POPULAR TRIBUTE 10 W. M. CUTTER Sutter and Yuba County Citizens Honor Their Assembiyman. His Course in the Legislature Heartily Indorsed at a Mass-Mesting. The L. wmezker Presented With a Can- celed Mortgage Against His Home. MARYSVILLE, CAL, March 27.—The weather to-night was exceedingly stormy and yery uninviting, but the Marysvile Theater was well filled with friends and adherents of Hon. W. M. Cutter, the rep- resentative in the Assembly from Yuba and Sutter counties, who had gathered to do him honor and extend a substantial testimonial of the high esteem in which he is held by his constituents. Thiscame in the form of the mortgage on his home. The instrument had been taken up and paid by citizens, and to-night Mr. Cutter was apprised that his property was free from incumbrance and given the canceled mortgage. The stage had been handsomely dec- orated with poppies and after the band bad played several selections the audience was seated, Mayor Ellis and a number of others occupying seats on the stage. The Mavor read a list of the vice-presidents and then introduced Judge E. A. Davies as the presentation speaker. The tribute of Judge Davies to the worth of Mr. Cutter as & citizen and asa legislator was eloguent and sincere. In concluding he tenderel Mr. Cutter the canceled note and mortgage that had stood against his_residence, amounting to $912 50. When Judge Davies closed there was much applause. It was very evident that Mr. Cutter was surprised at the form the testimonial had taken, and the first few words of his re- ply were hardly audible. Mr. Cutter re- sponded substantialiy as follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen— Friends Ali: For once in my tife I am em- barrassed for words to express my feelings, overpowered asIam by this more than cor- dial reception. As your representative in the Assembly, I have enaeavored to do my full duty, and the fact that my efforts have met with'your indorsement is reward sufficient. That you should have tnought it fitting to supplement that indorsement by such & valu- able testimonial of your appreciation and re- gard was entirely unexpected by me, and something that I mignt have preferred omitted; but, coming as it does with such spoataneous good wili, I accept in the spirit in which I kaow it is' given, and thank you from my heart. The lot of & iegislator is uot altogether an enviable one. If he hns the courage of his convict ons and cares to do_what he believes 10 be right, he 15 certain of newspaper abuse and misrepresentation because of political reasons, personal spite or 10 Drint a sensa- tional paragraph; but 5o far &s I am con- cerned, 5o long as'1 can bend the knee before my Maker with clearest consclence, I care naught for what any one may write or say or think of me. It is well to have the good opinion of your fellow-men, but it is better to deserve it. It hes become the custom to speak of each Legislature as worse than all preceding. Even the Legislature of which the editor of the aminer and the editor of the Democrat re members was 5o characterized, singular as it may scem. All of them are wasteful, ull are extravagant, all passinfamous Dills, if the press is 10 be believed; and yet. when the statutes of each session are printed, the charge is rarely found to be sustained. The Chronicle calls the dredger bill and the mining bill intamous bills, but that view is not shared by the peopls of the Sacramento Valley or the people of the mining counties. In their estimation these bills are absolutely escential 10 our preservation of future pros- perity. Itis beiieved that they will inaugu- raie a new era, and that in coming years this city of my home and love, which has 50 great- Iy “houored me on this and other occasions, will rise to that position and dignity to which her locatiou entitles her, and the citizens of this and our almost twin county of Sutter, the garden spot of the State, secure {rom the dan- gers that now threaten them, will enjoy that prosperity which by natural rightshould be theirs. 1f in my humble way I have been able to do anything toward bringing this about, I am more, far more than repaid for the mental surain and physical effort. To know in addi- tion that what I have done meets your hearty approbation is ali that was needed to give me content. Again I thank you. Mr. Cutter's remarks were loudly ap- plauded. They were followed by music and several addresses by prominent local people of all political beliefs, The sin- cerity of the greeting extended to Mr. Cutter 1s & matter in which he and his friends will take pride as long as their memory serves them. CHMPON'S TROUBLES A Warrant Was Issued by Judge Kerrigan for the Arrest of “Fitz.” “Bay, don’t give me any such josh as that. Don’t you think that I have had enough of this sort of thing already? 1’ll make some fellow sick yet.” These were the words used by Cham- pion Fitzsimmons last evening when he was asked by a CALL representative if he had a visit from a Deputy Sheriff. It appears that when Fitzsimmons and ‘his manager, Martin Julian, were “rusti- cating” in Carson, the latter, according to the representatives of the People’s Pal- ace, telegraphed his agent in this City, who1s a man named Haller, to engage the People’s Palace for the evening of Sat- urday, the 20th inst., as the champion would s ow there, in conjunction with a vaudeville entertainment, which was to precede the fistic exhibition. Jul an, iy is said, could not keep his ap- pointment and he telegraphed bis agent from Carson on the day before the even- ing arranged for the exhibition to cancel the engagement, as it would be impossible for him to be in this City to attend to the show. William Lang Jr., who