Stalking Human Prey.

The Goorkha, with his catlike facil. ity for taking cover, aided by his small size and his sleuthhound persistence in following an eyasiye foe, has always been an annoyance to the stalwart Pa than.
 On one occasion two Goorkha scouts were told off to drive away two Af- ghans who, from neighboring sum- init, were "sniping" at passing col umn. The column reached it's camp aft CT midnight, and when roll was called the two Goorkhas were missing.
 Their comrades mourned them for 8 few hours, but at daybreak the two turned up, very tired, very hungry and very thirsty, but radiant.
 "We got them both, they said.
 Few men but Goorkhas would have enjoyed the sport of stalking enemies in their own country until they "got them both. "-Pearson's Weekly.

Tired of onarreling With Conductors.

Tired of 0uarrelins With Conductors.
 Much amusement was afforded the passengers on a Union station trolley car in Portland by businesslike passen- ger who demanded receipt for his fare. Do you think I'm dishonest?" asked the conductor. T don't know, replied the eccentric man. "I've never been on your car when it was crowded. /" After making many sarcastic remarks the conductor signed his name to the piece of paper handed him by the pas senger. The receipt was worded as fol- lows: Received 5 cents for fare from passenger riding from Elm street to Union station. On being asked why he wanted receipt, the man said he was getting tired quarreling with absent minded conductors, who frequently asked for the necessary nickel after it had been paid. He also said that a few nights ago in Boston he had to get two passengers to prove that he had paid his fare As the man was always placed in an embarrassing position on such occa- sions, he adopted the receipt method in order to save further trouble in the fu- ture. .-Kennebec Me Journal.

could be done without legal process, Seth
Mann, chairman OF the Democratic state
central committee, sent the following let

AT BOYLE HEIGHTS
A Strong Union Meeting-County
Candidates Speak

AT Boyle Heights, in Korbel hall, there
was a large union rally last night, which
was presided over by President j. NJ Voss
of the Ninth ward Mcguire club. The en-.
thusiasm was unusual for ward meeting,
and many Republicans in the audience ex-
pressed their intention of supportinf the
union ticket. Owing to the large number
of candidates present each speech had to
be limited. Judge Phillips spoke I'M bus
iness-hke fashion, setting forth in earnest
language the general issues of the cam
paign. Judge Murphy said that it costs
more to manage Los Angeles county than
some states; promised, if elected to make
economy his chief aim.
Hon. c. A Barlow was the next speaker
and dealt with the national issues.
w. B. Scarborough discussed the duties
of public administrator and showed how
the states funds have been wasted in this
office.
Hon. William Mead said in substance:
"You are familiar with my record in the
legislature and you may do as you please
about returning me. When some northern
Republicans came down here some time
ago it was to switch Cages candidacy from
senator to governor on a deal that was to
place Mike de Young in line for senator to
succeed your Stephen NJ. White"
The remaining candidates who were to
have addressed the rally made short pre-
sentations of themselves. These gentlemen
were j. w. Hanslman, candidate for coun
ty assessor: A. r. Sprague, county record
er; Mr.. Young, A. r. Street, county sur
veyor; Richard w. Wood, for tax collector;

Continued From Page One)

in the bowels of mountain b,
some men who were digging well, and Mr.
Waters impressed upon the audience tn,
fact that the frog must have been lonesome
He said SO four or five times, and everybody
was wondering what he was going to dc
with the frog, when Mr.. Waters settled tht
question with one of his brilliant flashes oi
wit, and said Mcguire would be as lonesome
as the frog was after election. This really
funny story put the audience in good humoi
as Mr.. Waters, neglecting business oppor-
tunities," sat down and gave way to col
ored quartet. They also sang-twice.
SENATOR PERKINS SPEECH
The chair then introduced Senator Per
kins. He was given most fiattering recep-
tion, and at once started in to talk. 1t was
expected that he would handle the railroad
question, the denunciation of Mcguire by
Father Yorke and various other questions
pertinent to the campaign, but, as stated,
Senator Perkins confined himself exclusively
to the national platform of the Republican
party, its history and past achievements;
The senator did say that Gage would be
elected by from $1,000 to 10000 majority,
but he gave no reasons for his conclusion
and no reasons why Gage should be elected,
other than that his election would be mes
sage of confidence to Mckinley.
In handling the sugar question he avoided
all mention of how the railroad was taxing
Luc SIOWcIS VI sugar bccbS uuill lIe STOWGTS
say it no longer pays 70 raise them.
In discussing oranges, the speaker never
touched George Patton's assertion, made
again and again in this campaign, and sup
ported by the bills of sale and freight
charges, that the Southern Pacific charged
the orange growers rate of freight that left
them in debt to the company for freight
charges after they had given Uncle Coils all
the money their fruit brought when sold.
The railroad question he treated as stated.
He said not word about the S. p. being
in politics, but urged that fiat boats on the
river and the San Pedro harbor would settle
by competition the much vexed question.
AS to the Nicaragua canal, Senator Per-
kins truly said that ''men of all parties
wanted to see it built" but he did mob dis
cuss the question of government ownership,
as advocated by the union party, or govern
ment conSrol, as advocated by the Repub-
licans, nor did he attempt to answer Ma
CURES charge that government control was
not government ownership, or to deny his
further charge that men like Uncle Coils
were trying to play the same game with the
canal as they did when the Pacific railroads
were built under the government "control."
Senator Perkins defense of Maguire's ac-
tion regarding the refunding bill was as
much of a surprise as the declarations of
Huntington and Crocker were on the rail
road issue From the very inception of the
present campaign Mr. Gage has said that
Mr. Mcguire could and should have pre-
