GUESTS OF THE CAPITAL,
Visitors to Sacramento Find
1t Difficult to Get
Away.
Railroad Accom- Inade-
quate to Transport the Large
Crowds.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 1O.-The
Admission day throng began to break up
to-day, though there will be thousands of
visitors here throughout the week.
Railroad enterprise in getting the people
away is not so great as the enterprise
shown in getting them here, and the San
Francisco people who wanted to reach
their homes today are not altogether
pleased with the difficulty experienced.
All the excursion tickets were sold for the
Bencia route, and only the regular trains
were run on that line, except as it became
absolutely necessary to run these trains in
sections. From 6:45 o'clock in the morn
ing to o'clock in the afternoon the excur-
sionists had no trains, and at 3 o'clock
there was one of the widest. most tumult
uons rushes ever seen at any station in
California. Barry Baldwin and his forces
of last summer could hardly have held
back the people. But everybody was good
natured and those who could not find room
in the trains then made up seemed in
clined to think that 1t was just as well,
anyhow, to stay until night or tomorrow.
Nobody wanted to go, and only those
who were compelled to go found fault with
the lack of trains. The San Francisco
steamer was thronged with passengers,
and every train that went out of the city
in any direction had as many cars as the
engine could haul.
1t was announced in the afternoon that
the electric parade would be repeated on
Wednesday and Friday evenings, and
many will wait to view the wonders of
that parade. The electrical effects are
beyond all description, and the concen-
trated giories of the illum nations at the
Midwinter Fair in San Francisco could
hardly be classed in comparison.
1t is asserted here that the cost of the
Monday night display is greater than the
cost of any similar illumination ever
known, and that does not seem improba-
BILE. A rough counting up of the public
expenditure alone shows the use of over
$4,000, and it is probable that the total
expense is three times as great
And yet Sacramento has made money,
while boundlessly hospitable and generous.

Over Two Hundred Ministers to Be
Present When the Confer

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, Sept. 1o.-This
seaside town is full of Methodists tonight.
They have come to the regular annual
State Conference, to be held here during
six days beginning tomorrow. The
evening train from the north brought the
major portion of the delegation, though
over 100 ministers have been here for the
past week attending the conference OF
young ministers and conducting their
regular annual examinations for promo
tons. Over 200 clergymen delegates have
arrived and nearly 250 lay delegates, with
more to come, as the lay conference does
not take place until Friday.
This evening was devoted to an informal
reunion of all delegates at the Methodist
church, where the closing session of the
Itinerant Club was being held. The
Itinerant Club is composed mostly OF
young clergymen attending the annual ex-

LIQUOR CAUSED HIS RUIN.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 10.-The prison
ers in the City Jail were this morning
treated to Italian opera by Joseph Mo-
rallies, who claims to be the son of Span
ish nobleman.
Morales was arrested for drunkenness
last night, and this morning he enter
tanned the other prisoners with sketches
from Italian tragedies and operas. His
singing showed that his voice was we'll
trained and that he would be an attraction
in any opera troupe.
In telling the story of his life Morales
said that he has travelled all over the world
and played in all the great cities, but his
unconquerable appetite for liquor had led
to his downfall, and now he was an out
cast in a foreign country.
'.MY father says Morales, Twas a
Spanish nobleman, but he has been dead
some years. Ny mother was favorite
singer in the Grand Opera at Genoa, and
my father, hearing her sing, fell in love
with her voice and beauty, refused to listen
to the warnings and threats of his father
and mother, and married the pretty singer.
In two years I was born, but even before
that my father had tired of it all, and,
taking advantage of a reconciliation,
had left mother to shift for herself and
gone back to father. mother and his es-
tate in Spain.
GLOW well know the story, for mother
used to tell me about my father almost be-

years old he died and mother never heard
from Spain. 1t was from her got my
voice, you see, and before l was 20 was

would not believe it, but the day has been
when Patti would not have treated me and
my voice with contempt"

