Big Millinery Saving.

The Red House Company had before
they went into the receivers hands or
dered large invoices of millinery from
the East. The goods are now arriving.
We have received some 20 cases of
hats, ribbons ostrich tips, plumes, etc,
and among the latest styles in hats are
the Montana, Cuba, Dawson, Nevada
and other styles of walking hats (cow
boy)-all fancy bands and brims; also
a large variety in silk bands-they come
in all the late colors, including the new
shades of green and blue, also the new
turbans in French fur, Arcadia, Thiebe
and the Marlowe. Also in wide brim
dress hats in fur-the Boulevard and
Beldemere. These fine hats we propose
to give the ladies a big bargain, and
Will be placed on sale at and below cost,
which means a saving (made) of from
20 to 30 per cent. on each 81 purchas-
ed, and you should take it into con-
sideration that if other stores come
near our prices you should give us the
benefit, as we will be the cause of their
lowering their prices. Watch and see
If we are right. J. w. Lindner, pro-
prietor of the assignee's stock of the

ONE SOLD BY TELEPHONE.
THE KOHLER g. CHASE PIANO
SALE IS CAUSING A STIR.
People Are Not Blind to Their Own
Interests-A Case of Now OF
Never.

Although quite a number of instru-
| ments We're sold during the fore part
of this week, it may be said that the
great sale of pianos and organs in
augurated here by Kohler & Chase the
oldest music house on the coast, did
not fairly commence until yesterday,
when no less than a half-doZen instru-
ments were disposed Of
J One, a most beautiful new scale Kim
| ball, in fancy English mottled walnut
case, was secured by a well-known
business man of Routiers, Cal. The
! highest priced instrument in the stock
ordered by telephone by a prominent
business man of Placerville, Cal, whose
check in payment of same is now in the
mails for this city.
| One of the finest Fischer uprightS, in
a fancy quarter-sawed oak case, goes
| to a welI-known locomotive engineer
| here in Sacramento, while still another
piano, also a Kimball, the medium size,
in beautiful quarter-sawed oak case,
was selected late last night by one of
/ the best known machinists of the
| Southern Pacific shops, while one of our
most popular school teachers receives
a fancy mottled walnut case cabinet
grand upright, most elegantly hand
carved, and most artistically finished.
One of the highest priced organs, in
fancy walnut case, will brighten the
home of well-known farmer just
south of this city.
People are beginning to realize the
fact that the sale now going on at 721
K street is the one opportunity Of a
lifetime to get a piano without paying
the usual intervening profits that must
accrue on an article of this kind from
the time it leaves the factory until it
is placed in the home. They realize
that the difference between the retail
price of a piano and the actual whole
sale cost of same is considerable, and
this entire difference is saved now to
every customer who deals there.
But remember this can only be done
for few days longer To-day is the
time to look into this matter-next
week it may be too late.
There are among the 10000 people
living in Sacramento and vicinity no
less than 500 families who are amply
able to own piano, and who have
none. They are putting off investigat-
ing this sale either through careless
ness, or do not stop to realize what
they are missing.
You know why we are compelled to
sell these instruments here at cut
prices. This we have fully explained in
our previous announcements. If you
cannot afford a piano at our terms-at
the price it costs US to get them, and on
terms of payment little more than rent;
say two bits a day-you never will and
never can own one at retail prices. But
if you ever expect to own piano, tuck
away enough money in your vest pocket
for a first payment, and come at once
to the Kohler & Chase Music House,
III K street, above the Postoffice, and
you will find that never in your life
have you made a hundred or $3.50, and
even $500, easier than by getting your
piano now.

ADJUSTMENTS.

We do not recall having seen a more
versatile low comedy and general dra-
matte troupe than the EllefOrd combl-
natl On, now at the Metropolitan Thea
ter. 1t appears to be~equipped for any
thing in the comedy line that a play
wright ever prepared for the stage.
Last night to a large audience it played
the rafting, extravagant, ridiculous
and boisterous Corner Grocery" There
was the stage mischievous boy; the
Dutch grocer, innocent and a victim;
the stage policeman, stupid and a dupe
of practical jokes; the stage Irishman,
with his witty blunders, and half a
dozen other grotesque characters, and
each just about up to the ideal of such
characters in such a play. The whole
troupe sang also, and with entire sue
cess so far as comedy melody was con-
cerned. The audience was kept "con-
vulsed with laughter" if such a thing
could be. Tonight the romantic drama
THE Runaway Wife" Tomorrow af-
ternOon at o'clock a 'fHumpty Dump
ty' matinee, with reduced prices-that
is the two minimum grades will prevail
all over the house. Tomorrow night
the yachting melodrama ''The Stowa-
way and Sunday night the troupe
gives its farewell performance-bill not
yet selected.

SUGAR BEET MISSIONARIES.
THEY WILL LABOR AMONG THE
FARMERS.
An Offer That Should be Snapped
Up Inside of Two or
Three Days.

