The olive picking season la at band and there la a good crop. Sqe 60-eent column ad, of sunny unfurnished rooms to rent, Say a good word for Woodland when you can; every little helps. Patch and repair la not a good policy to adopt In working for the Improve- ment-ot Woodland. confidently believe that Woodland has seen Its worat days; henceforth It will steadily Improve. The "Democrat" makes diligent efforts to cover the local field.

How well It succeeds we leave our readers to Judge. Don't forget the Company dance thta evening at new armory hall. Good floor, good music and a good time for everybody. We are having a practical demonstration In this city that It Is possible to be progressive as well as economical at the same time. This Is pay day at the creamery and Secretary Joslyn Is authorized to dls- tribute among the patrons the sum of $13,250, the result of the operations during 'the month of October.

The regular dancing class and social given by Prof. Clarke will take place In the new armory next Friday evening. See acT in 60-cent column. -M-f Governor Pardee has issued his Thanksgiving day proclamation. Of course it conforms with the day designated by the president, the 30th of November.

It has been announced that next Sunday at both masses In the Catholic church collections will he taken to pay the taxes on the residence property and real estate. Work so long delayed on the Woodland Bank building on account of the delay in the arrival of a part of the material Is now going on with all possible expedition. Woodland Parlor, No. 90, N. D.

G. held a regular meeting Tuesday night. Only routine business was transacted, hut nevertheless there was good attendance. Mary Juliet Hamilton died In Alameda Tuesday. She was a native of Vermont and 80 years, 6 months and 19 days old.

Deceased was a sister-in-law of Mrs, C. S. Brown of this city. V- Congressman McKlnlay will deliver his lecture, "With Tatt In the Philippines," in the opera house, Thursday evening, November 23d. Admission will be free.

The lecture Is said to be very Interesting. J. A. Spencer of Oroville is temporarily In charge of the local Postal Telegraph office. Manager Maben Is improving at his father's home In Marysville and expects to be able to resume his duties soon.

Few will deny that dainty service adds to the attractiveness of a meal; therefore, the Ingeniously arranged bill of fare printed In the ad. of E. Fraet, tho jeweler, should bo perused by every reader of the "Democrat." If any movement is necessary for the civic betterment of Woodland don't rely solely upon the local newspapers to keep up the agitation. No loyal citizen will seek to evade a duty he owes to the community In which be lives. One of the most plausible explanations of the presence of BO many strangers who aeam to be looking tor Investments la that visitors often discover opportunities and advantages that are invisible to the oldest Inhabitant.

It Is very gratifying to the many old friends of Noah Myera to learn that he IB now more vigorous and robust than he TVBB ten years ago. Then he was threatened serious stomach trouble. Now his health appears to be perfect. Mrs. 8.

They are meeting with good success In the matter of right of way for the proposed new i.

llBC. Mother'a mince your dreams will haunt; more you the mart you netf F. W. Brendel haa been selling or anges from a Yolo orchard for nearly a week. They are not very large but they are luscious and well flavored.

The day Is not far distant when Yolo county groves will furnish all the oranges necessary to supply the local demands. Mr. and Mrs. O. A.

Lowe of this city and Mr. aud Mrs. D. McPhee of San Ffanclsco Joined an excursion party San Francisco Tuesday afternoon. This party will go as far as the city of Mexico and eighteen will be required to complete the Itinerary.

yf' nPerhaps it Is just as well, after all, that the high school football team was shut out In the preliminaries. So many attacks have been made within the last two weeks on the game as it 18 now played that unless it Is radically changeu public sentiment will force Its abandonment. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace R.

Pond are becoming quite prominent in Berkeley society. Last week we had occasion to note a function in which they were quite active. Mrs. Pond haa sent out invitations for a large card party to be given Friday, November 17th, at the Claremont Club house. The Woodland Band is now practicing In the north room of the old library department in the city hall building.

