SET UPON BY INDIANS.
Ukiah Blacksmith Beaten and Shot at
in Round Valley.

Covelo-Frank Layton, the proprie-
tor of a blacksmith shop at Ukiah,
while visiting the Round Valley Indian
reservation for the purpose of inspec-
ton, became bewildered and seeing a
group Of Indians, stopped to make in.
quiries to the road to the reservation,
and was set upon by the Indians and
beaten. He finally escaped to the
brush, when a fusillade of shots fol-
lowed his retreat. Layton escaped
badly bruised.
A famous medicine man named Wah-
mooh is responsible for the hostile
demonstration. Excitement is intense,
and fears of an Indian outbreak are
entertained.
Wahmooh and his band have eluded
pursuit by the Indian police, and have
escaped to the Trinity Hills. The civil
authorities are awaiting action of the
government officials before taking Il
hand in it, the rule being not to in
terefer in Indian affairs for unlawful
acts committed ON the reservation.

Affected bv Men.

Men have their little affectations, as
well as women. Among the latest is
that of. turning the toes in. 1t is very
impressive. With feet shod in the extra
heavy and extra-big boots. so fashion
able just now, and accompanied by the
popular peg-top trousers, the turned-in
toes are at their awkwardest. 1t is all
on account of the game of golf. Much
golf makes one pigeon-toed, as is
proved by the devotees of the gamA
Instinctively in driving and swinging
the feet veer inward, and before long
they point that way off the links as
well as on them. This principle 0nce
established, the next step was that all
ambitious to become golfers should
turn their toes in. Then everybody who
hoped to be taken for golfer began to
turn his toes in, and finally all those
who blindly do a thing just because
everybody else is doing it, and no mat
ter how ugly and senseless the thing
may be, became pigeon-toed.

TRIPLE OHIO TRAGEDY.

Canton, GA terrible triple tragedy
occurred three miles east of this city
resulting in the death of Edward Eek
niger, his wife and three year old
daughter. Neighbors discovered the
bodies of the three lying upon the bed
in the Eckinger home.
Mrs. Eckinger evidently first shot
her husband and daughter with shot
gun, and then tried to commit suicide
by gashing the veins in her wrist with
a knife. The latter apparently proved
too slow or too painful, as the woman
put third charge in the gun and shot
herself through the heart.
Eckinger was rs years of age, and
a farm laborer. Lately he has been
drinking quite heavily, and frequent
quarrels took place. Mrs. Eckinger
was % years old.

The relation Of the cigarette to crime
was the subject Of some startling sta
tistics presented before the National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
tions at Cincinnati. OF the boys in the
Illinois State Reformatory between the
ages of ten and fifteen, 90 per cent.
were confirmed cigarette smokers, and
IS per cent. so addicted to the habit,
at the time Of their conviction, as to be
termed cigarette fiends" by the court.
The superintendent who compiled these
figures asserts that the cigarette works
tenfold more injury to the boy under
fifteen than do intoxicating liquors,
and more than any other one factor
starts him on the road to criminal llre.
While it Is true that not every cigarette
fiend becomes a criminal, the fact re-
mains that the habit Is acquired
through evil associations; 1t involves
demoralizing deception on the part OF
the boy at home; and by enfeebling
health and will makes the lad an easy
prey to temptation. Prof. De Motto
of Bryn Mawr, visiting tobacco house
in Brazil, noticed black fluid trickling
slowly into the vat Of tobacco about tc
be made into cigarettes. Upon asking
what it was he was told, Rum, mo-
lasses and opium, to give spice to the
cigarette" These are specific facts
which admit of no controversy. De
ductions thereupon can be easily made
by every reader.

HOLIDAY FOR CALIFORNIANs.

