A Disgusted Buyer.

Clothing stores in the small interior
towns of the State carry on their busi-
ness along peculiar lines, unheard of in
similar establishments of this city. A
resident of Remove, who is a Demo-
cratic leader in his native town, jour-
neyed to this city last week. He need
ed a new suit of clothes, and it oc-
CURED to him that he might strike g.
bigger bargain here than would be pos
sible in the store he usually patronized
at home. Accordingly he wandered into
big retail store on Market street, and
explained his. wants The salesman
brought out suit for his inspection.

clan. Fifteen dollars" said the sales

A Clever Politician.

Some men have a genius for poll
tics, and Chapler is one Of them,' re-
marked the old resident. You all know
what a dressy, natty fellow he is, how
fastidiOus in his taste and howl punctil-
iouS in his manners. The first time
that he appeared on the legislative
ticket it was without his knowledge or
consent. 1t was suddenly discovered
that one of the nominees was un-
worthy. The committee deposed him,
and Chapter was substituted. There
was MOI doubt as to- his ability to carry
the city, but there was much uneasi-
ness in the party as to how he would
impress the rural constituency.
Leave that to me- were the assur-
ing words of Chapter. He is scrupulOus-
ly honest in all his private affairs. he
is proud, and did not believe in letting
the people suffer for the want of good
representative, simply because they did
not understand him. When he went
stumping in the country he went in the
garb of a farmer. He did. not go to
the ridiculous extreme occasionally
seen ON the stage, but he discarded
jewelry, saw that his clothes did not
look as though they had been lifted
from fashion plate, wore a soft hat
and heavy boots, against which his
corns were in constant rebellion.
'Even then he looked too much like
a pampered favorite of fortune to cap
ture bucolic critics, and no one dis
| covered the fact more quickly than
Chapter. He arose to the emergency.
Going to the hotel of one of the smaller
towns he invited a number Of neigh
boring farmers to a little lunch He
ate with a knife, drank clear coffee out
of saucer, and never touched the
| napkin placed beside his plate. That
might he blew out the gas in his room,
and was rescued by one of the en-
ployes of the hotel with whom he had
made special arrangements. He carried
the county with a whoop, and is proud
to know how rapidly he has acquired
the ways of the world while retaining
his love for the farmer" Detroit Free

TWO RIBS BROKEN.
Painful Accident TO p. J. Won
LObeu Sells Yesferday

The case of Reclamation District 551
against Bunnell and others was not
argued in Judge Hughes court yes
terday, as had been intended, but was
continued indefinitely, owing to the
inability of P. J. Won Loben Sells. one
of the parties to the suit being un-
able to be present.
Mr.. Won Loben Sells came to the city
Wednesday morning, but was obliged to
leave for his home in Oakland having
received painful injuries in a runaway
accident while on his way from his
ranch to town.
1t seems the neck-yoke broke, partly
disengaging the pole, and his team ran
away with him. They finally struck
levee, breaking the pole. bringing
the horses to a sudden halt and throw
ing Mr.. Won Loben Sells heavily to the
ground. He was badly stunned, but
soon regained consciousness and with
the assistance of a neighbor patched
up the broken pole and resumed his
journey.
Arriving here, Mr.. Won Loben Sells
was suffering so severely that a physi-
clan was called. who found that two
ribs had been fractured. and that Mr..
Won Loben Sells required prompt sur

ADJUSTMENTS. A

There was somewhat larger audi
ence at the Orpheum last night, when
the Henderson Dramatic Company
played Ohnet's splendid drama, THE

twice before, but not better than last
night, though at double the admission
fee now charged. The Henderson COM
pany is finely equipped. It's people are
thoroughly artistic in all they do. There
is no weak timber in the construction
of this fine company. Finish, clean-cut
work, intelligent conception of the de-
mands Of text and naturalness, correct
delivery and emotional strength char
acterize the action and general work
of this we'll balanced organization. It's
men are manly, and it's women hand
some and graceful, and both are thor
oughly capable. That so good a COM
pany should not have more encourage
ment from play-gOers here is much to
be regretted. In THE IrOnmaSter,' -
Miss Fitzallen was an ideal Clare: tall.
handsome, her acting distinguished by
strong emotional effect, she won de-
served commendation, most literally
bestowed. Mr.. Bells lead as Philippe
was faultless. 1t was the full realiZa-
ton of the heroic character of the
authors fancy. The piece was hand
somely staged, all the scenery being
new and artistically adapted. Tonight
by special request, the company for its
last appearance will repeat the success
| of Wednesday night, Dumas "The
| Crust of Society,"" concerning which
| the Record Union fully expressed
itself in approval yesterday. The COM
pany returns at once to San Francisco

THEY WANT A MACADAM ROAD
FARMERS OFFER TO DO THE
WORK ON 1T.
Supervisors Order q New Highway
From Highland Park to the
Ereeport Road.

The Board of Supervisors met yeSter-
day morning, all the members being
present
In the matter of the petition of L. x.
Davis and others for the opening of a
new county road in Road District, NO.
4, which is an extension of the TWen-
ty-fourth street road through High
land Park to the Middle F'reeport road,
the report of the viewers was handed
In, recommending that it be made sixty
feet wide from the crossroad at WINS
Ky Hill to the intersection of the line
With Twenty-fourth street, and from
mat point to street eighty feet Wide
The report also explained that the
new road would materially shorten the
present line of travel from Highland
Park to the Middle Freeport road. The
viewers estimated the cost of construc-
tion of the road at $50, and the cost
or the land for the same at 81, 80
L. r. Davis, John Coppen, Nelson
Gensen and II. P. Peterson were sworn
and testified in favor of the constrUc-
tion of the road.
Moses Sprague opposed the road on
the ground that it would take over two
acres of his land and that he could i'll
afford to part with the same.
On motion of Supervisor Curtis, the
petition was granted, and the proposed
new road was declared public high
way
The committee appointed to report
on the advisability of purchasing the
lot adjoining the County Jail on the
north, belonging to James Touhey, was
given until Wednesday next in which
to report.
S B. Ford appeared before the BOARD
and stated that he had been canvassing
for funds for building macadam road
between Perkins and Walsh's Station if
the county would provide the material.
Ae expected to be able to get about
ST 800. The county road in that local
ity, Mr.. Ford said, is badly cut up by
the heavy teaming.
He presented proposed agreement
signed by the citizens interested and
which it was desired to have thu Su-
pervisors sign the same.
Chairman Morrison informed Mr..
Ford that the Supervisors could not
sign such an agreement, as whatever
the board might do in the matter would
have to be by resolution in open board.
Mr.. Morrison also said that he first
thing to be done would be for the Coun-
Ry surveyor 10 make an eSll1IldlS OI the
amount Of work to be done, the ouan-
tity Of rock required, and the some
thing could be DONE
Supervisor Curtis thought the exper-
iment should be tried ON a single mile,
and then the citizens interested could
form a better opinion of what the cost
would be. "
Chairman Morrison approved of this
md s-a{1 I,,&
that all the members of the board We're
in favor of having the work done on the
terms suggested.
II was finally decided to instruct the
Surveyor to go out and survey one
mile of the road and report an estimate
of the cost.
After passing on q large number Of
claims the board took a recess till this
morning.
