SAN JOSE, CAL, May s.-H. McClin-
took of this city swore to a complaint be-
fore a Justice OF the Peace at Santa Clara,
charging William Miller, editor and pub
Usher of the California Illustrated World
of San Francisco with libel. The offense
was alleged to have been committed on
December 8, when Miller's paper of that
date contained the following:
If the conversations between Judge Rey-
nolds and c. D. Wright could be overheard
what crookedness would be revealed. Any
one having litigation before Reynolds will be
protected ii Charlie Wright is the attorney for
him.
At the time of the publication Judge
Reynolds was one of the Superior Judges
of tie county and man OF unquestioned
integrity. c. d. Wright was his former
partner and close friend. The bond of the
accused was placed at $1,000.

Exciting Game Played in
Encina Hall at
Stanford.
PaIo Alto and Oakland High
School Teams Fail
to Score.
Neither Side Gains an Advantage,
and the Match Ends With
Honols Even,

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. CAL, May
s.-One OF the most exciting games OF
basketball ever played here was that in
Encina gymnasium this afternoon be-
tween the Stanford Girls Varsity basket
ball team and a team from the Oakland
High School. So evenly were they
matched that neither side was able to
score. In addition to the regular fifteen
minute halls the teams played an extra
ten minutes without success for either
side.
With the exception of medical attend
ants only women were allowed to witness
the match. About 800 spectators watched
the game from the galleries with breath
less interest. Sixty mem bers of the Oak
land High School came down to cheer
their representatives on to victory.
The idea that college yelling at a con-
test must be done only by college boys is
erroneous. Throughout the game the sharp
"Rah, Rah, Stanfordp' and the equally
decisive yell of the Oakland maidens couli
be heard for blocks around.
Miss Palmer. gymnasium instructor OF
the Oakland High School, and Miss Steb-
bins of Stanford alternated umpire and
referee. According to DR.. Wood, who at
tended the game to give medical aid
should an accident result from any of the
hot scrim IMAGES, the fair Oaklanders ex-
celled in team work, while Stanford had
the stronger individual players. Both
Miss Merritt of Stanford and Miss Morgan
OF Oakland captained their teams WE'LL
and each put up strong individual
game.
The game was not marred by any acct
dent. The best of feeling prevailed. Aft
erward, at a lunch served al Roble Hall
to the visiting team, toasts were proposed
by different members OF the two teams,
which showed the friendly feeling they
had for each other.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, May 8-Judge s.
K. Dougherty rendered decision to-day
in the case OF f. Berka VS.. J. G. Wood
ward, as City Treasurer, deciding in favor
of the plaintiff.
The action was brought to recover about
800 for lumber bought from Berka by the
city and used in the construction of a
sewer.
The city did not deny having bought
and used the lumber and admitted that
the price charged was reasona bic, but
pleaded that the contract was void be-
cause Berka was a mem Der of the CITY
council that ordered the lum Der.
The Judge decided that the contract
was merely implied, and the use of the
lumber implied that a reasonable value
would be paid for il. Berka, acting in
good faith, had fulfilled his contract with
out objection from anv one, and no CON
sheraton OF public policy would REQUIRE
that he should not receive compensation.

WANTED. WOODEN MILLS.

San Antonio is moving along, right
along in the direction of restoring her
prestige as the central market of the
whole southwest She should be.
There is no sound commercial reason
why she should not be the central mar
ket for all the cattle and sheep and
wool and grain trade of this southwest
in so far as it is possible to
centralize such trade. There
seems to be a greater activity
in centralizing the stock trade of all
kinds here than in bringing the wool
and other staples into this centre for
The wool interest would
be greatly advanced in this section by
the establishment of wooden mills here.
There is no place in the southwest
where so natural home is found for
the factories of this class. Large
wooden mills would solve the question
of wool market and of uniformity in
grades and classifications as nothing
else would. The coast country and
all this interior is growing the food
supplies for the factories of the future,
and there is no reason why San An
tonic, already the largest city in the
state should not enter actively into
his competition for the industrial CEN
er of the southwest. All that is re-
luired is patience, constant working
o that end by the whole mass of ouA
people, and liberal treatment of all
propositions looking to the establish
nent of factories of every kind in this
.ity.

When the Philadelphia Record says
that there is no country on the Amer
lean continent the trade If which is so
important to the United States as that
of Canada. 1t is talking nonsense.
There is not one of the productions Of
Canada that is not duplicated in the
United States. Not any of our manu-
features that is not duplicated there.
Trade with Canada is impossible only
as Canada comes into the United
States and takes our market from our
own people. Canada makes more than
she consumes and wants the surplus
sold in this country. This is not to
the interest of the United States.

Matters are no way improved in
Austria, and the threat of the Aus
trian minister of finance to suspend
the constitution in case the compro-
mise bill is defeated has called out
strong remonstrance from some of the
Hungarian members. This with the
troubles over the Bohemian question
render the situation exceedingly criti-
CAL and the whole government grows
nervous. In case of the suspension of
the constitution the attitude that the
Hungarian government would take is
problematical. Hungary has little
mind to see her constitution invaded
or rendered void.

There is good deal of uncertainty
criticism of Watterson's course. He
is a consistent Democrat, and that is
all there is about it. He fought the free
silver heresy, deeming it not the will
of the state to submit to it, but now
convinced through the logic of the late
election that the state really desires
free silver as the party will, he sub
mits on the ground that the state is
sovereign and the will of the state is
binding upon all the people thereof.
He has double will to back him in
this departure, the will of the national
convention as well as the will of the
state. He would not be the good
Democrat that he is did he longer dis
sent.

Canada adds to the difficulties that

up the claim Of a Canadian citizen for

was a railroad engineer in pursuit of
his work when he was seized and
thrown into prison without charge.
He was liberated at the end of six
weeks, through the influence of the
British consul and compelled to leave
the island. He thinks that about 5000
a day for the term of Imprisonment is
the correct thing. He has not got it
yet.

Civil service reform was outlawed by
Cleveland when he filled all the offices
with Democrats and then took snap
judgment against the future by ruling
that all these newly filled places were
under civil service regulations and
could not be filled by appointment in
the future. There is no kick coming
against the Republican attempt to
show that these incumbents are Meth
err worthy or well qualified. 1t is the
only way to secure good service and at
the same time Republican fair play.

Those Indians in the Gulf of Califor-

DDS of providing for a strong and
healthy tribal membership. They de-
stroy all the weakly infants, all that
are deformed and then cut off the old
men and women at 20. so that there
is no great degeneracy on account Of
old age. Modern civilization does not
do as we'll as this. 1t might improve

prevent the birth of weakly and de-
formed babes, by refusing marriage TO
deformed and sickly and diseased per-
