The Prohibitionists are in the field

concerning the party they belong to,
but solely in reference to honesty,
sobriety and integrity. There are
rascals in every party there are
honest men in all parties. The party
that presents candidates who are
true Americans, honorable, capable

will be the candidates the people

Left-Handed Animals.

1t is we'll known that left -handedness
has often been observed in animals.
According to Vierordt, parrots seize
objects with the left claw by preference
or exclusively. The lion strikes with
the left paw, and Livingstone gave it
as his opinion that all animals are left
handed. Prof. Jordan has recently ver-
ified the statement with regard to par
rots. He found that this bird makes

robber as having been Sharp. The. time
keeper was simply mistaken, as the
dead man was a well-known thief, and
previous to his demise served a term
in the Redding Jail.
Sheriff Houston further said that. so
far as known by him, Sharp is an hon
est, Industrious young man, against
whom there is not a breath Of suspi-
cion.
And so ended the case which was
the sensation of the hour. Sheriff Hous-
ton was evidently not explicit in his
communication to Chief Lloyd The
latter cut out work for Chief Drew
which the Sacramento officers perform
ed in the latest approved style. and j.
c. Sharp spent a day in the City Jail

STRAIGHT AT LAST
The following dispatch was received
| late last night, showing that the Oak
| land police have at last got on the right
| track:
OAKLAND, Jan. 81. c. Sharpe of
| Oakland is not the robber who was killed
| two weeks ago while attempting to rob
| the station agent at Keswick, Shasta
County. He is a reputable young man
and very much alive, according to Chief
| Of Police Lloyd Word had been sent
: here that the murdered robber was J..
| G. Sharpe of Oakland.
J. c. Sharpe of this city left here with
| his friends George Bartlett and t. j.
| Blaess, for Trinity County during the
gold fever last August. Sheriff Houston
| of Shasta asked Chief Lloyd to investi-
gate the matter, and this has been done.
Bartlett and Blaess returned to their
homes in Oakland last October and are
still here.
Sharpe went to Sacramento, where
he still is. Chief Lloyd finds that all
three of the young men are good work
men and bear good characters. Word
has been sent to Shasta County that
there will have to be another ''identifi-
cation of the dead robber.

The benefits to be derived from the
use Of the Turkish or Hammam baths
are Well known. In the larger cities of
the East, as well as in those of the old
| world, the massage and perspiring
baths have had the highest approval of
physicians. Massage is the manipu-
/ lation Of muscles and tissues. Our an
ceStors from the age of Herodotus en-
ployed the massage treatment regularly
to keep themselves in good physical
! health and vigor. The massage is
natures own restorative for those
whose muscles are insufficiently exer-
clsed. An erroneous idea prevails to
some extent that the bath is principally
employed by persons recovering from
debauch. This is far from true, as in
the most refined communities these
baths are used freely by brain workers.

The supreme court has affirmed the
decree. of the York county court in
throwing out three ballots Improperly
marked in an election in Newberry
township, of that county. The contest
ant was candidate for assessor on the
Republican ticket, and claimed that he
would have been elected had the three
ballots been counted. Each of the bal
lots in dispute contained a cross mark
ed in the circle at the head Of the Re
publican column. In the same column
of each ballot the name of certain
candidate for township OFFICES was
erased and crosses placed i'll the Demo-
cratic column. For this reason the
York court decided the ballots to be
Illegal, and the supreme court affirmed
the decision.
