J. Neininer, manager of Oscar Gardiner, is thick-coated with a grievance. He does not like the way Frank Frne has been making speeches about his principal and to stop it once and for all he has issued in Gardiner's name a fierce challenge on a money basis. This is what Nelniner has to say: “Erne is’ trying his best to belittle Gardiner and solely for the reason that he did not get the first match with McGovern. Now if Erne sthinks Gardiner so easy here is ready’ money for his picking. Gardiner will fight Erne, the latter to weigh in at 128 pounds and Gardiner to fight at 118, I will put $1000 as a side purse and the win. ner take all.

WOULD EXCLUDE * COMMON PEOPLE Grove Johnson's Plan for the McKinley Reception in Sacramento. A A Favors the Issuing of Invitations to a Select Few to Meet the Nation’s Chief. —_—— Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, April 2—Grove L. Johnson, a member of the legislative com- mittee on the Sacramento reception to President McKinley, has asked for the co- operation of the Municipal Board of Trus- tees in a plan which provides for the hold- ing of an exclusive reception in the As- sembly Chamber. According to the sug- gestion of Assemblyman Johnson, the State Capitol is to be locked throughout and admissidn is to be had through only one entrance upon the presentation of in- vitatiops issued by the committee. The suggestion to invest .the reception to the President with the appearance of exclusiveness has-given rise to a tremen- dous protest on the part of the public, and it is even threatened that the Ohio So- ciety formed for the express purpose of aiding In the entertainment of the Presi- dent at the Capitol will take action with respect to it. Sacramentans recall the visits of Presidents Grant, Hayes and Harrison, when they were freely permit- ted to extend the “glad hand” direct, and they rebel at the suggestion that the may be denied the same privilege wit respect to President McKinley unless able to secure favorable recognition at the hands of the legislative committee. The board of trustees, it is believed, will de- cline to sanction the arrangement and all hands will be given an equal show at the President if local sentiment is to prevail. A banquet and parade of schoel chil- dren are among the features suggested for the reception. P R PLANNING TO RECEIVE PRESIDENT McKINLEY City Divided Into Districts and Col- lectors to Start: Soon. Messages by wire from Washington in< dicate that President McKinley has sug- gested several changes in the railway schedule of his proposad outing and that his suggestions have been referred to-the railway managers. The proposed changes will not affect the programme relating to reception events in San Francisco beyoad cutting out the scheduled trip around the bay on Monday, Mav 20. A meeting of the finance committee of the Citizens’ Committee for the purpose of raising funds to provide for the recep- tion of the President was held yesterday afternoon at the rooms of the Board of Trade! The committee discussed the best methods for securing funds and decided to issue a general letter, setting forth the objects for which money is to be raised, and to divide the city into districts and appoint sub-committees for each dstrict. An executive committee was appointed for the purpose of districting the city and ap- pointing the sub-committees. The com- mittee will meet at an early date and the work of canvassing for funds be actively pusned. : ENCOUNTER HARDSHIPS IN ALASKAN WASTES Members of the Norman Mining Ex- pedition Claim They Have Found an El Dorado. SEATTLE, April 2—A story of adven- ture, tragedy and hardship, having as a scene of action the Bering Sea and the Kuskokwim country in Alaska, is told by Captain B. Erickson and J. B. Rawlings, recorder of the Norman mining district. They declare that the Kuskokwim coun- try is the coming gold producing section of Alaska. The Norman mining expedition was or- ganized by thesei two men and fourteen others. They purchased the twelve-ton schooner Bear and left Nome on July 17 for the Kuskokwim River. At Nunivak they found the barkentine Leslie D wrecked on a 10ck. None of the miners would take possession of the wreck, and Captain Erickson was compelled to sail away, although he knew that the provi- sions ‘on board the barkentine would soon be badly needed by the party. They reached the Kuskokwim at the end of July, where half the party was left, the others going with the Bear back to the wreck for supplies. Another party was found in possession of the Leslie D, and for a time it seemed as if there would be a conflict between the rival captains. A search for food was then made at Togiak River, and to the joy of all it was suc- cessful. In the meantime those of the expedition who had remained at Kuskokwim found coarse gold in paying quantities forty miles upthe river. ‘When the schooner re- turned after a long absence with a small supply of provisions the miners, who had been suffering from lack of food, orga- nized the Norman district and elected Rawlings recorder. ] Alexander Bash of Salem, Or., was drowned on the return trip. { MAMMOTH’S SKELETON AND PETRIFIED CLAMS Tgvo Finds of Scientific Interest on the Islands Off British Columbia. VANCOUVER, B. C., April 2—Two Im- portant finds of great scientific interest have been made here recently. Stewart Henderson, a barrister of Ashcroft, a few days ago found scattered in the face of a landslide the bones of a mammoth of pre- historic days. He later found where the scattered bones had come from,.and dug out a large part of the complete skeleton, fossllized, of a mammal which measured neatly seven feet high at the shoulders. The bones are being shipped to the mu- seum at Vancouver. find has also been Another interestin, made by the crew of the halibut steamer New Englsnd On the last trip, while in Virago Sound, Queen Charlotte Island, several large beds of petrified clams were found. The clams are most peculiar, and there are now no live shellfish in the vi- cinity. The petrifaction seems to have oc- curred suddenly, for the clams are in va- rious and lifelike positions. Many have their necks out of the shells. FIGPRUNE . Cer_g_ al . The most wholesome and nutritious substitute for cof- fee and tea, Made from the choicest California figs, prunes and selected grains.

