Tom WATSON was about the most
freakish misft that the Pops. could
have selected for second place on the
Presidential ticket. He and Bryan
don't match any closer than a porcu.
pine and a turtle dove. Watson
made fun in congress of about every.
thing and everybody, Bryan among
the rest. Quoting one of Bryan's rhet'
orical efforts, be said: "That is beau.
tiiul, 1t is like the old fish trap,
with one mouth down the stream and
the other up, aud it catches 'em
a-cOmin' and a.gwine. In his pa.
per just before the recent Populist
convention, Watson published this
card; "The fact that my name has
been mentioned in that connection
makes it proper for me to say that
under no circumstances will accept
the nomination for either place upon
the national ticket of our party.'
That card makes no difference to
Watson. He accepts the nomination
as a matter of course. -FrankIir

The w. C. T. U. Joins the
Crusade Against All-Fools'
Night.
But the Management Says 1t Will
Be Celebrated Just the
Same.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 19.-The
w. C. T. U. of Southern California, follow
ing the example of the conference of the
M. E. Church South, has passed resolu-
tions protesting against La Fiesta as now
conducted, especially the feature of it
known as ''all-fools' night.
Notwithstanding the protests of tn ese
good people the managers of La Fiesta are
going right ahead with preparations for
the carnival and they say the prospects
for its success are most excellent.
Nearly S25. 900 has been subscribed for
the work, floats are being constructed
under the direction of the artist who for
years past has designed the spectacular
features of the New Orleans Mardi Gras
being made on an elaborate scale.
The principal afternoon parade will be
typical of the resources, progress and de-
velopment of Southern California. The
subject of the principal night parade will
be LANDS of the Sum- which, if expecta-
tions are realized, will be the most gor-
geous pageant ever seen on the Pacific
Coast.
Among the distinguished guests who
have signified their intention to be pres
ent are Governor Budd and staff and Colo
mel Shafter and staff of the regular army.
Mayor Sutro has sent his regrets.
The marines and officers of three Ameri-
can men-of-war are expected to take part
in the festivities. The local battalion of
naval reserve and entire Southern brigade
OF n. g. G. will take part in the parades.

SUNDERLAND ELOPEMEKT.
The Advocate's Dashing Editor Runs
Away With a FruH Com

Los ANGELES, CAL, March 19.-Pub-
hc opinion is no longer nodded by Den
man Y. Ashmun at Summerland, little
town few miles out from Santa Barbara.
Ashmun, editor and proprietor OF the
oummerland Advocate, according to. his
wife's statement, is speeding across the
country en- route to Mobile, Ala, accom-
panied by woman not his wife. Mrs.
Ashmun is in the city looking for her rum
away husband. She is brunette, tall and
handsome, and has three children. the
eldest about 5 years old. She returned
only recently from visit to Arizona.
1t seems that during Mrs. Ashmun's alb
sence woman named "Mollie" gained
full possession of the editors affections.
This fact was disclosed to Mrs. Ashmun
through some of her husbands mail which
accidentally came into her possession.
Last Sunday Ashmun left his home, say
ing that he was going to Santa Barbara and
promising to return in the evening. His
wife became suspicious Monday morning
when he had not returned and began an
investigation.
She opened two of her husbands letters.
One OF these letters was from the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad. inclosing pass to
Mobile and stating that transportation
could not be furnished "the lady COM
panion." The other letter was one Ash
mum had written some days before and
not being called for by the party to whom
1t was addressed was returned to him. 1t
was from Ashmun to Mollie and was full
OF those endearing terms that form
large part of the correspondence of two
love-sick young people. Mrs. Ashmun
gained from this letter the information
that her husband and Mollie would meet
in Los Angeles Monday-the day on which
she opened the letter-and they would
leave at once for Mobile. The wronged
wife took the first train for this city. She
learned that her husband and a lady COM
panion had left ON the overland for Ala
bama Monday afternoon.

Although Mr.. Patrick declined 10 dis

In the course of the statement which is
quite voluminous, Mr.. Patrick says:
The statement made by Mr.. Dewey that have

for political services, is maliciously false.

l will call your attention to the fact that
there is some stress laid on the point that
the Lemoore Leader is, or will be, Democratic
those statements In my opinion the politics
of a newspaper should not be considered
in the disposition of land-office patron
age in the way of advertising; however, if any
evidence on that point is required l can fur
nish overwhelming proof that the Leader
never has been. is not now nor can it ever be a
Democratic journal while controlled by any
member of the Dewey family. They are lot
of journalistic freaks and have no political

SAILOR FATALLF SHOT.

An Officer of the German Ship Orient
Charged With the Crime.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, March ia deep
water sailor named Jack Kelly is lying at
the Sisters Hospital with bullet fattened
against his skull.
He was found this morning lying in a
miserable hovel on the bay shore, uncon-
scious and lying in a pool of blood. Ply
sicians took several pieces of bone from
hisskull and revived him somewhat.
He told rambling story of assisting a
sailor to desert from the German ship
Orient, when the first mate shot him.
Hs said he went to the ship the
other day to get job and was called
was held on board as a prisoner and that
he would pay Kelly big money if the latter
would help him to escape. Kelly agreed
and went alongside the ship in boat.
He made the boat fast to the anchor
chain, and was climbing up the chain
when somebody shot him. He fell into
the water, but managed to get into his
boat and row ashore. Then he crawIed
to his cabin, where he became uncon-
scious.
This afternoon Ludwig Muhlbaurs, third
mate OF the Orient, was arrested, charged
with the attempted murder of Kelly. His
bail was fixed at $2500, and he will be ex-
amined.
He says he was on watch and saw man
climbing the anchor chain, who refused to
him have it. Kelly's hat had three holes
in it and he will probably die. 1t is
limited that the men had some previous
difficulty
