EDITOR GAZETTE: Another week
has passed and still no rain and no
sign of any and according to the
old Indian sign there will be none
during this moon for it hung W
much on the corner.
Stock water is quite scarce; grass
all gone ON the ranges and but very
little left in the pastures and that
is perfectly dry,
Mr.. F. NJ. Nelly has been out all
this week with several hands round
ing up cattle for Mr.. A. Nanham;
/ he (Vanham) will ship his cattle to
the west about the Doth inst.
The school at the Institute will
commence on the first Monday in
October with Prof. John Crouch as
principal, and Mr.. James Murphy
as assistant. No better selection
could have been made for teachers.
A protracted meeting is in prog
ress at the Methodist church; began
last Friday night.
Mr.. Willie Parker and John Ton
burger have gone to seek fortune
in the cotton fields on the Brazos
in Bosque county.
Crops are about all gathered; the
cotton crop is about one-half Of
what it was last year.
About so bales of cotton was sold
in Moulton yesterday. 1t brought
S cents cash and 81 on account.
The health of our section is very
good; no sickness that we hear of

EDITOR GAZETTE: Once more our
scrawl pays you visit. Why in
the mischief don't you town folks
stir up the clerk of the weather and
get him to furnish us with a supply
of the limpid fluid. 1t is so dry
out here that the cattle are eating
the grass roots. If rain does not
fall soon we shall have to keep
stock penned in order to prevent
them eating up the roads.
Now cotton is beginning to go
up, the farmers spirits are rising
in like ratio. Let them rise; | tell
you it does your correspondent good
to see the farmers faces cheerful
and their daughters smiling over
the good times in prospect.

giant-like grandeur and is equal to
an Egyptian obelisk in symmetry.
The narrow path between the rocks

forming the track for so noted a
line. At Bridgeport the train
plunges into the tunnel 1856 feet

complaints OF q Loose Quarantine.
The NeighborhoOd Alarmed.
People living in the ueghborhood of Shot
we'll and Twenty first streets are much
wrought up and in many instances badly
frightened on account of the four cases of
smallpox at the Home of the Deaconesses of
the Methodist Church, at 1872 Shotwell street,
and the somewhat loose manner in which it
is claimed by some of the nelghbors that the
quarantine is kept.
One of the patients, Miss Coates, who
was the first one TO contract the disease, is
cOnvalescent, and two others, Mas Richie
and Miss Eyens, are rapidly improving.
But MISS hawkins, whose case has been
more pronounced than those of the others,
is still in precariOus condition, although
DR.. Beatty, the attending physician, enter
talns little doubt OF her ultimate recovery
The drugstOres In the vicinity are doing
large business in disnfeetants, and neigh
boring physicians are called on constantly
10 administer vaccination.
Although DR.. Kesney's yellow warning
signal dec0rates the front door in conspic-
u0u5 way, and has done so for the past
week, it is said that mail is delivered aud
collected from the auarantined house as il
no such thing as smallpox existed.
Whether the disease was brought into the
house by May Thrae, a japanese nursr, who
is also deaconesS. and who constantly Vis-
its and nurses Japanese patients, or by
patroniziDg the laundry of Tung Lung, at
$50 Shotwell street, is not known. but the
patients incline to tue latter belief, as some
of them visited the laundry but short
time before the disease made It's appear

SPACE IN DEMAND.
Catholic School Exhibits
Coming In.
The Art Gallery at the Mechanics
Pavilion Not Big Enough to
Contain Them.

When the exhibit of Catholic schools was
first planned IN this city it was thought that
there would be room enough IN the Art
Gallery of the Mechanics Pavilion for the
whole display. AS the work progressed.
however, 1t was seen that the other galleries
should be used, and a few weeks ago, when
the space was allotted. it was understood
that the ground floor would be altogether
free.
But now that the various schools have
gathered their work and estimated the
space required to show it to advantage q
rush Is being made for the ground floor to
get away from the eramped quarters OF the
gallery.
As the main floor of the Pavilion Is re-
quired for the military drill and the thou
sands of chorus singers the only place
available for booths was under tn galleries.
The whole south end is now taken up,
beginning with Father McNally's school
near the Larkin-street entrance and ending
with ST. Ignatius' display of physical in
struments between the rockery and the
machinery hall.
Ga the north side Stockton has taken
sixty feet front and it looks likely that on
Monday the ground floor will be as much
filed as are the galleries.

