tageous a location near a metropolitan city.
Three years ago property was fetching in
acreage lots from $500 to $4,000 an acre,
and the Pleasant Valley property, ETC, in-
tervening, from $500 to $500. To-day, in
subdivisions, chOicer locations reach $1,000
or thereabO utS, while undivided tracts near
the cable cam OF be touched for less than
$1,000 an acre. At the present time there
are several desirable tracts that are receiv-
ing marked attention. Linda Vista Ter
race, ON the first large plateau reached by
the cable-rOad, is noteworthy, commanding
a capital view and being very desirable,
with graded, sidewalked and severed
streets, etc. The Stanford Tract is now
improved and ''citifed" before being placed
on market. The Hunton Tract, joining the
terminus Of the cable-road, is another at
tractiye property on easy terms. The Pied
mont Tract, directly facing the terminus of :
the road, Is proving popular with investo rs.
The same may be said of the Terminal
Tract and many others. lots in which are
being sold at bargain prices on easy TERMS
IN HAYS CANYON.
An adjoining section that must not be
omitted while speaking of Piedmont is Hays
Canyon, the romantic valley just behind the
ridge that receives its name from having
long been the home of the famous Colonel
Jack Hays. Here is found the beautiful
home of w. J. Dingee, the Oakland real
estate dealer, with its fine Conservatives and
thrifty orchards of prunes, apricots, olives
and pears-35 acres orchard and over 1000 in
all. This place is well worthy OF a visit.
Lower down are the fine places also of Mrs.
Kohler. Judge E. NJ. Gibson, Mrs. Field and
others.
THE FUTURE
OF Piedmont is undoubtedly bright These
high lands are being sought out as the sites
for beautiful homes. For health and pleas
ure people of wealth and culture always
seek the higher grounds. Already Pied
mont counts among her people such names
as those of Ex-Governor George G. Perkins,
|. Requa. L. A. Booth. +. E. d. Myers, J.
B. Richardson, James Gamble, Mr.. Randall.
j. L. Wetmore, r. W. Wing, A. w. Bow
man. E. Il. Elrod, Hugh Craig, A. Aldrlch,
f. w. Roberts Jr. and many others we'll
known in every circle, whose beautiful
homes and grounds would ornament any 10
cality, while now that the cable road is
running many more are coming in. Since
its arrival about thirty new structures have
gone up or are now in course of erection,
some of them costing $4,000 to $4,000.
To sum up, Piedmont possesses a fav0ra-
BILE climate, has an uneQualed prospect, is
easily and cheaply reached, has famous
medicinal springs and is the abode of
wealthy aud public-s spirited men.

Piedmont has always been considered one
of the most favored as well as famous of
Oakland's charming suburbs.
Although the hillsides and valleys that
bound Oakland on the north and east, and
which, speaking generally, are sometimes
called Oakland Heights, were early taken
up by settlers, VINO utilized them Tor farm
ing aud stock raising, there yet seems to
have been no definite conception of their
great future value until comparatively late
days.
PIEDMONT SPRINGS,
The ranch including which was long known
as Bushy Dell, on account of the wooded
aud romantic character of the ravine or
glen in which the springs are situated, were

much resorted 10. 1t was these springs that
first made Piedmont faynrite. Finally in

ored Immediately. Amonth passed, and
nothing was heard from it. A few days
ago the private secretary of the Govern
or of Massachusetts, came and inquired of
the chief of police in Bostonif q certain
man was wanted in London. The reply,
of course, was in the affirmative, and it
was then ascertained that the English
officers, on receiving the telegram, re-
ferred it TO the Foreign Office, which, in
turn, sent it to Minister Lincoln, who
correspondent with the Secretary of
State, at Washington, and that depart
ment communicated with the Governor
OF Massachusetts,. A similar process had
to be observed in getting the informa-
ton back to England, and the result was
that the Scotland Yard officers reported
that the man had gone to Antwerp. If

Will have to be got rid of.

