Mrs. Jennie , attempted to commit ide ght while on her way to this city by The cause of the deed was grief | - the death of her husband. When the woman came ashore with the | other passengers it was noticed that she | was acting very strangely. At that time | it was not known she had madean attempt | to take her life, and those who saw her peculiar actions supposed that they were | due to insani Mrs. Jones wandered | intd the southeastern part of town, and soon a telephone message came to the police oflice, saying that a crazy woman was at large in the vicinity of the Aurora- street bridge, over Mormon Channel. Officer Burnham, who responded to the summons for help, found the young| woman running to and fro on the bridge. | When questioned sheat first seemed dazed, | but afterward appeared to recover her rea” son and answered lucidly. She said she was hunting for an acquaintance named su Mrs. Long. It was then that Mrs. Jones told the officer of her attempt to commit suicide by taking morphine on the boat, and she said it bad produced such a strange feeling in her head that she could not find her way about town. She was taken to the County Jail and locked up on a charge of insanity. Aftera confinement of a few hours she appeared to recover her reason and talked rationally. She seemed to be in good health, but mething appeared to be the matter, and before noon Dr. Freshman, the an, was summoned. The poison n a hold on her, and Dr. Fresh- for Dr. Sargeant to assist him in emetic was administered and antidotes given. She is now thought to | be out of danger. CHINESE I THE SCHOOLS. The City Attorney Says They Must Be Admitted. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 18.—City Attor- ney Smith this evening rendered a written opinion in the matter of the applicatior: of Chee Go, a Chinese boy, to attend the pub- lic schools. Mr. Smith holds that under section 1622 of the Political Code Boards of Education must either build separate schools for the Chinese or admit them to the regular schools. Chee Go is determined to attend | school in the face of much opnosition, and the board is between two fires. If the board refuses to admit him he will take legal proceedings in the matter. Thisis a | new problem in Stockton, and is especially hard for the board, as they are finding it difficult to secure room for regular pupils, and cannot afford to build a new schcol- house for the few Chinese children here. g e A VAGRANT RECOGNIZED. | He Was Wanted in Tulare for Burg- lary. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 18.—Constable J. W. Nantz of Tulare ran across a pris- oner to-day who is wanted in his county for burglary. The officer was taking a look at the County Jail and as quick as he set eyes on a vagrant called Prince he rec- ognized him as a .bad man known in Tulare as Golden. He was arrested there for breaking into J. Goldman & Co.’s store, and while awaiting trial he broke jail and made his escape. He will be turned over to Tulare officers on the expiration of his sentence. MEXICAN OFFICERS OUTWITITED. A Fugitive Pleads Guilty in San Diego to Save Himself. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Sept. 18.—A peculiar turn has taken place in the case of Fran- cisco Paderes, charged with horse-stealing. He was for ten months in jail at Ensenada, charged with murdering and burning an old German named Lempe and his wife, and escaped over the line to this county, where he was arrested for horse-stealing. Paderes pleaded not guilty and was to be | tried this week, but he learned that a Mex- jcan officer had been sent to Sacramento and obtained extradition papers upon which to arrest him and take him back to Ensenada. The officer made no pretense of hiding his purpose, and when itap- peared he would get Paderes ne boasted that the authorities below the line would make short work of him, This had the effect of making Paderes change his mind, and to-day he changed his plea to guilty, preferring to serve a term at San Quentin rather than face the murder charge. He protests his ocence of both charges, but says he knows the temper of the Mexican officers, and fears he would be shot without trial if he got into their clutches. Judge Torrance has withdrawn his order for a jury and will sentence Paderes in a day or two. Rlmoer fn INTERRED AT SAN ANDREAS. Masons in Charge of Ex-Licutenant-Gov- ernor Reddick’s Funeral.

Five lodges of Masons of this county were represented, and there was a large dele- gation from Jackson Lodge, Amador County. Services conducted by Pov. Mr. Day were held at the Reddick home. At the grave the Masonic services were read. Just | as the funeral cortege reached the ceme- | tery a heavy shower of rain fell, marring the services to a great extent.

