The latter gentleman and his force of clerks have gone up a story, and now occupy the apartment, which had been fitted np for the Bureau of Highways, which has removed to the ground floor and settled in the vacated apartments of the Secretary of State. It isalso rumored that it is the intention of the executive department to shortly remove to the apart- ments on the second floor, now occupied by Adjutant-General Barrett, who will remove to the present executive of the alleged unhealthiness e Capitol building is given as a of proper ventilation throughout the ture and the condition of the base- 1 The basement is beneath the sur- face of the ground, and, in fact, lower than he level of the river.

The sewerage is extremely defective and the stench is at times almost unbearable. The condition of the basement makes the entire ground floor a favorite breeding spot for rheumatism and ague. Governor Budd's physician warned him several months ago, it is stated, that if he expected to have any freedom from rheu- matic attacks he must remove his quarters to an upper story, and it is claimed that his neglect to do so brought on the recent illness. The remedy for this condition of affairs is claimed to be the iutroduction of a com- plete system of ventilation and the thor- ough cementing of the floors and sides of the basement, which would exclude seep- age water and dampness. That these facts have been known to for- mer occupants of the State Department is evinced by the numerous bills which have been introduced in various Legislatures to effect these improvements, and which have invariably been framed so defectively in some particulars as to resultin their de- feat. For instance, during the last session Assembly bill 954, introduced by Reid, provided that $25,000 be appropriated for the completion of a thorough system of ventilation for the Capitol building. This measure met with the approval or both houses and passed into the hands of the Governor, but the executive found, after careful investigation and consultation on the: subject with Secretary .of State Brown, - that it would require at least $40,000 to introduce any kind of ventilating system, and that $25,000 ap- vlied for that purpose would be inade- quate; consequently he pocketed the meas ure, and it is probable that at the next TALK IS CHEAP, Easy to Make Rules—To Observe Them Is Another Thing. Mr, Blank closed the book impatiently and flung it away. It was a learned treatise on hygiene—how to preserve perfect health. “If I have to observe all these rules I'll have no time for anything else. Who'll pay the landlord, the butcher and the baker?” So meny “rules of health” seem to presup- pose a social system where everybody can take the best care of his body; where overexertion, exposure, irregular diet, impure air, food. and water and & thousand other disease-breeding conditions can be totally avoided. That is impossible, even for the wealthiest, Make your system nearly impervious to mor- bific infiuenees and disease germs; store up a sort of sinking fund of reserve strength and vigor to resist unusual drains on your vitality. Peruvian Bitters will accomplish this. They not only cure indigestion, loss of appetite, las- situde, malaris, colds, etc., but they tone up the system to resist their appearance. Per- vian Bitters give such efficiency to thediges- tive system that it produces surplus nutrition and vitality—something in excess of daily needs—that keeps us up:in the “hourof trisls.”.

Fruit - Drying Favored by Abnormally Warm and Dry Weather. SACRAMENTO, Car., Oct. 1.—The State Agricultural Society, in co-operation with the United States Weather Bureau, James A. Barwick director, issues the following crop summary for the past week: The average temperature for the week ending Monday, September 30,-was: For Eureka 54, Fresno 76, Independence 72, Los Angeles 72, Red Bluff 78, Sacramento 73, San Francisco 64, San Luis Obispo 66, San Diego 68. As compared with the normal temperature, an excess of heai is reported as follows for the places name Eureka, nominal conditions prevail ; Fresno, an ex- cess of heat of four degress; Los Angeles 4, Red Bluff 9, Sacramento 6, Sar Francisco 3, San Diego 2. No rainfall has been re- ported. The abnormally warm, dry and cloud- less weather has been of the greatest bene- fit possible for the raisin-makers and for those who' are drying late fruit, such as prunes, pears and peaches, and is also excellent weather for harvesting the bean crop, which crop suffered very severely from the extremely high winds of the 21st of September in Ventura County, the winds called “Santa Anas” coming much earlier than usual in Southern California. Hop-picking is about completed and the drying of late fruit will end in about ten or twelve days if the weather continues fayorable. e SET FIRE TO HIS CELL. Latest Exploit of Roy Stone, the Infant In- cendiary. SACRAMENTO, Cavr, Oct. 1.