The officer came on to Dawson and goes back to-morrow taking with him papers secured from Consul General McCook, under which he expects to not only* rearrest Perry, but bring Ivey at Eagle City the Ivey ing Attorney Wade goes down with him. The outcome of the matter can scarcely be guessed at. Captain Foster of the Columbian says that Perry was disposed to send the money back with the officer, the consideration being that he himself be allowed to go and that the officer would have consented to this, but that Perry was influenced finally not to do so. To get requisition papers from Sitka is a matter of months that may run into years. It is so clearly impractica- ble to attempt it that it has long been the custom for officers of the two gov. | ernments to run over the line either way in chasing criminals, but old cus. toms are rapidly passing on the Yukon. Joe Pickup, a discouraged mines, camping with A. A. Turnbarge and J. Leighton on the water front, blew out his brains in his tent on the 17th. The little steamer Joseph Clossett, which was wrecked two weeks ago in Miles Canyon, arrived vesterday. The rush “out” is now gathering great momentum. The rate for third- on the down-river steamers of the old lines to Puget Sound points is $100 and the great majority are taking ad- antage of that rate. The rate up | river is $120 to Lake Bennett, which | means about $200 to Puget Sound. On | most of the boats going that way pas- sengers must find their own provis- fons. Bfig barges preparing to float down the river are taking passengers river in a few da ys with two barges in tow, passenger fare upon which will be $30. These doubtful enterpris will be well patronized. All boats leav. ing here for both up and down the river | carry a full quota of passengers and still the crowd upon the streets seems | to remain the same. Building both of | cabins and business places, the latter | being now made of such substantial stuff as is required by the winter, con- tinues at a tremendous pace. The sum- mer conditions are all being rapidly changed to meet the ice. But still the great number of tents that whiten the whole margin of the city is fixed as in early July. —_— NAVIGATION NOW CLOSED. So Klondikers Will Have to Take the Overland Trail. VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 10.—Repre- sentative Mason, who has just arrived from Dawson, reports that navigation on | the Yukon is now closed. The last steam- er to leave for St. Michael was the Sarah. The steamer ames Domville went aground near Rink Rapids and the steam- er Clara is aground in a slough close to Indian River. Both steamers were com- ing up the Yukon. e RICH QUARTZ AT SKAGUAY. It Is Said to Assay One Thousand | Dollars to the Ton. VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 10.—News is re- ceived here of a find of gold quartz at Skaguay going $1000 to the ton. The news came from a very reliable source, and al- though the exact location has not been made known, it is said to be within a very short distance of the Gateway City. MENDELL WILL SERVE. 1OS ANGELES, Oct. 10.—The arbitra- tors of the city and the water company in the fenfllng litigation over the posses- sion of the water plant announced this morning that Colonel Mendell of San | Francisco has been selected as the third | arbitrator and has accepted the position | in a telegram received this morning. Shot by an Unknown Man. AUBURN, Oct. 10.—Drummond Hulbert, aged 13, was shot yesterday while riding on horseback on his father's ranch north of town. The bullet entered his shoulder and came out of his breast. The shooting probably was_accidental, but the shooter is unknown. While the wound is a serious one, the boy will recover. Large Field of Wheat. FRESNO, Oct. 10.—One of the largest bodies of land ever planted to wheat in the San Joaquin Valley is being set out by Clovis Cole of Clovis. Over 25,000 acres are in the plece, which is situated on the Madera and Fresno County side of the San Joaquin River. Planting began last July and will continue until February. Up to the last rain 10,800 acres had been planted. This is up and looks well. The prospect for a good grain crop is good at present. 7 LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. SAILED. Monday, October 10.

