SHE LOVES POLITICS.
Mr.. Reeds Daughter Often Helps Her H.
lustrious Father.


Miss Kitty, the speakers 10 year-old
daughter, is the best politician in the
Reed family. She abhors society, par
ticularly the hollow sham official So
ciety of the national capital, and loves
politics. She has made study Of poll
tics and most of the public men.
Her father has blind faith in her
Judgment and often consults her as to
what be shall do. Kitty writes many of
his letters for him and does not hest
tate to give her advice, because she
knows it is always welcome.
Mrs. Reed does not care for political
life and would be quite as well salts
fed to settle down in her beautiful home
on the hills of Portland. Miss Kitty,
on tho other hand, is intensely ambi-
tious, and, as the speaker himself says.

Pc ETALUMA'S FAIR OPE NED
Streets of the Sonoma Town Are
Thronged by Hundreds
of Visitors.
Fancy Stock Vies With Displays of
Luscious Fruit in Attracting
Attention.

PETALUMA, CAL, Aug. 4.-The annual
fair of the Sonoma and Marin Agricultural
Society opened to-day with a greater
throng of visitors than has been usual for
several years. Seemingly the lovers offine
horses have not all been allured by the
bicvcles, and from the enthusiasm ex-
hibited it is safe to say they never will
while the lively streets make Petaluma
pride herself on the returning glory of her
fairs.
This was ladies' day at the fair and the
fair sex were admitted to the grounds free
of charge. The ladies of the Improve
ment Club took upon themselves the
larger part OF the decorating and placing
of exhibits in the pavilion, and from the
artistic arrangement of the exhibits they
did themselves great credit. The Peta-
luna and Two Rock oranges have at
tract!ve exhibits, one feature of the form
er's being a large gondola beautifully
draped and decorated and laden to the
rails with all varieties of luscious fruit,
while the Two Rock Grange has quite a
large space devoted to miniature repre-
sentation of the more enticing scenes OF
agricultural life, with large dolls dressed
in suitable costumes and in appropriate
positions. The display of fruit in pyra-
mids, plates and various other forms is
very fine.
The weather is all that could be desired,
and though warm, is not oppressively SO;
but the ladies take advantage of it and
deck themselves in cool and attractive
gowns. The local band, augmented by
two mem bers from the Angel Island band,
discourse sweet music during the lull be-
tween the races, and at night supplies
music for dancing in the pavilion. For a
first day it has been grand success, and
during the remainder of the week many
more visitors are expected, the railroads
main closed all the afternoons, and alto
gether Petaluma is spreading herself on
this revival of the good old-fashioned
fair.

OREGON CITY HOLD-uP.
Masked Bandits Stop a Stage by
Shooting Two of It's
Horses.
Force the Driver and Passengers to
Hand Over Their Meager
Possessions.

OREGON CITY. Or, Aug. 1.-Two
masked men held up the Without stage
near the Mill Greek bridge yesterday.
When the order to halt was given the
four horses attached to the coach started
to run away. The robbers fired several
shots at them, wounding two of the horses
in the legs and back and bringing them to
a standstill. The highwaymen then
robbed the driver, "Bill" Mattoon, of his
revolver and small amount of money,
and compelled the passengers, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hidinger and daughter and China
man, to hand over their cash. Mr..
Hidinger is the manager of the piano de-
partment of the Wiley b. Allen Company
of Portland.
Thomas Duffy, a mail-carrier between
Oregon City and Molalla, who came along
a the time of the robbery, was fired upon.
He hurriedly retreated, and meeting two
farmers named Graves and Woodside got
them 10 open fire on the robbers, but the
pair escaped.
The wounded horses were put out of
their misery and posse was organized
and started in pursuit of the bandits. The
stage, with the remaining two horses, re-
sumed its trip to Wilhoit.
Sheriff Grace and four deputies and sixty
citizens of the neigh borhood are searching
for the robbers. The trail was easily fol-
lowed for three miles, and then all trace
was lost. The hat OF one of the robbers
was found. The booty secured by the rob-
bers was a revolver and $17 in cash.

