VANDALISM At FRESNO.
The Body Of august Moden6Gch Stolen
From q Cemetery.

from q cemetery.
FRESNO, CAL, July 29.-The discovery
has been made that the body of August
Modem bach has been stolen from its grave
al the Gem etery. Modenbach died eleven
days ago from the effects of injuries re-
ceived in q railroad accident. He was
driving across the Southern Pacific track
when his wagon was struck and he re-
ceived a concussion of the brain. He lived
two days, dying at the County Hospital.
The discovery that the grave had been
rifed was made Saturday afternoon, but
the officers kept the fact secret.
Saturday night the sexton of the ceme-
terry opened the grave and found that the
coffin and body had been taken. In their
hurry the vandals had broken off one of
the handles of the coffin and left it buried
in the grave. There was but little attempt
to remove evidences of the crime The
headboard and footboard were not re-
placed when the grave was refilled, and
the mound was made about nine feet long
The officers suspect certain man, but as
yet they have little evidence against him.
Modenbach was a young German and
had no relatives in this country, his father
and mother being in Berlin. He showed
remarkable vitality, and this is the only
thing, it is thought, that would make his
case interesting to doctors or medical
students. The body had laid in the grave
q full week before it was exhumed.

BLooMERs At PORTLAND.
They Are Endorsed From the Pmlptt by
Rer. Il. p. BOUd.


PORTLAND, July 29.-Rev. Thomas P.
Boyd sprang sensation at the Centenary
NJ. E. Church last night by discussing
boomers and bicycles. The Centenary
Church is an old, conservative institution
and Rev. Mr.. Boydis is the new pastor. hav-
ing supplanted the Rev. Mr.. Denison in
the pulpit.
His liberal views of bloomer-girls drew
a full attendance, and the three city cyc-
ling clubs were well represented. His ad-
dress was on the subject "The Bicycle as a
Factor in Moral Questions" and his text,
drawn from Ezekiel, was "The Spirit of
Life Was in Wheels"
Rev. Mr.. BOYD, who is wheelman him
self and who rides to his pastoral duties
regularly, condemned the desecration of
the Sabbath by cycle riding. Despite that
Holy Writ said that woman shall not
wear that which appertains to man." the
minister thought that comfort and free
dom of appropriate dress rested safely in
the hands of the bloomer-girls, providing
they did not give way to the temptation of
making their skirts too short or their
knickerbockers too small in order to dis
play the shapely human form.

mind that if it gave the additional 230 feet
to the Valley road it was doing enough to
protect its interests, and it was plainly to
be seen throughout the arguments, which
were lengthy, that they would give the
Corral Hollow road what it asked for.
Councilman Koch championed the cause
of the Valley road and endeavored to
place a provision in the franchise, by
which any other road receiving a fran
chise along the north bank of Mormon
Channel might use the tracks of the coal
road at figure to be agreed upon between
them and if they were unable to agree the
right OF liking the compensation for such
use should fall upon the Council.
This was not carried and Attorney
Levinsky, who acted for the Corral Hol-
low road throughout the proceedings, gave
legal reasons why it should not be. Le-
whisky also made proposition on behalf
OF the coal road to the representatives OF
the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley
road, namely, that if the latter considered
the track nearest the water of the most ad-
vantage they would enter into an agree
ment to change the position of the tracks,
allowing the Valley road to take what it
considered best.
Mr.. Watt said that this was very liberal
Offer and was what his co-workers in San
Francisco had been trying to arrange.
However, no understanding was arrived
at, and the matter of granting the fran
chlse under discussion was put to vote of
the Council. 1t was passed by four votes,
Koch alone voting against it. This is the
initial step in granting the franchise, which
cannot be finally passed until thirty days
more have elapsed. 1t is very probable as
suggested by Attorney Levinsky, that in
the meantime the representatives of both
roads will get together and adjust their
differences. The Council is disposed to
deal very literally with the Valley road,
which is doing so much for Stockton, but
is very anxious to bring the coal railroad
here also.

LECTURES TO FARMERS.
Regular Instruction at Camp
Roache Begun to a Good
Attendance.
A Comparison Made Between the
Farmer of Half Century Ago
and OF To-Day.

WRIGHTS, CAL, July 29.-Regular in
struction at Camp Roache began this
morning. The first lecture was by Pro-
fessor G. w. Woodwork of Berkeley on
the relation of water to plant diseases.
Professor Hilgard, detained by illness, but
the latter will be present next week.
The attendance at the first lecture was
very gratifying to the promoters of the
camp.
Professor Woodwork defined plant dis
ease as Anything that will affect the crop
of cultivated plant" The effect of para
sites and climatic conditions, he said, are
plant diseases. He gave in detail the con-
struction of plant, explaining fully the
use of each portion and the evils attend
ant upon extremes of moisture and
drought. He took up separately the
different classes of fungi common in Cali
fornia orchards, showing their method of
attacking the tree and a remedy for EACH
He spoke of cutworms and borers and their
effect on plant growth. Sucking insects
climatic conditions on the injury done by
such of them as the woolly aphis was
pointed out. A general and very beneficial
discussion followed.
The afternoon lecture on "Changes TAX
ing Place in the Condition of the Ameri-
can Farmer" by Professor E. A. Ross of
Stanford University, was exceedingly in
teresting and instructive. He compared
the farmer of to-day with the farmer of
fifty years ago and showed plainly that
while before he was merely a producer
to-day he is a business man,
a buyer, seller, a transporter
He stated that as a consequence
of these changes the farmer must
devote his attention to specialized and sta
pie farming; that scientific knowledge was
now more important than knack. He
brought out the fact that greater use of
buildings and machinery was necessary
with present methods. And hence capital
must be used and recourse must be had to
the money-lender. He showed why the
farmer of this age was interested in the
monetary policy of the Government, and
how he must study the question of
marketing more extensively than before
he must adapt himself to the conditions
of distant markets and remote consumers
and prepare himself for the competition
of to-day; he is more dependent on mid
dlemen, and to act with them intelli-
gently must learn their ways and adapt
himself to them; he must give up acting
entirely as an individual and learn to CO.
operate with his neighbors. A remarkable
interest was manifest and the committee
is already enlarging the auditorium.

Ercittna Enperie,,ce of Wheel,nam.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 2S.-Sylvester A.
Horton, wheelman of San Francisco, had
an exciting experience while coasting
down the grade near Alum Rock Park yes
terday morning. His wheel got away
from him and his ride for quarter of a
mile was terrific and he narrowly escaped
colliding with a team. Just how he passed
the team is not known, as the road is
narrow one. When he arrived at the foot
of the grade he was so overcome and ex-
cited he could hardly speak. He remem-
bered seeing the team coming and when
near it closed his eyes to await the crash.

ANDERSON, CAL, July 29.-The farm
