THREE PRIMARY Tickets
They Are the Harmonic Hall,

Meeting of tho City
Trustees.

ALAMEDA. CAL, March S.-The result
of the Good Government Club primary
on Saturday puts three tickets in the field
for the municipal election to be held on
April II These are the Harmonic Hall,
postal primary and ood-governmet tick
cts. In their selection, as already stated,
partisan politics cut no figure. There are
several candidates who are on all thr ee
tickets and whose calling and election
may therefore be considered measurably
certain-that is unless some independent
candidates should crop up apd develop
unexpected strength. The candidates who
are on all three tickets are R. 9. Wheeler,
for Treasurer; A. F. ST. Sure, Recorder !;
E. NJ. Smith, Assessor; B. f. Lam born,
Clerk, and Oscar Rogers. Marshal. The
Anti-Saloon League will not put any
ticket in the field, though at one time it
was suggested that this might be done.
They will concentrate cir efforts upon
securing majority for the proposition
which will be submitted to- the voters,
.sShall the traffic in Intoxicating liquors
be prohibited This is for the purpose
of introducing the precinct local option
ordinance on the same lines as proposed
in Oakland.

Boy Burglars Released.

ALAMEDA, CAL. March 8.-The boy
burglars were brought before Justice Nor

the were reduced to petty larceny, to
which they pleaded guilty. The Judge
gave them a good lecture and then sus-
pended sentence and let them go home,
where it is reported very warm recep-
ton greeted them. Heuer, one of the
quartet arrested, was acquitted, it being
shown that he had nothing to do with the
,hefts. 1t appears that it was the am BIZ

enough booty to buy a complete outfit of
tools, with which they were going into

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The following items will, we are assure d
prove interesting reading to. all. The first
taken from paper published in Newburg,
| New York, is as follows: 'Miss Jessie Loui sc
! Chickering OF Walpole has sent two medals to
be presented to first and second horses in the
special two-year-old stake at Goshen. The
winning horse will receive gold medal, and
the horse getting second place silver medal.
Miss Chickering hopes to be present and pre-
sent the medals in person. Nobody seems to
know who Miss Chickering is, and the horse
men are awaiting her appearance with con-
, siderable interest.
The second concerns a former Walpole
resident and is culled from the ''Frederick
| Free Press
| 1000 SHEEP DEAL.
| F. NJ. Joslin started for Billings, Montana,
Monday morning, where he will buy 10000
head of lambs. A gentleman from that place
| will join him and take 10000 more, all of
which will be shipped into the stubble fields
| about Mapleton, North Dakota, for a few
weeks grazing, and then will go to the New
Brighton feed yards to be finished off for
market. The range prices are moderate iu st
now, but the Montana gentleman writes that
they are going up. This deal will require an
outlay of about 10000, but the prospects f,,r
realizing profit are fully as good as last year,
when Mr.. Joslin cleared 81 per head on the
lambs he marketed.
The third from the "Daily saratogian y
speaks for itself:
There will be the charming novelty of a
double wedding at the Circular street resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Elisha Isbell the NOR, :
ing of September 10. Two of Saratoga's fair,
accomplished and popular daughters will be :

Miss Sarah H. Isbell will be united in mat.

will be attended only by the nearest relatives
and most intimate friends of the contracting