Cause Must Be Shown Why
Assessments Should Not Be-
Increased.
VALUATIONS IN SACRAMENTO
The Board Likely TO Alter the Figures
Submitted to It by the
Assessor.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. s. The
State Board of Equalization spent the day
in considering which of the counties of
the State should be cited to appear to
show cause why their assessments should
not be raised. After mature deiberation
the board selected the following nineteen
counties: Alameda, Butte, Glenn, Hum
boldt, Marin. Placer, Sacramento, San
Bernsrdino, San Francisco, San Joaquin,
San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma,
Stanislaus, Sutter, Tulare, Yolo and Yuba.
Many of these counties show decided
falling off from the amount of last year S
assessment, but in a few instances ttere
is slight increase. Especially is this the
case in the assessment roll of San Fran
cisco County, w hich shows a gain OF several
millions of dollars. OF the counties whose
representatives have been cited to appear
eleven received reduction ct the hands
of the board last year. These were Butte,
Glenn Marin, San Joaquin, Solano. So
noma, Stanislaus, Sutter. Tulare, Yolo
and Yuba.
For several years the members of the
board have been considering the advisa-
bllity OF raising the assessment of Sacra-
mento County, but owing to the fact that
il was clearly demonstrated that the
country property was assessed to its full
valuation while city property on the main
streets was held at a ridiculously low fig
ure, the board has been unable to raise the
valuation on the entire county without
working a grievous wrong upon the
farming community. However. il is be-
lieved that the assessment roll of this
county will encounter a material raise this
year. as the board apparently has made up
its mind that Sacramento County is not
paying Its pro rata.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-05

convince them that the two associations
are entirely separate and have no common
purpose.
Mr.. Tacy's plan is to encourage hons
product clubs among the laboring people.
In San Diego such club has been formed,
and it is likely that the club will hold a
home industry exposition before very long.
President Sonntag brought up the mat
Ter of conyict-made goods and suggested
that the board secure legal service to frame
bills for the State Legislature and Congress
looking to a suppression of the same by
compelling the dealers in this class of
goods to so designate them by brands and
marks that the public may not be deceived.
This matter will be taken up again by
the association.
President Sonntag announced that he
had appointed the following as chairmen
of standing committees. The chairman
will make a selection of the remainder of
the committee later:
Finance, J. P. Currier: legislation, j. W.
Kerr; municipalities, H. j. Crocker; promotion,
w. F. Bowers; publication, L. r. Mead /;
A. Mclaughlin; transportation and water, A.
Dernham; new industries, NJ. McGlynn.
An interesting discussion was brought
up by Manager Tacy, who suggested q
conference with the large retail dealers.
He said that the latter stand as a bulwark
between the California producers and the
consumers. They handle no California
manufactured goods to speak of, and all
their efforts are directed toward inducing
their patrons to use Eastern and foreign
products. By conference better under
standing might be arrived at.
Mr.. Crocker said that the trouble lies
more with the local manufacturer, who
does not adopt Eastern methods and
reach out for the trade and meet local de-
mands. He said that Eastern manufactu-
rers spend millions of dollars TO introduce
their goods, while Western manufacturers
either lack the means or the pluck to do so.
Mr.. Kerr suggested that this condition
arises from other causes. California is a
new State with old demands. A vast
population sp-ang up here with which the
establishment of manufactures could not
keep pace. Western store-keepers natur-
ally turned TO their former Eastern towns
and cities for supplies, which were readily
sold to their patrons who came from those
sections and were familiar with the goods
they were accustomed to use in the East.
1t is as much matter of custom and
habit as anything else, which it will take
time to outgrow. As a rule the people
really pay more for Eastern products than
they would have TO for better classes made
here Mr.. Kerr favored such conference
as suggested.
Mr.. Currier also thought that meeting
with the retail dealers would result in
gerat benefits, but definite action was
temporarily postponed.

