PRESIDENT TANNER SPEAKS.
Bis Interpretation Last Night of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dream.

his Interpretation Last Night of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dream.
According to appintment, President
Henry S. Tanner spoke yesterday in the
Pythian Castle. A large and attentive
audience was there to hear him. The
time during the afternoon session was
occupied in speaking upon the PROPOSE
ton How and Why Mormonism Came
Into Existence" It was stated that, as
the Primitive Church had gone into
apostacy it was necessary that there
should be arestoration. This restoration
of the true gospel took place about the
beginning of the present century. It is
again given to man that he may save
himself by yielding obedience to it's
principles.
Nebuchadnezzar' Dream and It's
Historical Fulfllment" was the sub
jeet of the evening discourse. The
speaker said that the image seen by
the great monarch represented the chief
events of the worlds history from his
day to the end of the world; that the
different substances composing the i'm
age represented the rise and sway of
the worlds great empires in the fol-
lowing order: The images head of gold
represented the Babylonian Empire.
The breast and arms of silver, he said,
represented the Medo-Persian Empire,
the conqueror and successor of the
Babylonian The belly and thighs of
brass symbolized the Macedonian En-
pire The legs and feet of iron repre-
sented the Roman Empire, which over
threw and succeeded the Macedonian.
The ten toes typified ten kingdoms that
were to arise from the domains Of the
last great empire of iron. This we find
fulfilled in the division of the Western
Empire into the ten kingdoms of the
fifth or sixth century.
Monarchs have arisen, such as Char
lemagne or Napoleon, threatening to
extend their arms around several of the
ten kingdoms dissolve their boundaries
and mold them into one vast empire;
but after the death of such conquerors,
though boundaries may have been
changed, they resolve themselves into
the original number, ten, as had been
deereed by the prophet of God.
In the days when the image was COM
plete and stood upon it's feet, a rock, cut
from the mountain without hands,
should roll forth, strike the image upon
the toes, grind the whole image to pow
der and fill the whole earth. This rock
represents the Kingdom of Heaven
set up upon the earth in the last days,
and it must continue to grow till it fills
the whole earth, when the Messiah
shall come and reign as King of Kings
and Lord of ords

THE COURSING MATCH.
A Great Day, But It Was Not Finished
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
A coursing match of unusual interest
was held yesterday at Purrington's
ranch, on the Marysvil1e road, there
having been nothing to equal it for
many years.
A number of prominent dogs from San
Francisco and Merced were entered and
large number of coursing men had
come up with the evident intention of
giving the Sacramento contingent
a warm rally and bear away with them
the laurels of victory, if possible.
John Grace and James Wren of San
Francisco, who are credited with being
the best judge and slipper in the coun-
try, acted in those capacities. L. w.
Mahoney and j. Stout acted as field
stewards, and the occasion passed off
with perfect satisfaction to ALL
The results were as follows: First
ties-San Joaquin beat Banjo, Governor
Jim beat Captain Jim, Little Wonder
beat Fly, Gile beat Skyball, Nellie Con-
roy beat Straight Tip. Snowdrift beat
Markham, Wayfarer ran a bye.
Second ties-San Joaquin beat Gov
ernor Jim, Little Wonder beat Way
farer, Gile beat Nellie Conroy, Snow
drift ran bye.
The balance of the coursing, which
will be run off next Sunday, stands as
follows: Little Wonder against Way
farer, Gile against Nellie Conroy, Snow
drift a bye.

T. n. Walker Arrested Yesterday on
That Charge.
T.. H. Walker, who conducts a second
hand store on Fourth street, between ]
and K, was arrested by Officer Talbot
yesterday for receiving stolen prop
erty, knowing the same to have been
stolen.
Jacob Loyed of Orangevale reported
at the police station yesterday that his
house had been burglarized and that he
had located some of the booty in Walk
er's place. Loyed accompanied the off,
Ger there and pointed out that which he
said belonged TO him. Walker said he
had purchased the property from a col
ored man. He described the latter and
from the description Loyed concluded
that he had been employed at one time
on a ranch near Orangeyale.
Among the articles claimed by Loyed
was q valise which he attempted to
take with him when bout to leave Walk
ers store. Walker objected and took
hold of him for the purpose of prevent
ing him from leaving with the valise.
officer Talbot then interfered on behalf
of Loyed and as Walker would not de-
sist from attempting to prevent the man
from Orangeyale from taking his prop
erty he placed him under arrest.
Just at this time Ed. Rego, who keeps
a saloon on Fourth street near Walkers s
place of business, came in and so the
officer states, attempted to prevent him
from taking Walker TO the police sta
ton. Rego was so persistent in his ef-
forts to prevent Talbot doing his duty,
the latter states, that he arrested Rego
also. He was charged with resisting
an officer and disturbing the peace.
The officers say they have every rea-
son to believe that W'14iker conducts a
s'fence"-a place where stolen property
is disposed of.
The other day the railroad officials in
this city were informed that a hammer
with the words IS. P. Co." stamped on