Facilities for lighting it have been put in but a number of Improvements are necessary before it will be an ideal meeting room. These will probably be made In due time. A number of seedling orange trees arc growing in Sheriff Griffin's yard. All of them were full ot fruit, but on two of them, as soon as the oranges began to color, many of them split and probably half ot them dropped from the tree. Mr.

Griffin haa as yet been unable to determine the cause. Mrs. W. P. Coleman, formerly of Woodland but now of Sacramento, has decided to make a trip around the world, She will accompany Mr.

and Mrs. Charles D. Pierce of Sac Francisco. The start will be made in January, but the Itinerary In detail of the party has not yet been made public. A number of the local Foresters are going to Knights Landing this evening in response to an Invitation from Court Grafton, F.

of A. Grand Chief Hanger Root and Grand Sub Chief Ranger Simmons are expected to be present. There will be several initiations and other business of importance. The Indian summer" and tho chill of the rainy period is in the air. The season is not' so distinct here as In other states.

Indeed the summer season often apparently runs into the so-called winter season so that it Is some times difficult to determine where one ends and the other begins. The regal autumn Is still with us and there Is no sign of the dull hue that pervades the sky during the intervals between showers in the winter season. This Is all very pleasant for the people who live under the irrigation system, but it is getting to be a hardship in localities where the feed is scarce. Before the last windstorm Mr. and Mrs, Chas, Richmond's flower garden was one of the handsomest in this city.

The chrysanthemums were badly damaged but the red carnations are still very beautiful. The disaster to tie chrysanthemums has about decided Mr. Richmond to replace them with carnations, Grapes are now so scarce that they may be appropriately classed as a luxury. It is possible to and them occasionally out on the farms, but they have disappeared altogether from the stands of the grocers and fruit dealers. Now that they are gone we are better able to appreciate them at their real value.

Vic Holmes haa returned to San Francfgco. He informs ua that his father is still in Fairbanks, in the Klondike country, Holmes is keep- Ing hooks In the Pine and Steiner street office of the telephone company Vic is still In the electrical business and Is wiring some new buildings for the Sharon estate. T. F. Laugenour, who since the deplorable accident, as a result of which he loat one hand, haa been confined to his home, is again able to drive Into Woodland and transact his business usual.

When he first appeared Monday morning he received a very hearty and sincere welcome from many old friends. Mies Minnie Lee Noe's high school associates know it but it will be newe to many other of her Woodland friends to learn that did not remain in Missouri us long as she expected. She is now in San Francisco taking a post graduate high school course and next year she will enter the state university. tMIII Ml It: ii! 1111 IOHM EPH WEISS, THE EXPERT Refracting optician of Franclico, now in Woodland the Hottl alttt City Attorney Plckard Is a delegate to the Municipal League Convention, which began a session at Chico today. Mr.

Pickard is a close observer and always on the alert for some new suggestions that he can utilize in improving municipal conditions. The citizens of Chico have arranged to give the delegates a good time. On Monday wo published the result of the Colusa-Marysvllle basketball game, 27 to 2 in favor of Colusa, Marysvllle'6 explanation is that their team has been accustomed to play under boys' rules and Indoors, and when they tried to play under girls' rules on a baseball diamond they were Incapable of of a showing. Fishing and duck-hunting each have their enthusiastic votaries and just now the. opportunities are ample for them to gratify their love for their favorite sport.

Game Is plentiful, especially on the preserves where shoot- Ing Is restricted to certain days In the week, and there, are plenty of black bass in the river and the sloughs. Not Jong ago O. A. Lovdal refused to permit a revenue collector to go on to his hop ranch in this county. The officer was in search of Japanese and he had Lovdal arrested on a charge of obstructing an officer In the discharge of his duty.

