sparrows and Bicycles.

A curious thing about the English spar.
row has often been noticed by wheelmen.
When the cyclists first took to the streets d
few years ago, the birds used to hop up in
tho air and skip away before the wheel
was within 10 feet of them. The rapidity
of tho motion seemed to startle them out
of their wits. But now, even with tho In
creased speed of pneumatic tires and high
gears, the birds show little or no fear u
the wheels, waiting till the last moment
before flying. The wheel is often less than
two feet from them before they take to
flight. One sparrow over on Clinton street.
Brooklyn, three days ago hoped to one
side few inches and allowed the wheel to
pass at about 20 inches.-New York Sun.

The commission appointed by
the secretary Of the navy to test a
teredo proof" paint, invented by a
painter, at the Pensacola navy yard
concluded its labors recently. On
March I6, four pieces of solid heart
pine wood were sunk at the navy
yard. One piece was unpainted
and the others had one, two and
three coats of the teredo proof paint,
respectively. Last week the three
members of the commission assem-
bled and had the four pieces of
wood raised. The piece that was
not painted was literally honey
co ombed by the teredo, and fell in
pieces. The other three pieces
were not touched by the insects,
aud were perfectly dry OH the inte-
rior. The commission considers
the invention perfect success, and
one that will be of vast interest to
government and ship-owners.

D. Eddy, of Woodburn, an old
veteran Grand Army man and
pensioner, was for years republic
can in politics, but this year is a
supporter of Bryan through princi-
pie. He recently received a letter
through the postoffice, written in
the regulation red ink, warning
him that if he did not keep his
mouth shut about Bryan he would
lose his pension. Whoever the
poor miserable wretch was that
penned the letter, he made a sad
mistake in his man. Mr.. Eddy
was not at all frightened by the
threat, but gave the letter TO Capt.
D. G. Sherman, of Salem, another
old republican who is supporting
Bryan, and is still talking for the
young silver champion. The Incl
dent has caused considerable ex-
element at Woodburn, and a re-
ward of SIS is offered for any
evidence leading to the disclosure
of the identity of the miscreant who
wrote the letter.

Bryan's Prophecy.

lolueu the CLOSING sentences Ill the
famous speech made by VIM. J..
Bryan in congress in 1898, in the
extra session called to repeal the
Sherman act. In the light OF the
events that have followed the words
seem traught with great wisdom:
well has it been said by the
Senator from Missouri Mr.. Vest]
that we have come to the parting
of the ways. Today the democra-
tic party stands between two great
forces each inviting its support.
On the other side stand the corpor-
ate interests of the nation, its
moneyed institutions, its aggrega-
tions of wealth and capital, i'm
perious, arrogant, compassionless.
They demand special legislation,
favors, privileges, and immunities.
They can subscribe magnifcently
to campaign funds, they can strike
down opposition with their all-per-
vading influence, and to those who
fawn and flatter, bring ease and
plenty. They demand that the
democratic party shall become their
agent to execute their merciless
DEGREES.
"On the other hand stands that
unnumbered throng which gave a
name to the democratic party and
for which it has assumed to speak.
Work-worn and dust-begrimed,
they make their sad appeal. They
hear of average wealth increased OH
every side and feel the inequality
of its distribution. They see an
over-production of everything de-
sired because of the under-produc-
ton Of the ability to buy. They
cannot pay for loyalty except with
their suffrages, and can only punish
betrayal with their condemnation.
Although the ones who most de-
serve the fostering care of govern
ment, their cries for help too often
beat i'll vain against the outer wall,
while others less deserving find
ready access to legislative halls.
This army, vast and daily vaster
growing, begs the party to be its
champion in the present conflict.
1t cannot press its claims mid
sounds of revelry. It's phalanxes
do not form in grand parade, nor
has it gaudy banners floating on
the breeze. Its battle hymn is
Home, Sweet Home" !" its war cry
Equality before the law" To the
democratic party. standing between
these two irreconcilable forces, un-
certain to which side to turn, and
conscious that upon its choice its
fate depends, come the words OF
Israeps second lawgiver: Choose
you this day whom ye will serve. "

This Settles 1t.

We find the following item among
the political pointers in last Mon
days Oregonian:
Coil Van Clevc, the well-known
newspaper man of Lincoln county,
is in Portland. OF Lincoln county
he gives good reports. He says
the sentiment is changing to Nc
Kinley, as the people have time and
opportunity 10 study the question
at issue, and that Lincoln county
will give fine republican major
ity."
Well, that settles it, we suppose.
If Santa Claus Van Cleve says that
the county is to go for Mckinley
we don't suppose that there is any
use TO try to do anything further
for Bryan. Just as we'll call off all
the speakers and save expenses.
We almost wish that Van had not
settled it so soon. though, as the
excitement of the campaign was
really beneficial to some. But we
suppose Van knows best just what
to do. By the way, we defy him
to give the name of one actual voter
in Lincoln county that has changed
from Bryan to Mckinley.

Business Troubles of the Carriage Ftri
of Trennor & Nnrfon

Business Troubles of the Carriage Firm
of 1reanor de Norton.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. IL. = Judge
Reynolds to-day granted Thomas
Treanor a temporary injunction re-
straining J. r. Norton, former part
ner in the carriage business, from
proceeding with suit now pending to en-
force the payment of a claim for $4,000
pending the hearing of motion to dis
miss the suit for lack of grounds.
Treanor 81 Norton were in the car
riage business and were heavily in.
volved, owing $1,000, and to satisfy
such creditors as Baker & Hamil-
ton, Hooker & Co. and L. D. Stone & Co.
an assignment was made to Studebaker
Bros. of all the accounts and bills receiva-
BILE outstanding as security for all the cred
itors.
About this time the firm dissolved
Treanor retiring and Norton assuming ali
liabilities of the firm.
Since then Norton brought suit against
Treanor and the Union Savings Bank to
enforce the payment of a certain claim OF
$4,000. This suit is pending and about to
be tried.
Besides this Treanor says that Norton
threatens to bring other actions, which
Treanor says should be barred by reason
of limitation upon his liability, which
through inadvertence was not included IN
the written agreement, but which was
thoroughly understood verbally.

