To the Editor of the Jonrnal:
Although notice has already been
given through the newspapers of this
State that special rate Of one fare
for the round trip from points in Ne
yada to Omaha and return has been
given by the Southern Pacific and
connecting lines in order that teach
ers and others may visit the Trans
Mississippi Exposition at Omaha.
nevertheless. desire to call special
attention again to the advantages
which this low rate offers to orr
teachers and all others interested
lnasmuch rs this is the only reduced
rate likely to be given to the Expo-i-
ton, special emphasis may reasonably
be placed upon this announ cement.
Arrangements have been made for -
great Educational Convention at
Omaha to be held June 28th, both and
Both. Tickets will be on sale at the
local stations in Nevada Sunday.
June 26th, and this is the only day on
which our people may take advan-
. tage OF this low rate, which is omen
to everybody. l hope that MANY OF
our teachers and others in the State
may be able to take advantage OF
this opportunity to visit the Omaha
Exposition but especially to get the
advantages OF the Educational Con
veDtion. Upon the close of the Edu-
detional Convention Mt Omaha,
teachers may purchase reduced rate
tickets to the great National Educa.
tioual Convention which meets at
Washington, ID. c., early in July. BY
this means our teachers may get the
advantage OF both Conven tons at as
low rate as the railroads ever gave
to these Conventions.
Colonel Fl. b. Maxon who is the OF
fetal representative OF the Trans.
Mississippi Expo sition for the State
Of Nevada has been instrumental in
securing these reduced rates from
points in Nevada and will give special
attention to making this excursion a
success. Persons interested will do

Inc Board Of Health did not try Chief

stated that he had just been called into

san francisco market. DR.. Bazet stated
that the epidemic was becoming w;Ge-s

Dr.. Root presented evidence to the
board that the fever was now developing
all over the State, and declared that the
meat Of cattle dying from it was being
shipped to this city. He further said that
there were SO few outward symptoms of
disease in the infected cattle that an in
spection by ordinary laymen was almost
useless. AS for the meat being unhealthv
to consume, he thought that it was far
preferable to other diseased meat. but
still was Objectionable on account of the
febrile conditions of the cattle preceding
death.
The whole matter was finally referred
to the State Board of Health:

HAD TO ABANDON HER
BIG LUMBER. RAFT
THE PRoGREso FORCED FROM
THE CONTEST.
Stuck to Her Tow for Eleven Days
and Then Had to Cut Adrift
When OF Point Reyes.

The steamer Progreso arrived In port
yesterday without the raft of piles she
was towing down. Heavy weather was
encountered, and one-half of the huge
mass broke adrift. Early yesterday morn
ing a heavy swell and nasty cross sea
was met and the rest of the raft broke
adrift. When the Progreso reached port
all she had to show for eleven days of
hard towing was about sixty tons OF chain
which was towing behind her.
AS the Progreso gave up the attempt
to bring the raft into port, the Humboldt
is going to try it. She got in from Seat
tie yesterday at p. M. and an hour
later had discharged her passengers and
derelict. Captain Bonnifield had an ex-
perience with the menace to navigation
early in the morning. At a. m. the
first portion was met, and from that hour
UP to 1920 a. m. floating piles were con-
stantly passed. A lookout was then kept
for the remainder of the raft, and 1t was
sighted six or seven miles west of Point
REYES. Seas were breaking clear over it,
but it was intact. Should the Humboldt
bring the remains of the raft in it will
be a lucky find for that fortunate vessel.
The Alaska Commercial Companys
steamer Bertha arrived from ST. Michael
yesterday. She brought down about sixty
miners and nearly million. in gold. dust

worth of dust alone. The steamer Cleve-

He ArraiSned the Managers Of the Municipal
Convention Last Night and Was
Wildly Cheered.
The Programme for Coroner Failed but the Candidates for
Police Judges and Justices Of the Peace Went
Through Without Hitch.

Ex-senator Bart Burke of Santa Cruz
raised his voice in angry protest last
night against the manner in which the
SLATE" was being run through in the
Democratic municipal convention. The
gallery and audience were with him and
cheered until their threats gave out.
Burke's arraignment of the managers
of the convention upset part of their pro-
gramme. DR.. E. E. Hill, an assistant
surgeon at the water front branch of the
Receiving Hospital. who was not on the
slate" carried off the nomination for
Coroner much to the disgust of the self
appointed bosses. They had promised to
give the nomination to DR.. George M.
Terrill, but after Burke's speech they
were unable to carry out their contract.
The convention was called to order in
Odd Fellows Hall at S:15 o'clock by
Chairman MCGEE, who announced that
tie first order of business would be the
report of the committee appointed to
canvass the names of aspirants for nomi-
nation for the School Board.
Ex-Judge Cope, chairman of the COM
mittee, reported that while many names
had been canvassed, no selections or rec
concentrations had been agreed upon. He
promised. however, to have the report
ready tonight when the convention meets
In Bnai Birth Hall.
George McGillivray reported for the
committee on Supervisors that they
would not be able to report before to-
night, and further time was granted.
timothy Lyons then placed Michael
Meagher, whom he described as an argo-
naut of 1852 in nomination for Recorder.

STRUCK THE BOY
WHO BIT HIS HAND
COLONEL PARNELL CHARGED
WITH CRUELTY.
The Secretary of the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Chill
dren Explains.

Colonel ParnelI secretary OF the Call
fornia Society for the Prevention OF Cru
city to Children, has aroused the lndlg-
nation of a number of occupants of the
Central Market building at 223 Powell
street through his alleged. cruelty to q
nine-year- boy who was left in his
custody by mother who could not sup
port her children.
The charge has been placed in the hands
of Secretary Wadham of the Eureka So
ciety for the Protection of Children. and
he is now gathering evidence with view
to having Colonel Parnell punished for
cruelty.
The trouble grew out of Mrs. c. john
sons effort to have her son Earl and her
daughter Valentine sent to a charitable
institution, as she was unable to support
them Young johnson was brought to the
socIety's room on Friday last. and when
he set up an unearthIy screaming. The
occupants Of neighboring Offices ran into
the hall to learn the cause and discovered
headquarters. The doors were found
locked, and in trying to gain admittance
they attracted the attention of Mrs. Pres
colt the assistant secretary, who opened
the door. At that woment the colonel was
seen to slap the boy, and was immediate
ly demonstrated with by indignant witt
nesseS.
A Dr. Henderson attempted to enter the
colonel's presence with a view to stopping
further punishment, when he was firmly
and colby told. to leave. On his refusal
to- do so the now indignant secretary
pushed him out and closed and locked the
door.
One lady, Mrs Sherman by name, who
has adjoining offices. was so 'grieved at
the boys treatment that she cried all af-'
ternoon. In speaking about the incident
yesterday she said:.. II thought it was
strange that society that cares. for
children should treat them so inhumanly
as did Colonel Parnel, It's representative.
1 was shocked, and had been a man he
would not have acted as he did"
Secretary ParnelPs version of the affair
places the case in an entirely different
light. He stated that the boy became
hysterical as soon as the. mother left
him. He screamed and carried on in a.
manner that caused NEARLY: all of the
people In the building to assemble in the.
half Mrs. Prescott did all that she
could to quiet him, but. the youngster
struggled and bit her hands until she was
almost exhausted. Then she turned the
boy over to the secretary, who had no
better success in quieting him. After
struggling to get out of the door the lad
got the aged soldiers finger in his mouth
and began to close his teeth down in a
manner that caused the colonel much
pain. The boy was struggling on the
