His hand was ever open, extending cheerful and willing aid to the friendless and needy. He was a man of Integrity and his word was as good as hia bond.

Hia nature was at war with affectation. He had who of us have not? They will be buried with him and forgotten and we will remember only his virtues. They wore strong and enduring, and of a character that won for him the confidence and friendship of all he met and the affection and love of hia bereaved family. A MERCHANT'S LAMENT, There aro some shoppers In this town who think they know It all But they never buy In no, this town's too small. They shop, and shop, and shop, and on clerks have no pity, But when they have a cent to spend they go to Kansas City.

But human nature's much the same, no matter where you go. And while our dear friends here think our store so very slow, In Kansas City her sister or cousin to say the least, Can't find a thing to suit her there, and so goes farther east, In Chicago, the big city that Is ruled by men from Cork, Her sister's sister falls to find anything this side of New York; While in New York another and there are many more than Can't find a thing to suit her there, and she goes across the sea. In London and In Paris, where still Uielr sisters dwell, really don't know where they go, but I hope they go to hell. Globe. FOUNDRY SITE PURCHASED.

The delay Is due to an accident which occurred near Delta, In which at least one man lost Ills life. The Chronicle and Call publish Sacramento dispatches which'say'that Engineer Freel was killed. Tho Examiner publishes a Redding dispatch which says that Engineer Fteel was killed, also an unknown man, who was riding behind the second engine. It appears that the train was proceeding in two sections-. Tho first section of twelve cars, with two engines at tho head, was approaching Delta at 8:40 o'clock.

Conductor Do- panger was in charge. About half a mile from Delta station tho train ran Into a landslide and both engines were derailed by a boulder that weighed fully 20 tons. Tho two engineers and their firemen esrapod unhurt In the collision with (he rock, but while they were examining tlielr engines a second landslide swept down over tho track. Engineer Frcel was struck by a big boulder and instantly killed. Ills body was burled beneath the debris and it will not be recovered until tomorrow morning.

Engineer Freol was one of tho oldest and most popular engineers on the road. He leaves a wife and family at Dunsmulr. The track Is hurled under four feet of mud and covered with Immense boulders for a distance of 160 feet Two large trees have been thrown across the track, one of them nearly four feel in diameter. Traffic cannot bo reatmied within hours over this section of the road. The forward engine Is lying on the outside of tho track, nothing being visible except tile cab, the rest being burled in mud.

The second engine Is lying across Ihe track, partially demolished. The rails are badly bent and some of the roadbed is washed away. Small landslides are constantly occurring and the whole hillside track region Is In a dangerous condition. Rain has been falling for nearly two weeks and the country Is in very bad shape. More trouble Is expected to result When the wreck near Delta occurred the rear brakeman ran back and succeeded In flagging the second section, which was following close behind, His prompt action prevented collision with tho first section and undoubtedly saved many lives.

Then the second section backed to Lamolne, three miles north of Delta, and when the cars were placed In a safe position the two en- LAMB BACK. This ailment Is usually caused by rheumatism of the muscles and may be cured by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm two or three times a day and rubbing -the parts vigorously at each application, if this does not afford relief, bind on a piece of (lannel slightly dampened with Pain Balm, and quick relief Is almost sure to follow.

The trains aro being held at Ijimotne until (urllior notice. Both the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph wires were carried away by the landslide when the wreck occurred.

CONTRA COSTA'B HOPES FADS. A Martinez dispatch to tlio Bee, under date of February 20th. intimates lliat tho people of Contra Costa county have practically abandoned hope of having tho Burgess tract, located noar Walnut creek, selected as tho site of tho university farm. The reason assigned Is that tho board ot supervisors refused to appropriate J2000 toward tho bonus which tho citizens proposed to offer with tho farm. Three of the tlvo supervisors opposed tho appropriation ana tho district attorney sustained thorn for tho reason that there Is no law authorizing tho use of county funds for any such purpose.

The hope ot the Contra Coat county people could not have been very strong In the beginning if tho loss of nu appropriation ot J2000 gave them cold feet. CYCLERY SOLD. P. 'B.