Lovdal 's pica was ignorance that the man was an officer and the grand Jury discharged him. The, season during which Woodland lawns must be daily irrigated and frequently mown is practically over. It is now in order to cover them over lightly with some fertilizer, which with the winter ruins, will restore some of the elements in the soil that deteriorate during the summer months on account of much use of well water. The trustees of country school districts should not declare a holiday that will include the 26th, 27th and 2Sth of the dates covering the meetings of the State Teachers' Association at Berkeley. It they do there might be some legal objection to allowing the teachers pay while in attendance at that convention and the county Institute.

There is more or less discussion just now as to whether the present moon Is a wet or a dry one. There are some people, however, who insist that there Is no relation between the moon and the weather and in support of their position they point out the fact that we have dry summers during which the moon behaves Just as it does during the rainy season. E. C. Rust and family have moved from Jackson, Amador county, and taken up their residence in Berkeley Mr.

Rust is employed in San Francisco. He was for a. long time editor of the Winters Express and Is a man of auch recognized ability and strong newspaper instinct that we are of the opinion that the desire to return to journalism will prove irresistible. It is not at all Improbable that a former Yolo county man, who still reels he Is at home here, may be the next Democratic nominee for governor. The mere suggestion of Senator Diggs as an available man, made in these columns recently, has met with so much favor among his old friends and associates that a strong movement in his favor is rapidly erystalizlng.

There might not be enough warm, dry weather to put them in condition again this season. They have stood the wear of tho long summer and fall play remarkably well and are in almost as good condition as they were at tho beginning of Inst spring. John Mackey visited his stock farm today and returned to Sacramento this afternoon.

His arrangements for shipping the horses from the Haggin farm to New York are about complete and tho flrst train will start not later than Tuesday, the 2lst Instant. Four special trains will be required to transport the 600 head of horses. Mr. Mackey expects to be gone about month. Flve men In charge of 20 head of mules, wagons and other Implements belonging to Hartley of Solano county, passed through Woodland Tuesday, en route to Marysville, to engage in contract work for the Western Pacific.

In this Instance, nt least, there is no doubt as to who Is back of the enterprise, and wo do not believe the Western Pacinc is working under cover anywhere. is probable that Mrs. A.J. Thomas and children will remain In Woodland for several months in order to take advantage of the schools. Mr.

Thomas will make a trip to Oregon before returning to their home near Spokane. The family left Yolo county about five years ago. They are well pleased with Washington. It will be remembered that Mr. Thomas served as- deputy under Assessor Chftmbevlin.

For the fourth consecutive year Colusa county took the banner from the Teachers' Association of Northern California for the best of attendance at the meeting. There are 61 teachers of Of these the four in Pierce Joint Union High School District and the one in Wildwood district are entitled to go to Yolo county institute and they chose to do so this Colusa County Herald. Kathryn Simmons' paper ou which was published in the 'Democrat" several months ago a on the Program for the meeting rtlie district ot the Federation of Women's Clubs, held in Sacramento last Friday, but Miss Simmons was unable to be present owing to school duties. The paper is of so ranch merit that Miss Simmons has had frequent Invitations to read it elsewhere -f-M- -The many Woodland friends or Poffenberger are curious to know why lie stops at BImira when his destination is Napa.

That's At the Manhattan. For the flrst time In the history ot the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, every policy-holder will be permitted to vote for members of the board of directors. Thanks for this privilege are due to the efforts of a few trustees like Hon Grover Cleveland, The Woodland policy-holders had their choice between Mr. Cleveland and Tom Lawson and Mr. Cleveland holds the proxy of every one of them.

We would like to impress upon our readers the necessity for pulling together in all public improvements. AH of Woodland Is better than tho best part of many other towns. Any par! of it is good enough for a home. Let's nil pull together, not for any particular portion of Woodland, but for all of it. Someone has said that a good motto would bo "Boost, and we'll boost with you; knock, and you knock nlone." Charles Simpson's second visit to Woodland with a big: load of as fine- flavored apples as were ever offered In the Woodland market served to revive the talk about Yolo county's apple belt.

