pointees are clothed with certain powers
by which the local conditions OF the dis
trict schools are controlled.
The eastern portion of Alameda County
has not now nor did it ever have repre-
sentation on the County Board of Educa-
ton, and there is now a movement on
foot to secure one of the appointments for
the hitherto neglected part of the county.
The residents of Livermore and neigh
borhood declare that the interests of their
schools can be pest subserved by the APP
pointment of q man who has made sue
cess IN the profession OF teaching in both
the grammar and high schools of this
State. In this way every interest in
school matters from the primary grades
to the university would be so perfected
and promoted as to form one continuous
and harmonious course.
It devolves upon the county board to
lay out the course of the study for the
grammar and primary schools, and also
to prescribe rules and examine the pupils
for examination, as well as to examine
applicants for certificates, fix the grades
thereof and prepare for the annual county
institute. 1t has generally been the prac-
tice to fill these positions with no other
than schoolteachers. but the people in
the eastern part of the county have pub
licly expressed .he desire to be repre-
scented by Professor II. G. Petray, princi-
pal of the Livermore Public School.
Already voluminously signed petition
containing the name of every inf1uen tial
resident of that section has been prepared
for presentation to the Supervisors. The
petition asserts that not only geographic
caIly is that section entitled to place on
the county board, but that the qualitica-
tons of Mr.. Petray are also such as to
create a desire to see him a member of the
board.
Mr.. Petray is in favor OF unifying the
courses of study of the elementary and
secondary schools, as well as raising the
standard thereof, and as this method is rec
commended in the report Of DIR. Brown OF
the State University; D. J. Sullivan, City
uperntendent of Alameda; Mrs. Wilson,
principal of the Temescal Grammar
School, and w. II. Langan. principal OF
the San Leandro school, it is very prob
able that it may soon be adopted by the
county board

bers asking for a reconsideration of the
resolution was subsequently presented to
the board of directors, and therefore the
special meeting was called to reopen the
subject
There is some talk now of purchasing
the lot on the northwest corner of Powell
and Geary streets. 1t has been limited
that desirable land on the northwest
corner of Post and Powell streets might
be obtained.
The meeting tomorrow night will be
largely attended. Every member of the
club has been freely advised of the pro-
posed plans. The sentiment in favor of
building a magnificent edifice on Van
Ness avenue is not confined to the younger
element. Many of the ablest and most
influential men of long experience firmly
advocate the proposition, believing that
the time has arrived for the club to build
a home OF the avenue.

ALBERT KNOCKS HAIR.
Following the Wake of His
Whiskers 1t Will Leave
Him Bald.
Gangs of Thiev Make Away With
Many Valuable CANNES From
Alameda.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 21.-The case of
Albert Kynock, the contractor who lost
his mustache ana beard by it falling out,
is attracting a good deal of attention in
the medical profession. Mr.. Kynock 10
sooner became used TO the bearoless con-
dition of his face than ne found that the
hair of his head was falling out. If it
continues he will soon be bald.
81 have not shaved my chin beard for
twenty-three years and it is over thirty
years since my lip was shaved" said Mr..
Kynock this afternoon to CALL repre-
sen tative, as he worked away on his job.
Now, you can see for yourself that a
baby's face could be no smoother than
mine Why, L have lived here thirteen
years and my best friends fail TO recognize
me when we meet on the street ind
that the hair is coming out of my head.
My physician does not pretend 10 know
any cause for the phenomenon. Ii my
blood was bad or if had any skin trouble
itwould show"
Mr.. Kynock's appearance certainly does
not convey the idea that he is anything
but a healthy man.
Received Call.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 21.-The Rev.
F. D. Miller, who has been serving Christ
Episcopal Church since the resignation of
the Rev. William Lane last Sc ptem Der,
has received temporary call TO accept a
church in Ohio. He will undoubtedly ac-
cept the call if arrangements can be made
with the vestry here to release him. He
had been expected to stay here as SUP
plv until the arrival of Mr.. Lacey next
month. The release of Mr.. Miller will be
discussed at the coming meeting of the
vestry.
Stealing Valuable Dogs.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec 21.-The police
have received many complaints of late of
the loss of valuable canine pets, aud they
are of the opinion that the city is infested
by gang of organized dog thieves The
latest case is that of George Blanchard of
Grand street, who reported the loss of a
thoroughbred prize black spaniel, valued
at $1,000. The dog was located at DIR.
Hornblower's and recovered by a search
warrant, the doctor making no objection.
but stated that he was presented with the
dog by two unknown men, whose descrip-
ton he furnished the police. They were
traced to Stockton, where the ciew van
ished.
A Small Fire.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 21.-The Fire
Department was called out this afternoon
for the first time in month by an alarm
from box Is. The fire proved to be in the
residence of d. s. Halpruner, 1901 Pacific
avenue. Fifty dollars will cove the dam
ape to the woodwork, but several valuable
birds lost their lives in tn smoke. The

