his attentions. At times he asked If she
would live with him in case of her hus-
bands death. Last month he put strych-
nine in his brothers coffee on two oc-
casions, but the brother detected the
poison and had the coffee analyzed by
a druggist. Then, on Thursday morn
ing, George Clark lay in wait for his
brother and shot him while he was pre-
pairing breakfast in the kitchen of his
st. Helena home.
The murderer was brought to Napa.
On Saturday Mrs. Clark told at the in
quest the story of her relations with her
brother-in-law, but George Clark con-
tinued to declare his innocence of the
murder, until he was finally induced to
make full confession, the details of
which do not differ materially from the
facts of the crime already reported and
confirmed by the statements of Mrs.
Clark.

Off-Size Seedlings

The market on seeding oranges is badly
handicapped by the fact that all Seeding
fruit is running to small sizes. Some pack
ers claim that a good standard car of
seedlings is hard to find in any district.
For this reason 1t would seem advisable
for all shipping concerns to give their at
tention to navels, and push them forward,
while the seedlings are given a chance to
grow. They will not grow to any consid-
erable extent, however
These conditions are going to handicap
the orange trade all the season. The reg
ulations governing standard car of seed
lings as adopted by the governing organi-
cations, provide that a reasonable amount
of small off-sizes may be put in each car

Celery and the Cold Snap

The recent cold snap caused some dam
age in the celery districts, especially to the
crops on the low land, says the Santa Ana
Register In some parts of the peat belt
where no effort was made to protect the
plants. the crops have been seriously dam
aged, if not entirely ruined. j. r. Court
right, who has fifteen acres of celery in
the peat land, says that by liberal use
of water he succeeded in saving his crop
from serious damage, but many growers
in his neghborhood will suffer serious
loss from the work of the frost. His crop
is planted in rows four feet apart The
rows are on the crest of small embank-
ments. between which he kept water rum
ming constantly during the cold spell, and
to this protection he attributes his good
fortune in saving his crop.

When it comes to putting in 100 boxes of
$50 size with good quantity of the mar
bles (2SSs and 300s), the eastern trade won't
take them as standard cars, and of course
the growers will find that the packers
and shippers cannot take them. 1t ap-
pears that the regulations governing a
standard car of seedlings will have to be
gone over and rearranged to meet condi-
tions existing this year
No extreme steps should be taken in the
case, and the trade at this end must hold
fast to protect their own interests, which
are the interests of the growers in this
case.
Small size seedlings will have to be sold

Miss Margaret M. Mogeau, superintend-

"Our Public Schools" that proved very
interesting, going back to the time when
the first school house here was built by
placing four cottonwood posts in the
ground as supports for the brush COW
cred roof, no sides being necessary, as
there was no school session when the
weather was rainy or unpleasant. A
very humorous selection, I'm the Days
of 49," a recital by Mrs. Kendall Holt
came next on the program, in which
the early difficulties of mining life, as
depicted by Joaquin Miller, brought out
roars Of laughter. 1.-The National Guard

of Redlands, was a good word for that
branch of modern life in California,
after which recitation by Mrs. r. A..

The early-closing movement among

OWNERS OF SHIPS
Expect to Profit by the Advance in
Wheat

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 24.-The Ex-
aminer says
Local ship owners are preparing to
take advantage of the experience gained
last year and as a result it is prob
able that charters will be higher during
1898 than at any time during the past
ten years. The phenomenal advance in
the price of wheat, together with the
unforeseen demand for vessels to en-
gage in the Alaska trade, brought about
condition in the shipping market for
which owners last year We're unpre-
pared.

ping firms in San Francisco is author

burglars entered the home Of G. w.
Boyer on Gutierrez street, between
Chapala and de la Vina streets, and
stole about $50 or $40 in money and val
uables. They then set fire to the build
ing, hoping to thus remove all traces of
the theft. The fire, however, was ex-
tinguished before the house was greatly
damaged.
The family was at church at the time
and knew nothing Of the occurrence un-
til they returned home after the fire had
been subdued by the department. The
theft was not discovered until this
morning, and then the cause Of the con-
fagration, which had been in doubt, be-
came apparent.
The fire was confined to one room, in
which some furniture and clothing were
burned.

TALL STEEPLE CLIMBING.
The Dangerous Undertaking Has
Come to lie Patriotic Craze
In Vienna.

An extraordinary craze has seized a
certain class of Niennese patriots. Since
the Tyrolese Pircher more than ten
years ago assembled st. Stephens steeple
to fix black and yellow flag at the top,
the feat has been repeated both there
and at the Votive church. Matters,
however, reached their climax recently,
when no fewer than five such attempts
were made in honor of the emperor's
jubile birthday. About nine a. m. q
man heavily laden came to the st.
Stephens tower with two boys carry
ing ladder. With the help of this he
mounted to the roof of the vestry, when
the boys and ladder disappeared. He
then took his boots off and put them in
a bag on his back. He carried, more
over, two large fagstaffs with the flags
rolled round them and d laurel wreath
tied on his back. With all these imped
iments he climbed the outside of the
belfry, and reached the gallery of the
freman's watchroom. Unfortunately
for his plan he had been noticed, and
the police were quickly informed. The
firemen on the tower were instructed
by telegraph to stop him, and when he
reached the gallery hands were
stretched out to catch him He was
taken down the stairs and given up to
the police. The crowd made him the
hero of the moment, and applauded him,
and wished to know his name.
At the same time the two Gothic tow
ers of the Votiye church were being well
watched an anonymous letter having
| informed the police that the rope
dancer Prybil, who brought down the
last flag placed on the tower by an
unknown hand, intended burning fire
works on the eve of the emperor's birth
day on a rope slung from the top of
the towers. At II two men with ropes
and bags approached. The police
stopped them and declared that
the neck breaking experiment could
not be allowed. The men were
