IT is HARD TO TELL,
Just When Summer Is Finally Over
and Autumn Is Here Again.

When is summer over, and when does fall
begin? 1t is easy to say "Look in the al
manac." The evidence of that respectable
volume is not conclusive. because the seasons
glide into each other by slow degrees. One
day is sharp and raw, yet the almanac saws
summer" Another is hot and enervating
at is au tumn," declares the same authority.
These sudden fluctuations make our Ameri-
can climate so trying TO the human constitu-
ton. They produce the colds that PROSTATE
the strongest men, and run into pneumonia
and even into consumption. All who have
pneumonia are not in immediate danger of
death. The old are most likely 10 be taken off
but every attack of this malady weakens the
power of the body TO resist disease.
Wise men and women take no chances In
the season OF sudden and extreme changes of
temperature, they have found that Duffy's
Pure Malt Whisky by diluting the blood YES
sells near the surface of the body, prevents the
chllls and congestions which are the fore
runners OF a severe cold. This whisky is made
with the utmost care, by the most approved
scientific methods. The most delicate chemical
tests fail TO show the slightest trace OF dele
ferrous matter in ii.
fortifier and preserver of bodily heat and
nervous energy, Duhy's Pure Malt Whisky
Is never more desirable than at this uncertain
time OF the year. All druggists and grOcers
have IT, although some OF them may try to per-
suade customers that something else is Just as
good. Do not listen to these men. Tell them
you know as we'll as they do that there is no
possible substitute for Dufly's Pure Malt
Whisky.

JAILED AT WOODLAND.
The Men Who Robbed Rumsey's Postmaster
Captured by Officers in the
Mountains

WOODLAND, CAL, Oct. 2l.-Postmaster
NORM at Rumsey, Yolo County, was held
up by two masked robbers Saturday night.
They compelled NORM to turn over all the
Money on hand and then escaped to the
mountains. Officers Immediately started
in pursuit and the men were captured this
morning by a number of deputy sheriffs.
They gave their names as Stewart and
Miller.
The robbers were lodged in jail here this
afternoon and the officers feel much elated
over the capture, as it is the general
opinion that these are the men who robbed
the Cadannasso Postoffice and relieved an
Arbuckle storekeeper of $500. All of these
crimes have been committed within the
past month.

ual popularity and the strength of the
principles they represent.
At meeting of the Board of Trustees
to-day, called for the purpose of ratifying
the election officers appointed from the
different wards, there were indications
that an effort would be made to appoint
men who would, without scruples, attend
to the interests OF the candidates of their
particular choice.
The Populists, Citizens and the Ameri-
can Protective Association declare that
the time has come in the history of Sacra-
mento politics when no fraudulent trans
actions will be allowed at the polls, and
they purpose seeing that everything is
conducted in legitimate manner.
What the outcome will be if any "raw"
work is attempted at the polls by the
judges it is impossible to foretell, but from
the talk of citizens who claim to be op-
posed to all bosses and INSCRIPTIONS
methods, it is probable that if matters are
not conducted as they should be there
will be serious trouble.

V1SALIA, CAL, Oct. 21.-George Hanna

For MONTHS He HAD SUFFERED
AGONIES WITHOUT ONCE
MURMURING.
FORTY YEARS IN THE SERVICE.
He WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY UN-
sHAvEN CATHOLIC ECCLEsIAsT
IN THIS COUNTRY.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Oct. 21.-The
Rev. James Villa, who died here at late
hour last night, was the senior parochial
clergyman on this coast, and had held his
pastorate longer than any other Catholic
clergyman. He came of an aristocratic
Spanish family, being of the house of Villa
in the parish OF Campeyes, Spain, the
landed proprietors of the great estate
known as Campo Villa, in the province of
Gerrona.
James Villa came to the United States in
1855, and was ordained by the late Arch
bishop Alemany. For two years he la bored
in San Diego and San Gabriel, and he COM
pleted the thirtv-eighth year of his pas
torate here last month. AT one time he
held the office of vicar-general of this
diocese, but was obliged to resign the
office on account of ill health.
The story of Father Villas labors in
Santa Barbara is long record of loving
and unselfsh service. In 1867 the old
church on Fgueroa street was burned
down, and it was due to his efforts that
the present handsome and substantial
brick structure was erected. From this
fire the relics of st. Viviana, a martyr of
the third century, presented by Pope Plus
TX, were miraculously preserved, and are
now in Los Angeles. During the absence
of Bishop Mora in Europe in the early
eighties Father James officiated as the ad-
ministrator of the dioceses OF Monterey
and Los Angeles.
Father James Villa was perhaps the
only Catholic priest in this country who
wore a beard, and Helen Hunt Jackson
0nCA phrOnioloH this or otot i'm
that he was permitted to wear it by special
papal dispensatIon. The reverend gentle
man, however, contradicted this report
assuring those who inquired that there
was no law in the Catholic church COM
polling its cIergymen to be shaver, and
declaring that this was merely an honored
custom of tho church, but that it was no
infringement of church rules to deviate
from it.
Father Villas death, as heretofore ex-
planned in THE CALL, was due to cancer of
the throat, the disease entailing long
months of suffering, which he bore with
marvellous fortitude and resignation, no
murmur escaping his lips. He was greatly
beloved, not only by all his parishioners
and his associates in the church, but by
many Protestants who learned to know
and appreciate his gentle character and
intellectual superiority during his long
residence here.
Bishop Mora and several of the clergy
from Los Angeles arrived on the noon
train, and will join in the last ceremonies
to their friend and fellow-laborer. The
funeral will take place on Wednesday
morning at 9 o'clock, Bishop Mora himself
celebrating pontitical high mass.