Trestles Bullt Into the Track So the Surface Water May Flow as It Pleases. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 18.—A feature in the construction work of the Valley | Railroad between Stockton and the Stan laus River is the methods adopted by the | company to protect the grades from the | high water during the overflow season, and | at the same time not to turn the water on joining property. The grade is in the first place brought | ! above the highest water mark, as near as | the engineers could estimate from the sta- | tistics gathered. Every 1000 or 1500 feet the grade is broken by trestle bridges | about four feet in length, built to permit | the passuge of water whichever way it | may flow.” The earth is being thrown on | | each side witbfinclines toward theseopen- | | ings, thereby making a complete drainage for the water when it comes near enough to tha grade to become dangerous. These bridges are no light affairs, but are built on heavy piles sunk as far as | | eight feet in the ground. Instead of the | embankment forcing the waters back on ranches and roadways, it will be of great | value to property-owners in the matter of drainage. The pile-drivers have already | set the timbers for nearly twenty of these | crossings, and little gangs of men are | strung along the line finishing the bridges. Many of these are local mechanics who have been a long time out of work, but they now have a long job at good wages. Grant Brothers will move their main camp of 150 teams and as many men on Friday out beyond the ten-mile stretch. Mr. Grant stated to-day that the hardest part of the work was done, as they had finished the line in the adobe section and | they can accomplish double as much in a day from now on in the sandy loam nearer the river.

Fan e TILLAMOOK TROUBLE ENDED. Fishermen Have Settled All Difficulties vy Compromising. PORTLAND, Okr., Sept. 18.—The fisher- men’s trouble at Tillamook, which last week threatened to cost human life, was settled by a compromise yesterday. The fishermen asked 20 cents each for silver- sides and finally accepted 15, the old price, and they are to have free nets, free boats and free tanning for nets. This is prac(icul]g’ a victory for the | fishermen, and will be equal to about 20 cents per fish. As the run of Chinook| salmon is about over, they did not form s | part of the consideration in the settlement. | Armed men have been patrolling the bay up to date. Serious irouble was at one time expected, and several shots were ex- cnanged between the local fishermen and the outsiders. Several nets were cut and many fish were dumped into the bay. The run of silvers.des is good and the canneries will start up in full force to- morrow. e CELEBRATION AT PASADENA. Knights of Pythias Commemorate the Founding of Their Order.

Smallpox at the Indian School Is of a Mild Nature, CARSON, NEv., Sept. 18.—There are now eleven cases of smallpox at the Indian school, three miles from Carson. To-day Drs. Phillips and Lewis of the State Board of Health visited the place and found that everything had been done by Dr. Lee, the physician of the institute, toward making | the quarantine effective. The cases are of a mild type and no ap- prehension is felt in this city. Smallpox 1s a common disease with the Indians of Nevada, and when they are afflicted it sel- dom becomes epidemic outside their own people. As a precaution, however, the in- mates of all public institutions in the State have been ordered vaccinated. 1t is supposed that some Indians who came from the vicinity of Long Valley, Cal., brought the disease with them. Two years ago there were several cases of small- ox at the Indian school, but it did not go yond the institution and there were no fatal cases. ——— SUING IN REDWOOD CITY.

By a superhuman effort Oatzman suc- ceeded in reaching his cabin, a miie away, on Tuesday evening. Meantime he had been missed. Neighbors searched for him, saw the cave and in it expected to find his body. Then they searched the woods and Iinaily reached his cabin soon after he did. Although badly hurt, Oatzman will live. Four of fii« ribs were broken and he was cut and bruised about the head and body. — BRIBERY AT SALT LAKE. Indictments Against an Agent of a Fur. niture Company. SALT LAKE, Uram, Sept. 18.—Martin Hayken, agent for Andrews & Co., a furni- ture firm of Chicago, has been indicted by the Grand Jury in this city on three counts, charging him with, on March 4, offering bribes to Joseph R. Morris, Stmon Bamberger and J. P. Cahoon, then mem- bers of the County Board of Salt Lake County.