—Roy Stone, the 6-year-old incendiary, who has been confined in the City Prison pending an inqguiry as to what punishment coald be inflicted for his crime of starting fires in two livery- stables last week, added new laurels to his reputation by setting fire this afternoon to the cell 1 which he was confined. The blaze was discovered and extinguished be- fore it haa gained much headway. Asthelad is too young to send to the reform school under the existing laws pro- ceedings will be instituted to consign him to State prison, from which he can be transferred to the reform school. LR Claims Fitzgerald Is in Error. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Oct. 1.—Controller Colgan, after & hard week’s study on pro- bate law matters, has decided that Attor- ney-General Fitzgerald’s decision that he (Colgan) would be obliged to render a written opinion as to the legality of the 'proofs in the escheated estate of Jean Martin, will not have to be ded by, and he has notified Attorney Le Breton that the proper way in which pro- ceedings should be instituted to recover the amount, which is about $8000, should be under section 1 il Procedure. TROUBLE AT PASADENA, Liquor-Sellers Begin a Test of the Ordinance Regulating Saloons. If Declared Invalid Other Clty Laws Will Become Null and Void. PASADENA, CaL., Oct. 1.—Local strife over the liquor question has reached an acute stage. A liquor ordinance passed by the city allows the sale of liquor at certain places auring specified and restricted hours. This ordinance 1s subject to occa- sional violations, but for several years past Paszdena has been practically a pro- hibition town, at least go far as external vision extended. Recently a great wave of moral reform was started by temperance people, and the conflict has grown so bitter that an antag- onism has developed on both sides. Where evidence was wanting against druggists and others supposed to have at times vio- lated the ordinance it has been secured by detectives employed to purchase liquor at the suspected places. The following card, printed in a local paper, shows the state of affairs: To whom it may concern: During last week one Ed Hobson of this city offered to John Ralston, also of this city, & sum of money if he would procure at my store & bottle of whisky contrary to existing laws. I hereby give pub- lic notice that I shall prosecute to the full ex- tent and hold for personal damage any person who will by counsel, putiic speech or the con- tribution of money, aid or assist, or in any other menner use their influence to tewmpt myself or those in my employ tocommita misdemeanor against any existing law or city ordinance. AUGUST LANG, Druggist. Every day brings cases into court of alleged violations of the law, and circum- stances have develoved to-day which bid fair to complicate matters. Harry F. Luke, the restaurant-keeper who was somie time ago found guilty of baving violated the local ordinance and whose sentence was suspended pending an appeal in the Su- perior Court, to-day waived the appeal and surrendered himself to the City Mar- shal, who put him in jail. This action was taken at the suggestion of Luke’s attorney, who to-day applied for and was granted a writ of habeas corpus in Judge Smith’s court in order to test the validity of the Pasadena liquor ordinance. Argument in tie case will be beard before Judge Smith at 10 o’clock to-morrow mominf The strong point which Judge Hester makes is that when the city offices were moved in February, 1893, from the Hop- kins block to the White block it was done by resolution instead of by ordinance as required by law. Thirteen months later the alleged error was discovered and an or- dinance of like import was passed. The local liquor ordinance was framed and f{assed during these thirteen months. Judge esterargues, therefore, that the ordinance was never legally passed. The outcome of the case will be watched with great interest, for if Judge Hester carries his point not only will the liquor ordinance be invalid, but all other city business of a legal nature transacted be- tween February 27, 1893, when the city of- ices were moved, and March 26, 1894, when the alleged necessary ordinance warranting suchremoval was passed, will also be de- clared nuil. e VYON HUBEBT ALIVE AND WELL. Santa Barbara’s Supposed Murder Mystery Cleared. SANTA BARBARA, Cawn, Oct. 1— J. G. de 1a Cuesta, Deputy Sheriff, has re- ceived a communication from a Deputy Sheriff of Idaho County which solves the mysterious disappearance of Prospector von Hubert, of whose murder De la Cuesta’s party was indirectly suspected, The letter reads as follows: FIDDLE CREEK, IDAHO, Sept. 24. The Von Hubert mystery has come to an end. We have not left one stone unturned. 1 dis- covered yesterday that the morning he left Florence he came down on the Salmon River to A.

