GLOWING TRIBUTE
TO FOUNDERS OF
THE GOLDEN WEST
THE literary exercises in St. James
Park In the afternoon attracted sev
eral thousand people. A band con
cert was given by the Fifth Regiment
Band. After the parade many of the
visitors went to the park to rest and
await the exercises under the shade of the
trees. Lewis F. Byington, past grand
president, was the president of the day.
After being introduced he delivered the
following address, which was well re
ceived:
bon* and daughters of the Great West, we
gather here to honor the men, our fathers, who

with reminiscences of the pioneers, and to-day
throughout her broad domain the people gather
In city, upon mountain and plain, to marvel
at her achievements, and in strains of affec

sen-lees of her founders, but here In the early
capital of the State, rich in the traditions of
the Spanish and Mexican days, surrounded by
the most fruitful of valleys and circled by
vine-clad hills, with Institutions of learning
that are the pride of the nation, we glory in
our birthright and marvel at the magnincent
progress of the years.
We stand to-day at the gateway that sep

fires kindled on every hillside and by many a
mountain stream. The crystal waters that for
ages leaped pure and untrammeled from the
virgin snows are fretted by the wheels of the
busy miners or stained by the wash from the

PROMINENT PARLORS THAT TOOK AN ACTIVE PART IN THE FIT
TING CELEBRATION OF THE FIFTY-THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF
THE ADMISSION OF CALIFORNIA INTO THE UNION
sive that has ever been seen in the north
era part of the State. The uniformed
companies, militia, firemen and fraternal
orders all combined to give freshness and
cplrlt to the picture. The fire engines and
tastefully decorated hose carts; the fine
line of variously bedecked vehicles. In
cluding some very attractive automobiles,
and the beautiful and artistic floats gave
the parade a tone of grandeur. The pres
ence of the chief executive of the State,
bland and smiling, and interested In every
feature of the display, put every one on
the best terms with the entire celebration.
Everything was applauded and the whole
city was ilght hearted and gay. The pro
cession extended for more than a mile
and, with four bands, made an animated
and striking pageant. After the mile of
march had been covered, bringing the
tiead of the procession for a second time
on the main street, the Governor and his
staff, in their carriages, drew out beside
the City Park, between Fourth and Fifth
streets, and reviewed the paraders as
Uiey passed by in countermarch. As com
pany after company passed, each cheer
ing heartily, Governor Fardee responded
with cheers and salute, his face beaming
responsive goodfellowship.
After the procession had been disband
ed crowds Hocked to Armory Hall to
hear the Governor's address. He spoke
for a quarter of an hour eulogizing our
great State, dwelling upon the Incalcu
lable richness of its resources and
prophesying its empirical wealth in the
future. He quoted history to show the
westward trend of empire and said that
the future commercial metropolis of the
world must lie upon the Pacific. The
Governor's manner was easy and earnest
and his voice strong and clear.
In the afternoon the competitive hose
races took place on Broadway. Teams
from Red Bluff, Oroville and Chlco strove
for victory, which virtually meant the
championship of Northern California.
The runs themselves were intensely ex
citing, but some tedious waits Intervened
between them. Chico won the contest
In the very creditable time of 33 1 -; seconds.
Both the visiting teams were beaten by
the swift water, Oroville falling to get
the nozzle attached and Red Bluff fumbl
ing at the hydrant.
Following the hose race a balloon ascen
sion was scheduled to take place on the
campus of the State Normal School
grounds, but owing to the delay on the
part of the performers the frontier sham
battle was fought before the ascension
was made. It was an interesting- specta
cle. A four-horse stage coach driving un
der the heavy trees on the Bidwell ranch
was set upon by Indians, and a spirited
running fight took place, ending In a hand
to-hand encounter. One victim of the at
tack was hung from a rude pole and
made the central figure In a diabolical
scalp dance. Just as this barbarous di
version was at its height a company of
militia, commanded by Captain William
White, rushed to the rescue. The fight
which followed was extremely close and
hot. but, overpowered by number, the In
dians slunk back step by step, until they
disappeared in the heavy jungle on the
banks of Chico Creek.
After this came the balloon ascension,
but owing to the strength of the wind an
elevation of -only about 500 feet was at
tained, and the performer was afraid to
detach his parachute, but came down on
the southern side of the city with his bal
loon. A grand tall was given in the even
ing In Armory Hall, and a band concert
drew large crowds to the city park.
GRASS VALLEY, Sept.
sion day was celebrated here by
a picnic at Glenbrook Park. The
affair drew hundreds from all parts of
the county, both this place and Nevada
City being deserted for the day, the com
bined population turning out. to the pic

