with a repertoire of everything that is
good in their, line • and the best way of
doing it whiles away a too short min
ute to the nightly. delight of "the'Orpheum
crowds. Mignonette Kokin is a fetching
little dancer and Francis Le Page, John
Geiger, Monroe, Mack and Lawrence, De
Courcy Brothers, Thomas Baker, Joe,
Myra and Buster. Keaton and the) blo
graph complete the attractive bill.
Next week the Alcazar will put on
"Tennessee's Pardner," with Agnes Ran
kin in the principal role.
The Central has this week a good per
formance of "The Cotton King," the big
industrial melodrama. The mechanical
effects, in. the great "cotton mill scene"
are surprisingly realistic and "throughout
the performance is a satisfactory one;
Next week the attraction will be "The
Great Northwest."
"A Female Drummer" is doing rather
dull business at the California Theater
this week. It owes what merit it has to
the efforts of Johnstone Bennett, who as
sumes the leading role.
The California's next attraction will be
"Sporting Life," beginning Sunday nigh^.
The big scenic production comes here di
rect from extended runs in New York and
Chicago, and among the many sensational
features of the piece is a horse race and
a realistic prizefight. Lillian Lamson,
sister of Nance O'Neil, is the leading lady
of the company.
with Walter E. Perkins at the head of
things. Perkins is naturally funny and
he has a role in "The Man From Mexico"
that suits him. One looks and laughs and
that's the end of it. Mr. Perkins is well
supported by the Grand Opera-house stock
company, particularly by Miss Laura Nel
son Hall as. Clementina Fitzhugh. There,
are more laughs coming next week when
"My Friend From India" will be the bill.

Deputy Fish Commissioner M. H. Cross
brought a large consignment of black bass
to this city yesterday, which will be sent
to the Hawaiian Islands on the Sonoma.
It has been determined by thorough . in
vestigation that this species of bass can
be propagated in the streams on the Is
lands.
Send Black Bass to Hawaii.
In conclusion permit me to say that the crime
for whltfh ; these men stand - Indicted ' is the
blackest that has ever been committed in the
history of this State; that, notwithstanding all
the discouraging facts hereinbefore mentioned,
I am nevertheless keenly sensible that the honor
of both the State of California as. well as that
of Modoc County is involved In this prosecution;
and that I Intend to prosecute these defendants
with all the vigor and energy at my command;
and, to that end, I hereby direct you to proceed
with the arraignment of Defendants Leventon,
Brown and Kades, and to have their trial set
for Monday, . the eleventh day • of November,
1301, or as soon thereafter as may be, having
the cases so set that the defendant Brown will
be first trled^ \u25a0_' .
I am aware that certain newspapers in your
county have seen fit to disparage the prosecu
tion in this case, and have referred to my ef
forts and those -of my subordinates therein in
an unfair and apparently malignant spirit.
I am also aware that- you were present with
my representatives at. the examination of the
lynching cases by your Grand Jury, and I am
Informed by my representatives that you and
they were agreed that the evidence, there ad
duced, warranted the indictment of Leventon,
Brown and Eades, and tbat you and my repre
sentatives were fully convinced of the guilt of
the men indicted: an<J; as you "have not as
signed a belief In the innocence of the" Indicted
men as one of your reasons for desiring to dis
miss these cases, I am warranted m assuming
that you still believe, as do my representatives,
that the indicted men are unquestionably guilty.
Denounces the Crime.
As you are aware, I sent two of my deputies,
Messrs. Post and Sturtevant, to your county to
assist you at the examination of the lynching
matter by your Grand Jury, the result of which
was the Indictment of the defendants— Brown,
Leventon and Eades.. I subsequently sent Mr.
Sturtevant again to your county to assist you
in certain matters incident to the case that
came up : before your Superior Court, includ
ing the arraignment of .these defendants. I have
spent several hundreds of dollars of the funds
of this office in an endeavor to aid you in en
forcing the law. ' .
I am aware that the Supervisors of your coun
ty have rejected the claim of the shorthand re
porter who took down the testimony given be
fore the Grand Jury after having been advised
by this office that the claim was a legal charge
and should be t>aldt
I am aware that a brass band went to 'your
County Jail and - serenaded the Indicted men.
'The Attorney General at once sent a
telegram in reply, ordering the arraign
ment and trial of the defendants. Brown,
Leventon and Eades. A - letter was also
mailed to Mr. Bonner. It is in part as
follows:
I will not attempt to express my utter sur
prise at the astounding contents of your com
munication. That Modoc County Is willing to
rest under, the awful and shameful stigma of
the Lookout lynching I do not believe, nor can
I reconcile the sentiment and suggestions of
your communication with the official duties of
a District Attorney.. \u25a0 _ . .
Attorney - General , Indignant.
Please advise me at once In the matter as to
your wishes. These defendants have been held
practically in. solitary confinement for nearly
five months and the county sympathy is very
strong. • • . ." . " ' - : .-. _, . V ,
I arrived home ! yesterday afternoon to find
that petitions for dismissal are being signed by
leading citizens all over the county, irrespective
of political lines or geographical. My candid
judgment is the entire county desires It. I hon
estly consider further prosecution entirely use
less of these defendants. Even the Grand Jury
Itself or a majority have expressed a desire for
dismissal of the cases. Unless you can give me
strong additional evidence I will consider It my
duty to move dismissal of these cases. I think
you and the rest of us can at this late day dis
miss with perfect propriety to all concerned.
I do not feel disposed to continue these mat
ters. • . ' . ' "
The astounding Information that the
people and officials of Modoc County de
sire to dismiss the charges against the
three Lookout! lynching suspects, now iu
confinement at Alturas, was conveyed '.o
the Attorney General yesterday through
a communication to Deputy C. E. Post
from the District ' Attorney of Modoc
County, -who also states that ho himself
thinks the matter should be dropped,-»The
Attorney General has replied with a let
ter which expresses in plain terms his
opinion of the District Attorney and all
others who adhere to the same view.