BROUGHT BY MAVERICK COWS VETERINARY SURGEON MAKES AN INVESTIGATION. Finds Cattle Dropm‘])eud From the Malady Whose Nature Their Owners Did Not Suspéct, 1 Specfal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 10.—Dr. D. F. Fox, the official county veterinary sur- geon, this afternoon brought the alarm- ing intelligence that within three or four miles of Galt, at the southeastern cor- ner of the county, anthrax has ap- peared in the most virulent form among dairy cows. A couple of weeks ago two strange cows wandered to that section from some locality not yet ascertained. They remained a few days and died. Im- mediately thereafter Sol Kreeger began losing one cow after another, the ani- mals taking sick and dying despite his efforts to check the malady, whose true | nature he did not suspect. When the people of the vicinity read about the appearance of anthrax elsewhere they decided to notify the county veterinar- ian. Dr. Fox immediately repaired to the scene, returning this afternoon. To The Call correspondent he said: “I fcund the conditions very bad in- deed. During the past ten days twelve of Kreeger’s cows have dropped at dif- ferent points on his ranch, and when I reached there I located them by the buzzards that were circling about their still unburied carcasses. “A cursory examination sufficed to convince me that the cattle had died from anthrax. I found a milch cow which had symptoms of the disease and immediately killed it. Holding an autopsical examination while the body was still warm, I found the spleen, liver and kidn covered with the characteristic lesions of anthrax in its worst form. Before I could burn all the bodies I found some hogs which had strayed in, attacking the remains of one of the dead cows. 1 immediately quarantined those hogs and all of Kreeger's cattle. “The aisease can easily be communi- cated to human beings through contact | of the poison with an abrasion of the skin or throurh partaking of the meat An af- flicted cow at pasture with other cows may endanger the entire herd through the contamination of the fodder, which | is almost inevitable. I believe that we now have the disease under control since I found no other herds in the vicinity of Galt afflicted.” S ANTHRAX NOT EPIDEMIC SAN RAFAEL, Oct. great indignation in over the report ease known as anthrax was prevalent among the cattle of the county. The dairy interests of Marin are among the most extensive in the State and such misrepresentation cannot fail to inflict great injury. The whole of this afternoon’s session of the Board of Supervisors was given over to igation. The evidence shows conclusively that the anthrax ex wholly in the imagination of a yellow journal correspondent. Dr. W. F. Jones, the County Health Officer, stated that he had examined the cattle at Larkspur and Reeds Sta- tion, where anthrax was claimed to have prevailed and found not a trace of it. Dr. Neif, the County Veterinary Surgeon, made a similar statement. As regards the two men examined by Dr. Bazet In San Francisco, one of them told a local physician he was stung by an insect and the other had blood poi- soning consequent upon foreign matter getting into a cut on the hand. The unjust statement that in the last year herds of infected cattle had been herds of infected cattle had been brought into the county was strongly denied by R. T. Hatch of Novato. “Only 110 head of cattle have been brought into the county since last May,” sald Hatch. “They were all ex- amined by a competent veterinary sur- geon, and, without a single exception, found to be healthy.” It is believed that the flve cattle that dled at Reeds Station were afflicted with pulmonary tuberculosis, In order to prevent the introduction and spread of any disease in the future, the board adopted an ordinance providing before any milch cows or other horned stock be imported a certificate of health must be presented to the County Health Officer, signed by a regular graduate of a veterinary college, who shall have practiced his profession not less than two years. The District At- torney was called upon by resolution to enforce the provisions of the ordi- nance, and its viglation will be a mis- demeanor offense. SOLANO SUPERVISORS ADOPT PRECAUTIONS SUISUN, Oct. 10.—At a special meet- ing of the Board of Supervisors to-day the sum of $400 was allowed to provide for the collection of expert testimony regarding the fatalities among cattle in Solano County and to provide for expert examination of all cattle in the county. Stockmen intended to submit an ordinance before the board for the protection of their interests. It was de- cided, however, to defer this to obtain all possible information. When this shall have been accomplished an or- dinance will be presented for the Su- pervisors’ consideratio: 10.—There fis Marin County that the Killed by an Ore Car. REDDING, Oct. 10.—Martin _Price, a miner employed at the Iron Mountain mine, was run over and instantly killed by a trolley ore %ar this morning.

