TO be merely directory as to the time fixed. yet
sucn statute is never SO construed when its
language indicates the contrary intention, as
when tae statute attaches consequence to
the failure TO perform the act within the time
limited In such case, the consequence can
be avoided b: a compliance with the statute
(Pecrine VS.. Forbush, 81 CAL, 305).
Ii the act provided that the selection of cleo
ton officers should be made in January of
each year 1t would come within the genera |
rule above given making it directory merely
and such selection co Id be made at any time
prior TO calling primary election, but as ii is
specifically pr"vided in the act that the selec-
ton OF such officers shall be made during the
month OF January in each year in which a
general election is 10 be held, it is manlfes t
that 1t was not the intention of the Legisla-
ture that the selection should be made in any
other year.
am, therefore, of the opinion that it is q
limitation OF the power of the Board OF Super.
visors TO select such officers in any year other
than that in which general election is 10 be
held; and as this is not year in which gen.
eral election is 10 be held, the Board OF Su per-
visors have no authority to make such selec-
ton of election officers and the act is there
fore imperative until January, 1898. Re-
spectiully,

Market.
Santa Clara County Left on Early
Contracts-Several Dealers Caught
Heavily Short.

Conditions in the prune market have
been intensely excited in the past few
weeks and prices have been ON the Jump
with prospect of ultimately reaching a
point in excess of those which have pre-
vailed in this market for many a year. To
those orchardists who have resisted the
offers of the early season and did not con.
tract their crops the situation is most
cheering.
The year 1896 was the worst for the
prune crop and fruit generally that has
ever been known in this State. The crop
of 1895 had not met with prompt sale and
a large quantity had TO be carried over
Prices were merely nominal and declined
to 2A cents per pound, with demand in
active. The crop was also short amount
ing to only $4,000, 600 pounds, but, not
withsanding, prices sagged until they
reached point below the cost of produc-
ton. Several causes contributed to the
reduction, principally the unsettled politi.
cal outlook and want of conf ience gen.
orally, assisted by the enormous crop o..
apples in the Eastern States as we'll as
large crops Of prunes in Turkey, France
and the Bulgarian provinces. Last year
standard apples, which are the great COM
petitor OF the prune among the mass of
consumers, declined to 81 and 81 cents
per pound, at which price the consump d.
ton of prunes was greatly curtailed.
The total crop of prunes of the United
States for 1896 was, approximately, TO-
GEO. 900 pounds, and though they were all
disposed OF the net result showed loss to
the producers. generally speaking.
The change OF administration and the
prospect OF higher tariff stimulated i'm
portations to some extent, but not mate
rally, as shown by the low stocks that
everywhere existed at the opening of the
present year in all the great markets.
Low prices continued until about the first
OF last August, when the rumors OF short
crops in all the European countries reached
this market. By the middIe of the month
these reports were confirmed and prices
experienced immediate stimulation and
prunes, which were then selling at about
2% cents per pound. quickly strengthened
until they marked, yesterday, 81 cents,
with an advancing tendency. The sltua-
ton is completely reversed from that of
year ago. The Eastern apple crop is les l,
than one-half of that of last year, and Of
fers OF ~ cents for standard dried apples
are refused, owing 10 the inability OF
driers to supply them.
Thus the great competitor of the Cali.
fornia prune is removed from our home
markets.

NEVER SAID JAY TOWN"
Actor Crane After Seven Years

William III. Crane of Boston, the actor
who was last here seven years ago and

You see, when / was here little over

what that means. l probably did say
some disparaging things about the wealth

never did. That is a phrase have never
applied to any town.

AN UNEXPECTED SUICIDE
Simeon Z. Weaver. a Prosperous Far
mer. Sends n Pistol Ball
Through Hts Heart

Not since the accidental
drowning a few days ago of
Miss Ruby Smith has our citi-
Zens received such shock as
they did this afternoon when a
courier arrived from the west
ern part of the county to impart
the sad news of the suicide of
Simeon Z. Weaver to his fam
lily, who live in South Gaines
vile.
Mr.. Weaver was a prominent
farmer of the Fish Creek coun-
try, and while his family reside
III the city, he has recently
ben spending most of his time
on the farm and OH his ranch in
the western part of the Chicka-
saw nation. Only yesterday he
left Gainesville to 90 to his
ranch and stopped with a friend
in Illinois Bend by the name of
Everege to stay over night.
Some time during the night he
committed suicide by sending n
pistol ball crashing through his
heart. The messenger who
brought the news to Gainesville
is Mart Duffey, a brother-in-law
of the deceased who came to
break the sad news TO Mrs.
Weaver. Mr.. DdffSy states that
when the news was impaired to
the family they were complete
ly prostrated over the tragic
affair. The only cause assign
ed for the rash act was financial
troubles. and broeding over
them he became despondent,
and in Il fit OF temporary insan-
ity committed the deed. Mr..
Duffy states that he left a letter
to his wife and each of his
daughters, and also to James
Moon OF this city, explaining
the causes which prompted BIN
/ to resort to self-destruction, but
