Srm my IVmSbH. Tbe Chlneehorde at ono mint g-o So said the Geary law, 1 trow Uule they register, you know But Grorer mid they neednt. And 90 they quite Ignored the law, AndOongre held in little awe, And asked in blandest tones, Whah foh For Grover said they neednt. The Silver-Purchase measure taught Four miiliou ounces should be bought, The Treasury held the law as naught, For Grover said it needn't. Il bought two million ounce: then It jewed and jewed and jewed again, While all the Goldbugs said amen For Grover said neednt.

Grover says we neednt. btockim Mail. WHAT BATH THE I.AWt The following Hectiou of the law is giving our School Trustees some trouble, as it seems to preclude the plan of voting a maintenance tax only in the establishment of a High School here this year In any oity, incorporated town, school district, or anion high school district which shall have voted to establish aud maintain a high school, it shall be the duty of the High School Board therein to furnish to the authorities whose duty it is to levy taxes, on or before the second Monday of September, an estimate of the cost of purchasing a suitable lot, of procuring plans and specifications, aud erectiDg a suitable building, of furnishing the same, and of fencing and ornamenting the grounds for the accommodation of the school, and of conducting the school for the school year.

It shall bo the duty of snid Board, each and every year thereafter, to present to said authorities, on or before the second Monday of September, an estimate of the amount of money required for conducting the school for the school year. The State Superintendent of Schools said to Professor Shearer last week that the Board could, il they saw fit, reut suitable rooms for the accommodation of the High School as provided for County High Schools in Sec. 1671, subdivision 3 ot the laws of 93. That Section directs the Board of Supervisors to estimate cost of purchasing lot, erection of building, provided, that the High School Board the Board of Education may rent suitable rooms for the accommodation of the school. A previous Section of the law subdivision 11 of Sec.

1670 in defining tlie powers and duties of High School Boards says, The powers and duties of the High School Boards shall tie such as are uow, or as may hereafter be assigned by law to Boards of Education or Boards of School Trustees. Putting, therefore, the two provisions of the law bearing upon this point together, it would seem that the School Trustees, as a High School Board would have the same authority to rent rooms as the Board of Education, which in case of a County High School would be the High School Board. It is a question, however, for lawyers to decide, aud we are neither a lawyer nor the son of one. Bargains -AT THr- New York Bazaar. 4-4 Bleacbed Cotton, 10 cents a yard.

F. Call The average Californian of the present day is imitatiug the Frenchman who in his imperfect knowledge of English screamed aloud, I will be drowned aud nobody shall save me. VVe are all sure that we are going to the dernoition bowwows, and it seems to occur to no one to ask why in the name of common-sense we should. The shipments of wheat to Port Costa during the mouth of July were in round figures 4,000 ears, or 1,300 cars more than the railroad ever hauled in any previous month of its history. The agents report that they will need a hundred cars a day for the present month of August, and the demand for transportation is so pressing that the company has had to take off its gravel trains aud use the flatcars for the carriage of grain.

Simultaneously 1,550 carloads of fruit were dispatched east from Sacramento between the beginning of the season and August 1. During the same period last year the shipmeuts of fruit were 1,100 cars; this year's increase is thus 40 per cent. Strings of empty cars are coming west to replace the rolling-stock which is beiug dispatched from this coast. The railroad company is using larger cars than it did; cars which carry twelve tons of fruit besides ice. It may be submitted to any man of common seuse whether this looks like depression and disaster following fast and following faster? nlietOKA ItPiM.

Calistoga public school opened Monday morniug, after a two mouths vacation, with a full corps of efficient teachers.

On the first day the following number of pupils were enrolled: In Prof. Huskeys room, 32; in Miss Wright's room, 33; in Miss Bennetts room, 42; in Miss Pratt's room, 44; in Miss Burgess room, 44; total, 195. This number against 163 on the first day last year, aud the largest number ever in attendance on the first day of school. A Kentucky bride in a sleeping car started to get a drink of water.

Intelligencer. 9100 Reward 9IOO. The renders of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stases, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being I constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment.

Hall Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucus surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in Its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it faila to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

CHENEY Toledo.O. 49-Sold by Druggists, 75c. A Mry BaM (Ja False Pm. The Santa Rosa Democrat of a re-oeut date publishes an interview with O. B.

Short, a gentleman lately discharged from the Napa Asylum. Says the paper quoted When Mr. Short left this city for Napa he was suffering from mental aberration of a marked though temporary character, and at the end of the second week the physicians pronounced him sane. They agreed that his condition had resulted from a serious case of poison oak, and advised that he remain until his nervous system had more fully recovered from the shock it had sustained. Then follows a state ment from Mr.