In addition to the regular commit
merce several days ago, several gentle
men have volunteered their services to
assist in calling on farmers and en-
deavoring to secure from them pledges
to plant a certain number of acres of
sugar beets, in order that the factory
promised by Oxnard, the sugar manu-
facturer, may be secured for this
county.
AS readers of the Record Union"
are aware, Mr.. Oxnard has promised to
erect a factory of 1000 tons per day
capacity, provided the farmers will
guarantee to plant 10000 acres Of beets,
enough to keep the factory in operation
during the season.
c. w. Clark, T. B. Hall, T. w Shee-
han and Ralph Grossi will go to-mOr-
row to Grand Island on this mission.
which is almost entirely for the benefit
of the farmers. Henry Elliott and D.
A. Lindley will go to Sutter Island, and
G.. H. Colby in Merritt Island.
Edwin F. Smith and Frank Miller will
labor with the farmers along the
American River, and Louis F. Breu-
ner and County Assessor T. II. Berkey
will call on those living between here
and Walnut Grove, on the east side of
the Sacramento River. Their territory
embraces the Pearson District of many
thousand acres of the most fertile soil
in the State.
Fruit growers complain that they
can make no profit on fruit; hop-grow-
ers have been disheartened for many
years, and everybody knows that up
to this season wheat growing had been
a losing industry for long time.
These facts should make tillers of the
soil only too ready to jump at chance
to engage in a new industry that prom
ises to return from SO to $40 per acre
profit every year. Millions of dollars
worth of sugar is imported yearly into
this country in addition to that manu-
factured here, hence there is practical
ly no limit to the demand and no dan
ger of over production.
1t would seem that the 10000 acres
guaranty required by Mr.. Oxnard
should be subscribed within three days
in short, that farmers should be fall
ing over one another in their efforts to
reach the Captains office. 1t should
not be necessary to do any missionary
work among them, but the Chamber of
Commerce, which has in view the inter-
ests of this entire section of the State,
does not wish to take any chances, and
has decided to make a lively canvass.
Two weeks is the time mentioned in
which the landowners must deter
mine whether or not they will accept
| the offer made, and there should not be
the least doubt as to the result.
Yesterday Cox & Clark subscribed 500
acres north of the American River. and
it is believed that other landowners
Will rapidly fall into line.

A PLEASANT OCCASION.
Reception to Rev. A. B. Banks of
the First Baptist Church.

Last night was a pleasant one at
the First Baptist Church, the occasion
being a reception to Rev. A B. Banks
and his wife on the third anniversary
of his taking charge of the pastorate
of the church.
If any stranger had entertained any
doubts as to whether the minister had
crept into the hearts of his congrega-
ton, old and young, they would have
been dispelled by the sight of the nu-
merous radiant faces that were assem-
bled in the annex of the auditorium to
do him honor. Three long tables had
been prepared by the ladies of the
congregation, and they were filled with
members of the congregation and the
Pastors Union, who discussed the
tempting viandS collected upon them
After a season of feasting, DR.. Mea-
land, who acted as POSTMASTER, arose
and gave an historical sketch of the
progress of the church during the three
years of DR.. Banks pastorate AT
the time he took charge the member
ship was 150 Since that time 251 have
been added to the membership, and
over $4,000 has been raised for various
purposes, and the church is flourishing
Addresses were made by Rev. Sher-
man of the Fourteenth-stree Presby-
terian Church, Rev. Mitchell of Calvary
Baptist Church, Mrs. Sinnett, Presi-
dent of the Ladies' Aid Society; Sun
day-school Superintendent Frank Null
ler, Vice-President John Fechter, Jr.,
of the Baptist Young Peoples Union,
and G.. j. Davis, one of the General
Managers of the union; Secretary Grove
Il. Ekins of the Y. NJ. c. A, Rev. II. N.
Hoyt of the Congregational Church,
Rev. Drake of the First Presbyterian
Church, Rev. A. c. Herrick of Oak
Park, Rev Chenowith of the Central
Methodist and Rev. John Fechter,
while Dr. Banks was called on at the
last and made a feeling response. The
occasion will long be remembered by
those present with pleasure.

the cause of the whole trouble, and in
the same breath that whisky was to

Grafton, she spat at the aforesaid
daughter, who ocucpied a seat in the
courtroom.
Justice Davis announced that he
would pass sentence on her to-day, but
the old woman was in no mood for any
exhibition of tenderness, and demanded
to know then and there what her fate
was to be.
Justice Davis was agreeable and told
her she might go TO the County Jail
for seventy days. She went.

them for the delivery of 100000 pounds
Of hops.
1t is said that the Roddans had made
some arrangement with Horst Bros.
for the sale of the hops to the latter,
and that the Horsts harvested the
crop and sought to transfer the hops
to Mebius & Drescher, but that the
latter decline to deal with them.
There is also involved in the trans
action a mortgage on the Roddans'
land and another on the crop, held by
Mebius & Drescher. It is also reported
that the Roddans have sold their HOP
ranch to Horst Bros. for a large sum
Of money.

BLANKETS SAVED HIM.
A Tramp Knocked Of a Railroad
Track Yesterday.

A tramp had a close call for his
life at Thirteenth and r streets yes
terday. AS it was, he was pretty well
shaken up but not injured to speak of.
The man sat down on the end of a
projecting railroad tie on the R-street
track, and it is supposed he was about
half asleep when freight train came
along and struck him. He had roll
of blankets slung over his back, and
this served as a bumper to break the
force of the blow.
A projecting portion of the locomo-
tive struck the blanket roll with such
force that the man was knocked from
his perch and sent rolling down the
grade to the bottom. He was seen to
get up and walk away after casting
reproachful glance at the vanishing
train.

THE SLOUGH MYSTERY.
The Body of the Unknown Drowned
Man Not Yet Recovered.

On Wednesday there was some talk
of Jack Grady, a railroad mechanic,
being missing, and it was thought that
possibly it was he who fell from the
Third street bridge the other night into
China Slough.
That evening, however, Police Ser
geant Plunkett telephoned the Rec
ord Union" that Mr.. Grady was then
at his home.
The body of the unknown man has
not yet been recovered, and in a few
days it viii probably rise to the sur
face-that is, all that the fishes had
