WHERE Is HE?
Sudden Disappearance of CaIistoca
Teamster.

sudden Disappearance of Calistoga
Teamster.
William Gates, who has for some time
past resided with his family in Calistoga
and driven freight-team for A NJ. Atkins
OF Lower lake, disappeared very mysteri-
ously from Middletown early one morning
last week. He was making a trip from
Lower Lake to Calistoga for load of mer-
chandise, having with MIN money to pay
necessary expenses and also small sums
that lie had that day borrowed. He stopped,
at Middletown for the night, where he en-
gagged In gambling, for which he has a
mania. Luck was as usual against him,
ana after losing all the money he had in his
care and possession he left the gambling
table, borrowed S3 of Henry Taylor at the
Lake County House and soon thereafter
disappeared. This was Saturday morning at
about O'Clock. 1t was supposed that he
had retired, and his absence was not known
until alter his room was examined at an
hour when he should have been attending
to duties of the day. Immediately after it
was known that he had not occupied his
bed search was made, but he could
not be found, and has not since been
heard from. While many suppose he COM
mitted suicide. others believe that he had
not courage sufficiently strong TO face the
situation In which he was placed by his
losses and ran away to escape censure
Gambling has cost him great deal of
money the past few years, but he seems not
TO have possessed sufficient decision to dis
continue the habit. His family consists of
wife and two children. Mrs Gates is a
daughter of j. II. McC0rd, who resides at
Bello Station, below ST. Helena. She is in
clined to entertain the opinion, we are in-
formed, that ner husband has committed
sulclde.-Callstogan, April 10th.

ORDER CHOSEN FRIENDS.
The Grand Council to Meet BiennisIIy
The Building League.

Inc OTanu COuuclt To meet BtenniSllys
The Building League.
The Grand Council of the Order of
Chosen Friends assembled in third days
meeting of the ninth regular session yes
terday morning in Washington Hall, C. NJ.
Arnold, Grand Councillor, presiding.
The election of officers for the ensuing
term was made the special order for to-day.
The resolution allowing instituting Dep
uty Grand Councillors the charter fee of
800 for each new council organized was
adopted with the proyiso that such councils
have at least twenty names on the charter
list.
A resolution was also adopted allowing
members Of councils So for each new appli-
catiol presented by them to their respective
councils.
Tine amendment to the Grand Council
constitution changing the sessions from an
nual to biennial was adopted.
1t was voted that the next regular session
be held in this city on the second Tuesday
of April, 1882
The matter of the Home and Savings
League, referred to by the Grand Councillor
IN his annual address, was considered. Ii
is new feature of the order, adopted at
the last session of the Supreme Council,
whereby it is intended to provide plan by
which members of the order may be able to
secure a home without the great outlay
usually required. Its salient features are
the same as are TO be found IN all building
and loan associations, only that it confines
ITS membership entirely within the order
The proposition provoked a lengthy debate,
INDUCED in by all the leading members of
the Grand Council, and, after being put to
vote, 1t was lost, it only having four sup
porters; those opposed arguing that the
order was not organized for the purpose of
conducting building associations, and tnat
the scheme is impracticable 50 lar as good
results to the order are concerned.
The Grand Council then adjourned until
10 o'clock this morning.

The poor little children, who are. consid-

tive of eOuutTy's future welfare. They
have certain rights that should be respected
in their childhood to make them factors in

tion. Besides public playing places IRE
1erred TO IN previous article), for those
who cannot afford or do not have private
ones, there should be adequate room for ex-
ercise and fresh air at school

Now one hour and a half is a long, long

With minds matured and enriched by long prac-
tice and studies of advanced order also by an ex
tensve hospital practice are enabled to insure

to believe that terrible poison has entered your
system. no matter what form it may have at first
developed, call at and will tell you If it is
still lurking in your system 1t will cost you moth

THE STREET COMMITTEE
1t Approves the Amended How
ard Extension Order.

Captain McMurray, U. S. A., who has
charge of the work OF macadamizng Lom-
bard street for a military road, appeared
before the Street Committee yesterday
| morning and explained the recent order of
the QuaItermaster-Genera in suspending
work upon the road. He maintained that
the order was caused by a statement from
the Preside authorities that the city could
not open Van Ness avenue as desired by
the QuartermaSter-Gene The Captain
stated that it was the general understand
ing among the military men interested that
the order had been issued under misap-
prehension of the facts of the situation, and
That as soon as the matter is explained the
order will be revoked.
Upon the suggestion of Captain McMur-
ray the grades at the crossing of Polk and
Lombard streets were fixed at 40 feet i'll
the north and 143 feet above base on the
south side.
The following street work was also
awarded: Paving the crossing of Twenty
fourth and Alabama streets with basalt to
a. d. Raisch at 80 cents per square foot;

ing OF Pine street to Central avenue to j. K.
carpenter, $3.50; matchmaking the crossing
OF Fine and Lyon streets, to Kenny d Nc
Hugh, $3.50
The bonds of A. j. Clunie, D. c. Nealon
ana Lawrence Mcmahon, as Commissioners
Tor the extension of Sixteenth street. were

Upon the report of the City and County
Attorney giving it as his opinion that Rose
avenue, between Laguna and Buchanan;
Ash avenue between Buchanan and Web
ster. and Grisar street, between Union and
hilbert, Octavia and Laguna, never having
Deen dedicated, are not public streets, the
committee decided to have them eXpunged
from the official map.
1t was decided TO accept deeds from
Adolph Sutro for streets laid out in the
PaTk-lane Tract and San Miguel Rancho.
Inc order to open Dolores street from its
present termination to Mission road was
laid over for two weeks to enable the COM
mlltee to INVESTIGATES the complaints of some
OF the property-oWners that the opening in
any other than straight line will damage
them.
The committee directed Superintendent
Ashworth to remove distractions from
Amity alley, as the City and County
Attorney had declared it public street.
IL was decided to accept from Jacob
Heyman deed to a strip Of land in the
Coo6 tract forty feet wide, running from
California to Prospect avenue, for public
street.
1t was resolved to report favorably upon
the amended order opening and extending
howard street from its present terminus
Southerly to North avenue, to a uniform
width oil eIghty-two feet, and appointing
Frank McCOppin, d. j. Too by and j. Dow

Success of Woman Suffrage.

Wherever woman suffrage has been
tried" writes Francis Minor in the April
Forum, lit has been success. The testimony
from English sources is abundant. that since
the complete enfranchisement of women
i'll the Isle of Man. the condition of public
affairs there has improved; and this fact is
used as an argument to show that par
liamentary suffrage should be extended to
women in England also. In the Territory
OF Wyoming women have enjoyed full suf-
frage since 1869, period of twenty-one
years. Governor Campbell, who was in
once at the time, in his message two years
later, said that the women had conducted
themselves III every respect with as much
tact, judgment and good sense as men. Two