Short in which he Bays that while he was in a weak and nervous condition he was taken into the presence of Dr. Gardner and submitted to a series of hypnotic expert, ments; that tbe other physicians were present; that one test was made with tbe aid of discs of various colors aud another with particolored worsteds; that after the experiments he was weak and when Dr. Gardner got through with him he (the Doctor) agreed with his colleagues that the patient was too positive. In conclusion Mr. Short is reported as saying: I would be the last man to wish to balk scientific experiment.

1 am free to admit that beyond the realm of established sciences there are many secret forces and hidden springs of psychic aud psychical action. Hypuotisin is also a useful and valuable accessory, possibly, to physical operations and psychic investigations but I believe its indiscriminate use is not outy ill advised, but dangerous. I think, also, that Dr. Gardner is too indiscriminate in its use. He has made it a close study, a hobby, in fact, and bis judgment, I fear, is often influenced by bis enthusiasm.

Consider what might be the effect on the mind and constitution of a person in a weak physical state, who was suffering from some temporary affliction ot the mind. I think a check should be applied to sucli experiments at tbe asylum, aud if I was in a position I should urge a practical investigation of the matter. Upon this the Democrat raises the question: Is hypnotism used too indiscriminately at the Napa Asylum? Dr. Gardner was this morning seen and asked if Short had been treated as described. Answer Only one patient has ever been successfully hypnotized iu the Napa State Asylum.

At tbe urgent request of relatives an attempt was made to hypnotize a lady patient. It was unsuccessful. At no time during the detention of Mr. Short at the Asylum was tbe attempt made to hypnotize him, either by myself or any other member of the hospital staff of physicians. No member of the staff of physicians ever made the statement that Mr.

Short was not au insane man. He was suffering from an acute attack of mania, and it is more than probable that a mistake has been made iu granting a discharge to the gentleman before his full recovery. This opinion is based upon Mr. Shorts statement as reported in the Santa Rosa Democrat. Continuing Dr.

Gardner said: The intellectual and honest investigation of any scientific problem is one thing, aDd tbe riding of a hobby is another. Whether it is I or somebody else that is riding a hobby I am wiliing to let the public decide in the light of the facts iu the case. MARKET REPORT. San Francisco, Aug. 10, 1893.

All the Loudon papers are praising Clevelands gold-standard message. The Oakland Timex hasnt the big head it had a few days ago.

(Treat improvement. We want the Midwinter Fair but no extra session of the Legislature. The whistle is a nice thing to have, but there is such a thing as paying too dear for it. The Hu per visors of Orange county last Monday appropriated $550 for a county exhibit at the Midwinter FairjtheHupervisorsof Hanta Cruz county appropriated $500 to the same end. The City Council has been very considerate in dealing with the saloon.

A graduated scale of licenses has been adopted, the highest figure of which is not high, thus' giving the liquor dealer so disposed opportunity to work out of and abandon the business. President Clevelands message is before t.be special Congress and the wondering world. It settles nothing, enlightens nobody, contains no quality calculated to restore public confidence. If the affairs of the country are this year raised out of the slough of despond into which they have fallen, it will not be attributable to anything the President has recommended but rather to some stand taken by Congress which will make industrial interests know that present tariff laws are to be touched very tenderly, if at all. THE IRKSIUtAT AN I II IN KN-NAUE.

Henator White: While I am not an extremist and do not believe in a rule or ruin policy, and am, as is President Cleveland, in favor of the repeal of the Hherman lawj I am yet unwilling to ignore silver or to wholly eliminate it as money. Henator Perkins: From the single gold standard of unit of value it undoubtedly represents the views of the so-called gold bugs. Henator Btewart: The only re lief proposed by him is to make less money by stopping the issuance of Treasury notes and adopting a gold standard, in the hope that foreigners might lend us money for the pres-seut, on the certainty of taking all our property iu the future. Congressman Caminetta: How could the purchase of silver under the Hherman Act produce such wide-spread luck of confidence and business depression? Why did it not begin to operate iu 1890, or 1892? We were then acting under the same provision of law. Congressman Brower: He omits entirely to mention the fact that uncertainty as to what the Democrats will do with the tariff is closing down hundreds of mills and factories all over the country, aud uses the Hherman law ns au excuse for everything.

Iu assuming that this condition is owing to any one thing he is entirely mistaken. Congressman Loud: It leaves one to the belief that he Cleveland is as much in the dark regarding the question as ordinary mortals. Congressman Hilborn. It sustains all his utterances since the Warner letter. Congressman McGuire.

