SAN DIEGO AZ A TERMINUS.
Confidence Still depressed fn Gettfno
the NesU Steamship line.


SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aug. GA. G..
Butler, who brought the proposition
from President Asano of the Togo Kisen
Kaisna Steamship Company to San Diego
and Los Angeles business men, arrived to-
night from Los Angeles. He is convinced
that Asano will make another and more
favorable proposition with a view to
making San Diego the terminus of the
steamer line and would certainly ask for
proposition from Southern California
even if disposed to make none himself, in
view of the fact that traffic ARRANGEMENTS
have already been made with the Santa
Fe. Butler is confident that the line will
come to San Diego. He leaves tomorrow
morning for New York City to meet
Asano. The meeting of Asano with G. P.
Huntington, according to Butler, only
concerns the passenger traffic indicated in
the proposition which was rejected at Los
Angeles yesterday.

TOOK TWO SHOTS AT HIM
John c. Wallace Attempts the Life Of B.
Black

John c. Wallace Attempts the Lie Of B..
A shooting scrape occurred at about
o'clock yesterday morning at the northwest
corner Of Second street and Broadway, in
front of the California bank building.
John C. Wallace took two shots at a man
named B. Black, and although the latter
lace was standing on the sidewalk when
Black and friend started to come up the
stairs from an employment office in tho
basement. On seeing him Wallace drew a
revolver and fired point blank at Black,
who hurriedly retreated down the steps
mark, but when Black had nearly reached
the bottom of the stairs Wallace fired
again.
This time he came closer, and the bullet
passed through Blacks coat, in the back,
just at the waist. Officer Phillips heard
the shooting and, running to the spot from
the police station, arrested Wallace as he
was walking rapidly away. Wallace said
that he had met Black some three weeks
ago at the Poor Mans inn on Los Angeles
street. They had a difference, and since
that time Black has been annoying him.
Yesterday morning he met Black on the
street and the quarrel was renewed, both
men coming to blows. They separated. but
met again, as stated. when the shooting
lace is insane, as he has a wild look and
does not talk nationally at times. He i'm
agines that he is being prosecuted, and
does not follow one line of thought contin-
uously.
Black states that Wallace was the ag-
gressor in all their quarrels, and that the
latter has been following and annoying
him. Wallace had claimed that he, Black,
had made improper proposals to him, but
this was a lie. He was taken to the re-

WHERE is THE MAN ?

Strange Tale Of an abandoned Boy Left on
the Streets
At the police station there is a bright lit
tie lad about II years old named Walter
Gilbert, who was picked up on the streets
Friday night and taken in as lost boy.
Walter says he lived at Watsega, ILL.,, with
his father and mother until year ago
when both of his parents died within
month of each other, leaving him alone in
the world. His fathers name was George
w. B. Gilbert, and he was a blacksmith.
After the death of his mother, which &C.
to different small towns near by end did
various odd Jobs for living. He finally
stopped in Milford, near his former home.
One day about three weeks ago while he
was eating in restaurant he was accosted
by a man, we'll dressed and of good APP.
pearance, who inquired his name and as
certained his history. At the conclusion
he offered to take Walter with him to Cali
fornia and take care of him. The same
evening both started and went to Chicago,
stopping only an hour, and from there di-
rect here. They occupied q Pullman, and
Walter was we'll cared for. 1t was night
when they got off the train, and they
walked to hotel and put up. The next
morning the man told him he was going
to the city, and to stay at the hotel. This
he did.
Both slept together the next night but in
the morning early the man got up and left
again for the city and did not return.
Walter did not discover that he had been
abandoned until evening, when the hotel
people told him the man was gone
He then struck out, and has since been
knocking around the streets, sleeping
in Railways and getting his food where ne
might. He does not know the name of the
man he came here with, nor of the hotel
where he stopped. AS to whether it was
in this city or some suburb he is equal ly in
doubt. He did know the mans name, but
has forgotten 1t. He always addressed
him as mister.
Nothing wrong was ever proposed to him
by his benefactor, and in fact little con-
versation was held between them. Wal
ter has on q new suit of clothes given to
him by the party who has disappeared.
There is probably more behind the story
than appears on the surface and Walter
will remain at police headquarters until a
home can be found for him.

the Courts.
The legality of the recent southwest
annexation election, held one week ago
yesterday, is to be contested in the courts.
That fact was decided upon at meeting
of some of those interested held last night
in room 245 of the Byrne block.
just how the result is to be overturned
has not yet been determined, and will not
be for several days. The council will to.
morrow canvass the vote cast. Those who
object to coming into the city. will be on
hand, represented by counsel and by a
stenographer who will write the proceed
ings.
Beyond this back outline, there has 40
yet been really no definite program ar
ranged. One of the contentious in the
coming contest is to be the alleged fact
that the official description calling the
election was not specific in that the street
or road referred to as Slauson avenue is in
reality Green Meadow road number three.
The initial proceeding in the contest is to
be taken tomorrow. The attotneys having
the matter in hand say that they have
altogether some thirty points upon which
to declare the election invalid.

Keeping Eggs.

The she'll OF an egg is porous. says the
Farmers Voice, and any filth on it will
faint the meat-agood reason for clean
ing the eggs as soon as gathered. Some
times dirty looking eggs are fresher than
some that are clean, but buyers will not
believe it, and as they must judge an
egg by it's ouCward appearance only,
eggs should be made as attractive as
possible before being sent to market.
Eggs are preserved in two ways-by
cold storage in dry atmosphere at a
temperature of thirty six to forty de-
grees, and by immersing in pickle OF
lime and salt in clean oak barrels. The
pickle is made by shaking two pounds of
lime in hot water, and adding one pint
of salt and four gallons of water.
Twenty gallons will cover $50 dozen
eggs. Put fresh eggs in the pickle until
the vessel is nearly full, spread clean
cloth over them, and cover this with the
settings OF the lime. Ice house and
picked eggs ere edible if put in fresh
and properly kept, but are much in
ferior to fresh stock. If sold for what
they are, it is all right, but a fraud on
consumers to palm them off as newly
laid eggs.

reason why hens lay better in summer

precisely the same principle as feeding
the soil with fertilizer, it does not hurt
the soil to enrich it, neither does it hurt
the hen to supply her natural cravings !;
she is healthier, stronger and better in

Why Green Bone Makes Hens Lay

This important question is the subject
of much discus ION, says an exchange.
Enthusiasts claim so much for fresh-cut
bone that nest desire of practical
poultrymen rOw the truth Of the
matter has led 20 careful investiga-
ton. The results have been very salts
factory and the reason so simple as to
excite surprise that it was never thought
of before. No Intelligent farmer would
expect to reap rich harvest who sowed
the seed in poor and WORKOUT soil. 1t
is fact that is we'll known that all plant
life needs food and the highest develop
ment IS attained whenits own particular
kind of food is furnished. A hen has to
find the material to form an egg from
the food she gets Ii that food is rich
in constituents. she lays well, but
if lacking in them she lays poorly. A
chemical ANALYSIS OF green bone shows
that it contains every element found in
the white, the yolk and the she'll of the
egg.
This accounts for the avidity with
which green bone is devoured by the hen.

and desire for foods that are suitable
for them. A hen will leave any other