is doing busi- ness for Arthur Meadows, a collector, swors out a warrant yesterday afternoon in Justice Kerrigan's court for the arrest of Fitzsimmons and Julian on the grouna that they were about to leave this Siate and thereby defraud their credicors. The warrant was issued accordingly by Justice Kerrizan and given to Deputy Sheriff Dick O'Connor to serve on the de- fendants. Thegeputy and William Lang Jr. repaired tothe ferry and watched th outgoing boats which connected with the overland trains at the Oakland depot. But neither “Fitz” nor Julian put in an appearance. The deputy and the collec- tor then journeyed to the Baldwin Hotel, where the champion pugilist and his man ager are domiciled, and at 9 o'clock last evening the officer met Julian and Fitz- simmons, both of whom were notified that he (the officer) was 1n possession of & war- rant for their arrest. = Meadows stated that Fitzsimmons and Julian are indebted to the People’s Palace Company in the sum of $240—viz. : $200 for the lease of the place of amusement and $40 for theatrical talent. —————— ADVANCES made on furniture and planos, with | ox without removal. J. Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission The Scow Schooners in tie Pay Had a Hard T:m: of It Yesterday Afternoon. Ebb Tide They Could Make No Headway and Many of the Captains Anchored in Despair. What With a Mild Southeaster and a Strong IN THE STRESS CF A SOUTHEASTER Scow Schooners Battle With the Wind and Ebb Tide. Many of the Captains Brought Their Vessels to Anchor in Despair. The Oregon and Potrel Would ang Venture Out, but Anchored off Szusalito. ‘The scow schooners had a lively time of it in the bay yesterday afternoon. Nearly all of them were making their way down | the river and the southeaster and the | strong ebb tide, when it caught them off Alcatraz, carried thevessels away out of their course. There were scows laden with coal for steamers in the stream, scows laden with ballast for British ships en route to coast ports to load for Eng- land and scows laden with hay for the hay wharf. Some of them came to anchor and others backed and filled in a vain attempt to weather Lombard-street wharf. It was not until the tide turned that any of them was able to make headway against the southeast breeze. The Amarapoora was one of the tramp steamers that cansed considerable trouble 1o the sco hooners. Twoof them went out to her with coal, but after they ot alongside they were told the black dia- monds wers no. wanted, as the steamer was going on the drydock. In tha case the coal-laden boats had to beat back to the wharf and tie up until the steamer is ready to take the coal. The Amarapoora is to'go from here to Astoria toload wheat and thence to Puget Sound to take on a deckload of lumber, after which she will sail for Australia. While in Central American waters she got very foul and her bottom is covered with barnacles. Inorder to gat her in con- dition for a long sea voyage sheis to be put on the Hunters Point drydock and thoroughly overhauled. Inthe meantime somebody will have to pay for the scows that went out to her coal-laden aad had to return to the wharf without discharg- ing. The officers of the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company and the merchants of San Francisco are again at outs. The latter bhave hitherto been given from three days toa week to get their goods off the Ma dock, but now the only grace given them is twenty-four hours, and if the goods are not moved by that tirie they are placed in a United States warehouse at the own- ers’ expense. There has been considera- ble friction over the matter of late, but as the Mail Company’s wharf is bonded the merchants havs no recourse, and just simply pay up the assessments and say nothing. The steam schooner Greenwood is hay- ing her boilers taken out at Folsom-street wharf. New oneswill be put in, and at the same time she will receive a thorough overhauling. “Where is the smart little schooner Moonlight 7" is the question asked daily by men along the water front. She leit here forty-two days ago for Seattle to fit out for a fishing cruise. She hasnot been heard from since and the worst is feared. She was well provisioned on leaving San Francisco, and may have gone direct to the fishing grounds instead of making a miP in Puget Sound. 'he schooner Arago will probably get away to-day for the cod banks if the storm is oyer. She will be the first of the Lynde & Hough fleet to get away, and as sh= will have an experienced crew aboard the tch should be a zood one. Captain J. A. Dollard of the wrecker Whitelaw met witnh a serious accident yesterday. After picking up one of the trucks that went overboard when the steamer Sunol capsized the vessel was beaded for section 2 of the seawall and the men procecded ashore to enjoy & well- earned rest. There was a hole in the wharf, and Captain Dolbeer put his foot in it, the result being that his left leg was broken in two places. He was removed to his home at 218 Chattanooga streel, whore the broken limb was set, and he is now resting comfortably, There is some talk about an action for damages, but as ction 2 of the seawall is an inclose whar! and Btate property it is asserted that no action can lie against the Harbor Commi ssioners. The boatmen at Meiggs wharf and Val- lejo and Folsom streets assert that the great race will take place to-day, rain or shine. There are over & dozen entries, 8o the winner may be sure of at least a $50 prize. The contest between W. M. Fitz- gerald and Dave Crowley Sr. will also take place, 50 the usual Sunday crowd should witness some good racing this afternoon from Pow treet wharf. There is trouble brewing between tne