Any attempt to correct errors of a tbousaud years of legislation ou the question of finance by absolutely and finally establishing a single gold standard under cloture rules and the inspiration of Clevelands alarm bell will tie fraught with great danger and probable disaster." HE IN HE VI AN. The Newspaper Man for August contaius the following very pat allusion to the relations existing between the newspaper publisher and those who are or ought to be his supporters: A newspaper man is iu some instances like other people. He respects his frieud, appreciates akiud-ness, aud is always willing to return a favor. In another respect he resembles his fellow men. He will not coutiuue to pat a man on the back, tell what a good man he is, aud how much he has done for the town, aud give him a free busiuess puff every day, when the man will not, through personal prejudice or otherwise, coutiuue to aid iu supporting the paper.

In other words, fie stands by the man who stands by him. 'lhat is about the way of the world, and a newspaper mau caut be expected to be so much different from other people. ARorr PENNIONN. Commauder-in-Chief A. G.

Get a pure article, fresh, just put up, at Dillon Dowdell's. Roomy and Handy Red For Conveying Silage and Fodder. The author of Barn Building' says: By the use of the old self rake reaper for cutting in the field and conveniently equipped wagons for hauling, corn can be put into the silo for from 50 to 75 cents a ton, and there will be no more hard work connected with it than there would be in harvesting a clover or grass crop. At the silo filling time, when all the hny-beds, trucks and racks are in demand at once, a device like the one below will enable the farmer to press any ordinary farm wagon into service for this pur-pose. The cut is copied from Barn Building.

inxQmKlbft RACK FOR DRAWING FODDER CORN. Mr. Sanders describes it as follows: It is made of 2 by 8 plank, 16 feet long, one end of each being placed on top of the forward bolster. The other ends pass under the rear axle and are chained or bolted np tight to it. These two pieces make the foundation of the rack.

The wagon ia coupled out as far as these planks will allow. On top of the plank are placed four crosspieces equally distant from one another, as shown in the figure. These crosspieces are 2 by 4 and should be 7 feet long. Upon these are laid inch boards parallel with the wagon. The load is, of course, placed wholly in front of the rear wheels, but the rack is large and low enough to enable a man to put on a ton of green corn from the ground without having to climb upon the load or hand it to a second person to deposit.

Educating Colts. The writer was not long ago looking at a mixed lot of Ontario and western colts, along with the breeder of the westerners. The latter took occasion to remark on the docile temper of the eastern colts, saying: Isn't it strange these beasts are so quiet. Ours would kick us to pieces if we handled them the same way. I suppose they have been used to handling all their days.

It dot's not need much horse lore to see that colts accustomed to run nearly wild and get habits in conformity with that usage must be much less reliable than colts familiar with all tbe variety of sights and sounds that come in the way of the colt reared in sight of a railroad and busy city. But there are elements of value quite as important as those just named. Even in the country one colt may be found that will make a little fuss about an accidental cause of excitement just because it has got accustomed to trust the superior being who at the time controls it. There are colts that after a year or two's experience on a prairie farm would scare and shy at the sight of a granite bowlder on the roadside and make serious mischief out of apparently nothing at all. Too often a savage yell from the driver is the only explanation the poor excited creature gets of the cause of its fright.

Another sort of driver would give the colt time to investigate the bugbear for itself, and even if he did not, his calm familiar voice would give con fidence and the next thing of the same kind that came in the 'way would be shorn of its terrors. It is needless to multiply examples. Let it be understood in a sentence thiA a horse trained in such a way that it can be trusted even when full of spirits is worth 30 per cent more than an equally good looking beast which may not be quite trustworthy till double the age. To get this kind of sense in the horse it is necessary to have the same kind of sense in his trainer, and one of the first things that will put value into a young horse when he goes to market is to make it fully manifest that he has brains in his head and has been made to understand his lifes business. Northwest Farmer.

The Special Pnrpose Horse. At the New York horse show almost Done but the strictly fancy breeds were shown, the Hackneys forming the only considerable exception. In commenting upon this fact, one of the daily pfqers made the assertion that in 20 years the only use we would have for horses, particularly in the cities, would be for fancy drivers, saddle horses, etc. in short, that in a score of years we would use horses only as playthings; that tbe work now done by them would all be done by electricity. We are inclined to think that this is rather an extreme view; that it will be considerably longer than this before the work horse can he entirely dispensed with.

Yet the tendency is in that direction. The general purpose horse is a nonentity so far as being a profitable animal to breed i3 concerned. The horses that bring the highest prices are those that are adapted for some special purpose. This state of things is likely not only to continue, but to be intensified, and is worth the careful thought of breeders. The happy-go-lucky style of breeding in vogue in the past is no longer profitable.

Attorney -General Hart, who was investigated by the last Legislature with very unsatisfactory results if the object was to prove that he is an efficient officer who does his duty in a straightforward sort of way is left by the Pacific Bank revelations iu a plight which will require a good deal of explaining. Iu December, 1891, tbe Bank Commissioners notified the Attorney-General that tie bank was doing business by unsafe methods, in order that the Attorney-General might use the powera vested in his office to force the bank to square itself or go out of business. He did uothiug of the sort, and a year afterward the Commissioners again notified Attorney-General Hart that the bank was unsafe.

