. But, as in the case of the Republi-
can Convention, it requires personal ex-
ertion on the part of the many, and to OBJ
tain this aud the advice Of the people the
meeting is called.

Why Judge Catlin Decided Against

Yesterday Judge Catlin filed his decis-
ion in the case of Edwin +. Smith, Secre-
tary of the State Agricultural Society,
against r. Murphy, horseman, to re-
cover the payment of $500 due on note
executed by him.
Murphy. who lives in Mendocino, en-
tered some trotters at a State Fair meet
ing. He failed to pay the required en-
trance fees, amounting to SOU. Subse-
quently, at a meeting IN Oakland. Secre-
tary Smith objected TO Murphy being al
lowed to run his horses, on the ground
that he was indebted 10 the State Agri-
cultural Society.
Then Murphy gave his note for the
amount, i'll order that his horses might
be allowed 10 run, and on this note that
Judgment was given against him by
Justice Henry. Murphy's defense was
that the consideration of the note was
illegal and contrary TO good morals.
Judge Catlin finds that the execution
of the note was business matter dis
tinct from betting on races, and holds
that Murphy should pay.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
TO $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand &cres Of
land in the heart 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
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12o, 160 and $50 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 10 be paid for three years. and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual inStallments, with in
terest at the rate OF 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
surcd that this is 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 CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
fands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peoally adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 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 $50
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
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body ofSland was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Martin Matties Walks Out of the
House and Disappears.
Martin Matties, who recently came
from Switzerland and has been boarding
for the past two weeks at the Mechanics
Exchange on | street, near Second, has
disappeared.
He was sitting at table in the office
last night about s o'clock reading the
paper, when. he got up and walked
quietly out of doors without his hat, and
has not been seen since.
He was very quiet in habits and did
not drink. His board had been paid for
several days in advance. and he had had
no trouble with anyone in the house, so
that no cause can be assigned for his dis
appearance. 1t is feared that having be-
come homesick, he might have thrown
himself into the river.
He was young man of p or % years
old, of medium size, with full face, brown
hair and very small mustache, and was
dressed III gray suit OF foreign cut. The
proprietor OF the hotel would be glad to

according to Coxey and Browne, Liberty

The Commonweslers marched four
abreast, 246 strong, with many banners
and devices. At their head rode Carl
Browne In q remarkable costume. His
beard had been removed and his face
powdered. A wig OF yellow hair fell to
his waist; his arms we're bare and pow

and his body was bound with the en-