Salt Lake County recently built and fur- nished a new county Courthouse. The con- tract for furniture waslet to Andrews & Co., through Hayken, by the three mem- bers of the board for $55,000. The furniture was received and paid for, and now it is charged that the price paid was about double what the goods were worth, and that Hayken, on behalf of his firm, bribed the board and so induced it to award An- drews & Co. the contract at the exorbitant figure. SHOOTING AT SEATTLE Charles Esplin’s Miraculous Escape From Being Killed. He Was Shot by an Ex-Policeman During a Fierce Street Quarrel. SEATTLE, Wasn., Sept. 18.—Charles Esplin, a young man prominent in social and political affairs in this State, was shot to-night at 10:30 o’clock by ex-Policeman Douglas Phillips. His escape from death was most mirac- ulous. The ball from a 44 Colts revolver struck him over the left eye, and glancing around came cut above the ear, without even fracturing the skull. Phillips, who was drunk and possessed an imaginary grievance, followed Esplin and Robert Ehman, formerly a member of the city de- tective force about for an hour trying to ‘pick a quarrel. After having drawn a re- volver on Ehman and threatening to kill him, the policeman ten minutes later met Esplin and Ehman at the entrance to the Iorseshoe saloon. Phillips lost no time in renewing trouble and did_so, declaring, “I can whip any Democrat living.” He bad no more than uttered the words when Esplin, who is of the Democratic faith, knocked him down, and while bein, pummeled Phillips drew his revolver an fired, The men were parted and the gun- weilder was arrested and taken to jail. Lisplin was a member of ex-Governor Ferry's staff, and for four years served as adjutant of the First Regiment of the Na- tional Guard of Washington, under the late Colonel J. C. Haines. Until recently he' was employed in° the United States Surveyor-General’s office at Olympia. - MADERA FORGERY CASES. The Actions Against W. F. Baird Dis- missed by the Court. MADERA, Car., Sept. 18.—The Superior Court this morning dismissed the four cases of forgery against W. F. Baird, upon motion of District Attorney Wallace. There had been two petitions asking for the dismissal of the charges, one of them being presented to ex-District Attorney Welsh of Fresno (.‘mmt{ and one to ex- District Attorney Fee of Madera, and that, District Attorney Wallace said, coupled with the expense that it would entail in bringing the officers of the Pacific Bank to the trial, and the fact that nearly all of the available jurors in the countv had disqualified themselves from sitting in judgment upon his case, made him believe that the interests of the people would best be subserved by dismissing the cases. The court expressed similar views upon the matter and granted the motion. Baird’s wholesale forgery here has led many to believe that he was the primary cause of the downfall of the Pucitic Bank and the Bank of Madera. He is now sery- ing a six years’ sentence in Folsom. —— - A PORTLAND MAN MISSING. J. J. Williams, a Secret Society Man, Has Absconded. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 18.—J. J. Williams, late proprietor of the Portland Laundry, after mortgaging all his real property, has absconded. He was a very prominent secret society man, posing as the personification of honor. Among Williams’ victims are sixteen working girls whom he has defrauded out the aggregate sum of §1000, owing seyeral as much as$100each. A yearago Williams caused the arrest of one of his employes named Asol Welch, charging him with the embezzlement of a small sum of money. Williams at the time declared that he cared nothing for the money, but was opposed to enconraging dishonesty. ‘Welch, however, proved his innocence, and in turn sued Williams for false imprisonment, obtaining a verdict in the sum of $1200, out of which the absconder defrauded him. —_— SANTA MONICA'S LOSs.

