A book of Mark Twain's that
is seldom mentioned is The
Golden Age" 1t was written
in collaboration with Charles
Dudley Warner and is by
many regarded as one of the
very best works of the Ian
guage. The play of "Col. Sci
lers" in which the actor John 7. |
Raymond made such a great
success, was taken from THE
Golden Age" Perhaps the
public has thought there was
little in the book besides Col. |
Sellers. This is great mis-
take. Col. Sellers is merely
one of a score of characters.
The real feature is its story of
Washington life. Half of the
best sketches on lobbying and
the workings of the depart
ments of the government of
the United States are cribbed
from THE Golden Age"
Mark Twain is a living exam
plar of the truism that few of
the good writer's have any
business ability. He became
a partner in a big publishing
house and all hands made
money off his work. The COM
pany brought out the Grant
memoirs and thought it had a
diamond field with a free mill
ing gold quartz quarry on the
side. The memoirs of Sherman
and Sheridan did not take at
all and the company failed. In
the general wreck the claims
were lodged against Mark
Twain and he was shorn like a
sheep by machinery. The per-
manent financial successes of
life are not a great many.
This is probably because so
many of them fail to figure
that there is really such thing
as money market.
| We have wheels to burn as
Chimmie Fadden would say.
By constant writing and
pleading we have convinced the
Monarch people that we mast
have more wheels and our Or
ders must be filled in full, so as
to enable us to supply the de-
mand for these celebrated
wheels. We have always run
out long before the next ship
ment arrived and it is even
: hard to convince a prospective
buyer that we do not like to
| sell the last sample we have
and induce him to wait few
days for the arrival of more.
When people want Monarch
they want it bad-must have
it at once. Now we think we
have enough of all kinds to
carry us along until the next
shipment. The manufacturers
can not turn wheels out fast
enough to supply the demand
and try to satisfy all agents by
sending them all a few,
but they have needed our
urgent demand and sent our
full order.
We have, besides a lot of the
: No. 9 and No. 10, some $4,000
ladies wheels, which we have
been asked for SO often.

OUT OF SAN RAFAEL JAIL
The SANTA ROSA BUNKO MEN ES-
CAPE THE MESHES OF
THE LAW.
OBTAIN FREEDOM BY AID OF A
LAWYER AND WRIT OF
HABEAS CORPUS.

SAN RAFAEL, March 20.-James Fox
and j. L. Swain, the two men arrested
yesterday at San Anselmo and lodged in
the county Jail here for trying to swindle
Farmer Crane near Santa Rosa. are again
at liberty, an energetic attorney and a
writ of habeas corpus securing their re-
lease.
Bright and early this morning the attor-
ney for the two confidence men appeared
at the courthouse and swore out a writ of
habeas corpus. The jail is in the same
building and it was not long before Fox
and Swain. stepped from their cells and
they lost no time in making for Point San
Pedro and boarding a steamer for San
Francisco.
When Sheriff Allen and a deputy
arrived on the first train from Santa Rosa
they hurried TO the jail. It was 10 o'clock
when they appeared and demanded the
prisoners. To their chagrin they learned
that the men had been released AS there
had been no counterfeit money found upon
them, and as there had been no warrant
telegraphed for their arrest, the Marion
county officials had been unable to retain
the bunko men.

SHARP TACTICS OF A HIRED MAN
WORRY A CONFIDING
RANCHER.

SANTA ROSA, March 20.-Frank Pow
ers, a farmer who lives in Sonoma County,
near the Napa line, recently sold his ranch
to his hired man, ]. E. Rudolf, and gave
him the deeds after receiving part pay
ment for the land. Rudolf has filed the
deeds, but has neglected to pay the bal
ance, and now Powers is anxiously looking
for the purchaser and the rest of the
money.
Rudolf had been working for Powers for
two years past. Recently he expressed a
desire to buy Powers farm. After much
dickering. the deal was made last Monday,
and Rudolf took possession of the place,
placing his wife in charge.
Powers and Rudolf came here Tuesday
to cash sight draft which the latter had
on San Francisco bank, the money for
which he was to turn over to Powers in
Santa Rosa, where he said grocery firm
that knew him would cash it. But he
failed to carry out this part of the pro-
gramme. Instead, he gave Powers the
Slip and Powers has failed to find him.
To-day Powers went to the Recorder s
office and found that the deed had been
recorded.
Where Rudolf and his draft are now is
the question which Powers would like to
have satisfactorily explained. Part of the

Attempt to Kill the Store
keeper.
AN ACCOUNT. BOOK SAVES HIM
1t Turns the Point of a Knife and the
Robber Runs Pursued by
Bullets.

