PULLING THE WIRES.
Supporters Of the Rival Candi-
dates Hard at Work.
Morrow's Friends Are Accusing Markham Men
of Making False Claims-sunday
Among the Politicians.

Yesterday was a quiet day, even for Sun
day, among the politicians, but this per-
haps is attributable to the fact that the
Republicans. who have had busy week,
took a day of needed rest while the Demo-
Gratis have not as yet warmed up to their
work.
The latter. thanks to the thoughtful care
of his Excellency Christopher A. Buckley,
have but little preliminary work to do,
while the Republicans are compelled to in
dulge in the luxury of regular primaries.
This involves a vast amount of labor which
the Democrats are spared. but involves an
exciting uncertainty as to who will assist
in naming the candidates. Buckley, more
considerate for the feelings of his follow
erS, who are averse to anything like labor,
merely furnishes list of delegates to his
favorite lieutenants and then the task is
done.
John Dougherty is authority for the
statement that this list has not yet been
formulated, but Buckley has been so busy
with his social duties that it is inferred
that he has not yet settled down to bust
ness. 1t is safe to say, however, that the
rank and file will be held aloof just the
same when he goes to work on his slate.
and will not be allowed to venture sutfi-
GENTLY close to the "boss" to make annoy
ing suggestions.
The closed doors of the Manhattan Club
will continue to stare them in the face, but
it is understood that they will be allowed to
stand on the opposite side OF the street ana
look admiringly at the building. The
faithful CerberuS will see that they ap-
prOach no nearer TO the sacred precincts OF
the imperial presence.

SHOUTING FOR MORROW.
The CoDgressman's Friends Accuse Mark
ham OF BIuster.

The Congressman's Friends Accuse Mark
ham OF Buster.
The Morrow men seem inclined to ridi-
Guile the claims of Colonel MaTkham's
friends and are shouting themselves hoarSe
in an effort to drown the din that is being
raised by the supporters of the Los Ange-
les man. MaTkham's only strength, they
say. Will come from the extreme southern
portion Of this State, and that his talk
about carrying Alameda County is all
mooushine. That county. according TO
their calculation, Will go TO Morrow, as also
will Sacramento, which was carried by
Rh0ads.
Now there is Santa Clara, with her
twenty-three delegates, which Markham is
laying claim to" said Morrow man at the
Palace yesterday. There is no reason to
believe that he will carry it, and i tell
you why. Three men, lin Ray, Jim Kelly
and T. c. Faulk, have had control OF the
machine down there, but the voters are
tired of their nigh-handed policy and it is
doubtful if they can control the delega-
ton. If they do it is Markham's, but 9TH
erwise not All this talk about Markham's
strength, in fact, is made with the purpose
TO deceive. but they will find that work is
what is needed most They talk about
Morrow having made enemies and bring
forward a lot OF equally absurd arguments,
but they will find him strong when they
come to measure strength with him."

SID LACEY IN TOWN.

Arrayed in His Best Suit of Clothes to
Gain Access to Buckley.
Sidney Lacey of Los Angeles, who is gen.
orally supposed TO have charge of the Cole
man boomlet in the southern portion Of the
State, blew into town yesterday, and after
disfguring the Palace Hotel register with
his rambling signature, strOlled over to the
Manhattan Club, where it is supposed that
he held consultation with Buckley.
In order to gain admission to the sacred
precinct he wore a brand-new silk hat and
the finest of linen, while the soft sea breeze
that toyed with his whiskers, departed
laden with perfumes that Wed in sweetness
with the flowers Of his sunny southland
home. 1t looked very much as if the stories
OF Buckley's eXclusivenesS had gone abroad
and as if Lacey was resolved not to take
tile risk of offending the delicate sensibili-
ties OF the mighty Christopher.
Be that as it may, history has it that the
cerberu who tends the portals of the Man
haitian Club put on his sweetest smile when
lie beheld the form of the southern states
man. and lost no time i'll leading him to the
presence cham Der to meet the smiling greet

OAKLAND CANOE CLUB.
An Interesting Race Sailed Yesterday oil
Oakland Estuary.

An Interesting Race Sailed Yesterday on
Oakland Estuary.
The Oakland Canoe Club sailed a race
yes terday afternoon on the Oakland Estu-
airy. A new triangular course had been
laid out especially for this contest and the
distance increased to three miles. Follow
ing is the list of canoes entered for the race
and their commanders:
Mystic. W. W. Blow; Gypsy, Al Blow; Froc,
Harrison; Gnat, Warder; Dart. Olsen; Whisper,
Morrow; Hebe, Landsberger.
The boats were started at 2:26 o'clock.
Dart took the lead, gaining rapidly for the
first hundred yards, but ran into calm and
lost her advantage, allowing Mystic to pass
the first stake first Gnat second and Gypsy
third.
The second stake was also passed with
Mystic in the lead, Frolic second and Gypsy
third.
Hebe and Whisper fouled in rounding the
home stake on the first run, and Dart soon
ran into another calm, which threw these
three canoes out Of the race.
At the fourth stake Mystic was still in
the lead, followed closely by Frolic, with
Gypsy bringing up the rear.
The fifth and sixth stakes were passed in
the following order: Mystic first, Frolic
second. Gnat third, Gypsy fourth.
On the last course w. w. Blow reefed the
Mystic's sails. and in SO doing lost the race.
The last tack was very close and exciting.
especially between Frolic, Gnat and Mystic.
The outcome was as follows:
Froc first, som.
Gna second, 59m. 25s.
Mystic third, som. 48s.

