Of course, 1 have left out certain expen-
ses, including interest, ETC., that are usu-
ally counted in; but these will be more
than offset by the value Of the fer
tilizer that has not yet been made availa-
BILE, and the calculation is close enough
far all practicable purposes. The cost of
my cotton, it will be seen, was not quite
cents pound. This know is so low
as to be almost beyond belief with many
farmers; but in my opinion it is easily pos
sible to make further reductions in the
cost.
Now, before l conclude, allow me to
make another observation. AS the result
of my report already published, 1 have
been literally overwhelmed with letters
asking for cotton seed and for various
points of information. In regard to the
cotton seed, l will do the best 1 can to
carry out my opposition to send pound

HIS SECOND OFFENSE.
w. b. Bradbury, tho Capitalist, Ar
rested for Expectorating in
a Streetcar.

w. B. Bradbury, the capitalist, who
achieved notoriety recently by being the
first person arrested for violating the
ordinance against expectorating in street.
cars, met with similar experience on
Wednesday night.
He was riding on Larkin-street car
going south about o'clock and as it
neared Turk street he expectorated on the
floor. ]. W. Greenlaw, the conductor,
called his attention to the card on the
side of the car drawing attention to the
ordinance and he alleges that Bradbury
replied: 81 don't care a - for the ordi-
nance. I've been arrested once before
and you can try it on again if you like"
Policeman Sawyer happened to be on
Larkin street, between Turk and Golden
Gate avenue, and GreenIaw stopped the
car and called upon Sawyer to arrest Brad
bury for expectorating ex in the car. Sawyer
placed the capitalist under arrest and
booked him at the City Prison. He gave
$5 bail and was released.
For his first offense Bradbury was fined
S. by Judge Low, and the case is now
under appeal in the Superior Court.
Bradbury said last night that he was de-
termined to fight the ordinance.

DR." Henry M. Thornton. A Sixth
street, since the episode of his wife takin g
poison the day after they were married
because she heard that he had wife in
Chicago, has been keeping himself promi-
nently before the public in different ways.
No sooner had his wife's attempt been
made public than the boy Kline's case
came into prominence, and following that
came the information that his wife had
deserted him and returned to her parents.
Late Wednesday night he went to the
residence of his wife's parents on Folsom
street. He was under the influence of
liquor and wanted to get his wife to return
to him. He said he was in great distress
and his heart was breaking through love
for his darling.
Thornton refused to leave the house and
Moses Powell, his wife's father, had him
arrested for disturbing thes peace He
was released on giving $40 sh bail
He turned up at the Receiving Hospital
about 2 o'clock yesterday morning in
maudlin state. He wanled to try his
powers as hypnotist on Dr. Bunnell, but
was advised to get sober before making
get bed for the night in the male ward,
but this was sternly refused.
Then he began to pour out his tale OF
woe about his wife deserting him to all
who would listen to him. He complained
of his distress of mind caused by the loss
of his long haired partner, and pleaded
for sympathy. He became such nui-
sance that The steward notified the Gen.
trail Police station and Thornton was
taken in the patrol-wagon to the prison
and booked as drunk"
Yesterday morning the cases were
called in Judge Joachimsen's court and
were continued till to-day.

money. The track was in good condition
and fair time was made in the different
events.
A seven-furlong run for maiden three
year-olds opened the afternoons sport
and drew out big field of nineteen start

1t is well to examine these items. The sum

of $1S9 was expended for bound volumes of
the Overland Monthly from 1868 to 1896 ALI
these books are not in the library. There are
bound volumes of that periodical from 1880
to 1896 only. Where are the other books?
Mr.. Webster calls attention to the fact
that the law makes the Superintendent
the custodian of the library and respon,1-
Bile for its contents. He is required to
keep a record of the books taken there
from and returned thereto.
Mr.. Webster claimed that the item of
$244 so for subscription to the Overland
Monthly is entirely illegal, anu that it
should be 81 so; and also that the item
of $72 so for stationery Is not authorized
by law, as far as he was able to de-
termine.
Mr.. Webster sums up his review as fol-
lows:
1t will be observed from this review that at
least over $500 has been drawn from this fund
during the present fiscal year contrary to
law.
The Superintendent sounded s warning
that the law was being violated regarding
lapsed teachers certificates in the follow
ing language:
An expired or lapsed certificate cannot be re-
Dewed. That which is dead has no life to pro-
long. They are simply affidavits that the per-
son named therein was entitled to teach in the
public schools during the time specified by
them and no longer. Under section 1860 OF
the Political Code no district is entitled to re-
ceive any apportionment OF State moneys un-
less all teachers hold legal certificates of fit
ness for teaching in full force and effect.
