The Yolo Election Money Squabble Set
at Rest.
Richard Fisk was acquitted by jury
last night in Justice Gill's court in Wash
ington, Yolo County. Of the charge OF
battery upon John Cropper.
The trouble between Fisk and Cropper
grew out of the allegation that the latter
had squandered sum of money that
William stevens. o candidate at the
late election for Auditor and Recorder OF
Yolo County. bad given Cropper to pay
some OF stevens election debts.
The defense attempted to introduce
testimony showing that Cropper had
said that whoever said he spent the
money was n liar. and that Fisk, censid-
ering that the language used by Cropper
applied to him, was so provoked that he
struck Cropper.
Justice Gill refused to allow that fact tn
be introduced in evidence.

1t will be noticed that with the iexception
of Washington every President down TO
the first Harrison lived out a period be-
yond what his expectation Of life was at
the time of his Inauguration; while from
Harrison down TO the present time, with
the exceptions OF Tyler and Fillmore, no
President has exceeded the expectations
of his longevity and only one other CBuch-
anan) has lived up to the limit of the eX-
pectation.
Harrison stood at the half-eeutury mark
Of the government. In the first half CEN
fury the Presidents had an expectation, at
the time of Inauguration. of living l22
years; while in the aggregate they actu-
ally lived l67 years. During the last half
century this gain over expectations was
lost and GA years in addition. The result Is
certainly striking and is thus explained
by the insurance authority; i+f
This is not TO be explained by coinci-
dence or chance. The cause lies deeper II
is true two of the last six presidents were
assassinated. but the number Of years lost
by these violent deaths represent only half
the aggregate loss The fact seems plain
to me that the presidential Office is be-
coming too heavy burden for any man
to assume without almost certain shorten
ing of his life. The responsibility is so
great, the tension so destructive that 1
never again expect to see president sur
ton. The contrast bewteen the longevity
of the early presidents and the later ones
is more noteworthy when we remember
that mdical science, household hygiene
and means of travel without exposure 10
the weather have all had wonderful de-
velopment since the days of Washington,
jefferson, the Adamses, Madison, Monroe
and Jackson. No matter how we explain
the cause, the fact remains that the early
presidents lived long lives while modern
presidents invariably die before their time.
This is the natural and probably true eX-
PLANTATION But while Il is also true that
great progress has been made In medical
science and sanitary Improvement, and
that a lower death rate is without ques-
ton being established than formerly pre-
vailed-although there are no statistics to
prove this; yet the habits of iife of the
earlier presidents were undoubtedly more
conducive to long life than those of later
presidents have been They lived more out
of doors. They travelled In the open air
and led an outdoor life after retiring from
Office Jefferson, Madison and Monroe In
the uplands of Virginia, Adams in the re-
tirement of Quincy took an abundance of
that best of all medicines fresh air and
unrestrained contact with mother earth.
A physician of large practice, whose sleep
for years had not been free from nightly
disturbance, was once asked how he had
managed to retain his good health. He ex-
planned it by his passing so much time rid
ing in the open air. Modern life, with all
its medical and sanitary attachments, has
imposed such a strain and such depriva-
tions and such habits upon men in profess
sional and official callings as largely II not
more than to overcome any of the physical
gains.

Mr.. Allen Flanigen, a prosperous young
farmer of Jackson county, is an example
of the success that attends diversified
farming. He has abandoned cotton almost
entirely, but raises enough corn for home
consumption. He raises tobacco. having
twelve acres in that crop and finds it to
be very profitable. Last year he planted
an acre in onions as an experiment and
cleared $l67 on the crop. This induced
him to plant fifteen acres in onions this
year, which is the largest onion patch in
Georgia. He also cultivates grapes, hav-
ing a vineyard that covers five acres, and
which nets him over 500 per acre. This
year he cleared over $3.50 on Strawberries
and that, too, where no large city was
close TO his farms.

LARGEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
Death OF Albert MILESTONE, Who
weighed over Four Hundred.

From the San Francisco Examiner
Eureka, Cal-The largest man in the
world, Albert milestone, is dead. At
least he was called, and called himself.
the largest man in the world, and. he was
certainly of size to make him remarka-
BILE.
milestone died on June 10, at Fortuna,
in this county. and was at all events,
certainly the largest man in the United
States. He was born in Atlanta, Ind, on
March II, 1867, and when 4 years of age
was the smallest of a family of seven
children At the age Of he was scarcely
able to walk, and could talk but little.
He made up for this lack of stature in
later years, but like all very large men,
he never was very strong.
He came of family noted for large size.
His mother, who is still living, weighs Slj
pounds, and she has two brothers weigh
ing 800 pounds apiece. She also has two
sons, each of whom is over six feet in
hight and each Of whom also weighs over
800 pounds.
When milestone was years old a
kick in the head from horse gave him Il
mental injury from which he never fully
recovered and one year later he began to
grow tall, and at the same time to take
on flesh at an alarming rate. When %
years old he was or enormous proportions,
and having attracted the attention OF
Snowman he was engaged TO and made
an exhibition tour of the eastern states.
He was a drawing card for the
Snowman, making plenty OF money for the
management, but along with his mental
weakness he had the eonfiding disposition
Characteristic Of humanity of the extreme
w large sort, and was easily beaten ont
Of the greater part Of his share of the re-
ceipts
He quit the show business after the first
experience, and in February, 1891, came to
Humboldt county with his parents and has
resided here ever since. He was not con-
tent out of a museum, however, and Just
before his death, which was due TO apo
plexy had made a contract to 90 on ex-
hibition in San Francisco museum.
At the time of his death he weighed 49G
pounds, and was of such enormous proper
lions that it was necessary TO cut a hole
in the sides Of the house in order TO re-
move the body. The coffin consumed 10l
feet of lumber and weighed 100 pounds 1t
was feet inches long, 30 inches wide
and 20 inches deep.
Owing to it's size, the funeral services
could not be held IN the church, as the
doors were too small to admit of its en-
trance, and the sermon was preached out
under the trees. Ten men were needed as
palI-bearers, and the funeral was attend
ed by people from all over the country.
