LASSOlNG A MOUNTAIN LION.

| Dragged at tho Heels Of q Horse q
Breakneck Speed.
Two young men living in Green Val
ley, in the mountains east of San Diego
had a lively experience with a noun
tain lion one day recently, coming out
ahead of the king of the desert by
strategy. The boys were ON their way
to the Griffin ranch on horseback and
Mrs. Hobbs, mother of one of them, was
with them. Young Hobbs was riding
ahead with Griffin behind him, when
q sudden turn in the creek bed through
which they were passing took Hobbs
out of sight for q second. In that brief
space there was an unearthiy bowling
and screeching, followed instantly by
the rearing and plunging of the horses.
A mountain lion had jumped out upon
young Hobbs, uttering ferocSous cries
as il leaped on the horses shoulder and
used its hind claws with great rapidity.
Hobbs leg, fortunately, was incased in
long boots of heavy leather, which re-
sisted the lions onslaught.
The horse In plunging Nslodged the
screaming brute. which darted back
under the shadow of heavy chenisal
thicliet. Hobbs reached for his gun
to prepare for another attack. Griffin
had had his hands full in looking after
Mrs. Hobbs, whose horse had become
unmanageable.
Placing her at safe distance in the
rear he returned and hastily put W

brute alive. Hobbs was to drew it from
the thiclcet, while Griffin, with lariai
ready, was to rope it. Griffin reiterated
a few steps, making his Iariat ready
while Hobbs, with a warwhoop, DASHED
toward the clump. The lion, crouched
in the shadow, screamed with rage al,d
jumped out toward him, frothing g.
the mouth and splitting. The horse
trembled with fear.
AT that moment Griffin spurred for

ENGLAND VS.. AMERICA.
The Extent OF the Coffee Habit.

When one notices the difference in the
average people OF England and America
regarding their diet and digestive abili-
ties, s6Sle natural inquiries come up.
What doss the Englishman eat that
gives him such good digestion, and what
is the reason for so much dyspepsia
among Americans?
Rudyard Kipljng makes out 'pie
belt through New England, and says its
pathway IS streWn with dyspeptics.
The Americans love for lard loaded
pastry is probaly the cause of some
trouble. but the apparently harmless
coffee is without doubt the father of
more stomach troubles in America than
any other item Of food or drink. Great
Britain consumes about 80, 00G, 900 pounds
of coffee annually while America dis
poses of something like $50 ,ooo0 900, nearly
or quite eleven times as much.
Analytical chemistry discovers the
same poisonous alkaloids in coffee as are
found in strycfnine, morphine, tobacco
and whisky.
These slight poisons taken daily, &C.
cumulate until the effect on the nerves
and stomch is pitiahie with some people
(who are peculiarly susceptible to
poison; the doses are continued from
day to Gay without knowledge Of what
is so surely destroying the power OF
nerves and stomach.
1t is = trial to give up coffee, but a
new beverage has made its appearance
on the market which is so like Java
coffee in its deep seal brown color and
assuming the rich golden brown of thick
Mocha when cream is added, that lovers
Of coffee who are denied it's use, because
OF the effects, can adopt this new food
drink freely. The change in taste is 50
slight that many do not discover that
any change has been made. The new
product is called Postum. and il is as
serted by the manufacturers the Postum
Cereal Co. Limited. Battle Creek, Mich,
that it consists wholly and solely OF
wheat and other cereals, carefully cook
"a and roasted in different ways. When
he parts are mixed or blended a perfect
breakfast beverage, true health coffee
'esults, which contains the n0urishing
md healthful properties Of the grains
Intended by nature for mans subsistence.
1t is worthy the trial OF anyone fwho
las trouble with coffee, or who desires
o regulate their habits with due regard

THE BEET BOOM.
Satisfactory Reports Are Expected
From the Canvassers.

Yesterday being Sunday, no reports
We're received from the sugar beet can
vassers, who went out to interview and
endeavor to interest farmers in the
proposition to plant ten thousand acres
of beets and thus secure the erection Of
a factory here costing a million dol
lars, and with a capacity Of thousand
tons per day.
It is believed, however, that encour-
aging reports viii be received in a day
or two from this and Yolo Counties.
The offer is such an advantageous one,
and means so much for the farmers,
that it does not seem possible there can
be much difficulty in securing the req
uisite number of acres.
Beets are a sure crop, for one thing,
and then the growers are certain of
home market for every pound they can
raise, with a guarantee from the rail-
road company of a 50-cent per ton rate
on all shipments to the factory within
a distance of twenty-five miles. Good
prices are also a certainty, and the
better the quality of the beets the bet
ter the price.
The observation-disclosures proposition
should be snapped up readily, and
doubtless will be.

new GOODS FOR FALL.

Hundreds of cases of new faII
goods have been carried to our
doors and unpacked in the past few
days, all bought under the most ia
vorab1e circumstances, bought for
cash and bills discounted, bought
before the new tariff law put an
extra import tax on them, bought
from first hands, thus saving the
zniddleman's profit. We never
showed more varied stocks, more
attractive goods, nor such great
quantities as now load every foot
of room in THE BIG STORE, and
the low prices that are now being
quoted as result of the above
facts will be duplicated by but
few. few. Our buyers did well
their work and the fruit of their
Iabors-the edict. "Threre'u be no
high prices here" Our motto shall
remain the same. "Once leaders
always leaders with the highest
class of merchandise at the very
lowest prices"

A ADJUSTMENTS.

The Clunie was quite comfortably
filled last night to witness the initial
performance of Miss Kate Purssell and
company in THE Queen of the Plains. .
The play is of the wildly romantic,
thrilling order so dear to the upper
house and was most vociferously APP
plauded from that locality, while re-
ceiving a fair amount of communication
from the less demonstrative dress cir
Gle. 1t is the story, like many others,
of the revenge of a daughter for her
mothers murder; incidental to the ac-
complishment of such dutiful devotion,
the scenes and characters assume many
changes and not a few of the characters
sustain a change of locality and use
fulness by the knife and bullet route
at the hands of the avenging mountain
maid and her few but steadfast and
earnest friends. The free and easy
mining camp saloon is not forgotten
nor is the palatial gambling hall lost
to view. The Hibernian good soul still
remains in the cast and affords dis
play Of righteous indignation carried
out by physical ability to right a
wrong. The detective is there and so
are the usual camp and city roust-
abouts, gamblers, cowboys and the
hero and heroine do not mar the usual
course of things by not having a tough
time q love making, sustaining many
misunderstanding and by not failing
to fall into loving embrace at the end
of the last act, for it would be highly
improper to do SO at any other time, as
we'll as to destroy the firmly established
expectations of border dramas. The
cast is large and Miss PurSsell makes
some very remarkably quick changes
of costume. She assumes her part cas-
lily and does not overact it. OF the gem
tlemen of the troupe Messrs. Kyle, Sui
Ivan. Sloman and Ross have about all
there is to do, but do it we'll. During
the evening there were several special

mento. In the vocal line Mr.. Sloman
was happily received and enthusi-
astically applauded from all parts
of the house. Silver and Clark, song
and dance specialties, are as clever as
ever shown here and were compelled to
repeat their performances almost to
their exhaustion. "The Queen of the
Plains will be repeated this evening
and the balance of the week, and
should prove a great drawing card for
the house.

HORSE VS.. CAR.

When within a few yards of the car,
and While approaching it from in front

motor, and as the car was not going
very fast, he was able to stop it in a few
yards, but not before the horse was
struck and Knocked down, the driver
having turned him broadside to the
car.
The front wheels of the buggy were
