Miss Lizzie Henderson Dead.

Word was received in this city this morning, announcing the death of Miss Lizzie Henderson, a former teacher in the public schools here. Miss Hem derson has been teaching long time, and was one of the best known and most lovable women in the entire dis trict. She numbered her friends by the score, and was always the particular friend of the little children.
 She was reelected to a position in the schools for the present term, and was unable to report for duty on account of an attack of fever, but wrote Secretary Lewis of the Board of Education that she thought she would be able to take up her work by October 1. However, he re- ceived a letter some few days ago which said that owing to her continued illness she would be unable to teach at all this year. She was living in Columbia, s. C., at the time of her death, and had been there for the past summer. The schools were closed at 1 o'clock this afternoon as a mark of respect.

his numerous patrons and patients into

moved his medicines from among secret

them Remedies of Knocn Composition.
By this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are of such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
the fullest scrutiny.

The engine driver, seeing his train

WAR ON ALIENS BY CALIFORNIA.
Sweeping Anti Japanese and Anti
Chinese Measure Passed.


Sacramento, CAL. March 1.-The
lower house of the legislature Thurs
day passed a sweeping Japanese
measure, introduced by Assemblyman
Drew, of Fresno.
The bill is known as the anti-alien
property holding bill. It is aimed at
the Japanese and Chinese property
owners in this state, and is intend
ed to prevent them from acquiring and
owning property for a longer period
than five years. In urging the pass
age of the bill, Drew stated that since
Jan. 1, of this year, one third of the
property transfers in Fresno had been
to Japanese.
The bill provides that any alien who
doe not become a citizen of the
United States shall acquire and hold
title to lands in this state for no
more than five years. If within that
time the alien does not become cit
izen the district attorney shall compel
the sale of his lands or houses.
japanese and Chinese are not spe-
cifcally named, but as they cannot
become citizens, the bill is aimed di-
rectly at them and precludes them
from from owning property for more
than five years. The measure also
provides that no contract, agreement
or lease of real estate for a longer pc
riod than one year shall be made to
any alien and any lease, agreement
or devise or real estate made to any
alien for longer period shall be null
and void.
The impression is given out that if
the bill reaches the governor he will
sign it.
