Verdict for a Seattle Woman Who Sued an Insurance Company. A SAD SUICIDE AT ALBINA. Death of Cole K. Sibley, the Chicago Rallway Magnate, at Van= couver. WRIGHTS, CaL, July 27.—Camp Roache was formally opened thisafternoon with an address by Hon. A. P. Roache, master of the State Grange, followed by other appropriate talks ana & musical pro- gramme. The large audience was enthu- siastic and all numbers on the programme were heartily applauded. The interest exceeded the expectations of the promoters, and there is no doubt of the success of the movement. The opening exercises were held in a Peautiful little spot, completely surrounded by a wall of fir and redwood trees. The ampitheater which has been prepared for the gathering presents a picture to delight eves of any lover of nature. In front speaker’s platform, which iscovered with canvas and tastily decorated with evergreens, are arranged the seats in the form of a semicircle, with here and there a tree shooting up with branches forming a canopy. The assemblage was called to order at 3 o’clock by Chairman E. F. Adams of the local committee from Highland Grange. The exercises opened with the singing of “America’’ by theaudience, followed by prayer by Rev. J. W. McLennan. Gerrard sang “The Village Black after which the chairman in a few words gave the object and scope of the move- ment, with a short history of the work done in the past. A beautiful solo was rexdered by Miss Dora Goodsell of Oak- land.” Hom. .. W. Roache followed with the opening address. “Everything in the universe, without exception, is governed by co-operative law,” he said. “The basic principle on which the grange rests is education, a word representing the progress of the age to which it is related. The importance of education can only be measured by the re- sults it achieves, the results so great and far-reaching that the human mind can but dimly comprehend their magnitude. “Highland Grange, in opening this camp of instruction, has solved the problem of what can be accomplished by efforts of co- on. Here in this school we shall receive truth without prejudice, law with- out prisons, morality without slander, and a general scientific education.” At the close of Mr. Roache’s address, a medley was sung by the Baldwin brothers of this place. Short speeches were made by Professor E. A. Ross of Stanford Uni- sity, who will deliver the lectureson ted that the closing days of the ment would be spent at Santa ren addre will be made by ordan of Stanford University Hon. J. G. Maguire, on the single tax sys- tem; Hon. J. P. Irish and M Estee, on the money question. Mr. Irish will de- fena the gold standard, and Mr. Estee will speak for silver. i HORTICULTURISTS IN SESSION. Topics of Interest to Fruit-Growers Dis- cussed at Santa Rosa. SANTA ROSA, CaL., July 27.—Brainard N. Rowley, a member of the State Horti- cultural Society and publisher of the Cal- ifornia Fruit-grower, presided at a meeting of the State horticulturists yesterday. A paper by President B. M. Lelong of the State Horticultural Society was read by Secretary Mackson. In it he predicted that California as a State was destined to become one vast fruit orchard, and that the production of fruit would be the con- trolling industry which must eventually govern the State. For years each grower had been marketing his fruit independent of his neighbor. This had brought many to financial ruin, but co-operation was now practiced throughout the State. Our olive, he said was the purest known, and we raised the finest almonds, walnuts and raisins in the world and yet found the product of foreign countries served at the principal hotels and used by well-to-do families. Here was produced the finest of figs, jams and i;:llies, and yet local consumers paid a igher price for the imported article. In conclusion President Lelong con- gratulated Santa Rosa upon having a so- ciety of ladies who advocated the absolute use of home-grown products. Colonel Mark L. McDonald of the State Eourd of Horticulture strongly indorsed ir. Lelong’s views. Mr. Rowley stated that a machine had been put in use by the American Biscuit Com;\any which allowed it to doaway with the Zante currants and use instead the seedless Sultana raisin. This company bad bought all of last year's sultanas now on the market and would buy heavily from next season’s crop. They use, he said, about 15,000 pounds each month. G. N.Sanborn read a paper on the life of the peach. Luther Burbank was called apon for his paper on new fruits and flowers. He had two new creations with him and used them in illustration of his paper. A general discussion followed. Con- gressman Barham gave "an interesting talk on fruit legislation and transporta- tion. K. D. Sweetzer, editor of the Bo- noma County Farmer, read a paper on co- pperation of fruit - growers. resident art of the Soncma County Fruit Ex- thange talked briefly on the proper grad- iug of fruit and the necessity of putting up s first-class article, and after discussin the different methods of cooking drie fruits the meeting came to an end. o Sratdhating LUCK OF A SEATTLE WOMAN. 4 Verdiot for $97,000 Against an Insur- ance Company. SEATTLE, Waen., July 27.