The San Francisco Chronicle of Nov.

notice of Hon. John A. Anderson, men,

of this state:
The champion Republican congress
sional district in the United States is the
First Kansas. 1t gives Anderson 10000
majority. The gentleman who. repre-
sents that district is the Rev. John A.
Anderson, son of the Rev. Mr. Amber
son who for many years, in the ear
ly days of this city, filled the pulpit of
the First Presbyterian church on Stock
ton street with eminent ability. The
Kansas congressman was educated in
the San Francisco schools. In 1S60-61 he
filled the pulpit of the First Pres byteTian
church of Stockton, the county seat of
San Joaquin county. When the civil
war called for bodied recruits. John
Anderson, taking counsel of his bosom
friend, Rev. 7. Starr King, resigned his
charge in Stockton and entered the
Union army, first as chaplain in

ment, stationed at Salt Lake City,
and afterwards as one of the chiefs OF

of whom this state can well feel
proud. In the prime of life, possessing
a character without spot or blemish
thoroughly and practically educated
trained to public affairs, full of moral,
physical and intellectual vIgor, sound
thinker, goodspeaker, and intense in his
love of country, he cannot fail to win re

wouldn't Preach I

Rev. Mr.. Lott is minister of the
Christian church here, and Mr.. Lewis
Lutz was chaplain to the X. of II. lodge,
and in that capacity acquired religious
reputation, so that, Mr.. Lott being a
new conner, many parties take his name
10 mean Mr.. Lutz. Mr.. Lott was mis-
takenly announced to preach, on re-
cent Sunday, at the Plymouth shool
house, and not arriving when the time
for service did, sharp eyed brother
present espied Mr.. Lutz, who happened
to be on hand, snugly esconsced in a
seat near the stove, and rising,
said: "Brethern, see chaplain Lutz is
present, and as the time for preaching has
arrived, move he begin" This request
was unanimously endorsed, and Mr.
Lutz was forced to arise and positively
decline. He explained, with much fer
vor, that it was not him, but the Rev
Mr.. Lott, a real minister, who was to
preach-but nearly all the audience
secuted this as mere pretense to dodge
his appointment, and could not under
stand that kind of religious preaching
or practice. The result was that til,
chaplain returned to town in a furiou:
temper, and most of the religious pee
pie out in Plymouth are convinced tina
his religious reputation has no founda
| ton in fact.

The sun and moon last week gave ex-
traordinary displays, for this latitude, of
what is generally taken to be electrical
phenomena of the north pole variety.
The sun was surrounded by four or five
large and distinct "sun dogs" something
like short rainbows in shape, and then
the moon came up with what might be
described as two comet like tails or
wings Of light, one extending upward
and one downward from its rim, and
very bright and distinct, while to the
south was for a long time bright rain
bow-tinted neucleus, apparently electrical
and not reflection. All these atmos
pherical displays no doubt indicate full
ice crop early in the season.

The murder of Mr.. Henry, occurring as
it does So soon after the killing of man
on Moon creek last summer, is disgrace
to our city, and while it is probably
true that the murderers are not residents
of the city, it evinces the fact that there
is an existing belief that criminals are
less likely to be overtaken in their he'll
ish crimes here than elsewhere. For the
sake of. in some measure, relieving the
stigma which this outrage casts upon
the community every citizen who can in

the outlaws should cheerfully do so. An

windows are to be made of stained glass,

subscribed for, and will be laid as soon
as the pews are in. The total cost of the
edifice including windows and pews, is
about $4,000. and it will
take $1,000 more to finish
and furnish the basement, purchase a
suitable organ, and in every way
finish the structure and its sur
