that it will be refunded on terms that
will assure full payment. In that case
there will be nothing for which to go
after the Stanford estate or any other
estate.
But Stanford had bequeathed the
bulk of his fortune to the endowment
of an institution in which Californian
youth of the present and future gener-
ations might enjoy the benefits of a lib
eral and useful education That en-
dowment and that institution the sue
cess of this suit would have imperiled.
II would have at least retarded its pro-
gress and crippled its present useful
ness. To the Government a judgment
would have been given of little conse-
quence. The main and material effect
would have been the destruction of Z
grand educational institution of incal-
culable benefit to the youth of Califor-
MIA for all time, and the qualification of
the malice of few splenetic blather-
sixties.
For that a lot of our people have been
egged on to clap their hands and ap-
plaud the carrying of this case through
three courts to a never uncertain but
foregone conclusion. Naturally they

SHERIFF WILKINS FREED.
Years of Slavery, and How
He Escaped.
Gratitude-Gains Fifteen Pounds
in Weight since His Rescue.

! URBANA (O.), March 5.-(Special).- -
This town is greatly exercised over the
remarkable rescue of Sheriff r. P. Will
kins from one of the worst forms of sla-
very known to man. He has now fully
recovered from the results of his ex-
perience, and talks freely and CRATE
fully of his deliverer. In an interview
to-day he said: 4 have been a perfect
slave to tobacco for over twenty-five
years; l smoked from twelve to fifteen
cigars a day. November 4th, last, |
bought my first box OF No-To- Bac from
Anderson q Cramer. l had little faith,
and to my great surprise, after using
part of the third box, 1 was completely
cured and did not have the least desire
| for tobacco. To-day [ feel better, [
sleep better, think better, and l have
gained fifteen pounds in weight, and
there is not a day passes that l do not
recommend NoTo-Bac to many of the
tobacco users whom I know are de-
stroying their lives and vitality by the
use of the weed.
Further investigation revealed the
fact that there are 800 people living in
this town and the surrounding country
who have been cured by No-To-Bac.
Anderson & Cramer stated that they
We're the first to start the good worl,
here, as Mr.. Anderson termed it. yes.
we introduced NoTo-Ba into this
town about three years ago. The de-
mand at the start was very light, the
folks had no faith in it, but we sold to a
few people, and to our great astonish-
ment every one reported a cure. Since
that time we have sold hundreds OF
boxes, and every one under a guarantee
to cure or refund the money, and,
strange as it may seem, we have never
had call to refund money"
No-To- -Bac not only relieves the nery-
Gus irritation and makes the use of to-
bacco entirely unnecessary, but at the
same time builds up and fortifies the
general physical condition AS a natu-
raj invigorator and stimulant we be-
lieve there is no preparation in America
to equal it.
THE public should be warned. how
ever, against the purchase of any of the
many limitations on the market, as the
success of No-To-Bac has brought forth
a host of counterfeiters and imitators.
The genuine No-To-B -Bac is made by the
Sterling Remedy Company, Chicago,
Montreal and New York, and is sold un-
der a guarantee to cure by all drug
gists, and every tablet has the word
! sNo-To-Bac plainly stamped thereon.

Result of the Decision of the United

(From the Colusa Sur

(From the Colusa SUM
If things keep on as they have been
going in the past, the time cannot be far
distant when in the East California
sentiment must become a byword and
a synonym of childish petulance and
unreason. Nearly all the time that
which is palmed off as the public opin-
ion of this State is at direct variance
with the intelligent and respected opin-
ion of other States, or at least of the
States east of the Mississippi
The latest manifestation of this kind
was in respect to the suit against the
Stanford estate which has just been
decided. In the light of Justice Har-
lan's clear. logical and unanswerable
decision in that case no doubt all of our
people who can think, and who have
been inveigled into blind and clamor
Gus demand for the prosecution of that
suit, will be filed with wonder at the
extent to which they have made fools
of themselves, or at least have been led
into foolishness.
1t was clear to many of us all along,
and is clear to everybody now who has
read Justice Harlan's simple but lucid
statement, that if the suit which was

claim have established one and mild

former composed of Eastern people and
the latter of Californians. And natu-
rally the inveigled and misled clamor-
ers are asking themselves why they
should have urged this discrimination.
But this is not all, nor the most un-

upon which to predicate such case,

VERY QUEER LAKE.
Puzzleto Biologists in the Blue Grass
Region of Kentucky.

Sinking Creek. in the northwestern
part of this county, is not a running
stream or creek, as one would imagine
from its name, but ii is a large lake
which forms only in the spring of the
year, when thaws and rainfall produce
an overabundance of water. saws a
Nicholasville correspondent in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. The formation Of n
lake covering over 200 acres of land
and sometimes over 300 comes with the
suddenness of rise in the Mississippi
River.
The lake is formed in hollow entire
ly surrounded by gradually inclining
hills of blue grass fields and meadows.
These hills are at first imperceptible to
the eye on account of the gradual and
even slope of the surrounding country.
a closer examination of the country
for miles around it all gradually in
clines to the place where the springtime
lake forms, but the place itself is mere
ly slightly rolling tract of land, over
which various fences, trees. and shrub
berries are seen. AS the lake depends
on the rainfall for its supply of water,
1t is larger some years than others, and
has been known to cover $40 acres Of
land, and the water all the way from
hve to thirty feet deep. This body Of
water is veritable Mecca for duck
hunters at the time of the year when
ducks pass through Kentucky on their
way to the Northern lakes.
There Is no outlet above the earth in
the way of creek or hollow. There is
no cave or sink hole ON any of the land
which is covered by water through
which the water may escape. Yet
within one month this immense amount
of water disappears. After the disap-
pearance the earth, which is covered.
instead of being wet, marshy place,
as is the case of an ordinary spring
time rise in water, is beautiful, fer
tile blue grass vale, over which blooded
kentucky stock roam during the sum-
mer months and fatten on the rich pas
turage. No appearance of marsh or
water weeds, etc, is found after the
lake has gone.
Exactly what causes the sinking" of
the lake has never been determined. al
though various geologists have visited
the scene. 1t is well-known fact that
quicksilver thrown into a pond or lake
will cause it to soon sink, and it is
claimed that the water forming this
lake, as it is drained down from the
surrounding hills, brings with it com.
position of some kind similar to mer.
curry or quicksilver in its action on sink.
ing lake. and that this is the key
to the mystery of Sinking Creek.