—The jury in the case of Mrs. Guy C. Phinney against the New York Mutual Life Insurance Company, which has been on trial in the Federal court several days, this afternoon returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $97,000. Mrs. Phinney had brought suit for $100,000. & The insurance company refused to pay the amount of the policy on the death of 3uy C. Phinney, who was at one time a prominent real-estate operator in this city, on the ground that the policy had been lorferted by reason of non-payment of pre- mium. Phinney paid the first premium, out, according to the defense, when the second matured he failed to pay it, but of- .| it forfeited in fered his note instead. This the company refused to accept. The insurance company also alleged that Phinney had misrepre- sented the condition of his health at the time of taking out the policy, it being al- leged that he drank intoxicants to excess. On the other hand, the plaintiff main- tained that the company had got hold of Phinney’s insurance policy and declared an underhand manner, through the representations of the local manager of the company. The verdict is in the nature of a surprise to insurance men, and an appeal will be taken. ey WHERE THE LOOT IS CACHED. Bandit Brady’s Story of the Yolo Ez- press Robbery. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 27.—It is claimed that Brady has made a statement to the effect that Browning, the man who was shot by Sheriff Bogard in the Wheat- land train robbery, was one of the men engaged in the robbery of the Yolo train, when such a large amount of treasure was obtained. Brady, it is claimed, declares that per- sonally he had nothing to do with the rob- bery, but that Browning confessed the matter to him, and, furthermonze, de- scribed the locality where the treasure was secreted, and divulged the identity of the others engaged with him (Browning) in the train hold-up. This information Brady has given to the detectives, and it is claimed that several of them left the city to-day on a handear, after having procured the services of a surveyor, who accompanied them forthe gurpose of locating the exact spot of the uried thousands. It is also claimed that the officers went provided with a tent, as they expect that it may consume considerable time to dis- cover the exact location. It is said the other guilty parties will be in durance vile within twenty-four hours. The matter has been kept very secret on the part of the officials, and it is impos- sible to discover exactly how much of a confession has been made. FRESHO.

Formation of a Company That Wiil Put in an Exten- sive Plant. FLOW OF LUBRICATING OIL. By the Most Primitive Methods Farmers Have Secured Abun- dant Supplies. SELMA, CaL., July 27.—A company is being formed here for the purpose of de- veloping the rich oil beds believed to un- derly the foothill land in the Coast Range owned by Selma people. Near Coalinga, in the extreme south- western part of Fresno County, A. Baricau, a merchant, and Milton McWhorter, a Methodist evangelist and newspaper man, who is known throughout the State in con- nection with the Sunset Irrigation district, own land in the foothills. A streak of oil- rock crops out on this land. It has been prospected with pick and shovel, and such surface work as could be done with the most primitive tools. In this way A. Baricau has secured many gallons of lubri- cating oil, which comes from nature’s laboratory all ready for use. Many well- known farmers in this vicinity have used it in the past season on their machinery, and pronounce it superior to the com- mercial article. The petroleum, which has been secured in the same primitive way, is black and odorous, but burns well, and could be made available for fuel without refining. ample has been sent to the £ast to be ed. ] Not long ago Mr. McWhorter was at- tempting to refine some of the oil obtained on his land, when an explosion occurred, followed by a fire, and he lost his house and contents. Undaunted by this misfortune, he intends to put up a refinery near the “prospect” and proceed with the work of development. In the sdme vicinity natural gas has been discovered. A jet in a fissure by the roadside, accidentally lighted by a smok- er's match, burned for days, a weird torch in a lonely and unfrequented region. It is to develop this promising oil pros- pect that the Selma company is being formed. Captain Barrett, a capitalist who came from the East a few vears ago and invested in land near Selma, and on which he has placed some handsome improve- ments, is a promoter of mining and other enterprises. He has associated with him ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio and other prominent Eastern capitalists. The company, of which he is the resident manager, has built & dam near old Fort Millerton for the pur- pose of turning the San Joaquin to secure the wealth always believed to be hidden in the sands of the “‘hole” at the mouth of Fine Gold Gulch. The company now pro- poses to utilize the dam for the purpose of generating electricity for light and power. The dam is but twenty-five miles from Fresno, and the scheme seems a feasible one. Captain Barrett, Captain McClurg and ‘W. D. Lagrange, all of whom have had ex- perience in oil development in the oil regions of Ohio, recently visited the Baricau land and were more that satisfied with the prospect. The company now being formed includes these gentlemen, together with other experts and capitalists. A plant will be procured and two or three experi- mental wells sunk within a short time. te: SAN MATEO ASSESSMENTS. Heavy Inerease in the Valuation of the Hoplins Interests. REDWOOD CITY, CarL., July 27.