SAMUEL REEFS
He is Making an Active and Energetic
Canvass

Samuel Rees, the union candidate for
councilman from the Ninth ward. is
making an energetic canvass he Is a
thorough business man and will make
a valuable officer.
In 1872 Mr.. Rees was clerking for the
Pennsylvania Railway company in Pitts
burg, Pa, when, by mere chance a COPY
of a special editnion of a Los Angeles
newspaper fell into his hands and I'M
folded to him the many attractions that
Los Angeles possessed as a place of res
idence. From that moment he was con-
stantly charmed with visions of orange
and walnut groves and lemon orchards
In 1874 he came to this city with good Gre
dentials. and, possessing good business
tact, he soon hewed out for himself an
honored place among the live business
men of this community. Failing health
compelled him to give up lucrative
elected to represent the Ninth ward in
man of the finance committee member
of board of public works and chairman
of the gas and light committee. During
his term in the council the city's affairs
were managed with marked degree of
efficiency. and economy. He was one of
the leaders In the movement for the
ownership Of city water works and is
now an ardent supporter of that policy.
The selection of Mr. Rees as a candidate
for the council was the result of the
efforts of many of the leading citizens of
the Ninth ward, irrespective of politics.

EUROPEAN CONCERT.
Germany and England Squabbling
About the Transvaal Affair.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE earl of Ions
dale, who enjoys special intimacy with
the German emperor, speaking at a
banquet as the retiring mayor of White
haven, said that he had Emperor Will
liam's authority to say there was moth
ing in the emperor's message to Presi-
dent Kruger of the TransVaal. after the
Jameson raid, which was meant to be
antagonistic to England. Lord Ions
dale added that the facts were that
President Kruger had requested assist
ance from the emperor, who declined it.
The Daily News, in an editorial on
Lord Lonsdale's speech, asks where the
truth is, since Freiherr Marshall Won
Bieberstein the German minister of war,
in the reichstag, and President Kruger,
had both fatty denied the assertion of
Sir Jacobus Dewitt, then British agent
at Pretoria, that President Kruger had
asked the emperor's help.
The Daily Telegraph's Pretoria cor
respondent says he is authorized to deny
the statement that the Transvaal gov
eminent has yet demanded an indem-
nifty of the Chartered South African
company for the Jameson raid.

MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN.
Notes on It's Progress as to What the
Various Parties Are Doing.

The Republicans are making a hard
fight in the municipal campaign in every
ward of the city save the Fifth. In that
ward c. H. Toll for the common coun-
Gil has full swing, as he has no opposing
candidate.
In the Second ward James A. Craig,
the union nominee is being urged by
voters of all parties, regardless of poll
tics. Mr.. Craig has no entanglements
which would in any way tie him down
in the council and his standing in the
community as a business man is AN as
surance that he will favor honest and
economical government.
In the other wards matters are pro-
crossing. In the Seventh there are six
candidates in the field counting the
socialist labor party. This will be a
very sharp fight.
1t has been stated that there are only
two candidates in the field for mayor.
This is a mistake. There are three. The
Socialist labor party has in the field
Lemuel Biddle. This makes the third
candidate.
The Democratic executive committee
held session last evening and arranged
all the preliminaries of the local cam
paign. The committee is made up of
active citizens and Is organized for
work. The secretary, Mr.. Melville, is
thoroughly familiar with his work and
he Is most competent and efficient
man.
Every Democratic precinct commit
tee man who has not already secured his
poll list from the secretary is urged to
do so a t once. He can otain it of Nh. Mel
vile at headquarters in the Workman
building.
The executive committee of the Re
publican city committee has not yet been
appointed. Chairman Eaton will prob
ably announce his appointees today.
The merchants generally are coming 10
the support of M. p. Snyder for gnayor.
They recognize the fact that the has
been engaged in business here for ten
years past and that he will give the
city a true business administration, as
far as it lies within the power of the
mayor to do so.
Capt C. Fl. Hance. the candidate for
city clerk on the union ticket, is making
an active, energetic canvass, which will
produce results on election day.

MRS. CASTLE FREE.
But Too III to Attempt the Journey t,
America.


LONDON, Nov. 12.-Since the release
of Mrs Walter M. Castle of San Fran
cisco from NORWOOD Scrubs prison,
her condition of health has been so seri-
Gus that the doctors now refuse her per-
mission to sail for the United States
at present.
Bernard Abrahams, of counsel for the
Castles, said to representative of the
Associated Press today, referring to the
surprise expressed in the United States
that Mrs. Castle had been advised to
plead guilty, that it was generally felt
in English legal circles, in view of the
change brought about by the law of
1888, that the course adopted was right,
and that the home secretarys order
to release Mrs. Castle is a complete
vindicaton of the soundness of this ad-
vice and a virtual acquittal.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 12-The state
board of examiners at an adjourned ses-

TO pay all coyote claims, granting to the
board power to reject all which are shown
to be illegal. The controller, treasurer
and secretary of state were appointed a
committee to investigate the San Francisco
depot bonds offered for sale to the state.
The fault found was that it might be a
movement to turn the depot over to San
Francisco. and if free wharfage was es-
tablished there would be no revenue with
which to pay the bonds when they fell
due.

wind pulled His Tooth.

One of the queerest pranks of the
wind uring the cyclone the other night,
says the Louisville ''Commercial," hap
pened at the corner of Sixth and Jefferson
streets. John sGazzollo,, the night en-
gineer at the City Hall, has been suffer
ing from toothache for some time, and
has been telling his friends that he in
tended to have the tcher jerked out as
soon as he could screw his courage up to
the point. On the night in question his
tooth ached so badly that he could hard
ly hear the wine blow. He was desper-
ate. Borrowing a gum overcoat from
one of the policemen about the police
station, he started out just as a funnel
shaped cloud was scudding along. He
reached the corner of Sixth and Jeffer-
son streets and was about to turn the
corner when a gust of wind struck him
and lifted him off his feet. He might
have been carried over to the Court House
and drowned in the fountain but for his
presence of mind In grabbing the iron
railing that runs around the steps lead
ing into the basement. He chung there
for a moment with the wind right in
his face. He turned his head, and as he
aid 50 there was a sudden jerF that dis
lodged his hat and fairly unraveled his
red necktie. Then there was a lull, and
when he crept back into the station house
he made the startling discovery that the
aching tooth was gone. The wind had
pulled it. He tells the stocy himself,
and if it is not true Mr.. Cazzollo mas
grossly deceived me.
