Pardee, there was gathered around the most truly representative body of people, both men and women, that the Masonic Hall ever accommodated. The ceremony was carried out with all the mystic and suggestively Lbeautiful rites of the Masonic order. Alameda Chapter, R. A. M., and Oakland Com- mandery, K. T., were present but large as was the number it constituted but a small portion of the vast crowd that as- sembled to take the last look at the man who has figured so prominently in this community for forty years. In the dimly lighted chamber the Sir Knights stood around the casket wuile Worshipful Master Gilbert Daniels gave the word to the quartet and *‘Our Days Are-as a Shadow” was expressively sung. Rev. Dr. McLeen spoke of his personal knowledge of the value of the deceased in t is city. *‘He has beer a shaper and de- veloper of the city of Oakland for more than a quarter of a century. In the eariy part of his life he aided materially to build the city. There can be no more attractive life than to have a share in the building of | acity. While a Counciiman his integrity, honesty and fearlessness asseried them- selves, and during bhis terms of office as Mayor his influence was all directed toward improvement. He was lterally an opener of blinu eyes, the bringer back of sight to many who haa lost inis price- | less boon of sight to the afflicted.”” N. W.

Davie Spraks From Experisnce Re- garding Wild Oats and Foxtails in Cows’ Throats. OAKLAND. CaL., Sept. 24.—The or- dinance providing for a tuberculin test of all dairy cattle was vetoed by Mayor Davie to-day, who said in his message to the Council: “I did not fully believe in the test and was not convinced by any means by the post-mortem held on Dr. Wheeler’s cow. Foxtails and wild oat heads will cause the same throat trouble which was found in the victim for autopsy. I know this from practical experience. g “If this test law is nece:snrr it should be enacted by the State Leglislature, and to post;one it until next winter will cause but little if any harm. “By having the State act'the City would probably avoid all expense fqr 2 commis- sion should it be appointed to make the test. The dairymen will surely complamn if the law is enacted, and suits for damages will be the resuit. It is just as well to have them brought against the State as to bave Oakland the party de- fendant.”” FAVOR GOOD ROADS. Assoclation in Alameda County Learns How to Sprinkle at Slight Expense. OAKLAND, Car., Sept. 24.—The an- nnal meeting of the Good Roads Asso- ciation of Alameda County was -held at the Reliance Athletic Club rooms last night, and it pledged its hearty support to the Bupervisorial candidates who will an- nounce themselves in sympathy with the good-roads movement and promise, if eiected, to use their best efforts to secure reforms propo<ed by the State Bureau of Highway Commissioners. . ‘he annual election resulted in the se- Jection ot E.

The annourcement was made of adis- covery in road sprinkling. It was that sprinkiing with a solution of chloride of cacium will make a crust which will not dry out, so that two or three sprink- Jngs & month.are as good as daily sprinklings with ordinary water. ———————— BRI N’ ' STATE, ss Firm Is to Be Allowed to T Run Two Years.

Furtalo against Manuel Azeredo and wife requiring them to pro- duce the child in covrt. The attorney for Azeredo claimed the child was not restrained, but remained with the family out ot choice. The court refused to act on this showing. The Bociety for Prevention of Cruelty to Ci dren, however, hela that there was an effort being made to get the child out of the jurisdiction of the court and marry ber to this man, who was paying the family to get her for him. On this they held it was a case in which the court should interfere. The matter went over until October 5. ————— A Big Eallroad Transfer. OAKLAND, CaL, Sept. 24 —F. M.

There were long faces yesterday in the headquarters of the Democrats and the People’s party when it was learned that George W.

