A Sacramento Valley rlan Who Does
Not Read the Papers.

The following extract from San
Francisco paper will show that there are
still men in the interior who do not read
the papers:
William MahoOd, countryman from
the Sacramento Valley. who never
reads the papers, was introduced to the
ancient lock game this morning and the
experience cost him $35-all the money
he had. Mahood is stopping at the New
Western Hotel. This morning he went
out for walk and fell in with three
strangers, who took him to Jefferson
Square, where they produced the lock
and won his money. Mahood made a
fuss and tried to seize the man with
the coin, when a fourth man came to
their assistance and exhibiting a Dep
Lty Sheriff's badge, threatened to ar
rest Mahood for disturbing the peace.
The arrival of police officer resulted
in the arrest of the spurious Deputy
Sheriff, but his accompllces made their
escape with the money.
At police headquarters the prisoner
gave the name of Theodore Yeager. He
is known to the police, having been ar
rested some time ago for completely in
a real estate swindle On that charge,
hoWever, he was acquitted. The police
booked Yeager as u vagrant and for
perSOnating an officer.

QUITE AN ADDITION.
More Business Men Unite With the
Chamber of Commerce.

Louis Brenner, who the other night,
at the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce advocated j vigorous canvass
and the taking of action to awaken
fresh interest, started out yesterday
with T. l.. Enright to reduce his theory
to practice.
They succeeded admirably, too, as the
list showed when they quit for the day,
the followingnames having been added
to the roll: L. G.. Siller, James Seadler,
Frank Ruhstaller, II. I. Seymour, P.
s. Driver, j. c. Boyd, s. ]. Jackson, Gus

wise, etc. If these officials will just con-
slider the suggestions of the Chamber
of Commerce that should emanate from
that body as a true indication of the
beating pulse and wants of this city ana
county, and act in a unity of spirit, they
need not fear any indictments. Other
cities of less Importance than our sac
ramento don't stop and whine about
their present indebtedness, but II they
need a new City Hall, a County Court
house, a perfect sewerage system,
supply of pure water, new wharves III
on navigable Stream) as we are, the
latest improved streets and roads, a
convenient and central market site,
they submit it to their citizens, go ahead,
issue bonds, create all these varied
improvements that tend to make city S
growth notable, increase its business,
population, and the roll of taxable prop
erty is soon increased and rates made
lower.
If we wait for all these wanted i'm
provements to come to us till the city
is free of debt, you may wait another
decade, and the present children of the
city will have taken your places to COM
mence the work left undone by this
generation.
like the spirit of L. E. Breuner's re-
ported remarks, made at the Chamber
OF Commerce meeting. We need, as he
says, Chamber of Commerce rooms that
will be inviting, where public meetings
can be held and strangers visiting our
city may meet our people. The present
location is too small and not inviting
No land colony business or any other
should have it's office in the same rooms.
No show of favoritisln of any combina-
ton or clique for personal motives or
gain should be tolerated in a work of so
much public Importance. The member
ship should be more from the masses
in every avocation of life, and with fire.
Quent called public meetings of members
as suggested, greater interest will be
soon noticeable, and the Sacramento
Chamber of Commerce will attain the
full objects of its organization.

A DISGRACE IN OHIO.

The Judges OF election in all precincts
in Wood County will haye a duty to
perform which will not be very pleas
ant. The Republican elector in the
18th district-William X. Miller
resigned (since died) and his son,
Chas. Russell Miller, has been duly
appointed in his place. The name has
by order of Secretary of State been
printed on "pasters" and must be
pasted over the name of William K.
Miller on each ticket given out to the
voter.-Perrysburg Journal.
And all this is done for the Republi-
can party whose Secretary of State and
Supreme Court refused TO take the Pop
ulist ticket off the official ballot,
although the Populist demanded it and
the only candidate on it resigned. II

