Picturesque California" is great light
which iilumnates this wonderland from ocean
10 the summit of the Sierras. II penetrates the
canyons and gilds the mountain tops. 1t lights
up the forests and grottoed cavernS. Ii covers
the lakes the rivers, the springs, the geysers
and the cataracts. Ii beams upon the valleys
and the plains The flower gardens and the
golden orchards. 1t shows ell OF natures hand
iwork and mans enterprise.
LIN no other country has such work been at
tempted because the subject-matter was lack
ing. Switzerland has been described over and
over again with brush and pen, but what are
the Alps as compared with the Sierras and the
glaciers OF ALASKA?
THE CALL has made Picturesque Califor-
MIA" a household book. Until now the great
work was accessible only 10 the rich aud to
those in good circumstances. The lowest price
for the complete lot was $50, and some of them
with special features sold for $1,000 A complete
set is to be had by subscribers of this paper for
So, In thirty parts. at 10 cents each.
Let it not be understood that because the
work is sold cheap 1t is a cheap work.
Very frequently. nowadays we hear of books
whose copyright has expired being sold at one
fourth of the original price. But these are
made to sell cheap and the public expects no
more than the text shall be perfect. To a large
majority of readers who do not own libraries
"Uncle Toms Cabin" on cheap paper is quite
as acceptable as the finer editions.
Not so with picturesque California" 1t is
by its very nature work for preservation.
THE CALLS edition is published from the same
plates as the original work, hence they are
equally fine. The paper is first class and each
part has an ample cover. Every one who sees
the work is surprised at its excellence. To set
at rest any doubts as TO subsequent numbers,
THE CALL here states that the parts TO follow
will be equal in every respect to the three
already issued. They will come out every two
We ks until the set is complete.
No other coast newspaper is in a position to
offer so valuable a premium 10 subscribers for
two reasons: First. the equal of Picturesque
California" for beauty has never been pub
ished elsewhere; second, THE CALL5secured
the exclusive tight for the Pacific Coast TO issue
it as premium.
Tie conditions under which this incompara-
BILE work is TO be obtained are very simple. All
THE CALL requires Is evidence that the person
shall be "a subscriber. Ii has means of asceT-
tanning through It's carriers if fraud is at
tempted or has been practced, and will protect
! Itself from impOStors.

were practical aud poignant and adj
ded great emphasis to the position as
sumed by the speaker.
He scored the boys on Sunday base

dancing, in fact social evils generally
came in for their share of Christian
condemnation. Brother Sanders is
bold in his utterances for his Mas

The Aud-TOwnS0nd trial 10 mot
lacking in interest today.
A great maGy witnesses have been
examined today, and 1t seems that af-
ter all these weeks Of guesSing and
waiting the public now has basis for
an opinion as to the guilt and innO-
ccnce of those concerned.
The opinion AH now generally 0x-
pressed is about this:
Edgar Townsend 10 innocent of any
crime, aud Ella Aud aud Wade AL
lison are the guilty parties.
Furthermore. Ella Aud is not such
an unaccountable person "a q great
many have supposed.
Here's why they think 90:
Ella Aud testified that che went to
Minco last December to marry Will
Hedrick. That while there one Wade
Allison appeared aud told her that
Hsdrick had sent him to say that he
would net marry her.
That che and Allison came to
Gainesville. That ON their next trip
to Gainesville AllisOn expressed A de-
sire to marry her, but that before he
would do 90 she must dispose Of the
child. That their plan was for her to
meet Allison at Fish Greek not later
than 5 O'Clock ON the morning OF
the 10th OF April. that she got Ed
gar Townsend to drive her there aud
after Alighting she asked him to build
up @ fre while she woul6 take the
child and 90 Wp the creek little
way.
That she delivered the child to ALI
Iison and returned to Townsend WhO
asked her about the child. She 9rst
said she had left it on . doorstep, but
being pressed said she had given it &c