To Oakland. but Not Yet.

OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. GA report
having been circulated that the Valley
road was making survey from this city to
Stockton President Robert Watt says
that it is rather premature, but is among
the future plans of the road. Mr.. Watt
said:
OF course it is our aim to at some future
time extend our road to the bay, but there is
nothing definite in that regard just at present.
Surveys, perhaps several of them, VIII have
to be made before any definite route is deter
mined upon. Even though we were to begin
making our surveys 1t would not signify a
great deal.
We are more than pleased with our venture
so far. The people OF the San Joaquin Valley
have received us in spirit that shows they
want competing road We did not handle as
much OF the wheat shipments this year as we
had expected, as we got into the field little
late. We have, however, every assurance that
next year we will secure our share OF the bust
ness.
Certainly when our road is completed to
this city we will do much larger business,
but just at this time could not say when that
will be, for we ourselves do not know.
No Place for Sick Co1ored Man.
OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. q. = Ben
o. Brien, the colored man who threw a
rock at a window to insure being sent to
Jail, and who is half dead from sickness,
was denied admission TO the County Hos
pital to-day. Supervisor Church read the
law, winch says tndI tue use OF the re-
ceiving hospital shall be reserved solely
for the support and care of the INDECENT
sick and for no other purpose. On this
showing the board declined to admit the
prisoner.
Says He Was Robbed.
OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 21.- Stephen
Hogeboom has reported TO the police that
he was held up near Knox place Friday
night and robbed of SOL by two men, one
OF whom was armed.

At the recent election Wood and J. J. Allen

The Question of Moving to Van Ness
Avenue is Reopened.

Avenue is Reopened.
The whole question of buying land and
building house on Van Ness avenue will
be reopened by the Pacifc-Union Club
at special meeting this evening. 1t
appears that the proposition to move out
to the avenue is not entirely acceptable to
the majority of the members.
At a meeting held early in December the
club adopted resolution by vote of So
to 43, to purchase lot on Van Ness
avenue and build house thereon. 1t was
then announced that bonds to the amount
of $3.50, 0O0 had been subscribed for.
Prior to this meeting he directors had
requested an expression of opinion in
writing and postal cards were sent out to

132 opposing the plan and 101 favoring it.

go MARRY IN THE DOME.

A Meriden Couple Had Designs on it,
But Compromised On the Senate
Chamber.
Mr.. Ernest Nowlin and wife will be
able to tell their grandchildren. if they
have any, how they were married in the
senate chamber of the state Capitol of
Kansas
1t was their original intention to be
able to tell them how they were married
in the dome 800 feet above the sordid
lnfnences of earth. with the
canopy of heaven canopying around
over them and the upper strata of Kan
sas zephyr playing a tuneful harmony
upon the love strings of their hearts. but
it was one case in which love could no:
laugh at locksmiths and they did the
next best thing.
About o'clock in the afternoon a very
unlncendiary looking party consisting of
an elderly lady,a pretty blue-eyed young
gIrl,evidently her daug hter,a young man
wore an intelligent and soulful looking
pair of glasses and bore other evidences
OF theologic Influences, and a gentleman,
VINO afterwards turned out to be
preacher, wandered up the stairs that
lead to the senate chamb Der.

continued to dust off his cigars and re-
arrange his candies unsecured.
In few minutes the Quartette came

get to the dome because the doors were
locked.

