The central structure of the display has been elaborated so | as to represent the State House in the city of Sacramento. It will be 46 feet high and a flag staff at the top will bear the name “Sacramento Valley.” The new contract has been let and the building has been commenced. It will be put up “all at once,” something af- ter the fashion of a modern sky scrap- r, nearly all of it being constructed in sections outside the fair grounds. CALIFORNIANS ARE ILL. Dr. Green, who has been here with Judge Wills representing the develop- ment association, is just getting around Nearly every member of the California colony has been sick at scme (ime since ar- rival here, owing to the change of cli- mate. Most of the county commis- sioners live at the Blue Grass Hotel at 4040 Olive street, not a great dis- tance from the fair grounds. They are on a street car line that wiil afford no accommodations later on for anything larger than a fly after the cars leave the downtown section. 2 Full grown trees are springing up in a day about the California building and the walks are being graveled and the grounds sodded. A realistic represent- ation of a mission structure in its grove of olives and oranges will soon be nresented.

Sheriff .Quinn and police officers and | sheriffs are engaged in a close search of the surrounding country. Early this morring a stranger was seen in a be- draggled condition about five miles north of this city, but he disappeared | before the officers could be notified.

SANTA CRUZ, May 4.—The will of Murdock Young, who died here in | April. 1903, leaving an estate valued at 1$13,000, to be distributed among his | friends, has been sustained. In | will he declared tha' he had never been married, but it was subsequently | learned that fifty vears ago he left a in Vermont. | The court held that Young's failure to mention his children was intentional | and not an oversight. i N R R NTIAGO DE CUBA, May 4. — Four convicted of murder, were garroted It _was the first legal execution since to-day.

During the snowstorm here the Lu- z.1 natives longed for some of the clothes they had s~ recklessly thrown away on the trip over the prairies. They huddled about fires and kept their spirits -v by thinking of the good old | steamy summer time in St. Louis—so | much’ like the summers of Luzon, they George Roeding of Fresno, who is ! chief of the California Department of Horticulture at the World’s Fair, has reached here and is now in charge of | the California section at the Horticul- { There is not much of an influx of | Californians to date. The hotel regis- ters show but few arrivals from the | Golden State. The Californians now here are largely those who haye expo- | sition business. California’s unusual and extensive method of representation by counties is creating some friction at the pass de- partment of the exposition, the busiest of the fair just at present. Many per- sons connected with county commis- | sions, but who are not actually In charge of any exhibit here, are expect- ing passes and have had applications made for them. It is felt by the ap- plicants that hecause of California’s expensive display those who helped provide it should be treated liberally in the matter of passes. ATTACHES OVERWORKED. { Two of the hardest worked people in the California end of the fair are Sec- retary E. B: Willis and his assistant, Miss Pringle. .hey have scarcely had time to leave their desks since their arrival and though the worst of the work is over it looks as if they will have to earn a good deal more than their salaries during the remainder of the expcsition. Jsaac Grant of the Grant Drug Com- pany, San Francisco, is among the prominent Californians here. He is making a display of Oriental matting for a company of which he is one of the organizers. Mrs. Abbie E.

Leeses oscsscesoens In speaking of Peruna, Robert Down- ing, the famous tragedian, says: “I find Peruna a preventive against { all sudden summer ills that swoop upon one in changing climates and water. It is the finest travellng companion and safeguard against malarial influences. “You may notice that persons in poor health always find the heat most intoler- able; this I avoid by using Peruna. I know by the thermometer that the weather is hot, yet I have felt the heat less this summer than ever. “The cooling action of Peruna on the mucous membrane makes it invaluable to actors and singers, as it does away NS 2 ROBERT DOWNING, THE FAMOUS TRAGEDIAN. - PP RR P S I I PP P IIPI PP I PP IO SIP PP SOOI P IO Ittt S0 E0Eeteetetess = . | | | with that tendency to sudden hoarseness S0 apt to overtake one on emerging from a hot dressing-room to a draughty stage. “To sum it up, Peruna has done me more good than any tonic I have ever taken."—Robert Downing.