The stand taken at the con- vention by Senator Earl in the interest of Charles Mautalen of the Sixth Ward has complicated matters, as Earl was most decidedly an anti-Mautalen man ail through the past two years, during which time Mautalen has been chairman of the County Committee. It was made known to-day that whole- sale changes in the County Committee were contemplated, but they were blocked by J. W. Evans of the Seventb Ward, It was proposed to put in the committee William G. Henshaw of the Seventh, Vic- tor H, Metcal! of the Fifth and W. H. Coickering of the Third. These men would have been a tower of strength to the committee, as all are iufluential snc- cessful business men of suca financial standing that under no circumstances would politics be anything but a second- ary consideration to them, not one of them - ever h-vini shown a desire for office. This plan, however, was prevented by Mr. Evans, who said: “I am anxious to succeed myself on the committee. I have taken a definite stand during the past two years, and I want to have an- other term as an indorsement, if nothing else, of my past record.” Evans was elected from the Seventh and tie changes were not made. When the convention by a narrow majority refused to indorse Chairman Mautalen there was every apperrance of a deadlock, and Senator Earl came to the rescue. £ “Something had to be done,” said the Senator, to-day, “‘and I feared that ifthe Sixtn Ward’s choice was notindorsed they would bolt the convention. That would have complicated matters very seriously, and would have resulted in two years more of quarreling, such as we have had in the past. At this time there is more harmony in the Republican party in this county than we have had fora long time, and I did not want to see anybody walk ont of the convention. Concessions had been made from all parties, and it would heve been very foolish to have ended 1n an uproar. I have been roundly sbused for my speech which harmonized the conven- tion, but that is ihe fate of a man who goes to a convention, i F. J. Fletta, Town Trustee of Alameda, and J. W. Evans are the candidates of the new County Committee, which meets on Saturday.

The placing of Mr. Monteith’s name on the ticket as the candidate of the People’s party, speaking through the Congressional District Convention, will ablige the Secre- tary of State .to place Mr. Cutler’s name on the ticket as a Democrat only, instead of as a Democrat and Populist, as the managers of the fusion job intended, be- cause the election law provides that two candidates cannot be nominated by the same political party for the same office. Mr. Monteith did not secure his certifi- cate without considerable trouble, the Democratic and Populist jobbers having resorted to almost every expedient to keep itfrom him. Wednesday was the last day allowed by law for the filing of certificates of candi- dates whose nominations by party con- ventions have to be certified to the Secre- tary of State. Chairman Alford of the Democratic State Central Committee personally at- tended to the filing of the certifi- cates of his party. e also filed the resignation of Candida ddux, the nominee of the Democracy for Congress from the Seventh District. Mr. Maddux had been very determined not to be re- moved by the fusion managers and posed for a time as a man standing on principle, bat he was evidently cajoled or whipped inte line, for he came off his tall horse and obediently swailowed the party pro- gramme. . This leaves Messrs. Monteith, Mec- Glashan and Kelly alone standing out. Mr. Kelly had his certificate on file some time ago and McGlashan’s came in late last week, but Monteith’s had not ap- ared and Chairman Alford smiled a nowing smile as his attention was called to the absence of Monteith's document. Monteith hud been apprised of the at- tempt to keep his name off the ticket, and he quietly slipped away from town last Monday night and dropped in_ on the enemy at Redding early on Tuesday .| morning. It was necessary that his cer- tificate of nomination should be -lged by Joseph Beil, chairman, and John C. Mur- hy, secretary, of the First Congressional istrict Convention, and both those gen- tlemen reside in Shasta County. When Monteith boarded the train last Monday night he found Chairman Alford among his fellow-passengers. ‘Alford was easily thrown off the track and Monteith was enabled to reach Redding without attracting the attention of the enemy. He _found Mr. Bell home sick in bed and Mr. Bell executed the instrument. There was no Notary Public in the neigh- borhood and.the nearest Justice of the Peace was ci opping wood seven or eight miles away in the direction of Mount Shasta. onteith tramped through the chaparral and .manzanita brush, stepped accidentally upon a rattlesnake and crashed the life out of it, relieved the rrv spiring Judge of hisaxand brought him to Judge Bell’s house, where the certifi- cate was_duiy acknowledged.