After they had looked at the granite
and marble and onyx in the walls and
felt of them all to see that there was
nothing there to deceive the eye, they
withdrew to committee room aud went
into few minutes executive session.
AT the adjournment Mr.. FISHERMAN
arose to a question of personal privilege.
"Would there be any objection to the
young people getting married here?" he
asked.
Mr.. Hilman said they had his consent
So Mr. FISHERMAN marked off straight
line in front of the speakers desk with
his heel and the couple advanced to it
while Mr.. Hilman softly whistled 81

march time.
The bride was a sweet faced little girl
of apparently not more than 16 years,
with blue eyes as aforesaid and light hair.
The groom was possibly 20. They were
both very happy but they didn't
say anything about it and the ceremony
was soon over.
The young man laid himself liable to
all sorts of adverse criticism by not kiss
ing the bride and Mr.. Hilman was mad
about it because he could not reasonably
expect to kiss her unless the groom had.
The ceremony over. they started on
bridal tour of the building and Mr.. Hill
man says they behaved very we'll indeed
for newly married people. They re-
turned to Meriden on the evening train.

He Thinks FitzsimmOns Should Whip
MAher Easily.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 20.-When asked
his opinion as to who would win the Fitz-
simmons Maher fight, Jake Kilrain said
today:
''Fitzsimmons by all means. and for the
following reasons: Fiz is by far the
cleverer boxer, knows more tricks of the
trade, and is just as strong and as hard
hitter rs Maher. 1 have boxed with him
several times here at my place. and
found that he is just as good an intighter
as he is at standing off. All this talk
about his going back is rot
''Now as to Maher He was whipped
once, or rather quit before Fitzsimmons,
and why can't the latter make him do the
same thing over again? They say that
Maher has improved so much in ring
fighting, simply because Steve ODon-
nell walked up at the moment time was
called and allowed Maher to cross his
right over and put him out But when
he meets FitZsimmons he won't have any
such mark as that"

The Work Was Evidently Done
by One Acquainted.

Nay Have Been for Revenge,
Certainly Not Robbery.
The Body Lay Cold in Blood All
Night.

LAWRENCE, Feb. u. T. Lam born E.
the wealthy old farmer who was SO brut-
ally murdered at his home Monday
night, was one of the best known farm
ers in this section of the state. He had
often loaned money to farmers, and it
was generally understood that ne kept
money in the house.
The murder was committed with an
Ak which the perpetrator found in an
out building. Not content with having
dealt the octogenarian this death blow,
the fend kept right on cAOpping. The
body was almost lacerated beyond recog-
milton.
The som and daughter. who had left
their father and gone to a dance, did
not discover the dead body of their faith
er until the next tuesday morning.
he was lying on the floor In the kitch-
en- and the floor was covered with blood.
The ak lay near him. Mr.. Lamborn
had not partaken of his meal, as the ia
bic had not been disturbed. He was sit
ting in his favorite arm chair when the
son and daughter left him in the even
ing, aud remarked to them that he would
rest awhile before eating supper
The neighbors were apprised of the
state of affairs and the Leavenworth
officers and coroner notified The in
quest was held in the afternoon and the
verdict was rendered in accordance with
the facts as above set forth-namely, that
the deceased came to his death at the
hands of persons unknown to them.

fifteen years ago, and has since been
living alone with the two children. He
has a son in Lsaveuworth, who came
over this morning to investigate the
crime. The old man was "a years of
age, and very highly respected by all
who knew him.
AS Fall Leaf is not in telegraphic COM
municRtion with the outside world, the
news of the murder was not made
known here until Wednesday morning
AS yet there are clues to the
