HoBsoN PASSED THROUGH.
A Crowd Was at the Depot to We'll
come Him.

Lieutenant Hobson, the hero Of the
Merrimac episode at Santiago harbor,
passed through this city yesterday
afternoon on q special train on his way
to San Francisco.
The train stopped about three minutes
while an exchange of engines was made,
and about 80 people who had assem-
bled to welcome the young officer sur
rounded the car and called for Hobson
When he made his appearance a cheer
rent the air, and the crowd pressed
around him to shake his hand Sac
r2mento girls, however, are not as emo
tional as those of Kansas City, and the
gallant young sailor was not the reci-
pient of any kisses.
He was modest and self-contained.
and in answer to a remark said that
neither he nor any other man was to be
praised for the sinking of the Merri-
mac, for it was a matter that pertained
to the whole navy, and showed the
status Of every man in the navy and
army, and the spirit that animated
every one of them.
AS the train moved off the crowd gave
three cheers for Hobson, and dispersed.

COUNTY SETTLEMENTS,
Only Eight Have So Far Squared
Their Taxes With the State.

Owing to the fact that over forty
counties have claims against the State
for back commissions and fees for
handling the State taxes, and that the
attorneys handling the claims have
advised those counties not to make
their annual settlements until their
claims have been allowed, only eight
counties have settled up to date.
The counties which have paid in
their quota of taxes are as follows:
SoIano $40. 144.S2. Lake $12,34525, AL
pine 81, 7G0. 24, Mono S5,91S96, Contra

Pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago had severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. | could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in wretched
condition. | procured bottle of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions, and at the end of fifteen daysw as

scHIFFMANN IS A cINcH.
Will Get as Many Votes as the Othe
Two Together.

Will Get as Many Votes as the Other
Two Together.
After the decision of the district court was
rendered. last evening, one of the best in
formed political observers in this town made
the prediction that Schiffrnann would have
more votes than both of his opponents.
He sat down and ana.yzed the vote ward BY
ward for several years back. He figured the
Citizens the short end of it wherever there
was room for contention; he only claimed as
many for Schiffmann in the First ward as
Cullen got there two years ago; he weighed
the Independent vote Of Ham Davidson four
years ago, and concluded like this:
You can't figure It. that Schiffmann will
get any less votes in the First ward than
Cullen did. Erwin won't get vote In that
ward that Cullen got, and the best he can do
Is to get what he can Of the vote that Doran
got.
THE same is true Of the Fifth ward-the
worst Schiffmann can possibly get is the Gull
len vote.
1.-The widest of the Republicans do not
claim that Kiefer is going to do as well in
there is in sight in the Eighth ward is a
split like the Cullen vote-remember that
believe that Schiffmann will carry the ward
by good plurality am putting it at it's
worst aspect when / say that Schiffmann will
get the Cullen vote. Let the rest of the town
take care of itself.
You'll see that the worst Schiffmann can
lock- for is the Cullen vote. There is no SPOT
on the road where 1t is possible for him to
get less than that. Well, Cullen got nearly
10000 votes. Give Schiffmann that and he
has very close to majority over the other
two. There will be 21,0OO votes cast, at the
outside, and the difference between the Gull
len vote in the Sixth ward and the vote that
Schiffmann will get over there, and the doctor
has a clear majority in sight The Cullen
vote didn't leave town; 1t was composed of
tax payers. don't think you can find me a
will vote for Erwin, and that settles the mat
ter.
1.-The result is the only cinch that has came
off before election in this town in my mem
ory."

THAT GUESSING CONTEST.
Democrats Shouldn't Be Caught by
That Dispatch Trick.

Democrats Shouldn't BE Caught by
That Dispatch Trick.
An attempt is being made by the Kiefer
Erwin organ to trick voters out of their right
to vote at the election by inducing them pub
licly declare what their intentions are.
The trick is in the form of a guessing con-
test, in which prizes are alleged to be offered
to the person who shall guess the closest tn
the number Of votes; that are TO be cast for
each of the candidates for mayor. There il
condition attached to the privilege of mar
tfcipating in the contest, the right to publish
the name of the person guessing and his
guess.
The guessers would of course be guided
very largely by their own predictions in
making guesses, and the publication of their
names attached to the guess might be inter-
preted as violation of the election law pro
viding for the absolute secrecy of the ballot,
The contest may be trick to secure the ex-
posture OF persons who do not guess as though
they were going to vote right, and the publ
cation OF the names might be the preliminary
step to the challenging of such votes as
were not in line with the ideas of the orig.
inators of the guessing contest.
If the object of the party managers. who
have invented this means of securing some
adequate knowledge of how people feel. doe,
not go so far as this, it is meant to discover
the attitude of some considerable number of
