FLAG AND SWORDS.
They May be Presented to the Vol

Unless some unforeseen obstacle
arises the presentation of flag to
Captain Cookies Battery G, at Black
Point, and of swords to Captain Lucey
and Lieutenants McMartin and Hughes
/ of Company F, Sixth Regiment, at the
Preside, will take place on Thursday
afternoon.
Mayor Land is not certain that it
will be tomorrow, as up to late hour
last night he had not received definite
word from Captain Cooke as to wheth-
er or not matters were in readiness, but
he expected to learn to-day.
The Mayor will select a committee
of citizens to accompany him to San
Francisco for the purpose of making
the presentations, and it is desired that
as many citizens as possible will go
along and put Sacramento in evidence
at the military camps.
The swords for Company F's COM
missioned officers have been purchased
by E. w. Hale with the money con-
tributed by citizens, and it is said
they are very fine ones. In addition
thereto DR.. Simmons, who was form
erly a Major on the Third Brigade
staff, has given his sword, which is
to be presented to Captain Lucey.
There will be four presentations in
all-the flag and the swords-and two
of the addresses will be made by Ell

There are doubtless quite a number
of citizens who would like to be pres

DEED VS.. MORTGAGE.
A Law Point That Judge johnson is
to Settle


An interesting question of law is in
volved in the case of Joseph Joerger
against Carl Windmuller and others,
which was tried before Judge Johnson
yesterday
1t seems that in 1885 the plaintiff lent
the defendant $1,000 on a mortgage on
some land not far from Folsom, in this
county In the fall of 1895 there as
about $4,000 due on the mortgage, ard
the defendant was unable to pay The
land was not worth the amount due on
the mortgage, SO it was agreed that
Windmuller should make Joerger a
deed of the property in satisfaction Of
the mortgage and it was accordingly
arranged that the parties should meet
in Sacramento on a certain day to exc
cute the necessary papers.
Just prior to the time fixed for max
ing the deed Windmuller and his wife
executed mortgage on the same prop
erty to their two sons for So ,00O nd
this mortgage was duly placed on rec
ord. Joerger, in entire ignorance of
any other claims against the land,
came to Sacramento on the day fixed
and accepted the deed to the place He
then recorded his deed and satisfied his
mortgage.
Subsequently he learned of the mort
gage to the sons, and thereupon brought
the action that was tried yesterday, in
which he claims that there was no
consideration for the mortgage to :he
sons, and asks that the mortgage be
declared void as to him, or that they
be required to redeem the property from
his original mortgage within a time to
be fixed by the court.
The plaintiff was represented by Mil
Ter & Brown, and the defendants by AL
bert NJ. Johnson and Driver & Sims. At
the conclusion of the testimony Judge
Johnson took the case under advise

Can be given why Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
cure for every form of indigestion.
They are in tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities indefinitely
while LIQUID preparations become stale
and useless with age.
They are convenient, can be carried
in the 9ocket and taken when needed.
They are pleasant to the taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two
of them in the mouth and, mingling
with the food, they constitute perfect
digestive, absolutely 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 pro-
duets of fermented, half digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.

THE LATE RAIN.
What the Crop Observers Have to
Say of It.

Following is a summary Of the week
ly crop bulletin received by the Wealth
er Bureau:
The heaviest rainfall, except one,
since January, and in some sections the
heaviest of the season, occurred in Cal
ifornia at the close of the week. Over
an inch of rain fell at number Of sta
tions in the central and southern coast
portion. At Los Angeles the rainfall
amounted to .46 inches. The rainfall
in excess of the normal varied from
about three-quarters of an inch to one
inch and over, except on the northwest
ern coast, where the rainfall was below
the normal about one-tenth of an inch.
The rain breaks the long drought and
while too late to be of much benefit to
the chief agricultural interests, rein
forcks the water supply, and will in
many ways be of the utmost advantage.
The temperature has been below the
normal, and the weather generally
cloudy.
The cold, cloudy weather has been
beneficial to whatever latesown grain
is still alive; summer-falloWed grain is
heading out and some patches will
yield a fair crop. All hay that was
cut was damaged somewhat by the
rain.
Fruit will be greatly benefited. Raj
sin and other grapes are thrifty and
promise well. Cherries were ripening
nicely, but the heavy rain will split the
ripe ones. Black Tartarians are report
ed as badly blighted in one county.
Owing to heavy rainfall beans will
probably be planted. The rain has
greatly benefited beets and hops.

HONEST ELECTIONS.

Marion county has always shown ar
aversion to open frauds on the the bal
lot. Minor and secret frauds have
been committed frequently at the
primaries and elections, but the
tendency has been toward strict OBJ
servance of the law.
The growth of public sentiment is
in the direction Of purer elections.
At the last city election the rules
were enforced rigidly, and an election
by one plurality has been sacredly re-
garded. At the last school election
all the officers of election demanded
that the law be most strictly con-
strued and only those bona6de voters
who had property in the district on
which they had paid tax were al
lowed to vote.
In the contest over the judgeship
the honor OF the community is at
stake. If the crimes charged have
been committed, some one should be
convicted and sent to the penitenti-
ary. All know the strife among law
yers who have judge whose ear is
more ready for one than for another.
This is SANDER in itself on the pro-
fession, and If any steps have been
taken by interested parties to accom-
plish the election of one judge over
another by unfair means in this case
now being Investigated at Salem, the
bar owes it to the profession to find
the facts and punish the crime.
Honest elections are the mcst pre-
clous boon of civilized society. If
the outrages charged in the Boise
DARCY contest have been committed
and no one can be brought to justice |
it will be an advertisement of lawless.
ness to the whole world that Marion |
county will not easily recover from.
1t will be a black mark on the face OF
Oregon not easily effaced.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-From two
Cuban officers, picked up by the Vixen
it has been learned that General
Pando is moving eastward from Man
zillo with $1,000 Spanish troops, for
the purpose Of assisting the beleagured
city of Santiago de Cuba. The Cubans
had come to Acerraderos in small
boats, with dispatches from General
Rios for Admiral Sampson and
General Rabi,
They report that Pando has with
him seven battalions, numbering $40
men, with cattle and pack train
with provisions. He left Lanzillo,

The Spaniards were moving at the
rate of twelve miles day when the

speed it is expected they will reach

rear, and harrasing General Pando's
tracks at every step.
