Captain Rouse Compelled to Beach the Vessel at Lone Ranch. EEPT AFLOAT BY ITS CARGO. A Portlon of the Lumber With Which the Schooner Was Laden’ Saved. PORTLAND, Og., Oct. 5. — Captain Farenholt's office to-day received par- ticulars from the lighthouse - keeper at Cape Blanco of the wreck of the steam schooner Maid of Oregon, lnmber laden, from Seattle to San Francisco. The news was brought to the keeper by a settier at Lone Ranch, some six miles north of the cape. It appears that the Maid of Oregon was first sighted on September 8, some miles off shore, but in an evidently disabled con- dition. For two days it remained in sight without any apparent effort being made by those on board to bring it closer to the shore. On the 1ith, sail was set on the schooner, it being apparent that the captain intended beaching the craft. It came ashore that afternoon during a south- east gale. The next morning her com- mander, Captain John Rouse, with the chief engineer, who owns the schooner, and the crew of four men, made a success- ful landing on the beach. The Maid of Oregon carried 140,000 feet | of lumber, which prevented the sinking of the'vessel. About'40,000 feet of the cargo was saved. This port is the schooner's home port, its captain and srew being well known here. No particulars are given in the report as to how the vessel sprarga leak. T WOOD’'S CRIME. ROAD AGEN Oregon Outlaw Held to Await a Grand Jury's Action. PORTLAND, Or., Oct.5.—Elda Wood, who held up the Roseburg-Coos Bay stage early in August and who was not captured until September 25, was brought here to await the action of the United States Grand Jury, soon to convene. Wood is about 24 years of age. He went to Ollalla early last April from Marion County and began work on afarm. He was employed during July to assist in the postoffice, and while there made himself The acquainted with the werkings of the office | and the mails. There wasa boy in the postoftice from whom he learned some matters by plying him with questions. It was from the lad that he ascertained that the through mailpouch had a brass lock on,and that was thelsack he told the stage- driver to throw out. Wood had also told two men in Olalla that when he got ready he proposed to hold up the stage and intended to do a good job; that he did not propose to re- main around Olalla ail the time. The tes- timony of the boy and the two men at the examination made matters look very cloudy for Wood. The two pistols sup- posed to be used by Wood at the holdup were purchased from the Postmaster at Olalla and were identified by the stage- driver. g oSG S Murderer Ellsworth Sentenced. PORTLAND, Og., Oct. 5—William K.

SANTA ROSA, Can, Oct. 5. — Dr, Stephens of Petaluma occupied the wit- ness-stand to-day as anexpert on insanity, in the trial of Dennis McCarthy, charged with the murder of George Fox last April. The defendant is relying entirely on the plea of insanity and sits during the trial with bowed head, apparently without the slightest interest in the proceedings. Dr. Stephens broke the record in insan- ity cases by avoiding the use of technical terms. He stated that while many Euro- pean specialists hold that all criminals are insanc he does not go so far, but that it was his opininion that the majority of criminals are insane. He held asan eyi- dence of the insanity of McCarthy the in- stinet of self-preservation was notably ab- sent immediately after the shooting and since his imprisonment, and also his adapt- ation to environment. S McCarthy formerly lived in San Fran- eisco, and his father, brother and sister are here attending the trial. s iy High School Dedication.

