The Sportsmen’s Club has held a fair membership during the summer, how- ever, and their monthly bluerock and pigeon shoots have afforded considerable sport. Fresno has a number of cracks, as these shoots have proved. This club has been instrumental in having the mountain streams of this county stocked with 160,000 trout. They also intend to stock the woods with game. One of their purposes is'to assist the game warden in enforcing the game laws, which heretofore have been a dead letter in this county.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher Celebrates Her Eighty-Third Birthday. PORT TOWNSEND, WasH., Aug. 24.— No gray-haired visitor has come to this city with more interest attaching to her vast than Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, who, next week, will enter upon the celebration of her eighty-third birthday. She has come all the way from Brooklyn, N. Y., to celebrate the anniversary in the home of her youngest son, Herbert Beecher, who was absent from the deathbed of his famous father, and who was the last charge the great preacher committed to his wife’s care. Mrs. Beecher is feeling the weight of her years, and realizes this will be the last visit she will make to him she calls her ‘“gray-haired baby boy,” now past the prime of life. Mrs. Beecher was born in 1812 in West Sutton, Mass. She was the daughter of Dr. Bullard. Miss Bullara and Henry | Ward Beecher first met in 1830, when | young Beecher was a student at Amherst | College. They were married in 1837. They | first lived at Lawrenceberg, Ind., and later | at Indianapolis. It wasat their home in | the latter city that Harriet Beecher Stowe, | the preacher’s sister, got the inspiration | for “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Mr. Beecher is | one of the most respected citizens of this | city, and the fame of his family makes the { visit of his mother quite an event in this community, and many of his friends are arranging to make a quiet social demon- stration worthy of the occasion. 'SCORED THE RECEIVERS. Colonel Pettit’s Vigorous Lan- guage in a Seattle Court. | I A Caustic Arraignment of the Pres- ent Management of the Northern Pacific. SEATTLE, WasH., Aug. 24.—The great | fight which has been waged in the United | States District Court, before Judges Han- | ford and Gilbert, on the question as to | whether Judge Jenkins of the Circuit | Court of the ct of Wisconsin had any authority under the law to name | | Rouse, Oakes and Payne receivers of the | Northern Pacific Railroad, ended, sofar as | arguments were concerned, this afternoon. The question will be taken under advise- | mert, and it is impossible to tell whena decision will be reached. | 'The feature of the ciose of the fight on { the question of jurisdiction was the argu- | ment of Colonel Pettit, in which, among | otber things, he made the sensational allegation that §5,000,000 certificates is- sued by the receivers of the Northern | Pacific Railroad and sold to innocent pur- | chasers will be worthless unless the | courts, which have jurisdiction over the Northern Pacific property, consent to de- clare them a lien upon the property. | _Inclosing Pettit gave the receivers, the | German bankers and President James J. Hill of the Great Northern a severe roast. He said the Northern Pacific Company had once been butchered for a German holiday, and that Hill and his friends, the | bankers, backed by the present receivers, are following up the company so as to butcher it a second time. % Ex-Senator Spooner and the other coun- sel for the receivers left for the East to- | night, but Colonel Pettit will remain.

Cameron, one of the local committeemen, proceeded south over the proposed route, which is other than that surveyed by the Valley road surveyors. To-day Chief Storey viewed the route north of the river and stated that he was satisfied with the course selected by the committee, both through the county and the city. ok Eas e A Fracas at Goleta. SANTA BARBARA, Can., Aug. 24.—A young man aged 20, a son of Ed Martin of Goleta, this afternoon engaged 1n an alter- cation with a man named Tucker, who beat him over the head with a hoe. Martin came to Santa Barbara, where pieces of his skull were removed by Dr. Stoddard and an ugly scalp wound sewed up. The trouble was the outgrowth of practical jokes played on Tucker by Goleta Boys. — Released From Carsow's Jail. CARSON, Nev., Aug. 24.—J. C.