OLD OIL RATE
IS RESTORED
Re-established Pending
Rehearing" of the
Case.
The- Railroad called . a
special meeting yesterday to consider the
petlilon of the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe • railroad companies for , a re
hearing of the Bakersfleld . oil-rate • case.
Commissioner B. B. Edson was J In • the
chair and Blackstock was also present.
Laumelster did not attend, the meeting.
Edson opened the meeting by stating
that the two railroad' companies ; -had pe
titioned for a lehearinu of -the case. He
read the' Southern Pacific Company's ar
gument for a new trial, and at its close
Etated that he thought that enough evi
dence, had not been submitted In the caae
and that he was in favor of rehearing.
Commissioner Blackstock seconded the
motion and offered a resolution to theef
fest that pending the rehearing of tho
case the new rate of 37 8-10 cents, ordere.1
by the Commissioners for transportation
of oil from Bakersfleld to San Francisco,
be discontinued and that the old rate of
42 cents be restored.'
This motion was carried and Chairman
Edson ordered that the rehearing -of the
case be set for November 12.
This action on the part of the Commis
sioners created great surprise. - It . was
thought that when the board made the?
recent order reducing the price of thij
transportation of oil it would be agreeable
to all parties concerned. •

has some attractive numbers.
The Grand Opera-house has a winner
this week in "The Man From Mexico,"
but Mary Kelty as Agnes and Estelle
Carter as Mrs. Van Alstyne are both good
In their respective roles. Mrs. Sarah
Cowell Le Moyne, in the new historical
play, "The First Duchess of Marl
borough," will follow.
" "The Henrietta" at the Columbia, In the
competent hands of Stuart Robson~and
his company, is delighting good audiences
every evening. A more finished and satis
fying conception than that of Mr. Robson
as Bertie the Lamb would be difficult to
imagine and. Maclyn Arbuckle's Old Nick
Is almost equally picturesque. Of the
feminine members of the company Miss
Dorothy Rossmore as the fascinating
widow, Mrs. .Opdyke, is most pleasing,
at the popular house. The opera
is excellently cast, and went with spirit
and considerable smoothness. For the
first time this season Montanari is heard
in a role that fully suits her, the grace
ful and pathetic little figure of the Paris-
Ian grisette, Miml, and she is wholly sym
pathetic and pleasing In the part. Agos
tlni is a splendid Rudolph, singing mag
nificently and acting with ardor and truth.
His duet with Montanari in the first scene
was exquisite, Repetto Is a dainty Mu
setta. playing and singing her part with
grace and spirit. The Bohemian trio,
Schaunard, Marcel and Colline, are re
spectively sang by Zani, who does effect
ive work, as the hungry musician: Fer
rari, whose Marcel is conceived in a clever
comedy spirit, and Dado, whose fine
basso was invaluable in Colline's part.
Dado was encored enthusiastically in the
pathetic song to his old coat. Cortesi does
very good work— he has been a useful
member of the company this season— In
the usual double role of Benoit, the hard
hearted landlord, and Alcindoro. - The
opera is admirably staged and costumed,
and barring longish waits between acts
goes easily and smoothly. It is a little
boisterous in places, but will doubtless
tone down with further presentments.
"La Boheme" goes again to-night and
"Norma," with Avedano, Barbareschi,
Pollettini and Dado, comes to-morrow.