The Jury Trying Anderson Unable to Reach a Verdict, MADERA, CAL., Oct. 5—The trial of Andrew Anderson, on a charge of arson, terminated to-day without a verdict, seven jurors voting for acguittal and five for convyiction. Anderson, it was alleged by the prosecu- tion, was the accomplice of Fournier, re- cently released on a writ of habeas corpus by the Supreme Court of this State. The trial of the case has consumed a week and a half. The prosecution relied upon a con- fession that Anderson had made at the jail, subsequently to his preliminary exam- ination. After arguinents of a day and a half this confession was admitted in evi- dence, but in some particulars it varied considerably from the rest of the testimony introduced by the prosecution. Witnesses testified that Anderson wes seen running away from the scene of the fire some twenty minutes before the alarm was sounded. The defense attempted to prove an alibi, and 1ntroduced proof to show that the con- fession was made for the purpose of impli- cating Fournier, by Anderson, in order to esc: [pc from & mob which had as- sembled at the jail and was threatening to hang Anderson. Anderson evaded the mob, the Sheriff taking him to Borden and thence sending him to Fresno. Anderson’s next trial will take place on the 15th of this month. BETRAYED HIS COMPANION John Stencel Weakened After Planning an Idlewild Robbery. Directed the Movements of Young White and Then Informed the Sherlff. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Oct. 5.—A remarkable case [of misplaced confidence developed to-day in that of Charles White, the youth who held up the Idlewild post- office Thursday night. He was, 1 one sense, the victim of John Stencel, a colored bootblack, who has frequently figured in Police courts. White was hanging around Stencel's stand Thursday morning, and in conver- sation with the bootblack said he was pen- niless and would like to ‘‘make & raise.” Stencel suggested the hold-up, describ- ing the premises accurately and saying that he had the project in mind himself. Stencel bought a revolver for White, and to all intents and .purposes was a full Ea;—mer in the job, his share of the work eing to stand outside the store and watch while White held up the storekeeper. He accompanied White to Idlewild and sta- tioned himself outside. However, early in_the afternoon Stencel hunted up ex-Sheriff John C. King and told him how he had overneard a con- versation over the plans for the robbery. Acting on this information King and Con- stable West went to Idlewild and succeed- ed in capturing White in the act. The young culprit, until the facts developed, was anxious to plead guilty and begin serving his sentence at once, but now that the whole story is out he will plead not guilty, as his penalty will possibly be ighter. The police authorities are unable to de- termine whether Stencel in good faith started into the enterprise and then weak- ened, or whether he desired to curry favor with the police for future leniency. He has paid handsome sums into the city treasury for wife-beating alone. e DIED AT PASADENA. Passing of Alewander Stowell, Bright's Disease.

Rideout of Marysville Chosen President of the Association. MEET NEXT AT LOS ANGELES. J. M. Elllott Named as Delegate to the Convention at At- lanta. FRESNO, Cav., Oct. 5.—The work of the California Bankers’ Association ended this morning. When President White called the meeting to order he suggested that as the National Bankers' Association convened on the 15th, 16th and 17th of this month at Atlanta, Ga., it would be well to elect a delegate to attend that convention. The name of J. M. Elliott of Los Angeles was proposed, and he was unanimously elected as delegate. A communication was received from the Los Angeles Clearing-house inviting the association to hold its next annual meet- g at Los Angeles. A vote of thanks was unanimously extended to the Los Angeles Clearing-house and its invilation was accepted. The matter of fixing the date for the meeting in 1896 was referred to the executive committee. J. E. Ward of the Modesto National Bank read a paper on *‘Bank Legislation— 4 Critisim of Our Banking Laws.” The paper treated the subject thoroughly and was well received. 3 Leopold Gundelfinger of Fresno sug- gested that before the convention ad- journed it discuss the proposition of re- questing California’s representatives in Congress to use their influence to secure the early completion of the Nicaragua Canal and the improvement of the naviga- ble rivers of this State. He then placed the suggestion in the form of & motion. It was found, however, that the association had already taken such steps, which were embodied in Mr. Gundelfinger’s motion at a previous meeting, and that it was also provided for in the resolutions that were to be adopted. The report of the auditing committee was presented and accepted. H. W. Hewlitt, president of the First National Bank of Stockton, presented the following report of the committee on reso- lutions, which was adopted: Resolved, That this convention is unani- mously opposed to the free and unlimited coin- age of silver on a basis of 16 to 1, or any other ratio whereby the material in a silver dollar will have less commercial value than its gold brother, but is in favor of an international agreement to place silver on a parity with gold. Resolutions were also presented thank- ing the gentlemen who had read papers before the convention, and adopting the paper of H. W. Magee as expressing the views of the convention on the subject treated, ““Why Banks Fail.” Another resolution thanked Benjamin C. ‘Wright for his able paper, and still another thanked the press of Fresno for its reports of the proceedings and the people of Fresno for their hospitality in entertaining the members of the association. C. E. Palmer of the Union Club and Na- tional Bank of Oakland, chairman of the committee on nominations, stated that, after long and careful consideration, the committee was prepared to make the fol- lowing nominations: President, N. D. Rideout of the Rideout Bank of Marysville; vice-president, Frank Miller of the National Bank of D. 0. Mills, Sacramento; secretary, R. M. Welch of the San Francisco S8avings Union; treasurer, G. W. Kline of the Crocker-Woolworth Bank; executive council, to fill vacancies, John Reichman of the Farmers’ Bank of Fresno; J. E. Ward of the Modesto National Bank of Oakland. A motion was made and carried that banks with less than $50,000 paid-up capi- tal stock, be admitted to membership upon the payment of annual dues of $5. Those banks having a capital of over $50,000 will pay the present dues, $10, A motion to the effect that the selection of vice-presidents by the county delega- tions be postponed until the members had gone home, and that they make their recommendation by mail, was made, but when it was shown that except in the larger cities it would be difficult to geta meeting of delegates, the motion was with- drawn and a substitute proposed, to the effect that such delegations as were pre- pared to do so make the nominations dur- ing the convention. The roll of counties was then called and the following made nominations for vice-presidents: Alameda, J. E. Baker; Butte, A. H. Crews; Colusa, ‘W. H. Harrington; Contra Costa, L. C. Wittenmeyer; Fresno, 0. J. Woodward; Los Angeles, B. M. Green; Sacramento, William Beckman; San Benito, C. W. Hawkins; San Francisco, S. G. Murphy; San Joaquin, P. B. Fraser; Santa Clara, J. W.

