Chieago,s New pisease.

Chicago wouldn't he happy If she
couldn't be sensational, but some of the
things which draw attention to her are
not quite so desirable as she would have
them if she had the ordering Of them.
She is just now suffering from a new
disease which is much like the grip, but
which is not the grip. II is epidemic.
There are thousands of people suffering
from il. In some families only one person
is attacked; in others two or three and in
stll others all Of the members are pracu-
cally helpless from it.
The Chicago doctors claim that its ap-
pearance in Chicago is its first appear
ance in this country. While it is not a par
ticularly dangerous disease, it is likely to
result fatally If not properly treated.
Some of the symptoms are radically
different from those of the grip and
it cannot be treated with the same rene
dies that are used in the treatment of
that disease. At first the patient has
only severe cold. but he doesn't recover
as i'm an ordinary case Of cold. He be-
comes ill-often violently i'll. He has
F'6ii' ny i'N'i' NO 9S'l ''iVii'' ar lHlcl-
fered with and he has a sore throat and
headache. When he is recovering he is
remarkably weak, as in cases of grip.
The physicians have found it necessary
to avoid giving coal-tar preparations
a bad feature of the disease is the fire.
(Iuency with which lung. kidney and
heart troubles follow it,
The Chicago papers have very little
to say about it for the reason probably
that they don't want their city to be
summed, and yet it is so much like the
grip-being a species of inluenza-that
any city in fact, any part Of the country
is likely to be visited by it.

acquire the wharf leases, or buy them

word for the current congress and protests
that the seemingly popular opinion that

congress that gave the country relief

Chronicle, that the disasters we have
suffered are as nothing compared with

The bicycle having been adopted into
the armies of Germany and France. a dis
cussion that viii interest all wheelmen is
in progress in the war Offices at Berlin
and Paris. How shall the bicycle-mounted
soldiers salute their superiors? is the ques-
ton. Already several accidents, more or
less ridiculous, but serious breaches of
etiquette from military standpoint, have
occurred from the efforts of cyclists to go
through the prescribed form of salutation
upon meeting their superiors. There are
comparatively few cyclists so expert that
they can disregard the handlebars in man
aging their machine. hence whenever the
ordinary wheel-mounted soldier attempts
to perform his salutations he must fail
short of doing it properly or run the risk
of breaking his neck. The war offices are
trying to devise mechanical saluting at
tachment. or something better.

A SHOOTING At COLES.
George Sears, a SaIoon-Keeper,
and His Bartender Fa-
tally Wounded.
Capture OF a Mexican Thought to
Have Assisted in the
Crime.

ASHLAND. Or, Aug. Cat Coles, in
the Siskiyou Mountains, George G. Sears
and his bartender, Casper Myerham, were
found last night in a semi-conscious con-
ditions lying in front of Sears saloon
door. Sears body lay at the bottom of
the short steps near the door, and Myer-
hams on the porch, six feet from the
steps. Sears had bullet hole through his
head from the top, and Myerham was shot
in the neck and twice in the front part of
the head.
A section crew near by heard the shoot
ing and fastened to the saloon, but saw no
one reJreating. Sears 16-year-old son was
some distance from the house, and as he
started toward the saloon two men ran
past him as fast as they could go, striking
Off the north road and away from the track.
There were no witnesses to the tragedy
and the wounded men cannot tell a con-
nected tale. They had no weapons about
themselves, and Sears had over $50 on his
person. Drs. West and Poole, who dressed
their wounds, thought both would die
before morning.
Posses commenced securing the woods
for Mexican, aged IS years, and a white
man about Is years old, who got off of a
freight train and went to the saloon few
minutes before the shooting. The Mexi-
can was tracked five miles and captured.
He was identified by Mrs. Lytleton as one
of the men who passed her boarding.
house headed from the freight train
for the saloon. No weapons were found
on him. Just before being captured he
asked man on the train if he had seen
his partner. The forefnger of his hand
was wounded and covered with dry blood
and there were bloodstains on his clothing.
He was taken to the County Jail at Yreka
to-day, and the posse expects to catch his
companion tomorrow.
One theory is the men went into Sears
saloon and he attempted to put them out
when a row ensued. The bartender. who
was putting down bed in an adjoining
room, came to Sears rescue, and both
were shot. Sears came to California in
1852 and to Coles with the railroad con-
struction.