—At the final meeting of the Board of Equali- zation to-day, $203,875 was added to the assessment roll on account of additional personal property recently found by As- sessor Hayward to be subject to taxation. Mary K. Hopkins, wife of Timothy Hop- kins of Menlo Park, was thus assessed for $100,000; Georgiana 8. Hopkins, wife of E. N. Hopkins, was also assessed for $100,000, and five minor heirs, for whom E. N. Hop- kins is guardian, were assessed for a total of $3875, all on notes, stocks and bonds owned by the several persons. These amounts were accepted as correct by the representatives of the Hopkins interests. At a previous meeting of the board the Assessor stated that as Emily B. Hopkins, widow of Moses Hopkins, deceased, bad not returned a statement of personal prop- erty he wished to make an arbitrary assess- ment, and asked the board to allow him an attorney, so that proper action could be taken in case of contest. In this matter a compromise was a; d upon, and Mrs, Hopkins consen! to an assessment of $184,550 on stocks and bonds of the South- ern Pacific Company. With the assess- ment made to-day these various Hopkins interests will thus pa&cuxea on $388,425, represented by notes, stocks and bonds. 'he assessment on W. O’B. Macdon- ough’s horse Ormonde also came up to-day, and was reduced from $25,000 to §10,000. e i NO WATER FOR ALTA DISTRICT. Irrigation Tracts Suffer Because of the Rapid Lowering of Kings River. TRAVER, CaL., July 27.—“Where can we get water to irrigate with?” is a ques- tion that will soon confront the fruit- growers in the Alta and other irrigation districts whose ditches are filled from the waters of Kings River. The snow on the western slopes of the Sierras, where the Kings finds its source, is nearly all melted, and the water is be- coming low in the river. This, of course, diminishes the sup 13{ in the irrigating ditches, and in this FA ta) district the directors have given notice that the ditches will all be closed after August 10. If no more water can_be pro- cured after that until the fall rains com- mence it will have a disastrous effect upon the younger trees and vines, and what to do to avert the impending drought is puz- zling the farmers. ————— ADMISSION DAY AT GILROX.

SEATTLE, Wass., July 27.—United States Senator John L. Wilson, who was in this city to-day, said in an interview that in traveling about the country he had found less talk about silver, and he be- lieved the question was dying out. Times are better and there is more general pros- perity than a year ago. Senator Wilson does not believe that there will be a split in either the Republi- can or Democratic parties over_ the silver question, and believes the Republican rnrty will not go into the silver 1ssue far- her than it has already gone. In the mat- ter of Presidential tim{er the Senator says there is plenty of it. McKinley is a good man, so is Tom Reed, and ex-President Harrison is one of the ablest statesmen in the Republican party, while Senator Alli- son is all right,” Senator Wilson declares he has no Presidential preferences. He is now on his annual tour about the State and left to-day for Bkagit County. Losares i OZETTE RIVER SALMON, Captain Ward Will Pack His Catch in Bins on the Beach. SEATTLE, Wasg., July 27.— Captain Ward of this city is outfitting a schooner to engage in salmon-fishing in Ozette River, which empties into the Pacific near Cape Flattery. He expects to get the schooner over the bar at the moutk: of the river at high tide and then anchor inside, free from the heavy surf, which is a men- ace to all kinds of craft on Flattery coast. Once inside he will fish for salmon as they ascend the stream, and will pack them away, salted in bins, on the beach. The business is something new for a fishing fleet, and it is believeg will be surer pay than fresh fish, which often spoil before a market port can be reached. MOODY GULCH LITIGATION. Appointment of a Receiver for Valuable Oil Wells. Santa Clara Citizens Subscribe to an Advertising Fund—A New Water Company. SAN JOSE, Car., July 27.—Buit was commenced to-day by D. B. Moody et al. against Charles J. Ellis and C. C. Mclver for an accounting of the product of an oil well in Moody Gulch, above Los Gatos. In December, 1888, the plaintiffs leased to the Santa Clara Petroleum Company a tract of land known as Moody Gulch, in which large deposits of oil had been dis- covered. The lease was for ten years, and the company was to sink oil wells and de- velop the property, the owners of the land to receive one-tenth of theoutput. The company sold out to R.C. McPherson, who renewed the lease for ten yers. Two years later McPherson transferred his in- terest to C. J. Ellis, and he agreed to carry out the terms of the contract. The plaintiffs now charge that since June 25, 1890, Ellis has been taking out 160 barrels of oil per month, and has made no accounting to them. They further claim that the o1l on the premises is, worth $3 75 a barrel, and that there is due them not less than $3600. It is charged that Ellis has threatened to remove the machiner, from the place, and the plaintiffs aske that an injunction be issued restraining him from so doing, and that the defendant be compelled to render an accounting.