The Schooner Marvin Claimed to Have Been Unjustly Seized. o If Vindicated In the Courts Sults Against This Government Will Follow. VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 1.—Now that H. M. 8. Pheasant has returned from the sea- son’s patrol duty in Bering Sea it1s ex- pected that the cases against the seized schooners Beatrice and E. B. Marvin will be immediately proceeded with in the Admiralty Court, the prosecution against the latter vessel being regarded as a mere formality necessary for her more complete and public vindication. The Marvin was seized by Captain Hooper of the Rush, for having one skin in its possession bearing a mark resem- | bling a bullet hole. Captain Hooper con- cluded to disbelieve the sealing captain’s HOP CANP. children—were buying the trifles dear to the aboriginal heart—bright-colored silk handkerchiefs, red calico, cowboy hats, and watermelons. The natives had gathered in the Russian River Valley from Lake and Mendocino counties to harvest the hop crop, and on Saturday their work was done. were paid off, and 400 celebrated the occa- sion, leaving a large portion of their earn- ings with local merchants. They were very peaceable in their demonstrations, for the officers watched them carefully and prevented any red wine getting mixed up with them. The copper-colored guests are leaving for their tepees, and the spectacle they present is picturesque in the extreme. Nearly all the men are mounted on Indian ponies, while their wives walk and carry heavy loads. It is estimated that the 400 red people earned $10,000 picking hops, half of which was spent in this place for finery. When a CALL correspondent visited the camp he asked to see the leader or chief and was somewhat surprised to be led up They | denial, and madé the vessel 2 prisoner for | having used firearms in Bering Sea con- trary to the terms of the Faris award. The story of the Marvin’s skipper is now not only borne out by Commander Garforth of the British ship, but he states that the cer- | tificate of the American officers as to the | schooner's ammunition ot having been broken since she left Atu will itself greatly favor the vessel’s case. Of course, if vindicated in the courts the Marvin will ask the United States for ac- tual and speculative damages. The case af the Beatrice is very different, and it is generally believed that the vessel will be convicted and confiscated. Victoria sealers regard as a clumsy hoax the report wired from here to the effect that Captain Folger has given important | information to the United States authori- | ties in regard to Canadian sealers using firearms in Bering Sea. Folger was at Atu when the sealers gath- ered there, and till then the sealers did not know that the order which required the sealing of arms had been canceled by Great Britain. The privilege, if such it can be called, of not beirg obliged to have arms officially sealed, the masters of Brit- ish schooners generally regard as a disad- /4 ) B> T \ PRINCESS MARY BUCK OF TEE SOLYANO INDIANS AND HER PAPPOOSE, [From a photograph by Price of Healdsburg.] to a comely young maiden named Mary | vantage rather than a blessing, for it uts Buck.

MERCED, Carn.,, Oct. 1. — The State Grange met in this city this morning, and opened in due form with nearly all granges represented. Absent delegates are on the way, and a full attendance is expected to-morrow. A large number of members of the order are present in addi- tion to the actual members of the State Grange. The arrival of TRE CALL with its com- plete history of the grange evoked much favorable comment from the members for the enterprise displayed in supplying in- formation of much value to the younger members of the order, who were not familiar with its early history. To-day’s session was occupied by reports of officers of the State Grange and the subordinate granges. The report of Master A. P. Roache wasanable document, cover- ing the operations of the last year, and showing the order to be in a prosperous condition. It discussed the subjects of finance, transportation, co-operation, education, agriculture, college, legislation and good of the order, with some minor matters, and was duly referred to the com- mittees in charge of the several subjects. A spirit of earnestness is very noticeable in those present, and it is believed that the real work of the session, which begins to- morrow, will develop important and well- considered - plans for the advancement of the farming interests. Agricultural Pavilion was the scene this evening of a brilliant reception given in honor of the delegates to the grange. The large hall was filled with men and women, and the spirit of welcome to the visiting guests pervaded the entire audience. The programme was opened by an over- ture by the Merced concert band, followed by remarks from E. T. Dixon, the presi- dentof the evening, and music by a quartet composed of Miss Jessie Peck, Miss Emma Perry, A. Scofield and F. Landram. J.F. Peck made the address of welcome, which was responded to by the worthy master of | the State Grange, A. P. Roache. A. Bick- ford of the local grange also delivered an address. Then followed a barytone solo by George Brentner and “The Star- spangled Banner” by Miss Peck. The programme closed with an interesting flag drill by forty-eight pu[)ils of the public schools, and dancing followed. SANTA ROSA TRIALS. Three Men Who Must Answer for Violent Crimes.