It was his duty, if he found it insolvent, to wind up this bank, but lie let matters take their course, and the institution ran along six mouths more, waiting for such a disaster as the recent loss of confidence to pn cipitate it into acknowledged insolvency. When the inevitable shake came the Pacific Bank fell down just as naturally as a cracked and shattered shell of a building collapses when the first earthquake conies. lien the bank failed au exposure was made of its liabilities and assets, and lo! among tbe debtors was Attorney-General Hart. He owed the bank $28,000. Had this debt been the reason why he did not proceed against the bank? Was he blinded to his duty by self-interest? Was the the price of his silence and inaction? The Attorney -General, of course, answers no to tin se questions, and states that he took no action against the bank because he did not consider it insolvent.

But even if we assume that lie is teiling the strict truth in saying this, the situation is a bad one. The holder of an office as high as Attorney-General must avoid the appearance of evil as well as the reality of it. He has no moral right to owe $28,000 to a bank which he is protecting against official allegations of unsafe methods and a perilous financial condition. Oakland Enquirer. A JU.VS WORK.

Why the Widow Preferred Her Pint Hnt nl to Her Neeoad. Away up in the North fork of the Kentucky river the Widow Wilson kept a halfway house, famous iu that sectioD for its excellent fare, aud when I hapjieued to be in that neighborhood on one occasion I made an extra eflort to get there to stay over (Sunday. I found it an excellent place, and Sunday afternoon as I sat in the shade of tbe porch the widow found me. Dont you tret very lonesome here by yourself? I asked, after a few scattering remarks. Yes, sometimes, she answered, but takin it up one side an down tother I reckon Im about ez well off ez ef I had a man around.

But you ought to get married, I argued. You are still hale aud hearty, and a husband would be a good deal of comfort to you. He mought. au then again he moughtent, sue said, shaking her head. Ive tried two, an neither one suited.

What was wrong with them? Well, Jiukins, he was the fust one, sha said in a reminiscent tone; he wuz a ornery hound that used to git drunk an come home an thrash me all over the place. Ef he hadnt been a drinkius man I could a stood the thrashiu, but I didnt like the idea uv both. After he died I married Wilson, an he wuz a lazy, ornery thing that used to git drunk au come home, an I used to thrash him ail over the place. She laughed softly at the memory of it. That wTas some better than the first, I said, laughing with her.

No, it wuznt, she promptly replied. No? Why? I asked in surprise. Well, Id kinder got used to Jin-kins ways, an when Wilson come I never liked the idea uv doin a mans work about the house. It was a new phase of a mans work about the house, jind for some time I rumiuated upon it. Detroit Free Press.

Supervisor Deweese, as a committee of one appointed to visit St. Helena and confer with the Trustees there with reference to a bridge across Napa creek, reported; his report was approved aud filed.

The matter of opening road in Carneros Road District petitioned for by C. H. Anderson aud others, was referred to the District Attorney and that officer was instructed to report at the September uieefiug. In the matter of the petitiou of W. T.

Benson and others of Cherry Valley School District for an appropriation to assist in defraying the cost of construction of a new school-house iu said District, ordered that said petition be rejected by reason of the Board not being authorized by law to grant the prayer of petitioners.

The titiock at Manta Koa. Santa Rosa, according to the Republican, experienced quite a heavy shock of earthquake at 1:12 o'clock Wednesday morning. The vibrations were six iu number. The guests in the Occidental, in some of the rooms, cleared for action aud white figures wandering about were not uncommon in many quarters. Considerable daaiage was done to buildings.

The Court House suffered most. The stairway to the Court rooms was littered with plaster ttiat fell from the ceiling. Department Number One lost large patches of plaster, and so did Number Two. Roth jury rooms suffered, thougli that in Number Two was damaged most. Large chunks of plaster and moulding were taken off.

Iu Judge Doughertys chambers the floor was covered with plaster aud one of the walls there was sprung by the shaking. The County Superiuteudeuts office also suffered. The damage can hardly he estimated. If any of the walls have been displaced, and it looks very much as if they have been, the damage will be considerable, some think between $1,000 aud $2,000. Had the shock come when court was iu session there must have been a panic.

Grace Bros, store was considerably shaken up, some of the goods being thrown down, breaking dishes, etc. Fitzgerald Towery's building, the Gleuu block, Hood's house aud a number of other buildings received slight injuries. Nobody was hurt, but ail say the shake was a pretty good one considering the hard times. gT) 9 1 i a a AT SACRAMENTO, September 4th to 16th. Two Weeks.
