Rain at colusa
Colusa-Rain commenced early this
morning and up to tonight 10 Of an inch
had fallen. Indications are for more
tonight, Summer fallow shows healthy
growth, not suffering for moisture.
Farmors have delayed plowlng, wait
ing for heavy rains, but now all are
blowing and find the ground I'm very
good condition. There is much suffer
ing among cattle and sheep on account
of the scarcity Of feed
Yieka-Since the general fall of snow
ten days ago conditions are brighter,
although the weather during this
storm period has been colder than for
sixteen years up to yesterday. when the
snow began melting. Grain has not
sproWed and there is danger Of winter
killing.
Napa-The condition of crops i'm Napd
county is good at present. More grain
has been sown than usual for this date
owing to comparatively dry winter so
far Grain is now comirg up well in
the field. Pasture Is lair but needs
more rain. The fruit trees have not
yet begun to bud out.
santa Rosa-Crop prospects for
SonOma county are very satisfactory.
Considerable grain has been sown,
most of which is in good condition, and
feed is coming ON. Pruning is in
progress but not much orchard or
vineyard plowing has been done.
Marysville--On account of the lack
of rain scarcely any winter grain is in.
Farmers are unable to plow except in
few localities. 1T will soon be too
late. Summer fallow has not started
growing except in a few favored spots.
Some farmers claim the seed has
rotted, while others say the spring
rains will give good crops from the
seed planted, although the acreage
sown must necessarily be much smaller
than usual.
Red Bluff-Owing to the 1ateness of
the rains and the extremely cold
weather which prevailed here all fall,
Tehama county crops will probably be
considerably less than usual. Feed in
all sections has scarcely begun to show
and cattle and sheep all over the
county are suffering. Sheepmen are
feeding corn and cattlemen are figur-
ing on how to keep stock alive until
feed comes. Scarcely any winter-sown
grain has been put in.

BOYDS Md, April %, 1905.
The daring hold up of Mr.. w. Scott Kuhn
of Baltimore by three robbers yesterday
evening near Point of Rocks caused great
excitement in the community. Mr. Kuhn,
1t Is stated, had about 800 in his possession,
part cash and the rest in checks on the
Second National Bank of Baltimore. He
promptly handed the goods over. He was
first accosted by a stranger who endeavored
to engage him In conversation, and
quickly two others entered on the scene.
and, with revolvers in their hands, held Mr..
Kuhn while the others rfled every pocket.
Up to late hour this evening no informa-
ton had been had Of the robbers, except
that they had come near Washington june
ton, and separated, going in different direc-
lions, 1t Is supposed, after making the
division.
The residence of Mr.. James Baker near
Point of Rocks caught fire at noon yester-
day and but for the prompt discovery it
would have burned down with all contests.
The discovery resulted In flames being ex-
tfnguished without much damage of conse-
Quence to the home.

Turner came out he drew a weapon and
fired. shooting the old man, who died half

UPPER MARLBORO, April %, 1906
Proceedings were Instituted here FRI
day for an injunction to restrain the board
OF liquor license commissioners, Messrs
Raymond A. Heiskell. M. +. Tighe and w.
s. Ryon from issuing any licenses In Prince
George county. The court will hear the ap-
plication next Tuesday. Two laws were
passed at the late session of the legislature
affecting the granting of liquor licenses In
the county, which. 1t Is said, apparently
conflict in important particulars. One of
these creates board of liquor license COM
missioners to Issue licenses. Another law
directs the clerk of the court to issue the
licenses, and the Injunction proceeding Is
for the purpose of deciding which of the
laws should prevail. There Is also some
question as to how the law affecting
Bladensburg and Hyattsville districts viii
apply. In these districts material changes
were made in the requisites necessary to
obtain license and also In the method of
issuing them. Both the laws first referred
to require that licenses shall be issued

in his praise of Golden Seal root,
especially for its tonic effects in con-

NASHVILLE. Tenn. April 30-The poiis-
teal situa tioa In Tennessee Is becoming more
complicated ever. hour. The friends of
Representative Patterson say ne has al
ready won the democratic nomination for
governor. and that II Gov. Cox. by use Of
the state machine. overrides the will of the
people they viii insist on Patterson making
the race anyhow. The adherents Of Gov.
Cox declare that he already has enough
votes instructed for him to win the nomina-
ton on the first ballot. and ridicule the
claims Of the Patterson men.
Good judges declare Judge Bond to be the
most available OF the three and, while he
only has a few instructed votes, the wiser
heads Of the party may bring about his
nomination. This. the republicans say, Is
all the fear the republicans have regarding
the outcome.
1t Is now generally conceded that H. Clay
Evans will be the republican standard-bear-
er. Ine tide IN his favor seems to be swell
ing in every section of the state and 1t is
not believed that even the politicians who
do not like him personally can long with
stand the demands of the masses of the
party. Many Of the large counties in the
first and second districts have already in
dorsed him. and there is strong talk that his
competitor for the nomination, q Mr.. Wright,
will soon announce his withdrawal from the
An unfortunate thing for Mr. Evans has
arisen curing the contest. Men whose po-
liticaI stars had apparently set have taken
advantage of the Evans tidal wave to adj
vance their own political fortunes by culti-
waiting antt-Brownlee and anti-Hale booms
In the strong republican section Of east
Tennessee, and while this has created
schisms In few of the republican counties
1t is believed that these things will pass
away and that as the campaign progresses
that section of the state will ring with the
personal sayings of Parson Brownlow. Hor-
ace Maynard and Leonidas c. Honk and
the result will be that east Tennessee will
give the largest republican majority in Its
history. Representative Hale, it Is claimed,
pledged himself to Mr.. Wright before he
knew that Evans would be candidate and
while 1t is certain that ne will keep his
word. II Mr.. Wright continues In the race,
1t is almost as certain that he will make no
fight to stem the Evans tide that has ap-
parently set in in his district.
Representative BroWnlow is regarded as
one of the greatest politicians the repub-
ncan party in the south has ever produced,
but. 1T is declared, he will make q mistake
II he undertakes to check the stampede to
Evans for governor. 1t is the general opin-
Ion that the leaders Of the party, who have
no other object than the success Of the re-
publican organization will have matters so
adjusted that the Brownlow and Evans adj
herents will be marching shoulder to Shout
der under one banner before election day
and II there is sufficient wisdom In the party
to bring 1t about 1t will prove to be- a dark