COLUSA, March 20.-A small account
book tucked away in the inside pocket of
Merchant H. Jacobson's coat saved his
life this morning, for it checked the course
of a knife that was being driven straight at
his heart by burglar, whom the merchant
surprised in the act of entering his store.
At O'Clock this morning H. Jacobson,
OF the firm of E. and H. jacobson. furniture
dealers, who sleeps in the store, heard a
suspicious noise at the rear door. Selling
his revolver and donning trousers and
coat, Jacobson quietly went to the place
where he heard the noise.
He saw a man crouching by the door
with an auger in his hand, and also saw
that there were a number of holes about
the lock which the burglar had bored.
Jacobson is a man of nerve. He quickly
unlocked the door and shouted "hands up!"
The robber rose, and as he did so Jacob
son saw the glittering blade of knife in
the burglars hand. Quick as a flash the
latter lurched forward and with vicious
thrust sent the knife at point directly
over Jacobson's heart. At the same instant
the merchant fired. The robber staggered.
wheeled on his heel and escaped in the
darkness, followed by several more bullets.
Jacobson then examined himself to see
if he had been injured. The knife had cut
through his coat and half way through a
small account book.
Police Officer Crosson heard the shot and
was soon at the scene. After hearing the
story of Jacobson he began search ON the
premises.
He found several splashes of blood about
Of ha c+a ha
showing that the shot fired from the mer-
chants pistol must have taken effect. The
bloody trail of the robber was soon lost, as
the rain had effaced the stains.
Merchant Jacobson related the facts of
his encounter with the robber as follows
II was awakened by hearing what sup
posed to be the back wire door slam, and
as the wind was blowing, came to the
conclusion that l had neglected to fasten
it. When / heard something else which
sounded like some one boring-pulling the
bit and commencing again-I got up and
put on my coat, and taking my pistol, stole
softly up to the door, and, sure enough,
some one was busy boring holes above the
lock.
II waited until he commenced to bore
again when 1 quietly unlocked the door,
and pulling it quickly open thrust out my
pistol and ordered hands up, thinking I
might be able to capture him.
"Instead of throwing up his hands he
made vicious lunge at me with knife,
| cutting through my coat and half way
through my pocket account book
"As he struck at me fired and he ran.
I stepped out of the door and fired two
more shots as he disappeared down the
alley.
"Officer Crosson soon put in an appear
ance, and we discovered blood near the
door, SO my first shot must have caught
him in the forearm or hand, as that is
| about all l could see of him. / consider
myself very lucky, and it is the last time
I will ever open a door when thief is
working on it. The next time 1 shall fire
through the door"

It is advisable that the deciduous fruit
growers OF the State organize into local associa-

the fruit OF their members, and for the sake of
efficiency and economy it is advisable to make
use OF the existing citrus organizations for sell

mutually profitable.
The local organizations when formed should

description stopped at 5 o'clock this morn
ing at farmhouse three-quarters of a mile
southwest of Auburn and begged glass of
milk He was seen to cross the railroad
track and start toward the Stuck Flats, in
the direction of Tacoma. Deputies at
Auburn were notified and the Pierce
County deputies at Sumner and Puyallup
and King County's deputies at Kent
started at once for the fats. The report
comes this evening that they are endeavor-
ing to circle the flats in the hope of bring
ing Blanck to bay.
People at Puyallup are much excited
over Blanck's escape, as Constable Jeffery
whom he killed at Meeker September 80
last was very popular there. Should he be
caught near Puyallup summary Justice is
liable so be dealt out.
The mystery as to Blancks identity is
partially cleared away by information Sc