IVETT'S MERGED ESTATE,
Two Women Receive the Vast
Property of the Muir
dered Man.
Equally Divided Between His Widow
and Mrs. Blake, a Half
Sister.

MERGED, CAL, Aug. 6.-The vast es-
tate of John L. Ivett, who was foully MUIR
dered at his home in November, 1890, has
been turned over to his heirs, and thus
ends the last chapter in a case fraught
with sensations.
In the Superior Court of MERGED County,
a stipulation signed by all parties inter
ested and a decree of court were filed and
entered to-day, dividing the real estate of
Ivett as near equally as possible, between
his widow, Sophie A. Ivett, and his half
sister, Mrs. Sarah Blake of England. Mrs.
Blake gets the home ranch and several
other tracts in MERGED County, comprising
in all about 500 acres, and Mrs. Ivett gets
about $500 acres in MERGED County and
the sheep range in Mariposa County. The
personal property had been mostly con-
sumed in paying debts of the deceased and
expenses of administration.
The estate is valued at about quarter
of million. Ivett was son OF Mary
Ivett of England and lett no children, and
as little was ever said by him about his
ancestors or relatives it was supposed by
many that his widow was his only heir.
After Ivett's death his sister made her
identity known and secured her share
of the estate. Mrs. Ivett is young
woman, perhaps 30 years old, and
tried for the murder of Ivett. Mrs.
Blake has never been in the United
States, but her interests have been looked
after by Attorneys J. w. Knox, Mortimer
g. Harris and B. T. Fowler. Mrs. Ivett
has been represented in all her litigation
with Mrs. Blake by Governor Budd, P. J.
HaZen and Gould & McCabe.

this, as some so-called experts had been
recommending this to the California grow
ers, and many had already lost consider
able money by following their advice.
After the lecture many questions were
asked by those having practical lessons to
be learned and applied to their special cir
cumstances. The fact that the United
States Government and the State had pro-
vlded ample means for instruction and
guidance for all engaged in agriculture at
the University of California was brought
out, and those desiring fuller details were
told just how to get them, the State being
more fully equipped in this line than any
other commonwealth in the world.
Professor Ross spoke on the theoretic
side OF the money question this afternoon.
He gave three distinct functions of money,
VIZ: A circulating medium or vehicle of
value; common denomination of value,
and measure of value between different
periods. He defined an honest dollar as
one which was constant and uniform, and
urged that the best dollar was not the big
gest dollar, but one whose value was ex-
actly the same at one time as another.
He said the value of dollar was infiu-
enced, first, by the number of dollars
second, by the rapidity of circulation !:
third, by the quantity of circulation !;
fourth, by the number of exchanges; fifth,
by the extent of barter, and sixth, by the
extent of credit. 1t was also urged that
the Government could modify only the
dollars themselves and the number of
dollars.
Professor Ross gave as consequence of
a dishonest dollar injury to the debtor
class and benefit to the creditor class, and
the depreciation in value of investments.

Justice Glass; court this morning. The
prosecution is being conducted by District
Attorney Harrington and special counsel
H. G. Moore, and Tillotson is defended by
Attorneys d. W. Burchard, ]. G. Black

Blanche Miller, the defendants former
housekeeper, was kept on the stand nearly
all day. Her statements were very con-
f1icting and she proved herself an I'M
willing witness. She was nervous and
during the cross-examination appeared to
be on the point of breaking down several
times. She admitted that Tillotson had
told her that a man named Dunlap had
been persuading him to burn his house and
he (Tillotson) did not know what to do
about it. Dunlap wanted to burn the
house to help Tillotson pay his debts

he had set the fire himself because Mr..
Dunlap had gone back on him? ' asked
Attorney Moore.

The City Enveloped In Pail of
Smoke From the Devastated
Section.

REDDING, CAL, Aug. 6.-smoke is so
thick in and around this city tonight that
it is almost impossible to see from one
block to another and the air Is nearly I'M
bearable in its oppressiveness. Fires are
raging in the country to the west and
north and the wind has blown the smoke
SO that tonight it settles like fog over
the city, An immense fire is raging near
Muleton Mountain and courier brought
the report that the whole country is on fire
between here and Centerville.
Last night and the night before men
were placed at the Clear Creek bridge, on
the Igo road. west of this city ten miles,
fighting the flames and back-fring to keep
them from destroying the new bridge and
property in that neighborhood. A con-
hagration Is also raging on the ridge divid-
ing Shasta and Trinity counties.
The fires which ragged last week on the
east side have been extinguished, but new
ones are breaking out in all directions.

