guage of our statute. and the facts were

suase OF our statute, and the facts were
substantially the same. The court said:
Ihe general design Of the Australian
ballot law was the purity of elections,
and to protect the voter and the public
at large from the effects of fraud and
intimidation, and the construction CIV
en- the Act should, if possible, be in
harmony with it's beneficient object. The
right Of no person or party can be pref
udlced by the construction adopted"
(Which will here say is the same con-
Struction as that l have given as to
placing the name of a candidate who
mas received the nomination of more
than one political party. but once on
the ballot) while the rule contended
for" Chat Of placing the name of the
candidate upon the ballot as many
times as he received nominations)
would be liable to abuse, tending to
defeat the object of the statute.
In the smaller subdivisions of the
State the evil resulting from the repi-
tition of names on the official ballot
would be reduced to a minimum, for
the reason that the facts are, as rule,
we'll known, and voters would rarely,
II ever, be deceived thereby. But such
practice, if applied to the State at
large, or the larger subdivisions, as
Congressional districts, may be made
the means of grave fraud and deception.
For example. "A. d. Democrat and "A.
Is. Republican, This appearing on the
official ballot would to the average voter
suggest that the candidate named had
been nominated by two parties. But it
may not to the ignorant and unin-i
termed convey any such meaning. Nor
can we conceive of any object to be
attained by the printing of a name of
a candidate twice or more on the ballot,
unless 1T be to thus secure the support
of electors opposed to FUSION and who,
with knowledge of the facts might
hesitate to cast their votes for such
candidate or candidates."
1t follows that the defendant erred in
placing the name of the said Marion de
NrleS more than once on the same bal
lot which he has had prepared, and that
it is his duty to prepare and have printed
and distributed, as provided by law,
sample ballots bearing the name, under
the proper heading, of the said Marion
de Vries, and the designations of the
political parties by which he has been
nominated, but once, and as follows,
to wit:
Marion de Vries, Democrat -Inde-
pendent-Populist"
Let Judgment be entered accordingly.

FOOT CRUSHED.
Accident to James King on One of ths
Folsom Trains.

James King. who resides near Frank
liz, had his foot severely pinched be-
tween two drawheads on the Folsom
accommodation train on Wednesday
evening, which arrives here at 6:1O
o'clock p. m.
King was passenger on the train,
but had climbed upon one of the fiat
cars loaded with gravel, and when the
train started he was afraid to make
the trip back to the coach at the rear
end of the train. 1t seems from his own
story that he was sitting on the end of
the car, with his foot resting on the
bumper, and when the train slowed
down to enter the city his foot was
caught.
He was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital, and yesterday morning was re-
moved to the County Hospital The
extent of his injuries have not yet been
determined, though it is believed no

SALVATION ARMY.
Lieutenant Harriet WindrOss Tells o.
Her Visit to Ireland.

There was a large meeting at the Sal
walton Army Citadel last night and the
| exercises We're very interesting.
Lieutenant Harriet Windross spoke of
her trip to Ireland, her native land. She
found there, very much as they are
here, sinners, self-righteous, careless
and Indifferent, as we'll as lovers Of the
Lord
She had always loved the open-air
| meetings and attended them there, as
when a fisherman wishes to catch fish
he does not wait for the fish to come to
him, but goes where they are and casts
his net there.
When She spoke of attending the
meeting in Dublin, however, the Cap
tain told her there would be rough
time, and she expected it, as she knew
Dublin We'll When they arrived at the
Custom-house steps they found a num-
Der of policemen there to protect them.
When the soldiers Of the army began to
tell their experience the crowd COM
menced hooting and yelling
The Captain asked her to speak, and
she told him that the crowd made so
much noise they could not hear her, and
he answered that the meeting had been
what he considerd a quiet one When
they left the place the eight or nine SOL
diers were protected by five policemen
on each side, while one marched ahead.
The crowd jeered and hooted at them,
but did not dare to molest them. The
army received even worse treatment in
other places.
She went ninety miles to her old home,
where there was no army, and when she
wanted to speak her friends told her
there would be no protection, and she
did not go. She went to the church,
however, where she met many whom
she had known in her youth, and al
though she found 1T hard to speak to
them, she enjoyed the meeting.
She was glad to get back here, for she
loved this country, and came back to
bring the same message of love she had
spoken before She begged her hearers
to turn to Christ, who was ready to re-
ceive them and grant them salvation, no
matter who they We're, or what their
nationality.

