RECKLESS SHOOTING.
Two Horses Shot Within Fort
night on Farms Near This City.

Much complaint is being made of
reckless shooting that is done around
the outskirts of the city.
Edwin Tuller, who lives near the
Twelfth street road, about half a mile
north of the city, had valuable horse
killed on his place on Wednesday after
noon by q. rifle ball, and as he says he
has no enemies, he can ascribe it only
to carelessness. Twb weeks ago a
horse belonging to William Hill, on the
Waldron place, northeast of. the city,
had to be killed, it's leg having been
smashed by a rifle bullet fired by some
unknown hunter. 1t is lucky in both
cases that some human being did not
come within range Of the bullets
Such reckless shooting in the vicin-
lty of a city is nothing short of GRIM
1nal and the ones doing it, IT detected,
should be punished severely. 1t has
been noticed by several persons this
summer that the white men who go
hunting are armed with shotguns, While
in number of cases rifles are carried
by Japs, who go out to hunt, and by
boys who carry 22-caliber rifles.

HON. WEBSTER DAVIS.
The Noted Orator VIII Speak in
Sacramento.

Hon. Webster Davis, Assistant Sec
retary of the Interior, Will speak at the
Old Pavilion Saturday evening on the
issues of the day. He is known
throughout the East as one of the fore
most orators of the country and Sacra-
mentans are fortunate in having this
opportunity to hear him. The San
Jose Mercury" speaking of his COM
ing visit to that city, says:
Mr. Davis is one of the most fas-
cinating and effective Republican
speakers in the United States, and
while his services have been secured in
this State in the interest Of the Re-
publican ticket, and but few addresses
will be made by him, the value Of his
powers of oratory is by no means con-
fined entirely to partisanship, as he is
a distinct and typical representative of
that elevated class Of speakers who
are thrilling and stimulating all Amer
leans with the loftiest patriotism anC
most profound loyalty to those senti-
ments, now fully aroused, which tend
TO advance our nation in craftsmanship.
humanity and commerciahsm. Mr.
Davis ability in many respects resem-
bles that of Mr.. Bryan. He is "A young
man of fine presence, fine voice and
fine instincts. His flow of words is
never interrupted, and he appeals es
pecially to the ambitions of the young
men who are sure to take q prominent
interest in our governmental affairs.
Mr. Davis home is Kansas City. Mo.
In 1894 he was elected Mayor OF that
city as a Republican. During the
campaign of 1896 he first used his great
powers of oratory in Missouri. The eff
fectiveness of his addresses was 50
marked and his value so distinctive
that President Mckinley insisted upon
rewarding him fittingly and he was
nominated and confirmed as Assistant
Secretary OF the Interior. He had not
delivered more than one address in the
East before many States were begging
for his presence to assist in campaign
work His addresses in New York
Connecticut and Ohio aroused an un-
precedented amount of enthusiasm, AMI
his address at Gettysburg year ago
was a notable one. Seldom DO the peo-
pie of San Jose have an opportunity of
hearing a speaker of Mr.. Davis class
