ELECTION BOARD OFFICERS.
REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COM
MITTEE OBJECTS TO THEM.
Many Said Not to Be Taxpayers
and One Not to Be Able to
Read and Write.

The Republican County Central Com
mittee is very much dissatisfied over
the list Of election officers appointed for
this city by the Board of Supervisors
for the coming election.
The members find particular fault
with the officers selected for the First
Supervisor District and claim that most
OF them are disqualified under the law
many not being on the assessment roll
and are very far from being represen-
tative men The law requires that all
officers of election shall be taxpayers
and be able to read and write and that
any one who cannot read and write,
who shall act as a member Of an Elec-
tion Board shall be guilty Of a misde~
meanor and on conviction shall be sub
ject to a fine of $500 or Imprisonment.
City and county officials are also
barred
The committee employed a man to
go over the assessment roll and COM
pare it with the list of election officers
appointed in the First District and they
charge that in that district, out of
thirty-two officers from Front street
to Fifth, north Of K, only nine are on
the assessment roll They say that in
the First Precinct three of the officers
are from one house, and that many Of
the men on the boards are not known
to them and they cannot tell whether
they are Republicans or not. 1t is
also said that c.. W. Haub, one Of the
Central Committee, furnished nine
names for officers, but only one of them
was appointed and that in the First
Precinct but one of the Judges, Inspec-
tors and Clerks is on the assessment
roll 1t is stated that only two in the
Second Precinct are taxpayers; that in
the Third four are not on the roll and
that in the Fourth there are four non
taxpayers on the board; that in the
Fifth four of the board are not on the
roll and that in the Sixth six Of them
are not, while in the Seventh there are
tve who are not taxpayers and in the
Eighth there are five. 1t is also
claimed that in the Ninth six of the
board are not on the roll, in the Tenth
three are not and in the Eleventh two
are not
1t is further stated that in the Sixth
Precinct one Of the Judges is down on
the Great Register as not being able
to read or write and whose ballot will
have to be marked for him.
In the Fourth Precinct George H.
Clark is appointed Inspector but it is
stated that, being a county officer, he
has declined to. serve.
The Central Committee has appointed
a subcommittee, consisting Of John
Cavanaugh, P. S. Driver and Albert
Starr, to take the necessary steps to
prevent the ineligible persons from act
ing, and they have employed Elwood
Bruner to take steps to that end. AS
the Board Of Supervisors is to meet on
Saturday, 1t is probable Mr. Bruner
will appear before them and ask them
to make the proper changes, thus CIV
ing them a chance to avoid having the
matter taken before the courts.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Miss Katherine Ruth Heymans piano
recital took place at the Congregational
Church last evening under the aus
pices of the Saturday Club. It drew a
large and a brilliant audience; one
which warmed to the accomplished
artist at once, was speedily Quickened
to enthusiasm, and which showered the
pianist with concentrations sincere,
discriminating and bountiful. The
floral tributes sent to the stage were
very rich, beautiful and exceedingly
numerous. Miss Heyman satisfied her
audience that in the years of her ab-
sence she has honored her native city
and added to it's fame as the producer
Of geniuses. Miss Heyman's playing is
characterized by its virile quality, its
precision and high finish, its firmness
and positiveness. Her left hand work
may we'll be styled wonderful for it's
force and brilliancy, and yet for it's deli
cacy. While vigor and positiveness so
mark her playing, and while her tech
nique is we'll nigh the perfection Of the
art Of execution, there is not wanting
the feeling, pathos and tenderness that
flows from a finely informed intelu-
gence and profoundly gifted inter
cient to say that she moves her audi
ence, not specifically, but deeply, for
more the artist does not desire. 1t
would be difficult to say in what num-
ber of the program Miss Heyman most
pleased and satisfied exacting tastes.
Perhaps the first and third, which were
so enthusiastically applauded; but the
last, Liszts Hungarian Fantasy"
seemed to stir the audience to the more
lively manifestations of approval and
pleasure, which resulted in response 10
the encore, as in one other instance, IN
both of which most charming and
pathos charged selections were given.
The recital was a pronounced success,
a triumph by an artist in her home, the
most difficult of all places, by the way,
in which to quicken judgment to enthu-
siastic laudation. Sacramento honored
Hiss Heyman, and the artist proved
herself every bit worthy Of it, and of
all the commendation she has received
on both sides of the Atlantic.

Brighter Prospects.