San Francisco-It was decided at the
joint conference of representatives
from the Native Sons and Daughters
with the Citizens Reception commit
tees that Governor Gage be asked to
set aside holiday the second day af-
ter the arrival in the bay Of the trans
port Sherman with the California reg
iment from the Philippines.
The program contemplates a naval
parade on the afternoon of the troops
arrival, with a grand illumination at
night of the shipping in the harbor.
Next morning the Fighting First" is
to disembark. and after breakfast with
their relatives at the ferry depot, march
with military escort to the Preside,
where they will be given leave to spend
the remainder of the day as they please
which will undoubtedly be at the
homes they left to fight for their coun-
try.
That night the electric light display
will probably be made in their hon
or. The next night comes the big pa
rade, when all the organizations, civic
and military, in San Francisco, rein
forced by many from the surrounding
towns. will march with the California
heroes under the canopy of incandes-
cent light, to be acclaimed by a city
full of people and be received by the
Mayor and possibly the Governor.

The poem, Backward, turn back
ward, oh Time in thy fight, make me
a child again just for tonight" has its
desired answer every summer evening
when in the cleaning the children en-
act those singing games that never
change from one generation to another.
1t is a very blase soul that does not
respond to the strains Of Here we go
round the mulberry bush," while the
dangers and perils incident to the I'M
minent collapse Of London bridge thrill
the adult listener just as in the days
of yore when he or she puzzled long
over the choosing Of gold house with
diamond windows or ruby steamboat
with silver seats. AS we sit In the twi-
light and the strains Of 1--WE come to
see Miss Jenny a-Jones" float In
through the open window we obl1ter-
ate the past that intervenes between
childhood and the present and enter
with real zest into the .accumulative
woes Of the young person who begins
by being "Very we'll, thank you," and
ends the week in a ghostly chase after
her inquiring friends that is just as
thrilling to the participants to-day as
it was quarter Of a century ago. "Wa-
ter, water, wild flower, growing up so
high, we are all young ladies and all
expect to die" etc., carries back to her
childhood days the woman whose little
folks now shrilly chirp the funny old
rhyme and she wonders what has be-
come of the youth whom she chose at
the singing Of the lines 'Fie, fie-fe for
shame, turn your back and tell your
beau's name." The necromancy Of
these melodies that never change in
themselves can change the grown-up
to the child In the twinkling of a re-
frain. Thoughts long banished, memo
ries dead, are revived as the childish
voices in their uncertain treble sound
upon the summer night. We forget to
light the lamp, we sit in the shadow yet
reveling in the sunlight Of days long,
long ago before we had reached the age
when it was deemed consistent to put
away childish things. We sit and
dream, the noises in the street subside,
the little ones have been called indoors
to bed, but Time has turned backward
in it's flight and for one night we have
been children again.

DEAD IN HER BED.

San Francisco-Mrs. DR.. E. G. Dunn
Of Fresno was found dead in bed at the
Grand Hotel. There was nothing to
indicate suicide, and pending an autop-
sy the cause of death is unknown. She
appeared to be under the influence of
Liquor, when she came to the hotel, and
said to the clerk that she was tired
and wanted to rest until o'clock,
when she desired him to call her.
There was half-filled flask of liquor
on the table, and a towel had been
hung over the doorknob. The body
was taken to the morgue, but later, at
the request of Fulton G. Berry of Fres-
no, it was removed to a private under
taking establishment.

