IN EXILE At |AMOSA,
P. A. Demens, Who Was Driven
Out of Russia, Is Writing
a Book.
Incurred the Displeasure of the Car
Alexander II by Disobedience
of Orders.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. Bop.
A. Demens, Russian exile now resident
OF Iamosa, twenty miles from this city. is
writing book on America and the
American System of Government" which
will be printed in the Russian language
and published in Russia.
Mr. Demens fed from Russia TO the
United States in 1877, having been exiled
by Alexander II. He settled in Florida,
where he supported his family by workin e
as a millhand at small wages. Since
coming to California he has amassed for
tune, and has now the leisure to inform
his llow-countrymen, through his cor
respondence with Russian newspapers of
the doings of Russians in this country,
and hopes to tell them something of value
III his book.
At one time he held a high official posi-
tion in Russia, being Grand Marshal of
one of the leading provinces of the empire.
In this position he was also at the head of
the judicial system, being the Chief JUS
tice of the Court of Appeals. In order to
carry out his ideas of ruling nation, Gar
Alexander II created what was known as
the Star Chamber Court for the purpose of
disposing of all political offenders, and to
the position of chief of this court the Gar
appointed Mr.. Demens.
All oI1enQerS VINO were brought before
this court left all hope behind, as the
Cars orders in advance were to intict the
death penalty. But this manner of pro-
cedure did not at all coincide with Mr..
Demens views. He knew full well that
under the laws of Russia the Czar had no
right to establish the court, and when
cases came for trial Mr.. DemeEs, being
satisfied that the accused had committed
no crime that should require the death
sentence, would decline to impose the
sentence. Thus he incurred the wrath Of
the Gar, who exiled the Demens family
and confiscated all their property.
Poverty and hard Dor had no terrors for
Demens. Arriving in America free man,
his natural intelligence and thorough edu-
cation brought him into the front rank of
Russo-American citizens. He is man of
pleasant address, and is great admirer of
everything that is American. He has
beautiful home at Samosa, and is respected
by all who know him.

SAN BERNARD1No SOAP FACTORY.
Illinois Mdn,.facturers Find a Splendid
opening at That Place.

opening at That Place.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. 3d.
The present outlook is very bright for the
establishment of a soap manufactory in
this city by an Eastern firm. For some
days past P. P. Goodnow of Salem, ILL.,,
has been looking over the grounds in the
matter and expresses him self as very
favorably impressed with what he has so
far seen.
He has written to his brother in Chicago
in regard to the matter and expects an
answer in a few days to go ahead and
make arrangements and that his brother
will join him. The latter is chemist and
thoroughly understands the soap business.
1t is the plan of the firm to make the
finest of toilet soaps, tar soaps and the
common yellow bar soap. They expect TO
have the factory in running order by the
1st of January next.
Mr.. Goodnow claims they can manufac-
ture the same quality of soap that the Los
Angeles factory turns out at cost of So to
3 rs for from So to 81 so. He makes this
assertion because all of the materials neces-
sary, borax, soda, potash, etc., are pro-
duced in this county, and in abundance.
In conjunction with soapmaking Good
now Brothers will also manufacture starch
and baking powder, making the latter in
its pure state, ard at a price which will
undersell any of the Eastern makers. Mr.
Goodnow has the support of the leading
property-owners.

OROV|LLE'S BOLD BANDIT,
Series of Hold.Ups Conducted by a
Single Masked Road
Agent.
The Property of One Victim Returned
Because He Declared That He
Was a Poor Man.

OROVILLE, CAL, Nov. 30.A series o
robberies were committed three miles
south of here this afternoon about 4
o'clock. The robber wore red handker-
chief over his face, black slouch hat, black
coat and vest, blue overalls and heavy
shoes run over on the side. He was about
"a years of age.
Harvey Seeley of the Central House was
the first to have a pistol pointed at him
and commanded to mold up his hands.
He was relieved of So %. A few minutes
later John D. Westwood of the same place
was relieved of his small change.
Later came G. f. Porter driving double
team. He was also stopped and robbed,
but the amount taken was not learned.
Eben Boalt and G. d. Woodman of
Palermo were the next called on to halt
and turn over their change. Boait was
robbed of $50 and Woodman gave up 80
cents. The latter was asked by the robber,
care you a poor man?" Boalt answered
"Yes," and his money was given back.
They then drove on short distance and
turned around with the intention of noti-
flying the officers, when they were again
confronted by the robber and ordered to
return.
On arriving at Palermo the officers were
notified, and Sheriff Wilson and Deputy
Thomas Dooley started in pursuit. 1t is
supposed that this is the same man who
tried TO hold up the Forbestown stage a
few DAYS ago.

JOY At Am EARTHQUAKE.
Indians at KyUqaot British Columbia
Thought the Shock Meant the

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 30.-Kyuquot,
an Indian village on the west coast of Van
couver Island, received a severe shock OF
earthquake early this month which the
natives will long remember. Their little
houses were shaken almost from their
foundations, trees swayed and considerable
damage was done.
The natives regarded the strange dis
turbance as the beginning OF the end,
when their dead relatives would rise from
the earth and join them.
They rejoiced greatly at the thought of
such an event, and filled the air with
sounds of gladness, firing off big guns,
beating tin pans and otherwise creating
noises heard for miles away.

A Probability That It Will Buy
the Terminal Railways
Rights.
CONSTRUCTORS FORGING AHEAD
Tracklaying Has Been Completed to a
Point Twenty-Five Miles
From Stockton.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. 30.-A report
has been circulated here to-day that the
San Joaquin Valley Railway Company is
about to acquire the rights of way, grades
and improvements of the Stockton and
Lodi Terminal Railway, with view OF
operating it as feeder, and probably ex-
tending it beyond Lodi into the foothills.
1t is known that several railway COM
panies are after the line, and it is thought
that the Valley road has the inside track.
The report will not be verified
by the Lodi Terminal people, but
work on the line is at standstill and it is
very probable that a contemplated change
OF hands has caused stop in the plans
of the prof ectors in equlpping it as an
electric line.
The Southern Pacific would naturally
want the line, but the owners of the valu-
able rights will not indicate their inten-
tions. They will not even say that the
line is for sale, but it is reasonable to sup
pose that if they received a tempting offer
they would accept it.
The Valley road track now extends
twenty-five miles into the country and the
construction gang is operating a short dis
tance above the Burwood schoolhOuse.
The timbers for the Stanislaus bridge are
being moved forward over the company's
own line. as they are nearer 10 the crossing
point than the Southern Pacific. The
work of making connection with the water
front is nearly finished and materials will
soon be hauled from Weber avenue on the
company's own cars.
The rain delayed work only few hours.
1t was feared that 1t might delay opera
tions for some time, but as soon as the sun
came out the gang resumed work.