rest reproducing their kind by partheno-
genisis. The rarity of the winged form in
this State was no protection from the pest,
as had been shown by sad experience.
The vine-grower should watch every
vine, and the moment he found weak
one examine the roots, and if not able to
determine the cause of the trouble send
samples of fresh roots to the university.
If it was pronounced phylloxera he should
at once mercilessly destroy every sickly
vine and ten or twelve rows of healthy
ones Immediately surrounding the spot
with carbon bisulphide and gas lime, and
in year replant with resistant American
roots on which were grated, the variety of
V. vinifera desired. He cautioned those
who desired to replant against committing
the same mistake that the Europeans made
thirty years ago in getting unsolicited
vines from the forests of the East. showing
how nurseryman in the East could sell a
carload of Wits riparia or rupestris, and
yet in that carload there might not be two
varieties that were proper for the purposes
required. The French did this, and had to
replant tens of thousands of acres before
they found that the great American
families had each as many subvarieties as
the Wits vinifera, and that all these DIFF
fered as much.
The speaker said that the California vine
growers should lake advantage of the years
of experiment (practiced on scale of
millions of acres) of those abroad, and
should not begin where they began, as had
been recommended by some self-styled
practical men" who would advise. 1t was
clearly shown that while some one in the
Mississippi Valley would fill an order for
carload of Riparia, out of all this
there might not be dozen cuttings that
were what was desired, while all might be
bona-fide Riparias-just as one might send
to Europe for a ship1oad of the Wits Vini-
fera, meaning to get Cabernet Sauvignon;
and while all might be of the Wits re-
quired, he might not get single vine that
was of the variety desired. He dwelt on

EVIDENCE IN HER FAVOR.
Two Witnesses Testify to the
Cruel Treatment by the
Husband.
MEDICINE WAS DENIED HER.
Clothing for the Sick Woman Had
to Be Purchased by Her
Nurse.

REDDING, CAL, Aug. 6.-Mrs. Frank
Miller has been held to answer in the Su-
perior Court for the murder of her hus-
band The preliminary examination was
concluded to-day and Justice Garden re-
manded the woman to the charge of the
Sheriff without bail.
But three witnesses were examined to-
day. and two gave evidence bearing out
the statements of the murderess that she
had been cruelty treated by the man she
killed. The testimony of Nurse Davis
showed that Mrs. Miller was even denied
suitable clothing, and during her illness
had little OF the care necessary in a sick
room.
DR.. J.. II. Miller was the first witness on
the stand. He testified that Mrs. Miller's
health during the past seven years had
been very poor; that she had been sick
nearly all of that time. He had heard of
the divorce case of Miller VS.. Miller, but
did not remember giving any evidence in
that case in regard to her mental and
physical condition. He was present at the
Coroner's inquest and examined Miller's
wounds. Any one of the four wounds
would have caused death.
DR.. F. P. Mitchell, who had been Mrs.
Miller's physician, testified that he pre-
scribed many necessities of the sickroom
for her which Mr.. Miller refused, and the
invalid was compelled to do without them.
He said Miller wanted to discharge the
nurse before Mrs. Miller was able to even
sit up in bed.
Mrs. J. H. Davis, the nurse, was recalled
and testified that while she was nurs-
ing defendant at the Paragon Hotel Mrs
Miller had in her possession a new
Ratchet, with gilt top. Mrs. Miller said
that she and and little son were going out
hop-picking and she would need the
Ratchet to cut kindling-wood with. The
witness assisted Mrs. Miller to pack her
belongings when she moved from the
hotel TO where she lived at the time of the
murder, and among the things packed
were the Ratchet and a futing machine
Mrs. Miller said she was afraid Mr.. Miller
would take these two articles and sell them
in his store.
The witness stated that Mrs Miller had
scarcely any clothing, what she did have
being made OF coarse material. She was
possessed of no wooden wear, and as to
headdress had nothing but the gray cap
she wore on the morning of the homicide.
While nursing Mrs. Miller the witness had
made her up a change of night clothing
and underwear. The goods for them had
to be purchased from the husband. He
protested against letting her have the
goods, and would not do so until she told
him that it was an absolute necessity.
Mrs. Davis was the last witness ex-
amined. The defense offered no witnesses,
and made no argument.