NEWS OF THE COAST. Opening of the Circuit Bicycle Meet at Petaluma. FOSTER'S SWIFT DASH. One Second Clipped From the Half - Mile Record of the Coast. SLOW TIME IN THE RACES. Chapman, Foster, Mott and Hall the Day’s Winners—A Bad Accident. PETALUMA, CAv., Aug. 24.—Wheelmen from all the surrounding country attended the race-meet of the Sonoma and Marin Agricuitural Association under the aus- pices of the Petaluma wheelmen at the it looked to be from a spectator’s point of i 2-5—but the race was none the less exciting. In the one mile handicap class B the limit men had it all their own way, and T. .8. Hall of the Bay City Wheelmen won in 2:281-5. ‘The scratch men could not over- take him and seemed to ride without enthusiasm. Foster and Burke quit at the three-quarter pole and Jones beat Ulbricht, Slater and Lacy but a few inches. Before the last race of the day Walter Foster of the Olympic Club rode an ex- hibition half mile against time, paced by the Rambler x:}\n:druy:flet, which was manned by T. 8. Hall, H. C. Smith, Allan Jones and Russell Cushing, He covered the distance mn :513-5, lowering the pre- vious coast record one second. The Garden City Cyclers were very un- kindly treated by the meet promoters. Some two weeks ago their champion, Wilbur J. Edwards, was invited to ride an exhibition mile at the meet, and was offered a prize of $50 to do so. Heassented, and on August 19 C. N. Ravlin, who was arranging the racing circuit, wrote to him, saying everything was all right, and the necessary pacing had been arranged. When Edwards arrived here to-day he was told Walter Foster was to ride the ex- hibition, and he was left without recourse. In the mile scratch race his chain slipped, and he was out of it, so_altogether he got nothing for his trip. Edwards and his fellow-members of the Garden City Cyclers are very sore at the circuit management. Edwards and Foster may ride a match race at San Jose on September 9, to decide who is the better man, and the cyclers will put up a valuable prize for the race as it would be a great drawing card. The following is'a summary of the day’s races: One mile, scratch, class A. First heat—C. D, WALTER FOSTER OF THE OLYMPICS, WHO LOWERED THE OOAST HALF-MILE RECORD. [Reproduced from a recent photograph.] fair grounds to-day. San Francisco, Osk- land and San Jose sent large delegations, and riders from all over Sonoma County were here to witness or contest in the races. The grand stands were packed to overflowing, the audience being composed largely of ladies, all of whom bhad favor- ites whom they wished to see win, and as i the honors of the day were about equally divided among the various clubs and teams every one seemed satisfied. The races were held on the one-mile horse track, which had been rolled and packed hard for the wheeling events, but as trotting events had been held on it dur- ing the fore part of the week it wasnot very fast. The races were called promptly at 2 o'clock, at which hour it was estimated there were fully 5000 people on the fair grounds. An unusual number of ‘‘sure thing” gambling devices, wheels of fortunes, crap games and the like flourished on the grounds, as some of the outside wheelmen have cause to remember. The gamblers had all the best of it, and for atimedida “land office” business. would not be courtenanced by any of the leading clubs, and if the proposed circnit is followed by this gentry the racers will soon be broke and will have to come home. There was a sad lack of business man- agement about this, the first meet of the circuit, and if to-day’s meet isany crite- | rion the circuit chasers will only have their trouble for their pains. The Agricul- tural Association and the Petaluma wheel- men did all they possibly could to make the meet a success, but the promotors of the racing circuit were very negligent as to the comfort of the racers and the many little things which go to make a meet suc- cessful. Referee Welch placed a time limit on the races of 2:25 for the class B events and 2:45 for class A, it being necessary for the rid- ers to make the mile events within these times or the races would be declared off. The object of this,a practice customary at all meets, is to make the men ride and pre- vent loafing tactics. Slow time was made in the mile class A scratch. The third heat was over the limit of 2:45, and was declared off, as was also the final heat, which had to be run over again. Bates of the Reliance Club won the first and final heat in splendid style from Byrne and Chapman. Tandem pac- ing was introduced in the second final, Pettis and Crawford of Petaluma being the team. Byrne caught'first place behind the tandem, closely followed by Bates, Chap- man, Haynes aud 8immons. In the final spurt Chapman won from Bates in 2:33, Haynes third, Simmons fourth and Byrne fifth. In the first heat of the mile scratch race, class A, Floyd McFarland of San Jose fell and broke his left shoulder-blade. In the one-mile scratch, class B, tandem })wing was introduced to make the race ast. At the start all sprinted for the tan- dem, ana_Slater was first to catch it. The others tacked on in Indian file, the order being Slater, Burke, Edwards, Lacey, Fos- ter, Jones, Hall and Ulbricht. These posi- tions were maintained up to the three- quarter_pole, when the tandem drop out and the final sprint was started. Ul- bricht from last place came up witha great spurt and took the lead, but the effort tired him and he was beaten ten yards by the tape by Foster. Ulbricht got second, and Allan Jones, with the aid of his wonderful sprint, took third. Lacey was fourth, Edwards fifth. The race was & hot one and closely con- tested, and a pair of blankets would have covered the entire bunch at the finish, It created a great deal of enthusiasm and Foster’s victory was a popular one judging by the way be was applauded from the grand stand.