Health Office Records to Figure In her
Suit against "Lucky" BaIdtci,.
LOS ANGELES, CAL. Oct. 21.-A sensa-
ton is likely to be sprung soon in the suit
brought against Lucky" Baldwin by Miss
Lillian Ashley of Pasadena. The young
woman sues for damages for Baldwin's
failure to provide for her child, which she
claims is the daughter of the noted capt.
talist and turfman. DIR. Trueworthy, the

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 21.-The Min
isterial Union of the city is after Chief of
Police Glass again. At it's meeting to-day
it replied in forcible language to his accu-
sation that the agitation OF the social evil
question by the ministers had caused more
damage than the evil itself.
The ministers formed the sharp-worded
epistle into the form of a communication
for presentation to the City Council, stat
ing in substance that il the Chief had dis
charged his duties and enforced the laws
the agitation would have been stopped
long ago. Chief Glass speech was charac-
lied as discourteous and lacking moral
courage, untrue in the extreme and show
ing official sympathy for the criminal and
disorderly elements, and also insubordina-
ton. The union petitioned the Council
that the Chief be required to do his duty or
resign TO some one who will enforce the
laws of the city.

PALOMARES WATER SUIT.
The POMONA LAND AND WATER
COMPANY ACCUSED OF
FRAUD.
LAND OWNERS WHO CLAIM THEY
HAVE BEEN MULCTED BY THE
OLD ORGANIZATION.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 21.-Some
time ago certain of the stockholders of the
Pomona Land and Water Company organ
lied the Palomares Irrigation Company,
and the latter company issued TO those
individuals 5000 shares of stock
These gentlemen sold a quantity of
land under the Palomares bitches,
and issued 100 shares OF water
stock with each ten acres of land, SO that
very much of those 5000 shares originally
issued came to be held by landowners.
These landowners did not, however, have
representation among the officers of the
Palomares company, which continued to
be differed by the people Of the Pomona
company.
Recently there was a meeting of the Off
GERS of the Palomares company, and they
adopted a resolution whereby it was set
forth that certain deed made by the Po-
mona company TO the Palomares COM
pany, conveying to the latter water-bear-
ing lands, did not express the real inten-
ton OF the parties; that il was intended
that at any time after the passing of the
deed the Pomona company might 90 upon
the lands granted and deyelop water and
sell 1t to Palomares company for 100 shares
OF the latter company's stock for each inch
OF water. This resolution was ratified; but
the land holding owners Of the Palomares
stock took no hand in it, nor knew nothing
about it. 1t is also alleged that the Po-
mona company has surreptitiousIy di-
verted water off the Palomares land and
sold it to the Pomona City Water Com
pany.
Suit was brought this morning by the
Palomares Company alleging fraud in
strong terms against the two other COM
panies and asking to have the resolution
set aside and the deeds Hereunder va

THOUSANDS AT PORT TOWNSEND
WITNESS THE WORKINGS OF
THE PHENOMENON.
BLAzEs STARTED BY LAVA
A PARTY OF Observation-Disclosures
TO START FOR THE SCENE OF
THE DISTURBANCE.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Oct. N.-
Interest in the recently discovered volcano
in the OLYMPIC Mountains, short dis
tance from here. continues without abate-
ment and last night thousands of people
witnessed the workings of the phenomenon
from euinences about the city. Early
evening found the crater very dim, but
from O'Clock until daylight the lurid Jet
could be seen plainly with the naked eye
squirting high into the air and throwing a
beautiful glow into the clouds. To-day,
owing 10 the thick smoke, the crater is not
visible from here.
The few who we're skeptical when the
news was first brought into town are now
thoroughly convinced, and tomorrow
morning at daylight large party of
mountain climbers will leave for the
scene, guided by Messrs. Pettygrove and
Chappell, who were three miles away
when the first eruption occurred.
According to the statements of these
men the volcano began to spout flames
and lava Saturday night while they were
camped three miles distant from the scene.
The two were peacefully slumbering when
they were awakened by loud report and
terrible shaking of the earth, followed by
a streak of fire, which was sent high into
the air and was accompanied by kissing,
sizzling sound. The disturbance stopped
as suddenly as it began, and all was still
for fully twenty minutes. Then it was re-
peated, and since then the eruptions have
been regular.
On the night of its first appearance Pet
tygrove and Chappell remained in silent
until tho vi onA
sulphur smoke compelled them to make a
retreat to a point several miles farther
away from the crater, and the next morn
ing they made all haste to town, arriving
late Saturday night.
The scene of the disturbance is sixty
miles from here, in the third chain of the
Olympic Mountains. People her believe
the outpouring is a natural sequence of
the recent earthquake shocks which have
been felt in this vicinity for some weeks
The result of the investigating party 8
tour will be awaited with interest.
Last night the pyrotechnic spectacle was
watched through powerful glasses by a
party of amateur scientists, who compute
that the injections of the molten mass into
the air occur at intervals of from three to
five seconds, and from this distance it
would appear that steady stream of fire
was being sent into the sky. Toward mid
night it became apparent that the fire from
the crater was igniting the forests in the
valleys far below the snow line, as smoke
in great volume was noticeable. OF course
it is impossible as yet to determine the
cause OF the disturbance, but farmers from
the vicinity coming to town to-day aver
that the top of the mountain is redhot and
that lava flakes are settling over the straits,
making navigation thereof particularly
dangerous.