A vote of thanks was extended to Colonel William Forsyth of Fresno for his presen- tation to the delegates of cartons of raisins as souvenirs of the convention. President N. D. Rideout then took the chair, made a pithy speech, and after all the other newly elected officers had been called on for speeches the convention ad- journed. The visiting bankers were banqueted at the Hughes Hotel by the local bankers to- night. The affair surpassed anything of the kind ever held in Fresno. To-morrow morning the guests will be driven through the vineyards and colonies. A number of the bankers will return to their homes tw- morrow night, while others will remain over t1ll Monday or Tuesday. SRl g e SUBSISTED ON RAISINS. Plight of San Francisco Girls Hired to Work in the Packeries. FRESNO, Car., Oct. 5—The forty-five girls who were brought here afew days ago from San Francisco by the local raisin- packers to work in the packing-houses have, according to their own stories, re- ceived shameful treatment in this city. Had it not been for the kindness of Father Garriga of the Catholic church a number of them would have suffered the severest straits of starvation. As it was they saf- fered enough to place the stigma of shame upon those who grougm them here. The girls were told at the employment agency in San Francisco that their car- fares would be paid. to this city and that board and loaging had been arranged for them upon their arrival. When they ar- rived bere only a few had monej', and these but small sums. The promised com- fortable places of board and lodme did not materialize; in fact, the packers had made no arrangements for them. The izu-ls managed to get rooms with what ittle money they had, however, but had none for food, everything baving to be paid for in advance. £ They were placed at work immedute‘l{ upon their arrival, and being inexperi- enced, they could make only 75 cents on an average ver day; and this was withheld by the packers for the carfares which they had advanced, Finally a number of them made a tearfu! appeal to Father Garriga this morning. 'hey told him that they had not eaten anything but raisins for the past two days and that they would have to vacate their lodgings, for which they had no more money to pay. The Father represented the matter to a number of citizens, and a purse was quickly raised for the unfortunate girls, and they were supplied with meal-tickets ana comfort- able lodgings. R MR BOXMAKERS STRIKE. Workmen in Raisin Packing-Houses Demand More Pay. FRESNO, Car., Oct. 5—The boxmakers in the local raisin packing-houses, about seventy-five In number, held a meeting last night and decided to go out on a strike for higher wages. They have been re- ceiving 50 cents for making 100 boxes and 221¢ and 25 cents for putting on covers. According to this scale the strikers claim they could make only from $1 50 to $2 by working twelve and fourteen hours a day. They demand 70 cents for making boxes and 30 cents for putting on the covers. It is said that the packers will resist the strike although the supply of boxmakers in this city is somewhat short.

