On several occasions during the pasttwo years deadly assaults, and in two orthree canes murdors, have been commit-ted in the mountainous regions of Yubacounty, Ual., some tilty or sixty milesfrom Marysville. It is pretty well determined now that Indians and squaw- -

men were the principal actors in thisoutlawry, and the Sheriff has made twoarrests, and offers a reward for a notorious Indian desperado.

Mrs. Jane Stanford, widow of the lateSenator 1 .eland Stanford and executrixof his vast estate, lias confirmed thetelegraphic report that Leland Stanford(Jr.) University is to receive an endow-ment of at least $300,000 from one of thebrothers of the late Senator. In thehitter's will $300,000 is bequeathed hisbrother, Thomas Weldon Stanford ofMelbourne, Australia. This bequestlias been turned over to the university.

C. F. Crocker, of theSouthern Paeilic, denies the publishedstatement that the directors of the com-

pany have determined to put armed menon their freight trains. He says thecompany has not determined what courseto pursue in combatting the tramp nui-

sance. It is believed, however, that thePinkerto" igency has perfected arrange-ments to t on the Southern PaciH ims not only in California,but in Ariz inc, New Mexico, Texas andclear through to New Orleans. Armedmen were recently put on trains pullingout of Portland, Or., but after a few dayswere taken off. About that time WilliamPinkerton was in San Francisco.

John McNulty, a 'longshoreman whofive years ago murdered Patrick Collins,another 'longshoreman, at San Francisco,was to have been hanged December 21).

It now appears that after the date ofexecution has been set five differenttimes McNulty's neck will yet be savedthrough the efforts of the Daughters ofthe Ciood Shepherd of that city. Gov-

ernor Mark ham was notified that theSherilf had granted McNulty a reprieveuntil January zu, and tne probability hthat his death sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment. The Governor announces that he has received apetition signed by 8,000 people askingthat this be done. Among the signersare United States Senators White andPerkins, Archbishop Kiordan, Irwin C.Stump and eight of the jurors who con-victed the prisoner.

A peculiar lawsuit has just beenbrought by the New Zealand Fire Insur-ance Company against the Standard OilCompany. Two years ago the oil com-

pany sold a certain quantity of coal oilto retail dealers in senna, r resno county,Cal., representing it to bemid pei fectly safe with a fire test of 150degrees Fahrenheit. The retail dealersin turn sold the oil to their customers.Mrs. May Belle Brown, a housewife ofSelma, was among the purchasers. Vt henMrs. Brown used some of the oil in till-

ing a lamp the kerosene exploded andburned the house. She was insured for$1,000 in the New Zealand Company.Mrs. Brown has joined the insurancecompany in the suit against the Stand-ard Oil Company for the amount of herloss. The complaint alleges the oil wasfound to explode at 85 degrees Fahren-heit. It iB reported other suits similarin nature will soon be filed.

James A. Talbott, administrator ofthe A. J. Davis estate at Butte, Mont.,over which a great will contest is pend-ing, has commenced suit against A. J.Davis, Jr., and the First National Bank,of which Davis is cashier, who has notturned over to the administrator 950

shares of bank stock, worth $1,000 ashare. Young Davis has all alongclaimed that his uncle gave him thisstork a short time before his death, andrefused to report it in the assets of theestate. The court authorized Talbottto bring suit and employ special counsel.Several leading attorney, have been en-gaged by him, men who have been coun-sel for contestants in the will case.There is no legal record of the deadmi lionaire ever having given his nephewthe stock. It is said that Talbott and1 avis hare had a fall ing oat over mattersconnected with the estate, hence the(ait. It has caused much surprise. Thereport that the heirs have compromisedthe suit is denied.

FBOM WASHINGTON CITY.

The Navy Department has ordered thecruiser JNew York and tbe monitor

to get ready for sea.Senator Pefler introduced a bill pro-

viding funds for immediate use in reliev-ing want and distress in the country.

Representative Hermann has intro-duced a bill to pension Ralph Summers,who served in the Oregon Indian warsIn 1857.

Representative Wilson has introduceda bill to validate all outstanding soldiers'additional homestead entries. This billwill affect numerous settlers in Oregonand Washington.

Representative Hermann has present-ed many more protests from Oregon lum-bermen against the Wilson bill. Thereis no possibility of defeating the bill inthe House. Tne Senate may kill it.

