FORESTS ON BERNAL HEIGHTS

The thousands who visited Golden Gate
Park yesterday were made aware of the
fact that there had been an increase in the
family of animals that are kept within
the Enclosures, and all who heard of it
crowded around the fence of the deer glen
to obtain view of the baby elk that first
saw the light of day last Friday. The
little fellow was quite risky for one so
young, and when crowd after crowd had
viewed the new arrival they turned to

"This will be the third annual fruit fair,
and we fully expect an attend ance of over

that the merchants have raised $4,000 to pro-
mote the enterprise this fall. The rail-
roads-the Northern, the Great Northern
and the Union Pacihc-have given q cent
annie rate from all points in Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Montana to the fair.
Now that is an unusually low rate, and the
result will be that the people from 300 to 500
miles from Spokane will come TO the fair
with their families.
"Last year the paid admissions to the
fruit fair were $1,000, and it was estimated
that $250,000 in outside money entered
business channels in the city as result.
"In connection with this years fruit dis
play from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana, for which $500 in cash prizes
will be awarded, there is to be an exhibit
of ores from all the mining sections of the
Northwest. 1t will be one of the largest if
not the most complete collection of ores
ever seen in America, for there is an enor-
nous mining country tributary to Spo-
kane-which is a center for all that great
British Columbia mining region-the Slo-
can district and the Trail Greek country.
Spokane is growing faster than people
know. In the last year its population has
increased 5000, and there are now close
onto 40 900 people there. Montana mining
men predict that it will be second Den
yer inside of five years. Besides the mines
that are proving such benefit to business
in Spokane, there is big farming country,
and right at the town there is water
power that rivals that at Minneapolis.
"Flourmills now turn out 1900 barrels
day, and another mill is being built to
turn out 1000 barrels day. 1t is bound
to be a milling center. We are getting

STABBED AND ROBBED,
A. G. Johnson Found Dying in
the Brush-Claims He Was
Waylaid.
The Police and a Receiving Hospital
Doctor Say He Attempted
Suicide.

A. G. Johnson, carpenter with a wife
and six children residing at 40 Fell street,
was found in dying condition in the
brush near the Masonic Cemetery at
o'clock yesterday afternoon by young
man.
When questioned as to the cause of his
injuries he stated that he had left his
home in the morning at o'clock with the
intention of visiting friend named John
McCready, who resides at 2616 McAllister
street. Taking the Hayes-street car for
that purpose he got off at Lott street to
make short cut through the brush and
there met two masked men, who attacked
him.
One held him while the other cut him
severely in both his wrists and stabbed
him several times in the region of the
heart and then robbed him of $46 80 and
some valuable papers, and left him, as
they thought, dead.
The young man who found Johnson re-
ported the case to the police, and the
patrol wagon was sent out and brought
him to the Receiving Hospital, where he
repeated the same story as that told his
rescuers, adding that he became uncon-
scious after being injured and when he
came to he was too weak to leave the
place.
DR.. Rhine made an examination of his
injuries and pronounced them self-in-
flicted.
Detective Fitzgerald was detailed on the
case and, after making his investigation,
corroborated the opinion OF DR.. Rhine
that it was case of attempted suicide.
But Johnson sticks to his version of the
assault and robbery.

AN ATTEMPT TO SHIFT POLITE
CAL SINS.

We venture to predict that however
much the delegates to the national Demo-
cratic convention may wrangle, quarrel
and fight over the money plank in the
| platform, that the members of that con-
vention will utterly fail to measure up
to the magnificent audacity of the dele
gates to the Republican convention.
Every sin that the Republican convention
charged up to the Democracy has been Il
pet sin of the Republican party and in
attempting to shift these sins from their
own shoulders to those of the Democratic
party. while their audacity may be adj
mred, they will fail to deceive an intel
ligent people The very men who in that
convention charged the condition of the
country to the credit of the Cleveland
administration, in less than month will
be found making speeches in which they
will attribute the condition of the coun
try to the loss of confidence produced by
the agitation of the silver coinage ques-
ton. That is, they will do so if they fol-
low out lines of argument heretofore
made by them on that subject.
They know that this administration has
had nothing to do in bringing about the
general depression in business. Mr..
Clevelands hands have also been tied by
the Republicans in congress making it i'm
possible for him to relieve the country of
the business depression. While these
second-class Republican leaders such as
Foraker have attacked Mr.. Cleveland's
administration on this ground, their first
class politicians such as Senator Sher-
man have openly admitted that Mr.. Cleye-
land has saved the credit of the govern
ment and the honor of the country.
1t was Republican legislation that made
it necessary to issue bonds to protect the
gold reserve ordered by them. 1t was Re-
publican legislation that formed the
"endless chain" that rObs that reserve
fund, and when Mr.. Cleveland appealed
to Republican congress to break this
chain by retiring and cancelling green
backs and treasury notes, they refused
to do so and now charge their own sins
of omission and commission on the Demo-
cratic party.