FIGHTING FOR MARKHAM.
Claims Made by the Republican Execu
tive CommitIee.

Claims Made by the Republican Execu-
tive Committee.
The members of the Republican EXecu-
tive Committee. although denied repre-
sentation, are now claiming victory. The
claim is very peculiar one, and before al
lowed will need veriication at the State
Convention. They urge, however, that
through their efforts the local Republicans
have been compelled to recognize Mark
ham as a gubernatorial candidate, when it
was the intention to throw the delegation
elsewhere.
Said one of them yesterday: THE whole
thing in nutshell is this: No matter how
strenuousy it may be denied, there is in
our minds a fixed conviction that deal
was III contemplation whereby the machine
Republicans were TO trade the Governor
snip for seat in the Senate. Now, in
order to accomplish this, it was agreed that
it would be necessary to nominate weak
man for the former place. A strong man
would win in spite OF their efforts, and for
this reason Markham was not to be thought
OF. Now, as we declared at various times
in our resolutions, we were not opposed to
the reelection of Stanford, but were de-
termined that trade should not be Ell
fected if it was in our power to check 1t.
The result of our fight has been that
Markham is to-day strong man III this
city, and will control a good portion, at
least, Of the delegation"

carefully, and their results used to bring
the new system into uniform operation.
The cost has been less than it was at nrSt
feared that it would be. The total appro-
pration was about S135,0o0, OF which not
all has yet been expended. More than
half of this sum was for the cost of the out
fall sewer from the main sewer to the purl-
fication works The capacity of the works
is ample for the publication of 9OOO,OOO
gallons OF sewage daily, which is more
than the present volume of city sewage;
to be somewhat more than $4,000, depend
ing in some measure upon the quantity OF
chemicals which may be found necessary

How to Keep Your Friends.

A girl, I know, said: "Tm o great
one for making friends" II sounded
as If she ought to be very happy, bnt
when I had . minute to think / won
dered if she vert good at keeping them.
Making friends is easy to the girl who
is bright and happy, whose society gives
pleasure, and who is genial. But the
keeping of them demands more than
this.
II you want to keep o friend don't
get too intimate with her.
Have your own thoughts, and permit
her to have hers.
Do not demand too much of her in
the way of confidence.
And do not be too aggressive. want
ing to know why she hasn't done this,
and why she doesn't think as you do.
II you think your friends style of
dress is not beautiful, don't tell her;
You only offend her, because deep in.
her heart she is convinced that she
knows a great deal more about it than
You do.
Do not find fault with your friends
friend, and do not expect to be the only
one given q corner in her heart.
Be as considerate of her feelings as il
she were Q stranger, and remember that
politeness Is an everyday garment. and
not one intended ONLY for high-days and.
holidays. To sum it up in one sentence.
preserve the courtesy Of the beginning
il you wish to keep Your friendship to
the end.-LGdies' Home Journal

THERE is scarcely a popular hotel
that could not start an umbrella shop
with the umbrellas forgotten by its
patrons. Many diamond rings are left
behind, having been removed while the
hands are washed. Watches innumera-
BILE are found under pillows, put there
by guests on retiring and overlooked in
the rush of the morning. Many pock-
etbooks, some of them substantially
lined with greenbacks, are forgotten,
often, no doubt, to the embarrassment
of the owner. Then there are gold
pencils. gloves, shoes, hats, o~vercoats,
eyeglasses, spirit lamps, powder boxes,
shirt studs and hand-glasses. There

The Veteran Oklahoma Boomer Died
Fighting for What Belonged to Him.
Captain Couch, the noted Oklahoma
Boomer, is dead. He lived fighting for
Oklahoma. He died FIGHTING for the part
of 1t which he believed belonged to him.
After the bill had passed congress provid-
ing for the opening of Oklahoma to settle
ment. he secured q contract from the
Atkinson, Topeka T. Santa Fe railr I'D to
build a switch from the main line to the
proposed site Of Oklahoma City. He vas
experimenting this work when the provi-
sions of the bill went into effect on May I,
1889. he stepped from railway right Of
way onto a choice claim adjoining the town-
site. His presence in the territory at that
hour made him q sooner" and from then
until the day he received the wound
that caused his death. he has been
quarreling with q contestant, j. &C. Adams,
formerly Of Springfield, Ill. On April 4
he was fencing his claim, when Adams or
dered him to desist. Couch refused and
Adams attacked him With q club. Couch
wrenched the club from his hands and
Adams then picked up his rife. Couch
struggled with him and in the struggle
gained possession of the rifle. Then Adj
ANS drew his revolver, but Couch had the
drop on him and forced him to throw away
his weapon. Adams then retired, but sp.
peared soon afterward with another rife
and commenced firing on Couch, who beat
a retreat. He turned once to fire, and %
he did 80 received a bullet in the knee.
The doctors delayed %amputation too long.
Blood poisoning set in and tho veteran
boomer died from the result Of his wound.
The feeling against Adams is very
strong, and United States Marshal Walker,
fearing Adams would be lynched, took him
to Wichita. Capt. Couch, after the death
in 1854 Of Col. Payne, the original Okla.
homa boomer, became the leader and
champion of the movement. He led sew
eral raids IN the territory, and on one oc.
casion it took eight troops Of cavalry TO
dislodge him and his companions from
their posts. which they had fortified near
saltwater. He was to have taken part in
the celebration of the first anniversary OF
the opening Of the country to settlement.
