When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery, the BLUES, it is a sad pic.tm‘e. Itis usually this way: She has been feeling “out of sorts” for some time; head has ached, and back also; has slept poorly, been quite nervous,and nearly fainted once or twice; head dizzy, and heart beats very fast; then that bearing-down feeling. Her doetor says: “Cheer up; you have dyspepsia; you will be all right soon.” But she does not get “all right.” lished. Her doctor has made a mistake. & She has lost faith in him; hope vanishes; then comes the brooding, morbid, melancholly, cverlasting BLUES. Lydia E.

SHINGTON, Feb. 11.—Represen- Needham appeared before the House Committee on Military Affairs this morning and made a telling ad- dress, not in behalf of any one of the sites for a mp and maneuver grounds ciziming preference in California, but tative for the State as a location against any other State on the coast. His speech ss and common sense ar- gument against theory and sentiment. He set forth that the California Na- tional Guard numbered 3300 and the r 12 now stationed in the State , or near]y 11,000"men to be moved long distances by rail or® steamer should the camp be located in some other State. Washington, which is the only competitor on the coast for the camp ground, has but $00 militiamen and only 2200 regulars are stationed there. The number of both militia and regulars in Oregon, Idaho and Arizona which would be mobilized at the camp is very #mall. The cost of transporta- tion and the time spent en route by a larger body of men seemed to Needham a factor of such importance as to al- most necessarily determine the location in Californi As between the several sites under nsideration, he declared he had no word to say, but thought that this, and, indeed, the whole mat- ter, could be safely left to the War Be- partment.

John L. Hopkins answered his wife’s suit for divorce yesterday by filing a general denial of her charges of cruelty. He says he never attacked her with a razor or threatened to kill her or broke any of her possessions. The trouble, he says, was caused by his wife’s mother and sister, with whom they went to live shortly after their marriag: Leonard Clive, a pattern-make! is the defendant in ja suit for d brouyght by 8. L Clive, in his an- swer to the suit denies that he ever deser'ted her. He says he was forced to leave her because she threatened to kill him by turning on the gas and shooting him. Clive says he was in such fear of his wife's taking a shot at him that he took the firing pin out of a small gun he had at his home. Divorce decrees were granted to J. L. Hildebrand from Agnes Hildebrand for cruelty, Minnie Parks from John Parks for desertion, Nora E. White from George W. White for cruelty and Annie Jackson from John Jackson for neglect and desertion.

OPEN VERDICT I MOAK CASE i Inquest Fails to Throw Any Light on Mysterious Murder of Young Woman N_mr Chico SRl BT 4 CHICO, Feb. 11.—=The Coroner | an inquest to-day in the case of Eva | Moak. the young woman who was shat i on her mother’s ranch near here Tues- { day and ‘who died on Wednesday. A verdict of murder by some unknown party was returned by the jury. James Moak, brother of the deceased, testified that on Wednesday night he recelved a communication that caused | | him to suspect a certain person. name of the suspect was not divulged, but was given to the District Attorney. The theory that the young woman knew her assailant and shielded him is not credited in the face of the testi- mony of the family. Each member of the family declares that the dead girl did not know her assailant and repeat- | edly so stated. Mrs. Moak testifled concerning her daughter’s flight from |the barn to the residence, bleeding from three wounds. She also told of | the measures taken for the girl's relief. None of the family noticed any one about the barn or ranch. The peddler who claims to have seen the body of a man in Butte Creek to- day said the body was covered with slime and appeared as if it had been in the water for several weeks. The body was not found, though the creek was gearched for a mile. The officers are working on a theory, but decline to talk for publication. e e SN COMMERCIAL BANKS ARE UNUSUALLY PROSPEROUS 4 State Commission Issues Interesting Report on Condition of Leading Financial Institutions.

Harry Sharp, a drug clerk, died suddenly at 4 o'clock yesterday morn- ing in his rooms, 104 Turk street. He had been subject to epileptic fits and was taken with one shortly before he died. As was usual in such emergen- cies, his wife gave him a hypodermic injection of morphine and left him lying on the lounge while she returned to bed. 3 Deputy Coroner Brown found in the dead man’s vest pocket a half- ounce vial with a few drops of lauda- num remaining.