was closed for the day. > The celebration
was given under the auspices of the Cur

STRAW PAYROLL FRAUD
LEADS TO BIANY ARRESTS
Santa Pe Special Officers Unearth
Swindle That Involves a Num
ber of Employes.
SAN BERNARDINO. ,Sept 9.— The ar
rest of A. E. Eldrldge of Needles by
Santa Fe special offlcers a few days ago
proves to have been the beginning of an
effort to break up one of the most exten
sive attempts to swindle unearthed in the
history of railroading. Tne amount In
volved was not great, for, perhaps, it was
limited to $1300, but it is stated that at
least twenty employes are implicated in
the "straw payroll" system of which El
drldge was alleged to be the head. Al
ready five others are lodged here in Jail.
The pursuit of the guilty men is being
taken up eagerly by Sheriff Ralphs of
this county, and a large number of other
warrants are still out. although many
suspects took flight when they heard of
the arrest of some of the conspirators.
The system employed a man named
liutz, whose duty it was to find employes
who were willing to sign a voucher for a
full month when less than that amount
of work had been done, or for absolutely
bogus employes. Others under arrest in
clude Joseph Young, E. L. Marston and
William Dorsairt.
cf the celebration. The fireworks, hurrah
and din last night were only preliminary.
From the moment the parade started this
morning until the last special pulled out
of the depot at midnight with the visiting
parlors homeward bound there was no
cessation In the merriment. It was a
good-natured crowd.
In the afternoon there were literary ex
orcises in the park and they were well
attended. The work of entertaining was
Taken up by the parlor6 and at a dozen
different places there were "open houses"
and receptions, with music, dancing and
refreshments. The local parlors of Na
tive Sons and Daughters received at the
Native Sons' Hall, corner of Third and
San Fernando streets, and all afternoon
and evening there was a steady stream of
callers.
Dancing was indulged in and refresh
ments were served.
Rlncon Parlor. N. S. G. TV., and Orin
<2a Parlor, N. D. G. W., entertained In
Y. M. I. Hall. Dancing was enjoyed both
afternoon and evening and the place was
filled with puests. Mission Parlor had
its headquarters in Eagles" Hall and there
was no lack of hospitality and entertain
ment there. Pacific Parlor did honors at
the Hotfl St. James, and the members
entertained and amused a large number
of friends. Stanford Parlor had its head
quarters at the Hotel Vendome and lta
guests were loud in the praise of the
treatment they received. San Francisco
Parlor No. <9 was located in the Alcan
tara building. Alcalde and Alameda par
lors in Music Hall, El Capitan in Judge
Benson's courtroom. Twin Peaks In the
Auzerais building. California and Fre
mont parlors In Curtis Hall. South San
J-'rancisco Parlor in Elite Hall and AJca
traz Parlor in Library HalL All of these
parlors entertained their many friends.
The Pioneers and the sons and daugh
ters of Pioneers entertained at their head
quarters in the Oou Fellows' building.
A large number of visitors attended the
bicycle races and others went to Alum
Reck Park. This latter place was lighted
•with electric lights to-night and many
ppont the evening there.
The streets were crowded with natives
to-night and drum corps paraded, while
others of the celebrators Jingled cowbells.
There was a steady procession from one
headquarters to another. About 11 o'clock
the visitors began to depart for their
homes on the excursion trains.
STATE PIONEERS
TAKE PROMINENT
PART IN PARADE
ALMOST the entire population turn
ed out to witness the parade and
the whole county was well rep
resented by delegations. Notwithstand
ing the pressing work of handling the
fruit In the orchards, many hundreds
la!d aside their tasks for the day to join
in the celebration. It Is estimated that
from fifteen to twenty thousand visi
tors were in the city.
It was nearly 11:30 o'clock before the
big pageant started. At that time the
sidewalks along the line of march were
crowded, while hundreds viewed the par
ade from windows and porches of houses.
The line of march was from Third and
St. James streets west to Second street;
south on Second street to San Antonio
strict; west to First street; north on
First ctreet to Hobson street; counter
march south on First street to Santa
Clara street; west on Santa Clara street
to Market street; south on Market street
to San Fernando street.
The entire line of march was decorat
ed. At short intervals across the streets
were stretched lines of streamers and
flags, while each block displayed large
Bear and American flags. All the build
ings unfurled large American flags and
the business houses decorated with bunt
ing and flags. The line of march was one
solid fringe of people. Ladies and chil
dren In their summer suits, with the
waving banners and flags overhead,
formed fitting banks for the stream of
Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden
West to march through. .
The day was not too warm, although
about noon the sun beat down pretty
hard. The paradcrs were lightly dressed
and nearly every one carried a parasol,
so no great inconvenience was felt.
About twenty-five hundred Native Sons
and Daughters were in line. Two hun
dred pioneers preceded the natives and a
dozen Mexican veterans were In car
nages. The procession was fifty min
utes in passing a given point The Na
tive Daughters presented an especially
fine appearance and In their pretty suits
attracted attention all along the line of
march.
Chief of Police Carroll and a squad of
sixteen policemen preceded Grand Mar
shal W. E. Foley with Edward Younger

