Yesterday afternoon as Stanley and Jay Housel were traveling a trail over the ridge between Shady Creek and Jones Bar on the South Yubariver, “abot fourteen miles from this city, they discovered the corpse of a Chinaman who had probably been dead for several months, The body was ina mummified condition and showed no signs of decomposition so far as a casual examination developed. A pole, two “packs” or bundles and a long dirk were on the trail, while the body was found in the brush thirty feet down the hill. Midway between the trail and the body were.a pair of slippers and a walking stick. By the side of the corpse was the hat that had been worn by the ‘ Chinaman during his life time. One of the feet of the dead man had been partially eaten by,some wild animal. . Extending from the right shoulder to the waist was a cut or tear in the jacket. The Housel brothers did not touch the remains and cannot say whether there was a cut or stab under the clothing. There were no bloodstains around, but had there been the: recent rains would . probably have dissipated them. The packs were not examined to ascertain their contents. ‘The finders think the Chinaman was going from North San Juan to the river when he met his death, but the Mongolians working along the river say none of their men are missing. This morning the Housels came to town and sent word to Coroner Hocking at Grass Valley. That official went with them this afternoon to the scene of the discovery, Deputy Sheriff Pascoe accompanying the party. STILL REFUSES 10 PAY. President Valentine Attempts to Explain the Ex ress Company’s Position. Wells, Fargo & Co. still refuse to pay the war revenue tax, notwithstanding the recent decision by Judge Troutt. It is true the company has paid the damages and costs awarded in that case, but it declines to adopt as a rule of practice Judge Troutt’s construction of the law. President Valentine defines the attitude of the company as follows: “Yes, Judge Troutt decided that! Costley case against us, but then that is only a Superior Court decision, and there have been two or three like it in different Circuit Courts in the East, but until the United States Supreme Court renders a decision against us 1! don’t think we will begin buying war. stamps.

The Sacramento Bee in commenting editorially upon the Railroad Commissioner fight in this district says: California’s wheat crop this year is roughly estimated at: 500,000 tons, althrough positively reliable figures will cember, when the Produce Exchange makes an inventory. A man well posted on grain statistics states that owing to the fact that most of the grain this year has been grown in the Sacramento Valley and the northern part of the San Joaquin Valley, possibly 25 per cent. of the crop will this year be moved by water, although ordinarily a much less per centage is transported over our rivers. As Washington wheat is enabled to compete with California wheat this year ata freight charge of $8 a ton to Stockton, it is fair to estimate that the average freight charge for moving California wheat is not less than $3 a ton. Therefore the railroads will receive, on the basis of these estimates, $1,125,000 for moving the 375,000 tons of this year’s wheat crop which will be transported by rail. H.M.La Rue, who for four years, has represented this district on the State Board of Railroad Commission; ers, was given an opportunity at one time to get a reduction of 8 per cent. on railroad freight charges on grain, a proposition commended by his attorneys, by the Attorney-General of the State, and, as La Rue acknowledges in his speeches, by his own judgment. Had he taken advantage of the opportunity, he would have saved about $100,000 to the grain growers of Northern California this year, for it is a fact that nearly all of the grain grown during the past season in California has been grown in the northern part of the State. La Rue is a demagogue who owed his election in 1894 to specious promises made to the people to reduce freight rates. If the railroad voluntarily recredit could come to him, and he would lose part of his campaign thunder. Consequently he failed to follow up the offer made by the railroad, and the great body of grain growers of Northern California will be compelled to pay nearly $100,000 more for moving this year’s grain crop than they would had La Rue been true to his trust instead of playing the part of a demagogue. But this year the California wheat crop is but half what it is ordinarily. Next year it may be 1,000,000 bushels . instead of 500,000 bushels. It is fairly safe to assume that it will be, and, unless some one is elected to the office of Railroad Commissioner who will accomplish more than La Rue has done, . grain growers of Californiu $200,000 next year. La Rue has been wofully derelict in his duty. He has been and is a-demagogue, and he should beretired. -What he has cost the people in the past is . simply an indication of what he may cost them in the — if re-elected. FIRE PRECAUTIONS.

Mardon of Brush Creek, Butte county, a letter don, was burned to death on the 21st of this month when the hotel at Clairville, Plumas county, was destroyed. Her name was given at the time in the newspaper reports as Mrs. O. Marden. It was not known by her relatives here that she had gone to Olairville and no . special attention was paid to the similarity in names. The family formerly resided at French Corral, and some two years ago went to Pike City from which place they went north. Mrs. Mardon was born in this city, being.a daughter of the late A. B. Gregory, a pioneer settler here. Besides her husband she leaves five sons and one daughter, one of the sons being engineer on the narrow gauge railroad running into Clairville. Her sisters are Mrs. W. D. Long of this city, Mrs. W. R. Coe of San Francisco, Mrs. Wm. Casserley of Goodyear’s Bar, and Mrs. Victor. Helmet of Pike City. John S. Gregory is her brother. The Nevada City friends and relatives are pained and shocked to learn of Mrs. Mardon’s sad fate. stating that his wife, Mrs. Lizzie Mar. ' DEVOTED DELAWARE. wae Tax Crusade in Which Maguire Took a Hand. In the early months of 1896 the single taxers invaded the state of Delaware with the intent te carry the little commonwealth by storm for the single tax. The conditions seemed favorable. There was nothing in the state constitution prohibiting such a system, there was no state tax at all on land (all the state revenue coming from railroads and liquor saloons), the population was largely urban and landless, only one family in four lived on a farm, and half the farmers were renters. Surely, with the railroads, the saloons, the renters, and the homeless laborers inclined by interest to put the tax all upon the land owners; with Henry George and Father McGlynn, James G. Maguire and Sockless Simpson, aided by a hundred lesser lights clad in uniform, marching two by two, a mile apart, with magie lanterns, bonCOMBS!

