Most of the ranchers are taking a
rest, preparatory to cutting their
third crop of hay.
Charlie Jones and family are

Mrs. F. E. Reed recently had a
good offer from a responsible party,
for her ranch. The party offered
two-thirds cash, but while the price
was satisfactory, as she wanted all
cash, the trade fell through.
We have frequently been among
those of late, who, but nine short
months ago told us: Give us free
silver and wheat will go TO dol

to a dollar and silver so cents, we
never hear word about gold bugs
and the oppressors of the farmer.
Two of our oldest citizens are on
the sick list. r. c.. Connor. who is
in his 62nd year, is suffering from
general debility. He was a placer
miner for several years and that is

a man old before his time. D. E. !
Smith is afflicted much as is Mr..
Connor, and from the same cause.
He is SO years of age.

The supreme court, last week,
handed down a decision denying
the petition for a rehearing in the
fee bill case. The former opinion
is affirmed in every particular.
The opinion is by Justice Huston
and is voluminous, containing 5000
words. The attorney general is
criticised severely. Chief Justice
Sullivan files a voluminous opinion
dissenting from the main opinion
on two points. He holds the gen.
eral opinion should be modified on
these two points or new hearing
granted. The original opinion
held that journals of the legisla-
ture must show affirmatively, that
every requirement of the constitu-
ton has been complied with. Also
that amendments must be treated
as bills and read on three several
days. This opposition is affirmed,
but Chief Justice Sullivan dissents. |
Justice Quarrels files an opinion
in which he concurs with Justice
Huston. devoting himself to a long
reply to the dissenting deliverance
by Sullivan.

WOMAN AND HOME.
MoDJEskA's HOME.
A Quaint and Beautiful Place, Not
 Far from Los Angeles.

q Quaint and Beautiful Place, NOt
 Far from Los Angeles.
 Connoisseurs in art and lovers of nature, some years ago she and her husband came by chance upon Q wild und beautiful spot in the mountains of the coast range, about 50 miles south east of Los Angeles, which took such hold upon their fancy that they were never satisfied until they had estab- lished their resting headquarters there. And, indeed, one could scarcely imag- inc more ideal retreat than this.
 Far away from the hurry and hustle, up in u canyon where are purling streams, and holding ferns, and spread ing live-oaks, nestled within Q cres- cent of the mountains, is the unpreten- ticus white frame villa-"Arden" they have called this mountain home, in honor of Shnkespeare's Forest of Ar den." Here Modjeska comes each sum- mer to spend as much time as her busy life will permit. The drive from the fertile Santa Ana valley leads through the Santiago canyon. one of the most beautiful spots in southern California, and is charming beyond description. So gradual is the ascent, that one passes from an elevation of 500 feet above the sea level to 2,s0o feet, scarcely realizing that one has been climbing. The road winds through groves of immense live oak. sycamore trees. whose branches are festooned with wild grapevine, woodbine and other creepers, and crosses again and again a beautiful Irountain stream. Here and there stand out great punches of the tall white California peoples, and in their season the stately yuccas. crowned with their great white panicles, the feathery elder. the white clematis and large beds of cactus. brilliant with their beautiful yellow and crimson blossoms and ripe "tunas." The crested road runners scamper ahead of the horses; the doves call across the canyon. and hocks of startled quail whirr from coverts by the roadside.
 At last we find ourselves at the en- trance to the Modjeska canyon. which widens into a magnificent natural park. By buying up different "claims" from cid mountaineers, they have now about 2.000 acres of land. The til!nble part has been set to orchards of oranges. walnuts. olives and deciduous fruits. and considerable vineyard. The mountain sides afford abundant graz ing for the fiocks and herds.

The letter quoted below, written March 8, 1898, by the editor and manager of the Sheffield, Ala, Standard, leaves no room to doubt that successful treatment for the cure of the liquor habit exists:
 "Dr. B. NJ. .Woolley, Atlanta. Ga.: Your antidote for the liquor habit will do all you claim for it. After drinking whisky for more than twenty years find myself en- tirely relieved of the accursed appetite through the use of three bottles of your medicine. It is absolutely a specific for the liquor habit, and leaves no bad effects.
 "E. NJ. RAGLAND."
 Shinnston, w. Va.,-Dr. B. M. Wool ley, Atlanta, Ga.: I have been cured, or quit taking the antidote nineteen months, and never had any call for opium after taking the first dose of your Antidote. You wanted to know if you might use my let. ter. Yes, and my name, also. Any one may write to me if they wish to know of my cure or ask ary questions as to the efficacy of the Antidote, and if they en- close stamp will answer.

A TENACIOUS HABIT.
How to Stop Children from Sucking
 Fingers and Thumbs.

How to Stop Children from Sucking
 Fingers ana Thumbs.
 The habit of sucking the thumb among children is one probably of very ancient origin. It may have descend cd from our simian ancestors, although no observations bearing upon this point so far seem to have been made. Am other explanation of the habit may be that the pressure of the thumb in the child's mouth causes some relief dur ing the period of dentition, and thus helps to allay the irritation present in the gums. But whatever the canse nay be, the habit is uhdsuiably a bad one, and when persistently aHd cXteG- sively pracliced calls for correction. Many devices, of course, have from time 10 time been introduced with this end in view. Some have proved suc- cessful; on the other hand. occasion. ally all have ended in failure. A med. ical man relates in the Boston Medical end Surgical Journal how difficulty of this nature was successfully sur mounted in the following way: For two years every available plan for stop ping the habit had been tried on little girl of five years of age, but without any satisfactory result. Accordingly the practitioner proceeded to immob- ilize the elbows of the child at very obtuse angle. A silicate of potash ban dage was applied to each arm, reaching nearly from the shoulder to the wrist. After these had hardened they were split at the sides and removed. They were then covered and lined with fan. nel. These two long tubular band. ages could then, like gauntIets, be pulled on and off as the parents wished. This method proved perfectly success ful. In two weeks time the child was cured of the habit.--N. Y. Journal.
