WALTERS WILL BE
ARRAIGNED TO-DAY
Preliminary Examination Of the
Slayer of Alfred Cook
at Napa.

NAPA, Jan. 25.-In view OF the large at
tendance expected the preliminary ex-
animation of Jesse Walters, charged with
the murder of Alfred Cook, will be held
tomorrow morning in the rooms of the
Superior Court instead of Justice Brad
ford's courtroom.
In the opinion of District Attorney Bell
Walters hearing will not take more than
a day, though Attorney Beerstecher of
the defense declares it probably will re-
quire more time.
I. Metcalf who was negotiating with
ex-Sheriff Mckenzie for a horse in the
latter's stable at the time Cook was kill
ed will be the first witness called by the
prosecution. 1t is stated no new witnesses
will be called in this case, though in the
case of Mckenzie new and important tes-
timony will be submitted by persons who
did not appear before the Coroners jury.
McKenzie's examination probably will
continue several days.
Attorney Beerstecher said this after
noon that his course in the proceedings
Tomorrow would be largely governed by
the action of the prosecution. No wit
nesses have yet been subpenaed for the
defense Whether any are called at all
for the preliminary examination will de-
pend on developments
Mckenzie has not yet been able to pro-
cure the $25, 900 required for his release,
though he has been out each day, accom-
panied by a Deputy Sheriff, seeking
friends who are willing to go on his
bond.

SAN JOSE Jan. 25.-In all probability
San Jose and Alviso will be connected
by a railroad before the close of the
coming summer. The survey was COM
pleted and the grade stakes set two
years ago for the Santa Clara Valley
Railway between the two places, and
| the rails, iron, tools, fish-plates, piles
and ties have been stored at Alviso
since that time. A right of way for
the entire distance of nine miles, with
the exception of 500 feet, has been OBJ
tanned. An acre and a half of ground
on North First street, within two blocks
| of the Hotel Vendome, will be the ter
minal and depot grounds in this city
At Alviso the company owns sixty-six
acres of water front, giving it a 'front.'
| age of one and half miles on the
! slough.
The Santa Clara Valley Railway
/ Company was incorporated on August
/ rs, 1895, with a capital stock of $780,
600. About half of this stock was sub
scribed and active operations COM
menced. The right of way and ter
mtnals were procured and the material
for the road purchased, and then the
funds gave out and work had to be
abandoned. Piper, Alden, Goodall & Co.,
owners of steamers on San Joaquin and
| Sacramento rivers, are largely interest
ed in the project and are now endeavor-
ing to obtain stock subscriptions
amounting to 5000 in this county to
aid in finishing the road. If this can
be done they agree to add a like sum,
and claim that $4,000 will equip and
put the road in running order. In case
the stock be subscribed within sixty
days they agree to commence work
within thirty days after that time. Be
sides the right of way and terminals
there is nearly 900 worth of track
material on hand. The funds raised
will be devoted to laying track, equip
ing the road, building warehouses and
dredging the channel along the water
front at Alviso.
At the meeting Of the Board of Trade
on Friday evening the directors will be
asked to give their support to the pro-
! ject. H. r. Thayer, the secretary of the
company, will be present and explain
| the situation. 1t is more than likely
a mass meeting of citizens will be called
in the near future to take some action
toward raising the money.
| The completion of the road means
boom for San Jose. AS it is, a great
deal of freight is received and shipped
by way of Alviso and this route has
been the means of reducing railroad
rates. AssembIyman Arnerich has in
troduced a bill in the Legislature to ap-
propriate $25, 900 to improve Alviso har-
Dor, and should this become a law and
the railroad be built, the Importance
of San Jose'S harbor would be in
creased a thousand fold

What's Doing in "Toboc."