SANTA BARBARA,s QUEER SUIT.

augustus Den again Defendant in an

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Aug. 4.-Jose
Vicente Hill has sued wealthy Augustus
H. Den for $1,000 alleged to be due for
services rendered by himself and wife to
the defendant during the twenty months
from April, 1894, to January, 1896, con-
siderable portion of this attendance being
consequent upon injuries received by Mr..
Den when thrown from a buggy.
Mr.. Den was married last winter to Miss
Devine, a daughter of Judge Devine of
Sacramento. Since this date he has been
sued by Pedro Ruiz for the sum of $40, 900,
allie Led to be due for attendance and care.
Den appears to be a vigorous, athletic
young man. but would seem to have suf-

BILLS MUST BE EXPERTED.
Governor BVdd Refuses to Pass the State
Printing Office Claims Until
Investigated

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 4-The
Board OF Examiners held an adjourned
meeting this morning for the purpose oil
passing routine bills. Governor Bndd and
Secretary MarkIey were the only mem bers
present. Governor Budd sent out for
State Printer Johnston, remarking that
he wanted to settle the matter of an ex-
pert satisfactorily and pass the printing
office bills if he could consistently.
When Johnston came in the Governor
took him in hand for cross exam ination
as to several items of expense in his office,
calling attention to an issue of 10 ,0OC
grammars which had been printed. He
asked if they had been ordered by the
Board of Education. Johnston replied
that the stock OF grammars on hand had
run low and orders were coming in which
had to be filed. Budd then presented a
bill for seventy-fve tons OF coal, which
had been ordered subsequent to receiving
BIDS. The price of the lowest bid was
So o., while the coal was bought for $40.
Johnston said that the coal had run out,
that more was needed Immediately and
that the dealer from whom.he purchased
had ordered coal for the printing office.
and as he had been furnishing fuel regu-
larry he felt 1t his duty to take it. He
claimed this was before any bid was made
by other parties.
Governor Budd cited several instances
OF apparent extravaganza, tending to show
that be had been informed of printing
office matters generally, and intimated
that Democrat who had been DISCHARGED
from the position of foreman some time
ago had furnished him with the informa-
tion. Johnston remarked that the person
had given such information subsequent to
his discharge.
Before adjournment Johnston stated
that any system satisfactory to the Board
OF Examiners satisfied him, but he would
rather have the board, through its secre-
tary, make its own investigations rather
than increase the payroll by adding an ex-
pert's salary for the purpose OF doing work
that had already been done. He invited
the Governor to make full investigation
OF everything connected with his office
either personally or otherwise. The Gov
ernor stated he would send Mr.. Harrison.
whom he had appointed expert on the 23d
OF July. This appointment had been made
by the Governor and secretary of the
board no other members being present
When Attorney General Fitzgerald was
asked yesterday to admit the advisability
of appointing printing expert, he could
not do so consistently, as he had only
few months ago asked the resignation
of a person holding that position on the
ground that he had no duties to perform.
The Governor still insists that he will pass
no bills without the recommendation of
Expert Harrison.

Mr.. Tacy reported that 95 per
cent OF the space has been taken up by
exhibitors, and there is every indication
that it will be the grandest fair ever held
on the Pacific Coast. Efforts will be made

facturers' and Producers Association s

Mr.. Tacy said that many of the labor
ing people are under mistake in con-
founding the names of the Manufacturers

ufacturers' and Employers Association.
George Walthew, one of the acknowledged
foes Of the laboring classes, is the secretary
OF the Manufacturers and EMPLOYERS
Association. the Office of which is in the
Mills building. Mr.. Tacy has had much
trouble in his dealings with the laboring
classes to disabuse their minds and to
