TWO-FoLD EVIL.
The Persistent Despoi1ation Of City
Orange Trees.


This is the season of the year when
the sidewalks are covered with orange
rinds All that pedestrians have to 90
as they walk along the streets is TO
reach out and despoil property owners
ornamental trees of golden-c or
anges strip off the rind and scatter IL
in pieces along the walks.
Yesterday an elderly woman stepped
on a piece of orange or apple skin While
passing through the Plaza and received
fall on the stone walk that would
have killed her if her head had come
in contact with the cement. AS II
was, she was so severely injured tnat
she had to be assisted to her feet.
Most of this mischief is the work OF
boys going to and from school. 1t mas
become such a nuisance in the nelgh-
borhood of schools that members OF
families have to stand guard over their
orange trees during the hours the boys
pass on their way to and from school.
Last week a citizen who has taken
much pride in rearing beautiful orange
trees to- ornament his front yard was
obliged to pick every orange that mad
not already been stolen, leaving ms
trees perfectly bare of the gosden fruit
that had given them such beauty. one
of the chief attractions of Sacramento
at this otherwise gloomy season OF the
year is the bountiful crop of yello"
fruit that ornaments SO many yards and
ELECTS the admiration and wonder OF
Eastern visitors.
1t would seem that some means might
be devised to prevent such wholesale
vandalism, for something more is IN
volved than the mere market value OF
the fruit. If not stolen, most of the
oranges and lemons would be allowed
by the owners to remain on tht trees
all winter Without It's crop of olden
fruit an orange tree is no more orna-
mental than any other evergreen.

FOR WELL PEOPLE.
An Easy way to Keep Well.

1t is easy to keep we'll if we would
only observe each day few simple
rules of health.
The all important thing is to keep
the stomach right and to do this it is not
necessary to diet or to follow a set rule
or bill of fare. Such pampering simply
makes a capricious appetite and a feel
ing that certain favorite articles Of food
must be avoided.
Professor Wiechold gives pretty good
advice on this subject. He says: II am
I6S years old and have never had seri-
Gus illness, and at the same time my
life has been largely an indoor one, but
early discovered that the way to keep
healthy was to keep a healthy stomach,
not by eating bran crackers or dieting
Of any sort; on the contrary, always
eat what my appetite Graves, but for
the past eight years have made 1t
daily practice to take one or two OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal, and I attribute my robust health
for a man of my age to the regular
daily use of Stuart's Tablets.
my physician first advised me to use
them because he said they We're per-
fectly harmless and were not a secret
patent medicine, but contained only the
natural digestiyes, peptones ana di-
astase, and after using them a few
weeks have never ceased to thank
him for his advice.
IT honestly believe the habit of TAX
ing Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals is the real health habit, because
their use brings health to the sick and
ailing and preserves health to the we'll
and strong
Mem and women past 80 years of age
need a safe digestive after meals to in
sure perfect digestion, and to ward
off disease, and the safest, best known
and most widely used is Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
They are found in every well regu-
lated household from Maine to Califor-
mia, and in Great Britain and Australia
are rapidly pushing their way into pop
ular favor.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. full sized pkgs. at 50 cents.
and for a weak stomach a 50-cent pack
Iage will often do $50 worth Of good.

she had reached the alley between NJ

dropping her bundles in order to do

knee and his hands in the mud. She
called for help. and neighbor named

Govan, who was about block away.
The fellow became frightened and ran
away down Sixth street to the alley

BIG STORM ON The HILLS.
THE RIVERS WILL ALL BOOM
THIS AFTERNOON.
Monday Nights Rain Heavy Along
the Foothills, With Snow
ON the Summit.

The local Weather Bureau Office re-
ports show the highest and lowest
temperature to have been SO and 40 de-
grees, with southerly and northerly
winds and cloudy weather prevailing.
The temperatures at a. m and .
p m. We're 50 and 80 degrees.
The barometrical readings at a. m.

The rainfall during Monday night and
yesterday was O.30 of an inch, making
for this month OH Of an inch, and for
the season 1872 inches, as against 1.6l
inches to an equal date last year.
One year ago, on the 18th, there was
O.6O of an inch Of rain.
River 1873 feet and rising.
From the 22d of last December to
the end of the month, the weather was
partly cloudy each day, but without
rain after the 21st.
Reports received from all directions
yesterday told of severe storms of rain
throughout the Sacramento Valley and
along the mountains below the snow
line. In the higher attitudes snow fell
steadily, adding about one foot to that
already on the ground at the Summit.
In the vicinity of Colfax upward of
three inches of rain fell during the
night and all along the watershed OF
the Sacramento and American Rivers
and their tributaries the fall was equal
ly heavy.
Yesterday afternoon, long before the
rain ceased in the valley. the sun was
shining brightly, and clear weather was
reported last night from Dunsmuier, as
we'll as on the Sierras.
The river had already begun to rise
at this point last evening, but by to-
night or tomorrow it will show a heavy
rise. The American, which is fed by
several large forks reaching clear to
the summit of the Sierras, win be
gorged between Folsom and this city.
and ought to reach as great a hight
as Last spring, when 1t poured fifteen
feet over the big dam at Folsom and
swept out thousands of logs from the
American River Land and Lumber
Company's boom east of the State
Prison.
Last evening the water that came
from the hydrants in this city was
heavy with mud. To drink it without
first being filtered was out Of the ques-
ton, and one might as well wash his
face and hands in a hog wallow as in
the stuff that flowed into the wash
stands.
1t is not unlikely that in the upper
river counties some of the low lands
will get a. bath of slickens, but 1t will
probably run off again before any seri-
Gus damage to crops will result.

THE CROKER HOME.
E1ks Say They Have Not Definitely
Declined It.

The last number Of the California
Elk says: "In a recent issue of a week
~ contemporary it was stated that the
local lodge of Elks was forced to de-
cline the tender of the Croker man
sion, so generously offered by Mrs. E.
B. Croker, for the reason that the ar
ranging and maintenance of the same
would necessitate an expense that they
considered themselves unable to meet.
while in the main this statement IS
correct, we desire to say that the local
lodge has by no means dispensed with
the idea that this magnificent offer
must be cast aside for these reasons,
but to the contrary, other endeavors
are being actively made with view
that this handsome property may be-
come that which Mrs. Croker desires
a permanent home for the Elks."

GEORGIA STEWARDS ESTATE.
Conflict Between Deed Of Trust
and a Will.

Judge Hughes yesterday set for hear
ing on the 18th of January the matter
of w. w. Coons against James Stewart
and others. a case involving the disposi-
ton of the estate of Georgia Stewart
a daughter of the late N. Dingley-who
died last June.
Mrs. Stewart had been declared in
competent to manage her portion of the
estate left by her father; so Coons was
named by the court to take charge of
the property, under a. deed of trust the
same to go to her heirs in the event Of
her DEATH
Subsequently Mrs. Stewart made a
will in which she bequeathed all of
her property to her husband, ignoring
her other relatives. On the death of
Mrs. Stewart Coons brought an action
for an accounting against the creditors
and all persons interested.
The question at issue is whether the
deed of trust or the will is to prevail in
the matter of the disposition of the
estate.