In a small way tobacco harvest com
menced the latter part of last week
throughout the growing sections of
Vernon county. The work will be at
its height by the close of this week.
The harvest period will be quite extended
because of very neven growth.
We learn that local buyers have al
ready done riding and are buying crops
in the fields.
The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter says
of conditions in that vicinity and else
where in tobacco sections: The condi-
ton of the growing tobacco crop is i'm
proving. The cool weather that has
followed the recent showers has had a
tendency to give the plants a better
spread that will eventually make the
fields that showed a disposition to spindle
II week ago much larger leaf than was
anticipated. Some encouraging feat
ures of the present crop is the almost
entire absence of worms, and grass
hOppers have done little if any damage
odate. Then the absence of hail storms
generally throughout the tobacco sec
ton has given the growers less concern
than usual. The writer cannot recall a
season when there has been less injury
from hail to the tobacco fields AZ the
record furnished to date. So the outlook
atpresent is for an unusually sound crop.
What tobacco that has been harvested
at this writing was at least never equaled
in point of soundness almost every leaf
being a perfect me. The harvest will
become quite general throughout all
sections the coming week.

O. q. MUNSON, Editor and Proprietor.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 90, 1899.
A MAN OF THE TIMES.

Fifty years ago last May Senator
Knute Nelson, then six years old, sailed
with his mother from Norway to the
United States. On Monday the senator
started to visit his native land for the
first time in the half century that he
has been a citizen of his adopted coun-
try. The senator will spend two
months in the old world aud will visit
Great Britain and travel generally
through Norway, Sweden and Den
mark, and will also visit England, Scot
land and Ireland. Among the first
places the senator will seek out is his
native town of Bergen, Norway, where
he was born, fifty-six years ago. He
left that place with his widowed mother
as a lad of six and arrived in Chicago in
1849. There are few of the sturdy sons
of Scandinavian stock who have con-
tributed so much to the upbuilding of
the great northwest who could return
to their native land with such a record
as has Knute Nelson.
When he arrived with his mother i'll
1849 they were almost penniless and
really $35 in debt, being money borrowed
to enable them to come to this country.
Locating neal Deerfield, Wisconsin, get
ting a common school education, running
away from school to enlist in the army
Of the Union, in which he served as a
private soldier for three years, taking up
the legal profession and gaining honors
in the political field by serving in the
Wisconsin legislature and later in the
legislature of Minnesota, and then in
congress from the state, and after serv-
ing as governor, going to the United
States senate, is a record which must be
gratifying to the senator as he starts
back to view his native land and take a
hriaf rast from the labor Of a huSy life.

AMONG THE BRETHREN.

Just a little ridiculous was the error
made by the CENSOR in a recent issue,
announcing the marriage of Editor
Meyer of Boscobel Dial. The card N
veyed the intelligence Of the arrival of a
daughter in the family, but the CENSOR
was too old-fashioned to catch on. This
blunder has a parallel in a La Crosse
paper, which recently said of a citizen
who died suddenly, that the man 'evi-
IDENTIFY lived but a moment or two after
his death"
Our newspaper friend, w. H. Bennett,
for twenty-five years editor of the Min
eral Point Tribune, has assumed entire
management of The State, published at
Madison. We congratulate the leaders
of that paper and republicans of Wiscon-
sin on this move. Mr.. Bennett is an in
dependent, able and fearless writer.
With the proper financial support the
State will be a power in shaping public
ends.
M. V. Frazier has purchased the
Hillsboro Sentry from WV. Shear, and
assumed management last week. Mr.
Frazier is a good printer and local writer,
and will doubtless give the people a
creditable paper. Hillsboro is an ex-
cellent point for a local sheet. The
CENSOR extends best wishes to the in
coming and outgoing editors.
The La Crosse Republican-Leader is
getting to the front commendable. In
news service, editorially and in its local
field the paper is serving its constituents

observing man and a worker. mas for

The Soldiers Grove Advance has been
purchased and will be taken possession
Of next week by G.. L. Miller & Son,

gentlemen are good newspaper men and
will make their new property a wide

Miller has proved himself a fine local
Photographer during his connection with
the De Soto Herald. The CENSOR is
not advised what will be the future of
