DOOLING WILL TRY
IMPORTANT WATER CASE
Irrigation Rights in Sacramento
Valley to Be Determined
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

HOLLISTER, Oct 10.-Judge NJ. T.
Dooling of this county has been called
to Woodland to try an irrigation case
involving important water rights in
the Sacramento valley. 1t was begun
in Colusa county in 1908 by the late
Byron D. Beckwith against Willard M.
Sheldon, and since Beckwith's death
has been carried on by his heirs.
Several years ago Beckwith appro-
priated water from the Sacramento
river at practically all the available
places then remaining in Glenn, Colusa,
Yolo and Solano counties. In all he
claimed 100000 inches. He induced
Sheldon to associate himself with him
in the enterprise. Later there was a
financial stringency and the project
was halted by a lack of funds. When
times improved sheldon and other capt.
talists again took up the project and
developed it into an important irriga-
tion system.
This work was met by claims Of
fraud from Beckwith, who alleged that
his water rights had been taken from
him.

INSTRUCT CLERCYMEN
IN MARRIAGE LAWS

Trenton, May 21:-There was
mailed to many clergymen in New
Jersey yesterday by the State Board
Of Health notification of the radical
changes in the marriage law, which
takes place July i. One of the new
provisions makes a clergyman liable
to fine of $500 or to Imprisonment
for a term of not exceeding SIX
months If he performs marriage
ceremony without the presentation
of license obtained as provided by
the law.
The attention OF clergymen is also
called to that part of the new law
which requires them, after solemniz-
ing marriage, to transmit the certi-
ficate within five days to the local Of
ficial who issued the marriage IL
cense. Failure to do so will mean a
fine not exceeding $50.
The Attorney General advises that
in applications for license where 1t
appears that either of the parties is
divorced 1t will not be sufficient to
say that ia SO, but 1t shall be neces-
sary to produce certified copy Of
the decree before the license can be
granted.

CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL =
REFLECTIONS
BY wnIbAM N. BAwpEN.
EVANGELISM.

EVANGELISM.
This Is a word that has done duty
for SO long that frequently its real
meaning Is lost sight Of. To the or
dinary mind, evangelistic meetings
mean those gatherings OF Christian
people, to which outsiders also are
invited and attracted, where means
are employed to excite the emotions
to such a degree that certain results
are sure to follow. An illustration
OF an extreme type of this character
of meeting might have been seen in
many places in the South during the
past few weeks, when the negro peo-
pie in particular were raised to a
high state of excitement over the i'm
pending end of the world, which was
thought to be brought about by the
visit of Halley's comet. Such meet
lings prevailed generally a generation
and more ago, and still are in evil
dence in some quarters.
The word "Evangel' itself Is sim
Iply a transliteration of the Greek
word into English, for which the An
glo-Saxon equivalent is our common
word Gospel" meaning good news,
glad tidings. Hence evangelism is
simply the telling of good news un-
to men. OF course, there are various
kinds of good news, but the good
news that transcends all else In inn
portance and interest Is that which
concerns itself with man himself.
If man were only or chiefly an an
imal, then the good news would
largely concern itself with his body,
or 1t would not be of supreme inter
est to him. But man is essentially a
spirit, created in the image of God,
who is spirit This spirit has been
clother upon with a body, which
body links it to this earth on which
We live. So the best of good news
concerns itself, net with the body,
which is ephemeral, but with the
spirit, with the man himself. "The
dust returneth to the earth as it was,
and the spirit returneth unto God
who gave It."
The good news that is worth
while tells us Of our relations to the
God in whose image we are created,
to whom we shall return, before
whom we must all appear for judg-
ment. What is that good news?
That there is salvation from that
feeling of guilt which all men have
experienced, as they have thought of
the good God, and Of how little they
have lived as he would have them.
For God so loved the world Of man.
kind that seeing his sinful and lost
condition, he sent unto men His Son,
Jesus the Christ, to bear the burden
of sin, that whosoever-and that
means you-should believe on Him,
and seek to live the Christlike life
by his aid, should not perish, but
have life eternal.

DR.. Blessing, President Of Pittshurg
Council, Found Guilty.
Pittsburg, May 21.-Dr. f. G. Bless
ing, president of the common council
Of Pittsburg, was found guilty of ac-
cepting a bribe. The jury was out
twenty three hours before reaching a
verdict, and the announcement Of the
jury's decision was received with sur
prise throughout the city.
The testimony on which Blessing
was convicted appears TO have been
much more weak than that presented
against any other member of the coun-
ellis yet tried The fact that Ollie
Hamilton. star witness for the COM
monwealth, gave evidence In favor OF
Blessing rather than against him made
the public believe that Blessing would
be acquitted DR.. Blessing, who had
refused to resign his position in the
councils while under fire and who
came from hospital to face his trial,
laughed aloud when the jury's verdict
was read and ordered his attorney to
apply for a new trial. He left the
courtroom under bail.
In the case of Councilman George
Schad, who is also member OF the
state legislature, tried for grating In
council, the jury failed to agree and
was discharged.

he found an envelope addressed to
him and containing a couple of the
circulars. He had seen over 1900
addressed envelopes left from the
primary at the republican headQuar-
ters up to the last week of the cam
Daign and he did not know what had
become Of them.
The only reason he had had the
envelopes addressed In the water Of
Ace was because he intended to put
the names OF only two or three can
didates in envelopes and did not care
to have the republican headquarters
know 1t for fear the other candf-
dates might be offended. There

He had lists of the saloon keep

other people who are liberal in their

he could get help from them for
these candidates. They had been
mailed from Newark to make the re-
cipients feel that they had come

In rebuttal the state recalled Mr.

open day and night, as the defense's
witnesses had sworn. AS to the g..
900 envelopes left over from the
primary, he swore that he and Cham

up. The envelopes were for only

had been sent out. This contradict
