and Friends Go to SCheutzen
Park.

The field day to be held at Schuetzen's
Park on Monday next under the auspices
of the League of the Cross Cadets promises
to be one of the grandest events ever given
under the auspices of the regiment. For
the past two months committees have
been hard at work arranging details for
the affair, which will be one of the first of
its kind ever-held in this State.

ing at the park short rest will be taken
before the events OF the day will take place.
The field and track events, of which there
are twelve, will be open to competition be-
tween members of the cadets only.
Each company has entered three men
for each event, and as this is the first oc-
casion that the entire regiment has met in
athletic games the rivalry is naturally
very keen and the interest very intense as
to the outcome. To the winners of the
various events several valuable and hand
some gold medals will be awarded. The
principal prize that each company is de-
sirous of carrying off, however, is the silk
pennant to be given the company winning
the greatest number of points.
The events to be contested will consist of
the following:
100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 40 yard dash,

SEA FISHING.
With the Departure of Heavy Tides
Good Sport Should Result.


Rockcod fishing continues excellent on
the principal fishing banks on the north
shore. During the week some very large
catches have been made, particularly in
the vicinity of Point Cavallo and Lime
Point, where fish of very large size have
been taken.
On Tuesday Frank O'Connor, the we'll
known angler, with two companions,
caught lis pounds of red and blue rockcod
at Lime Point and the Sugarloaf Rock, the
largest weighing 5M pounds and nine of
them pounds each.
On the same day Al Thomson and friend
caught about eighty pounds of red rock
cod at Point Cavallo, the largest weighing
Az pounds, and several weighing over 3
pounds each.
We have now passed the last heavy tides
for the season and the best saltwater fish
ing in the bay is to commence and will
continue until the heavy rains fall. The
summer winds are about TO cease, while
the water being at its greatest degree of
saltiness the larger fish which frequent
the ocean shores are coming into the bay
in pursuit of smelt, sardines and other
small fish, their natural food.

RIVER STEAMER RATES,
Looking After the Water
Transportation Companies
Charges.
The Railroad Commissions Re-
quests Are Ignored by the
Steamboat People.

1t is reported that the Railroad Com
mission, after it has finished the question
of the Southern Pacific Company;s freight
rates, will take up that of the river
steamers Some time ago the commits
sion sent notices to the Sacramento Trans
portation Company, steamers Gold, Tin
fandel and Napa City. California Trans
portation Company, California Navigation
and Improvement Company, Union Trans
portation Company and the Wilmington
Transportation Company, asking for an
annual report of their freight and fares.
All the companies except the last two lg-
nored the order. The time for filing the
reports this year expired last Saturday,
and up to that time not one OF the nayl-
CATION companies had complied with the
law making all transportation companies
within the State subject to the jurisdiction
of the Railroad Com mission. The Will
mington Transportation Company bases
its refusal on the Sawyer decision, that the
commission had no Jurisdiction over YES
sells that go beyond the three-mile limit.
Mr.. La Rue states that while there is no
immediate necessity to regulate river
steamer frelghts and fares, there is mat
ter of greater importance that Will soon
affect the people of the San Joaquin Val
lev. The law that when rival companies
reduce their rates they can never be raised
again was enforced against the Southern
Pacific in the Oakland passenger business,
but when the rival Stockton steamers put
down their fares and freights to run each
other out of the river no effort was made
by former Commissioners to keep them
down.
POSSIBLY this matter was never at
tended to-" said Mr. La Rue, "because the
Stockton boats were always considered as
the competitors of the Southern Pacific,
and any attempt to regulate their rates
would have been regarded as a thrust at a
Southern Pacific rival. But, now a new
danger may be seen. To compete with
the Valley road the Southern Pacific may
put on line of San Joaquin River steam
ers. with freights and fares next to moth
ing, and force the Valley road boats out OF
business.
1.-The present Railroad Commission will
endeavor to bring all river steamers under
its control, as provided by law. 1t will
record the present rates of freights and
fares, so that all future cuts will be per-
manent and the people can profit by
them"
Section IA of the act of 1880 defines
Transportation companies" as:
First-All companies owning and operating
railroads (other than street railroads) within
the State.
Second-Au companies owning and operat-
ing steamships engaged in the transportation
of freight and passengers from and to ports
within this State.
Third-An companies owning and operating

A STRANGE NUMBNESS.