PROBABLE WORK OF INDIANS.
A Mysterious Crime at the Mussel
Beds, a Popular Camping
Place.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Sept. 10.-A courier
arrived at Oceanside at noon to-day with
note from Las Flores Station, twelve miles
above, containing news Of the murder of
Mrs. Leroy r. Stiles her child and her
father, J. 3. Borden. The note was hastily
scrawed by Stiles, who wrote that he was
camping at the Mussel Beds, two miles
above Las Flores, and, returning to his
home, found the bodies of his wife, child
and father-in-law lying in camp. No de-
tails were given as to the manner of death,
how long the victims had been dead, nor
who was suspected of the murder.
The news of the murder reached San
Diego toward evening, and strenuous
efforts were made all night to get more IN
formation, but without success. District
Attorney Sweets information consisted
simply OF the fact that triple murder
had been committed. The Coroner has
been notified, and will go to the spot to-
morrow morning, accompanied by the
District Attorney.
Constable Brookman of Oceanside went
to the scene of the murder with three men
to take charge until the Coroner arrived.
Stiles did not so to Oceanside, but re-
manned at the scene.
One reason for the lack of news is that
all the officers, with. the exception of
Brookman, are out on the trail of 1sidro
Renteria, who shot Ramon Araiza in San
Luis Rey Valley, near Oceanside, some
days ago.
The Mussel Beds, where the murder oc.
CURED, is a favorite camping place of
Fall Brook and San Luis Rey people. The
nearest town is Las Flores, on the South
ern California Railroad, where there is a
creamery and section crew, numbering
fifteen or twenty people. Stiles and his
family live at West Fall Brook, and oc
cupied a camp on the beach. He is "a
years of age, put the age of his wife is not
known.
No motive for the fearful crime is known
to his friends here, and from the scanty
information it is surmised to be the work
of Indians, who have given the northern
part Of San Diego County bad reputation.
1t was there the atrocious murder of Mrs.
Plat occurred, her body being burned in
her house on the Pichango reservation.
Later occurred the murder of a Portuguese,
shot down in cold blood in the night
while walking on the railway track. The
killing of Araiza by Renteria was the last
tragedy in that section.

CROWDS At THE PATILION
Thousands ThrOng the Building to See til
State Fair Exhibits.

IH0dSdnuS IhfOng he ButtdtnO 10 see the
State Fair Exhibits.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 10.-The
State Fair will be decided success finan-
cially. This was assured tonight when
the pavilion opened and the waiting
throng began to pour in. For two hours
they kept coming, and it was nearly 10
o'clock before the crowded streetcars
ceased dumping their loads at the door of
the exhibition building.
1t is doubtful if ever before in the his
tory of State fairs in California the pavil-
ion held larger crowd than it did to-
night. The throng was sos dense that it
was impossible for visitor to move indie
pendent of it, and in order to see the ex-
hibits it was necessary to follow the trend
of the human tide that flowed slowly
through the aislesand open spaces.
There were thousands of visitors, and
with the pretty women clad in summer
dress and gaudy bonnets, bows and rib
bons, vending their way among the dis
plays, seeming to move in time to the
stirring music of Roncovieri's band, it
looked like fairyland under the glow of the
electric lights. The directors are filled
with glee over to-night's attendance, and
say that, Notwithstanding the grand at
traction offered last year in the exhibits
from the Midwinter Fair, there were nearly
1000 more people in the pavilion tonight
than in the biggest nights attendance last
year.
The big floats which were in the electric
carnival procession last night have been
put on exhibition in the pavilion and COM
mencing tomorrow night will be lighted
the balance of the week. This will un-
doubtedly aid greatly in drawing the crowd
to the pavilion every night until the close
OF the fair and the money-box at the ticket

DYSPEPSIA.

If you meet man who is invariably out
of temper, and who is continually looking
on the dark side OF life, you may be safe in
assuming that there is something radically
wrong with his system, and that something
is probably dyspepsia. And don't you go
and run away with the idea, for moment
even, that there is anything ocular about
it, for it is very, very serious. This
wretched disease leads to a number of very
bad complications, and the moment you
experience any of its symptoms the only
safe thing for you to do is to send for
JOYS Vegetable Sarsaparilla. That great
and grand home remedy has often turned
the life of a man from a hell to perfect
heaven. Don't think this extravagant Ian
guage, for it is true.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE IMPOSSIBLE.
But Here Is Something Just as
Good,

