interest at this time among Republican
politicians. The stand taken at the con-
Vention by Senator Earl in the interest of
Charles Mautaen of the Sixth Ward has
complicated matters, as Earl was most
decidedly an anti-Mautalen man all
through the past TWO years, during which
time Mautalen has been chairman of the
County Committee.
1t was made known to-day that whole
sale changes in the County Committee
were contemplated, but they were blocked
by J. W. Evans of the Seventh Ward. 1t
was proposed to put in the committee
William G. Henshaw of the Seventh, Vic
tor II. Metcalf of the Fifth and w. II.
Cnickering of the Third. These men
would have been a tower of strength to
the committee, as all are influential sue
cessful business men of suca financial
standing that under no circumstances
would politics be anything but q second
ary consideration to them, not one of
them ever having shown a desire for
office. This plan, however, was prevented
by Mr.. Evans, who said: 81 am anxious
TO succeed myself on the committee. /
have taken a definite stand during the
past two years, and / want to have an
other term as an indorse ment, if nothing
else, of my past record" Evans was
elected from the Seventh and the changes
were not made.
When the convention by q narrow
majority refused to indorse Chairman
Mautalen there was every appearance of
deadlock, and Senator Earl came to the
rescue.
Something had to be DONE" said the
Senator, to-day, ''and feared that if the
Sixth Wards choice was not ind orsed they
would bolt the convention. That would
have complicated matters very seriously.
and would have resulted in two years
more of ouarreling, such as we have had
in the past. AT this time there is more
harmony in the Republican party in this
county than we have had for long time,
and l did not want to see anybody walk
out of the convention. Concessions had
been made from all parties, and 1t would
have been very foolish TO have ended In an
uproar. | have been roundly, abused for
my speech which harmonized the conven-
ton, but that is the fate of man who
goes to a convention.
f. J. Fletta, Town Trustee of Alameda,
and ]. w. Evans are the candidates of the
| new County Committee, which meets on
Saturday. The mem bers OF the old COM
mittee are in favor of Fletta, while the
new members want Evans, and the fate of
each is in doubt.
The disagreement among the fusion
people in the Forty-eighth Assembly Dis
trict has made it practically certain that
r. W. Leavitt, the Republican nominee,
will have walk-over. The Democrats,
who were given that district by She Popu-
lists, put up Hiram Luttrell and w. A,
Ralston. As neither could get the nomi-
nation Nj. ]. O'Gara was substituted, and
now there Is confusion all around and

When Past Master n. w. Spaulding de-
livered the eulogy this afternoon at the
head of he bier on which lay the remains
of DR.. E. H. Pardee, there was gathered

In the dimly lighted chamber the Sir
Knights stood around the casket while

the word TO the quartet and "Our Days
Areas a Shadow" was expressively sung.

veloper of the city of Oakland for more
than quarter of century. In the early
part of his life he aided materially 10 build
the city. 1nere can De no more attractive
life than 10 have a share in the building OF
city. While Councilman his integrity,
honesty and fearlessness asserted them
selves, and during his terms of office as
Mayor his influence was all directed
toward improvement. He was literally
an opener OF blind eyes. the bringer back
of sight 10 many who had lost his price

the l4-year-old child whose mother OBJ
lects to her marrying man three times
her age, will not do so until the matter of
her guardianship is settled, October Is, or
at least that was the pledge of her attor-
ney to-day when the return was made
upon the writ of habeas corpus sued out
by Maria ]. Furtado against Manuel
Azeredo and wife requiring them to pro-
duce the child in court.
The attorney for Azeredo claimed the
child was not restrained, but remained
with the family out OF choice. The court
refused to act on this showing. The
Society fer Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren, however, held that there was an
effort being made to get the child out of
the jurisdiction of the court and marry her
to this man, who was paying the family TO
get her for him. On this they held it was
case in which the court should interfere.
The matter went over until October 5.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, June 16, 1865
The daily mean temperature Of the
past week was from to degrees be-
low the seasonal normal, and the
sunshine was less than the average.
The rainfall was unequally distribut-
ed; but all sections received an ample
supply, and some localities still re-
port an excess of moisture.
The lower temperature has been
beneficial in checking the tendency
Of oats, wheat and barley to rust and
lodge, from which these crops have
been materially damaged in all sec.
tions of the state.
Considerable progress has been
made in cleaning the corn fields, and
the crop is doing fairly well in vel
drained fields. The planting season
has covered period of over six weeks
and there is wide range in the size
and general condition of the plant.
Glover cutting is in progress in al
districts, and some timothy meadows
have been cut. Glover is heavy, and
new meadows have been cut. Glove,
is heavy, and new meadows general
~ promise liberal yield of hay. All
reports indicate light crop in the
old meadows. Potatoes and pasture
are heavy.
