BUCKLAND—I don’t think the Couneilmen are traitors to the people; I know they are. The action last night is clearly il- legal, as they took no trouble to investigate the cost of the water companies’ plants. They have no right to make a rate based on two plants more than on twenty. If they construct twenty water plants here, according to their view, the rates would be so high as to be prohibitive. I don't want to say what I think of such actions by our Council. It is very evident why one member resigned and some one else was appointed to the Council, after last night's work. . . YOEOOOOEOEOPOOOOO® (:)@)(-)( YOPOOPEOPEEE®® POLK GRAY—It's a rank rob- bery.

WEILBYE—Well, Ican't find language to express myself on such an occasion as this. ‘What is the matter with Thomas and Woodward? It looks very much like a put-up job. I can’t find words to express my con- tempt for such actions, and I don’t think tar and feathers are any too ‘good for such men. It is outrageous. I wondered what idea Thomas had in putting such amanas Woodwardintothe office, when there were so many substantial men in the city who have some interest in the city’s welfare, who could have been se- cured to take the place.

Already the taxes are too high and the water rates heretofore have been excessive, The result is, that people will not Invest in Oakiand and many of those who are here will want to get away. This is the natural result of the system. The people should own their own water works and other public utilities and then there would be an in- come to the city from such sources, and it would remove one of the chief causes of cor- ruption.

OAKLAND, Feb. 22.—Benjai convicted of' shooting his sin lo'an‘rlx]e streets of this city one night about a year ago, was brought to the County Jail this afternoon from San Quentin, where he has been confined for the past five months or more.

Was Near Death From Acute Spasms When Relief Came. Charles Elliott Was Induced to Take Generously of Wormwood Mixture. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 22. Charles E. Elliott was seriously pois- oned last evening through taking some medicine that had been given him by a traveling quack doctor. s For some.time Elliott has been suf- fering from dyspepsia, and about a week ago he was advised to place him- self in the hands of an itinerant ven- dor of nostrums. Elliott did so and| was told that he was suffering from worms and that a decoction of worm- | wood would soon effect a cure. The medicine was prepared and Elliott fol- lowed the instructions very faithfully. Each day he became worse and was told that the medicine was of that| peculiar nature that makes peoplei sick before it cures them. Last night Blliott became violently sick and was seized with convulsions and spasms. When Dr. D. L. Jones arrived the patient was in a very ser- jous condition and death was very It was at once seen that Elliott was poisoned and that his whole sys- tem was permeated with the irritant. | As soon as his wife had told Dr. Jones | the story he decided it was the result accordingly. It was only after seve- danger, and to-day he declares that | no traveling doctor will ever sell him pills again. “People should take warning by XI- | liott’s case,” said Dr. Jones to-night, “and be very careful about taking med- icines from fakers. Had Elliott taken any more his chances would have been | very slim when I got to his house.” «THE DUTY OF A CITIZEN.” The National Holiday Marked by Patriotic Exercises and Ath- letic Events.

Reid of the California Christian Endeavor Union has issued the following notice to all of the societies in this State: Dear Endeavorer: I am very anxious that Sunday, March 6, should be very generally observed throughout the State by the Endeavorers in their efforts for | better observance of the Sabbath. That day has been set apart for the study of | this question, both in the Sunday-school and tue Endeavor societies, and interest is likely to be awakend upon the subject to a very wide extent. Will you please do me the favor, either personally or as a soclety, to request your pastor to preach updn this theme or some of its phases, and also to make special arrangements to present an attractive programme at your Endeavor meeting in consideration of this subject? In order that I may know what s be- ing done throughout ' the State to ac- complish a better observance of our Lord’s day, will you please inform me by postal card of all meetings you have held since last June to consider Sabbath re- form, and also of the number and char- acter of the meetings held in your church on March 6, including sermons, Sunday- school sessions and Endeavor meetings?

Jorgensen is her captain, and declares that he knows none of the passengers nor the point to which they are bound. He admits that it will sail under the dlrgcflo’n of the Old Domidion Mining and Exploration Company, com- posed of eighteen men. Herbert Kendal is said to be the only Oaklander in the expedition.

X Legislature Must Act. OAKLAND, Feb. 22—The committee of the Board of Education, appointed to in- vestigate the possibility of nvold{nfi the necessity of teachers and other employes of the department discounting their I ary warrants reported last evening. The report shows that only by an act of the Legislature can this be avoided. The teachers begin work in July, while the in- come from county and State taxes is not available until December and January re- spectively. Hence they have to hold or discount their warrants. AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE. Patriotic Reunion Where the Meas- ure Is Denounced. OAKLAND, Feb. 22.—The joint meeting of the Army and Navy Republican League and the Anti-Civil Service Repub- lican League was largely attended to- night and a great deal of enthusiasm manifested.

Stand together as the Demo- crats do and compel évery man you elect to put a Republican in office under him.” Alfred Wilkie was heartily applauded for his rendering of “The Sword of Bun- ker Hill.” He was followed by the Temple Quartet, Samuel Shortridge afterward making a stirring address. Miss Mary A. Morse sang ‘‘Star Spangled Banner,” after which resolutions condemning the civil service rules and cailing upon the Senator and the Representative in Con- s from this district to vote accord- expressing sorrow for the loss of the Maine and asking Congress to provide for the relatives of the lost, and indorsing George H. Hoguet for the position of Pension Commissioner were passed. No Property Offered. OAKLAND, Feb. 22.—The time for re- ceiving proposals for a site for a city hall expired last evening and not a propo- sition was received. It was generaily ex- pected the owners and real estate men would flood the city clerk with proposi- tions, but for some unknown reasons none was made. ——————— Berkeley Landmark Destroyed. BERKELEY, Feb. 22.—Fire this morn- ing destroyed a building on University avenue, opposite the Town Hall, belong- ing to J. Casey. ‘Casey’s,” as the place was known, was a resort popular and patronized in the days before the mile limit law was vigorously enforced. The genial host kept a number of goats in his back yard, and ‘“goat’s milk"” was dis- pensed over the bar to thirsty Berke- leyans. The place has been unoccupied for some time and nobody seems to know how the fire started this morning. When the firemen arrived no water coudd be ob- tained and the old landmark was totally destroyed. Berkeley News Notes.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 22.—Mrs. Martin Pet- ronek of 231§ Santa Clara avenue had a narrow escape from death last evenin; about 6:30 o’clock. She had been ill an was feeling somewhat weak. Thinking that a little stimulant would do her good she went to a cupboard where a bottle of whisky is kept. It was dark and she could not see the bottle. Nevertheless she took quite a drink from it. She had no seoner swallowed the liquid than she found she had made a miistake and had taken a big mouthfull of carbolic acid. Dr. Sander was summoned immediately and by administering antidotes managed to save her life, though her throat was painfully burned by the acid, and she will be ill for some time. . Football Game. ALAMEDA, Feb. 22.—The game of foot- ball between the Vampires of this city and the Oakland Recreation team in this city this afternoon did not turn out to be so interesting as was expected.

Will & Fincks Win From the Bush- nell Alerts by Superior Stick ‘Work. Yesterday’'s game between the Will & Fincks and the Bushnell Alerts was a batting exhibition from start to finish, in which the former team had a shade the better. Both pitchers were hammered all over the lot, but the Alerts suffered through poor flelding. Shea was taken oft first and put in the box and Mos- kimon was moved over to short.