SALT LAKE, UraH, Aug. 24.—The po- litical situation in Utah is assuming an in- teresting phase. The Salt Lake County convention on Thursday was a surprise to all but the few who are in close touch with the situation. It isviewed as a pronounced Trumbo victory, the colonel and his ad- herents claiming eight of the fifteen State Senators and Regresentluves nominated as his friends. The result in the Weber County convention to-day was almost a clean sweep in the interest of Trumbo and Crane, and from all over the Territory news is coming that the erstwhile distin- §n§;hed Californian is gaining adherents aily. The campaign has opened in earnest. To-night the “Oquirrh” Club, a powerful body, organized for the sole purpose of harmonizing the many conflicting fac- tions in the party, paraded the streets nearly 400 strong, with President H. S. McCallum, the most astute and popular politician in Utah, at the head. g‘l’l line were aspirants for the Supreme Bench, legislative positions, the district judge- | ship and other offices, and the Senatorial toga seekers were re%;esented by Colonel Trumbo and Colonel H. 8. Bennett. On Monday there will be a grand Re- publican demonstration at Saltair, on which occasion Hon. H. 8. McCallum, as president of the day. will have the pleasure of Introducing twenty-five or more of the most distinguished speakers of Utah to an audience which, it is now estimated, will reach 10,000 On Wednesday next the State convention will be held, and it is ex- Eected that the fight between Charles rane and A.

CAREER OF W. S. MESICK. Now Living a Hermit’s Life In the Mountains Near Santa Barbara. LOST HOME AND FORTUNE. Eking Out an Existence on a Little Clalm Far Up Romero Canyon. SANTA BARBARA, CArn., Aug. 24.—A sad story of misfortune and poverty, clos- ing the career of one who but a few years ago was the possessor of fame and riches, is that of Judge W. S. Mesick, a brother of the late Judge Mesick of San Francisco. For thirty years the Mesicks were law partners in Nevada, the attorneys for the Comstock firm, and widely known as two of the ablest jurists on the coast. Now the. surviving brother, penniless and forgotten by the many he aided in years gone by, oc- cupies a little cabin that he built with his ow:1 hands far up the mountainside, and even in this lonely refuge is not free from the persecutions of the never-sated seeker of the possessions of others. Eight or nine years ago the brothers dissolved partnership, and W. 8. Mesick came to Santa Barbara with a letter of credit for $75,000 in his pocket. Always generous and free-handed and accustomed to expending a large income, he was an easy victim to the wiles of the impecuni- ous. The major portion of this sum had disappeared before he realized it. Anxious to retrieve his losses and carried away by the speculative spirit of the “boom’’ times, he invested the balance unwisely, and four years ago his beautiful estate named Oceanside, one mile beyond the great Crocker lemon ranch at Montecito, was taken from him on a mortgage and the lonely old gentleman turned out of house and home, penniless, possessing only a team of horses and a wagon loaded with meager household furnishings. Undaunted by his misfortune the old man bravely set his face toward the moun- tains and a Government claim he knew of a mile away up the rugged but picturesque Romero Canyon. No road led to this land; there was only a steep, rough trail to fol- low. Alone and unaided he laid out and built an excellent road, sometimes carv- ing it out of the rocky mountainside, fill- ing in the ugly hollows, bulkheading dangerous slides and twice bridging moun- tain streams with logs, hewn from native timber. He was six months reaching his goal, where he finally built a quaint little cabin and has since resided. The cabin stands in an old Spanish gar- den, with a few fine orange and lemon trees and vines. Here the famed jurist of former years dwells in a royal solitude, high mountain peaks all around him, the stately forest growth fringing a gay moun- tain stream speeding past. He has accom- piished marvels by his unaided strength, tilling the ground, gardening and laying water pipe, but for the most part leads the peaceful life of a Thoreau, learning every nook of the mountains. Trails known to him alone lead to almost inaccessible heights from which he watches the phenomena of nature, For months at a time he does not see a human face and his solitude is rarely in- truded upon by people of his own rank in life. When any such present themselves they -meet with courtly and memorable hospitality dispensed by this feeble. old gentleman, shabbily clothed and in his meager cabin, but preservingall the fastid- ious habits which marked his daysof afflu- ence. Far away as is this mountain claim and possessing but few tillable acres redeemed by Judge Mesick’s indomitable persever- ance, it has certain features, especially its fine water, which make it coveted by others. This has given rise to much trouble for and petty persecution of the old gentle- man, which he has on two occasions re- sented with the desperate indignation of one who foresees his last foothold on earth wrested from him.

Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Inva- lids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., has, during the past thirty years, made a record in the cure of bronchial, throat and lung diseases thatfairly entitles itto out-rank all other advertised remedies for these affectiopns. Especially has it manifested its potency in curing consumption of the lungs. Not every case, but we believe Fully 98 Per Cent. of all cases of consumption, in all its earlier stages, are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has pro ssed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with co- pious expectoration and extreme ema- ciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases relforted to us as cured by ‘“ Gold- en Medical Discovery” were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease? ‘You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly ever{einsta.nce, been so pronounced by the best and most ex- perienced home physicians, who have 'mno interest whatever in misrepresent- ing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of “‘Golden Medical Discovery,” but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted.