Principal Causes the Transfer of Teachers Whose Advance- ment Arouses Her Envy. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Oct. 10.—There is another revolt in the San Jose School Depart- ment. This time the scene of trouble is the Lowell Grammar School, and the chief actor about whom the storm of | fury centers is Miss Lois Peckham, the principal. For some time her tyran- nical and czarlike rulings have aroused ill feeling among the teachers, and some have even left the school rather than suffer abuse. It has been neces- sary to transfer teachers from the school in order to have harmony, and those to whom the principal took a dis- like and who had no political pull have either resigned their position or been | “classified out” by the classification committee. Miss Peckham has the support of Rea, and what she says in school affairs goes, and even the mem- | bers of the Board of Education have to respect her wishes. This was clearly shown the first of |last week. At that time there was se- rious trouble in the school and for a while it looked as though the dozen teachers there would go on a strike for the removal of Miss Peckham from the principalship. These sentiments were freely expressed by the schoolmarms and it was necessary to call in mem- bers of the School Board to pacify them. As it was Miss Peckham and Miss Charlotte Brower of the seventh grade nearly got into a hair-pulling janitor prevented a physical encounter. The outcome of this was that Miss Peckham told the Trustees that they | school or she would ignore their au- | thority and go straight to Rea. The Trustees took her orders as if they came direct from the “boss,” and Miss Brower was transferred to the Lincoln Grammar School. The story of last week's trouble is this: Miss Ida M. Love, vice princi- pal of the school and teacher of the ighth grade, was removed with her class to the new High School. The classes of this grade from the different | schools have been located in the High School to help fill the vacancy made by have gone to the Santa Clara High School. The removal of this class from the Lowell made Miss Brower of the seventh grade vice principal. Miss Peckham objected and started drive Miss Brower from the school by making it unpleasant for her. The other teachers took Miss Brower’s part and then trouble was on in earnest In order to restore quiet the classifi- cation committee—composed of Trus- gave Miss Nellie O'Brien of the Lowell the vice principalship. Miss Eliza Higgins of the Lincoln was put in Miss O’'Brien's place in the sixth grade. This has patched up the matter for a while, but it is s San s School Department is gaining an unenviable reputation. Dif- ficulty after difficulty has arisen and the people are beginning to ask where all this quarreling will end. Politics is the cause of it all, and unless checked the methods of Rea and the Macken- zies will be the ruination of the school The new High School has been alm wrecked and now the grammar schools are threatened. The City Board of Education is really to blame. Instead of conducting the schools for the best interests of the tax- payers they are using the positions in the department to strengthen their “gang” politicaliy. Trustees O'Neill and Wemple are In- clined to do what is right, but they are powerless to act with Langford, Graham and Kenyon opposed to them. When Langford was appointed a Trus- tee by Mayor Martin people believed he would act for the best interests of the city; instead he sold out to Rea for the nomination for Sheriff. His record for the few months he has been on the School Board shows how thor- oughly “gang” he is, and If placed in the Sheriff’'s office he would be even more neglectful of the people’s inter- ests. His vote was needed on the School Board, and as he wanted to be Sheriff the “gang” made the bargain from the City Superintendent's office. He also was instrumental in creating | the office of Supervisor of Kindergar- tens for Miss Belle Mackenzie. KNIGHT OF THE ROAD HALTS TWO TRAVELERS Lone Highwayman Collects Toll in the Northern Part of Marin County. SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 10.—For the sec- ond time within a month comes the news of a daring hold-up in the northern part of Marin County. At about 4 o’clock vesterday afternoon a Portuguese named Manuel Homen and a companion were stood up by & lone highwayman by a point nine miles from Point Reyes sta- tion. The robber presented a revolver and ordered the men to turn their pock- ©et8 inside out. They did as ordered, and were permitted to drive on, without hayv- ing to dismount from the wagon in which they rode. The knight of the road ob- tained only a small sum in cash, and did not seem to care for the jewelry the men wore. The victims describe the highwayman as being about 5 feet 8 inches in height. ¥e had a light mustache and wore a hunting coat. with a light striped sweat- er and dark pantaloons. His features were concealed by a black mask and the shadow cast by a dark slouch hrg, The robber was last seen cast of Point Reyes where the road strikes Tomales Bay.

It is a painful sight to see an otherwise robust man limping along on a crutch or cane, a sufferer from rheumatism. Rheumatism is a disease that will never attack a man who keeps his blood pure and rich. ere is just one way to do this. That is, to keep the diges- tion and assimila- tion perfect and the Iiver and bowels active. All cases of rheumatism are §romguy cured y Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It creates a keen, i hearty appetite, corrects all di orders of the digestion, and all weakness of the stomach. It makes the assimilation perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and rich with the life-giving elements of the food, the nerves strong and steady, and it drives all impurities and abnormal acids from the blood. Itallays inflammation and dispels pain. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It does not make cor- pulent people more corpulent. Unlike cod liver oil, it does not build flabby flesh, but tears down the unhealthy, half- dead tis- sues that constitute corpulency, carries them away and excretes them, replaciag them with the firm tissues of health. Thousands have testified to its merits. Sold at all medicine stores. ““I have been afilicted with rheumatism and Kidney trouble,” writes Mr. C. B.

Druggists sell them and there’s nothing else ‘‘just as good.” Dissolution of Co-partnership Sale! $125,000 of Fine Shoes To Be Soid at Less Than Manufacturer’s Cost.