Representatives Wilson and Doolittlehave prepared an amendment to a Mon-tana bill for selection lands granted under the enabl inc act for State institutions.This bill will allow Washington to makeselection on unsurveyed lands; to securetitle when surveys are made.

Wilson of Washington tried to havean amendment made to the bill allowing Montana to select lands in the HitterRoot Valley, so as to allow his State fourmonths in which to select surveyedlands previous to being thrown open forsettlement. The Chairman of the Committee on Public Lands has bromised toto report a separate bill for the purpose.

Secretary Carlisle has requested Secretary Gresham to instruct MinisterWhite at St. Petersburg to inquire intothe statements, cabled from there, thata large number of indigent immigrantswere being " assisted " out of Russia andsent to the United States. In case thefict should be found substantially asstated. Mr. White is reouested to enterv.. .....a lormal protest to the Kussian government in the name oi the united states.

The Supreme Court has rendered itsopinion declining to pass upon the con-

stitutionality of the dispensatory law ofSouth Carolina, by which the State con-trols the sale of liquors. The case cameup on a writ of habeas corpus to releasea State official, who had seized a barrelof liquor under the law. Chief Justice Ful-ler said the court did not think it neces-sary to pass on Unconstitutionality of theliquor law. The officer was in contemptin Beizing the liquor held by a receiver.For this reason he should be punishedwithout reference to the constitutionalquestion involved.

Secretary Carlisle says there is muclidifficulty experienced by the officerscharged with the duty of assisting theenforcement of the Chinese exclusionlaws by reason of certain practices resorted to by the Chinese coolie, andadds : " I am of the opinion that, asour laws prohibit tbe landing of Chineselaborers, the privilege of passing throughour territory ;annot be safely granted,and Bhould at once be revoked. If thisprivilege is continued, it will be impossible to secure an efficient execution ofthe laws passed by Congress for the ex-clusion of Chinese laborers."

The dismissal of the appeal in theChinese cases before the Supreme Courton motion of appellant's counsel winesoff the. docket all relics of last spring'sright over the Geary taw. It will be im-possible now to review the Question ofconstitutionality until next May, whenthe six months allowed for registrationshall have expired. If any of the Chi-nese refuse, to register, which now seemsimprobable, and the law is set in motion to deport them, a test case can becarried to the Supreme Court and new--

argument be made before that tribunalas it may be organized at that time.

Gross irregularities, amounting tomillions of dollars, are stated to havebeen discovered in the New York custom-house by a special agent of the Treasury Department recently detailed tomake an investigation. His report,which is elaborate as to detail, was laidbefore Secretary Carlisle, and was thesubject of several hours' discussion be-

tween him and Assistant Secretary Hamlin, in charge of customs matters in theTreasury Department. The report refers principally to tobacco refunds, inwhich the irregularities are alleged tohave. occurred. The amount Involved isstated as high as 5,000,000, and grossnegligence or worse is charged againstthe New York custom-hous- e officials,

Hansbrough explained his Russianthistle bill. The bill provides that theSecretary of Agriculture shall employthe necessary help and so direct it as todestroy and exterminate the Russianthistle in every partot tne united stateswherever found, and carries an appro-priation of $1,000,000 to pay the expenses. The Senator said he had hesitated to introduced this bill because itsmacked of paternalism, but aftercareful consideration of the questionand after making a personal investigation while m North Dakota recently hehad reached the conclusion that nationalassistance was necessary to the eradica-tion of the thistle, and 'his object in introducing the bill and calling for thisappropriation this early in the sessionwas to secure action during the winter,so that the Agricultural Departmentmight proceed in conjunction with theseveral states early in the spring to attack the monster all along the line.

The annual report of Hon. John G.Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, hasbeen transmitted to Congress. TheSecretary estimates the revenues of thegovernment for ttie fiscal year, whichwill end June 30, at $430,121,000, andthat expenditures for the same periodwill amount to 1458,121,000, leaving adeficit of $28,000,000. During the firstfive months of the present fiscal yearthe expenditures of the government exceeded the receipts $29,918,005. Thiswas brought about bv decreased receiptsand increased expenditures. Comparedwith the corresponding months lastyear, the customs revenues fell olf $23,-

589,829 ; internal taxes, $7,800,007. Theexpenditures in the War Deparment intne execution oi contracts mane in tneast fiscal year increased $0,102,132; the

navy, lor the same reason, $i,tfiz,z,with other minor increase. There havebeen reductions in other branches of thepublic service of $6,352,200. December1 the net balance in the Treasury wasonly $11,038,448. Of the total amountheld, $12,347,517 was in subsidiary silverand minor coins.

