the necessity for the council is obviated by

Over 100 Arrive and Will En-
gage in Raising Livestock
in Mendocino.
THOUSANDS MORE TO COME.
A Tract Of About 1000 Acres of Land
Secured for Their Occupancy
by Father Jeram.

The Rev. Father Peter Joseph Jeram,
president of the California Slavonian col
ony, Eden Valley. Mendocino County,
arrived here yesterday, accompanied by
102 people for the colony.
They came from Ohio, Pennsylvania.
Illinois, Wisconsin and other States. Three
were from Rock Springs, Wyo. All the
colonists were quartered at the Russ House,
and after lunch went to see the park, Cliff
and other attractions of the City. They
are largely of German, SIavonian and Aus
trian extraction.
All are bound to Eden Valley, where
22,000 acres of land have been purchased,
and where a bond has been obtained on as
much more. The colonists will conduct
their business on the cooperative plan.
They are practical growers of livestock,
and this will be their speciality in Eden
Valley.
They will raise cattle, hogs and fowls
and as Father Jeram states, when 60 per
cent duty is placed on wool they will raise
sheep.
This is only the beginning of our
colony enterprise" said Father Jeram.
''All the arrangements have been made
for it to become gigantic success. That
valley up there is to be new fatherland to
the colonists. We have got $4,000 acres
there now and have arranged to take a
great deal more. There will be some more
colonists tomorrow and about 125 on Sun
day, and after that they will come along
by hundreds.
tThere will be many thousand colonists
before we complete our work. Fully 5000
will be in the valley before the end of the
year."
N. II. Lang of Young & Lang, whose
firm is interested in the lands secured for
the colony, was with Father Jeram. Mr..
Lang recounted that the colony was in
corporated on the basis of $5O0,00O. The
land lies between the north and middle
forks of the Eel River, forty-seven miles
north OF Ukiah. 1t was only recently
thrown open to colonization. Large guam
titles of hardware, groceries and other
supplies have been forwarded for the colo
nists. Of the crowd who arrived yester-
day there were 43 men, % women and
"a children.
The colonists appear to be very ener-
getic, active people.

ton, which will contain 1910 delegates. 1t
will be the largest public National conven-
ton ever known in America.
I. V. Gator reported the Populists as be-
ing thoroughly organized throughout the
State and that their ranks were increasing
daily. Thirty-nine delegates will be sent
to the National Convention at st. Louis.
In this City the clubs in the eighteen
Assembly districts will be reorganlzed.
For this purpose the executive committee
will meet every Saturday evening hence
forward at Mozart Hall. After the State
Convention shall have finished its labors
the State Executive Committee will open
headquarters, open to the public daily.
Reports come in to the effect that new
Populist clubs are being organized IN every
precinct in the State. In all the precincts
of Shasta County clubs are being organ
lied where none existed before.
Assemblyman T. w. II. Shanahan of
Shasta has left a big gap in the Democratic
ranks of that county by forswearlng his
Democracy and joining the Populists. Mr..
Shanahan, IN a card recently published IN
the Redding Searchlight, thus slaps the
Democracy:
"When it comes to following so-called
Democratic party which out-Sherman s
Sherman it is asking too much of a Jeffer-
sonian Democrat"
The California silver men will await the
developments of those conferences as well
as the doings of the other parties. The
Populists will not know until after that
date whether there will be fusion with the
silver men and how to build their State
platform. In San Francisco the Popullsts
have begun the word of actively reviving
and building up their party organization.

Jackson's Beautiful Epitaph.

"I contend that no more beautiful cpl
taph was ever written than that written by
President Andrew Jackson regarding his
wife" said Captain Sam Donelson of Ten
nessee, and he took from his pocket book
a scrap of paper that he has carried for
many years. Captain Donelson is great
nephew OF the wife of Old Hickory, but
everybody will subscribe to the beauty OF
the words written in her memory:
Here lie the remains of Mrs. Rachel
Jackson, wife of President Jackson, who
died Decem Der %, 1928, aged 81 years. Her
face was fair, her person pleasing, her
temper amiable and her heart kind. She
delighted in relieving the wants of her
fellow-creatures and cultivated that divine
pleasure by the most liberal and unpre-
tending methods. To the poor she was a
benefactor, to the rich an example. and to
the wretched comforter. Her piety went
hand in hand with her benevolence,
and she thanked her Creator for being
permitted to do good; being so gentle
and yet so virtuous slander might wound
but could not dishonor. Even death, when
he tore her from the arms of her husband,
could but transport her to the bosom of
her God. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

AN INDIAN FIGHTER SUFFERS
AGONIES FROM DISEASE.
He Was in the Battle With the Apaches
When Geronimo Was Captured.

