Gladness Comes

IA, :th a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills. which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condl-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup OF Figs prompt
Iy removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by al
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes interna.
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t IS therefore
ali Important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that you have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
ard the system is regular, laXatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but if in need of q laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs STANDS highest and is most largely
nseG and g yes most general satisfaction.

THE HYDRAULICKERS.
Monthly Meeting of the Anti-Debris
Association.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Executive Committee of the AntiDe-
briS Association was held in this city
yesterday. Chairman Jenkins presiding
and Sheriff Robert Cosner of Colusa
at the Secretary's desk
Robert T. Devlin, for the Committee
on Legislation, reported as to the status
Of the dredger bill and on other mat
ters of legislation in which the associa-
ton is interested
He also reported on the condition of
criminal actions pending in the United
states District Court, instituted by the
association for the violation of the law
prohibiting hydraulic mining without
obtaining the permit required by law
The committee instructed the attor-
ney to commence a suit against certain
persons whose names We're reported by
the manager and Watchmen, who We're
mining unlawfully by the hydraulic
process to the injury Of the rivers.
Manager w. T. Phipps made his
monthly report detailing the operations
of the watchmen and naming and de-
scribing the mines visited during the
preceding month He reported that
several of the dams erected to restrain
mining debris were totally insufficient
for that purpose, and that many would
soon fall Of their own weight.
Complaint was made to the associa-
ton by Senator Shippee and William
Grant, manager of Balfour, Guthrie &
Co, that the Cherokee mine in Butte
County was doing much damage by
unlawful hydraulic mining, although
they have a permit from the United
States Debris Commission. The asso-
citation, by its officers, investigated the
| matter, and has taken steps to have the
permit Withdrawn to procure the cessa-
| ton of all mining operations. A letter
was received from Cassius E. Gillette,
Captain Of the Corps of Engineers, and
| the Secretary of the United States
Debris Commission, that the matter
was now under investigation.
The extent to which hydraulic min
ing is being carried on along the
Costumes River was explained in a re-
port regarding operations in that sec
! ton.
After a general discussion on matters
relating to hydraulic mining in all its
phases, the committee adjourned till

A SHORTSIGHTED METROPOLIS.

San Francisco influence opposing a
general State system for the scientific
and economic promotion of highway
construction and maintenance in Cali
fornia, is very much mistaken when it
bases It's opposition on the ground that
she contributes one-third of the taxes
and has none. of the Matchmaking within
her boundaries. So sadly mistaken are
such people in this argument that we
are amazed they should make it. The
metropolis is what it is because of the
State without State prosperity and
growth San Francisco cannot prosper
and expand. There the wealth of the
State reservoirs; that city is the com
mercfal center of the commonwealth.
Whatever builds up, develops and en-
riches the interior is directly tributary
to and rebounds in the highest sense to
the glory of san Francisco. Soy broadly
true is that proposition that San Fran
cisco could well afford to pay the whole
sum needed, and that too voluntarily,
rather than not see a State system in
augurated- Under the plan as ii now
stands, IT is really only State supervision
over county construction, since local
taxation is reduced to meet the State
road tax. but the division or district and
county work is to be in accord with a
rational system to which districts and
counties can train their local systems.
Now such scheme is the very thing
that San Francisco ought TO rejoice in.
instead of attempting to defeat it, 1t is
plead ed that San Francisco's share OF
the tax ought to be expended in that city
and county But that is assuming that
the. streets and roads of that city are
essential parts Of State system
However. it is EXCEEDINGLY un-
wise on the part of San Francisco 10
say to the interior as she is now saying
that she will not willingly contribute
her share toward State building so far
as a highway system is involved. This
opposition is the most shortsighted
policy the metropolis could possibly
adopt. If it is successful it will be self
inflicted blow; absolutely Of suicidal di-

AN IDENTICAL CASE
Missouri Also Has Newspaper Man

The Missouri Legislature has been
having trouble with a newspaper man
on the same lines that our own Legisla-
ture has been dealing with the Elk

An editor named Lowe had refused
to answer questions asked him during
an investigation, and he was sent to
Jail for contempt. He carried the case
to the Court of Appeals, and that tri-
bunal upheld the action of the Assem-
bly,.
A copy of the courts decision was re-
ceived yesterday by Judge Hughes, and
he found that it was based on precisely
the same authorities cited by him in
his decision in the Examiner" case.