and boxes took place for the benefit Of
the fund to be used in the entertain
ment and reception Of the returning
California regiment.
The auction commenced after a brief
address by Mayor Phelan, who con-
fined his remarks to the noble quail
ties of the First California volunteers
and of the necessity Of giving them a
fitting reception on their return from
the Philippines. The mayors remarks
were greeted with great applause.
Auctioneer Wendell Easton took the
stand and added his remarks to those
of the mayor, then the sale began.
The first bid for the first box was
$50. This sum was rapidly raised to
1915 by Mrs. Townsend and others. 1t
looked as If the box would go to Mrs.
Townsend for that sum, but no, she
was willing to pay an even $1,000 for it
and raised her own bid, securing the
box. The second box was put up, and
again Mrs. Townsend outbid her COM
petitors, this time offering 1925 for
the box. The spirited bidding of Mrs.
Townsend created furore, and rounds
of applause greeted her efforts to in
crease the fund.
The mayor was the highest bidder
for the third box, he making a single
bid of $1,000 for the privilege of occu-
pying the box with his friends on the
afternoon of August II, when the mon
ster entertainment will be given. G. B.
Stone secured another box for $3.50.
Other boxes went for $225 and so on
down to $75 The sale of seats will
net very large sum.
While the soldiers were at Camp
Merritt, before they left for the Philip
uines, Mrs. Townsend donated $4,000
for their benefit. She gave Mrs. Har-
rington of the Red Cross society, $1,000
in aid of the work undertaken by the
society, and Mr.. Carmany of the Sav.
ings Union paid out $4,000 for her.

ton to their love affair as the cause.

What is the longest day Of the year?
The answer commonly is: June 21; as
the shortest day is supposed to be
Dec. q. But that is not infallible, by
any means. This year, for instance,
June 10 and 20 were both longer by a
whole minute than was the 21st. Byron,

who had fallen into his hands during

put to death, and they were accord
ingly taken out and shot.
Only twenty Indians were killed In
the battle, but the official returns gave
it as sixty, accounting for the forty
prisoners as killed in battle.

In his farewell address at Washing

In his farewell address at Washing
ton University, st. Louis, Prof. John
son stated that consumption, diph-
iberia, typhoid and scarlet fever are
caused by preventable infection, and
therefore more than 100000 people in
the United States alone are sacrificed
to ignorance, Indifference, incompet-
ence, or to all combined. In the case of
consumption, pneumonia and diph-
liberia the drying Of expectorations in
street and railway cars, stores, fac
tories, schools, hotels and even in our
legislative chambers has hitherto been
q fertile source of contagion.

Narrow Escape of an Austrian Count
Off Solomon Islands.
Victoria, B. C.-Count Festetics Of
Austria, who, with his countess, has
been cruising the southern seas in the
yacht Tolna, narrowly escaped death
recently at the hands of savages.
The Tolna had been visiting the
larger Solomon islands and the count
took many chances to secure photo
graphs of head hunting battles and
cannibal feasts. when the savages pho
tographed developed sudden and fierce
hostility. The count and his party
became suspicious of them just in time
and, returning to the yacht, were for
tunate in getting favorable wind. AS
it was the cannibals pursued them for
many miles. The news was brought

PROTECT OUR FOOD.

The doctors inform us that alum is
poison, and that alum baking pow
der should be avoided because they
make the food unwholesome. Promi-
nent hygienists, who have given the
matter most study, regard these pow
ders as an evil that should be sup
pressed by state action. In Minnesota
and Wisconsin alum powders are not
permitted to be sold unless they are
branded to warn consumers of their
true character, while in the District of
Columbia the authorities have, under
the direction of congress, adopted
regulations to prohibit the use of
alum in bread altogether:
Are not the people of other states, as
we'll as those of Minnesota and Wis
consin, entitled to warning of a danger
which is apparently menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole coun-
try entitled to absolute protection, as
the people of the District Columbia are
protected, by legislation which is en-
tirely prohibitive.
Until we can have protection in the
form of statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names of the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meanwhile, it will aid the housewife
in designating the alum powders to
remember that all powders sold at
TWENTY-FIVE cents or less per pound are
of this dangerous class. Pure cream
of tartar powders are usually sold at
from forty-five to fifty cents a pound.

Among the Maoris.

Golf has become a favorite game of
the native blacks, or the Maoris, Of
New Zealand. They pick up very
quickly the art Of playing, and they
will ride far to see a game. Some Of
these Maoris are fine big fellows, who
drive tremendously long balls, and
play all day without eating bite. The
women of the race, too, have a cham
pionship of their own, and none of the
white sisters are their equals.
