pet dog trotting at her side and carrvin0
her professional satchel. She has been in
California since 1855, and has, in times
past, done considerable for the advance
ment OF the cause OF woman suffrage in
this State
Mrs. Myra Knox, the only woman who
ever held seat in the Board of Education
in Alameda County, has already shown nv
her firm stand in favor of rational educa-
ton and up-to-date methods in the public
schools that she is worthy of being c1assed
with the new woman. She is fuil-fledged
N. D., having graduated from Cooper
Medical College in 1884 and practiced her
profession in Oakland ever since that time.
Mrs. Knox is not inclined to talk of her
SELF, fearing TO appear to court notoriety
but is considered by her friends, acauaint,
ances and fellow-members on the board an
exceptionally bright woman with decided
opinions of her own and an entire lack of
fear Of bringing them to light when oc-
casion demands.
1t was entirely at the solicitation of
friends and in no way of her own volition
that she became candidate for the i'm
portant Office which she now holds.
She had as opponents Mrs. DR.. Kellogg
Lane, Mrs. Bonnell and Mrs. Borland, But
was able to obtain the endorsement of ali
the parties having tickets in the field in
Alameda County except that of the Pro-
hibitionists.
That the people believed that she would
make a bright and clean official is evil
denced by the fact that only one among
the twelve successful candidates, Colonel
Edwards. received more votes than Mrs.
Knox.
She was left widow sixteen wears ago
and has two children whom she has cared
for and educated since the death of her
husband, one of them being now student
at the University of California.
One of the best-known women in the
country is Mrs. Sarah Campbell Sanford,

The bicycle races between five teams
from various business houses of this City

cided to run the race then. A meeting
will be held early this week to decide when
the race shall be run off.
The Oiympics did not ride to San Carlos
to-day and their man. j. &. Edwards, who
intended to try for the worlds five-mile
road record from San Mateo to San Carlos,
did not attempt it, owing to the high south

BERKELEY.

a special memorial service was held last
evening in the First Congregational
Church, at which the veterans of the Civil
War comprising Lookout Mountain Post
and their auxiliary. the Women's Relief
Corps, were in attendance. The church
was well filled and the pastor, Rev. George
B. Hatch, preached sermon appropriate
to the occasion.
Annexation Difficulty.
A hot fight in local political circles is
about to take place over the annexation of
Lorin and Ashby, or that part of town be-
low the old charter line, to Berkeley. On
the day of the annexation election several
people residing south of the proposed
new line presented themselves to vote and
were not allowed to do So Soon after
the election a portion of town extend
ing several hundred feet south of
the new line was taken in, and
it is now said that enough voters could
have been found in that territory to de-
feat the annexation election, which was
carried by only six votes.
After a time the south line sewer was
laid, and the opponents of the annexation
saw their opportunity OF raising an objection
to the assessment which was leviid, and as
the two years time, as fixed by law, for
the payment of such an assessment is
nearly expired, those who claim they were
illegally annexed will fight for their
rights.
Another condition which will play an
important part in the struggle is the open
ing of saloon on the line of the railroad,
south of Ashby avenue. The saloon
keeper claims that he does not need a
municipal license in order to conduct his
business, and will open without one.
Town Trustees.
The Board of Town Trustees will meet
tonight to consider the question of COM
bining the offices of Marshal and Superin-
tendent of Streets and to appoint several
subordinate officers to serve during the
next two years.
AFTER tonight the board will meet upon
alternate Friday evenings, as decided upon
at their last meeting, instead of every Mon
day evening as was the custom of the for
mer board.

line. when it would be taken away from

tho Stsnfords.
TAT Los Angeles We were at disad
vantage. The climate wac warm and
our team was oppressed by it. We
could not get the quick, snappy play
that practically won for US the game on
Christmas. The ground was very heavy
and made our interference just slow
enough for the opposite tackles to break
il up before our runners could pass tn o

team played herd gamo on the 29th.
They went IN with reckless deter
