 9OS Broadway, June 25. Thomas Rafferty of Pleasanton is a much advertised man, though the nature of the publicity given him would not be ordinarily considered agreeable.
 For long time MT. Rafferty has given the Pleasanton officials much trouble. He has been arrested on many occasions for the same old habit-drunkenness. Jus tice Brophy, Marshal Head and Constable Lyster have personally made many ef- forts to reform their townsman, but with out effect and now they have taken diff ferent tack.
 Last Monday Rafferty was up before Justice Brophy on the same old charge. Owing to some defect in the proceedings Raffertv was discharged But the officers do not intend to let MT. Rafferty fill a drunkard's grave if they can help it. They have taken sufficient interest in MT Rafferty to issue the following warn ing to all saloon-keepers in Murray Township:
 ''To whom it may concern-Notice Is hereby given that every person who sells or furnishes or causes to be sold or fur or common drunkard, any intoxicating liouor will be prosecuted under section 397 of the Penal Code.
 "L M. LISTER,
 Constable of Murray Township. "Pleasanton, June 20, 169S.
 Should this method of proclaiming drunkards be followed in this county the Oakland papers would be publishing many such notices and they would prob ably have a far greater effect than '$S or six days"

A Point for Supervisors.

The Supreme Court holds that a Super visor cannot secure a demand from the county for any other services than those specified by law. This was brought out in the mandamus proceedings of D. c. Shepherd, a Supervisor of San Joaquin County, who in 1895 attended the Super visors' convention in Los Angeles. He presented his bill for expenses and the board passed the demand, that body hav- ing by resolution authorized the attend ance at the convention. The Auditor re- fused to draw his warrant for the de- mand and his position was upheld by the Superior Court, whose decision was af- frmed by the Supreme Court.

Irregular but Legal,

An effort was made by mandate to have Judge Buck of the Superior Court of San Mateo County settle bill of exceptions presented to him by the attorneys for Harry Winters, the Baden murderer, who has been sentenced to be hanged. The Judge refused to do so on the ground that the testimony was set out in full and not in narrative form. The Supreme Court has ordered the bill settled, holding that while the rule has been set as interpreted by Judge Buck still the rule is harsh and not always easy to follow.

A Short Budget Containing the Mis-
cellaneous Happenings of Yesterday
in the Lively River Town.

The news of the victory of Commo-
dore Dewey's squadron off the Bay of
Manila was the cause of general re-
joicing throughout this city yesterday
and the Stars and Stripe were dis
played more profusely in various sec
lions of the town last evening than at
any time since the war began. All
during the day there was a manifesto
ton of a marked degree of anxiety to
learn the full details of the first big
battle and just how many men We're
lost on each side, and the least bit of
intelligence from the Registers bulle-
tins were eagerly sought for. The dec
orations We're very profuse in the bus
mess districts of the town and Union
street, from Thirty-third to the bridge,
presented a scene that would certainly
have done justice to an old time Fourth
of July. Large American flags were
displayed at the Globe, Belmont, post
Office Arnory hall. Windsor Kerns'
and several other business houses, while
other places, including Squire Mason's
Office and Muth's. hung out the Cuban
flag together with the American en-
blem.
Harry Clursen, of Pittsburg, was an
arrival in the city on business.
Ed. Mally arrived in the city yester-
day from Wellsville on business.
J. N. Warnock, of Warnock, was a
guest yesterday of George Anderson in