CAMPAIGN IN THIS COUNTY.
Uncertainty as to Whether or Not Reed
Will Come.
Congressman Johnson and County
Candidates to Speak Satur-
day Night.

There is still uncertainty as to what
right Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Maine
will speak in this city, or whether he
will visit here at ALL Possibly the fact
that Sacramento is regarded as sc
overwhelmingly Republican may have
had something to do toward influencing
the State Committee in sending Mr.
Reed to some other place instead.
However, there is a general desire
here to hear the Maine statesman, and
scores or kilograms and letters have
been sent to the Republican State Com
mittee begging that Mr.. Reed be given
date here
Secretary Richardson Of the County
mmittee said yesterday that as moth
ing had been heard from the State
Committee he supposed it was desired
to wait until Mr.. Reed reached San
Francisco and conferred with the COM
mittee before making any further an
nouncements for him. He believed
however, that there was something in
the published statement that Mr.. Reed
would speak in Sacramento the night
before election

oial train after the meeting, or by any

Appeals to Judgment.

Grove L. Johnson in all his speeches
appeals to the judgment of his hear
ers. Those who are opposing him ap-
peal only to prejudice and hatred. Mr..
Johnson pays the people the high COM
pliment of presuming that they are
guided by their reason while those who
are attacking him virtually say that
the people are not capable of thinking
clearly and perceiving the truth, while
their passions are appealed to. Should
Mr.. Johnson be defeated the poor COM
pliment his enemies pay the people will
appear to be verified.-Stockton Inde-

FLAMES ENWRAPPED HER BODY
Mrs. Addie DHts, an Aged Widow of Re-
dondO, Suffering From Fnshtfui

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Nov. N.-Mrs.
Addie Dilts was horribly burned at Re-
dondo this morning, and is not expected
to live. Mrs. Dilts is SO years of age, q
widow, and resides in a small cottage on
Emerald street, Redondo, just opposite the
Congregational Church. With her lives
her five-year-old girl.
The house is segregated from the cluster
of dwellings at Redondo, the nearest habi-
tation being over block away.
1t is not known exactly how the affair
occurred, but it is surmised that Mrs. DiIts'
apron caught fire from a gasoline stove
and ignited her dress before she could
e1tinguish the flames.
The poor woman, though conscious, is
unable to relate any OF the circumstances,
as she rolls in agony on her little cot,
with the skin dropping from her body in
great patches.
The little girl says she heard q scream
from Mrs. Dllts and beheld her rushing
out of rear door toward a hydrant, her
dress In flames. The little one ran to the
nearest neighbor for assistance.
When help arrived Mrs. Dilts was found
rolling in tha pool of water made by the
flowing hydrant. with every vestige OF her
apparel burned from her and few smold-
erlng remnants near by.
The poor woman did nothing but moan
until she was carried to the house, where
she gave vent TO her sufferings in heart
rending shrieks. frequently she cried
out for the doctors TO xiii her, as she could
not stanQ the anguish.

JAMES C. DUNHAM SUED.
Action Brought against the Campbell Mur-
derer BY the Parents of One
of His Victims.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 24-Jacob A.
Shesler and Elizabeth Shesler, parents OF
Minnie Shesler, the domestic who was
killed at the time of the murder of the
McGlincy family, to-day began suit in the
Superior Court against James c. Dunham,
the murderer, for s25, 600 damages.
1t is set forth in the complaint that the
girl was the sole support of her aged
parents, and at the time of her death her
services as domestic were worth $25 per
month, the greater part of which she de-
voted to their support and maintenance.
Miss Shesler was helping her parents to
pay off mortgage on a small home in
this City.
claim of $50 for funeral expenses of
the girl is included in the damages asked.
I plaintiffs aver that by being deprived
of the support of their daughter and her
society, comfort and affection they have
been damaged in the sum of SIS 900. and
ask judgment against the defendant for
that sum and costs of suit.
There IS mortgage of $i400 against the
Penniman Fruit Company in Dunham Is
name, and if judgment is obtained this
will be levied upon. Shortly before the
murder was committed the fugitive or.
dered Attorney Cos to begin foreclosure
proceedings on the mortgage, but nc
action has ever been taken.
