STIRRING THEM UP.
Urgent Circulars Issued to Native
Sons ParlOrs.
Contra Costa Now on Its Mettle - Federal
Troops Will Parade-The Subject Of
Finances.

Last night the Parade Committee of the
Native Sons held meeting to arrange for
the issuance of the joint invitations to be
sent by the Pioneers and Native Sons and
do other work of minor nature, but neces-
sary if the parade to be given is to be more
than an advertising scheme.
1t was decided to allow no advertising
schemes in the parade and the decision to
| that effect will comprise every possible
means that advertisers have been known to
use on such occasions. 1t was feared by
the public that floats representing trades
might be extended to represent houses"
| or firms and companies in which case they
| would become nuisance, but last nights
action will stop all possibility of such self
| ish schemes.
The committee also decided to invite the
order Of the Knights of Pythias to partici-
| pate in the parade, and communication
to that effect will be addressed Brigadier-
! General of the Uniform Rank K. OF L. L. ii.
Anderson. 1t is thought that their cantons
throughout the State will be ordered to
| parade on that day.
communication from Palo Alto Parlor,
No. 50, Of San Jose, was read in the COM
mittee meeting last evening. The parlor
states that it will appear In the parade

CONTRA COSTA WILL NOT BE oUTDoNE.
One of the most pleasing features of the
| Native Sons preparations for the coming
celebration is the visit made by delegates
appointed by their parlors or self-ap-
! pointed to give the result of their efforts 10
! the Joint committee and the press of this
city. For over fortnight visitors OF this
| sort have called at the headquarters OF the
| committee at the Grand Hotel, and any adj
| ditional news they we're able to impart was
| always received with hurrah when that
! news was encouraging, or in silence that
| made the boys grit their teeth with deter
| mination when 1t was otherwise.
When one drops into the headquarters,
| as did l.. Il. Page yesterday. and tells of
efforts that almost rival theirs, then in
deed are the Sons ready to swear by that
messenger, and he is quoted for days alter
ward.
L. E. Page, who is member of General
VIM Parlor, No. 50, Of Antioch, gave a
glowing account Of the WORK being done in
his county, and says that in no way will
Napa County be allowed to beat Contra
COsta-if they can help it.
"We are not" said Mr.. Page, "gong to
| be alone in our work. Mount Diablo Par
Tor of Martinez and Central Parlor of Wei
land Greek will attend the celebration, and
| are helping US to organize an excursion, for
| which train has already been chartered.
| This train of twenty cars will leave Lathrop,
passing through Byron, Brentw God, Anti
och, Cornwall, Martinez and Port Costa, to
gather up the crowd at each station.
There will be fully 1900 people in this
party, which will be headed by the Martinez
band. As we have no bear, the San Fran

contented with a California lion or panther,
