OAKLAND.-Footpads are again at work
in Oakland's dark streets.
A II o'clock Saturday night driver for
the Peoples Express was returning to his
home on Market street. near fourteenth.
At the corner Of Twelfth and Grove streets
man stepued out of the shadow of the
new High School building and asked him
for cigarette. He renlied that he did not
smoke. and almost instantly he was struck
crushing blow on the head from behind.
When he regained consciousness his as
sailant had disappeared. He was covered
with blood from long cut on the top of
his head.
His first thought was of his salary for
| the past week. which, after its receipt
several hours before, hs had deposited in
his hip pocket. 1t was intact. All that
he lost was 80 cents, which the robbers
had taken from one of the side pockets of
his trousers. Thin king. no doubt. that
that represented their victims entire cap
itel they left him in his blood.
He staggered to the residence of DR..

The physician. 1t required twelve stitches
TO sew the scalp wound. He immediately
reporie ed the no bbery TO the police, but it is
doubtful If the footballs will be run down,
as he cannot identify either of them.
Convention of Junior Endeavorers.
Extensive preparations are being made
for the convention of the Junior Christian
Endeavor Union of Alameda County,
which will convene in the Young Mems
Christian Association building Saturday
afternoon.
1t Is expected that all the Junior Eu-
deavor societies in the county will be rep
resented by their respective superiD-
tendents and large delegations. The tenn
tor discussion and elaborate plans looking
to the growth of total abstinence will be
made and adopted.
Recognizing the fact that many young
people take passive interest In the cause
OF temperance for the reason that they do
Dot know just how to apply themselves
actively, Mrs. McMath, County Superin-
tendent Of Juvenile Instruction, will
establish training school Immediately
after the convention. Her desire is to
teach those who are am bitious to teach
temperance what to do.
Avery Good Idea.
The finishing touches are rapidly being
put on the new hich school building, and

confident that it will be ready for occu-
pancy on the opening dav of the next
cation will be most elaborate, and the de-
tails are already being ARA ged by a
committee of the Board OF Education.
1t is more than probable that arrange
ments will be made at the new school
which Will enable the students whc live
at some distance to enjoy hot lunch at
noon instead of the cold morsel In the
time-honored dinneI-pai.
A proposition was made to the members
of the board to tit up a diningroom and
kitchen for the use of the students. The
idea met with the approval of the board.
They think it an experiment worth trying
and IL it proves successful teachers and
students will be furnished with substan-
tial lunches at cost
After the saloonmen.
Chief of Police Schaeffer is determined
that Oakland's saloon keepers and GAM
blers shall obey the law TO the very letter.
He has begun by ordering iis pa rolmen to
strictly enforce the ordinances which pro-
vide that all saloons shall be closed at
midnight and to arrest evervb body who viO-
la;es that law. Heretofore it has been
nothing unusual to see dimly lighted saloons
in full working order long after midnight.
But ir the patrolmen are inbued with the
same earnestness as their chief, that is a
spectacle which will no longer offend the
law-lOvng citizens.
AS for the gamblers, it is certain that If
they do not practice more caution than
they have given evidence of for some
months many of them will find themselves
in the City Prison. In any event, half a
dozen exciting raids are in order.