These apples are the product of his orchard on the mountains near Gnintia. Those who purchased of the flrst lot hunted up Mr. Simpson when lie came the second time and the fruit quickly sold without much effort on his part It Is strange that tennis, by Jong odds the sanest of school athletics, Is not more encouraged by parents and teachers. It is not only a healthful recreation, bringing every muscle into moderate exercise, hut it la absolutely dee from any of the risks incurred by those who engage in tho rough and tumble of football. A little investigation will convince parents aud leachers that the encouragement of this sport is entirely worth while.

Mrs. Stella Chase-Alnsworth, who Is starring with a New York company in the East, has written to her sister, Mrs. N. A. Hawkins, that she will visit California next February aad probably remain in Woodland about She will also visit British Columbia before resuming her theat- I'ical engagement.

No doubt Mrs. Alnswortli will be the central flgure lu many receptions and entertainments during her visit In Woodland, Chico papers think that as the normal town has two of the three football teams left in the running for the championship of the S. V. I. A.

Chico ought to win. This Is the way we reason it out: Woodland and Sacramento teams played each other to a standstill. In tho Woodland and Chico normal game Woodland would have won but for an accident. Auburn beat Sacramento without much effort. Now liow can Chico flgure it out that one or her teams has a dream of a shadow of a ghost of chance of winning? HERB W.

Rosenberg SUCCESSORS TO MICHAEL The time Is coming when the dodo itself will not be more extinct than the old-time country schoolhouse at every crossroads. The introduction of electric railways in the east has resulted in fewer but larger scboolhouses, hotter equipped and centrally located.

The same agency will revolutionize both the farm lite and tho rural school buildings In Yolo county. The cost will not be Increased and tho result will be much better. The country children will have better facilities, better courses of study and better physical, mental and moral training. The high school basketball team should keep up a diligent practice and if possible arrange at least two more exhibition games, to be played In this city, before playing in the finals for the championship with the winner of tho Colusa-Chico game. Both the Chico aud Colusa teams are strong anil have the.

advantage in experience and, practice, but we believe that the Woodland team has a splendid chance for championship honors it It continues to tm- provo aa It haa In the past two or three weeks. Wo suggest that If any more exhibition games are arranged that they he played in new armory hall and at night That will Insure a big attendance and help to swell the team's treasury. Readers of the "Democrat" will remember that Miss Eliza Stephens then a resident of Woodland, married William R. Bollard In 1884. Seven years later and after tour children were born to them, Ballard bid his wife good-bye, saying he was going to San Francisco, but he never returned.

Enquiry elicited the information that he obtained a pass for New Orleans. March 3, 1304, Mrs. Ballard obtained a final decree of divorce and on tho 20th ot the following May married James Gllmore in Oakland. Bal- iara has been heard from. He wrote to County Clerk Cook recently, enquiring if his former wife had been divorced and had remarried.

Ballard evidently wants to marry again, ns he enquired If ho Is free. THE CAPAY STAGE. Beginning November 14th, the Capay stage will run on Tuesday, Thursday nud Saturday. Stage arrives In Woodland 10 n. Departs at 2:30 n.

There was quite a large sum of money in the saloon which the burglar failed to find. He also took two or three bottles of liquor.

Dr. R. N. Countee. a noted negro minister, lectured to an audience that filled every seat In the Second Baptist church Tuesday evening.

His subject was 'The Progress and Development of the American Negro." He quoted statistics to show that the negro haa made the greatest progress of any known race during forty-two years of freedom. The 12,000,000 negroes have accumulated property valued at S900- 000,000. He talked much along the same lines followed by Booker Waah- ngton. He declared that the negro loves the south and there he Is admitted to every trade and profession. He urged the negroes to be frugal and Industrious and to identify themselves with the development and prosperity ot the country.

The lecture was very interesting anil was given the closest attention. When you want a pleasant physio try Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