But, alas! when the votes were counted, out of a total of 38,386 cast in the little stage, 1,005 were favorable for the confiscation of the lands of the people in order that the saloons and the railroads might, for purposes of state expenditure, go free of taxation. What a fall was that! Is it a wonder that Henry George, catching the way of the wind, skipped out for New York, that McGlynn made his peace with the pope, that Simpson -hied himself to Kansas, and Maguire to California ? With the counting of the Delaware vote all hope of carrying an eastern state for the single jtax vanished, and the battle ground was transferred to California, whemessanother Waterloo 7 was-met_in_the legislature. The last ditch of single-taxism in this country, and for this generation, is the local option taxation system to which the conglomeration party has pledged its faith in this election. Scorch this craze in California this year by defeating Maguire soundly, and children will have grown old in years and wisdom before the public will again be plagued with the issue. Position of the Times.” The opposition press has made much of certain criticisms which the Los Angeles “Times” offered regarding the selection of two members of the Republican executive committee, Undoubtedly, the ‘‘Times” was in error in allowing its personal hostilities to be made a pretext for unfavorable comment in the opposition papers, but its loyalty to Mr. Gage and the Repu biican party has never been in question. It is doing good work for the party and its candidates, and will so continue to the end of the campaign.

Mardon of Brush Creek, Butte county, a letter don, was burned to death on the 21st of this month when the hotel at Clairville, Plumas county, was destroyed. Her name was given at the time in the newspaper reports as Mrs. O. Marden. It was not known by her relatives here that she had gone to Olairville and no . special attention was paid to the similarity in names. The family formerly resided at French Corral, and some two years ago went to Pike City from which place they went north. Mrs. Mardon was born in this city, being.a daughter of the late A. B. Gregory, a pioneer settler here. Besides her husband she leaves five sons and one daughter, one of the sons being engineer on the narrow gauge railroad running into Clairville. Her sisters are Mrs. W. D. Long of this city, Mrs. W. R. Coe of San Francisco, Mrs. Wm. Casserley of Goodyear’s Bar, and Mrs. Victor. Helmet of Pike City. John S. Gregory is her brother. The Nevada City friends and relatives are pained and shocked to learn of Mrs. Mardon’s sad fate. stating that his wife, Mrs. Lizzie Mar. ' DEVOTED DELAWARE. wae Tax Crusade in Which Maguire Took a Hand. In the early months of 1896 the single taxers invaded the state of Delaware with the intent te carry the little commonwealth by storm for the single tax. The conditions seemed favorable. There was nothing in the state constitution prohibiting such a system, there was no state tax at all on land (all the state revenue coming from railroads and liquor saloons), the population was largely urban and landless, only one family in four lived on a farm, and half the farmers were renters. Surely, with the railroads, the saloons, the renters, and the homeless laborers inclined by interest to put the tax all upon the land owners; with Henry George and Father McGlynn, James G. Maguire and Sockless Simpson, aided by a hundred lesser lights clad in uniform, marching two by two, a mile apart, with magie lanterns, bonCOMBS!

But, alas! when the votes were counted, out of a total of 38,386 cast in the little stage, 1,005 were favorable for the confiscation of the lands of the people in order that the saloons and the railroads might, for purposes of state expenditure, go free of taxation. What a fall was that! Is it a wonder that Henry George, catching the way of the wind, skipped out for New York, that McGlynn made his peace with the pope, that Simpson -hied himself to Kansas, and Maguire to California ? With the counting of the Delaware vote all hope of carrying an eastern state for the single jtax vanished, and the battle ground was transferred to California, whemessanother Waterloo 7 was-met_in_the legislature. The last ditch of single-taxism in this country, and for this generation, is the local option taxation system to which the conglomeration party has pledged its faith in this election. Scorch this craze in California this year by defeating Maguire soundly, and children will have grown old in years and wisdom before the public will again be plagued with the issue. Position of the Times.” The opposition press has made much of certain criticisms which the Los Angeles “Times” offered regarding the selection of two members of the Republican executive committee, Undoubtedly, the ‘‘Times” was in error in allowing its personal hostilities to be made a pretext for unfavorable comment in the opposition papers, but its loyalty to Mr. Gage and the Repu biican party has never been in question. It is doing good work for the party and its candidates, and will so continue to the end of the campaign.
