OUR ATHLETES WON.
Defeated the Strong Acme Club
Team of Oakland.

The Sacramento Athletic Baseball
Club defeated the strong Acme Athletic
team of Oakland at that place yeSter-
day afternoon by a score of 6 to 3. The
Sacramento boys report having had a
fine trip and are loud in their praises
of the hospitable treatment accorded
them by the Acme Club members.
Frank Newbert pitched a great game
for the Athletics but six hits being
made off his delivery three of them
coming in the second inning. He struck
out six batsmen, and gave but one base
on balls The Athletics put up a great
fielding game, but three errors being
scored against them
Will Newbert made one of the most
wonderful stops and throws ever seen
on the Oakland grounds, and Lefevre
made a running catch for Oakland that
robbed Pope out of a three base hit,
and the SacramentanS of three runs.

Can Not be Tolerated.

The fine of 500 and costs which has
been imposed upon shirking soldier of
Company G of the Fifth Regiment,
Ohio National Guard, is severe punish
ment, but no heavier than the case
called for. 1t is a very serious thing
for a soldier to refuse to do his duty,
and dislike of riot service is no excuse
for any man to give when he refuses
perior officers.
But if it is right and proper to in
to respond to the summons of his SUI
fiict severe punishment upon a man
who refuses to answer the call to arms
when the National Guard is needed to
support the laws, what shall be said
of persons who try to persuade soldiers
not to do their duty, or seek to make
military service obnoxious by subject
ing members of the National Guard to
annoyances and insults? It is not to
be questioned that every man who re-
fuses to sell a soldier merchandise at
the usual rates, or interferes in any
way with his comfort and convenience,
or revileS him or denounces his work
for the State, is guilty, in a measure,
of the same sort of misconduct which
brings severe punishment when it takes
the form of a refusal to respond to
the call of his superiors.
No Government worthy of the name
can afford to have the loyal and thor
ough service of it's officers, police or
military. interfered with by persons
hostile to law and order. All such at
tempts to weaken the State must be
put down with vigor. They simply can
not be tolerated.-Cleveland Leader.

HOME AGAIN.
Great Crowds Return From the
Volunteers Reception.

About fifty carloads of people ar
rived from San Francisco last night,
a large portion of whom were Sacra-
mentans returning from the reception
to the volunteers from Manila.
There We're many anxious inquiries
about che city yesterday as to the pos
sible fate of the company of infantry
and troop of cavalry which left here
on Friday morning to help swell the
parading professions in the metropolis.
Not a line appeared in all the pages
published by the San Francisco papers
to show that our 500 contribution of
uniformed military took any part in
the demonstration.
One paper did say that on Friday
Governor Gage was escorted by Com
pany G, but it may have been COM
pany of Milpitas The Supervisors
appropriated $500 and the City Trus-
tees $10O, while some S400 or 5000
additional was subscribed by citizens
to enable the local military to make
a dazzling display down there on be-
half of the Capitol City, yet it was
not until the trains arrived last night
that any one learned what had become
of the Sacramento soldiers.
1t appears they reached San Fran
cisco all right and contributed their
share toward the splendor of the dem
onstration, albeit they were given the
CLASSY eye by the so-called neWspa-
pers of that city.
One of those who went to see the
sights says he had to pay 81 for a COZ
for one night in a room with dozen
other lodgers, and others say they
walked the streets because they
couldn't afford to pay So or 81 for cots.
Meals that usually cost %. cents were
hard to get at from $1.50 to 81.
However, it was a grand demOnstra-
ton, for which the interior paid per-
haps a million dollars, but for which
San Francisco gets all the credit.
The general verdict of those who
witnessed the Saturday night illumina-
tion is that, while it was really mag
nificent, it did not approach the electric
carnival in Sacramento a few years
ago.

MATRoN NEEDED.
None to Care for Female Prisoners
or Patients.

Chief of Police Dwyer is emphatic
in his statement that a lnatron for the
Receiving Hospital is a necessity.
Yesterday morning two women, from
whose faces the light of reason had
departed, were lodged at police head
quarters for safe keeping.
Chief Dwyer notified Sheriff Johnson
and requested that he make room for
the unfortunates in the insane ward
at the County Jail. Sheriff Johnson
had no matron to care FOR the women,
but agreed to get one as soon as pos
sible, though he doubted whether he
had a right to admit patients without
a commitment. as he had no fund on
which to draw for expenses.
There are no fit quarters for insane
patients, either male or female, at the
Police Station. and Chief Dwyer oh
jects to allowing any of his force to
look after and care for the latter. He
states that competent matron can be
secured at an expense not to exceed
$50 per month, and that he has a neat,
cool, well lighted room which car be
fitted up as an insane ward and prop
erly padded at a cost not To exceed
500 He says that hardly a day passes

THE LUMBER COMBINE.

Tho Boulder Association Denies That Its
Prices are Exorbitsnt.
Editor of the Camera
For some time past there has appear.
ed in your paper occasional items in
timating that there is secret combine
among the lumber dealers OF this city by
which prices of building material have
been raised to exorbitant rates. We
consider that such insinuations. appear.
ing in the daily press. are Of a more seri.
Gus nature than you may realize. not only
because of the injustice to the lumber
dealers. but also on account Of the in.
jury to the welfare OF the whole com.
munity. BY such items there has been
fostered popular belief that the cost OF
building here is exorbitant and many are
thus deferred from making improve.
ments who would otherwise do so.
We are unable to understand the ami
mus OF these covert attacks on one of the
leaning industries OF the community.
The local lumber dealers represent an
invested capital of many thousands Of
dollars and give employment and sup
port to more men and families than any
other line Of business in this city. We
therefore feel that it is the duty of the
press if any such rumors are heard,
to first investigate and find out the true
status Of affairs before giving credence
10 them. There is no secret combine
among the lumber dealers Of this city for
the purpose Of raising prices or any
other purpose. That there is a local as
sociation of the dealers in lumber and
building material In this city Is we'll
known to everyone and has been formed
for the mutual protection Of our interests
and the maintenance OF reasonable
prices.
We issue a printed price list at which
prices we sell all material and an exami,
nation Of this list will convince anyone,
who is acquainted with the values Of such
material, that these prices are reasonable
and as 10 v as can be made and still do
business. We have not invested our
money and given our time to building up
= business solely for the public good. but
we do know that we are selling goods at
a lower per cent of profit than is done in
any other mercantile business.
As regards prices it is fact that they
have advanced within the past year on a
great many articles, but it is also a fact
that there has been general advance of
prices all over the entire country. How.
ever it is fact that can be easily proved
that the raise In local prices in this city
is less in proportion that the raise in
wholesale prices. We court investiga.
ton in this matter and will be pleased to
demonstrate. to anyone interested, that
building material can be purchased as
cheaply in Boulder as in any place. SINH.