WAR, The Street Railway Company Refuses to Do Its Share 2 of Work. May Be Deprived of Its Franchise If It Still Holds Out Against the Trustees. SANTA ANA, CaL., Oct. 5.—The paving of Fourth street, between Main and Spur- geon, was commenced on Monday, and one side of that area is now dowr: to grade, ready for the concrete. The contractors have thirty-five days in which to complete the work. An interesting phase of this matter is the attitude of the street railway company, which has refused to pave its line in these two blocks. M. J. Bundy, superintendent tem, declares that the company will forfeit its franchise sooner than incur any further expense, As it has been ordered by the City Trus- tees'to do the paving there seemsto be no alternative except forfeiture. Under the franchise held by the company the Trus- tees have the vower to annul its entire privileges within the city limits if it doea not pave its line in accordance with the specifications adopted. -—— SANTA 4NA FAIR, Open House on the Opening Day Has Been Determined Upon.

This will start the races off with'a tre- mendous attendance, and it is generally believed that the interest created will work to advantage for the remainder of the week. The directors are also working on a new feature for one day, the date of which is not yet determined. An endeavor is being made to capture a live wildcat or fox.

Extortionate Rallroad Rates Neces- sitates Resorting to Ships and Teams. VACAVILLE, Car., Oct. 5—Vacaville is rapidly recovering from the effects of the recent fire and before next summer there will be little or no evidence left to mark the spot that the flames swept over. 'The class of buildings being erected will add much to the appearance of the town, as all those on Main street will be of brick, while those burned were of wood. J. H. Lewes and J. A. Snyder have their building well started. D. K. Corn’s livery stable is nearly completed and several others will start as soon as the brick ar- rives. A.C. Bowles will erect a two-sto: forty-room hotel on the site of the ol Central Hotel. Besides this work there are a number of residences and cottages being erected which, taken with the other work, makes business quite lively. During August and September F. B. Chandler. the lumber merchant, with yards at Vacaville, Elmira and Winters, has saved between $1500 and ?aooo in transportation alone. Mr. Chand- er former!; i:i all his lumber come in on the railroad, but the rates on the Vacaville branch were so exorbitant that he decided to ship by schooner to Suisun and haul from there with teams—a distance of ten miles to Vacaville and twenty to Winters. Four six-horse teams and two four-horse teams are employed in the hauling, and about 600,000 feet were handled in the two months. - This is only one of the many instances of the saving that could be effected if & lower rate og transportation were ranted Vacaville to the main line, four miles dis- tant. Notwithstanding the fact that thousands of loaded cars are sent out and received here during the year Vacaville is compelled to pay a rate considerably higher for East- ern shipments than towns hundreds of miles further lwu{. Considering the im- mense volume of business done here the merchants think they should be granted terminal rates. e TROUBLE BREWING AT ADAMS. Repetition of the Jacksons Hole Atrocity Feared. PENDLETON, O=r., Oct. 8.—Writing from Adams under date of October 3, John F. Elliott says: “If the Government does not tak€ steps to prevent it there will be a repetition of the Jacksons Hole atrocity in this State. Already open threats of stopping by vio- lence Indians from hunting and fishing in adjacent mountains have been made, and Agent Harper at the Umatilla reservation has received letters warning him not to allow the Indians to hunt in certain dis- tricts where the game is most plentiful, There are signs of trouble, and prompt action is required.” fo 8l SIS IMPROVEMENTS AND CROPS. New Buildings Despite Small ¥ields Re. ported From Lompoo. LOMPOC, CAL., Oct. 5.—This town and valley are making some very material im- provements this fall in spite of the prevail. ing low prices of farm produets.

Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn feel very grate- ful to the public for the confidence with which it accepts and responds to their printed utterances. Their many years' experience in treating all forms of catarrhal and kindred chronic diseases entitles them to speak au- thoritatively on the subject, and it is particu- Iarly pleasing to feel that the public appre- ciates and acknowledges this fact. Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn desire to call attention to the fact that as winter approaches now is undoubtedly the time to treat catarrh. Now we have nature to assist us in the treat- ment instead of retarding it.

