Kalschstan, a junk-peddler, living in Fruitvale, has been missing from hgome for seven weeks past. The case was re- ported to the police the next day, but for some reason they did not see fit to tell any of the newspapers. The fact only became known when his wife lprnled for aid to keep herseif and five little children from starving. No ciew has yet been had to his whereabouts. The police -take no in- terest whatever in the case. They have had toeir hands full looking up cases of missing men and women of late.

They will be taken to OARLAND OFFICE S8aN FrANcIsco CALrn, 908 Broadway, July 10. } Members of the old school of medicine declare that in a few days Mayor Davie will be revenged for the chagrin of a year ago when his lady appointee on the Board of Health refused to vote for his Honor’s candidate for secretary of the board. Should such be true, it means the dis- Masonic Temple. The services will be | ger the auspices of the Oakland Lodge, | F. and A. M. For a Thrashing.

Dr. Sarah L Shuey, President of the Board of Health, Who May Be Unseated by Members of Her Own School on Account of Politics. omfiture of a lady—Dr. Sarah Shuey, president of the board. Tt means that she will be deposed from her position of honor, for such is the only manner in which the affair of a year ago can be offset. Last week the Board of Health, by the aid of the homeopathic members recently appointed by the Mayor, summarily dis- missed the allopathic Health Officer and appointed one of their own school. At their next meeting other heads will fall, and it is expected that the secretary, Paul Bchaffer, will be succeeded by ex-Harbor Commissioner C. O. Alexander, who has been favored by the Mayor, and who would have been elected long ago but for the negative vote of Dr. Shuey. It has always been supposed that Dr. Sarah Shuey was appointed by Mayor Davie for the express purpose of bringing about a change in the secretaryship. Such is not the case, and according to the story of one of the Mayor's closest friends the lady doctor owed her sppointment to the labor orator, Eugene Houngh, who has since located in the East. Hough was one of the best informed and most effective speakers in Oakland and made the campaign that resulted in the election of Davie. After the election Davie asked Hough what he could do for him, “I want nothing,” said Hough. *“it would destroy my usefulness if I took any municipal appointment. However, I want a place for my friend Thurman. He is worthy, has a family and has poor health.” Davie agreed to do all he counld for Thurmen and the secretaryship of the Board of Health was decided upon. Hough agreed to find a doctor who was bigh in the profession and who was favor- able to Thurman. He found Dr. SBhuey and the Mayor appointed her. When the time came Dr. Shuey considered that the best interests of the office would be sub- served by retaining Paul Schaffer. Thur- man was elected for two weeks, but Schaffer was put back. Then it was reported that the Mayor and the doctor were enemies from I ence- forth. The story had no foundation in fact, but was repeated so often that it seemed at last as if the principals be- lieved it. Just before the allopaths wani out of office a month ago they eppointed Dr. Shuey president and she still holds the office. She is also an allopath, 5o that the other three members of the board, whoare of the tame school, must choose between their fealty to their profession, their gal- lantry to a lady and their loyalty to the Mayor. “This mntw;(possesles no interest for me,"” said the Mayor to-day. ‘It isa mis. take to suppose that I am dictating the volicy of the Board of Health. I believe all the members are able physicians and quite capable of managing the affairs of the department. If Dr. Shuey be deposed as presiGent it certainly will not be through any influence of inive.” POPULISTS PLEASED. Hope Bryan May Be Indorsed by the St. Louis Conven- tion. OAKLAND, Cax, July 10.—Many of the Populists of this city have expressed their approbation of the Democrats’ work in nominating Bryan to-day. One of the delegates to their National Convention in 8t.

