developed in the Good Templars' home
were considered as ordinary ailments,
the fact that sandwiches haying been
eaten on Saturday playing no part in
the diagnosis 1t was not until the
sickness spread into every room that
the medical attendants were confronted
with a dangerous situation.
In a similar manner did the sickness
spread from one home to another in
the city. Children first became suffer-
ers and were followed by the older
members of the family. In many in
stances whole families were overcome
and neighbors untouched by the hand
Of sickness became nurses. The sup
ply Of doctors could not, at first. meet
the demand. Facts gathered by the
doctors led them to believe that those
suffering from kidney or heart trouble
were more easily affected than more
healthy persons.
Anxious to learn whether the sick
ness had been confined to Vallejo and
Mare island and vicinity, interested
persons here communicated with mem
bers Of the launching party who live in
Stockton, Sacramento and Oakland and
to their surprise q number of cases in

MANY AT LAUNCHING

The launching Of the collier Prone
theus was one Of the most significant
events of this character that has ever
taken place on the Pacific coast. Much
importance was attached to the event
because Of the fact that the big vessel
was the first steel naval vessel TO be
constructed at the Mare island naval
yard. The vessel was designed and
completed under the direction of II. A.
Evans, naval constructor and little Miss
Dolly Evans christened it.
Hundreds of enthusiastic supporters
Of home industry attended the launch
ing. They came from all parts of cen
tral California, the leading commercial
bodies in the various cities taking
charge of excursions.
After the vessel had been successfully
glided from the ways 500 persons en-
joyed the luncheon which had been pro-
vided by the various commercial bodies.
The first course was served at 1890
noon. and for an hour the diners en-
joyed the hospitality of the combined
commercial bodies representing the va
rious cities. Short speeches befitting
the occasion We're made. No symptoms
Of ptomaine poison developed on Sstur-
day afternoon or Saturday evening, but
at noon Sunday reports of sicknesses
reached the hospitals and physicians.

HARNEY VALLEY Is FIpST

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wilson are
back from q visit 10 Ohio and
other middle states where they
were guests of relatives and
friends. Mrs. Wilson was quite
sick a portion of the time but
aside from that they had a very
good time. Mr. Wilson says that
people are coming west by the
thousands and one is besiegcd
with questions as soon as il Is
learned they arc from the west
He found conditions quite differ
ent back there than here and was
surprised at the number of idle
men in fact conditions in that
respect are quite serious. Mr..
Wilson says that scarcity of la
Dor will not prevent railroad
building this year and although
lt is hard on idle men in the east,
il may be TO our benefit locally.
When asked if he had seen any
country better than this Chas.
said mo, positively Mo- Harney
Valley looks better TO me than
ever No place has better pros
poets"
He had the distinction of being
one of the 1900 banqueters TO sit
down at the table with w. j.
Bryan at Columbus, Ohio, and
heard that distinguished man de
liver what was credited by those
who had heard him before one Of
his greatest speeches. Chas,
says he was attempted TO invite
Mr., Bryan out to see US during
fair week, but considering the
fact thata presidential campaign
would be at white heat it might
be asking too much from the dis
tinguished gentleman at that
particular time, therefore, didn't.
suggest it.
Mrs. Wilson did not come in on
the stage with Chas. but went
to willamette Valley to visit for
a short time.

many years, but as they are all
good people with reputation for
paying their obligations the
manager has allowed them this
privilege. Now, however, the
postal authorities have ruled 9TH
erwise and will not allow papers
sent to subscribers who are more
than one year arrears. This
makes it necessary to collect up.
Please look at the date on your
paper or wrapper, figure two
"plunks" per year and cough
up" before the first of the next
month or Wen have to stop your
paper those more than one year
in arrears. Don't bother about
figuring interest on the amount,
we'll give that to you, but the
