The wheat growers of the West are en-
joying prosperity now which is far be-
yond anything that has been known by
them during this generation. II is no
longer dollar wheat, but dollar and a
half wheat, and the farmers who have
not disposed of their holdings are making
fortunes. The Kansas and Nebraska
banks are full of money, and the croakers
are becoming decidedly scarce. Luckily, for

WOODW ARD IS
 NOT THROUGH The Solid Six Waitinq to Get Into the Jury
 Room.
President Pierce Promised to Be on Hand Whenever
 He Was Wanted.
The Strin gless Mans Typewriter Was Again Called Upon for In
 fornanOn.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

JOo BroddWay, March b.
 Most of the Solid Six Councilmen passed this afternoon lettering about the Court house waiting to be called before the Grand Jury. Heitmann, H,enneberry, Earl and WatkinSon sat on one bench, while Woodward, his stenographer, Miss Vogel- sanger, and Harry Thomas sat opposite.
 Henry Pierce, president of the Contra Costa Water Company, reported promptly at 1:30 p. m.,. but after promising to keep within call he was permitted to go to his office. The other witnesses were not so fortunate, but were kept in the windy corridors and they let it be known they did not appreciate it.
 George Hunt, who was once a deputy sheriff, was the first witness, and he was examined for few minutes. When he came out he was very reticent and said he had been cautioned not to talk.
 Miss VOgelsanger, Woodward's type writer, who wrote the famous defense of the Councilman that contained much that Woodward did not know, was again in the jury-room to tell about the transac- tion, but she said she was unable to en- tighten the jurors any more than she had at her first appearance
 and much of his former testimony was gone over again, as it conf1icted with evil dence that has been obtained from others.
 The Grand Jury will meet again to- morrow afternoon.

Much Interest Shown in the Coming Ebell
 Election.
Everything Harmonious but Some Difference Of
 Opinion.
The Clubs Future Will Depend to Some Extent Upon the
 Result
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 one Rroo duyou March 16

sos Broadway, March 1o
 The Ebell Society's annual election will be held on April and the method of con- ducting it will differ from that in vogue in the past The nominating committee will be dispensed with and any number of candidates can be placed in nomination.
 There are several issues involved in the contest and the ladies declare that all though there may be some differences of opinion, there is nothing likely to disturb the unanimity of the club. The question of greatest interest to the club at present is it's future attitude in regard to State federation of women's clubs. The Ebell was founded on principles that are not fa- vorable to federation, but which favored the keeping of the club an organization by itself, independent of any outside al dances. These ideas are firmly rooted in the older members, but do not find so much favor with the younger member ship. The latter inciines to a broadening policy. and this Is the difference of opin- ion" that will probably be settled at the coming election.
 The Ebel embraces about four hundred of the leading women of this city and it's actions are watched with great interest by the general public. This is partly dsee made to prevent secrets of the white tenn pie from becoming public property. The curious are often led to believe that there is more to learn of the Ebell than there really is, and surmise often takes the place of fact.
 The interest felt in the coming election by the members Is shown by the fact that although the meeting was not large ly attended, there were nearly fifty can didates placed in nomination.
 We anticipated lively time" said one of the leaders of the club to-day. "As a matter of fact, we are all doing a little of what might be called family politics. There is one good thing about the Ebell- we always keep our little affairs to our selves. Just now we are divided in opinion on the question of federation. do not really know If the matter were put to a vote of the whole club how it would stand. We are all as peaceful as doves, though, and there is not a con test, although each side would like to see its pet idea carry.
 "I do not think we are independent enough. Many of us are too sensitive, and retire as soon as the Century Club of San Francisco hints that we are too aggressive. It is not an easy task to hold office in the Ebell Not that we ever have any serious differences. Oh, no. But little things arise, and they have to be dealt with. Four hundred women Is a big number to deal with, and Mrs. President Bunnell has done beautifully Tn the past. Our next election will be very interesting, and may mark step of ad- vance for the Ebell."

WITNESSES IN JAIL.
>Prisoners Charged With Felony Are
 Out on Bonds.

OAKLAND, March 15.-William Viers, who was arrested nearly a year ago for burglary and criminal assault, was again on trial to-day, the first jury having dis agreed. He was arrested with Frank No Ian, William Marsh and Barchi Perata, all members of the Fish gang. Nolan has been acquitted, William Marsh has been convicted and has appealed, and Perati has not yet been tried.
 A jury was soon impaneled and testi- mony began with the evidence of Andrew Aird, at whose house the offenses were committed.
 4 peculiar feature of these cases is the fact that while the prisoners have mostly been free, the three witnesses-Aird and his wife and Mrs. Lizzie James-have been kept in jail This incarceration was mutually agreeable to both witnesses and prosecution, but has proved expensive to the county. The three witnesses have cost in food alone over s200. The trial will occupy a few days.

He has already had frostbitten toes and fin- gers. The party that he went with broke up after reaching Alaska and he has had ing some claims on one of the tributaries of the Yukon. but with little success. Farris says that as soon as he can earn enough to pay back the grub stake he went with he will come home. He advises every one who is thinking of going to Alaska to stay away.
