cation has been held, at which the $50, 900

discussed. but the decision was not made
known. IL will be announced at the next

cured for each dog and the cost of each tag
is So per year. The Town Marshal will dis
pense the tags, and must, according to the

There is considerable talk against the pro-
posed adoption Of new charter for the
town. Many think that the town will be
changed to frst-class city, with a Mayor,
police force, ETC., and that the taxes will be
raised SO high that every one will be bank
rupled. If a public meeting is not held be-
fore the charter is submitted 10 the people
and the proposition thoroughly explained,
the charter will be defeated by about five To-
one. 10 all probabilities as large a vote
VIII be p0led at the charter election as at
the general election last November.

LEWIS is CHAMPION.
The "Strangler" Gained Three
Falls From Acton.

The announcement that Evan Lewis and
Joe. Acton would wreStle a return match
drew large crowd of sportsmen. among
whom was slight sprinkling of ladies, last
evening to the New Wigwam. Lewis was
drawn down as fine as thoroughbred race
horse and scaled 179 pounds. Acton gave
his weight as being 1854 pounds, but judg-
ing from his appearance in the buff he must
have weighed very close to ITO pounds.
Stevenson, the eX-champion sculler of
Benicia, who is known among the aquatic
fraternity as ''Big Steve" mounted raised
platform in the rear of the hall and an.
nounced that he was prepared to sell few
pools on the result. He offered to bet 500
against $50 that Lewis would win the match.
but the sports seemed wary and refused the
very tempting offer. Finding that the few
poo sold on the result would not cOmpen-
safe him for shouting his lungs dry, he
changed the programme by offering to wager
on the falls. Lewis sold favorite each time,
and as a result the sports who staked their
dollars on Lewis winning the third fall got
nipped pretty sharply.
The contestants appeared, ready for the
struggle. on platform erected in the center
OF the hall and which was raised almost five
feet from the ground purposely to give the
spectators in all parts of the house an oppor-
tunity to see the contest. Lewis lost no
time when the referee, Martin McCafferty,
gave the signal "grasp arms" to pitch into
his opponent. Acton. who is undoubtedly
very clever wrestler. avoided many danger
Gus holds by resorting to cunning moves.
which puzzled the powerful Lewis many
times during the bouts. After fourteen
minutes Of quick and determined wrestling
Lewis won the first fall, with a reverse half
Nelson lock, amid great cheering.
The athletes then left the stage and ap-
peared again in fifteen minutes: They had
not more than begun to wrestle when Lewis
secured flying full left trip on Acton when
both men were on their feet, landing the
latter on his back, both shoulders touching,
IN twenty-five seconds. Shouts of mo
fall came from all sides of the house, but
the referee was not to be intmidated by
public opinion and awarded the bout to
Lewis
Some very exciting and clever wrestling
followed. in which Acton proved that
against man Of his inches he would be a
dangerous opponent. He managed after
several feigned attempts to secure lock ON
Lewis, by which he rolled his big OBJ onent
over and held him bridged until Lewis was
forced to give way and Acton won the fall
IN 10 minutes, the announcement causing a
burst Of applause.
The fourth fall and match was won by
minutes by a three-quarter Nelson. Acton,
just before the fall, came within an ace Of
being wrestled off tho stage-both Of his
legs hung over the sides of the platform for
several seconds, while Lewis had a firm hold
OF his arms and neck.
The contest proved that Acton is altogether
TOO small man to- oppose such a powerful
antagonist as Lewis. who is the acknowledged
champion OF America.

promises to be an interesting contest for the
chairmanShip. The aspirants are Alfred

and W. w. Shannon, the delegate from the

that on the night of the election the contest
will narrow down between the leader of
the prolonged iron-workers' strike and Mr..
Shannon, who is very popular man among
the compositors and an earnest worker in
their cause. 1t is more than probable that
Charles Kretlow. President of the Cigar

had arrested the occupants for illegal fishing,

followed and renewed their demand on the

The Iron-molders' Union has appointed a
committee to visit the officials of the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company and inquire
regarding the exact authority given by the
company to w. C. Gregory, its travelling

nouncing that Gregory is acting as an
employment agent for the iron manufac-
turers under the ban OF the union here. If
such is the case the railroad officials will be
asked to check or remove Gregory

A plan has been proposed by the local
labor unions to secure the adoption of a
universal white labor stamp for all the
trades on the Pacific Coast, and the Council
OF Federated Trades will be asked to adopt
suitable stamp. 1t is said that the weak
ness of the present plan of multitude of
stamps is that half of them are not widely
known to the general public, and that il one
stamp were adopted all the trades unions
and the public would soon become thor
oughly familiar with it,

THE OLD WHITE PINE.

Far to the north in the trackless wild
A grand old pine tree stood,
Towering aloft in its majesty,
The monarch of the wood.
Through all the storms of the countless years
1t proudly reared its head
High DER the ranks of its kindred near.
Where forest sires lay dead.
Deep in the heart of the wilderness
To mankind all unknown,
Safe from the axe of the lumberman
For ages it had grown.
At last one day through the forest came
Stout woodsmen by the score,
And ere the light of that day had fed
The monarch's reign was DER.
Straight to the core of the patriarch
The keen-edged blades were sent,
And prone to the earth with mighty roar
The giant crashing went;
Then of the huge weather-beaten limbs
The PROSTATE trunk was shorn,
And to the mill by the rapid stream
y Its several lengths were borne.
Forth to the world went the woodland king
Rent in thousand parts,
Borne from it's home in the northern wood
On to the busy marts;
Part went to form q laborer's cot,
Part framed mansion fine,
And many things for the good of man
Came from the old white pine.