The rehearsal last Sunday at ST. Joseph's
Hall. Tenth street, gave violence OF the
great efforts being made by the teachers
and the chorus promises to be something
unique in the history OF San Francisco.
Archbishop Hordan will open the exer-
cises with an oration. On Wednesday night

Brothers schools.
ST. IgnatiuS will have part of Thursday

ments, on electricity, magnetism, etc. Iu

classes in the various booths, so that educa-
tors and others interested may see the sys-
TENS in use in the Catholic schools or

schools anu colleges have well-earned
vacation.
Nothing will be sold in the exhibit, so that
those who intend To visit may rest assured
that when they have bought their entrance
ticket they Will not be pounced on by fair
banditti and compelled to beggar them
selves in the holy cause of charity. The
exhibit IS simply to show the work of the
schools and is not for the purpose Of raising

BALLOTS INTACT.
No Proof That They Were
Tampered With.
Judge Hebbard so Decides and the
Recount Is Continued - Read
Gains 2z More Votes.

Bright and early yesterday morning the
Read -GlYnn contest was continued before
Judge Hebbard by the introduction of more
testimony to show that the ballots have re-
NAMED intact.
But Matthew !. Sullivan thinks that the
testimony does not show anything of the
kind.
Ex-Registrar Brown testified that there
were persons who knew the combination of
the safe in which the pink bundles were
stored. Messenger Frank Mcmahon being
one.
Don't you knew that it is a matter of
common rumor that the ballots have been
hammered withP" asked Mr.. Sullivan.
No. sir, do not, and Id0n't believe that
they have, because | don't consider that 1t
was possible TO tamper with them."
Frank McMahon, the messenger. ackn nowl-
edged that he knew the combination of the
safe, but said that lie rarely opsned it
because during the day the outer door was
always unlocked ''The safe is provided
with an inner door, however" he said,
"and that Is always locked and the key is
kept by Chief Clerk Lewis, either about his
person or IN q drawer of his desk"
f. Fl. PlumadO, the night watchman.
testified that he never slept at his post,
though he may occasionally have been
absent But the sale was always locked.
Max Warschauer and Fred w. Lees,
courtroom CLERKS, were positive that during
the previous recounts the ballots were not
and could not have been handled by outside
parties. Even the attorneys would have
found 1t difficult to stamp them.
Read rested and Judge Hebbard decided
that it hau been affirmatively shown that
the ballots had not been tampered with,
and ordered the recount to proceed.
Mr.. Sullivan offered lengthy objections.
and then the ballots were brought into
court and the votes of the Seventh Precln ct
of the FOrty-fOurth District were counted.

THE SALT WATER.
Harrison Will Continue
the Work He Began.
His Resignation as President of the
Olympic Will Not Alter His
Plans-The WrestIers.

The announcement of the resignation OF
William Greer Harrison of the Olympic
Club at this particular time has created
mole excitement and talk in club circles
than any other matter that has been brought
TO the attention of the members since the
club came into existence.
With very few exec ptiOns there Is a gen.
eral feeling of regret among the members OF
the club that anything should have hap
pened to disturb the harmony and good
feeling that have existed between the men,
bers and directors.
The opinion entertained by many men,
bers that, because of Mr.. Harrison's resig-
nation from the presidency of the club, the
work attached to the laying of pipes and the
introduction of salt water from the ocean
into the building will be neglected is not
warranted.
Mr.. Harrison states that his resignation
as presiding officer Of the club will not in
any way interfere with his plans so far as
the saltwater question is concerned.
Il intend to complete what l have
begun" sad he, "and when the club shall
have what had promised il then 1 will be
satisfied. notwithstanding the obstacles
that have been thrown in my path"

for the attack, otherwise | should think it

desire to hear Mr.. Harrison's side of the
question before l can venture an opinion"
The great interest manifested in the re-
suits of the wrestling contests, which will
take place at the Olympic Club on Thurs
day evening next is centered in the match
between Lean and Haberly.
These wreStlers have been for years dis
putting the right to championship houors,
and, strange to state, some unforeseen 0c-
currence has always sprung up which
caused the postponement Of proposed
contest
Lean and Haberly are both constructed
on powerful lines, and as their differences
in weight and height are very small, the
contest between them on Thursday even
ing promises to be OF a very exciting
nature.
The other entries for the match contests
of catch-as-catch-can are Hallet and
Grimm, Gerdes and Bartlett, Boulo and
Kreling
According to the conditions laid down by
the club. the wresters will engage in two
out-of-three bouts to decide the champion
shin.
This athletic event, which will be con-
eluded on Thursday, the 10th inst, will be
followed by gymnastlc tournament on the
30th inst.