Sons* celebration here to-day was
a success In every sense of the
word. Four train* brought visitors from
all parts of the county and adjoining
counties. The parade was very elaborate
and all th» Native Sons la the county
participated, followed by two brass
bands, the Independence band of Mare
Island and the Parks band of Santa Rosa.
The Sonoma, firemen and other societies
took part. After the parade literary ex
ercises were held on the plaza. Henry

roundly cheered. One of the principal at
tractions of the day was a baseball
game between the Sonoma team and the
Bourbon Castle team of San Francisco.
The score was 13 to 8 In favor of the So
noma team. A ball was given in Union
Hall In the evening as a grand finale.
San Franciscans Observe Anniver
sary With Best and Recreation.
Admission day was observed very quiet
ly In San Francisco yesterday. The ma
jor portion of the people went to picnics,
the park and beach, the circus or other
places of amusement. At the Chutes in
the evening there was an excellent dis
play of fireworks, consisting for the most
part of set pieces of the patriotic type.
Shops, stores, offices and factories were
generally closed, and the wage-earners
were enabled to enjoy a day of leisure.
The streets were very quiet in every por
tion of the city, although, the cars travel-
Ing toward the ocean were crowded with
passengers far into the evening.
There was no attempt at any general
celebration of the anniversary anywhere
in town, although the cessation of busi
ness in memory of the important occa
sion when California was accorded state
hood must of necessity have its effect in
bringing to the minds of the people at
large the thought of this event, which 13

Pioneer Hall was crowded yesterday
afternoon and evening with pioneers and
their wives and daughters, the occasion
being 1 a reception and dance to commem

Aaron Van Dam, of (Kensington) 3549 iioth St.
Chicago. 111. " t could hardly wort; it felt like
a big weight hanging on me and got so bad that
I had to take medidne. I used Stomach Bitters
for • time, but it did no good so I wrote to Dr
R. V. Pierce for advice, which he gave me im-
mediately. I followed bis directions; nsed two
bottles of his medidne and was cured. I had a
torpid lhrer which waa troubling me instead of
cramp* (a* I thought), ao Dr. >ierc* told me.
I have pleasure in living now; have rained in
weight 15 pound* since then."