Of the expediency of adopting it there
is a wide diversity of opinion and this
diversity shows that Grand Juries are
in increasing disfavor. Only a few
years ago a proposition of the kind
would have been regarded with some
thing akin to horror, but Grand Juries
have so often proved to be grand hum
bugs that the people are almost rap
idly losing respect for them. A Grand
Jury composed of careful, conscien-
tious and well Informed men, as it
should be, is a very useful body, put
when members are drawn blindly, With
out regard to especial qualifications. 1t
is no more entitled to respect than a
petit jury, the many absurd findings
of which have become the butt of Vul-
gar wit all over the land. Then, too,
these inquisitorial bodies are frequent
~ imposed upon by the malicious, who,
under cover of the secrecy thereof,
harass neighbors and make the courts
mere instruments of revenge. To abol-
ish Grand Juries would by many be
regarded as a dangerous experiment,
but their existence involves danger also
and it is only because the people are
accustomed to the dangers and veX-
ations they entail that they look with
dislike on a proposition to. do without
them.
WHAT TO EXPECT.
Humboldt Standard: During the cam
paign Mckinley stood for an honest dol
lar and chance to earn it. He stands
for the same thing to-day, and in his
inaugural declares for protection to
American citizens, at home and abroad.
Mr.. Weyler will deal with a man from
now onward who had the American
patriotism and courage to fight for his
| country when fighting had to be done
and he will be assisted in his foreign re-
lations work by Senator Sherman
brother to the ablest Union General
next to Grant, if, indeed, We must make

A Freak Duck

Englewood, N. J., comes to the front
with a duck story. An aged duck, the
property of John Martin, a produce
farmer, hatched out a bunch of sixteen
little ducklings a week ago. Five of them
were ordinary ducks, but the sixth was
freak-a duck with two bodies. The
bodies are not side by side nor are they
tandem. One of the bodies grows on the
back of the other with the feet ir the air.
Both bodies and all four feet are per-
fectly developed and the duckling
seems to be as lively IS any of its fell
lows. The mother duck is very proud of
her unique offspring, and pays much at
tention to him, particularly as the su
perfluous feet are likely to catch fire.
quently in the tall grass.
Many of the residents of Englewood
have journeyed to Martins farm to see
the freak, and he intends to give sort
of ar Informal soree when the double
duck takes his first swimming lesson.
He thinks the four-legged wonder
should be the best swimmer on the pond.

One Thing She Cannot

Victor Hugo remarked that this is
woman's century, and events are con-
stantly bearing him out. The pulpit,
the bar, medicine, journalism and the
Klondike, all have their feminine stars.
AS for athletics, the fair sex no longer
asks any odds, and college girls are
among the most formidable of college
boys And yet-well, the record of the
: recent annual games at Vassar speaks
for itself The girls were all right at
fence-vaulting, running, parallel bars.
and the like; but when it came to throw
ing the ball the winner of the contest
only covered a beggarly sixty-seven
feet! A boy of six could beat that and
not half try. Il is not even stated wheth-
er the female ball-throwing champion
came anywhere near the mark she aim
ed at. Probably not. And this poor
showing, despite the fact that the Vas

LONG BEACH

LONG BEACH, Aug. 2S-(Regular
Cores spondence.) Not the least of the
many pleasures offered for a summers
enjoyment here are the numerous boats
and yachts that anchor at the pier ana
are owned by residents of the town.
Sailing parties are coming and going
constantly with baskets of luncheon and
fishing tackle. Moonlight and starlight
excursions in gaily Illuminated yachts
and bands of music are of nightly oc-
currence. To those exempt from NAL de
mer. nothing can be more delightful
than sail by daylight or moonlight,
a skim over the blue waters with
stiff breeze and jolly party. Each year
people grow fonder of the pastime ana
the pleasure fleet grows larger to meet
the demand. Long Beach has the most
and greatest variety of boats of any re-
sort on the southern coast, with the pos
sible exception of San Diego.
The farmers institute is being well
attended and the sessions are of interest
and benefit to those present. The hall
is tastefully decorated with flowers and
a choice display of fruit, including lem
ons. olives, peaches, figs. apples and
ounces. Judge Dillon made fine aX-
hibit of fruits as well as walnuts clus
ters of dates, bananas and guavas.
Among other horticulturists who show
beautiful fruits are Josiah Sharp Josh
ua Andrews, Messrs. Clewitt, Cossa-
boom, Summers, DR.. Woods, DR., Sill,
Thomas Stovell and others. The papers
have been able and instructive, and the
discussions lively and to the point. Pro-
fessor Cook presides with his character
istic ability and energy, keeping things
moving along smoothly and pleasantly
This is the first institute with which
Long Beach has been honored, and it is
hoped that it may be feature of the
season with the other conventions held
here.
