Five-dollar Bill.

New York. July 2S.-The wounded
rough riders now being cared for in
the barracks and hospital on Governors
Island, have been visited by Major
Brodie. He gave each of them a new
s. bank note, by instruction of Colonel
Roosevelt, to pay for minor expenses
and such little luxuries as the men may
wish to buy. Major Brodie also in
formed the heroes that Colonel Roose-
welt would give more money to them
if it were needed. The wounded cav

said:

LIVE STOCK MUST PERISH.
No Grass In California, Except on
the Reservations.

Fresno. Cal. July 2S.-The dry sea-
son has caused great loss to stockmen
on the Sierra foothills. 1t is estimated
that 175.G00 sheep were driven into the
forest reservations after the Withdrawal
OF the United States cavalry some time
ago. Recently a force of deputy mar
shals forced the stock owners to re-
move their cattle and sheep from the
reserved land. Some of the herders
assert that as there is no grass and
little water to be found elsewhere, at
least 100000 sheep much perish of star
walton and thirst.

TAX ON THE COMPANIES.
Shippers Not Required to Tax Bills

Chicago, July 2S.-Judge Tuley. of the
circuit court. today ruled in favor Of
the shippers in the test case brought by
the Illinois Manufacturers association.

pelling the United States Express COM
pany to accept for transportation pack
ages for shipment without the payment
of L cent in excess of the regular rate.
The case will be appealed by the de-
PENDANTS.
The court held it was not within the
domain of the shipper to issue the bill,
and that the law expressly provides
that the person issuing the receipt
shall affix the stamp. Three million
dollars annually is the estimated sum
which the express companies will have
to pay. in case the opinion is sustained

less than 100000 ducats. And with

of so many thousand lives. nothing had
been accomplished and Spain, in a mo-

The Cardinal Champions Did Not Play
Well Enough to Give Berkeley

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.-About 5000
people saw the University of California
freshmen defeat the Stanford freshmen in
IA game of football in Recreation park to-
day by score of 81 to o.
one-sded from start to finish Four times
trampled on their cardinal rivals, until the
game was all over but the shouting. Both
teams appeared in good form. The Berke-
ley men were the stronger throughout and
played better game than was expected
even by their friends, while the Stanford
team went to piec. III the first scrimmage
and offered such poor resistance to the on
slaught OF their opponents that the latter
part of the contest became almost farce.
They realized that their only safety lay
in punting, and even at that their kicks were
returned with big gains. Womblc, the right
end of the University OF California team,
played like tiend and displayed great head
work. The three backs, Moore Faith and
Lippman, put up as pretty a game as was
ever seen among freshmen. Moore especi-
ally showed up in great form. For Stan
ford, Rice did little to relieve the monoto-
ny OF defeat, as he managed to make few
good runs. The game at any time was cas-
lily Berkeley's. The line up was as follows:
Stanford-Sell, |. e.; Beedy, |. t.; Eaton,
