Case OF PROBABLE MURDER.
Brutal Assault on a Chinaman at
Folsom.
Attacked and ShockingIy Beaten by
Other Chinese-They Are
Now in Jail.

Yesterday two Cinnamon named All
How and Ah Foo attacked an aged
Mongolian known as All Wan in the
rear of an old rookery in Fosom's Chi
natown.
A dispute had arisen over some old
lumber. which All Wan claimed as his
property, and when he called to remove
it he was set upon by the above-named
coolies.
1t is claimed and, according to Con-
stable NJ. II. Burke of Folsom, both
prisoners admit that while All Foo held
All Wan down on the ground All How
belabored the PROSTATE mans head and
body with a large and ragged edged
rock, cutting a large cash over the left
eye and exposing the brain, also bruis-
ing the left side of his body.
After beating. him into insensibility,
the assailants of All Wan threw him
over a steep cliff, where some boys soon
afterward discovered him by following
the trail of blood
The victim was lowering between life
and death at last accounts, with the
chances against his recovery He was
in the Chinese dead house." and, OF
course, little or nothing was done for
him.
All Foo and All How We're soon after
ward arrested by Constable NJ. II.
Burke and brought from Folsom and
lodged in the County Jail. Both are
old men, perhaps 80 years of, age.

THE CROSSROADS SCHOOL"
A Roaring BurIesque to be Given on
the 22d Instant.

On Thursday evening next, at the
Metropolitan Theater, will be presented
an amusing and laughable burlesque,
known as THE Cross Roads School"
the characters in which will be taken
by prominent and Well-knOWn citizens.
The burlesque was written by Mrs.
Ada H Van Pelt of Oakland. 1t con-
sists of three acts, requiring forty-one
characters While it is a burlesque,
the principal characteristics of teach
ing school in "ye olden time" are truly
Represented in regard to manners, dress
and method of instruction.
The quaint costumes worn a century
ago by teacher and pupils form a
pleasing spectacle, and to see we'll
known citizens so clad and acting the
part of school children is irresistibly
funny.
The play opens with the pupils on
their way TO school. Some loiter along,
While others stop to engage in plays of
different kinds The last to appear is
the schoolmaster, who, after seeing
that the schoolroom is in order rings
the bell. The roll-call reveals some
wonderful names, as ancient as history,
and regular Jaw breakers
The school is opened by singing several
rounds, ard then the infant class is
called UP. In quick succession the
other classes follow, and the morning
session is passed by hearing these, and
in subduing some Of the unruly schol-
ars.
At the noon recess the children eat
their dinner, after which many of the
\
wonderful agility. of some of the most
active ones is displayed. The recess
is closed by the pupils collecting around
the Well and singing The Old Oaken
Bucket The committeeman visit the
school in the afternoon, and there are
orations declamations, compositions
and songs.
Most favorable comments have been
made by the press where the ''The
Cross Roads School" has been given, as
is shown by the following:
San Francisco "Chronicle": s"The
Cross Roads School scored a big sue
cess last evening"
Oakland Enquirer: There was a
scrush and a jam at the Macdonough
Hast night. when the doors opened for
The Cross Roads School, burlesque
and in a short time every seat in the
building was occupied. It was an au-
dience which came to be amused, and
amused it was, from start to finish
" In every respect the burlesque
was a success, and Mrs. Ada Van Pelt
the author. has every reason to be
proud of her work.
Oakland Tribune: "a laughing sue
cess. The CROSSROADS School held its
closing ses sion last evening at Hamil-
ton Hall, and an audience which
jammed the auditorium witnessed the
proceedings with the greatest inter
est"
Berkeley Advocate: "A large audi
ence assembled in Shattuck Hall last
night to witness the performance of

i. r. Boone. of the Board of Educa :.
ton, acted as schoolmaster, and many
prominent Berkeleyans were in the
role as school children. All who wit
messed the play were delighted
! Modesto Daily News: "a packed
house greeted The Cross Roads School
performance given at Plato's Opera
house hast evening. Never has an anna
teur entertainment been witnessed in
Modesto that gave such satisfaction as
this burlesque."

Mrs. Ballou. who resides in Slaters
Addition, recently had trouble with a
man named West concerning a dog
owned by her A few days since the
dog disappeared, and yesterday it was
fished out of the river, where it had
been thrown after having had its throat

1t wouldn't have been so serious
matter if the dog had been thrown in
below the city's water pipe, instead of
just above it.

