LATEST OAKLAND NEWS,
Plans for the Fireworks on
Lake Merritt on the
Fourth.
THE MUSIC QUESTION SETTLED.
Father Serbia Arranging for Silver
Jubilee-ThoSe Who Will Be
Present.

Oakland is going bravely ahead with its
great Fourth of July celebration Each
day some new ideas are brought up.
Just at the present time the important
! matter under consideration is the fire
works display. The committee in charge
of that factor of the celebration is COM
posed of W. Frank Pierce (chairman), j.
w. Phillips. Frank c. Howe, A Salinger
and r. Crist, The contract for furnishing
the fireworks has been let to the Unex-
celled Fireworks Company. A thousand
dollars will be devoted to fireworks alone,
besides $500 for illumination, incidentals,
etc. The display will be somewhat in the
form of a water carnival. Like at Santa
Cruz the whole affair will take place on
water. Three large RATS viii be anchored
in the center of Lake Merritt, from which
the display will be made There will be
no set pieces.
There will be electric fountains also, or
something so near like them that the diff
ference cannot be discerned. One of the
water companies has signitied its willing
ness to place a system of five fountains
well ont into the lake having sufficient
power to throw the water fifty feet into the
air. On this varicolored lights will be
thrown producing an effect not unlike the
great electrical fountain at the Worlds
Fair
During the display illuminated boats will
dart to and fro, producing unique effect.
All persons having boats are requested to
report to the committee in charge so as to
organize for decorations.
Eight or ten bands will be engaged for
the proce SSion in the morning, besides nu-
merous drum corps. The breach between
the musicians has been settled and every
thing along that line is reported harmoni-
Gus.
Up to date more than $1,000 has been
subscribed A few hundreds more will
make all that is needed.

Will Have to Register.
The State Board of Pharmacy has COM
menced a crusade against the Oakland
druggists. The cause is due to the failure
of the latter to comply with the law,
which says that all practicing pharmacists
shall present their credentials to the board
and receive a certificate of registration.
Secretary of the board John III. Dawson is
in town looking after the matter He
began his work yesterday morning by
having John G. Donaldson, druggist
doing business at IDOL San Pablo avenue,
arrested. Donaldson was charged with a
misdemeanor.
There are a number of prominent drug
gists in this city who will be arrested if
they do not comply with the law in a few
days. Diplomas from all regular phar-
macy colleges are accepted as a proof of
proficiency. Those unable to produce
diplomas are subjected to a rigid examina-
ton as to their knowledge of drugs and
medicines.
Hugh Mannion Located.
Hugh F. Mannion, the Oakland biea-
mist, has been located at the famous sani-
tarium at Hot Springs, Ark. 1t will be
remembered that he is the man who per-
suaded Kate Winslow to forge check of
$500 for him in Stockton and then marry
HIM. It is not known whether his second
wife is with him or not Mannion has not
gotten out of the reach of the law, but it is
thought that his first wife Will not send
for him on account of mourning too great
an expense. His friends believe that he
will return when his money gives out.
Mcnamara Arrested Again.
Colonel E. Mcnamara of the Industrial
Army was arrested again last night. The
charge against him at the City Prison was
criminal libel. The colonel just got out OF
the prison a couple of days ago, where he
had been serving 100 days sentence. He
Immediately mounted the stand at the
City Hall Park and proceeded to speak in
no uncertain terms about the officers in
charge of the prison and the way they run
the place. The police stood it couple of
nights, when they decided to place him
under arrest again. He will be given a
hearing in the Police Court this morning
Lambert Held Sane.
After celebrating from $50 o'clock on
Thursday night until 2:30 YESTERDAY
morning the jury selected to try Walter
Lambert, the defaulting Police Court
clerk on charge of insanity brought in
a verdict to the effect that he was mentally
responsible for his acts. His trial on
charge of embezzlement which was inter-
rupted to allow the insanity case to be
heard, will be resumed on Monday.
