RS L STANFORD AGAINST OAKLAND. University Freshmen Will Meet the High Sehool Football Tram. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Caw., Oct. 16 —The freshmen were somewhat in- balf, Daly; left half, Diggles; quarterback, Clemens; fuliback, Lanagan. Thus far the freshman team has proved weak.more because of lack of practice as a team than because individnal men are lacking in ability. It must be admitted, however, that the team is very light, and unless there is more of a tendency to get the men ali out at regular signal practice, it is a foregone conclusion that the team’s record will not be a brilliant one. —_— Racing at Mewmarket.

A second suit against John C. Bull, as contractor for the Government work now being done on Humboldt bar, was also commenced here to-day. This growsout of the accident on the south jetty on the night of July 17, when Edward Inman and Angus McDonald were carried over- board with two falling rockcars and drowned.

The San Francisco Improvement Company is heavily in- terested in the contract, but it is saia the company is secured against loss in damage suits by insurance. A third suit, probabiy for the same amount, may be commenced soon by relaiives of Kenneth Ferguson, who was injured in the same accident’ and died two days later from blood poisoning.

SANTA PROSA, CaL., Oct. 16.—Professor Thomas Carlton, a weil-known musician, and Harry Smith, a blacksmith, both of Windsor, were thrown from & carriage this afternoon and seriously injured They had started from Windsor to drive | to this city with a spirited team of horses. Just at the outskirts of town the bit in the mouth of one of the horses broke and t.e team was soon beyond the driver's con- trol. For a few hundred yards the fright- ened horses kept in the middle of the road, | but finaliy they got upon the sidewalk and collided with awful force with a telegraph pole. ‘When the crash came Smith was thrown fully thirty feet forward, receiving a bro- ken arm and other injuries. Professor Carlton’s flight through the air was rested by the telegraph pole, upon which he struck head first, the result being a broken nose, and a deep and perhaps fatal gash in the head.

The Superintendent Declares That His Antagonist’s Reason Is Tottering. NAPA, Can, Oct. 16.—For several months past the friendly relations form- erly existing between the members of the medical fraternity at the insane asylum in this city have been decidedly strained and this condition culminated resterday ina fight, the ultimate result of which will vrobably be that one or the other of the contestants will be called upon to resign. It is also elaimed that the bone of con- tention was a matter of policy in the administration of certain wards of the institution. At all events Dr. A. M. Gard- ner and Assiatant Resiaent Physician G. R. Bowles had a hand-to-hand conflict, in which Dr. Gardner received a severe blow from a manzanita club in the hands of Bowles and the latter a severe pummel- ing from the fists of Dr. Gardner. The local attendants were obliged to interfere and separate the infuriated combatandts. Dr. Gardner’s story of the battie is as follows: “As Istepped into Dr. Bowles' department, just previous to the trouble, 1 picked up a small feather duster and began to brush the dust from my shoes. While doing so Dr. Bowles said: * 'See here, Garaner, you might as well understand o:ie thing at this time as well as at any otber time, and that is that you can’t come into my dgpartment and | brush the dirt off of your shoes. If you want to do that. get out.” “For a moment [ was thunderstruck, and then I replied: “ ‘Why, doctor, I haye always been accustomed to do this.’ “As soon as I said that, Dr. Bowles reached under his desk and caught up a manzanita club, some three feet in length, and started toward me, Seeing the use- lessness of trving to avoid him, I ran at him, throwing up my arm to defend my { head. The main forre of the blow, which was delivered with all the strength that the doctor could muster, landed on my arm, nearly breaking the bone, and I was also struck across the side of the head, and as you can see my eye is greatly dis- colored. I consider that I saved my life by throwing up my arm. Had the blow landed fully on my head it would have killed me. I then closed with Bowles and struck bim several blows with my fist, and at this moment the attendant ran inand separated us, disarming my opponent. 1 really cannot conceive why this attack was made upon me in this entirely un- cailed-for manner as our vpersonal rela- tions have always been friendly, although at imes we have aiffered in policy. 1 can only account for the attack on the grounds that by constant contact with insane patients Dr. Bowles has become mentally incapacitated.” This morning Dr. Gardner left this city for Sacramento, where he will lay the matter before Governor Budd and demand an investigation. Dr. Bowles was seen to-night in refer- ence_to the encounter between himself | and Dr. Gardner. He said: I am sorry that the affair occurred, but can say posi- tively that nothing was done on my part that [ thought unbecoming a gentieman. I cannot say less and at present I will not say more."” BURNED TO DEATH AT LYNDEN. Fate of a Man Who Was About to Be Arrested for the Tacoma Ballot- Box Thefts in June. TACOMA, Wasm, Oct. 16. — Frank Boyce, who was severely burned in the house of J. F. Miller, near Lynden, What- com County, on Wednesday night, dicd to-day just in time to escape arrest on the charge of stealing the ballots from the city hall in Tacoma in June last. Detectives had evidence proving his guilt, and M. P. Bulger, ex-chairman of the State Populist Committee and a mem- ber of the City Council, was on the way to secure his arrest. The ballots were those cast in the city election. The theft was discovered during the progress of the contest case of Orr against Fawcett, who had been declared electrd. The crime created intense ex- citement at time and a large purse was offered for the arrest of the perpetrators. Orr was recently seated by the Supreme Court. Boyce, it is alleged, left Tacoma, fearing discovery, and went to the Miller place, Miller being a relative. During the absence of Miller and his wife at a Popu- list meeting at Lynden, their house caught fire, and Boyce was badly burned in a fruitless attempt to save Miiler's three children, who were burned to death. o PORTLAND STREET MELEE.

