Z. M. PotUr of -Ran Miirnnl mesa. Ran '
Diego county, Oil., was ridiculed a few
months ago 'when it beeame known that
lie wis to raise a crop of mustard seed.
The crop will mature aliout July and
it ts estimated to lie alsiiit 1.5)1) pounds
tf swd an acre, or about sixtv-live tons
in alt. This is from about eight pounds
(in acre of the need sown. The total crop
is worth $10,400 at 8 cents a pound,
which is the ruling price.
Attorney-General Chamberlain has
rendered an .opinion upon tho Weston
Normal School act, in which he says it is
evident, t hat the Legislat lire did not in
tend that the appropriation should be
expended in the erection of new build
ings, but only in the parmentof salaries,
tho purchase of needful and proper ap
paratus, and generally in settlement of
such expenses as might ho incurred in
tha successful arrangement of tho school.
A strange complaint . ia prevalent
smong the cattle in Sun Bernardino
county, Cal. It is a disease of the bone,
similar to rav fungus, which starts inside
the bono and consumes it. General lv it
(tarts in; the lmnoa of the left shoulder,
cradilullV reaching other portions of the
body and invariably terminates in death,
generally in from "three to live months.
It is as fatal as plunder nnd is mippwd
to lie us conlii rious. It generally attacks
cattle pastured on heavy dark loam.
Tho Fresno Expositor says: An item

Tbo Ocpartnicrit of State lias not been
informed of the reported ptiriioHoof the
t ChineKH eovernment to retaliate upon
j tl, United KtalcH, evidenced bv the
. 1 in..: t
rxirtrd inohibition of the pundiaxe, use
or wile of American kerosene in the prov
ince of Aiuov. Kven if there ban been
cud! a prohibition, it it: not believed at
(he department that it can be regarded
n a lneiiiHiire adopted in a spirit of retat
iittiou, but rather uh an exhibition of the
extremely coiiHei vativu character of the
ChiiicHe.Vhoie resistance to such an in
novation an the use of kerosene may
have been strengthened by some recent
caHiialiieit. Moreover, it in a fact that a
mere Vicerov of a province would scarce
ly be nnlhoii.cd to iiiKtitule a iiolicy of
I'etaliiition, wliii li would rather be iiiili
uted by the imperial yovornnient itself.
Secretary Hniith was aikel the other
duv what, would be the probable policy
of 'the Interior Department in reference
to the approval of litu of Northern Pa
cific laud under the grunt which wan
not came l in the time Hpecilied, but yet
to which the coiiipiinyuwuuHwlitle. Tlie
Secretary t-eemed to be of the opinion
that, the lamln having lieen earned, the
company would undoubtedly be entitled
to them! and that in the approval of the
lisle, nnle-M the Mlalulea Haul that they
could not, be approved if not earned in
time, hi! kuppoicd that he i-hould not
take that finest ion into consideration,
lie intended to follow the law, no matter
.what tlie assumption might he of parlies
int"re.-ied. He aided: "There is no
doubt that toe building of the road was
a great improvement. It has been of
va-t U'netit to I he count rv, and the gov
ernment hax h:id ibe udvant ige of Hell
ing its landu, and ibe country has been
fettled and developed. Of couise, tlie
road baa been built and the lands have
been earned, I shall look into the law
on the Huhn'ct before making approval,
and shall act on thelaw, whatever it is."

It was migufsted that quite a large puty

ic Secretary Kuid that ho ha I
it, but that he would have Ut
follow the law Congress bad enacted
rather than anvlhing that mav lie in
prospect. The probabilities are tha' the
':.-, ,.-'11 .l.. n ,,on-.l n'' ,1 ...til--
made to forfeit the lands will be defeatist
by the Democratic administration, as it
seems to lie regarded that the road, even
ll it did not complete its line in tlie tune
specilied, made every elfbrt to do eo.and
its intention was amply shown from the
fact that the road was really built.
WOaLD-S FAIR NOTES.
A lunch room for the people who carry
1 inches has been opened at the fair
grounds at Chicago, uud all the tables
are well tilled.
Tbo suggestion comes from Chicago
that the World's Fair may have to be
continued throughout next y?ar in order
to enable tlie management to recoup it
self for the vast expenditures that nave
been made.
The Spanish caravels are on their way
to Chicago by a long water route, and.

Tbo total expenses for Mav, thevsiv,
were less than (00ll,03D, or about t'l8, 100
per day, while the total receipts ware
$723,000, the exposition being open I Hit
tweuty-seven days. The expenses are
being" reduced largely every day, while
the average daily revenues from admis
sions and collections are constantly in
creasing. Much-needed money is now flowJng
into the treasury of the ok pod l ion r.s a
result of the largely increased attendance
of visitors. No one welcomes the change
mora than Treasurer Seeburger, whose
position since May 1 has not besn an
enviable ono. Tho exposition has been
short of ready money to liquidate its ob
ligations to contractors and employes,
and it is not out of the woods yet by any
means. Bank and commercial failures
in that region nnd tho panicky foi ling
among savings-bank depositors, which
has just subsided, have made it impos
sible for tho oxposition corporation to
borrow any largo sum of money, and the
directors liave stuck manfully to the pay-as-yon-go
policy, having confidence ut a
speedy and permanent change in the
number of paid admissions. Tho 100,
000 mark has been passed at the gates
several times, anil is accepted as an in
dication of an era of prosperity nnd a
plcntitude of cash to pay off all out
standing bills. There is a standingorder
at the llnance department for Auditor
Ackerman to holdall vouchors for Money
due ou April and May contract work in
his olllce until there is money to spare
in the treasury for the payment of it.
It means that" only Mn.-ch bills have
been paid ou contract work, but the em
ployes of the exposition have been paid
promptly. There is much discontent
among the workmen on tho pay roll of
the fair on account of tho order ist is
sued by the director of works reducing
the force to an eight-hour basis arjd eight
hours' pay. They have been forking
ten hours and for eleven houri' pay.
There is talk of striking, but such a stop
is likely to result in the striken being
put on an indu:iuite vacation basis with
out pay. , '
