We have received and read with
great interest a copy Of Hon. Binger
Hermann's "The Louisiana Purchase
anG our title west Of the Rocky Moun-
tains, with a review Of annexation by
the United States" The honorable
commissioner Of the general land office
has shown himself to be the ablest
student OF history and the most ac-
complished literary man among all
who have the honor To represent our
state at Washington In recent years.
This paper always thought 1t was Il
great mistake not To keep Mr.. Her
mann in congress, but II was not
known at the time the ReDubllcans,of
this district, set him aside that he
would be promoted to a wider field OF
usefulness. Secretary Bliss, In his
report on the!department OF the inte-
rlor for 1895, compliments Blnger Her
mann highly for his services. The
possibility that lie shall succeed Mr..
Bliss In the cabinet Is very gratlIylng
TO Mr.. Hsrmann's friends In Western
Oregon. IL is worthy Of notice that
the concluding chapter of his book
deals With the construction OF tre
Nicaragua canal, which he demands
shall be built by our government and
owned aud operated by IL. We heart
lily agree with this and submit that
til people have no patience with the
idea that this lnter-Oceanic govern
ment canal shall be constructed by a
corporation backed by the United
States. The Lincoln public schools,of
this city, were also remembered with
a conv Of Mr.. Hermann's book.

A GROCER'S JAG
Williams and His Wife Break Loose
and Raise Row

H. j. Williams is engaged in the groc-
cry business on the corner of East First
and Dacotah street, but has a great
weakness for looking on the wine when
it is red. To add to the pity of the thing
his wife takes after her wayward hus-
band and the combination is a strong
one, to say the least.
When these fits of gaiety strike the
Williams family business and its at
tendant worries can go to Halifax. For
some weeks past the two have been on
a protracted tear" and in consequence
their more peace abiding neighbors have
had little or no sleep. They complained
to Officer Fifield of the disturbance in
the midst of their order loving commun-
ity and that worthy proceeded to abate
the nuisance. He swore to a warrant
charging John Doe and Jane Doe Will
liams with maliciously disturbing the
peace of their neighborhood, and as
result yanked them into the police sta
tion about half-past five yesterday af-
ternoon, and that is why the grocery
store of H. ]. Williams & Co. will be
closed on New Year.

John Charters and d. Ellsworth Par
ties to q Mixed-Up Transaction.
Constable Sued by Brewers

Isabella Regan, powerfully built
young woman, who gave her age as 26,
-,was committed to the Highland insane
asylum yesterday by Judge Smith. Miss
Regan is a native Of Canada. but has
been in the United States for many
years. She is erratic only on one subject,
but as she has a bad temper when reused
and the strength of giantess, that one
subject might lead to an inquest at any
time, and consequently Judge Smith
and Drs. Wills and Ainsworth thought it
best to send her to the asylum.
The woman was quite self-possessed
while being examined. She claimed that
a conductor on University car had in
suited her on the 21st by saying, There
goes a notorious thief" She then went
to the power house at Seventh street and
Grand avenue to lodge complaint and
punched a conductor named Frank L.
Anderson in the face because she
thought that he had laughed at her. In
fact, she believed herself to be the vic
tim of conspiracy of street car con-
ductors in this city, and the only motive
she could ascribe for the persecution was
that she had once been accused of
stealing $100 worth of goods from some
clergyman there, although the charge
was groundless, and, she said impress
sively: Islander travels faster than
fire." She admitted having been arrest
ed in Oakland for insanity by police
man and confined in the Stockton asy
lum. However, at that time she had with
her a brother who secured her release in
three days time. Unfortunately he has
since then gone to the Klondike.
Miss Regan pleaded not to be sent to
the asylum. Judge Smith told her how
much better it would be for her to have
the care, medical attendance. good nurs-
ing and quiet which would soon restore
her mentally.
"Why, my dear madam" said the
court, in his paternal way, think Of it.
You will have flowers in the garden, mu
sic in the parlor and numerous other
things to make you comfortable. What
more would you want?"
"Oh, not much" said the demented
young woman, mot much. You just go
and enjoy the flowers and music your
self and let me stay free!'

A DEFAULTING TREASURER
Fred g. Hughes Of Tucson Going Back
There in Sheriff's Custody

Sheriff R. N. Leatherwood of Tucson
was a guest at the Hollenbeck yester
day, having in his charge Fred G..
Hughes, late clerk of the board of SUI
pervisors of Pima county, who abscond-
ed couple of months ago with $4,000, the
funds of the Pioneer society of Arizona,
of which he was the treasurer.
Hughes first went to Sonora, but the
governor of Arizona would not sign ex-
tradition papers and Hughes, although
he expressed his willingness to return to
Tucson, escaped from Sonora and made
his way to Randsburg, Kern county.
Here he was arrested by constable to
whom he admitted his identity and con-
veyed to Bakersfield, where Sheriff
Leatherwood found him. 1t is claimed
that since Hughes departed from Ari-
zona a number Of defalcations. aggre
eating $4,000, have been discovered in his
books in the supervisors office. AS
Leatherwood and Hughes are old friends
the sheriff did not think it proper to sub

A HoBo's TOILET

hood of the East Side Reservoir


James Buckley is young man whose
motto is evidently something about
cleanliness being next to Goodness. With
an excess of zeal, however, he decided
that the zanja connected with the res
ervoir at the junction of Downey ave-
nue. and Mission road would be a good
location to take BATH Either he over
looked the fact, however, or else he de-
liberately didn't care, that path around
his impromptu bathroom is frequently
used by the female residents of that
community in passing from their own to
their neighbors' houses. The viglant
Sergeant McKeag, however, noticed the
alarmed appearance of number of
passing women and proceeded to investi-
gate. He finally found the midwinter
bather in an entirely nude condition
splashing the crystal waters over his
dusty frame with evident relish. And
now James will battle at the city's ex-

A NEW GAME BIRD
FIVE PAIRS OF MoNGoLIAN
PHEASANTS RECEIVED
They Will Be Liberated at Santa
Monica-Protected by Law
Until March, 1893

w. r. Stearns, a representative OF the
state board of fish commissioners, ar
rived here yesterday with two coops Of
Mongolian nheasants which are to be
liberated in this part of the state. Each
of the coops contained five pairs of
birds. One of them is for this county
while the other was sent to San Diego.
third coop was left at Fresno by Mr..
Stearns on his way south, and the birds
it contains will be liberated there.
The pheasants were secured by the
fish commission from Oregonan and large
number of them are to be distributed
throughout the state. Those sent to Los
Angeles county are to be liberated near
Santa Monica, but they cannot be hunt
ed at once. The law of the state pro-
tects them until March, 1899, by which
time it is expected that they will have
increased in numbers so that they may
be hunted without danger Of extermina
tion.
The pheasant is distinctly a prairie
bird and is seldom found in or about tim
ber. They like the tall grasses, ferns,
stubble fields and low bushes and are
great favorites with the sportsmen. The
plumage of the cock almost rivals that
of the pea-fowl in beauty. His prevail
ing colors are gold and bronze with
touches of black. He has a clear white
ring about the neck. The head and up
per part of the neck is of blush green
or changeable shade similar to that Of
the mallard duck.
The penalty for shooting these pleas
ants before the protection which the law
now provides for them Is removed, is
very severe. If the sportsmen of the
county will combine and prosecute all
persons who may violate this law by the
spring of 1899 there will be almost as
many pheasants in this county as there
are now quail.