T look for a business revival in Cali fornia in '99," said Colonel J. s. Young. proprietor of the Russ House, to a re- porter yesterday.
 The recent rains promise good crops, insuring prosperity to the farmers and putting money in circulation. The ac- quisition of Hawaii and the Philippines will benefit the whole country and espe- cially California. We shall furnish our products to the army of occupation there and the troops in transit, as we'll as to the naval squadron in those wa ters. Why, already we send there week ly 75,000 pounds of meat, and this is only the beginning" The colonel has received several interesting letters from his son at Manila, who belongs to the First California Regiment He is so we'll pleased with the country that he may take up his residence there.
 On the subject of the Baldwin Hotel fire Colonel Young said: T be- leve it will have a beneficial effect iii calling attention to the dangers of high hotel buildings, with out proper fire precautions" It is in- teresting to note in this connection the striking record of the Russ House. "The doors of the hotel have never been closed since they were opened in 1862, " said Colonel Young, and no insurance company has ever been called on to pay a dollar of fire loss." This is a matter of public importance just now in view of the fact that the hotel is three stories high with 300 rooms and an enormous frontage on Montgomery Bush and Pine streets. containing exits to these thoroughfares, and four exits to the court in the rear. 50 you sec" he re- marked, with a hydro steam elevator, the safest in the world, and the other precautions, our guests can enjoy their slumbers undisturbed'
 It Is not surprising, therefore, that travellers have furnished testimony that for moderate price, perfection of ser vice and equipments the Russ Is un- surpassed by any hotel in the United States.

DISMEMBERED BODY
 UNDER A WATERFALL
Discovery Made by Boys Near San Bernardino Gives Evidence of
 Murder

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. T.-A number of boys living in Santa Ana Canyon about twenty miles northeast of this city while playing in the can yon discovered the dismembered and badly decomposed remains of human being. Although the discovery was made several days ago, for some req son it was not reported to the authori- ties until to-day.
 The boys who found the body were sons of George Miller and Mrs. Boren, respectively. residing on ranch near the canyon. They were on a little eX- petition up the side of the canyon be- tween tunnels No. Il and F of the Southern California Power Companys canal line. A small stream trickles down this ravine from over a slight precipice, under which the action of the water has caused some cave-like exca- vations. The soil is damp and loose. While playing around the boys dis covered an old shovel and the idea struck them to enlarge the cave. They set at work, but had done little when they were mortified at throwing out human arm. One of the boys showed lllS SpdQc lIlO llS pldCe anu InlS IlrlG leg was brought forth.
 The youths were too scared to con- tinue their excavations and dropping the spade they hurried homeward When George Miller, father of one of the youngsters, heard their tale he ac- companied them back to the grave un- der the waterfall, and securing the arm took it up to one of the camps for ex- hibition, but not until to-day were the nf Then Coroner Heating went to Red lands, and, accompanied by Constable Fetrel and jury, left on a long drive to the canyon, from which at a late hour tonight they have not returned
 The circumstances and the weirdness of the waterfall grave point to murder as the cause of the mans death The dismemberment could have been caused by decomposition, but it is more prob able the body was mutilated. It is re- ported that couple of men are miss ing from Redlands.

there has been some real discussion of one of the foreign powers negotiating a loan in New York. All this is &C., centuated by the fact that American Interests are loaning abroad. The force or economies in management ana ex- penditure is not the least or the req sons for a betterment in values and more thorough organization In car rying on great enterprises. The reduc- tion of prices in so many things is now compelled to be met by better systems of administration and greater volume of business Necessarily is this so in all classes of industrials and railroads.
 "As for the banks, it is the greater volume of business alone which enables them with so great a reduction in the payment for transacting the business to make a fair return upon the capital invested.
 "All this thing benefits more than any one else the great body of con- sumers. However, apparently on the face of things, combinations may seem to be at present for the benefit of cap- ital, an analysis of the real effect of them will show that the consumer is the largest gainer. The danger in such combinations lies in their inviting more or less speculation, thus affording op- portunity to managers to sacrifice the interests of the great body of share
  Then, too, the very great resources vested in them tend to invite political attack and cause participation in poll tics by them.
 However. these features can all be safeguarded and in time combinations made within the lines of laws and fair ness, conducted upon legitimate buSi- ness principles, will be accepted here as as much part of every day commercial life as they are in other countries, where this evolution was long since fixture and an accepted benefit.
 Tt is known that German institutions have paid in the last five weeks as high as per cent for six months loans, made in Wall and La Sale streets, which is not excessive when it is re- called that the discount rate of the Reichbank Is per cent.
 Money being dearer in France and In England than in the United States, the inference is logical that the foreign representative who are negotiating & large loan in this country are acting for the CZar'S Government"

Recently however, she has devoted herself entirely to playwriting. About a year ago Miss Bascom went to Lon don and since then she has produced several one act plays in the British metropolis. She has also been con- tributor to magazines. and at present she is at work on a play-the most pre- tentious she has yet attempted-which she expects to produce next spring.