From the Press New York City.
Worn with the exposure of army life on the
frontier and poisoned by the continued drink
ing of alkali water, Joseph Flegauf returned
to Philadelphia eight years ago, broken down
IN health and unable to do any work
He served five years with the Ninth United

came near such a fate as that. A long time
before his time was out he was taken seriously
i'll but he stuck to his post until an honora BILE
discharge was finally given to him.
When he reached Philadelphia the Indian
fighter was scarcely more than skin and bones,
and for three weeks he lay desperately i'll in a
hospital. He felt dizzy and his stomach felt
as if it had dried up. These symptoms were
accompanied by bloody dysentery, which no
medicine seemed to relieve.
After two years of suffering Mr.. Flegauf
came to New York and was treated by several
physicians. These did not agree. some calling

with all the money he spent for advice and
medicine, he was able to work only a small

so i'll that his voice and hearing almost left
him.
Then all medicines failed, and the sick p,an
had little hope Of recovery. At this critical
time DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
were recommended to Mr. Flegauf, and, almost
as q last hope, he began taking them.
'The beneficial effect of the. medicine was
felt at once" Mr.. Fiegauf told the reporter,

DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are
not patent medicine in the sense that name
implies. They were first compounded as

tice by an eminent physician. So great was
their efficacy that it was deemed wise to place
them within the reach of all. They are now

Women Temperance Workers and Suf-
fragists Need Not Conflict.
Commenting upon the general impress
sion that the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union convention will not be well
coined by the woman suffragists, the PacI-
fic Ensign, the w. G. T. U. organ, says:
1t is to be regretted that the impression has
gotten out that there is an antagonism between
the suffragists and the w. C. T. u. in regard to
holding the National convention of the w. c..
T. u. in San Francisco. While there may be q
difference of opinion in regard to the effect of
the convention, that will not prevent the two
working together harmonously. This is not
temperance fight. Did the suffragists expect
to bring the influence of the temperance peo-
pie to bear upon the campaign, an invitation
would have been extended to the National
convention to convene here in October.
As the time set for holding this gathering is
in November, after the State election, it proves
that the suffragists are going into the fight
with but one issue, and will stand or fall on
its merits. The justness of the ballot being
granted to woman is their one plea, and they
will not go into any by-paths to join on or to
fight their issues; nor is 1t their intention to
inquire into the personal belief or status of
any individual. free and untrammeled bal

CABALISTIC SIGNS.
A Lottery-Ticket Seller Caught in the
Act by Policeman in the
Mission.


Act by Policeman in the
Mission.
The cabalistc signs made by canvassers
and others on doors in the Mission have
put the police on their mettle, and strict
lookout has been kept for any one doing so.
Yesterday afternoon Policeman Smith
saw an old man making marks with a
pencil on the doors of houses in the neigh
borhood of Diamond and Twenty fourth
streets after he had made CALL
Smith got as close to him as he could,
and when he had ocular demonstration
of the fact placed him under arrest. He
examined the mark and found it was in
the form of the letter "P." The lady of
the house told Smith that the old man
had been selling her lottery ticket.
Smith took the old man to the Seven
teenth-street station, where he gave the
name of George Peters, so years of age.
He admitted that he had been selling
lottery tickets and made the mark on the
doors so as to show him that the house
was safe to call at in future. He was
booked on the charges of selling lottery
tickets and malicious mischief.
Peters has been a resident of the Mis-
sion for number of years and kept a
fruit-store on Twenty-fourth and Mission
streets, and later on Valencia street.
After giving up the fruit business he
started in to sell lottery tickets.

Some Treasures in a London Society's
Museum.
The chief treasures in the Bronte So
ciety's museum are among the manu-
scripts, which are both numerous and in
trinsically interesting. Round one of
them-the plain, calf-bound volume which
contains the original manuscript of the
first volume of "Jane Eyre'-the whole
exhibition may be considered to
center. 1t is written in tiny
band on the quarro letter-paper in general
use at that day and fills 225 pages. The
date, "March 16, 1S47,' written at the top
of the opening page, shows that it was not
the first copy, but transcript. The hrst

script of "Villette." This extends to 272
pages, and is probably the first and only