1t was newspaper article that caused Mrs.
E. l.. Whipple, who was stopping at 1876 Penn
sylvania street, Lawrence, Kans., to try medi-
cine. for which were claimed valuable quail
ties for diseases and ailments that seemed to
fit her case. She was then living in Michigan,
and it was some time before she got around to
taking the medicine, but in December 1893,
she began, and has, since that time, become q
well woman. Mrs. Whipple never tires telling
about the remedy that helped her so much,
and when called on by the reporter was glad to
give the desired information about her case.
She said that in December, 1898, she first
commenced to use DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. AT times she would be so dizzy
headed and so very nervous that she could
hardly get around. She had spells of numb
ness, a pin stuck into her. body producing no
feeling whatever. After she took one box of
Pink Pills she felt good deal better, but kept
on taking them until four boxes had Deen used.
when she found herself completely cured. She
no longer feels any dizziness or numbness, and
feels as though it was duty 10 make known
to every one her happy experience with Pink
Pills. Not only in justice to the proprietors
does she gladly do this on every occasion, but
that those similarly afflicted may learn where
to look for remedy for every nervous disease.
She recommends the Pink Pills highly, aud
thinks that they also cured her of nervousness.
Mrs. Whipple is getting we'll along in
years, and for time was almost helpless.
When she began taking Pink Pills her youth
seemed to return. and she was strong and
hearty again. She lives at her Michigan home,
but has been staying with her relatives in
Lawrence for over six months, and besides
proclaiming the praises of Pink Pills from
her home, she speaks of them wherever she is
acquainted.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and re-
store shattered nerves. They are also specific
for troubles peculiar to females. such as sup
pressions, Irregularities and all forms of weak
ness. In men they effect radical cure in all
cases arising from mental worry, oyerwork or
excuses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are
sold in boxes only at so cents box or six
boxes for So 90 and may be had of all drug
gists, OF direct by mail from DR.. Williams

THE OARSMEN.
Scullers Who viii Meet at the Sac
ramentO Regatta

Scullers Who Will Meet at the Sac
ramento Regatta.
The oarsmen of the City are looking
anxiously forward to the regatta which
will be held at Sacramento on Admission
day. In all probability the following
clubs will be represented: The Pioneers,
South Ends, Stockton Athletic Associa-
ton, Ariels and Sacramento boat clubs.
The greatest interest of this regatta is
centered in the senior four-oared barge
race between the Pioneer and South End
crews.
Pop" Brennan, the Pioneers coach
and trainer, has charge of the crews, and
the changes he has made in them and
their method of training are plainly no.
ticeable.
The senior crew has been considerably
strengthened and is now the finest crew
the Ploneers have ever turned cut. Fred
Orr, who is bow and captain, knows all
the tricks of the profession from the time
he was the clubs coxswain; Coney L..
ochs, who occupies the afterwaist slide, is
one OF the strongest barge oarsmen on the
coast; George Callopy, who rows forward
waist, is one OF the clubs mainstays, and
has been seen in every race of any import
ance In years past; undoubtedly the great
est oarsman in the boat is John Clifford,
the stroke-he was member of the South
Ends champion crew of 1891. The pride
OF the crew is their new coxswain, little
George Fitzsimmons, whom they expect to
guide them to victory when they meet the
South Ends, whose personnel is as follows
Henry Bode, bow; Bob Macarthur, for
wardwaist and captain; Gus Carson, after
waist; Frank Duplissea, stroke George
McGrill, coxSwain.