Scott however, appears to have had
plenty of money, but for time he had

1t was apparently the intention of the
party to go to Montreal at once, thence
to sail for Europe, and they are doubt
less now on the way there. The "Ba-
roness" refuses to believe that Won Ar

but how she accounts for the presence
of Detective Stilwell and the flight into
Canada is not explained.

glad to pay their share of the cost of
these roads so long as the state pays
its part. The country districts in New
Jersey are overwhelming the state au-
thorities with petitions to assist in the
improvement of local roads, and the
legislature cannot appropriate funds
for the purpose sufficient to meet the
demands from the farmers The New
Jersey commissioner of public roads
tells me that large part of his time is
occupied listening to the pleadings of
farmers that the roads in their districts
shall be the first to receive the benefit
of state aid.
Our suggestion of state aid is now
also being advocated by the leading rep
resentative farmers of the United
States as the proper solution of this
great bodybuilding question. The
farmers national congress has passed
John M. Stahl, the able and energetic
secretary of that organization, is one
of its warmest advocates. He has writ
ten extensively upon the subject, and
has assisted us in our work for state aid
before the legislatures. In New York
state, in Connecticut, in Pennsylvania
and in Wisconsin, the League of Amer
lean Wheelmen and the farmers or
CARNATIONS have worked hand in hand
for state aid. This is the strongest en-
dorsement which could be given to the
efforts of the League of American
Wheelmen, and shows that they are
aimed in the right direction.
All classes alike are beginning to re-
alize the great economic Importance OF
permanent highways. Farmers feel
that they have too long been compelled
to build and improve country roads at
their own expense, and they are en-
titled to state support in this great
necessary public improvement. Upon
these lines, and upon these lines alone,
the good roads improvement is bound to
succeed, and will succeed, and upon
these lines the League of American
Wheelmen proposes to keep up its agi-
tation, with the help of the farmers OF
the United States, until our common
roads, neglected until now, the stepchil-
dren, as it were, of a great republic,
shall have received at the hands of our
legislatures some of that tender care
and nursing which has been extended
in the past to canals, to steamship lines
and to railroads, many of which have
grown up almost entirely at public ex-
pense.

No talking. After Harve.t..

Under old methods of harvesting the
steel rake was very important adjunct
to secure scattered grain. Yet even in
those days good farmers did not find
those rakings very valuable, as they
were always stained and often nearly
ready to sprout by alternate wet and
dry weather. The new harvesters leave
no rakings, and as what would other
wise be wasted is thus saved for market,
1t makes a material addition to the
crop. We know farmers who used to
thresh the rakings separately and grind
them for hog feed rather than mix the
stained with the marketable grain.

and perfect features. He was seven
years older than myself, but ten years
younger than Willard.
Willard, when he came from Paris,
was dark-haired, dark-eyed man, with
a grave face, settled habits of punctu-
atty, reserved manner; a man who
inspired confidence and whom Uncle
Harry, at nearly 70 years of age, re-
spected, which was high compli-
ment.
l was glad Willard was away upon
some business of the estate as watched
Cecil pacing up and down the garden
walks, restlessly beheading all my pet
flowers with his cane. If they quar-
relied, thought, with shudder-
Cecil looked murderous.
Then l cried again until Mrs. Stone,
my old governess, who remained as
my companion, came in to comfort me.
The dear old lady was very kind, very
gentle, but she said little about Cecil,
and that little seemed to advise me to
think no more about him. 1t bewil-
dered me! Of course l did not expect
a wedding to follow funeral at once,
but why was Cecil to be treated like
one in disgrace? The new will may
have given him Wizards place and
property. He evidently thought so.
He came in after an hour or two, in
which he had walked off the worst of
his rage, but there was look in his
eyes that was worse than hot anger,
and he said:
"That will must be found!"
"There was thorough search made
for It'll" Mrs. Stone said, coldly.
Eyes, by interested parties!" was the
sneering reply. "The house is yours,
Marian, no Wizards. ask your per-
mission to look for the will"
gave it and then escaped to my own
room. He would look for the will, per-
haps find it, and Willard would lose his
inheritance. And l was not glad! A
horrible weight oppressed me as
thought of Cecil master in Wexford
Place-master of the factory-my hus-
band!
At the last thought the scales fell al
last from my girlish eyes, and l knew
that my love for Cecil was but the nat
ural affection of child for life com
panion, exalted to an ideal perfection by
youthful imagination. And when the
idol had fallen there rose in its place a
grave face with large. soft, black eyes
and l covered my own face to hide hot
bushes; for never had Willard spoken
one word of love to Cecil's betrothed-
never given me other than the gentle
courtesy due to his stepfather's niece
and his short-time ward.
He was a king amongst men, and
knew it. For years | had known OF

Paris agent and since he had been at

Sailing Cows Regularly.

Salt is an important aid to digestion.
ard especially so to all ruminant ami
mails. If cows are not sailed frequent
ly they will eat more than is good for
them when they do get access to salt.
In large quantities salt is laxative, it
being an irritant to the bowels, which
are therefore purged to get rid of it.
Failure to salt regularly will make the
cream more difficult to turn into but
ter, thus repaying the farmer for his
carelessness by giving him longer
and harder job at churning.