EXPLAINS BIMETALLISM Students Clearly Shown the Aims of the Silver Champions. RESULTS OF DEMONETIZATION. Producing Classes Suffered When the White Metal’s Coinage Was Curtalled. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Sept. 18.—Stanford students were to-day given the opportunity of hearing the free silver question discussed by ex-Congressman W. J. Bryan of Nebraska. The auditorium was crowded with students. Tn the conrse cf his remarks ex-Congressman Bryan said: I regard the money question as the most important in the world to-day, and its settle- ment affects more vitally the interests of our people than the settlement of any other ques- tion that has been brought up since the time of peace. In a country like this, where laws arise from the people, where government is of the people and where every citizen is a sovereign, it is doubly important. This question is one on wkich people differ, vet difference of opinion wili depend upon difference of interest. You will generally find & man on the side of his interests. Parties vote as they believe; men expect their votes to protect their interests. 1 want to show you now what bimetallism is, and how we shall obtain it. If we find that the people desire it it would do no good unless we had some way of obtaining it. Iremember one man who said he was in favor of bimetal- lism because he thought that the Government should buy whatever kind of money it wanted. There is & gentleman -in Congress who said that he believed bimetallism would come, but thet gold would be the basis. Bimetaiiism simply means two-metallism—the fixing of the relation between the two metals, making both an equal legal tender. There is & misunderstanding as to what 16 to 1 means. Does it mean that the Government will coin sixteen silver dollars every time it coins one of gold? A Kentuesy “gold-bug” paper said that the reason the people of the South were in favor of free silver was because the Government would give $16 to one person. Sixteen to 1 means that the silver dollar will weigh sixteen times as much as one of gold. In paying power one ounce of gold will equal | sixteen ounces of silver. By free coinage we mean that if you have silver bullion yon may take it to the mint and have it made into money without cost. It | simply means that the Government will make silver money as it does gold, botn without charge. The reasons for this are apparent. In the first place coining money Is & function of Government, and, secondly, unless yon have gratnitions coinage you can have but one sound dollar that you know anything about—that is, sound money that is worth as much in bullion asin goid. For example, if you take 100 cents’ worth of bullion to the mint and it costs you 5 cents to have it coined into a silver dollar it will not be worth 100 cents, but 95 cents only. There are people who tell ns that we ought to have no other kind of money then gold, vet they want to have National' bank notes. The Government fixes the value of money when it stamps it; why not the same with silver? There would not be any difference between the bullion value and the coinage value. By unlimited coinage we meen to treat silver as we do gold. Some people belleve that if we have unlimited coinage of silver the country would be flooded with silver from abroad. Sup- pose the Englishman brings his silver to the mint and has it coined, what will he do with it? There is no use in taking it back with him; it would be useless in his own country. So, when he brings it here to be coined, he must use it here. This he can do in one of sev- eral ways: He can give us the money and go nome. This he wonld hardly be likely to do. He can exchange the silver for gold and take the gold home. This is what our opponents are afraid of. Mr. Carlisle, in a speech maae by him, said that over $600,000,000 would go out of cirenlation in this country, and this amount did go out of circulation. The cur- rency would be so contracted that silver would become deerer, and it would require fifteen years to coin enough to take its place. In conclusion, the speaker quoted many authorities to show that by the demoneti- zation of silver the great producing classes had been irreparably injured. The speaker was listened to with the closest attention and he was frequently ap- plauded, receiving an ovation at the termi- nation of his speech. L e FOOTBALL AT STANFORD. Training on the New Gridiron Will Soon Be Well Under Way. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Sept. 18.—Tne Stanford football men will soon be able to play on the new ‘‘gridiron.” Manager Eaton says that they can use it by the end of this week. The weeds have already been cleared off, the lines laid, and all that remains to be done is the harrow- ing of the ground and the making of yard lines. The goals will be erected in a day or two and the new field will be complete. Later in the season, when rains have soft- ened up the ground, a layer of soil will be put over the entire field. Captain Cochran and Manager Eaton have already arranged for the training table. Itis to be located in Encina, the men’s dormitory. . Just when it will be opened has not been definitely decided. Of course the older players and those showing up best in practice will have places, but the number will doubtless be limited it first to eighteen or twenty, and increased as the season advances and gobd players are develo) This evening some twenty-five men were at work in the gym- nasium, all of them being candidates for vlaces in the 'varsity eleven. 1f any one supposes that the men alone are interested in athletics here he is_labor- in%l“nder- misapprehension. The Ladies’ Athletic Association never started off with brighter prospects than this year. A series of clubs form the association, each club being managed by a committee ap- pointed, gy a board of directors. The board is composed of an elected repre- sentative from each class, and the entire work, superyision and expense is under- taken by this board. Club members have specialized their work, forming clubs in tennis, bicycling, archery and basket ball. Last year the Archery Club was very popular with lady students, and under the tutelage of Proiessors Allardice and Ab- bott, the members made rapid progress in the use-of the bow and arrow. In a tour- nament—the first ever held by the young ladies here—Miss Martin won the cham- pionship. She will have to lock to her laurels this year, as Misses Webster, Rose and Williams are ?nm.hfin' daily and sev- eral new players of ability will contest. The brl.egcle club starts off with a large membership. Under its captain and lieu- tenants, many runs will be taken. In basket-ball the Stanford co-eds last vear defeated the Y. W. C. team of San Francisco. They are_ endeavoring to ar- range a series of matches this year. The treasurer of the Ladies’ Athletic As- sociation has just made a zeport for year's expenses and receipts. It shows that some $60 was expended by the ladies, while contributions slightly exceeded this amount. Registrar Elliott reports that the enroll- ment has reached 950. The two Stanford publications, the Daily Palo Alto and the Sequoia, a weekly, have started off the college vear very prosper- ously from a newspaper standpoint. These publications are entirely the work of Stanford students, and reflect credit on the university.

