Chicago can have mail delivery every
two hours, why should not other cities
of the country? The carrier service
ought to be so arranged as to give all
cities equal mail facilities in every re-
spect. Chicago or New York is no bet

seems extraordinary that the legisla-
tors of the country do not make such
a protest against this commercial ia
voritism on the part of the Govern

Held to Answer on the Charge Of
Grand Larceny.

STOCKTON. jan 2S.-As a result cf
a most stubbornly contested three
days preliminary examination in the
case of the People against A. II. Car
penter. c. L. Flack and E. 0. Flack,
Justice Parker this morning held Car
penter to answer to appear before the
Superior Court, to be tried for the
crime, with bonds fixed at 81 900. The
two Flacks had been discharged from
custody, there being no evidence against
them.
This morning another preliminary
examination was held substantially un

named Sapiero, who had an interest Ill

first complaint. The District Attorney
consented to withdraw the charge

jects of Living News
Interest.

Placer Republican: 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the Democrats who were
feeling so badly about the so-called fail
ure of the Dingley law to produce
enough revenue to meet the monthly
expenses during the fall months are
highly delighted at the December hg-
ures, which show surplus OF nearly
two millions. Their jubilance. how
ever, seems to be peculiarly passive.
+. FOR KLONDIKE.
Los Angeles Express: A dispatch
from Chicago says the railroad people
are beginning to modify their ideas as
to the number of people who will go TO
Alaska in the spring, and it is now
thought that not more than 1O0,GO
tickets will be sold. Isn't that suffi-
cient number? Has anybody seriously
believed that the center Of population
could be located in Alaska next sum-
mer? Why, there are amy amount
of people who won't go.
BOOK AGENTS.
Los Angeles Times: A Pennsylvania
legislator has introduced a bill Ito abol-
ish book agents. This is all wrong.
Life without book agents would be a
failure. for one would miss the super
lative wave Of happiness that goes
sloshing over him after the aforesaid
book agent has spoken his piece anu
taken his departure.
POOR DOGS.
Oakland Enquirer: These are hard
times for the poor dogs, who are be-
ing sold to slavery in Alaska. Every
dog large enough to be useful for
draught purposes is in demand for ship
ment TO the Klondike, and, although all
pity the miners who are exposed to
hunger and cold, there are few VINO
give a thought to the dogs. 1t is all
right to use Esquimaux dogs. to wnorn
to withstand the Arctic rigors. to haul
sleds over the ice and snow, but the
thin haired dogs of more temperate
climes are poorly prepared for such
hardships and they. cannot put on warm
clothing, like the miners. If food runs
short it is only the exceptional miner
who will divide the last rations with his
dog. and generally the dog will be eaten
in the end. This Alaska business IS
an even more serious matter fer the
dogs than for the humans.
HER OPPORTUNITY.
Santa Rosa Press Democrat: From
statement in one of the Los Angeles
papers, it appears that there will be no
carnival held in that city this year.
From nearly all the other California
cities that formerly fiourished the floral
fiesta. comes the same kind OF a report.
From all appearances there win be few
carnvals this year; it is probable that
none of the cities that in the past few
years prided themselves on their flower
exhibitions will do anything in that line
this year. This. then. is Santa Rosa,S
great opportunity. Is it not, however,
the desire of many of the Carnival D1-
rectors to propose the giving of the car
nivai on the elaborate plan heretofore
followed here.

Campbell said to Beyce: What do
you want Otis to do if your proposition
is accepted2" Boyce replied that he
wanted him to write a letter to the
President to the effect that he would
vote for Hanna Boyce then wrote a
telegram directed to President McKin
ley, reading:
For the best interests of Ohio and
the Republican party. 1 will cast my
vote for NJ A. Hanna for Senator for

This telegram Campbell was to sub
NIT to Otis, and if the latter accepted
the proposition he was to sign it, and
the telegram to be returned to Boyce,
who was to forward it to the President
Mr.. Campbell carried the telegram
away with him and showed it to Ja-
red Bliss, who volunteered to copy the
telegram and sign Otis name to it,
with was done AT the next meetins,
the telegram. or rather a copy of it,,
was shown to Boyce, and he was told
that Otis had finally consented, and
that there was the telegram.
Campbell said to Boyce: You will
pay S1,750. and 81 $50 when you reach
Columbus" whereupon Boyce counted
out $3.50 more. Campbell said: This
does not make ST. 100
Boyce replied: You have already
got 81 coo, and this makes the S1,150."
Campbell replied: i thought the
81 900 was for my fee Boyce replied
that he could not give more than 5000
at that time, although Otis was to get
$500 more when Hanna was elected.
Mr. Campbell then demanded a re-
ceipt, which Boyce did not care to give,
although a receipt was finally written
for the 81, $50 already paid and the ad
ditional ST. 1J0 that was to be paid on
reaching Columbus. Campbell said he
would take the $3.50 and the receipt and
show it to Otis, to which Boyce agreed
The plan was that Campbell and
Boyce and Otis We're TO meet the next
morning at o'clock and come to Co
lumbus Boyce did not show up, and
on later train than had at first been
intended Campbell came to Columbus
with Mr. Otis
The witness here, in response to re-
quest, produced the $1,lo0 that he
claimed Boyce had paid to him. He
said that if gBoyce would return to
Hamilton County he would give him
back the money, although he might
use part of it, if Boyce did not return,
in paying the expenses of the lawsuit
he had started against a paper.
