SUES FoR A.REWARD.

Captor of Bandit Brady Brings Action
AgaSnst the Southern Pacific.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 9. - Senator
Frank Sprague began suit to-day against
the Southern Pacific Company, on behalf
of Alexander Mcdonald, who while acting
as Deputy Sheriff effected the capture of
Bandit Brady, who was concerned in the
great Yolo train robbery and also the at
tempt to rob the train at Reeds station
when Sheriff Bogard lost his life. Prior
to the Reeds station affair the railroad
company had offered reward of $4,000 for
the arrest and conviction of any person
guilty of train robbery on its line.
Now that Bandit Brady has donned
stripes and is rapidly gaining form in
Warden AulPs stoneyard, at Folsom, Nc
Donald has demanded the reward and has
met with a fiat refusal. In consequence
be has filed the com plant and begun suit.
w. A. Johnson, who was present at the
time Mcdonald made the arrest, has been
made co-defendant in the suit, and will be
required to show cause why the whole
amount should not be paid to plaintiff.

SAN RAFAEL'S BOULEVARD.
Governor Budd and Party Inspect the Re-
Gently Constructed Highway to
Tiburon.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Oct. Ex-Governor
Budd, accompanied by party of gentle
men to-day, ir an inspection of the drive
way known as the San Rafael and Tiburon
boulevard. Prison Director Wilkins, who
has done great deal to promote the en-
terprise, was major domo of the party,
which included, beside the Governor,
Prison Directors Hayes and Fitzgerald,
Warden Haley, A. w. Foster, Captain
Ellis, Supervisors Burbank, Scown and
Gardner, Editors Pryor and Barstow,
District Attorney Martinelli, Auditor Ben
son, ex-Sherlff Tunstead and others.
The work has been done by prison
labor, the Legislature having passed law
to authorize 1t, under special conditions,
and without which it would have been
impossible to secure this splendid high
way for many years. Several gangs Of
these laborers were passed on the way, en-
gagged in constructing two or three links,
or places not completed wnen the main
work was done. The finished part of the
road extends from Green brae station
northward nearly to q point opposite
Schuetzen Park, where the city has taken
up the work, and will continue it to Irwin
street, at the head of which is the en-
trance to the Hotel Rafael.
Governor Budd and the directors were
highly pleased with the work done. The
grade over the hills is very light-about
per cent. The road is cut along the side
OF the hills and macadamized, and makes
q magnificent drive, commanding pano-
ramas of splendid scenery CT the bay and
opposite coast. When completed to
1iburon, fourteen miles, it will afford one
of the most inviting drives and bicycle
courses in the State.

A letter-carrier said his wife liked coffee
so well and seemed to really need it at
breakfast 1t was too bad for the doctor to
order her to discontinue it. He told her
that her bad complexion, dyspepsia, ner-
vousness and occasional palpitation of the
heart all came from one cause and that
was coffee drinking. The good man went
on further to say: "My child, il you were
as strong as your husband and had the
miles of outdoor walking to do that he has
daily you could drink one cup OF coffee, or
perhaps two, at breakfast and dinner with
out any very bad effects, but the same
poisonous alkaloids exist in coffee as are
found in tobacco, whisky, strychnine and
morphine. There is not so great pro-
portion of them in coffee as in the other
drugs, but sufficient amount exists to
seriously injure any one whose constitu-
ton is little below par. All of these
drugs can be used for time by perfectly
healthy people, but if their use is per-
sisted in long enough the human body
finally gives evidence of the effect of the
steady poison, and many people who do
not know this fact die because of their IN
natural habits. If you could use hot
drink IN the morning made from the
nourishing grains that nature has pro-
vided for the use of man it would satisfy
your appetite and fatten your body"

