ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.


The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres 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, 120, 16o and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
ure 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 instalments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to 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 Z per cent. per snnum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
surcd that this is an 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-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 TO
800 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
homeseekers 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 81 o 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 of land was the breaking UP Of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

"The Kid " Accused of the Murder OF
- Cowboy Phi1Iey.
PHOENIX, A. T., September 1.-THE
murder OF Horace Philley near Reno
Mountain week ago has been found to
be the work of the famous Apache rene
gade, "The Kid" Charles Montgomery,
travelling scientist, met "The Kid "
two days before the murder in the VAL
ley of Cherry Creek, thirty miles east OF
Reno, and had long conversation with
the fellow. "The Kid" who speaks
good English, was very inquisitive as to
what had been done by the authorities
toward his capture, and was well aware
that a reward of 5000 had been offered
for his head, dead or alive. Several
other Indians were with him, and lett
him and accompanied Montgomery back
to Globe, forty miles distant. From
Cherry creek "The Kid was travelling
across Tento creek to Reno Mountain,
where he met and killed young Philley.
Mounting Philley's horse and approprl-
ating the dead cowboys weapons, the
little Apache then retraced his steps to-
ward San Carlos on the White Mountain
Apache reservation. Sherltf thompson

"An English committee has been sent

"That England, a foreign country and
one which pays less than one-third az
much money per capita for the educa-
ton of its people as the States pay,
should assume the role of missionary to
teach us our duty can but excite ridicule
as well as resentment. If this commit
tee is sincere in its efforts to suppress
lynching, it is sadly wanting in common
sense not to have learned this much of
human nature. Ny advice to the COM
mittee, if it is indeed in earnest and
honest, is to 60 home"

UNHAPPY MARRIAGES.
A Divorce Suit Follows the Turner
Jameson EIopement.


Jameson Elopement.
SAN FRANCISCO, September IA di-
vorce suit was filed in the Superior Court
to-day, asking that the marriage between
Laughlin P. Jameson and Mrs. Lulu
Gertrude Jameson be annulled. The
suit is the outcome of the elopement Of
one Turner with Mrs. Jameson from
Victoria, when the deserted husband un-
successfully pursued his wife about San
Francisco for the intention of regaining
the woman and killing the man. Mrs.
Jameson was Lulu Gertrude Mason of
Antioch, CAL, where she lived until she
was Is years old. Then she went to
Port Angeles, Wash, to join her father
in his home there, and was soon after
ward married to Jameson, with whom
she removed to Victoria. After being
married eight years she eloped with
Turner, a gay member of Victoria's best
set. Turner and Mrs. Jameson are now
living in Apartado, Mexico, where boy
was born to them in April. They are
represented as being anxious to marry.
When Jameson found they had escaped
from the country he gave up the pur-
suit, and directed Attorney LIE Phillips
to begin suit for divorce, charging de-
sertion. The papers were prepared long
ago. Jameson was repeatedly written
to to come and attest them, but ignored
the letters. Since Mrs. Jameson will
not return, Phillips considers it better to
set her free to be married to Turner and
legitimize the boy, now 7 months old.
For that reason Phillips concluded to at
test the complaint himself and compel
the attendance and testimony of jamie
son. Mrs. Hamilton at Antioch has re-
ceived several letters from Mrs. jamie
son, and in one, dated City of Mexico,
July 5, Mrs. Jameson wrote:
"Baby was born April II. took the
childbirth fever, and have been i'll. Now
l have to wear glasses, because my eyes
are so weak. My baby is fine big boy,
but he has been very i'll. The climate
of Mexico is the worst in the world for
little children; they die so quickly.
Will you take my boy and raise him un-
til he is about 2 years old? l will pay
what you ask. God knows it is hard for
me to part with him, but I must. So,
when you answer this, will you tell me
whether you would care to take my little
boy, for l know no one loves him like his
mother? Mr.. Turner is receiving $13O a
month, but it takes money to live in
Mexico. My baby's name is Arthur Mel
son Turner. He has big, blue eyes and
fair hair. He is a handsome boy, if 1
do say it,"
Mrs. Hamilton could not take the
baby, and the child is still in Mexico.

Twelve Bodies Have Been Taken From
the Wreck.
PARIS, September 1.-THE disaster to
the Paris and Cologne express train at
Apilli, between Noyon and Chauny, yes
terday was more serious than at first
supposed. The first estimates placed
the number of persons killed at ten, with
twenty injured. Twelve bodies have
already been taken from the wreck. The
accident was due to the slow shunting OF
freight train at Apilli. The engineer
of the express saw the cars on the line,
and reversed the engine. The shock OF
the collision was borne by the three front
cars. As soon as the accident became
known priest and others hurried to the
railroad station, and did everything to
assist the dying and injured. The re-
port that the station master at Ap1lll
had committed suicide by jumping in
front of the express train when he saw
the collision was inevitable turns out in
correct. The station master ran along
the track to signal the express and the
freight train, and was caught between
the two trains and killed. It seems
certain there were Americans among the
killed or injured.

