ONE YEAR AT FOLSOM.
Judge Hart Sentenced HI. r. Will
kinson Yesterday.

Yesterday morning H. r. Wilkinson,
the young man who pleaded guilty Of
embezzlement from Beesley & Son, was
sentenced to one years Imprisonment
by Judge Hart.
Wilkinson is only % years of age and
it was with evident regret thai the
court performed the painful duty of
sentencing him for his crime.
Judge Hart said that he was con-
vinced that Wilkinson was not Of the
criminal class, but he had pleaded
guilty of a felony and must be pun
ished. He would however impose a
light sentence and hoped that Warden
Aull would give him work that would
not compel him to associate with hard
ened criminals. He trusted that while
Wilkinson was serving out his sentence
be would reflect on what he had done
and determine that when he came out
again he would lead a life that would
make him, in time, an honored man.
He then sentenced the prisoner to one
years Imprisonment at Folsom. Tears
dropped from Wilkinson's eyes while
the Judge was speaking, but he sat
motionless. He was taken 10 Folsom
yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Hunters.

A GOOD PRACTICE.

After each meal dissolve one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in the
mouth and, mingling with the food
they constitute a perfect digestive, alb
solutely safe for the most sensitive
stomach.
They digest the food before it has
time to ferment, thus preventing the
formation of gas and keeping the blood
pure and free from the poisonous prod
ucts Of fermented, half-digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.
They increase flesh by digest ting flesh

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure
of stomach trouble and nothing else.

A whole package taken at one time

A VERY ATTRACTIVE Scene.
CHURCH FAIR AND LADIES
FAIR LAST NIGHT.
Handsome Booths With Attractive
Attendants and Beautiful Things
at the Congregational Church.

An attractice scene was that present
ed last night in the basement OF the
Congregational Church, the occasion
being the fair given by the ladies OF
the church.
An immense amount Of work had
been done by the committee, of which
Mrs j. G. Storch was Chairman, and
they had made the rooms bower OF
beauty by their decorative taste, where
in are scattered a number of beautiful
booths containing a great variety OF
articles and presided over by young
ladies who were not the least attractive
part of the picture. The room was
filled, too, with a lively crowd, who
did their utmost to make the fair sue
cess, both in mirth and jollity and
financially The booths were we'll pa
tronized and it was hard to tell which
was most popular, the candy and other
booths in the large room, the Japanese
booth or the colonial tea room.
Each booth had its own peculiar at
traction, commencing with the Christ
ian Endeavor souvenir booth, presided
over by Miss Mabel I. Nichols, which
was very tastefully and attractively ar
ranged.
The doll booth was another pretty one
and was presided over by Miss Emily
Thompson, Mrs. Presley Johnson and
Mrs. B. f. Crocker
The violet booth was presided over
by Miss Fanny Connolly.
Miss Rebe Nourse and Mrs. G. B.
Carr dispensed sweets of the sweetest
kind at the candy booth, which was
very popular.
Then there was a miscellaneous booth
presided over by Mrs. D. D. Whitbeck
and Mrs. Matt f. Johnson, and which
was filed with all sorts Of articles
while the fancy booth was very pref
ty one and presided over by Mrs. B. f.
Howard and Mrs. Sparrow Smith, who
were assisted in making it attractive by
a cage of white rabbits.

CRUELTY TO A HORSE.
A Sacramentan Is Liable to Have
to Answer for It.

On Monday last two youths from Sac
ramento took dying horse to the Yolo
side, with the avowed intention OF taxi
ing it to pasture. Constable Pussell
followed the boys for some distance,
but after he left them the father of one
boy passed through town in a buggy,
took the horse some distance beyond
Washington and turned it loose in an
open field, where it died two days later.
This man, Constable Russell states,
did not even inquire for pasturage- The
horse fell down in a ditch and kicked
and wall0wed along for a distance Of
thirty or forty feet, unable to get upon
its feet. Some passers-by attempted 10
help it, but it was too far gone, and
died.
The rapchers up the river have dom
ned their war paint, and Constable
Russell declares that if the man who
turned the horse out does not have it
properly buried to-day, he will be ar
rested and prosecuted. Such A ~,iece
Of cruelty he says, shall not be allowed
to go unpunished.
Yolo, Constable Russell says, has
enough to do to take care of it's own
dead horses, and does not propose to
be a boneyard for Sacramento in order
to save some man five dollars. That
sort Of thing, he says, has gone far

Children's Day Home are preparing a

The past year has been a more sue
cessful one than those preceding, and
the kind women who are carrying out
the work of providing for the children
while their mothers work have felt
much encouraged. but several of the
largest subscriptions have recently been
withdrawn and their need is severely
felt Just now, as their expenses are in
creased at this season. They viii,
therefore, thankfully receive donations,
especially of wood and coal, to help
them out They would also be glad to
receive a secondhand cook stove from
any che who has one to spare. The
Ladies' Needlework Guild recently gave
them eighty garments of various kinds
that have been of very material aid
to them in their work. 1t is a laud-
able object and those who aid It will

knitting quilts, which. at the end Of the

the use OF the wounded.
One Of these, made entirely by Her
Majesty and bearing an elaborate v.
r. in the center. was the covering par
excellence of the institution, and In
universal demand for a time.
In assessing the claims Of the candi-
dates for the honor Of sleeping under
1t, the medical stan naturally gave the
precedence to the most severely wound
ed, and the one most likely to die.
Very soon, alas! an evil omen attached
itself to the distinction, the climax of
which was reached one night, when q

ing his bedclothes. woke up with the
preparation pouring down his face,