Copeland, al and Winn to all their fr‘end! an atients, old as well as new, to call and test the new treatment. It has passed thestage of experiment and has been demonstrated a complete success, particularly in those cases which have withstood the other and older methods of treatment. They have added 10 their already complete offices the new appli- ances, and are ready to treat all those more stubborn cases which in the past have been thought incurable. It is to their financial in- terest, as well as their medical fame, to cure, for one cured patient is worth many dollars of advertising. They have the best treatment and the new and direct means of using it. WHAT IS CATARRH. Drs. Copeland, Neal and Winn are frequently asked: “What is catarrh?” and “How can a person tell when he has the disease?’ Briefly, catarrh in this climate is chiefly the resuit of neglected colds or a sticcession of colds. Begin- ning with naso-pharyngeal irritation (that s, the cold first settles at the junction of the back part of the nose and upper portion of the throat) the rrhal inflammation rapidly ex- tends upward through the Eustachian tubes into the ears, causing: Buzzing, roaring, hissing or ringing sounds. The hearing is %rndulllj impaired. The noises and impaired hearing are always worse in demp weather and when the patient | has & cold. The ears cften discharge. At other times the ears are dry, itchy nnd' filled with wax. Earache is a frequent accompaniment, ugeoul}y in children. ontinuing its course upward, the catarrhal inflammation extends through the lachrymal ducts into the conjunctival mucous membrane. The eyelids become inflamed and red. They ‘are also often glued together in the morning with a sticky, tenacions mucus. The eyesight becomes blurred and often im- aired. L bright light causes intense pain. The eyes become weak and watery. There is a deep-seated aching pain in the eyeballs. A dull pain often exists over region of eyes and in temples. The nostrils are frequently stopped up, first one side and then the other. There are little swellings noticed in the nos- trils, making breathing often difficult. These swellings are aggravated by damp weather. These swellings are also aggravated when the patient has a cold. The nostrils often discharge mucus, which varies in character. Sometimes this mucus is slimy and drops back into the throat. At other times it is tough and tenacious and requires considerable blowing and snuffing back into the throat to dislodge. A feeling of tightness is oiten noticed over the bridge of the nose. Extending downward from its naso-pharyn- geal origin, the throat becomes affected. The mouth and throat in morning are filled with mucus. Sometimes this mucus is jellv-iike in appear- ance, causing considerable hawking and spit- ting to dislodge. At times the mucus issotough and tenacious that gagging and even nausea and vomiting result from efforts to dislodge it. At other times the mucns is siimy in nature, and is dislodged without difficulty. The above symotoms are those of moist or discharging catarrh. In the dry condition there is a tickling or scratchy feeling in the throat. This causes a tickling, spasmodic or hacking ough. There is & bad taste in the mouth in the morning. o The tongue is usually badly coated. The breath is often foul. There is pain and stiffness in back of neck. Extending down the esophageal mucous membrane, the stomach, and later the bowels, become sffected. The appetite is abnormal; it may be lost, in- creased or pervérted. There isa weight, dull pain and a sense of burning in the pit of the stomach after taking food. This {s accompanied by flatulence and heart- burning. Alternate constipation or diarrhes. 4 A dull headache, languor, depression of spir- its and irritability of temper. A bitter taste in the mouth. The tongue is coated and breath foul. Pain at the heart, accompanied by palpt | tion ana shortness of breath, making th | tient think he nas heart disease. | * Again, there is a short, dry cough and occa. sfonal paroxysms of an asthmatic character. ‘The skin becomes sallow, dry and rough and various eruptions appear. Bo it is seen that catarrh causes a long t. of symptoms but little understood and ap; ciated by the average physician, because i comes in_ contact with so few patients. Frc an experience of many years in treating a average of 100 patients daily, Drs. Copelan Neal and Winn feel that they are justified | claiming that caterrh affects the whole syste the eyes, ears, nose, throat, bronchial tub lungs, stomach, bowels, kidneys, liver, bladder, etc., ete. |~ They also feel justified in claiming that their | new system of treatment, consisting of local medication combined with administration of medicine internally, is the only rational method of cure. In this they are certainly sus- tained by the hundreds of testimonials from | reputable citizens which bave been published during the pust four yea: THEIR CREDENTIALS. Dr. W. H.

VARICOCELE : The scie'n'tific term “Varicocele” is used to describe a swollen, lifeless condition of the veins leading to the vital parts. It is the ‘most treacherous of life- eating diseases and is respon- sible for the destruction of the vital strength in men more than any other disease known. It is becoming more common every day. Being undemonstrative at first, starting from a strain, from indiscretion or excesses, it grad- ually develops in the scope of its destructive influence until it saps the very foundation from the vital structure. Itleads men to Spermatorrhea, Impotency and General Nervous Debility. The best remedy for the cure of Varicocele is DR.