FANNY ~CARTWRIGHTS DEATH.


CHICAGO. Nov. ga remarkable devel-
surrounding the death of actress Fanny

The singular circumstance now brought to
light, 1t Ia thought, may tend to unseal his
lips or otherwise help prove him to be q
murderer. 1t appears that he was arrested
seven years ago for an almost OK actlysirnilar
crime-the killing of Amelia Olsen-a TRACE
dy which has never been explained.
Amelia. like Fanny, was exceptionally
handsome. and lived in the same part of
the city. The Olsen girls body was found
in the middle of an unfrequented prairie,
and had evidently been dragged some dis
lance. 1t was evident that she had
fought bravely for her life and
honor, and Beatty. who was arrested
in the crowd of morbid On-lookers drawn
to the place, had n face badly scratched by
a woman's fingers. He doggedly refused.

CULLEGE FOOTBALL.
policy.

The term football, as applied to the
game now played, seems to be a case of
lucuS a non lNcendo. There is very little
football in it. The kicking is mostly
don by the players against the rulings
Of the umpire. The head, the arms, the
hands. the fists are all used more than
the feet. 1t would be curious to trace
the evolution of the present game from
the Old-fashiOned foot-hal played thirty
years ago, when it was almost wholly q
kicking game. Then it was an excep-
tional thing for the ball to be touched
by a players hands, now it is seldom out
of some ones hands.
The tendency in the evolution of all
games is to surround and cucumber
them with technical rules, which none
but experts or those we'll up in the game
can understand. The result is that they
cease to have much interest for the
average citizen beyond that which per-
tains to a mere contest of strength and
skill. He can see that one side is get
ting the advantage of the other, but
he cannot tell how or why it is. The
rationale of the game is enveloped in
technicalities. The result is that the
game becomes more and more profess
sional, and in order to keep up with its
development students must become pro-
fessional athletes. At the present rate
it will not be long until college clubs
will be hiring blacksmiths and profess
sional sprinters to play with them, and
no faculty will be complete without a
professor of football. College games
are a good thing and physical culture is
very important, but there is a constant
tendency To run them into the ground.
Football as now played runs into the
ground a great deal. especially when it
is muddy.
Yesterdays game was we'll played and
bravely fought. but it was plain from
the beginning that the Butler team was
outclassed. 1t was easy tn see that the

BANKERS CHILD KIDNAPPED.
Two Year-Old Son of David T. Beals, of
Kansas City, Spirited Away by q Waitress.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 26.-Thls place was
startled this evening by the announcement
of the bold %kidnaping of the two-year-old
son of David T. Beals. president of the
Union National Bank and millionaire cap

they had been annihiinted. Mr.. Beais is
an elderly man. and this being his youngest
child. is regarded by both parents with
peculiar favor. They are nearly heart
broken over his mysterious disappearance.
The KIDNAPPING was done by the waitress
known as Lizzie Smith, engaged in the
Beals household. Just as the family was
finishing dinner this evening the waitress
remarked that she would 60 out after the
evening paper. which Is always delivered
on the veranda of the house. She had
been gone but q few moments when Mr..
Beals heard an outer door slam. This.
while not being unusual at all, somehow
into the hall he found that his little SON
was not playing about. The child had
been playing in the hall with two OF
Mr.. Beals's grandchildren. Upon being
questioned they said that Lizzie had taken
the child ont by a side entrance. Search
was Immediately made for the servant and
child, but up to the present time no trace
whatever of them has been found. Mr..

JUST now the chances appear to be
rather in favor of Mr.. Mills for the
speakcrship. While he seems person
ally not to be so well fitted for the duties
of the Office by temperament as Mr..
Crisp, he undoubtedly represents what
ever of courage and conviction the party
has. Still, the manager who are COM
bined against HIM are the most adroit
men in the party, and, as the candidacy
for the presidency is more or less in
volved in the outcome, Mills's opponents,
who are Cleveland's foes, will make a
