Inspector Dockery has been orbing along
the milky way during the past two days
and making tests in novel manner He
is his own lactometer and glass of the
lacteal fluid purchased and drank on GER
tain premises subjects the proprietor
thereof to visitation from law officer.
Recently the Board or Supervisors
passed an ordinance making it obligatory
on the part of hotel-keepers, restauranters
and grocerymen to procure milk license
No charge would be made for this legal
permission, but one was placed upon the
sin of omission to procure the needful per-
nit and that was misdemeanor.
The applications for licenses failed to
get in and the inspector went out Monday
to round them up. He went into the Pal
ace Hotel griliroom with bro other official
and ordered two glasses of milks They
were unknown to the waiter but the
novelty Of the order almost paralyzed him.
They paid for and drank their milk and
wrote Manager J. c. Kirkpatrick's name
in their inside pocke tbooks. At the Occi-
dental and number of other caravan
saries they ordered and drank milk until
they thought they would never thirst for
milk again.
Before the couple reached the California
Hotel General Warfield had heard of the
| drinking raids and posted his walters to
make no charges for the milk they con-
sumed. When the two guests rendered
| payment they were surprised to find the
house at their disposal ana without money
and without price.

In Idaho since 1864, but for the past seven
years he has had mining interests in Cali

Mr.. Wiley was elected Lieutenant 6 ov-
ernor in 1890, at the time George Shoup,
now United States Senator, was elected
Governor. When Mr.. Shoup became Sem

two years. He is practical miner and is
now giving his entire attention to the min

He is one of the leading owners in the
Redstone, formerly the Taafe mine, two
miles from Blue Canyon and thirteen
miles from Dutch Flat. The property is
(.now being opened up. There is a five
stamp mill on it, and five more stamps are
to be erected now, While n large mill will
be built later. The Ex-Governor says the
property has large body of low-grade ore.

the property. They succeeded so we'll that

Captain W. L. Merry, r. G. Sheath,
Hugh Craig, Charles Nelson and Captain
j. +. Chapman, representing the Chamber
of Commerce, waited upon the Commits
sioners to see what could be done in the
matter of extending the belt railroad from
its present terminus to the Mail Dock.
Sheath strongly advocated the building of
the road and said that for the want of it
San Francisco's imports by sea had not
increased for four years. According TO
him all the profits are eaten up by carriage
bills, and it is cheaper to move goods to
| Port Costa than to the Southern Pacific
road manufacturers were moving to
| Stockton, Antioch and Port Costa because
| there they could secure better facilities.
"Well, what can we do to give. you any
relief?" asked Commissioner Chadbourne.

| dock and bring the railroad and shipping 6
! together" was the answer.
| 1t was pointed out that there was no p
| preparation with which to extend the sea-
| wall, and until that was done the belt road
| could not be built
Sheath suggested the building of the
| road on piles, but Chief Engineer Holmes
said such an idea was impracticable, as
there would be no place for switches and
no yards.
Captain Merry said it was absolutely
| necessary to bring the shipping and the
railroads together. If this was done mil-
lions would be saved to the mercantile
community every year. Hugh Craig said
that there would be no difficulty in build
ing the remaining 5000 feet of road north
of Market, and the only difficulty would
be the 1890 feet from Market street south to
the Mail dock. II" said he, "the board
has not the money the Chamber Of Com
merce will undertake to raise it."
1t was finally decided to allow Chief
Engineer Holmes to make out a list of the
difficulties in the way of extending the
| road and the Chamber of Commerce will
point out the manner in which they can
be overcome ii possible.
President Colron refused to sign the bill
| of $97 so for water sent in by Goodall,
Perkins & Go. He said it was excessive
and argued that dredgers ana pile drivers
were not shipping" The matter was

None but those who have suffered the

to such an one to be entirely freed from

ly the lines of his Brooklyn speech. He
said, in part:
''Mr. Bryan tries to prejudice the West
against the East, conveying the idea that
the East loans money to the West and by
some process secures gains which come
from labor on the farms in the prairie
states. All the Western states are the
creations of credit. Borrowed money built
the railroads. built their cities and their
manufactures. and enabled the young
farmer who had taken a quarter section
from the government to buy his stock.
build his house and barns and fences. OF
this borrowed money, SO far as the rail-
roads are concerned, at least. nearly one
half has been lost. The .Atchson, Topeka
& Santa Fe road and the Northern Pacific
road are conspicuous examples of the mil
lions on millions of Eastern money, where
the creditor, by the failure of the roads,
has had his capital cut in two. But the
West has the railroads just the same.
.'Since 1873 the prosperity OF the country
on the gold basis has created confidence
Confidence has made money plenty and
loanable upon such security as the West
lad to offer. The rate of interest. which
in 1873 was per cent month on the best
security and 2 per cent a month on poor
security, has gone down to and per
cent a year. The farmer suffers from low
markets by the Argentine Republic. Aus
traia, Egypt and India. whose wheat has
come to London only in the last ten years.
But the low prices would be made up to
him il he had a home market
LOSS of credit and confidence in the last
three years has paralyzed the industries of
the country and has paralyzed the pur-
chasing power of the wage earners.
In such cases the. change in the pur-
chase of food products is simply incalcula-
bic. cite an instance on one OF the roads
of which I am director, in a mining dis
trict which formerly received fourteen cars
a day of dressed beef. Now the mines are
closed and the furnaces are gone out of
blast This large district has no employ
ment The people had to live on saving
deposits and on sales of their scaRty ef-
fects. They had to change their mode of
living to a cheaper one. and from fourteen
carloads of beef daily there is now shipped
there but one week. This meant the
throwing back of stock on the farmers TO
feed or kill. If they cannot afford to keep
them they must sell. This shows how
many hundreds are affected"

gold standard. as especially benefiting the
farmers OF the West. and appealed to them
to vote for Mckinley.

murder of the woman was done in the
most cold-blooded manner. Nitz and his

because of her constant efforts to obtain
possession of his property. This provoked
frequent quarrels between them, and this
afternoon during one of their rows. he
stabbed her in the abdomen with surgical
instrument. The wound was not inmedi-
ately fatal, and the doctor. sitting down
by her side, stabbed her again, this time in
a manner which insured her death. He
then, as is proved by notes that were found
after his death. sat by the woman's side
watching her die slowly. Now and then,
to note the effect of another wound, he
would jab his knife into her again. He
carefully noted all the symptoms of the
woman's approaching demise, and at one
time left the house and the dying woman
while he procured an oyster stew at
neighboring restaurant and bought the re-
volver with which he shot himself For
over four hours, as shown by his notes. he
sat by the woman watching her die. Late
in the afternoon, when the police had been
notified of the murder. Nitz hid himself in
the basement of the house and when he
found that there was no chance of his es-
cape he shot himself through the head

seem to be warranted by any known devel-
opments. No expression of their revival
of hope is given by them, but it is vaguely
limited that they have very encouraging
news regarding the labor vote. The Repub-
licans, however, say that no revival of
confidence by the Bryan people can be
warranted by reliable information, and
they think that if the Democrats are sin
cere in believing things are Frightening
for them, they are being deceived. 1t may
be that they are encouraged simply by
newspaper reports that the Republican
managers alarmed, which have been