D0t EIofS 10 OoHl9C0InE JUST as
Good.
In spite of all that has been said and
written by advocates of total abstinence it
is indisputable that modern methods of
work and living make the occasional and
even frequent use of gentle stimulants
highly beneficial if not absolutely neces-
sary to the great majority of men-es-
pecially those engaged in business and
mental pursuits. Lack of exercise and the
excessive consumption of nerve force and
vital energy consumed by the brain breeds
sluggishness of the digestive system, which
reacts on the brain.
A corrective stimulant is needed.
The curse of alcoholic and vinous liquors
is that they over-stimulate and create n
morbid appetite for more. Peruvian ets
tters,. though composed largely Of old Cali
fornia Brandy, has no such effect, Ii
permits the healthy, stimulating effect OF
the brandy, but completely ohllterates its
tendency to create a morbid desire. Peru
Wan Bisters is palatable but powerful
tonic that impels sluggish functions TO
normal action; expelling cold, fevers, ma
larial poisons and other disease germs;
building up the weak and convalescent,
and by promoting regular and healthy
appetite, perfect digestion, sound sleep,
and steady nerves, tends to produce physi-
cal perfection, good cheer and increase of
human happiness.

KILLED BY Il FALL.
The Orerturming of Wagon Results ia,
a Death.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Sept. 1O.-Al-
bert Ross Tlchenor was found dead near
La Honda last night. His body was lying
in the road short distance above the
Tichenor property. His neck was broken
and the indications were that he had been
dead for couple of hours.
1t was learned that Tichenor had driven
over the road from La Honda with horse
and cart found near by. The night was
sharp turns around projecting EN- bank
ments and is lined on both sides with the
great redwoods of the San Gregorio and
La Honda creek bottoms. 1t is supposed
that in the darkness the team ran too clo.e
to the embankment and overturned the
wagon and that Tichenor was thrown out
and killed.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 10. - Coroner
Secord held an inquest to-day over the
body of Herbert Bryant, the negro who
was killed in self-defense yesterday after
noon by Fred G.. Wenzel, bartender.
John Salas, who was in the saloon, testi-
fed that Bryant entered with pistol in
his hand, but the witness, as he saw there
was going to be shooting, ran out of the
place. Other witnesses were examined,
and the testimony tended to show that the
killing was Justifable.
After few minutes deliberation the
jury returned verdict Of justifable homi-
eide and Wenzel was discharged.
Bryant had a hard reputation in this
city. A few years ago he was arrested for
assaulting William Whiting with knife,
but the case was not prosecuted. He had
been arrested several times for drunken
ness and carrying concealed weapons. He
was about 30 years old and native of Ken
lucky.

A HEADACHE.

II you know what that really means you
have experienced one of the most acute
forms of pain which humanity knows.
And there are many, many hundreds OF
people who go on suffering those excruciat-
ing pains from month to month and year
to year, seeking relief, and finding none.
Like other serious matters in the world, it
is simple if you only know how. You have
to remove the cause of the headache, and
no matter whether it be purely nervous
one, or caused by some functional derange-
ment, JOYS Vegetable Sarsaparilla will
inevitably and invariably do away with it.
And this is not the only thing that this
great Ca lifornian home remedy has ac-
comnliShed.

TACOMA, WASH, Sept 10.-A question
similar to that which caused the Bannock
Indian uprising has come to an, issue here.
George Leschi, Yelm Jim and other Puy-
allup Indians living on the reservation ad-
joining the city were arrested by deputy
Fish Commissioner for maintaining a fish
trap in Puyallup River contrary to the
provisions of the State game law. The In
dams pleaded that under the treaty of
1854 they have right to hunt and fish and
propose to fight the case. They have the
following opinion from their attorney,
James Wickersham, who is also City At
torney.
under the treaty of the Puyallups and
others you have right to build a fish trap
across the PuyaIlup at the usual fishing
place. Go ahead and build the trap and l
viii protect you with advice and services
as attorney"
The Puyallup Indians are very indignant
over the arrests.

age, who lived with her sister. Mrs. Mary

matter, left the house yesterday morning,
threatening to commit suicide. The officers

Water Inspector Nlnde, while at the

body of a woman floating on its surface.
On investigation it proved to be that of
Miss PheniX. A woman living near the

about that hour, judging from the appear

Miss Phenix had been mentally unsound
