Salwachter. 50 years old, who claimed to

For the past three years he mad been

which has been one of continued mis.or-
tu ne since he left the fatherland because
OF love affair. He claimed that he had
bee compelled 10 leave Germany and
thereby sacrificed his share OF Lis wealthy
relatives estates.
1t was understood on the ranch that of
late the man mas been much distressed
over the settlement of somp German prop
erty interests, and had in consequence re-
sorted 20 excessive drinking.
His hibulous habits finally caused his
end, for yesterday the foreman OF the

dead unon his bed, the open book beside

WINTERS, CAL, Oct. 16.-A fire broke
out this morning about o'clock in

The Masonic, knights OF Pythias, Work
men, Foresters. Wood men, Rebekah and
Naive Sons lodges all lost their books,
jewels and paraphernalia. with no insur-
ance, except the Native Sons, $3.50.
The spread of the fire was stopped by
Morrison e. Wilson'S brick building and
had it passed that nothing could have
saved a business house in town, as they
are very com pact!y built and the water
system is ined' quate and fire apparatus
almost nothing. Many roofs caught fire
but were extinguished with buckets.
Flying sparks caught in the steeple OF
the Methodist church, two blocks away,
and il seemed to be doomed, as the iire
was about sixty feet high, with no ladders
to reach il. A brave fellow knocked off
shingles and elm bed up the steeple until
he could throw water on the fire, and
finally extir guished it at the imminent
risk of his life.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
is supposed to be incendiary or from a
tramp sleeping in the barn, as there had
been no fire in the building during the
dav before.

Mahoney to-day won the fight of his life.
Alter twenty,one trips TO Folsom he
finally succeeded in securing from the
Board of Prison Directors unanimous
recommendation to the Governor for a
Communication OF the sentence of Lewis
Sternberg.
In speaking to The CALL correspondent
the Senator said: "Of course l am much
pleased and gratified over the action of
the board in finally making the recon-
mendation it did. At the same time l do
not care to speak at length on the matter; !;
it was simply an honest endeavor to be-
friend man who merited my friendship.
The report of the board showed that Stern
berg bore a good name prior to his con-
viction; he has been an exemplary pris-
oner, and has wholly repented his mis-
step. He has a father and mother de-
pending upon him for support, and 1 am
sure he will from now on make a good
citizen"
The Board of Prison Directors met this

which the board adjourned. An unofficial
discrssion followed. the adjournment Of

will no doubt request a discontinuancc of
the plan. Ii they should, why we will
of course cease marking our goods with

President Fitzgerald, in speaking of the
matter. said: at is very strange that the
Manufacturers and Producers should find
so much fault with our proposal to leave
the mark off, when, as matter of fact,
we are the only prison in the United
States which has adopted mark OF iden-
iification for our vict-made article,
and our State provides the most prolific
market for the sale OF prison goods made

The Peoples Party Handbook.

The peoples party state central
committee has issued a hand book
from which we take the following:
"A great deal has been said since
the adjournment Of the last legisla-
ture as to what benefit, il any, the
last legislature was to the people Of
this state. One good law which was
placed upon the statute books is
known as the stock,yards law This
law greatly reduced the yardage and
feeding charges for stock shipped to
Kansas City stock yards. In 1896,
siockmen in Kansas shipped to these
yards: Cattle, 1868, 430; calves, 33,193;
hogs, 1,625,S49; sheep, 294,997. Up.
on this amount of stock there is saved
to the people of Kansas the sum Of
$123, 473 80, and on the item OF feed
the sum of $50, 443.9O, making the
whole saving on the same shipments
$l79,96760. This law alone will re-
pay the the people Of Kansas for the
expense of the last session Of the
Legislature, it nothing else had been
done or attempted.
In addition to the figures already
given, which shows saving of more
than $500 day to the people Of Kan
sas, there is another item that is not
shown in the above which is Just as
much saving to Kansas people and
Kansas stock shippers as the above.
The cattle that come ia on what is
known as the feed-ln-transit rate, cat.
tie from western states and territories,
to be shipped to Kansas from those
sections and unlosded and grazed or
for period not exceeding one year,
when ready for market to be simply
loaded again and sent to the Kansas
City market and credited to the states
or territories from which they origin
ally started, depriviDg Kansas of the
credit OF large number OF cattle to
which she is clearly entitled. II is
almost impossible to arrive at the ex-
act number of cattle thus shipped,
but close approximation would
place the number at 100000. On
these shipments about $43, 750 should
be added to the above saving of $179, !
1880. This would show a total
saving Of $222,917 60, or a saving to
the people of Kansas by reason Of the
passage of this law Of more than 5000 |
a day. All these figures are taken
from Judge Fosters findings, except
those in relation to feed in transit,
and much higher figures could have
safely been given. 1t would be safe
to say that, IN round numbers, by the
passage of this bill alene, $250,OO
will be saved to the people Of Kansas
annually"
"Slnce the above was written, Judge
Foster Of the federal court sustains
the law"
In conclusion the book says:
SThe present state officers are now
ten months in Office, aud they have
the states credit rise from
the lowest ebb to the highest tide of
reputation ever recorded in the states
history.
They have throttled the school
book trust by passing a uniform text