The most valuable piece of glass in
the world will soon be brought to Chi
cago. 1t will not come as freight nor
as express. No, indeed; it is far toe
valuable for that. II will ride in the
center OF q parlor car and be guarded
night and day on its journey from Cam
bridge, Mass, by four meu. For its fur
ther protection it will be first wrapped
In flannel and packed in curled hair al
the center of a strong box. Then this
box will be packed in large box filled
with excelsior and set on springs so that
the motion of the train will not jar the
precious glass.
This piece OF glass is the finest and
largest telescope lens in the world, and
it will be placed in the new Chicago
university observatory at Lake Geneva,
Wis. The maSlngs of such lens is a
very great task, and only one man in
the world, Prof Alvin Clark, OF Cam.
bridge, Mass. can be trusted to do il.
In the first place a perfect piece of glass
OF the shape desired has to be secured.
There must not he a bubble OF air or a
crack anywhere in it. No American
mandatory can do the fine work nee
essary. so the glass for the great lens
had to be brought from Paris at cost
of over $4,000 Then Prof. Clark began
rubbing and polishing and testing the
glass, and that took him almost three
years-think of it. AS the lens now
stands it is three inches thick in its
thickest part, nearly four feet across,
and weighs, ready for shipment, 1000
pounds. Although it cost 500, 900, but
who can tell what marvellous things the
will ind with it when they
turn it on the heavens.
Perhaps they will be able to prove
that Mars is really inhabited aud-but
no one knows OF the wonders that may

Add to this an estimate of 5000 from

GLOW IL was donep and II told you
so, p" are the subjects Of many conversa-
tens for few days attor such great
political contest as that through which
we have just passed, and it frequently
occurs that the fellow who does the
most talking knows the least about the
situation.
There was much talk among certain
people that Wood county would furnish
plurality of 1900 for Mckinley, but
those who were best posted on the sit
uation did not believe any such figures
would appear.
The Free Lance just before it sang
its death song last Saturday attempted
to rub it in on Bro. Brewer of the SEN
tinel because his "6ggers" were so
badly off, but when it is understood
that MIR. Brewer based his calculations
on reports made to the Central Com
mittee it will be seen that the Colonel
was himself deceived by those in whom
he placed confidence. We happen to
know that the first figures given by
committeeman from all parts of the
county gave Mckinley 17l5 plurality in
the county. The Colonel used every
endeavor to have those figures revised,
believing as he did that they were not
correct. We are not acting as the
champion OF Mr.. Brewer or any other
member OF the Wood county Republi-
can committees, but what we desire is
to impress upon the minds of the Repuo-
licans in various townships the appoint
ment of Central Committeeman who
understand the work and who
are not afraid to put their
shoulders to the wheel and
work HONESTLY for the success of the
entire ticket. Had such men been
appointed throughout the entire county,
better work would have been done and
better results produced. 1.-THE commit
tee in all parts of the county had done
their work as it was done in some parts
a Thousand from Wood" would have
been possible, but under the circum-
stances 700 are mighty big figures.
Mr.. Brewer told the JOURNAL that
he anticipated losses in several parts of
the county and was looking to Perrys.
burg and few other townships to
make up the losses of other localities.
Perrysburg responded and Chairman
Brewer and all others have been pro-
fuse in their praises of the efforts of
the Republicans here. A glance at the
table published elsewhere will soon
show where the shortage is located
In some OF those localities we know
that the committeeman did their best,
yet that shortage comes from townships
where better things were eXpected-179
coming from Henry township alone.

gratuatiens to Major Mckinley is this

1t is u pleasure TO observe improve
ments that are being made in any local
ity, but there is such thing as doing
work IN a manner that is an injury to
the general public. An example is the
work that is now being done along the
Oregon road. The ditch along the road
is being deepened and widened and the
earth thrown upon the road in such
manner that it has made the road almost
impossible. There is much travel
on this road and in its present condi-
tion it Is great injury to the adjoining
land owners as well as hundreds of
others who must do their hauling over
this thoroughfare. The officials under
whose supervision this work is being
done should see that the roadbed is prop
erly leyclcd and put in proper condition
for travel before freezing weather sets
in. While it may have been necessary
10 deepen the ditch there is certainly no
reason why the road should be made
impassable for the winter season.

The JOURNAL has never posed as a
political prophet, but the few bets made
by its editor were on figures AS follows:
The State for Mckinley by $4,000;
Wood county for Mckinley by $50, and
that Mckinley would have 80 electoral
votes more than was necessary to elect
How far from the figures were we?
Wood county gives Mckinley 5s votes
more than our figures; the State gives
him about 1000 more, and he has about
20 more electoral votes than we figured.
