able. The National colors predominant,
and many beautiful views of the flag are
afforded through open spaces of the foliage
and above the branches of the trees in the
resident quarter of the city.
The citizens of Petaiuma-the ladies as
well as the voters-are doing all that peo-
pie can be expected to do to make the
guardsmen happy. The officers have re-
ceived many tokens of social hospitality,
and the men in line are afforded oppor-
tunity to entertain and be entertained. No
complaints of extortionate charges have
been registered and the boys of the Fifth
Regiment are not upbraided because they
do not squander money right and left in
the shops and saloons.
The usual liberty of going out of camp
to see the town and country is conferred
on the guardsmen, and they embrace the
chance to view city famous for its gar
dens. foliage and trees. The endowment
of nature and the culture bestowed by the
jewellers in the city have made it pictur-
esquely attractive, although the beauty of
repose is one of its charms. Petaluma has
never cared much for booms and advertise
ments. There is deal of solid wealth in
the community and a wider field of indi-
vidual activity than has been developed.
There has been no feverish ambition for
the acquisition of wealth by speculation in
real estate. The people comprehend that
the distance to San Francisco should be
covered in one hour by rail and water,
whereas it now requires two hours to
make the journey. It may be properly
judged that San Francisco has more in
terest than Petaluma in the matter of
quick communication between the two
points.
The new woman lives in Petaluma.
Some people have been looking for her at

Surrey for the Nesc Electric Road Has
Been Completed.
STOCKTON, CAL, June 1.-THE survey
for an electric railroad between Stockton
and Lodi was finished last week and the
work of grading for the roadbed will COM
mence here tomorrow. The enterprise is
being pushed by ex-Congressman James
A. Louttit, Harry G. Bum of Chicago and
Mr.. Hartzell, who was at one time con-
nected with the San Mateo Electric Rail-
way.
This will bring the rich farming and
fruit region about Lodi into closer relation
with Stockton. and will be the means of
saving a great deal to both the rancher
and the fruit-grower in moving their prod
ucts. When the road is in operation, the
fruit can be brought here in time to go on
the evening boats, and thus give the grow
ers closer communication with the San

Stockton Refuses the Proposition of the

STOCKTON, CAL, June 1.-THE Com
mercial Association held a special meeting
tonight to receive the report of the COM
mittee appointed to ascertain what could
be done in the way of securing land on the
water front in order to make counter
proposition to the representatives of the
Corral Hollow Railway project. 1t was
found that it would cost $25, 900, at the
least calculation, and that this sum could
not be raised now by the citizens of this
city. The association expressed the opin-
ion that if they could market their coal
here at profit the railway from the mines
would come here anyway.
Colonel George Sperry said that if the
coal was what it is reported to be, the
mills here would agree to make contract
for ten years if the company would sell for
So ton, which would mean revenue to
the coal men from the mills alone of $780,
600 year.
1t was finally decided that the associa-
ton would assist in getting rights of way
and franchises from the San Joaquin River,
but further than this it would not bind
itself. The Corral Hollow people will be
notified to this effect tomorrow. It is
highly probable that the coal people will
build the road here anyway, instead of
to Mohrs Landing, as has been contem-
plated by them.
KNOCKED UNDER THE WHEELS.
II Conductor Charged With the Death of
Tramp at Stockton.
STOCKTON, CAL, June IA young
man who was beating his way on Sacra-
mento-bound train, which passed through
this city at 2 o'clock this morning, was
knocked from the train by the conductor,
according to the story of another tramp
who was put off the train, and the wheels
passed over the middle of his body.
The man was killed directly in front of
the pottery works, and after the train had
pulled out from the depot man, giving his
name as NJ. J. Carr, approached Officer
Salbach and notified him of the accident.
He said that he was riding on the car with
the man who was killed, and as the train
slowed up coming into Stockton the con-
ductor, armed with club, proceeded to
force them off the train. He struck Carr
and then hit the other man, knocking him
under the wheels.
Nothing was found on the dead mans
person to disclose his identity. He was
fairly well dressed and had gold watch.
There was cash on the top of his head,
which could have been inflicted by blow
administered with club. In one of his
pockets was scrap of paper bearing the
address, "Mrs. McCrocken, 365 Minnie. u
probably meaning that address on Minna
street, San Francisco. On his arm the
initials 30. b." are tattooed. At the in
quest tonight no blame was attached to
the conductor.

says, is progressive and in hearty SYM

The other Lutheran bodies antagonizs
it IS un-Lutheran and too broad.
Continuing, DR.. Butler states:-
'sThe General Synod everywhere stands
for open pulpits and open communion

Lutheran church anywhere to restrain
