JONES VS. BILMARTIN.
New Cyclomere Champion Will
Race the Visitor.

MACE Tic lSlEOr.
1t will be Jones VS.. Bilmartin, now,
TerriH having been disposed of so
easily by the gleeful racer. The dis
lance will be five miles and there will
be pacing by tandems and a triplet.
Bilmartin challenged the winner of the
gift enterprise match OF Tuesday even
ing and found that Jones was
willin'" Details will be arranged to-
day and the match fought out on
Tuesday or Wednesday evening of
next week.
OF course Bilmartin is veteran at
the game of five miles or over Jones
has been in a few races OF that meas
ure and has noticed a good many as
they were going on in and around San
Francisco. Jones has used good gem
eralship in all this racing and should
be able TO go the five miles all right
and have reserve for a battle royal
down the home stretch.
1t may be necessary to pull two or
three men from the ranks of the anna
tours for the acting. Good, cool riders
are needed for this work The re-
quirement is not so much speed as
steadiness, for uneven pacing will kill
the best rider.

pleased to have the opportunityto meet
Bilmartin and would try his best to
vanquish the visitor AS to conditions,

SUICIDE.
A Plantation Japanese LabOrer
Hangs Himself.

At about els last evening, tele-
phone message from Eva plantation
to the effect that a Japanese laborer
had committed suicide at that place,
was received at the police station.
1t seems that when the Japanese
laborers returned from work in the
fields they found the fellow hanging
by rope suspended from one of the
rafters in his house. From all appear
ance, he must have been dead for some
time. The body was cut down and
prepared for burial.
The Japanese was in the city last
week and left for the plantation some
four days ago. There he found en-
ployment and seemed to be perfectly
contented. Even on Tuesday he was
out in the fields working. No motive
for the suicide has yet been found.

HON. WALTER PRICE DECLINES.

1t was understood thru ughout the
county that Mr., Price would again be a
candidate to represent this district in
the stale senate, and it was thought by
many he would be the choice of the PEG.
pie without opposition. But the cruel
hand Of death has necessilated Il change
in his plans, and since his lamented
brother. Thomas Price, is known no
longer in the walks Of men. he finds he
has the care and responsibility for the
management of two plantations, and he
cannot consequently give that attention
to public affairs which his constituency
would have a right to expect Of him.
In all his life and conduct Walter
Price has always stood high in the est
nation of his fellow citizens In pub.
lie stations he has ever been faithful and
efficient, and a man who, as all his ac-
quaintances know, has the courage of
his convictions. He has neglected nc
duty nor has he ever avoided any res
possibility. Whenever he felt that the
public interest Wa at stake be was care
full and painstaking and acted only after
mature deliberation, and rarely, if ever,
was his Judgment at fault. AS Il pub
lie servant he has enjoyed the fullest
confidence of his constituency, and it is
a cause of almost universal regret that
by the force of circumstances the coun.
ty and state are to be deprived of the
benefit of his valuable services.
