embraced in a forest reservation. The
uew bill simply continues that reser-'
vatlon, and In addition puts the bur
den upon the state of protecting the
park from being despoiled or trespassed
upon. All this land has been with
drawn from settlement for several
years.

Marks claimed was taken from bis
house about two o'clock Tuesday
morning, while ull were asleep. While
circumstantial evidence seems to point

theless true that many good citizens
believe him innocent. The prelimi

"To what io you allude?" aket Mr.

''Oh, excise me," said Mr. Kreeho'Jy, 'I
thouirht yon were (iiciisMiiig the merits and i
denieritH of Colonel ,lewiepr."'
"And bo ve were," chimed in a half- '
dozen voices Mmultaiieuiiwly. j
"As I wm-Baying," snid Mr. Frecbody, j
"the way 'Cal' has managed to subdue that
cantankerous Elder Way back iscoimiieml

changed front, yet can't (ell just how he
stands, I read Im quibble over four times,
then 1 read it over backwards, then side
ways; but I guess we will have to accept
his last sentence as conclusive."
"At any rate," said Mr, Mayflower, "he
will be nure careful in the fliture about
handling young spuds lest he should otlend
the mother vine."
No one knew what Mr. M&yilower was
hitting ath and before another word was
spoken the choir commenced singing "My
soul, be on thy guard."
The conversation took place in the pres
ence of "Tubs." I did not aWend church
myself as I had to doctor Helen Blazes (that
is the name of Cindy's buggy animal, which
1 bought f Ike Blazes) for ttte colic.
I bad jjist finished dressing a chicken for
dinner, when '"Tubs" returned, bringing
with him Mr. TuJip.
"What is the matter with Elder Way
back?" asked Mr. Tulip, when we were
comfortably seated at the dinner table.
"Arrogance," answered Lucinda prompt-
iy.
'Yon are correct;" Baid Mr. Tulip; "arro
gance flavored with egoism. He is very
anxious," continued Mr. Tulip, "to discuss
atheistic evolution, and 1 think he bas got
hold of a copy of Krnst Haeckel's "Evolu
tion of Man." li so, he is pretty well
posted, and rot believing in the ability of
'al' to cope with him he will call upon
his huniorous(?) friend -Clodhopper' to play
the role of an agnostic."
"This will be quite convenient for the
Elder," said Cindy, as she modestly sipped
her tea, "for while be is shoving the quill
he can look in tlie mirror and see 'Clod
hopper' performing tlie same feat. 1 shall
never forgive him," she continued, "for
calling Cal a hypocrite."
"Don't let that bothf r you, Cindv Mrs.
Jewipper, I mean," Baid Mr. Tulip. "I
have known Cal ever since I was a boy, and
I know that he possesses virtues unknown
in manand but few women as to that mat
e" since the days of Washington."
Notwithstanding 1 have been used to such
idttery for over GO years, I blushed and
? iist have blushed very deeply, as Cindy
t. ouht that I had got choked on a chicken
bui,e, and called on Mr, Tulip for help,
while "Tubs'1 brought a cup of water which
was dashed in my face before f could utter
a word.
I think thai. I shall read up and at some
future time altuck the "Elder" on his athe
istic evolution theory, altho1 he has Huxley,
Haeckie, Kvans, Darwin, the Boston Ob
server and the iron-Clad Age, to back him
up, while 1 have nothing but the Old Testa
ment and Gulliver's travels.
Now, "Elder," while I am stumpuig the
county in behalf of Silas Butterville, who is
running for representative, I hope you will
adhere closely to the sentiments expressed
in tlie last sentence in your last article, and
remember the fate of Annanias and his