Mr. Cator and those whom he controls in the State Commit- tee have gone into a plan by which the Popu- lists gave up every Senatorial district in the State at this election, when they could have carried six or seven, and this makes it impos- sible to have a Populist Legislature for at least four years. In addition to this the principies of Popu- 1ism are naturaily opposed 10 permitting cow- mittees to override or usurp functions of rep- Tesentative conveniions of the people; and while it is the privilege of a candiddte to vol- untarily withdraw any attempt to force him 10 do £o in the absence of specific charges is not only outrageous and indecent but isop- posed 10 every principle for which tne Populist party exists. There is not the slightest question as to the trade between White and Cator. I'baveiton the best of authority—from the lips of Thomas V. Cator himself. Populists are very much opposed to. the idea of giving up the entire State Senate. We could have elected a Sena- tor in a number of districts, and then in two yearswe would stand in s good position to elect a Peonle’s party Legisluture. While we are anxious to elect & Populist United States Senator there is a greatdeai of important leg- istation that the Populists hope to accomplisn for them to elee: the State Government iwo years from now. But by lessening the chances of electing a fow members now it will be four years before they can hope to control tne Sen- ate. Thus, by reason of Cator's selfish ambi- tion a greatdeal of injury can be doneto the interests of the party. v Considerable indignation exists among Populists in the First District regarding the conduct of Chairman Wardall and Secratary Bush., They say that Wardall draws a salary of $100 per month, which isa big salary for him, for supporiing Populist candidates, and that he is spend- ing the income of the First Congressional District in supporting Cutler, the Demo- cratic candidate. Moriteith’s friends say that Bush draws down $75 per month in gold at 32 to 1, the same kind of coin in which Mr. Wardall is paid, and that one of Mr. Bus.’s multi- farious duties is to get the Couniy Com- mittee to pay for Cutler’s hail rent. This leaves nothing to pay for Monteith's hall rent. The Populists of the district are assessed 20 cents apiece for the purpose of furnish- ing the Siate committee with funds to support the candidates of the party, yet the maney is used for Democrats. One or two counties in the district have declared that they will not send any more money to the State committee to be spent on Demogratic candidates. The only thing the Popalists of that district have to fight for now is the Congressman, and they don’t propose to have their hard-earned silver und gold dollars used in assisting the enemy under the cloak of fusion. One hundred honest doliars per month seem to most Populists to be a princely salary, much more than the average farm earns, and they do not-see why this money should be expended on Democrats whiie the Democrats have a State Central Com- mittee and a fund of their own. INDEPENDENT CITIZENS Five Assemblymen and One Sen- ator Added to the List of Nominees. Supervisors. and School Directors Will Be Selected at To-Night's Session. The Citizens’ Independent Convention held a long session last night. Chairman Fitch was kep. busy in hold- ing down the enthusiastic delegates who ‘were eager to have their favorite nominees placed on the ticket, while the secretary, W. D. Kingsbury, was also kept busy tak- ing notes of the numerous motions and counter-motions made by the delegates. The question of selecting Supervisors from the numerous names suggested has kept the convention somewhat backin the other work before it. After an hour's debate as to the proper course to pursue in selecting twelve men out of the thirty-six submitted, it was finally agreed that the committee take to- day in pruning the list and presenting to the convention to-night a safficient num- ber of the best for final ratification. The same course will be pursued with regard to the School Directors. In addition to the names already pub- lishea in THE CALL, the following Assem- blymen were nominated last night: Twenty-ninth District—E. J. Thomas, 183 Perry street. Thirty-fifth District — C. L. Hedemark, Twenty-second and Valencia streets. Thirty-sixth District—M. W. Littlefield, 7 Beaver street. Thirty-nintn District—Dr. F. M. Tuley, 31 Fell street. Forty-third District—W. E.