CROOKED ELECTION METHODS
DISCOVERY OF MORE EVIDENCE OF
FRAUD AT THE TOLEDO
PRIMARIES.
EVIDENCE SUFFICIENT TO CONVICT
SEVERAL OF THE PROMINENT
MANIPULATORS

TOLEDO, Ohio, March 20.-The Board
of Elections to-day discovered additional
evidence of crooked work in connection
with the primary elections last Friday
night.
In canvassing the vote of the Second
Ward it was found that the returns from
one precinct was missing, and what has
become of them is not known. It is asserted
that they would have elected the anti
Major delegates, and consequently placed
the men in minority in the convention.
There was some talk to-day of a special
session of the Grand Jury being called to
investigate the alleged corrupt practices.
The opponents of Major claimed to have
evide nee sufficiently strong to convict sew
er al of his prominent workers.

farm sold is in Sonoma County and part OF
1t is in Napa County. On inquiring Pow
ers has ascertained that a deed for that
part of the land in Napa County has been
left at the Recorders Office for record, but
Rudolf is not in Napa. The draft was for
$500. 1t is quite possible that Rudolf will
return and turn over the draft.
Meanwhile Rudloff's wife is in possession
OF the ranch, and as some money has
passed it is question whether or not the
title has passed to Rudloff. Powers is
watching the county records to see if Rud-
loft files new deed of the land to his wife
or third party.

Facts That Point to Possible Murder In
the Clancy Case.
REDWOOD CITY, March 20.-Although
John Clancy says he killed his father Sun
day night at Colma in self defense, the ev-
ldence at the coroner's inquest would
seem to indicate that a murder had been
committed. The old mans head and face
were bruised and battered in way that
showed that something more deadly than
a INST had been used in striking the blows.
To-day young Clancy's shoes were exam
lned and on them were found blood and
hair, showing that he had kicked and
stamped on his father.
The coroner's jury decided that young
Clancy had caused his fathers death, but
made no recommendation.

HEALDSBURG THEFT CASE
TRIAL OF THREE MEN ACCUSED
OF HAVING STOLEN
HORSES.
LACK OF EVIDENCE RESULTS IN
THE DISMISSAL OF De-
PENDANTS.

HEALDSBURG, March 20.-The court
room was crowded this morning when the
hearing of T. L. Neely, his son, William
Neely, and Frederick Brott, charged with
house-stealing, came up.
No case has excited as much interest in
Northern Sonoma for many months, for
the accused are well known.
When A. H. Clyma, the complaining
witness, was put on the stand, he told a
remarkable story of peculiar bill of sale.
and backed up his story by the document
which had been recorded.
By the terms of the agreement Neely
transferred his livery-stable stock to Clyma
for $3353. OF this amount $40 was to be
paid down, $500 in six months and the bal
ance in one year.
Clyma did not have the $10 so Neely
gave him receipt for it and let it go.
Clyma was also to have the use of the
fine building belonging to Mrs. Neely rent
free for six months, while, to cap the cl1-
max, Neely was to drive a bus to and
from all trains for half a year fme of
charge.
Undoubtedly it was a cinch measure of
Neely's to evade payment of security
debt. which was settled last week.
According to the sworn statement of
Clyma, Neely forcibly took possession of
his (Clyma's) stable Monday and pro-
ceeded to do business against his
wishes. He claimed to have fulfilled
his part of the agreement, having
at later day paid Neely the $40 due him, :,
and when the former owner started to use
his horses and vehicles Clyma had the trio
arrested.
The examination of Clyma by Neely's
attorneys was thorough, but they failed to
break down his testimony in any way.
After hearing the evidence for the prose
cution motion to dismiss the case for

Rain in Sonon,a.

SONOMA, March 20.-Three-quarters of
an inch of rain fell last night in this valley,
which was most welcome and insures late
cultivation in orchard and vineyard and a
bountiful harvest of hay and grain and
late feed for stock. Evide ntly the frost of
last week damaged apricots, which will be
a light crop. Peaches were evenly dis
tributed and the frost saves the expense of
thinning out fruit. This possibly will be
better appreciated later on. Apples, pears,
plums and grapes were not advanced suffi-
GENTLY to receive injury from frost.
