SAN FRANCISCO, June 6-The mys.
terry Of the disappearance OF S?5, 900

Ed. Register-The furious rain and

stones being unusually large. Con-
siderable injury was done by the hail
to fruit trees and to gardens.
II "a wet May, harmful of hay" is
| a true saying, we shall all surely have
hay in abundance this year; for so
| frequent and ground-soaking have the
rains been, that they kept the fields too
wet to pillow in during the greater part
of the past month. Hence farmers
| throughout this section of the country
most of whom were already "behind-
hand" with their work-were prevent
ed from planting and sowing during
nearly one-half of the month. Conse-
quently, much of the complaining
hereabouts was deferred until this
| week and this means much to the
farmers, for not only are their corn
crops belated, but they will urgently
need thorough cultivation at the very
time that harvesting will have to be
done; the attendant push and worry
will sorely try the powers of endurance
of farmers, especially as it will then be
hot and enervating

A Complaint.

Dear Mr.. Edttor-Newspaper editors
are usually SO kind and sympathetic
that one often feels like going to them
with their troubles, as to a father-con-
fessor.
My grievance is this. have pri-
gate yard around my house Gas other
people have) for the priUate use of my
family. A great many inconsiderate
people have taken it into their heads
that they own the place, and invade it
by day and by night; roam around at
pleasure, disturb us and our neighbors
by loud and unseemly noises and con-
duct; strew the place with litter;
throw stones at the birds and on the
grass to the ruin of my moving ma
chimes, disfgure the summer houses.
and run over the lawn Unfortunately,
utterly regardless of rules and printed
notices.
Perhaps worst of all, some young
people (both sexes) sneak in after dark,
hide or loaf about in the dark places
under the trees. This spring surpass-
es all my worst experience of this kind
in the past. Now my patience and
1OI OCaTduCS are CAuduSI0u, anu l. dp-
peal to you and the considerable public
to aid me in putting stop 20 this.
Sylvan Lake grounds" is a priVate
gard, and not public park. $
Quiet, orderly people can visit the
spring and the monument for a few
minutes in day time, but not after dark.
l do not propose to allow my grounds
to be made night loafing and TRUSTING
place. l do not object to young ladies
and gentlemen spending a short time
on the grounds boating now and then
during day time if quiet and orderly;
but they must remember it is simply
prtvate yard. and not a place to play
or loaf.
AS my notices and requests are
treated with contempt, / now give fair
to night intruders to keep out;
that shall hereafter treat intruders
at night as burglars, and will use my
shotgun. or pat them in the hands of
the Sheriff. l am tired of this annoy
ance. Take warning and keep out.