Reason Why tho Trancontinental Lines

ST. PAUL, September 11.-An official
OF the Great Northern tonight gave the
press the following statement of inside
facts of the recent unsuccessful attempt
to reorganize the Transcontinental As
ISOLATION. The representatives of the
transcontinental lines adjourned Satur-
day night without having made any de-
cided progress in the formation of An as
ISOLATION. The Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company was asked to be-
come member of the association, which
was to be established for the maintenance
of rates. The road signified its willing
ness, and was represented at the meet
ing, but requested before an organic
alton was made that it be placed on
terms of equality with the other trans
continental lines by an equal represen-
tation of tickets with the Southern Pa
cific that other lines through Portland
enjoyed, claiming the right in connection
with its steamship lines to make the
came rates through Portland az were
made by the Pacific Steamship Company
through Seattle. 1t did not ask for diff
ferential fares, but simply for equal rates.
The Southern Pacific Company declined
to interchange traffic with the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company I'M
less it would agree to maintain by its
water routes the same rates as made by
the Southern Pacific over its Shasta
route and ignore the competition of the
Pacific Steamship Company through
Seattle. The Oregon Railway and Navi-
CATION deemed this proposition unfair,
and declined to join in any agreement
till it was placed on terms of equality
with the other roads represented at the
meeting. The position of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation was fully in
dorsed by the Great Northern, with
which the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton has recently made arrangements for

1t 10 Said That jackson would NOT sign
the Articles.
CHICAGO, September 12.-Jackson has
refused to sign the articles to fight Cor
bett. Edward Lloyd, representing the
Sioux City Club, met Jackson and his
manager, "Parson" Davies, at the
Briggs House at noon. Lloyd produced
the papers. which Corbett had signed in
New York. Jackson glanced over them,
and at once said they would not do.
81 will fight for your purse and a side
bet of 81 ,O0O," he said, "but the fight
will have to come off within three
months"
"That's the idea exactly" said Da-
vies. "Corbett is ON the stage now, and
we don't intend to advertise him until
next May or June. This agreement calls
for a fight between May Is and June 10.
Now you people name your place and
make the time within the next three
months, and Jackson will sign"
This Lloyd said he could not do, and
Davies proceeded to pick flaws with the
papers. He declared the deal did not
look honest. No place was named; there
was no specification as to whether the
men would fight ten rounds or ten years
or to finish, and the whole matter had
a peculiar look. Jackson chimed in with
an objection to fighting at any outdoor
place.
"I want to fight before club and in
a house," he said. 81 don't want the
affair to take place in field or tent"
Lloyd became considerably excited
over the fun Davies poked at the papers,
but kept his temper and tried hard to
obtain the necessary signatures. He de-
clared positively, however, he could not
bring off the fight in the time specified
by Jackson.
cts three months or nothing" de-
clared Davies. and Jackson added, "That's
right" "Well, it's off," said Davies as
he picked up his hat. GO did not like
the looks of this thing, anyway"
It was announced later that Jackson
would leave for New York tonight and
Immediately sail for the West Indies,
whence he goes to London.

vertisement this fight would give him.

CORBETT HEARD FROM.
WASHINGTON, September 12.-Cham-
pion Corbett talked freely tonight con-
corning Jackson's refusal to sign articles
for fight under the auspicies of the
Sioux City Athletic Club next year. Cor
bett insisted that Jackson's objections
to the conditionsof the articles that they
failed to point out the place of fighting
and duration of fight were very trivial
and ought not to have any consideration
in the minds of people. He pointed out
in this connection that in his fight with
Mitchell there was no certainty regard
ing the place and time of the fight, even
the day before the battle.
"Will you accommodate Jackson by
agreeing to fight him within three
months as he desires?" Corbett was
asked.
Certainly; will fight him in three
months, or in two weeks, and even to-
morrow, if it were possible" replied

NEW YORK, September 1.-THE in
vestigation of the police department was
resumed to-day by the Lexow commit
tee of the State Senate. Mr.. Golf was
inquisitor-in-chief. He first stretched
Detective Sergeant Charles A. Hanley
upon the rack. The handsome gold
watch which Hanley carried served for
text for COTS interrogations, which
were directed to showing the police were
upon too friendly terms with the pawn
brokers for the good of the public, and
that it was not uncommon for pawn
brokers to sell officers valuable articles
at ridiculously low prices. Golf also
questioned Hanley as to his relations
with Jimmy McNally, well known as
"Green-G Goods Jim," the nterrogations
implying the thief taker had accepted
gifts at the hands of the man whom he
denounced as thief. The detective was
asked if he ever received money from
McNally, and made an equivocal answer.
This was followed by the question if he
had not received from McNally two
handsome banquet lamps. His reply
was:
"I don't know anything about tho
lamps. My wife got them"