CAPELLE VALLEY HOLD UP
LIVERYMAN MANCHESTER ROBBED
BY A PATRON FOR WHOM
He WAS DRIVING.
ORDERED FROM HIS CARRIAGE AND
LEFT BESIDE THE RoAD-HIS
ASSAILANT CAUGHT.

NAPA, CAL, Oct. DE. II. Manches-
ter, a local liveryman, was held up and
robbed OF $25 by man giving the name of
Blackwell, in the Capelle Valley, ten miles
from Napa. A team had been engaged at
Manchester's stable to convey Blackwell
to Knoxville, distance of fifty-two miles,
and Manchester went along as driver. The
hold-up occurred on the return trip. Black
well was captured at Vallejo by Sheriff
Mckenzie while aboard the steamer ANA
dor to cross the straits en- route to San
Francisco.
When the Journey to Knoxville had been
made, Blackwell attended to a pretended
business transaction, and they started
upon the return trip. He requested Man
chester to let him know when they reached
point within ten miles of Napa. In &C
cordance with this request Manchester, on
reaching Capelle Valley, told the man that
they were about that distance from town.
The words had scarcely been uttered be-
fore the lines were jerked from Manches-
ter's hands and revolver. was showed
against his face. His assailant said he
was Bandit Brady and ordered the driver
to hand over his money. About $25 was
taken from the liveryman, but his watch
was rejected after critical scrutiny. Man
chester was ordered out of the carriage
and left in the road, the stranger driving
on to Napa.
When he arrived here the bandit drove
into the livery stable and told the senior
Manchester that his son had left the car
riage up the street and gone home He
asked the stableman to hitch up another
team and drive him to Vallejo, and this
Mr.. Manchester did.
Edward Manchester, when he was
ordered out of the carriage by the outlaw,
hurried to the ranch of A. J. Raney and
borrowed saddle horse, on which he rode
to Napa. Sheriff Mckenzie was notified
of the robbery and fastened to Vallejo.
Blackwell was traced to house in which
he had occupied room for several hours,
and thence to the steamer Amador. He is
now in Jail here pending hearing.

CHARLIE TYE GOES FREE.
Decision in the Case of Chinumo1 Wbo
Could Not Register Because He
Hds m

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 21.-Judge Bel
lineer rendered decisclon this morning
in the case of Charlie Tye, which has at
tracted a large share of public attention.
Tye was arrested some weeks ago at Coos
Bay on charge of being uniawfully in this
country, as he had no certificate of regis
tration. His defense was that he was sick
all the time when the registration act was
in operation, and was, therefore. unable to
register. The court held that the defense
was good one and the excuse valid.
The question as to who should pay the
costs of the arrest and the expense of trial
then arose. On this point the court oe-
dided that the Government would be
liable for the costs. The case is without
precedent on this coast.

An official Suspected of Jobbing" the
Los angeles Papers.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 21-The SUI
preme Court has decided that the SIT ,0O0,-
600 bond issue of the Market-street cable
road of San Francisco was legal. The
opinion was filed Saturday morning. The
information that the filing had been made
was withheld in the Clerks Off ce from
both the evening papers here. Then the
decision was sent north-the only copy
that had been made of it.
The representatives of both the morning
papers claim that they received their in
formation that the decision was to the
effect that the bonds were invalid from
Deputy Clerk Butterworth. He in turn
denies that he gave that information. The
failure to give the news of the decision to
the evening papers and then have it ipcor-
rectly stated in the morning papers savors
OF job. The matter may be the subject
of court investigation.

PENDLETON, Or, Oct. 21.-Edward
Downs, a barber, was arrested by Sheriff
Houser last night for offering five forged
checks, amounting in the aggregate to $50.
Downs had just passed caeck for $40 at
the Pendleton Hotel when he was arrested.
On his way to the County Jail the prisoner
made an attempt to escape, but three shots
brought him to standstill. None of the
shots took effect.
When searched, a customers draft for
$500, to which the name of Sam P. Stur-
gis cashier of the First National Bank of
Pendleton, had been forged, was found on
Downs. He used this draft as letter of
credit, and by displaying it was enabled to
have the forged checks for small amounts
cashed without suspicion.