wharfingers, collectors and Iaborers on the water front and the treasurer of the Har- bor Commissioners. The former are nearly always broke before the ‘month is haif spent, and in consequence have to resort to the warrant system. Max Goldberg nas had control of the entire patronage of the water front, and his rate has been and is 5 per cent a month. H. D. Rowe, how- ever, stepped in and offered (o do the dis- counting for 2 per cent a month, and got considerable patronage. One of the labor- ers, however, discounted his warrant with both men, and when it came to pay day, althioueh both brokers had their warrants in, Goldberg was given the preference and got the cash, while Rowe is out and in- jured, In consequence he has withdrawn from the business, and the wharfingers, collec- tors and laborers are indignant, one and all asserting that ‘‘there is something rotten in the State of Denmark.” The battle-ship Oregon and the gunboat Petrel were to have gone to sea yesierday. They both ot under way, but_came to an anchor in Richardsons Bay. The bar was breaking and a heavy storm reported off for the Puget Sound drydock at Port Orchard, where she will be thoroughly overhzuled before startingon a southern cruise. MRS, SCHEPPLER FOUND. She Will Return to the Home of Her Parents. Mrs. Bessie Scheppler, who mysteriously disappeared three days after becoming a bride, has been lccafed by her husband and her parents, and will return to the home of the Iatter in the Mission. She declares that she left her husband’s home and protection because her marriage was distasteful to her, and that she had been persuaded into 1t by the pressure brought to bear on her by her mother. When she had been duly installed in her new home, she says, the idea of Killing is then best told in her own: words: “While I was looking out of my window an expressman happened along, and on the impulse of the moment I hailed him. My trunk was ready, as 1 had not un- packed it. I gave bim the address of the friend with whom I have been staying, threw on my coat and kat, jumped on a car and was there as soon as the trunk. She signified her intention of returning to her parents’ home without delay. To this, her husband states, he will make no objection, and her parents will welcome ber back with open arms. Mrs. Scheppler declares she will never ltve with her husband. The latter says he will not seek a reconciliation, but if his bride is willing to return he will gladly receive her.

Wiy 7 7 0 Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt The grandest invontion of the age for weak men; the surest and easiest cure for all nervous and chronic disaases. Its wonderful power is directed to the seat of the nervous system, through which its vitalizing strength penetrates into all parts of the body, carryingnew life to every function which has been weakened by excesses or dissipation, restoring energy tothe brain and power to the muscles. Dr. Sanden is a physician of the highest standing among the medical profession, having devoted thirty years of his life to the practice of medicine, and has given it up now for several years so that he may devote his knowledge exclusively to this better, more effective means of rescuing the sick and weary from despair. He has given to the world this remarkable creation of his brain—the Dr. Sanden Electric Belt—and personally supervises its use in all cases, so that in not one single instance may it fail to do all that he claims for it. He is an expert in medicine and an expert in electricity, and every one of his patients receives his personal attention until the final happy result is reached—a permanent restoration to health and strength. THIS GREAT BOON IS YOURS. In using Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt the patient is assured of two very necessary points—that he has the very best, most scientific, strongest and most durable Electric Belt that can be made, and with it the personal attention of a regular physician until cured. It is impossible to imagine a more effective means of fighting disease. ~ All medical men sanction the use of electricity, and Dr. Sanden, by his personal attention to his patients, makes his Belt do the work which has baffled the skill of medical experts of all countries. : SEE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT IT. The following are extracts from letters recently received : “1 feel altogether a different man. I have worn your Belt thirty days, and'if 1 improve as much the next month I shall be a well man. My emissions are stopped, and I feel so bright and fresh that | am more than pleased with the Belt.” J. D. GIPSON, Shasta, Cal. * When I first put your Belt on, four months ago, I could not walk, I was so badly paralyzed. Now I can walk a mile without even a crutch or a cane.

It is a pleasure to Dr. Sanden to talk with a non-believer in the power of his Belt, for in this way many are convinced by scientific proofs who would go on from year to year suffering from a curable disease. He will examine every patient free of charge, and state honestly whether a cure is possible. He can gain nothing by misleading a sufferer, as his best advertisement is the good he has done ; and he will take no case where his belt is powerless to cure. He therefore invites a call or a letter from all who are sick or weak, sothat by personal study of the case he may lead his patient to renewed health and happiness. If you cannot call personally send for his famous book “Three Classps of Men,”” which is full of clean, wholesome facts, and has the letters of hundreds of p,ruminent men in all sections of the State who have been cured by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt.
