In consequence, the Repub- lican counties are much sought after and the Democratic ones are very much like political wall flowers, for every one i willing to let. them go to his neighbor. The objection of Benator Davis to the addition of Tuolumne and the loss of Mono has been récounted. The desire of Luchsinger to go it ‘alone with Solano is tikely to be nipped in the bud, and several more equally ambitiqus are doomed to dis- appointment, for the reason that while Democratic counties may be politically dead they obstinately refuse to get off the map. 'rflore is a desire on the part of Monte- rey and San Benito to join with San Luls Obispo and form a Senatorfal district in defiance of Cutter’s bill, which says that Kern and S8an Luig Obispo shall go to- gether, and Monterey, San Benito, Merced and Stanislaus shall flock by themselves. 1t is pleaded that along the eastern boun- dary of San Benito County runs a range of mountains that prohibits passage, and all the svmpathles of San Benito and Monterey have consequently drifted south- ward 1o San Luis Obispo and Santa Bar- bara. Across these mountains lie Stanis- laus and Merced, both counties given to irrigation, while {n San Benito and Monte- vey the lumbermem and cattlemen pre- dominate. It is declared there is no sim- flarity of interests between the western and the eastern ends of the Thirty-first Senatorial District, as Cutter would have | it. with Monterey,"San Benito, Stanislaus and Merced, and ' that therefore search should be made down the coast and west of the mountain chain for what is needed to_complete the district. This would take San Luis Obispo from Kern, which, under the Cutter bill, makes them the Thirty-second Senatorial Dis- trict; but Kern could then reach up and filch Kings County from the proposed Twelfth istrict, which includes ings, Tulare, Inyo, Mono, Madera and Mari- posa.

With the Asylum Trustees the needs of the hospital were discussed. and pointed out. The Trustees have asked the Legislature for an appropriation of $0.000 to erect two brick cottages capable of accommodating 200 convalescent patients, $5000 for a water tower and $5000 for an arteslan well for an increased water supply.

J. Kirk has taken a hand in school legislation to the extent of preparing a measure on the subject of | textbooks, which will soon be introduced in the Assembly. The bill provides that the State Board of Education, in compil- ing textbooks for use in the common schools of the Stafe, may, with or with- out change, make of all or any part of any textbook at the time existing: and if the existing textbook or any part of it desired by the board shall at the time bs copyrighted and the board cannot law- fully make it without the consent of the | + KRk, SueT oF PuaLIC INSTRUCTION, KX and Santa Cruz should go together and make a district with San Mateo, thereby preventing the shifting of counties from one district to another, like the falling of bricks in 3 row.

The California Liquor Dealers’ Assocla- tion No. 1 was organized yesterday in B'nal B'rith Hall. The meeting was called to order by the temporary president, E. L. ‘Wagner, who stated that the object of the association was to take steps to. protect the interests of liquor dealers against threatened adverse legislation and for the social advancement of the menrbers. He stated that it was the intentlon to or- ganize branches in every city in the State, and ‘that efforts had been made since last July to bring about tHe consummation of the project. r. Wagner was followed by William Clack, Jesse Marks and Peter Dunne, who spoke briefly on the needs of organizing in order to protect the re liquor interests. (}mer the speechmaking Chairman Wag- ner appointed a nominating committes, consisting of Frank Dunn, iomas Lind- say, Jesse Mgrks, John Michel and Frank McCann, end upon their recommendation the following named officers were elected 1o serve for the ensuing year; President, E.

At the meeting Secretary Clack will submit a printed cir- cular, which will be forwarded to every city in the State to convince retail liquor dealers of the necessity of organization. Clack has already . received assurances from Hanford, Tulare County; Watson- ville, Ban Jose, Santa Cruz, Sacramento and several other cities that steps wi taken to effect organization on lines simi- lar to those in this city. ———e——— YOUNG ELECTRICIAN FALLS SEVENTY FEET Ralph Campbell, electriclan, aged 22, and residing with his widowed mother and four unmarried sisters at 1671 Golden Gate avenue, met with a perhaps fatal accident yesterday forenoon.

