goes with her father into the mountainous

uance Of the trial until the 9th of No
vember.
Lee was to have been tried yesterday,
but his counsel informed Judge Hink-
son that they were endeavoring to find
certain important witnesses and ex-
pected to succeed In a short time. They
are the persons who reared Lee and
would testify to peculiarities in his
conduct going to establish the claim
that he is at times irresponsible for his
acts.
Mr.. Jones, who acted as spokesman
for the trio who are defending Lee, also
Informed the court that they expected
to find the person who attended Lees
mother when he was born, and that she
could testify that he was unlike other
infants, showing there was something
wrong with him.
The continuance asked for was
granted against the objection of Dis
trict Attorney Ryan, Judge Hinkson
saying he thought counsel should have
ample time in which to collect their
testimony.
Lees father was in the courtroom
during the proceedings, but did not act
as If he fully comprehended the serious
nature Of the situation in which his
son is placed.

AREYOU A BICYCLIST?
IF 50, You Should Not Fail to Profit BY
the Hints Given Below.

IF 80, You Should Not Fail to Profit BY
the Hints Given Below.
The discussions which have been going
on in the papers during the past months
as to whether bicycle riding is a healthful
recreation, naturally attracts wide atten-
ton, not only from bicyclists themselves,
but from their vast army of friends, which
includes nearly everybody.
That reaction does result from the
vigorous, often violent exercise In which
bicyclists indulge, there can be no doubt,
but it would seem to rest almost entirely
with the bicyclists themselves, whether
this reaction shall be a healthful one or
otherwise.
If men or women allow their tensihed
muscles to relax too quickly 1t is injurious.
If they permit the pores Of the skin to close
too suddenly, it is certainly injurious, often
fatal.
There can be no doubt that gentle
stimulant, both internally and externally,
meets this requirement better than any
other. A small quantity of pure whisky
taken in little water, and little undl-
luted whisky rubbed externally, will coun-
teract all possible i'll effects. In this day
of authorizations, 1t is gratifying TO know
Malt can be obtained so readily ana at
such reasonable price, and the NUMBER
of bicyclists which the writer mas known
who are using it successfully, lnolcates
that they have found it of unquestonapie
value.

J. w. Todd, the old war horse Of the
Second Ward, told Of his connections
with the party from it's earliest incep-
ton to the present day, and when he
mentioned the fact of his own candi-
dacy for Supervisor he was heartily
cheered.
Scott F. Ennis, candidate for the AS
sembly, followed and made a marked
impression on his auditors.
A wellknown Democrat named Kear-
ney made a rousing speech in support
Of A. P. Catlin for Superior Judge and
cheers were given for the able jurist.

AT ROSEVILLE.
Colonel J.. II. Roberts Addresses the
Republicans.

The Republicans Of Roseville and
vicinity held an enthusiastic meeting
last evening, which was addressed by
Colonel John H. Roberts of San Fran
cisco. There was an anvil salute and
a drum corps to assist in awaking the
echoes OF the plains.
Colonel Roberts speech was a clear
and concise exposition of the principles
for which the Republican party is con-
tending, showing the difference between
the condition of the country under the
workings of the Mckinley Act and un-
der the present Wilson Tariff Act.
He declared that the silver industry
did not produce one-fourth OF the
wealth produced by the hens Of the
country, and they are not cackling for
the free coinage Of eggs. The election
of Mckinley, he said, means protection
and prosperity
