Be Ratified Next
Saturday.
Republicans All Through Cali.
fornia Will Blow the
Horn of Joy.
GOOD DEMOCRATS WELCOMED.
Market Street Will Blaze With Pa
triotic Fire and Ring With
Loyal Music.

Republicans will celebrate their glorious
victory over crankism. anarchism and
demagogy by a torchlight procession,
parade and iollifcstion meeting Under
the auspices of the Mckinley Invincibles
next Saturday night.
The parade will be made up of the uni
formed clubs which have done so much
during the campaign to enliven meetings
and turnouts. Loyal citizens not in uni
form are invited to take part and whoop
up things in patriotic style. The parade
will form on New Montgomery street in
front of the headquarters of the Republi-
can State Central Committee, and will
march up Market street for about half or
three-quarters of mile, with torches,
Roman candles and other fireworks to
assist in imparting a ruddy glare to the
SURROUNDINGS TIN horns will be blown,
also, to lacerate the feelings of the de-
fe ated.
At the Auditorium there will be singing
by Sam Booth and the quartet, music by
the band, and short, very short, speeches.
On the same evening" by request of the
Republican State Central Committee,
there will be parades and meetings in
every city in the State. The Republican
party is big one, and it will not be salts
fed with painting the town red; 1t will
paint the whole State scarlet with Joy.
The National Republican League held
meeting last night at "a Fourth street for
the purpose of arranging Tor the blowout
in this City. q. q. Dodge presided, and
c. B. Tidban occupied the secretary's
chair.
Shortly before the meeting was called
TO order Colonel George Stone, grand mar
shall of the magnificent parade of last
Saturday, came in and was warmly con-
graduated by the league on the admiral bic
manner in which he had arranged and
carried out the details of the affair. He
said he had not had half a nights sleep p
since Sunday, was tired, and was glad that
he was tired, inasmuch as the cause of his
fatigue was his sitting up to receive the
election returns announcing the success of
his personal friend, Major Mckinley.
The meeting was rather informal, and
nothing was done beyond electing Colonel
Sumner grand marshal, on motion of
Colonel Stone. The details of the iollifca-
tion were left with the State Central Com
mittee.
The State Central Committee yesterday
afternoon sent to the chairmen of all the
county committees telegram, of which
the following is copy:
We recommend that celebration and rati-
fcation of the glorious victory achieved by
the Republican party be held throughout the
State on Saturday evening, 7th inst. We urge
you to take all necessary steps to watch the
canvass before the Supervisors. Very truly
yours, FRANK MCLAUGHLIN, Chairman.

MOTHER TAKES POISON.
Mrs. Margaret West Commits
Suicide by Taking Rough
on Rats.
Despondent Through Her Husbands
Neglect-Leaves Three Daughters
and One Son.

Mrs. Margaret West, AZ years of age, wife
of Charles Wes, stevedore residing at
721 Twenty-frst street, between Valencia
and Guerrero, died last evening in her
home from the effects of a dose OF rough
on rats taken in the morning with suicidal
intent.
Mrs. West was the mother of three
daughters and one son. According to the
statements of the oldest daughter the hus-
band of the deceased had been neglsctlng
his wife for several we ks and she became
respondent.
Yesterday morning she purchased
box of rough on rats. and retiring to her
room took large dose.
A few moments after Mrs. West had
taken the poison, she was discovered by
her daughter in convulsions.
The distracted children administered
large draughts of milk, but as 1t appeared
to do little good a physician was sum-
moned.
He worked over the dying woman for
several hours. but the action of he poison
could not be counteracted and death took
place al o'clock.
The Coroner was notified, and Deputy
Coroners Hallet and Smith took charge of
the body.

mia Bank, 1--WE have had a great many
more deposits since McKinley's election.
1t seems to have inspired confidence.
"If Bryan had been elected prosperity
would have been postponed for several
years. There has been run on the banks
ever since his nomination. There is no
use In denying that Everybody knows it.
"This feeling of impending disaster
would probably have become more inten-
sifed if Bryan had been elected, espe-
cially among the more timid classes"
G. S. Capp, the real estate agent at 415k
Montgomery street, is quite enthusiastic
over the election returns. II believe that
the results as SHOWN will benefit this CITY.
State and country in no small degree, he
said. Money has been tied up in our
savings banks for very long time and in
the past two days, since McKinley's elec-
ton, it is an assured fact it has been
loosening up. l hear of inquiries now for
investment, thing comparatively un-
known before election day. 1 truly be-
Heve there is an era of prosperity now
ahead of us. ="

THE GRAND JURY PATROL
Election Clerk Caught and In
dicted for Comm tting
Fraud.
Several "Kitties" Were Demolished.
A Bottle of Whisky Was
Confiscated.

