place next week. Children will be pro-
noted from all the lower grades up TO
the high school. In some cases large
numbers of pupils will be advanced AZ

idea OF promoting every six months gives
the brighter pupils an advantage which
they have not enjoyed before and many
we're content to do fairly good work 80

California Harness Maker Brings sun
Against the san Franaisco Call.
Fresno, Cal, Jan. 2l.-Suit has been
commenced by Charles A. Schweizer'
harness maker, against the san Fran
cisco Call to recover damages in the
sum of 100000 for alleged libel. The
article upon which the suit is based
was a sensational story TO the effect
that Schweizer had hired John Barker,
since deceased, to assassinate Solomon
Lehman, upon whose life Schweizer
held an insurance policy for $4,000 as
security for money loaned.
The grand jury investigated the
charges and arrived at the conclusion
that they were the result of conspiracy
to blackmail SchweiZer. The attempt
was made to assassinate Lehman, and
a charge of shot was fired from ambush
wounding his daughter, who was rid
ing with him at the time.

In most every quarter of the city, back
lots that are simply dumping grounds for
rubbish and refuse of all kinds, dangerous
alike to health and life. Take, for in
east between C and D. filed with piles Of
decompOsing manure and other refuse.
1t may be said that this is not unhealthy
at this time of year, but it Is a fact that
this manure has been accommodating there
for the past two months, and that after
a rain 1t emits very offensive odors. This
lot is back of many homes fronting on

by q city ordinance from keeping manure
on their premises. except they build tight
vaults with proper ventilators but here
is this farm yard and refuse nuisance
right at our back windows and exposed
to the public also as they walk along the
street. 1t is indeed. shame that such
things should be permitted In this beau
tiful city. I understand that numerous
complaints have been made relative to
these backyard nuisances, but that no
attention is paid to them. Have we citi-
zens and taxpayers no rights? I do not
believe that our honorable Commissioners
will permit 1t. I am sure we do not want
to ask Congress fer relief. But the back
yard nuisance should go at once Keep
up the fight and they will go.