But among received from her husband for servicesnice things have been said in theEastern papers in this connection nonehas proven more valuable as an adver-tisement than an editorial utterance inthe latest issue of the Review of Re-views, one of the most conservativeperiodicals in the country.

ine above paragraph most assuredlyechoes sentiment and goes agreat way towards dispelling the ideawhich some Californians cling to

the influx of Eastern visitors willnot be large. The railroad people havelong ago recognized this fact and arenow making elaborate preparations fortransportation. Strangers are certainlycoming to the Pacific Coast this win-ter by thousands, and when they gethere, thanks to the eleventh-hou- r rail-way arrangements, they goingto have an opportunity to visit theentire Coast, so that San Franciscocan not justly be said to reapeven the lion's share of the advan-tages at This fact is becomingmore widely recognized as the date forthpApaaing ot the. Fair draw near, andthere is a general feeling of pride in thecoming and of determination it should be everythinghas been promised it,

An. experiment was made on Sundaylast in the way of charging admission tot..e Exposition grounds. The onlyspecial attraction offered was a balloonascension and a parachute jump fromthe airship when it at the height of8,000 feet. Otherwise there were enly

buildings to see and the workmenpushing them along toward completion,yet nearly 4,000 people paid 25 centseach to gain admission to the grounds,and several hundreds have paid thesame admissh n on each succeeding dayduring the week. This is accepted bythe management as unmistakable evidence of the fuct the drawing pow-ers of the Exposition have not been overestimated. When once the Fair is startedthere will be no doubt about liberalpatronage.

It is the intention of the management,however, that speciul features shall bewidely advertised during the entire duration of the Exposition, and it is tothat end that days have been set apartfor special observance under favorableauspices for the entire term. In thisway more than half days of theposition have thus been programmed.For the first month the programme isnot an elaborate one, inasmuch as theopening days of the Exposition are naturally supposed to care of themselves. California Pioneers, however, have their day in January, havingselected 24th. Stanford universitywill celebrate on the 20th; and Buttecounty turn out her entire popula-tion on the 29th. In February there willbe a grand musical festival on the 8th;the Pacific Coast Association of FireChiefs will celebrate on 9th, NorthDakota day the 14th and Idaho the 15th.The Benevolent Order of Elks will con-tu-

a very interesting observance ofthe 17th of February as their specialday. Southern California will

loose on the 19th. The Young Men'sinstitute will have the 20th, Santa Cruzcounty the and Washington's birth-day probably suffice as the specialfeature for the rest of the month.

In March there will be another grandmusical festival on the 8th, the Teach-ers' congress on the 13th, a geographicalcongress on the 10th and a characteris-tic celebration of St. Patrick's day onthe. 17th. The state of Michigan and thestate of Nevada have the and 22dof March, respectively, and Sierracounty will celebrate on the 14th.

vuboiuu ui iirt iiuuaeuuiu uuuob woo uvrown property, and that "the loss of thesalary could be given in evidence as anelement of damage, the same as if Bbe

had been working for a stranger." Theappellant insisted that this view of thelaw as it now exists in the state of NewYork was erroneous.

The opinion of the court of appeals iswritten by Judge Irving G. Vann, ofSyracuse, and is concurred in by all themembers of the second division. He re-views the legislation- - in this state re-moving the disabilities of married wom-en, which began with the enabling actof 1860, giving a wife a separate estatein whatever she may acquire by hertrade, business, labor, or services car-ried on or performed on her sole andseparate account, and extending downto the act of 1887, which authorizes amarried woman to convey lands directlyto her husband and accept conveyancesof land directly from him.

He shows that it has uniformly keenheld, notwithstanding the various-change- s

effected by the successive stat-utes relating to married women, that ahusband still has the right to the serv-ices of his wife so far as household workis concerned, even if that householdwork be of a somewhat exceptional char-acter, and that even when she does out-

door work upon her husband's farm, shecannot recover any wages for such labor,although she holds ber husband's writ-ten promise to pay her for it. If sheworks for a third person, the rule is dif-en- t,

and under an act passed in 1884 herearnings in tbat event would be her own.