Potcers of Corporations to Collect Assess
Dients From Shareholders.
LOS ANGELES. Call. Oct. 9.-The Su-
preme Court has affirmed the decision of
the lower court in the case of the Ven
tura and Ojai Valley Railway Company,
respondent, VS.. J. S. Collins, banker OF
Ventura, appellant.
The defendant bought twenty shares OF
stock of the company at the price of
$1,000. He paid several assessments, ag-
gregating $500, but refused to pay one
called June 6. 1895, of which his proper
ton was $500, and the company brought
suit to enforce payment.
The defendants demurrer having been
overruled and he declining to answer,
judgments went against him for $500.
The Supreme Court, in the opinion re-
ceived this morning, sees no reason for
overturning the decision.
The decision is far-reaching and has a
very important bearing respecting cor
porate powers to collect assessments on
shares In corporation wherein, as in the
present case, the shareholders are respon-
slble individuals.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 9.-The
streets of this city were thronged tonight
by the various Republican clubs busy at
their finishing drill before raiding Stock
ton tomorrow night. The echoing foot
steps of thousands drew half of the in
habitants of the city out of doors to criti-
cize and admire those of their acquaint-
ances who were in line.
At the various club headquarters the
secretaries were kept busiiy employed
during the entire evening enrolling new
names on the club rolls, applican nts stand

reach the enrolling-desk. At the head
quarters of the Assembly District clubs
over seventy names were added within q
half-hour, and all of the newcomers de-
manded suits, that they might take part
in the paredes scheduled for the balance
of the month.
It is now believed that at least three
trains will be necessary to convey the
crowd to Stockton to- morrow night, and
it has been found necessary to refuse hun.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 9.-Hon. f. x.
Schoonmaker, Congressman for New
Jersey, addressed two large audiences in
this city to-day. On the grounds OF the
Hotel Vendome this afternoon he deliy-
cred forcible address illustrating the fal-
lacy of the free-coinage of silver doctrine;
and this evening, at the pavilion, he de-
livered an exhaustive argument in favor
of a protective tariff.
In regard to the silver question, he said
the Democratic party in annuling the reci-
procity law of Blaine had destroyed the
only hope by which this country could
force foreign nations into an international
agreement for the free coinage of silver.
The election of Mckinley, he said, would
restore this law and enable the United
States to say to foreign countries that il
they failed to sign an international agree
ment this country would fail to have COM
mercial relations with them.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Oct. 9.-Stage
Driver Littlefeld, running between Santa
Cruz and Pescadero, brings information OF
an investigation by revenue officers of a
portion of the cargo of the steamship Co.
lombia, which was wrecked on Pigeon
Point in July. The greater portion of the
cargo has been removed, but one valuable
part of it was overlooked. 1t consisted of
large amount of Lucca olive oil in cans
from Italy for San Francisco. A great
deal of this oil is being secured by persons
along the coast. Some of 1t has been
brought to this city and has found ready
sale at 81 25 gallon. More has been sold
in Pescadero and some smuggled into San
Francisco.
There would have been duty payable
on the oil had the Columbia reached her
destination. The revenue officers at San
Francisco learned of the find and one of
them, Officer Bedban, went to Pescadero
recently and seized 300 gallons OF the oil
which was held by prominent citizen OF
that place.
The revenue department will hold all of
the oil it can find until the duty is paid on
il by the persons to whom it was con-
signed.

"In preparing these certificates l have
endeavored to act fairly and impartially
toward all, without the slightest tinge of
party feeling, believing that if the
question OF fusion admits of cavil
under the law it is far better
to have 1t fully settled by the
courts in order that no voter be misled in
casting his ballot, and believe that will
be uphelS in this statement by all those
members of the Democratic State
Central Committee who have met
with me on the question. 1 have
waited as requested by the latter
until the last moment required by law,
according to the opinion rendered by the
Attorney General, before mailing my Ger.
tificstes to the various County Clerks.
I would also state that 1 have never
been requested by the leaders of
either the Democratic or the Populist
parties to group their Presidential electors
under combined party heading. nor were
my intentions in the matter inquired into
by Chairman Afford until several days
after the certificates had been filed in my
Office"