Headquarters have. been opened at 14 Post street, with H. D. Laidlaw in charge. The premium list is being arranged and in a few days will be ready for announce- ment. One of the most notable entries thus far made is that of Mrs. J. P. Norman's Lady Montez, a Boston terrier, with a litter of puppies. This will be the first time in the history of the local bench that a Boston terrier has been exhibited. Lady Montez springs from a very high place in canine royalty and is described as a smooth, soft-coated, compactly built dog. Philip C. Meyer's collection of St. Ber- nards, which is reported to be the most complete on the coast and comprises none but first quality dogs, will be in at- tendance. J. G.

GRASS VALLEY, April 2.—Theodors Schwartz, a pioneer rancher of Pleasant Valley, Nevada County, has a double who not only goes about the State in the pre- tended garb of Mr. Schwartz, but carries the logic of the situation so as to con- tract bills in Mr. Schwartz's name and make the arrangements for their payment at the Pleasant Valley abode of the real Mr. Schwartz. This double hlas thus im- onated the Pleasant Valley farmer Do vears. Bill after bill has coms to the Schwartz home and his neighbors say that they have come to be such a featura of his daily life that the Schwartz house- hold would be lost without them. Rev. Wesley Peck of Los Gatos former- Iy lived in Grass Valley. Recently he re- ceived a visit from a man he believed to be farmer Schwartz. The caller told his host that he was a little short of cash, and he was promptly accommodated with $12 to_pay his raiiroad fare to Grass Val- ley. e also represented to the minister that he had been robbed of his clozmni and spectacles in Watsonville. He needec a pair of eyeglasses so that he could ses to sign a.receipt for the money. Mr. Peck took compassion upon him and lent the visitor his own eyeglasses. J Some days having elapsed without the mails bringing him a $12 check or the re- turn of his glasses, the good pastor wrots to Mr. Schwartz calling his attention to the oversight. The Pleasant Valley farm~ er has added this little reminder to other gouvenirs contributed by Mr. Schwartz Mir. Schwartz has never seen his doubls nor been able to catch him, but evidently the fellow intends to make the most of his resemblance to the Nevada County farmer. —— GAS-GENERATING PLANT SOON TO BE UNDER WAY John Martin Making Further Invest- ments in Grass Valley and Nevada City. GRASS VALLEY, April 2—John Mar< tin, president of the Bay Counties Power Company, has completed all arrangements to erect a gas generating plant in either Grass Valley or Nevada City, at a cost of $40,000. Within twenty d he will have construction under way and within a year will be able to supply gas for both fuel and lighting. Mr. Martin to-day took possession £ the électric lighting systems of _Grass Valley and Nevada City, which he has purchased iMflividually from the Bay Counties Power Company. He will con- tinue to use the power of the company, but will conduct the service as an inde- pendent concern. Mr. Martin was yesterday granted a temporary franchise for his electric car line between the two towns by the County Board of Supervisor: John F. Kidder has held a franchise for the same pur- pose for the past five years, but Mrs. Kid- der has just sent word to Mr. Martin that he could have the franchise if he wanted it, and added that the proposed line, in- stead of being a detriment to the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Rallroad, would be a help to it in its freight business. The board accordingly revoked the Kidder franchise and will advertise for bids in accordance with the State law, at which time Martin’s company will get its fran- chise. A twenty minute service on weekdays will be given between the two places. On Sundays cars will run every fifteen min- utes. The fare will be 10 cents, with a charge of but 5 cents for short rides upon the streets of either town. Mr. Martin_has purchased the lighting systems of Marysville, Chico and Wood- land; he is negotiating for those of Peta- luma, Santa Rosa and San Rafael, Sohieagioniy SLAYS AN INDIAN TO SAVE HIS OWN LIFB James 8.