Finding the law to be well settled byadjudication to the effect we have stat-ed, Judge Vann inquires, inasmuch as"a man cannot make a valid contract topay his wife for extraordinary servicesrendered iu his household or for working on his farm, how can he makevalid contract to pay her for helpingbun make clothes in his business ascustom tailor?" The learned judgecomes to the conclusion that there is nobasis for any distinction.

The effect of this decision may beplainly stated. The husband cannotnow compel his wife to do work forhim which does not fall within the definition and scope of household servicesany more than he could at common law,but if the wife consents to do anyother work she cannot compel her husband to pay her for it. In other words,"such services as she renders him.whether within or without the strictline of her duty, belong to him, and ifbe pays Lar for them it is a gift." Onthe other hand, whatever she earns bymeans of labor performed nnder her ownindependent contracts for persons otherthan her husband is made by statute herindividual property.

The case is one of exceptional interestas presenting a clear statement of therights of married women as they nowexist in this Btute with respect to compensation for their services. New YorkSun.

Agricultural Notes.

If von have never churned granulatedbutter, it is time to begin.

It never increases the milk supply topitch milk stools at the cows.

Give the brood sow a good range, andshe will take exercise enough.

Just now what feed is better for growing pigs than milk and milk feed?

At the price of feed and milk thisseason it will not pay to feed Door cowa

it never does.:t pays to treat cows gently. Someks call it "babving them." Never

mind what it is called if it brings thacash.

It is not necessarily the sleek, fat cowthat is tbe best cow in the dairy ; manya lank, raw-bon- cow is the one thatturns out the butter.

Each degree of cold adds to the amountof corn needed to make a pound of pork.Crowd the porker now, A mixed diet isbetter than clear corn.

More cows are injured from underfeeding than overfeeding while growing, batfewer are ruined. Overfeeding ruinscores; underfeeding injures thousands.

The Russian thistle is taking completepossession of fields of both Dakotas.Unless vigorous measures are taken, itwill soon be almost impossible to eradi-cate it.

When von are husking corn this falland design the stalks for the cows, don'tbe airaiu to leave all the nubbin ears

The cows will eat them withthe fodder, and will be greatly helped onmilk yield thereby.

Now is the time when the carelessfarmer spoils the coming cow by im-proper care of the heifer. She needsgenerous feed not cramming with cornlike a fattening steer, but plenty of clovernay, oats ana a taste 01 otber goodthings.

Agriculture can be made more nearlyan exact science by the application ofirrigation to the soil than by any othermeans whatever. It prevents droughtand makes crops cert-- in, and thna fixesthe earning power and value of the land.We shall see it much more extensivelyapplied in the future than it has been intne past,

Great, large hogs are not as numerousas they were a decade ago. The demandat present is for hogs of a medium size,and farmers have become disposed to?;ive

greater attention to early maturingrather than to those that attain

great size. By varying the food insteadof using corn altogether cheapness of thepore is also secured.

THE COW iTABLE AND STANCHIONS.George Jackson of Marion county.

Ind., says : In the matter of stanchionsthere are many wavs of tving cows tothe stall, but first of all comfort mustbe kept steadily in view, for, if any ofthe cow's surroundings are constrainingand operate to deprive her of ease andfair liberty of movement, the effect isdisquieting and her yield will show un-favorable results. The simplest tie, thecheapest and that affording the greatestamount of liberty and comfort is perhapsa light chain around the neck secured tothe side of the Btall or manger. Variousplans are in use as to the form of thechain and methods of attaching, andsometimes a neck strap is used, andagain the head halter is used, but thisinvolves greater er Dense. For the average dairyman the simple chain fills allrequirements, and is most popular. Tbebest arranged stables are constructedwith the rows of cattle facing each other,with a feeding entry between and water-ing places placed in the passage wav.Some of the advantages gained from thisposition are better facilities and economyIn feeding, the ventilation can be arranged with less danger from drafts, thelight from the windows from behind isbetter for the eves and the whole interioris generally more convenient and moreeconomically arranged. Every well-order-

cow barn should have several openboxes for cows due to calf and for theyoung calves, and the cows should oc-cupy these some weeks before parturi-tion is expected. There is no subjectconnected with the winter managementof a herd ot dairy cows of more vital in-terest to the milk farmer than the con-sideration of plans for dairy stables thatare cheap and convenient.