The usual question was asked: “Have you anything to say why the judgment of court should not be pro- nounced upon you?” “Nothin - more than I have said.” “Then I sha 1 sentence you to pay a fine of $60 and suspend sentence during good behavior,” and Don Abbot with 'a smile upon his determined face hurried out of doors, for his wife was ill and when he left the bread his crime had purchased was nearly gone. —_—— SHOT AT A RIVAL, Murder Attempted by a Wife Who Be- lieved Herself Wronged. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Oct. 16.—The wife of William G. Taylor, a newspaper man of this city, who, it is said, has been smarting under the attentions accorded her husband by Miss Beatrice di Luna for about two years, fired two shots from a re- volver at her rival in a Third-street res- taurant this afternoon. Miss di Luna was for a time a society reporter under Taylor. She and the editor were often seen in each other’s company and when they were sub- sequently discharged from one paper the scandal-mongers wagged their tongues with much glee. Mrs. Taylor this afternoon saw Miss di Luni with her husband. The irate wife had a pistol under her cloak. She followed the pair into Jerry lilich’s restaurant, en- t:flng the place immediately behind them. The editor saw trouble brewing and triea to dissuade his enragea wife from com- mitting any overt act, but all to no pur- ose. She pushed her way past her hus- and and bang! bangl went her pistol at the cowering form of her rival a few feet away. The wife’s marksmanship was poor and no damage resulted except that Miss di Luna was put into a fit of hysteria, She fell as if killed by the shot, but soon re- vived. After the shooting Mrs. Taylor accom- panied her husband to the police station, where she was locked in a cell in a state of great mental excitemenr. Miss di Luna is a member of an old, highly respected and formerly wealthy family of this city. —_—— Grover’ss Complaint Dismissed.

