the people of the Pacific Coast had been
distributed and that copies had been sent
to all the leading papers in the United
States.
THAT was the only way" said the
Mayor 'that this could be got before the
men chosen to represent the people. The
more | think OF the matter the more l be-
come convinced that the people are utterly
Indifferent to their interests. If they paid
one-tenth the attention to the funding bill
that they do to the Brown Davidson scan
dial the chances for the passage OF the bill
would be greatly diminished.
The Senate committee on the Pacific
railroads Is no better for the coast than
the one named in the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t is the same thing-all for
the octopus. 1t is a shame to think that
those who are representatives, or sup
posed to be representatives, of the people
can lend themselves to assist such a
scheme as the octopus will try to engineer
through Congress and lay themselves open
to a charge OF bribery. There is an i'm
mense sack to be used by the octopus to
carry this measure, and it will be used
freely.
Talk about the glorious American flag
and patriotism and the Monroe doctrine
with regard to little piece of land dow
in South America that no one cares about
That is all very well, but there would be a
greater show of patriotism if the men in
Washington would look out for the inter-
est OF their own people, stand up fairly
and squarely for their rights and insist
that the railroad company meet its obliga-
tons.
Now, mark my words, if the octopus
succeeds in passing the funding bill, it will
become all-powerful, and it will not be
long before all competing roads will be
wiped out Of existence"
Speaking,of THE CALLS suggestion that
ex-Congressman Camlnetti would be q
suitable man to send to Washington to
fight the funding bill, the Mayor said
"Mr. Caminetti is good man, and he did
we'll during the last fight. Still it is money
more than men we need just now. 1t is
money, for without money men cannot be
sent on TO Washington. Get the money
first, and then talk of the men afterwards

but suppose it has collected some money
II may have some three Or four thousand
dollars. Asnice amount that to fight a cor
poration that Is willing to spend an I'M
limited amount to bribe any one who will

II believe that during the coming week
the octopus will move in this matter, and

RIFLEMEN TO UNITE.
Preparations for the Formation Of
the Proposed Rifle. Association
in the State,


in the State.
A number of the prominent National
Guard officers interested in the devel-
opment of rife practice at the military
ranges have been working for some time
in the direction of arranging a meeting of
military authorities and establishing a
State Rife Association. Matters have now
been pretty we'll prepared and it is ex-
pected that the convention of military
marksmen will be held before the end of
the month The promotion of the we'll
being of the military marksmen has been
discussed at headquarters, and Generals
Dimond, Barrett and Warfield have ex
pressed themselves in favor of some plan
by which such an end might be attained.
The commanding officers of regiments
and companies throughout the State have
been consulted with regard to the project
of concentrating all the enthusiasm In mill
itary craftsmanship in a rit1eman's asso-
citation, and the scheme has been generally
approved. The encoura ement accorded
it has been of such a gratifying kind that
several OF the City officers propose to hold
a meeting Immediately.
II is intended to combine all the regi-
ments in tie State in one organization for
the development of the rifle firing sci
ence. Representatives from the several
oIlgdues anu Ie lllieiiIo WIN oe present 10
suggest methods by which this may be
done and temporary organization will be
effected at once.
The new rifle association will very prob
ably be organized on the lines of the old
association which had control of the prac-
tice some few years ago.
There is considerable talk in the service
about securing a range on this side of the
bay and it is intended that preparations
shall be made at once TO send a crack team
from California TO the Eastern competi-
tions in the autumn.

PARK AND BEACH.
Contributions to the Museum-The Sutro
Road-Balloon Ascension.

ROad-BaIlOOn ASCENSION
There has been donated to the Park
Museum by Mr.. Hamblin of Healdsburg,
Sonoma County, piece of silk that was
brought over on the Mayfower The
dress was made of silk woven in Italy for
the grandmother of Mrs. Hamblin who is
now in her seventy-fifth year.
1t was a court dress with long
train, and when not worn on
state occasions the train was by means of
an immense silver buckle raised so as to
give the appearance of skirt of ordinary
length.
During the week ending Saturday 1882
persons visited the museum.
The Mldwinter Fair bandstand has been
removed from the grand court and will be
placed on an eminence opposite and south
of the japanese Tea Garden. 1t Will be
used as summer house.
There were more cyclers in the park
yesterday than there has been on any one
day in the past three months. 1t was
noticed that nearly all of them kept off
the main drive after reaching the cyclers'
special track, and they kept on that to
and from the beach.
A large force of carpenters were at work
Yesterday putting up the sheds north OF
the new Cliff House, and many men were
at work on the finishing touches in the
new house. 1t is expected that it will be
ready in about ten days.
The cars OF the Sutro line were run over
the line from the carhouse east Saturday
and found to travel nicely. The line to
the west cannot be tested on account of
the injunction that prevents the cars from
being run over the knights of Pythias
Cemetery. This matter will probably he
settled this week, and then the Sutro road,
the Sutro baths and the Cliff House will be
opened simultaneously.
At the Haight-street grounds the officers

Miss Viola, handsome blonde of %, and
no objection was made to the ascent. The

ty-seventh trip to the clouds. The young

HEALTH LAWS.
PAINS and ACHES.

