YeSterdaY.

War was declared yesterday after
noon about o'clock in this city, and
several shots were fired.
For some time it has been found that
war preparations in the Adjutant-Ge
erals office We're made public, and it
has been thought that there might be
Spanish spy about the building. 1t
was known also that, although zone
swallow does not make a summer the
warm weather has come upon us very
suddenly Under the circumstances
some of the Capitol employees armed
themselves with their trusty breech-
leaders and made reconnaissance.
The supposed spy was found under
the roof of the front portico, on the
second story, and as it was a yellow
owl. it is thought he may have sup
piled some of the yellow journals with
their information. At all events, the
gun cracked and he met his fate with
out time to protest.
In the meantime the Notifications of
the swallows had been attacked and
carried. without loss-except to the
swallows. a prominent State official.

The Sacramento Iroquois Club held
a spirited meeting last night. After
the regular business of the club was
concluded resolutions were adopted in
dorsing the course of General Fitzhugh
Lee in Cuba, also indorsing the action
of Congress in its efforts looking to-

in seeing that justice is done to the
memory of our brave sailors, whose
lives were lost through the treacherous
destruction of the battleship Maine.
In neat speech ]. c. German pre-
sented to the club a fine picture of
Mayor Phelan of San Francisco The
speaker highly eulogized the Mayor as
an honest, capable and progressive cit
izen and official, and a round of ap-
plause followed the conclusion of his
remarks.
The club decided to endeavor to Sc
cure Governor Budd's portrait, also
portraits of many of the past leaders in
the Democratic party.

TWO YOUNG YOLO HEARTS.
They Beat as One, and They Also
Beat the Law.

On the 9th instant a young man
named Charles L. Foster appeared in
the County Clerks Office with a young
woman named Alta Villa and procured
a marriage license. He represented
himself as being p years of age, and
the prospective brides mother, who
said the girl was 16 gave her consent
to the latter's marriage.
Now comes Fosters father, Yolo
County farmer who has invoked the
aid of the police to find his boy, who he
says is but II years old. The girl,
says the elder Foster, is but 10 years.
The probability is that after procur-
ing the marriage license the young
couple left the city for some small
place in the country to get married. The
youths parents might as we'll drop the
matter, unless they want to punish
their son for perjury.

William Young of New York, the

gives this good advice: THE embryo
champion should do plenty of road rid
ing in the spring and do it regularly
every day-no less than five and not
over twenty-five miles each day This
should be discontinued as soon as track
work begins, for road riding stiffens
and hardens the muscles.
Then comes the clean-cut work of
the track rider. and the art of getting
into the best possible physical condi-
tion and keeping in the same. II

LOOKS DARK FOR KELLAR
He is Held to the District Court
in the Sum of $1,000


Prof. George Kellar was given
hearing in Judge Johnson's court
this morning, on the charge of
forgery for which he was arrested
yesterday.
As plea had already been en-
tered, which was that of not guilty,
the case was opened by the ex-
animation of the states witnesses.
Senator Jas. G. johnson, II. @.
McCreery and j. M. Hanks, who
were in November, 1897, secretary,
president aud treasurer, respective
ly of the school board were called
as witnesses. They were shown a
warrant on school district No. 2
bearing date Nov. 80, 1897, made
payoble to @. f. Webber & Co.
and contained the names of the
above officers. This warrant was
mum berered 427.
Each of the three gentlemen
said positively that the signature
pnrporting to be his was not
genuine.
The records also of both the
secretary and treasurer showed
that warrant No. 427 was one
made payable to the Florence
Supply Co. The three
gentlemen all testified that no
warrant of S95 had been drawn to
the Webber people.
County Treasurer Cassidy said
the warrant had been recently
presented for payment, but as it
was suspected of being irregular
it was forwarded to Senator John
son.
w. FL. Mcclure, Canon City
broker identified the warrant as
one which he had purchased of
Prof. Kellar and showed the check
which he had given Mr.. Kellar for
the warrant.
After the states attorney had
rested the case, Prof. Kellar, who
conducted his own defence, said
that he had been engaged for
long time in representing the firm
of @. L. Webber & Co.. and that
he had sold warrants and made col
lections for them. He said he was
positive the warrant was genuine
and offerad in dance a hill which
he said the warrant was drawn to
cover. He was of the opinion that
the voucher showing the payment
of the bill was in existence, and
believed it was in the possession of
Senator Johnson.
The defence producing no evi-
dence in rebuttal of the testimony
offered by the state, the court held
the professor to the district court
in the sum of $1,000.

Injustice to Florence

FL. B. Slater was at Florence
yesterday and reports that in all
there have been II cases of small
pox, but no new cases had occurred
within the last two days. The
present cases are carefully quaran-
tined, so that there is no possibili-
ty of its further spread. The ex-
aggerated rumors of the prevalence
of the disease there have done the
town a great injustice. There is
no danger to be apprehended by
any one III going to Florence on
business. The Clipper, in common
with the people of Canon general
lyy, regrets exceedingly the misfor-
tune which this scare brought to
our neighboring town, and that,
too, in the holiday season. Fortu-
nately the danger is believed to be
over.-Clipper.
