Ten-DOllar Suits.
per garment.

All clothing merchants carry
suits to sell at $40, but there are
$Io suits and $40 suits.
We have no desire to boast, but
because we do a far larger clothing
business than anyone else in this
vicinity and because that business
is done on a strictly cash basis, it
stands to reason that we have de-
cided advantages when we go into
the market. That the best made
is of such advantages is shown
in our $40 suits. Look at them
carefully; compare them with
other $40 suits. Then you will see
for yourself.
Here is one of many $40 suits.
All-wool black cheviot, for busi-
ness or serni-dress. Cut on cor
rect lines and with round or
square corners. Sack coats or
three-button cutaways, as prefer
red. In addition to the regular
sizes we have special sizes for very
tall or very stout men, SO that be-
tween a full assortment of sizes
and the services of frst-class tai
lor to make minor alterations, we
can fit perfectly almost any man in
Sacramento.

Lost Mines and Springs.

There is a tradition In New Mexico
that many mines once freely worked
have been lost. There is another ira
dition that many springs have also
been lost, and 1t is understood that the
losses of both mines and springs were
brought about by the Indians. New
Mexico is supposed once to have been
much more attractive than it is now
The Pueblo Indians arose in revolt on
the first full moon In August, 1860
When they had driven the Spaniards
down into Old Mexico, they set to work
to change the conditions so that there
should be little temptation to reconquer
New Mexico.
This idea inspired the filing of mines
which had been opened and worked
during the former Spanish occupation
The Indians, with great care, destroyed
all traces Of many mines, it is said
This is not so surprising as what they
did to the springs. 1t is tradition, and
the statement is commonly accepted
as historic truth, that in their labors
to render the country as uninviting as
possible these Indians suppressed nu-
merous springs. Such results. We're ac-
complished in an ingenious manner. The
Indians dug down and cleared away
the dirt until they found the crevices
of the rock through which the water
came They took the fibrous bark of a
species of fir tree and tramped it into
the crevices. AS the material became
water-soaked it swelled until it plugged
Nothing remained but to throw back the
dirt and to give the surface the general
arid appearance of the surrounding
country. This was not temporary
expedient. 1t resulted, according to the
present theory, in the permanent de-
struction of many sources of water.
To this day the appearance of slight
moisture often stimulates a search for
one of the missing springs. Occasion
ally these searches are successful. The
earth is removed, the crevices are
found, the bark is picked out, and the
water. after more than two centuries
of being turned back, resumes its natur-
al fiow.-Topeka Capital.

Y. M. C. A. HANDBALL GAMES.
SEVERAL SHARP CONTESTS
LAST EVENING.
The Tournament Will be Resumed
on Thursday Evening-Tracy
and McCaw to Play.

The handball tournament games last
night at the Young Mems Christian
Association were between Alex McCaw
and John Fechter, Jr.
In the first game McCaw had the first
hand and made four aces. Then Fecht-
er went in and by good decision in plac-
ing the ball rolled up ten points be-
fore McCaw found the ball and put
him out.
McCaw was put out in the next hand,
and Fechter made eleven more points
and won Score, 21-4.
The second game was won by Fechter
by a score of 214 also. In this game
McCaw pulled up a little, keeping
Fechter running after the ball, and al
though the score was one-sided the
playing was very good, the ball being
kept in play some time before either
one scored.
The third went to McCaw, who play
ed a brilliant game from start to fin
ish. He served from the right-hand
corner and found a weak spot of
Fechter's. He made most Of his points
on serves.
In this game Fechter played a little
too recklessly until the middle. of the
game, when he settled down a little,
but it was too late, the score being
Pile in favor of McCaw.
The second set was between Mallory
Enos and A. E. Keene. The latter did
not come until o'clock, but both were
willing to play, so game was called at
9:15. Enos won the toss and took the
first hand and made ten points. Then
Keene made eight points, and things
looked even, but Enos steadied down
and by placing the ball made the score
21-10 in his favor
In the middle of the second game,
with the score 81 in favor Of Enos,
Keene complained of the ball being
ripped and dead, so a new one was
brought out, but too late to do Keene
any good the score being 21-6 in fa-
vor of Enos.
In the third game Keene steadied
down, he being a little ratified in the
first two games, and played good ball,
placing the ball and making the recov-
cry very good. He played an uphill
game. Having lost the first two games,
he naturally felt rather discouraged.
The score was 1919, when Keene went
in and made two good serves, and the
game. Score, 21-19.
Keene does not play as good ball in
a tournment game as in practice
game, as he gets ratified too easily.
The next games will be on Thursday
night between Alex McCaw and H. w.

BIighting Effect Of the
Frost in Atlantic
States.
Buds on the Peach Trees From
New York to Florida
Destroyed.
Berries, Pears, Plums, Cherries
and Even Early Apples Are
Badly Damagsd

NEW YORK, N. Y. May 1.-The Fruit
Trade Journal to-day prints reports from
Eastern fruit States showing the effect of
the recent cold weather.
The Bridgeville Del.) correspondent
writes: prominent fruit-growers who
have been cultivating peaches for twenty
years, after careful examination, say that
about IS per cent OF the peaches have been
killed. Some growers place the damage
as high as 80 per cent, which is true Of
many varieties, but taking them collec-
lively about three fourths of the buds are
dead. Troths, Early YORK and Mountain
Rose varieties seem to have been the least
damaged. Pears and plums are badly
damaged. Early varieties Of straw berries
have been injured. but not enough TO
affect the yield to any great extent"
From other States come the following :
Cypress, Fla The fruit crop promises
to be very light. Most all of the young
peaches have fallen from the trees.
Williamsport, Md.-Flve out of every
six growers think that the peach
crop in the mountain peach belt OF
Washington County is seriously injured
plums and apples have suffered to some
extent, while it is not thought that april
cots are injured in the least. wberries
and other small fruits are but slightly
touched.
New Jersey-It is reported from the
southern part of the State that all berries
are badly injured. 1t is feared that IS per
cent of the strawberry crop is injured.
There are probably produced annually in
South Jersey from 100000 to l, 900. 600 crates
of berries.
New York-Indefinite reports are re-
ceived of the effect of the 5rost early in
the week upon the crops of the western
part OF the State. Niagara County's peach
crop is probably heavily damaged.
Ontario County's currants. peaches and
cherries are believed to be only slightly
injured.
PennsyIvania-A. L. Rogers, large
peach grover OF Chamberg, reports
that all crops were DESTROYED by the freeze
of last week and that the loss will amount
to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In
the valley near Midvale the freeze was
not as hard, and crop of about 80 per
cent will be the result.
Michigan - According to William G..
VOORHEES,, Benzine County grower, the
fruit buds of Central and Southern Michi-
gan are nearly all ruined and the yield
will be exceedingly light.
Virginia-The cold snap OF last week in
