IN CONTEMPT.
Henry McClane Sent to Jail for Not
Paying AlimOny.

After having been directed on the
27th Of last month, to pay SO per
month alimony to his wife, pending her
suit for divorce, and failing to do so,
Henry McClane was later on admon-
ished by Judge Hughes that he must
obey the order of the court or he would
be punished.
But McClane did not dig up" and
several days ago he was cited to ap-
pear in court and show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt.
The matter was heard and taken under
advisement till yesterday, when Judge
Hughes adjudged the recalcitrant Hen
ry guilty of contempt and sent him to
jail, there to remain until he makes
some effort-or shows a disposition to
do soto pay the S25 a month to his
wife, who is penniless.
There was testimony to the effect
that McClane had been having a good
time about town, that he attended
balls, and even had money to burn up
on the Carson prize fight. Under these
circumstances the court concluded that
his failure to pay something toward
his wife's support was due to his deter
mination not to pay it, rather than to
his inability to do so.

DOWN ON new JOURNALISM.
The Examiner" Tabooed by the Capital
City Wheelmen.
Preparations Under Way for the
Coming Trophy Relay
Race.

The Capital City Wheelmen had
large and enthusiastic meeting last
night, the club rooms were crowded and
members of the club were coming and
going until nearly IL o'clock.
A large number of new members were
proposed, and still others elected. The
Executive Committee held a session in
one of the rooms and proceeded to dis
cipline one of the club members for
ungentlemanly conduct in defying the
authority of the House Committee. The
sentence was suspension for sixty days
and requirement that an apology be
made to the House Committee within
ten days or suffer expulsion. This is the
first case that has arisen in the club in
all the years of it's existence where 1t
was believed to be necessary to admin
lister harsh punishment. The case ex-
cited a great deal of interest among the
members, and it's decision it is believed
will be salutary
topic of special interest last night
was the preparation for the great road
race between Stockton and Sacramento
and return, the Capital City team
against teams of three Stockton clubs,
for the silver trophy now held by the
Sacramento club. The event takes
place in April and every evening the
Capital City's speedy men are out at Ag-
ricultural Park trying out" under di-
rection of Captain Roundey to ascer-
tain who shall compose the trophy team.
The members last evening were much
interested also in the fact that the Gov
ernor has signed the Folsom road bill

lively ones all the evening in the club
rooms.
The members of the club are much
exercised over the action taken by the
San Francisco Examiner" in using its
influence with the Governor to secure
veto Of the good roads bills passed by
the late Legislature, and now in his
hands.
At meeting held last night the mat
ter eliminated in a resolution which was
adopted by vote of y to Z, as follows:
Resolved, That the San Franisco
| Examiner having opposed the appro-
val of the several good roads bills passed
by the late Legislature and supported
and worked for by all the cycling inter-
ests of the State and this club in par
ticular, and having shown no good and
sufficient reasons for antagOniZing these
measures, which are for the highest and
best interests of the people and the
good of the State, that the said San
Francisco Examiner be and the same
is hereby discontinued in these club
rooms, since it is inconsistent for this
club to pay any money, no matter how
small the amount, to support the op-
ponent of said measures;
Resolved, That the San Francisco
Examiner be discontinued because it
is not fit and proper journal in its gen.
eral character for any respectable read
ing-room; this club approving similar
action taken by social, literary and other
clubs and libraries and reading rooms
in many parts of the United States,
concerning the Examiner the New
York Journal and the New York
World;
Resolved, That we respectfully ad-
wise other cycling clubs, in the interest
of unity and common purpose, to take
action similar to this

HOW TO DETECT IT.
Some Valuable Hints Regarding the
Grfppe-Sfgns of It's Approach and
How to Counteract Them.

How to COuntoract Them.
The discussion as to the cause of the
grippe is, of course, interesting but gives
little satisfaction to its unfortunate vic
Tins. Whether caused by microbe or
vagaries of the weather, its ravages con-
tinue, and the country still bends under
the scourge.
1t cannot be too strongly impressed on
people that, in order to ward off the dis
ease, warning symptoms must be regarded
and prompt action taken. 1t becomes ex-
tremely difficult to dislodge the disease if
allowed to take its course. Hence it's name.
1t generally commences with a slight
headache or pains in the small of the back
or limbs. 1t does not always give one
even plain a hint as that-a feeling of
tightneSs across the forehead, buZZing i'll
the ears, or peculiar feeling about the
eyes, may be all the caution one gets, so
it is culpable carelessness to neglect even
these slight signs.
The remedy lies in a stimulant and the
preference should be given to whisky All
the doctors of the country are agreed on
this point, but are very careful to impress
on their patients the fact that pure whisky
alone must be taken. Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky is the pureSt on the market. and
can be readily obtained at all drug stores.
There are many imitators who say their
whiskies are Just as good Do not be
deceived. They are not. Duffys Pure
Malt is the only medicinal one.