Only one week more and .itSf
nia Midwinter International' bxifosition
will be in full running order. The ennyi
wiuter rains have been trying to delay
preparations for this great industrial
event, but the effort has been vain
one. The rains have been the means ot
pushing forward the shrubs and flowers,
which are beginning to bloom as they
do in spring time in the East, only more
so, an4 even the progress ol nneotn-1,
pleted concessional adjuncts to the Ex
position, seems to have- been accelerated. -Surely
nothing ever sprang from earth
o rapidly as have these buildings. A
fortnight ago it looked as if the archi
tecturai part ol the Exposition was :
practically complete. The main build
ings were done and all the great eon- ,
cession were ready for business. AU
that was lacking was the reception
installation of exhibits. Bat the sci
of the Exposition continues to grow.
Applications are constantly being re
ceived, for further concessional privi
leges, and the Exposition management,
nothing loath to secure its percentage of
profit on any first-class venture for
which outsiders earn to pnt up the capi
tal, does not discourage new arrivals of
this sort. '- '.
A number of the larger concessions
have been in operation for a week or
more now, and notwithstanding the fact
that the Exposition has not yet been of
ficially opened, they are n . illy doing a
good business. There has been an average-
of 2,000 paid admissions every day
since the gates were opened and since 35
cents admission began to be charged.
This rate of admission will be in force
until the 27th, when the grand ceremo
nial of dedication will take place. There
after admission will be 60 cents. Ar
rangements for Dedication Day are pro- ;
greasing satisfactorily. The grand stand,
which is to seat 7,000 invited guests,
will sorely be finished in time. A large
band stand is being erected in the Grand
Central Court, and the famous Iowa
State Band, which is to be one of the
attractions on opening day, is already
on the ground.
There have been during the past week
three important concessional openings.
One of these was that of the Firth wheel,
which carried on Saturday last more
than 2,000 people around its airy circuit '
and established itself at a single whirl
as a prime favorite. This wheel is 120
feet in diameter, and being eitnated on
one of the highest points in the Exposi
tion grounds gives a birdseye view from
the height of about 150 feet. It is i
model of safe construction and easy mo
tion, and is quite as conspicuous a feat-
ure of tills Exposition as the Ferris
wheel was at the Chicago World's Fair.
Another important event of the went
has been the opening of the Cycloram ;
of Kilauea, the burning volcano. This
grand realistic picture has been greatly
improved upon since it was seen on the
Midway Plaisance, and it is shown here
in San Francisco with every additional
accessory which experience has sug
gested. But perhaps the most interesting of
all inaugural exercises thus far has been
the start made by the '40 Mining Camp
in the favor of the public. This feature
of the Exposition is as nniqne as it is in
teresting. Everything that has been
claimed for it has already been fulfilled,
and all its special features have been
put in early active operation with a
view to have things running smoothly
when the great day of days arrives. On
the occasion of the opening dance in the
Gold Gulch Dance Hall everybody pres
ent was taken utterly by storm. Fan
dango was nevtr danced as it was on
this occasion, aud the aid miners who
had assembled to witness the scene
wanted to catch the dancers up in their
arms, so full of enthusiasm were they
and so full of reminiscence of the days
of gold. There were two men shot (?)
during the progress of the dance, car
ried out on a board, etc., but the dance
went on. Several claims have been
jumped already and other shooting
scrapes may be expected any day. None
of the guns used are loaded, however,
so that there is more fun than danger in
this part of the programme.
One of the fain within this great lair
was opened on Jan. 20. This was the
Northern California citrus fair. It is
being held in a special building erected
by the northern and central counties of
California, where citrus fruits in i .
ters, in jars, in heaps, in piles, and in
the construction of buildings, are to be
viewed on every hand, and where there
were great doings on the day referred
to, the eicuse for the demonstration
being that this was the first gun ready
for firing. This fair opened thus early
because the orange growers say that this
is the time to show their fruit to best
advantage. The orange growers in the
southern part of th state, however, find
that their fruits show off better a little
later in the season, so that their citrus
fair will not be opened until the middle
of February.
The latest congress that has been ar
ranged for in connection with the Expo
sition is the Grange congress. April 14
and 15 have been chosen as the days on
which this congress shall meet. It will
be under tho auspices of the (Stati
Grange of California. Invitat4 H'- '
been sent out to every Vb'
grange in the United J?