night to its capacity for the in

CHANGE IN WEATHER
3Iore Bain predicted for To-Day and
Commercial Interests Warned of
Severe Storms.
The perceptible change in the tempera
ture yeuterday from that of the previous
two days was due, according to the
Weather officials, to the advent of
the south" wind, which occurred Tuesday
night —
The first rain for three weeks cam© with
the wind and although San Francisco was
not affected to any -considerable extent,
the country to the north was treated to
a series of showers. Throughout Southern
California the weather was cloudy, with
Btrone "Kinds.
It Is predicted that the city will be vis
ited- wliij more rain to-day than yester
day, with perhaps a heavy downfall to

\u25a0were unable to perform work and they
were accordingly condemned.
Arrested for Cruelty.
Baron Alexander Kahlbahrs. the Rus
sian general who commanded the Czar's
troops in Manchuria, arrived from the
Orient on the steamship City of Peking
yesterday. He is en route to St. Peters
burg, but whether to be disciplined re
mains to be seen. It has been stated that
the famous order which was interpreted
In Manchuria to read: "Drive the Chinese
Into the Amur." in reality read: "Drive
the Chinese across the Amur,", and that
when the terrible news of the affair reach
ed the Czar's ears he was much dis
pleased. The general "gives no intimation
that he is on his way to St. Petersburg
to make any explanation to this effect
When the villagers were forced into the
river by the Cossacks it was estimated
that about 15,000 were drowned. The river
at places; was choked. Whole villages,
\u25a0vrith their thousands of citizens, were
wiped ofE the face of the earth, and not
one was left to tell the tale of Russian
cruelty. On the banks of the river every
house was razed with the exception of
tne 6tone and mud chimneys and a few
lempies.
General Kahlbars has been forty years
a soidler and looks a man whom nothing
would diiunt. Years ago he was appointed
Minister of War for Bulgaria for honor
able services. He was a member of the
Interns tonal Commission appointed in
1ST9 to fix the boundaries in the Balkans.
He entered the Kussian army in lfctil and
has participated in every war since that
time. His record is a brilliant one and
this fact caused the Czar to appoint him
to the supreme command of the Manchu
rian forces in August of last year. He was
then in Paris at the exposition. He re
ceived a telegram from the War Depart
ment to proceed with the utmost dispatch
to Manchuria. He lid so, going out over
the trajis-Siberlan Railway. General
ICah bahrs said yesterday:
I force 1 all the Chinese generals In Man
cfcsiria ti> surrender, together with all their
pien and arms. The last troops to surrender
Before I departed from Manchuria were 7000
n}en. I janlcipated In four expeditions against
the Chinese. I was In supreme command, and
forced the Chinese back Into the mountains.
The expelitlons were most difficult, and every
result was accomplished after great effort. No
carriages or wagons could be carried 'Into the
mountains, and It was only .by pushing the
Chinese backward that we finally brought them
to terms. The subjugation of the province is
complete, and It is entirely under the domina
tion of S.ussia at the present time.
This tisx opened the way for the trans-Si
berian railway to conEtruct Its road down
through the province to Port Arthur, riving
a rtretch of railroad tfrcm the Yellow Sea to
Moscow. At Port Arthur our Paeiac fleet is
mobilized. At Tallen Wan the commercial ship,
ping is gathered. I left Manchuria September
23. and will proceed by easy stages to St.

A SCIENTIFIC BREAKFAST.
Rightly selected food will cure more
than hsJf the diseases. Try a scientific
and healthy breakfast Fruit of some
kind, preferably cooked: a dish of Grape-
ICuts, with cream; two soft-boiled eggs.
Put two eggs in a tin pint cup of boiling
water, cover and set off for nine minutes
Whites will then be the consistency of
cream and most easily digested. One
slice of bread with butter; cup of Postum
Cereal irood Coffee.
On th.it breakfast you can work like a
horse and be perfectly nourished until
noon. Tour nervous troubles, heart pal-
pitation, Btomach and bowel troubles,
kidney complaints and various other dis-
orders will gradually disappear and firm
solid health will set in.
Why? You have probably been living
on poorly selected food, that is, food that
does not contain the required elements
the body "needs. That sort of food, and
coffee, :s the direct or Indirect cause* oC
more than half the ills the human body
acquires!.
Grape-Nuts is a perfectly cooked food
and both that and the Postum Food Coi-
tee contain flne microscopic particles oi
phosphate of potash obtained In a natural
way from the grains of the field and by
scientific food experts incorporated into
food and drink. That element Joins with
the albumen In food to make gray matter,
tfhich is the filling of the brain cells and
the nerve centers all over the huma?i
body.
A man or woman thus fed Is scientifical-
ly fed end rapidly grows In vigor and vi-
tality, £.nd becomes capable of conducting
Euccess:!ully the affairs of life. To pro-
duce a perfect body and a money-making
brain the body must have the right klnil
of food, and the expert food specialist
