Absurd Stories About Governor Aftgeid
Reiuted.

Refuted.
Chicago Aug. 24.-Eix-Congressma VIII
liam S. Forman has written Governor
Altgeld a sensational open letter in which
he makes various charges .l recklessness
in the Doodling Of state money and Dr.
clares that ne as a democrat cannot sup
port the governor for reelection. Among
other questions MI. Forman asks the gov
ernOr:
'Why did you place the price of l1onaf-
nation as state treasurer at the Peoria
convention at $4,000, the money to be
used to help your reelection?
*Why did you borrow $4,000 to $4,000
Of Rufus Ramsey, state treasurer, now
deceased, without paying interest?
What became of your bills, if there
We're any. between the time of the Off
cial sealing Of the treasury vaults after
Ra n1sey's death and the opening Of the
same when a successor was ramed"'
Mr.. Forman cites instances in which
Altgeld has borrowed hundreds of thou
sands of dollars TO run the state insti-
tutions, paying as high as per cent in
tersst, and asks: "Out Of what appro-
priations have you paid the thousands Of
dollars Of interest, Or, to be more ex-
tplicit, under what appropriation do YOU
propose to cover it up?'
The letter declares that the governor
has practically wrecked the democratic
party in Illinois.

BERKELEY, CALL, July 15.-Samuel
Wakeham, the keeper of a paintstore in
Berkeley and lover of curiosities, has
found use for the cabbage stalks which he
is growing in his back yard and will turn
them into walking -canes. Wakeham is

riety short time ago through exhibiting
in front OF his establishment on Shattuck

those made of Congo wood, but are not so
bulky. In color they are much lighter,
being OF a delicate tan hue. Wakeham
expects big rush after them by curiosity
seekers as soon as college opens.

FIRE IN BERKELEY.
Job HatfeId's House Burned to tn

Job HatfeId's House Burned to the
Ground.
BERKELEY, CAL, July 15.-The house
of Job Hatfield, contractor Employed in
San Francisco, situated high up in the
hills behind Berkeley, was burned to the
ground this evening.
The fire was discovered about O'Clock,
and an alarm was at once turned in at the
Colum bia Fire Company. 1t was impossi-
bic to reach the scene with the fire sppar-
atus, however, and the firemen confined
their efforts to saving furniture.
The fire was first observed by Mrs. Hat
field. who found the basement of the
dwelling full of smoke. Ascending the
stairs she discovered that the flames had
already reached the upper stories and all
efforts to contest their progress were un-
awaiting.
1t is thought that an oil stove was the
cause of the fire.
Mr.. Hatfield's residence was at the cor
ner of Cedar street and Bonte avenue. 1t
was valued at $500 and was partially in
sured. The dwelling was occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Hatfield and their children, who
spent the night after the fire with neigh

made by Master Car Repairer Ludlow of
the Southern Pacific. Mr.. Ludlow said to-
day that the result of the test proves that
the Ohio man will assuredlY be the next
President.
Mr.. Ludlow places great faith in nature.
He believes that any question asked her
will be truthfully answered. His method
of procedure is somewhat unique, but he
insists that it is logical and based upon
correct conclusions.
When Mckinley was nominated. Mr..
Ludlow was anxious to know whether his
election was certain. The man who has
repaired all the cars of the great corpora
ton for an ordinary lifetime is pro-
nounced protectionist. He was very en-
thusiastic over Mckinley and when the
st. Louis nomination was made he could
not PATIENTLY wait to know what next
November would produce. He decided to
consult nature.
AS soon as his days work was done Mr..
Ludlow prepared section of his garden
and marked out the word mckinley" in
trenches. Into these he sowed alternan-
thera seeds and all around it he planted
green moss.
He then muttered some incantatiors and
said, "if he is to be elected, those seeds
will all start up and the name of the next
President Will soon appear in red on
green background"
In few days the young plants shot
through the soil and looked healthy.
"When the Chicago convention met" said
Mr.. Ludlow to-day, "they seemed to hest
tate and was somewhat Respondent bout
t he success of my man. When. however
the Democrats fairly got down to business
and the free silver shouts reached the
West. the plants lifted their heads. When
went to look at them on the morning
after the nomination of Bryan saw they
had grown nearly an inch in the night.
81 consider that these facts augur most
favorsbly, and feel confident of success
for my candidate. 1 know I am right.
You can always depend upon nature to do
the proper thing at the proper time"

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 BROADWAY, July 10.
The quiet little town of San Lorenzo is
busy discussing an elopement. One of its
fairest bellies named Mamie Ross disap-
peared Monday afternoon. As San Lo-
renzo is like one large family the loss of
one of its members is at once the business
of the whole community.
Next morning it was also discovered
that Thomas LAWN of San Leandro was
missing. LAWN is the farmer employed
at the County lnfrmary, and is a very
industrious, steady young man. 1t was
known that he had made few calls on
Miss Ross, but a marriage was not anticipa-
ted. Both parties live with their respective
mothers and are highly respected.
Tuesday morning the news was received
that Mr.. and Mrs. LAWN were living at
the groom's mothers house in San
Leandro. They had met in Oakland and
were quietly married and no ones consent
was asked.
Monday night Miss Ross big brother
went on hunt in mood that BODIED 10
good to any one who might cross him.
He came home late, but refused to talk,
and it is supposed that he discovered the
elopement and thought he had better keep
his hands of.
Mrs. Ross said tonight that Mamie il
in good hands and that her only grievance
is that she was not asked to give her con-
sent.
All parties concerned will bury the
Ratchet in few days and San Lorenzo's
ephemeral sensation will be but memory,

sos Broadway, July 10.
This was an unIucky day for shipping
on the estuary. AS the schooner Mary
Buhne was trying to dock at Webster
street wharf she started q series of accl-
dents that left the schooner Paul and
Willie a helpless wreck, threatening de-
struction to the drawbridge.
The Paul and Willie was leaving the
wharf as the Mary Buhne approached.
Somehow the two craft locGed booms and
the Mary Buhne plowed along the rail of
the Paul and Willie, leaving destruction
in her wake. The latter's boom was
snapped off and her mooring being loos-
ened she drifted fast down on to the Web
ster-street drawbridge.
The punch she gave the bridge disturbed
the tender and he climbed upon the bridge
and created a dramatic scene with a
Ratchet. He knew that few good drives
would destroy the bridge and throw him
out of job, so be vigorously chopped
away at the sehooner's stays and when he
was through nothing was left standing but
the masts. The Mary Buhne got off
easily and locked in safety.
A large barge broke away from its moor
ings this afternoon and fioated on the tide
through the drawbridge. 1t was right in
the way of the large ship Craigmore that
was towing out, and collision was only
ayerted by Charles Chambers, Waterman
at the Adams wharf. Chambers and two
companions worked for two hours towing
the barge to place of safety and they
declare that unless they are recompensed
they will claim the barge for salvage.