SANTA BARBARA, Can, July 27.— Members of the camping party on Santa Cruz Island returning on the recent trip of the sloop Restless, tell the other side of the story of the sloop’s recent wreck, which caused such uneasiness on the mainland, and their story reflects honor on the Santa Barbara boys composing the party, while revealing for the first time that even greater anxiety was experienced on the island the night of the 17th than here. A large number of the campers were at supper when a small boy, who had been idly watching the sloop sailing away on her return voyage, suddenly cried out that she had disappeared. Five of the boys who had just sat down to their meal, hungry and tired, leaped across the table, darted down to their skiff and started for the scene of the supposed disaster. A high sea prevailed and the little skiff was a frail craft to meet it. Mr. McDuffie followed as fast as he could, and insisted that two of the Young fellows should come back, as the little boat was overloaded. To this Howard Broughton reluctantly ac- ceded, while Duncan McDuffie, Lawrence, Hamilton and Tibbitts pressed on. Those on shore .ascended the cliff and eagerly scanned the horizon. At one mo- ment they thought they conld discern the hulk of the Restless with her rigging gone, but still floating right side up on the toss- ing sea. The next instant darkness swal- lowed up the scene, including the light boat in which the four young heroes had gone to the reacue. Night dropped down with a high wind and heavy sea, and it was not until 10 o’clock the next forenoon that the anxious watchers on shore were gladdened by the sight of the little boat dancing over the waves, the fate of her young occupants being wrapped in uncertainty all this time. Swimming and diving to recover the lost rigging, the boys worked until 12 that night, soaked to the skin and chilled through and through, but in the cheeriest spirits and without a word of complaint. The cause of the disaster was that the sloop carried to much sail. Had the acci- dent occurred when she was on her out- ward trip, crowded with passengers, there is every certainty that some would have been swept overboard and others severely injured. i CAUSE OF THE EARTHQUAKE, Scientists Assert That a Bed of Natural Gas Underlies Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA, Car., July 27.—For years a curious phenomenon has been ob- served in a certain district of Santa Bar- bara. In all this region what is known as “local earthquakes” are of frequent and constant occurrence, but as little damage is ever done beyond the jarring of crockery and splashing of fluids the inhabitants have come to look upon them with indif- ference, and it is only lately that any sci- entific theory has been advanced to ac- count for them. Men acquainted with such phenomena now confidently assert that these local agitations of the earth’s surface are in all f;lobability caused by the pressure of an mense volume of natural gas, a condi- tion known to be common in regions where natural gas has been discovered in great supply. It is urged, not unreason- ably, that any capitalist who will make the investment required to sink say to a depth of 2000 feet at most might be richly repaid. The surrounding formation and the great deposits of oil and gas in the neighboring localities furnish favorable geologic con- ditions for an inexhaustible supply of natural gas.

A HARD-WORKING WOMAN —sooner or later suffers from backache, nerv- ous, worn-out feelings, or a sense of weight in the abdomen, dragging down sensations and diz- ziness. It will all come to an end with Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription for it’s woman’s special tonic and mervine; it restores her strength, reg- alates and promotes all the natural func- tions and makes a new woman of her.