The Grand Jury, divided into blocks of
two, made the rounds of the voting pre-
cincts Tuesday and Wednesday nights
and rendered service in the cause of purity
of election. One election clerk, Patrick F.
Roberts, in the Tenth Precinct of the
Thirty-thIrd Assembly District. was
caught in the very act of skipping the
name of James A. Mcguire for Congress.
The omission was observed by William L.
Ashe and Harry W. Goodall, members of
the Grand Jury, who were looking over
his shoulder. The first time that Ma
guire's name was skipped the suspicion of
the watchers was aroused, but nothing
was said until the offense was repeated.
When the grand jurors became convinced
that the clerk was deliberately commit
ting fraud, they had him arrested on the
spot.
A special meeting Of the Grand Jury
was convened Wednesday afternoon, and
on the testimony presented Roberts was
indicted for felony.
At one of the precincts south of Market
street a member OF the Grand Jury OBJ
served cigar box was being used as a
kitty" He called the attention of the
judges and inspectors of election to the
open violation of the law and SAID, "The
box must be removed"
One OF the officers replied with indig ma
ton, sit will not be removed" The grand
juror did not waste words, but instantly
tore the box IRON its fastenirigs and
smashed it with his foot. the protesting
election officer sprang toward the Juror
with a pretense of fighting, but his asso-
ciates caught him. The demolished
kitty" contained the sum OF so cents,
which was turned over to the policeman
at the booth. In three other precincts
''kitties" were removed.
In one of the hill booths of the Forty
third Assembly District Henry Durbrow
and Edward B. Cutler, members of the
Grand Jury. found bottle OF whisky with
the cork started. 1t was carefully
wrapped in paper and placed in the cor
ner. Attention was called to the violation
of the law and the name OF the owner
called for None of the election officers
would acknowledge ownership and the
whisky was seized. Mr.. Cutler knows the
owner and will return the confscated
liquor to-day.
In many places the election off GERS were
on the lookout for the Grand Jury. The
knowledge that night patrol of the pre-
cinct voting places were IN contem plation
kept many of the clerks on their good be-
havior. The members of the Grand Jury
were tavorably impressed with the intelli-
gence and good conduct of the election Of
tcers and clerks. The material was of
higher grade than they expected to find
Several members OF the Grand Jury
believe that change should be made in
the election law requiring the ballots TO be
taken out of the box every hour and
counted. The new system IN light cause
some additional expense, but it is con-
tended that much of the delay, confusion
and carelessness incident to handling and
counting the ballots at night would be
obviated. The crooked work is mainly
done in the early hours OF the morning be-
tween and o'clock. when the clerks are
weary and the watchers off their guard.

After considerable discussion it was

EDUCATIONAL JOURNAL.
The question of selecting an official ed
ucational journal for the ensuing year
was next taken up, and there being three
applicants for the honor, the representa-
tive of each publication was invited to
address the board, though being limited
to five minutes.
A. B. Coffee, editor of the Pacific
Educational Journal" took the floor
and asked that the periodical published
by himself be continued as the official
journal Of the State Board of Educa-
tiOn. Mr.. Coffee stated that he had
long been connected with the public
schools in the State, and if his journal
was selected would do all in his power
to keep the publication up to the stand
ard by securing the services Of we'll
known educational writers.
The Overland Monthly was repre-
sented by Editor Wildman, who stated
welcome visitor in many of the public
schools in every county in the State.
1t was his intention, provided the
overland Monthly" was selected as the
official journal, to add sixteen to the 12O
pages of the publication, and devote the
space SO added exclusively to matters
CT education In other words, there
would be eight forms instead of seven
in the publication, and the proposed
addition would contain about 10000
words.
AS to the contributors, Mr.. Wildman
assured the board, the best material on
the coast would be employed, and it
should be his aim to suit the board
and the patrons Of education through
out the State He proposed laying
down in each of the 5000 school dis
tricts in the State not only first
| class educational journal, but also one
| of the best magazines in the United
States, and at one-half the price of the
regular subscription
Harr Wagner editor of the western
School Journal" also spoke in favor of
his publication. He said everyone was
familiar with the publication and knew
| that it was entirely devoted to the
| cause of educa tion

AT the conclusion of Mr. Wagner's re-

OTHER NORMAL SCHOOLS
In consideration Of the fact, which
was brought up fcr discussion, that the
Normal Schools of California have a
course Of study covering four years of
work, Mr.. Pierce offered the following
resolution, which it was thought would
cover the ground:
Resolved, That the President of the
Board be authorized to appoint a COM
mittee of three to examine the manuals
OF the different State Normal Schools
of the United States and determine
which of said schools. in their judg-
ments, have courses of study equivalent
to that pursued in the State Normal
Schools of California; and further, that
this board recommend to the County
Boards of Education to grant grammar
grade certificates to such Normal
School graduates from other States
only as hold diplomas from State Nor
NAL Schools whose courses OF study
cover an amount of work equivalent to
that pursued in the State Normal
Schools of California.
The resolution was adopted, and
Messrs. Pierce, Pennall and Childs ap-
pointed as a committee.
A petition from ]. S. Hennessy OF
Grass Valley asking that high school
diploma be granted him was taken W
and denied, it appearing that Mr.. Hen
messy has never been employed in high
school work. and therefore could not be
given a high school diploma upon his
grammar school certificate.