C. Bernard one. . . Thefirst and last parties were exam- ined and their cases were taken under ad- v,isemenl, while Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock was set for hearing the testimony in the cases of the water company. Mr. Letter owns property on the corner of Eleventh and Clay streets which is mort- gaged for $7500. e swore that last year he paid tuxes on $6200. He sold two of his houses since. He believed that if the property was to be sold to-day it would not bring more than $6500. Assessor Dal- ton testified that he thought the property assessed properly, and the case went over. J. H. T. Watkinson, agent and acting for the water company, said the franchise of his company is a right 1n common ana open to all persons and corporations under the constitution of this State and is being used and exercised by other corporations and persons in the city of Oakiand and is not at all assessable, and is not of any tangible value and did not exceed in value $1000, if anything. He asks that the as- sessments on the franchises in Oakland, which are placed at $150,000 by the As- sessor, be stricken from the roll or placed at $1000; in Oakland Township, assessed at $25,000, reduced to $500 or be stricken from the roll; Eden Towns ip, sassessed at $25,- 00C, reduce to $500 or nothing; Brooklyn Township, assessed at $5000, reduce to $500 or nothing.

He stated that be un- derstood ail of the banks were coming in to fight their assessments, and if such was the case they would be competled to have more time. “He said the board would meet Mondn;, and then adjourn for a month, and if this reqdest were not made now it would be too late to make it. Assessor Dalton asked permission to ad- dress the board at this point and sai “It seems to me it isnot right to anticipate Dr. Eric Lewis, the Soudanese Traveler, in the Garb Presented to Him by a Noted Sheikh. arriv-d to-day and has promised to deliver two lectures on Soudan and the Soudanese. One of these will be at the Y. M. C. A. Hall Sunday afternoon and the other at the Firsy Christian Church on Sunday evening. Dr. Lewis has just completed two years of travel in the Soudan and adjacent countries and has compiled a mass of in- teresting data relating to that country. He has studiea the people, their country and tbeir manners, and is well posted on the Egyptian question, which is now puzzling the powers of Europe. “I have paid particular attention to the differences of opinion that exist regarding the Soudanese,” said Dr. Lewis, “and I have come to the conclusion that they cannot be controlled by any foreign power any more than a leopard can change its spots, “The diplomats of Emope do not under- stand the Soudanese nature, and until they do, the reports of guerrilla warfare events such as the death of General Gordon must be expected. They area hospitable people, and are no more ad- vanced in what we call civilization than they were a thousand years ago. They are not a cruel race, as some of the reports published make it appear. When an out- rage is committed it is made to appear as bad as possible, and as most of the dis- siminators of news froni that country are English, nothing is said of the circum- stances which wrought the outrage. “Soudan is not a country rich in natural resources. There is not much to develop and the Soudanese are as nomadic as they ever were. It isan impossibility to adapt them to western methods of life and gov- ernment and the sooner this is realized the sooner the periodical loss of life through intermittent warfare will cease. That country bhas cost Great Britaina mine of money, and as a matter of fact she is not any nearer to reducing it to sub- jection than when General Gordon’s life was sacrificed nearls twenty years ago.” ‘When lecturing Dr. Lewis wears a Sou- denese garb that was presented to him by a noted sheikh, who was highly interested in the traveler. It consists of a large flow- ing robe, a turban and an enormous hat, but it cannot be said that it is picturesque to & western eye. It is just a little less attractive than mers. He has made America his home for many years and is a foreeful platform peaker. & 5 WHTER COMPANY PROTES] Contra Costa Corporation Objects to Its Franchise Assess- - ments. The Board of Equalization Asks for ‘an Extension of Time Over Dalton’s Objsctions. OaxzAND OrrIcE AN Francisco CALy, 908 Broadway, July 10, " The Board of Equalizaticn met tnis morning, and were greeted with six appli- cations for reductions of assessments. James Letter filed one, the Contra Costa what is going to be and ask for more time. If you ask for an extension of time and it is granted the people are going to wait until the eleventh Lour before they come here. That is what they did last year. I think it will only unnecessarily delay mat- ters.” Supervisor Talcott seconded the motion, after which Mr. Church added: “Itis not a question of anticipation on our part, but the people have anticipated something. They have called a mass-meeting for Mon- day night in the Exposition building.” 'he motion was carried, with only Su- pervisor Pelouze voting no. A Mysterious Blaze. « TEMESCAL, CaL., July 10.—A barn on the Hart place, near Mr. Ainsworth’s resi- dence, was burned at an early hour this morning.

At the time of the explosion there was about 100 pounds of steam on. The inspector was running cold water into the boiler, and the explosion may have resulted from a lack of water in the boiler.