Cold produces pains; carelessness, scanty
clothing and draughts bring on the cold
avoid them.
pain in the back means disordered
kidney, often produced by cold.
A pain in the face, neck, head or chest is
too often neuralgia-hot applications are
beneficial! and be sure to use joys Vege-
table Sarsaparilla moderately.
Pains in the joints and muscles are rheu-
matte pains produced often by exposure
and cold and cured often by the moderate
use of joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
x*#
Pains in the bowels may mean dis
ordered liver, cold in the bowels or
chronic constipation; if you use joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla these pains will
disappear and mean nothing.
Pains in the stomach spring from dis
ordered digestion and spring out again
when you use joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
Away with substitutes, they fill the cof-
fers OF the druggists and that's all.
Headaches, pains over the brow, pains at
the back of head, pains on the top of
the head or temple are relieved and COM
pletely cured by joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla.
~
Pains in the shoulders usually mean
torpid liver, but this torpid liver can be
made active by the use of joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla and the pains will cease.
Violent Mains in the repion of the liver
caused often from gallstones, are relieved
by the use of joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
If you wish to use joys Vegetable Sarsa-
paril!a ask your druggist for it. If he at
tempts to substitute leave his place and
try another druggist. This is certainly
fair.

aid as Treadway, Lang and Stanley added

disengaged heroes of the -remunera-

The features of the game were the bat
ting of Monahan, who got three doubles
and q sacrifice; the base-stealing of Mertes,
who took three bags in one inning, and the
not unexpected lucky stick work of the
Paeifics when they punched their good
hitters in the seventh and pulled them
selves out of very deep hole.

The Story of the Husband.

H. W. Hill, of whom reports were published
regarding his marital infelcities states that
his wife, Cleopatra Hill, has had no reason to
charge him with cruelty and thereby present
an application for divorce. He declares that
during the five years of their married life they
had no domestic troubles until few months
ago. Then, he states, Mrs. Hill became stage
struck and left him after running him in bust
ness. He is willing that she should secure the
separation, but proposes to have the custody

4 FIRE RAGING IN 4 COAL NINE.
Considerable Apprehension Entertained as

A Man Swept Over Niagara Falls
Three Miners Instantly Killed.

FAIRMONT, Mimi, Oct. 3.-The sec
ond Sherburne bank robber is guarded
by the militia here, grave fears of an
attempt at lynching being entertained
by the authorities. The young desper-
ado gives as his reason for not divulg-
ing his name that he has a praying
mother and sister of very high connec-
tion and repute, and he will never al
low them to stand the stigma of such
a crime. He is the coolest man in Fair
mont, although there is great danger
of him dangling at a ropes end. The
county officials at eight o'clock last
night called out so members of COM
pany d, and had them stationed in
side the Jail inclosure A report was
received from Sherburne that a mob
was forming there to march on the
Jail here, but officers declare they will
not surrender their man. On the
street a great deal of excitement exists.
| The bandit has confessed, in addition
| to his previous admissions, that he and
the dead robber, who was his brother,
| fired a barn at Heron Lake, Mimi, a
| week ago, with the idea of robbing the
bank during the excitement. Owing
to the care the cashier took to lock up
the funds, the plan failed. He says
they broke into a hardware store at
| Sherbupne and stole the revolvers and
bicycles. A Mason City, Ia, special
says that the dead robber known as J.
H. Sair, has been identified as Jesse
Lake, who clerked in that city last May.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The post Office
department has on file complaints
against various postmasters charged
with taking too active a part in the
campaign. majority of the COM
plants were sent to the president by
citizens and in all OF them it appeared
that the officials were electioneering
for Bryan and free silver Early in the
campaign Postmaster-General Wilson
sent to all postmasters an order of the
president advising them not to become
too active in politics Recently Michi-
gan postmaster was removed for not OBJ
serving this warning The latest COM
plant received is against William S.
Norwood, postmaster at Titusville,
Fla. No action has yet been taken
against the late offenders, but it is
possible that post Office inspectors may
be assigned to investigate the charges
against the most fragrant cases.
