the Prosecuting Attorney shall be after the
Board of Supervisors has once appointed a
man to fill the place.
L. A. Wakeman, who is conceded to be a
capable and successful attorney, and is
now counsel for Holbrook, Merrill & Stet-
son and Madison & Burke, as we'll as sew
eral other firms, is thrown out for Edmund
Patrick Mogan, who is 26 years old and is
not known to have distinguished himself
IN either civil or criminal business. His
cousin, Richard Mogan, boarded for a time
at Supervisor King hotel, however. This
is one OF the strongest points in support OF
the young mans qualifications for the
office of prosecuting attorney in Police
Court 3. Mogan is a Democrat of the
King stripe
J. II. Roberts, who has had great ex-
perlence, both as campaign orator and
lawyer, is asked to vacate his place for Will
liam Merritt Madden. Madden is twenty
eight years old and has lived at 1913 jack
son street since October last, when he
moved from Oakland to this city so that
he could be a candi late for Office. Boss
Burns gave him the nomination for Justice
of the Peace, and Madden was showed
Colonel's pals. Madden has had very lit
tie experience in criminal cases, but is a
clerk for an attorney and sometimes makes
motions for cOntinuances in uncontested
cases.
This solid eight conspiracy is but the
second act in play which began with the
attempt, by the same eight, to cinch the
people with the bitumen ordinance" said
prominent Republican. Now that four
of the board are found to be unsusceptible
to corrupt influences, the solid eight have
determined, if possible, to whip, by means
of retaliation, one of these four into line
and thus have an invincible hand in the
shape of three-quarter majority, which
could pass anything desired over the
Mayors veto.
If one of the four respectable Supervi-
sors drops his oar in the slime with the
solid eight, the ak will be buried in
the same muddy depths, to be
drawn up and welded whenever
there is one vote wanted to carry any
measure which common honesty frowns
upon. If the four respectables stand firm
you may expect to see the ak fall steadily
| till no patronage, except what they them
selves have redistributed, remains to be
used as club against justice and official
honor"
A Republican attorney, who stands high
| in his profession, said, concerning the ap-
pointments in the Police Courts, yester.
| day:
at looks to me as though some of the
attorneys who practice criminal law con.
siderably had usej their influence to have
men appointed that would be easy game
for them. Rumors to that effect are com
mon around the courts, and the power Of
Colonel MaZuma is spoken of as a neces
sary accompaniment to the suspicion
What others possible influence could JUS
tify throwing good men out for men who
are palpably unfit? ?"

TWO LADIES AT OUTS.
Mrs. Jane Strauss Arrested for Disturb
ing the Peace.

Mrs. Emile Bellvali, dressmaker liv-
ing at 420 Geary street, swore out a war
rant in Judge Lows court yesterday morn
ing for the arrest of Mrs. Jane Strauss,
wife of a stockbroker living at the Suther-
land House, corner of Jones and Suffer
streets, on the charge of disturbing the
peace. Mrs. Strauss was arrested, but her
husband promptly secured her release on
depositing $40 cash bail.
According to the statement made by
Mrs. Bellvali she and Mrs. Strauss quar-
relied some months ago. Since then the
landlady at 420 Geary street had received
anonymous letters which referred in a
detrimental way to Mrs. Bellvali's reputa-
ton On Monday Mrs. Strauss called at
42o Geary street and raised a disturbance,
threatening to drive Mrs. Bellvali out OF
the city. The landlady sent out for two
policemen, but they declined to arrest
Mrs. Strauss, as she was only guilty of a
misdemeanor. They advised Mrs. Bell
vail to swear to complaint in the morn
ing, which she did.

A PLUMBERS NOTES.
j. FL. Lane Charged With Attempt
to Defraud His Mother
in-Law.

Mrs. McKeever of 1851 Larkin street
complained yesterday against her son-in-
law, J. H. Lane a plumber, charging him
with attempt to defraud her of $3.50, which
he borrowed from her some time ago.
1t appears from Mrs. McKeever's story
that there has been trouble of long stand
ing in the Lane family, and that a separa-
ton ensued in conseque nee. Before this
time, however, Lane succeeded in borrow
ing $3.50, which Mrs. McKeever had on de-
post, claiming he wanted to increase his
plumbing business. He gave his mother
fn-law several notes, all of which have ma
tured, but when she asked for her money
he repudiated the debt. He further told
her that if she pressed the matter he would
go into insolvency at once.
The Lanes have a child in an Oakland
institution which, Mrs. McKeever says, it
is Lanes intention to kidnap.

the Mechanics Pavilion.
At the Mechanics Pavilion Professor
Gleason kept large audience interested
last night while he tanned wilk, kicking or
sisted in accustoming them to the sounds
of base drum and to gunpowder crackers
plemented by opening UNI brellas suddenly
in their faces. He took three horses noted
for shying, harnessed them together and
drove them over firecrackers, which had no
more effect in disturbing their equanimity
than so many cobblestones.
The performance will be repeated every
evening till next Saturday, when it will
give place to the bench show. At the close
of that exhibition Professor Gleason will
continue to occupy the Pavilion till June l.

THE FARMING WORLD.
LARGE FRUIT CROPS.
70 Bc Secured by Giving Trees Good Care
fhc Fall.

Re Bc Secured by Giving Trees Good Cars
In the Fan.
The way TO secure a large crop OF
fruit next year Is to get the trees ana
vines into condition this fall. Inc
larger share of work with fruit is done
early in the spring, for then the sprsyer
must be used frequently and much
time is necessarily devoted to the de-
struction of insects instead OF 20 the
cultivation of trees and plants. There
is but little work given fruit trees anu
vines during the summer and fall, yet
much can be done that would render
spring work less laborious. In the
obliteration OF grape rot success has
partially attended the spring appilca-
tions of solutions for that purpose, but
the sprayer can do better service until
the crop is harvested than in spring,
as the spores will be easier destroyed.
after the vines are clear of grapes
work can be performed in the endeavor
to rid the ground of the spores by the
free use of lime and the several recog'
uized mixtures for that purpose. When
such matters are deferred until winter
the delay permits Of the frmer estab-
lishment of the spores and their d'stri'
button by rains snd winds.
1t requires large amount " water
TO dissolve some fertilizers, especially
phosphates in the form of bone, meal
or Carolina rock that has not been
calculated. The fall is an excellent
time to apply such, and their apl'lica-
ton ia beneficial to trees and vines,
which are believed to store up certain
substances that are utilized for the
formation of fruit during the spring or
bearing season. Experimenters with
straw berries have found summer and
fall applications of fertilizers to the
plants of great assistance in increasing
the yield and quality of berries the
following spring, and on plat which
produced at the rate of nearly 5000
quarts per acre this season the heaviest
application of fertilizers was male the
PREVIOUS summer. The practice of
abandoning the fruit fields until the
growing season again al ives is To lose