FRST CONCH LEAVES FRESNO Regular Passenger Service Begun on the Valley Railway. Residents of the San Joaquin Eager to Patronize the New Line. GROWING FREIGHT BUSINESS. Long Trains, Laden With Produce or Merchandise, Arrive and Depart. FRESNO, CaL., Oct. 16.—The San Fran- cisco and S8an Joaquin Valley Railway Company commenced regular passenger service to-day over its road between this city and Stockton. A coach is attached to the freight trains, which have been run- ning regularly for the past three weeks, for the accommodation of passengers. The first freight with the coach lett Fresno this morning at 6 o’clock. There were a number of passengers, but not as many as there would have been had the fact that the road was commencing gen- eral passenger service been more widely known. The train which arrived from Stockton this evening brought a coach full of passengers, Many Fresnoans, who were in Sen Francisco had heard of the coach being put on, and took advantage of the opportunity for a ride over the new road. Every one is eager for the first ride. The people of Fresno are desirous of patronizing the conypeting road and show- ing their appreciation of what Claus Spreciggls and the other San Francisco capitalis's have done for them. It 1s doubtful if one coach will be sufficient to accommodate the immediate travel. There is also an eagerness among business men to give their business to the com- pany. The long trains which leave and arrive are conclusiv - proof of this. ey FRESNO TO HOLD A FAIR. San Joaquin Valley Growers Will Place Citrus Fruits on Exhibition in Winter. . FRESNO, CaL., Oct. 16.—At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce this evening it was decided to proceed immediately to prepare for a district citrus fair, open to exhibitors from all parts of tne San Joaquin Valley, to be held in this city some time during the winter. President Arthur R. Briggs was empowered to ap- point a committee of six to actin conjunc- tion with a similar committee from the Hundred Thousand Club in' arranging a programme for the fair and take such in- itial steps as are necessary. The members of the chamber were unanimously and en- thusiastically for the fair. Several speeches were made, and every one asserted him- self as thoronehly in favor of a midwinter exhibition of citrus-fruits, raisins, dried fruits and other products. The fair will general as to exhibits, but a aisplay of the citrus fruits of the valley will be made a special feature. The business men of the city are thoroughly 1n accord with the movement started by the Chamber of Commerce. It was ;roved at the fair held last winter that resno County could make a very credit- able display of citrus fruits. This year it is the intention to bring in the other counties of the valley,.and with their aid an elaborate display should be made. Every packerin thecity will display raisins and dried fruits. The fair will probably be kept open for a week, aund it is expected that many visitors will attend from all parts of the State. - e Fresno Raisins in Demand. FRESNO, CaL, Oct. 16.—There has been considerable excitement jn the local raisin market for the past few days. Prices have been steadily advancing and 3 or 4 cents a pound are being offered for raising in sweat "boxes. Packers are anxious to buy. They are seliing f. o. b, NEW 'TO-DAY. COMMON PLAIN FOOD It Is Best for Children or Adults. Natural grains, meat and fruit will make good blood if the d gestive machinery of the body is not interfered with. The blood when first made goes into the arteries and is of a bright red color. After it has been used some in supplying the body it is carried into the veins and is there a dark red or purple color. Blood contains the elements to ncurish and build up the body, such as iron, soda, lime, al- btmen, ete., ete. When the powers of the stomach and the bowels are reduced by lack of vitality or by putting coffee and tea into the stomach the proces es which nature goes through with to change the food into rich, red blood are seriously intertered with. 1f a man could see what a ‘‘wet blanket” he putover his hard-working friend, the stomach, by putting in coffee, whisky or tobacco, when it was honestly toiling away to doits work well, he would never repeat the outrage and injustice. It is like striking your friend a vicious blow when he is delving away for you with mightand main. Don’tdo it. One feels more re- spect for himself when he acts the man and permits no form of abuse to strangle and spoil the beautiful work being done for bim in the human body. No sort of fun on earth is equal to the fun of being thoroughly well, If one weants a pungent piquant, hot drink for breakfast, lunch or dinner, it can be bad in Postum, the health coffee. It is made wholly of grains by the Postum Cereal Company (Limited) of Battle Creek, Mich. 1t can be truly said, “It makes red blood.” It brews the deep seal- brown color of Mocha; it creams to the rich -golden brown of Java, and has an aroma and ‘taste that make a man thank- ful that some one has at last made a com- bination of the irninu that gives such a delicious hot drink that one can readily leave off the coffee which' has been hurting more than one likes to think of. Medicines are poor crutches. The 6nly safety is ‘to use food and drink that the Creator intended for man, and when this is done the diseases and sick spells gradu- ally disappear. - ) * Common-sense is quite uncommon ex- cept with those who .give themselvesa shaking now and then, and look plainly at what they are doing. If a person knows coffee don’t hurt him, let him stick o it until it does, then such people thor- oughly appreciate Postum. Grocers and druggists testify to large sales, and the steady use of those who once try it is evi- dence of its 1aking ways. et 4 “Just as good” as Postum Cereal are words nsed to defraud the public. Sold by McLaren & Co., Ban Francisco, general agents, . and are unable to get raisins enough to fill orders. The crop is short, but of good qnality. FRESNO DAMAGE SUIT DECIDED.