If San Ma- | teo, Santa Cruz and San Benito go to- gether it will be, but adding San Benito [ to a small proposed district and leaving things elsewhere as' they are. It bids fair to be a mix-up any way it is taken, and it will be further compli- cated when the Assemblymen get Into full swing and commence “kicking.” The lucky feature of it {s that Senatorial dis- trict lines are not hampered by Congres- sional district lines, while those of As- sembly districts aré. An Assembly dis- trict may not be split by a Congregslonu line. "So_far San Francisco has cut but a small figure in apportionment affairs. The threat that she would nilcted to the extent of a Senator has died away, and her Senators and Assemblymen have not vet started to fight over their own dis- tricts. The schemes to' portion out the city to various Congressional districts have narrowed down to two—one to join the city with counties and one to give her | two Congressional distriots all to herself. This latter probably will be the outcome, for it will simplify matters, besides givgng the San Francisco delegation what it will be glad to get. 1 The city is credited with a population of | 2,782, ch Congressional district fs | | presumed to have 180.000. o split the | ity into two without outside assistance | would leave each district about 8000 short, | but the city delegation fs willing to risk | making it up in the next two vears, and | the rest of the State seems willing.

Debenedetti was held up at 6:30 o'clock yesterday evening on the Wood- side road, three or four miles from Red- wood City. Debenedetti operates a vege- table wagon, and was returning home from'a trip to Woodside. When he had reached the foot of the grade, as he was about to cross.a large culvert In the road, three men sprang up from the ditch In tront of his ‘horses. One of them grasped the bridles of the horses and the others ordered Debenedetti to hold up his hands. He complied, and one of the robbers #LTAng into the wagon and dragged him to the ground. Debenedetti pleaded with thiem not to injure him, and told them he would give thiem all the money he hfd, but they paid | no_atténtion to hjs appeal. They struck end beat hum until the road was stained with blood. The injured man about 325, the keys to his.vegetable wagon, a watch and a knife. The robbers took his knife from him and stabbed him in the head with it, making an ugly hole in his | kull. They beat him on the head with ome instrument, fracturing his skull in several places and breKing his nose. The robbers then got into Debenedetti's wagon and drove off as fast as the horses could go, leaving their victim. as they be- lieved, dead on the road. Debenedetti lay where he had fallen a long time, but finally: with great difficulty managed to 8et to a farm house close by. The officers Were notified at about 10 o'clock. The robbers had a good start and drove towatd San Francisco. A crime was committed it s dark, and Lebenedetti cannot give a good deserip- tion of the men other than that two were | tall and one short, and that one of the tall to-nigh:, ‘where he found the horses and wagon of Debenedetti. The robbers evi- | dently had driven as far as the electric | railroad, where they boarded the cars to | San Francisco. They had left the wagon | by the road and turned the horses loose. The Sheriff has no clew that would lead to the capture of the men. PLANTING FLOWERS FOR McKINLEY’S RECEPTION All Santa Clara County Making Prep- arations for the Carmival of Rogzes.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 26.—The officials of this city were much exercised this morn- [ | Ing over the discovery of bloody footprints which showed rlainly the entire length of more than seven blocks of cement side- walk. Inquiry resulted in the discvoery that the bloody foot belonged to a Chi- nese domestic called Joe. and that he met an accident while trying to learn how to mn;gme a bicycle in the late hours of the night This city boasts of a_Chinese bicycls club. It is composed of the servants of people who live away from the center of the town. It is a common sight to see a dozen or more Mongols biking through the streets. Joe wanted to join the club and tried to learn how to ride. At midnight, in the shadow of the Hotel Rafael, he mounted his wheel and started down the drive. An electric light pole danced out into the middle of the street and butted into him. Joe and the bike bit the dust. Remounting, he succeeded in reaching Sixth street, manufacturing snake tracks as he went.” At the raliroad crossing he collided with the danger signal and was thrown to the ground. An old can cover buried itself in his knee and blood began to flow. It was while searching for a doc- tor Joe left the bloody footprints. Dr. W. F. Jomes stitthed up the wound, and the cm]nno1 will soon be able to resume his cycling. DEATH BY SCALDING. Peculiar Fate of the Fireman of a Steamer.