Declined to Become Antagonistic Because They Were Gently Treated. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Sept. 18.— Ten thousand people left the big amphi- theater at dark this evening very much disappointed. The cattle wouldn’t fight a bit. To paraphrase the old adage;about the horse and the water, *You can drive abull into the ring, but you can’t make him fight.” The first bull made two or three charges against the red capotes and quit. Next came the black beast which made things lively at Monday’s fight, but sooun he, too, lost heart. A long-horned cow was no improvement; the same with a white steer and a heifer. Those five exhausted the stock of the corral. Some amusement was created by & num- ber of clowns, with gowns stuffed as large as barrels, allowing the heifer to butt them ard nip handfuls of excelsior from the abnormally large arms and legs. The one exciting incident was when the heifer tossed a clown over her head. The fact is that bulls, even the wild Spanish bulls, will not fight fiercely unles: they are made to feel sharp physical pain. It takes aceitillas, or littie spears, to ac- complish this end, and under the law for the prevention of cruelty to animals this could not be permitted. A bull who woula be certain to give battle was something the management could not furnish; hence the {u\rhnl failure of the great event for the ast day of the tiesta. oRr R SANTA BARBARA CROPS. Beans Are Late and Fruits Have Been Generally Profitable, SANTA BARBARA, Carn., Sept. 18.— Crop reports are coming in from all parts of the county, and a clear idea may for the first time Be obtained regarding this sea- son’s products. The lima-bean crop, one of the most im- portant in all the vallevs, will by no means reach the estimate made earlier in the sea- son, but will be about to the average. Along the southern coast it is exception- ally delayed, the unusual cool weather which prevailed in August having greatly retarded growth, so that some large fields are but just meking pods. Wheat, one of the great staples of the er valleys, rusted badly in most local- with the exception of the Santa Ynez alley, where there is & product only a little beneath the average in quantity and quality. The barley crop is prime, but the low prices ruling—35 to 40 cents per cental in the higher valleys, 40 to 50 cents in the Santa Maria Valley—will not_justify ship- ments, and the farmers and buyers are storing for improved prices. In the Santa Maria Valley a fair crop of apricots bronght the fruit-growers good prices, but she unusually heavy prune crop is a drug in the market, and prune-growers are discouraged. Hay of the best quality is selling for $6 and $6 50 per ton in the upper valleys, but brings §8 to §9 in the vicinity of Santa Barbara. Lompoc, which claims to produce the finest potatoes and the choicest apples in Southern California, has great yields of both this season, but will still have to depend upon her meager seaboard shipping facilities for getting rid of her crops. e e SPOKANE'S CHIEF OF POLICE.

SEATTLE, Wasu.,, Sept. 18.—H. R. Cay- ton, the negro editor of the Seattle Repub- lican, a weekly paper, is under arrest charged with criminal libel in alleging in the columns of his paper that E. F. Car- enter, the Sheriff of Lewis County, had en incarcerated in his own jail. Car- penter has not been under arrest, though the article set forth that he had met his downfall, which was alleged to be due to the time-worn causes—wine and women. Cayton admits that he was misled and im- posed upon by others in the publication of the article. - 4 Tacoma Banker Arrested. TACOMA, WasH., Sept. 18. —'W. B.
