News From California.

Writing from Meridian, California,
under date of October Sd, G. w. Hoff-
man, sends us the following:
We have been in this part OF the
State for the last three weeks visit
ing with our numerous cousins, who
had many questions to ask about back
East, as they speak of our side of the
map. AS they depend on the hot sun
for curing their rice and beans, also
drying their fruits in. this State, they
were very sorry to see it rain the last
day or so; but now it is clear and cool,
so We hope it won't do much harm, but
the men think it has. The rice and
bean crops are the big crops out here,
and they have had bad luck with them
for the last two years, owing to too
much rain, so if this crop is damaged
it will mean many thousands of dol
lars lost to the State at large. We
leave here the last of this week for
the southern part of California, going
down the coast line and taking in the
noted places on the way.

manded the immediate release OF Mrs.

that the records Of the case had been
