'Red Mike' went to Yuba Dam i.fter that and was killed.

"I went down to San Jose under the name of Charley Buford and opened a butcher shop. The quicksilver mines were being worked at Alniaden then, nd they used to get the money to pay off by stage from San Francisco. One day I went out about three miles and made the messenger throw out the sack with in it. "I then went back to San Jose. I was rrested afterward and served seven ear- in San CJuentin.

He used to lido around the camps on a mule buying jold dust. I made him give up his sack, had ninety pounds of dust in it, then I pushed him and his mule over tbe grade. Levy's leg was broken and his mule was killed. I lost all the dust the tame night playing faro. "1 killed a man once.

AMUSEMENTS. The Metropolitan Theater was well nlledj again last night, and Frederick Warde was given another token of the appreciation by Sacramentans of his genius and ability. He appeared in his greatest character, that of Virginius, and of course the performance was a grand one. Mr. Warde has been seen here so often in this part that comment upon his rendition of it in unnecessary, but it may be said that he has never before had such perfect support.

There is no weak timber in the company, and every character in the pla3- was well presented. Miss Fanny Bowman assumed the role of Virginia, in place of Miss Adele Belgarde, and astonished her greatest admirers by the charming manner in which she portrayed that difficult character. To-night "The Mountebank," with Mr. Warde in the title role. This is another of his great characters, and he will no doubt be greeted by another crowded house.

A fair audience greeted the company at the Clunie Opera-house last night on the second night of the production of "Fanchon, the Cricket." The piece passed off more smoothly than on the preceding night, the audience manifesting their appreciation of the excellence of the performance by frequent and hearty applause. Miss Woodthorpe has a splendid comprehension of the difficult character of the erratic Cricket, and last night surprised her warmest admirers. "Fanchon" will be repeated this and to-morrow evenings, and deserves a full house on each occasion. After the performance at the Metropolitan Theater last night Frederick Warde gave a quiet supper at the Golden Eagle Hotel to the members of his company in honor of his birthday. It was a most pleasing and soulful affair, as Mr.

Waide's company of ladies and gentlemen are as charming off the stage as they are attractive and brilliant upon it. They constitute a great happy family, who live together without any of the bickerings or jealousies which are supposed to exist in many theatrical companies. They had a joyous "feast of reason and How of soul," wishing the great tragedian "many happy returns ol the day." The box office of the Metropolitan will be open this morning for the sale of seats for Miss Gale's engagement. At Armory Hall, on Friday evening, Sutter Circle, Companions of the Forest, will give a grand ball. Articles of Incorporation.

23d. Eds. Record-Union: In an issue of your paper of December last I noticed a list of "deserving poor." I would like to offer a good home to one, if I could find the right one; and not knowing the address of the Mr. Dale mentioned in your article, I would make bold to ask help of you. I would insert an advertisement In the "Wanted" column, but thought this the surer way.

If you will put me in communication with Mr. Dale, or any one interested in the poor, I shall esteem it a great favor. The home I offer is a quiet one in the country, in a family of five. All the privileges of one of the family will be accorded to one willing to assist in the housework for her board. It is just the place for a poor, deserving widow with one or two children.

Hoping that this will meet with some consideration, I am respectfully yours, Mbs. J. T. Becket. EASTERN FRUIT MEN.

While living in Ohio one of my children was greatly Afflicted With Boils having 30 on her limbs, and being unable to walk. I had heard of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and bought a bottle, half of which cured entirely. Two years after, another child was afflicted as badly. I used the other bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla with like results.

About four years after, the child first afflicted was again tormented like Job. and I bought a bottle (on Sunday at that) and again a cure. I gave some of the medicine to a poor woman and two children; they were helped as were mine. Through a testimonial sent to C. I.

While the older Sarsaparillas contain potash which aggravates eruptions, Joy's is peculiarly a stomach and bowel corrective, and is the only one that is so. Its regulating influences cause boils to dry up and disappear almost immediately.

A cue in point. "I had boils break out on my neck. One had bursted. I took Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla and in aftiv days the other boils had dried up. In the spring of 1890 I took one of the other Sarsaparillas and tho result was a mass of pimples.
