Rheumatism Is due TO acid in the

THE LAbORS
 OF THE CODE
 COMMISSION Condensing Statutes of the State.
OF GREAT VALUE TO LAWYERS
SHANAHAN TELLS WHAT HAS
 BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.
The Civil and Political Codes Will Be Presented to the Legislature in Two Separate Bills-other
 Improvements.

The Code Commissioners, Messrs. Cam inetti, Shanahan and Bulla, have per formed a great deal of labor since their appointment, as will be seen by the fact that they will present to the next Legis- lature the Civil and Political Codes com plete in two separate bills. In addition to this the amendemnts to the Code of Civil Procedure and Penal Code rendered necessary by the revision of the Civil and Political Code will be presented.
 The commission has nearly completed a volume of uncodified statutes taken from the statutory laws of the State. carrying the laws in force adopted from 1850 to the present time that are not embraced in the codes.
 Another important matter to attorneys and litigants is the fact where the Su- preme Court has given an exact meaning to any section of the code by decision concerning it, the language of the court Is included in the section as being the ex- act law.
 In speaking of the labors of the com mission yesterday Commissioner Shana- han said:
 Penal Code cannot be presented complete ly revised al the coming session. A great proportion of the labor involved in these two codes has been accomplished ana this work has required the consideration of every section of the code that will be pre- scented as well as the statutes and the supreme court reports.
 ''We are endeavoring to condense the laws of the State as they stand to-day into five comprehensive volumes, instead Of the four codes, the statutes of each ses- sion of the Legislature since the organi- zation of the State and the 12O volumes or Supreme Court reports The result will be of great value to litigants and attorneys.
 Senator Bullas division of the work was largely confined to the laws affect ing municipal corporations. These were embraced in about seventy-five statutes which required weeks of time of a good lawyer to carefully work through and get his points. These volumes have been so condensed and classified that the same work can now be accomplished in few minutes. Mir. Bulla's qualification is com pleted and has been adopted by the board"
 The laws governing counties and town ships were assigned to Commissioners Caminetti, who has about completed his labors. MT. Shanahan's department was State offices and institutions and the whole question of taxation Of these he has completed the codifying of the tax laws. The unfinished work of the com mission will perforce be submitted to the Legislature two years hence.

SUDDEN PASSING
 OF HENRY H. BECK
OAKLAND MoURNs FOR ONE OF
 HER BRIGHTEST SONS.
The Late Manager of the American District Telegraph Company
 Dies at Fabiola Hospital.

OAKLAND. Nov. 13.-Henry H. Beck late manager of the American District Telegraph Company in San Francisco died at the Fabiola Hospital this morn ing at 1:25 o'clock, after an illness or less than a weeks duration.
 The first indication of the sickness which finally resulted in death came in the form of acute pains in the chest, which were afterward found to be the consequence of a perforation of the in- testines. Thursday afternoon the young man took to his bed and Dr. Cunning ham, the family physician, was sum moned. After cursory examination py Drs Cunningham and Julius Rosenstein, it was found that the only chance TOT life was in an operation. Saturday, on the advice of these physicians, he was re- moved from his home at 646 Telegraph avenue to the Fabiola Hospital, where an operation was performed at Il o'clock 1n the evening; He died two hours aItero tho ward and the body was removed to the home of his parents, + Hyde street, San Francisco.
 Young Beck had been an employe of the American District Telegraph Com pany Tor eleven years, but left the com pany recently and came to this city, where he organized the Oakland Burglar and Fire Alarm Company, for which ne received a fifty year franchise. He was to represent this syndicate as president and superintendent, and work was to have been commenced on the enterprise in a short time.
 His death comes as a sad blow to his friends and relatives, as he was loved at home and was a general favorite among his wide circle of acquaintances He was 20 years old, and leaves a widow, young son, father and mother and several brothers and sisters to mourn his loss.

boards. The day after election the City Clerk struck upon the idea that every candidate was a bill poster. or at least the person was who tackled up his slsns. There is bill posters license in AIameoa Of $25 per annum. -eoo
 The Clerk made up a list of over ZVy candidates who had used the fences ana walls of the city to advertise tneihs selves. He prepared licenses for them ana sought the City Marshal to instruct hiIn to make collections. It so happened that the Marshal was the successful Repupl- can nominee for Sheriff. He was wiling to donate $25 to the city, but said ne dlG not have the heart to ask the host or defeated office-seekers, who figured up about 90 per cent of the list, to pay Ala meda for using her advertising space when the city did not give them votes enough to indicate that any of her cltl- zens had seen their announcements
 City Attorney Taylor, State Senator elect, was asked for legal opinion upon the question, and stated offhandedly that If the law was strictly construed the candidates or their friends might be made to take out bill posters license, put that as most of the nominees had been showed out of sight 1t would be 8 nara matter to find them. And besides, salo MT. Taylor, "I don't suppose many Of them have S25 left; and if we proceeded against them and convicted them for violating a city ordinance they would have to go to jail for lack of funds to pay their mes. I do not believe in taking such an undue advantage of a defeated foe"

RAILROAD WRECK.
A Locomotive and Two Cars Demol-
 iShed

BERKELEY Nov. 13.-A combination train on the California Nevada Railroad was wrecked four miles above San Pablo, near Lincer's ranch, at 10 o'clock this morning. The railroad is constructed be- tween Station B and Orinda Park and this morning a large number of pleasures CTS boarded the g a. m. train expecting to spend the day at the end of the line. When the train reached the point men down between loosened rails and in an instant it was piled up in the ditch several feet from the track and two freight cars were demolished. It is fortunate for the passengers that the coaches were in the rear of the train, as there would have been wholesale loss of life had they been in the place of the freight cars. The trainmen escaped with few bruises. It will be several days before the engine can be placed on the rails again.

NO ALAMEDA DAY.
Encinal City May Not Be Repre-
 scented at Oakland's Show.

ALAMEDA, Nov 13.-It is not likely that this city will have day at the Ala meda County Industrial Exposition now being held in Oakland. Agents of the Realty Syndicate, which owns the cleo tric line running between the two cities, have been making efforts to interest cer- tain of the city officials in the matter, but have met with little encouragement The gentlemen appealed to refuse to take hand in the project for the reason, they assert, that they were not treated fairly last year by the transportation company.
 During the exposition of 1897 Alameda citizens went to considerable expense ar ranging and carrying out a programme for an Alameda day. Among other ex- penditures was the hire of brass band AS the streetcar company received all the benefit of the day, it was solicited to pay the pipers,' but the officers refused to put up a cent. A few dayssago, when the company's agents were endeavoring to in terest the Alamedans in another Alameda day, the action of last year was thrown at them wherever they went, and the citizens who are generally foremost in such undertakings positively refused to give any aSSiSfaDce