CHICO MERoHANTs sWINDLED.
Crooked Fork on the Part of Advertise

CHICO, CAL. Feb. 12--The old game
of man and his confidence schemes has
cropped out again in Chico, and a good
many of our prominent business men are
interested; but few will lose more than
the money already advanced.
Last September a man signing himself
j. FL. Hunter arrived in Chico and visited
the business houses in town for the pur-
pose of securing advertising in Pacific
Coast directory. He claimed to be repre-
senting the Merchants Publishing Com
pany of 632 Market street, San Francisco.
He set up the value of card, or "head-
ings, in this directory, and asked 81 so for
publishing the same.
Many were coaxed into the scheme, paid
Hunter 81 so and took his receipt for the
money. But in order to have the name
and business properly printed Hunter
asked each advertiser to write his name
and business on a piece of paper. That
paper had little printing on it and sew
eral blank lines, but this the advertiser
paid little attention to.
Nothing more was heard of the matter
until last Saturday, when new man ap-
peared in Chico, went to these Chico mer-
chants and demanded So from each for
advertising their business in a United
States directory published in New York.
The demand was politely refused, each
man stating that he had not given an or
der to any New York directory. The agent,
who signed his name H. S., then produced
an order bearing the advertisers sigma
ture, agreeing TO advertise to the extent OF
So in the Continental Commercial Register.
That there is a swindle on the part OF
j. III. Hunter or III. S. or the companies
they are supposed to represent is evident.

The Brutal Murderer of the
Webers Has Suffered a Thou.
sand Deaths.
HAUNTED BY THE DAY OF DOOM.
Needless of Surroundings His Thoughts
Dwell on the Fact That He
Must Hang.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 12-As the
day approaches upon which Ivan Kovalev,
the Russian escape from Saghalien Island,
must expiate his crime on the gallows for
the brutal murder of w. H. Weber and
wife in this city, the prisoner shows more
and more his intense fear of stepping over
the boundary into the great unknown.
Ivan Koyaley, the brutal murderer OF
the aged couple, is coward of the worst
description. The man who without COM
junction could rain blow after blow with
an ak on his feeble victims, walk bare
footed in their gore, coolly rife
the residence, remove his torn and
vermin-infested garments, replacing
them with the clothes of the murdered
man, then return to his old-time haunts
in San Francisco and spend the proceeds
in. wild revelry, fears to meet his death
with an intense fear that may yet result in
his cheating the gal1ows.
Several weeks ago Warden Charles Aull
stated that he had never seen man SO
absolutely consumed by fear as was
Kovalev, and he added:
s'I doubt If he will ever live to mount
the gallows. think the man will die of
fear before the time for his execution ar
rives.''
Kovalev occupies cell in the solitary
ward of the prison, but has several COM
panions who are also doomed to a dis
graceful death, yet he pays little heed to
his surroundings and all his thaughts
seem to dwell on the fact that he must die,
and in imagination he has suffered a thou
sand deaths since his removal to Folsom
State Prison.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Feb. 1.-THE
people of the Poso irrigation district are
rejoicing over the completion of the i'm
mense fume which is to supply large
portion of that district with water for
irrigation. The work was finished yester-
day, and to-day the water from Poso Greek
was turned into it.
The fume is nearly two and half miles
long, is four by eight feet inside measure
merit, and for long distance is carried on
trestle-work over seventy feet in height.
1t will conduct water to the higher por-
tions of the district, the lower portions
already having canals in operation.
There are upward of 10000 acres of
arabic land within the boundaries of this
district, and large share of it is adapted
to orange and lemon growing. Already
several orchards are being planted, upon
which the new water supply will be
utilized.
Besides the canals taking water from the
creek an immense storage reservoir is now
nearly completed in which large volume
of water will be preserved for use during
the summer months when the creek may
be dry.
Quite number Of settlers are going into
the district and with the completion of
the entire system a general improvement
of the hitherto unproductiye lands is
looked for.

RED BLUFF SUICIDE.
Josh CHARLTON, In a Crasy Moment, Blotus
His BrGius Out.

His BrGius Out.
CHICO, CAL, Feb. pa report came
from Red Bluff to-day saying that Josh
Charlton had killed himself on the road
near Hooker.
From what could be learned of the
tragedy last night it seems that Charlton,
his brother George and Johnston and
his wife, who is a sister of the Charlton
boys, were moving down from Anderson.
Mrs. Johnston was driving the wagon and
the three men were walking along the
road. Josh carried gun, and all of a
sudden he took a cartridge from his
pocket and put it in the gun. His brother
George saw him do it and started toward
him to get hold of the gun, when Josh
pointed it at him and told him to stand
back. He then placed the muzzle of the
gun at his head and pulling the trigger
blew the top of his head off.
A gentleman living here who knew
Charlton well said that he was an indus.
trious, good-natured young man, but that
at times his mind became unbalanced,
and that for years he had been using
medicines for his trouble. It is sup
posed that he was temporarily insane
when he committed the fatal deed.