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera house this even
ing the Eldridge- Hallett Stock Com
pany will present a new bill and one
that promises to be very attractive.
Truth is that their bill last week was
weak and not worthy of the capacity of
the troupe or the experience of the
management. They promise great
deal better now, and we believe the
promise will be kept. We are to have
the screaming low comedy farce 1.-THE
Arabian Nights" with the following
cast: Arthur Hummingtop, Charles E.
Eldridge; Ralph Ormerod, George
Montserrat; Joshua Gillibrand, William
Brewer; Dobson, Charles Davies; Mrs.
Hummingtop, May Powers; Mrs. Gilli-
brand, Maggie Francis; Rosa Colon
bier, Anita Bridger; Daisy Maitland.
Kitty O'Brien; Barbara, Blanche
Coates In addition to this there is to
be special attraction in the appearance
of the noted athletes and pantomimists
Les Trois Freres Mathies,'' and the
Partisan favorite Marthe Marthy. The
Mathies are three in number as their
title indicates, and will introduce a
pantomime entitled 1.-The Devil in the
Kitchen" in which some new and start
ling mechanical tricks are features,
with acrobatic feats, contortions, dane
ing, etc. Mile Marthy gives for her part
of the entertainment a speciality of her
own invention that is not entitled, but
is said to be surprisingly clever and en-
tertaining.
Rice's 1892" company drew packed

The University of California Glee
Club will be heard at the Congrega-

auspices of the Sacramento Lecture As
sociation. The young men of this or
ganization came up yesterday. They
came representing their college, and
they like to be thought of as a club of
the University of California rather
than the Berkeley Glee Club. Tonight
they will give one of their notable en-
tertainments, and they can be counted
on to please the musical taste and en-
tertain likewise by their wit and humor.
In this organization PARCELS still
charms with his violin, and the old
favorites remain in large numbers, while
the club has recruited d number of fresh
voices. The press notices during the
past year are, if possible, more appre-
ciative and cordial than ever before.
The announcement, however, ought TO
be enough. All who have heard the
club surely desire to hear it again, and
those who have not have had desire so
quickened that they will seize this op
portunity if at all desiring to be enter

THEY WERE SCARED.
What Four Folsom Youths Found In a
Hollow Tree.

Hollow Tree.
What's that?"
Great Scott! boys, what have we
struck here?''
And then four young men sped over
rocks and logs on their way to Folsom
to arouse the inhabitants with a tale
Of horror-perchance one of murder
This was the way it happened: They
had gone out on the north side of the
American River to chop wood, about
two miles above Folsom. Finding a
hollow tree about three feet in diameter,
they thought it promised them an easy
job and proceeded to fell it.
Things progressed very nicely until
they had cut the tree about half-down,
when down tumbled a thigh bone, white
and polished. They were startled, but
after an exclamation of wonder pro-
ceeded with the work. They were des-
tined to a more startling interruption,
however, for in a few minutes down
rolled a human skull and some more
bones, and it became a race as to which
one could most quickly leave the spot.
They never stopped running till they
reached Folsom and told their tale.
Parties went back with them to the
spot and the remaining bones were
drawn from the hiding place, where
they had evidently remained for many
long year, and taken to Folsom. They
were as clean as If no flesh had ever
covered them, and there was no cloth
ing left Attached to the skull was a
queque about eight inches long, showing
that its former owner had been a China
man, and the bones showed him to have
been large man. The only hole in the
tree was one about twelve feet from the
ground, and he must have entered
there, unless he stood still and let the
tree grow around him.
What story is hidden in that old tree?
Was it accident or murder? Did he en-
ter the hole in order to hide himself
and, slipping downward, die there, una
BILE to extricate himself? Did he die of
hunger, or did the ants that have their
nests in such places eat him up piece
meal? Was he tried. and condemned by
a court of his countrymen, and placed
there to die such horrible death? Did
he climb up there to escape pursuit? 1t
is not likely that the question will ever
be answered, for it was evidently so
many years ago that his disappearance
has been forgotten.
AS it was not at all likely that Coro-
ner Clark would care to hold an inquest
on what little remained of him, the
bones were buried.

FOLSOM CRUSHED ROCK
It Is to be Sold Only for Use on Public
Highways.

The State Prison Directors and the
members of the State Bureau of High
ways met as joint board at San Quen-
tin on Saturday TO discuss the question
Of the disposal of the road material
from the rock-crushing plant at Fol-
som, which viii be ready for distribu-
tion about April 1st.
Commissioner Manson thought the
first matters to be determined were:
Who was entitled under the law to be
money should be secured in the easiest
and safest fashion?
The first difficulty to be disposed of
was to determine what would be the
cost of the rock, the plant not yet be-
ing in operation. Warden Aull, who was
present, stated that he thought by the
1st of February affairs would be in such
a position that he would be able to ap-
proximate closely to the cost to which,
under the law, 10 per cent. must be
added. He was instructed to make an
approximate estimate and report to the
board
Mr.. Manson stated that, in his opin-
ion, the provisions of the Act precluded
the possibility of furnishing the mate
rial to any but counties and municipal
tiles, the intention being to use it on
the public highways.
Director De Pue asked if there was
any demand for it, and was answered
emphatically in the affirmative. Com
missioner Irvine said that Sacramento
wanted 10000 yards of the Folsom trap
rock, Stockton wants large amount
for it's streets and the county of San
Joaquin also wants considerable. The
State Board Of Capitol Commissioners
also wants a large amount.
The board finally adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That highway metal shall
be sold only when to be used on public
highways; and that every contractor
doing public work shall be allowed to
purchase on certificate to that effect
from the proper public authorities, at
prices to be hereafter fixed, all rock to
be paid for before being shipped.
The directors wish it to be understood
that the resolution means that cash is
to be the essence of any contract for the
delivering of rock, and that the cash,
when a sufficient bond is furnished, is
to be construed in the sense of a month
ly settlement.
Another meeting will be held as soon
as Warden Auu has prepared his re-
port of the approximate cost of the
crushed material and the price to be
charged, and all preliminaries for sup
plying the rock will then be settled.
