PRAYER IN
CALIFORNIA.
Ministers of Oakland to Peti-
tiOn the Governor
To Set a Day of Prayer For
Rain.
DROUTH is SEVERE.
Whole Country Is Parched and
Burning Up.
One Minis ter Thinks the DrOuth
"Judgment."
DROUTH is SEVERE.

Oakland, Cal, March 3-The long con-
tinued drouth is seriously affecting all ag-
ricultural, fruit and stock raising inter-
ests. The soil is parched to a very great
depth and rain must come soon or the loss
will be enormous.
The Rev. N. r. johnson of this city be-
lieves that the lack of rain is due to the
wrath of the Lord and that there will be
no relief for the people of California until
they get upon their knees and ask for his
blessing. The minister wants the matter
taken up by the governor, who will call
a day for fasting and prayer, and has
asked the Rev. DR.. Coyle to assist in call
ing a meeting of Oakland clergymen that
a petition may be prepared and forwarded
to the executive at Sacramento.
In letter to DR.. Coyle the Rev. Mr.
Johnson outlines his views as follows:
when for the sins of the people of
Nineveh the prophet of God threatened
the destruction of the city, fast was
proclaimed, the people repented and the
was averted. The record is for the in
struction of the people of this generation.
If he who 'sendeth rain on the just and
hold the -a natural blessing from the pas
lures and fields of our state, sure famine,
sS result. u IF # for 'fiE the wicEedness Of them
that dwell therein, God turns a fruitful
land into barrenness," California may yet
become waste unless the people cease
from their sins and call upon the merciful
The evidences of the divine displeasure
are so manifest and his call to repentance
so audible L am persuaded that the oeo-
pie of our state should be called by the
governor to use the divinely appointed
means of averting divine Judgment, viz:
fasting and prayer. But upon the church,
and especially her ministers, devolves the
duty of teaching civil rulers their duty to
the Lord of Nations as well as to all the
people.
I'm the light of such facts it seems to
be manifest that just now the ministers
should unite in a request of the governor
of the state that he would without delay
issue a proclamation of state fast day
on which all who believe that our God is
the hearer of prayer and the pardoner of
iniquity may assemble in their places of
worship and invoke his blessing upon the
people and forgive their sins and send
the rains, without which the earth can
not produce. food for man or beast"
Many ministers in Oakland believe that
governor to name a day for prayer and
fasting.

GREATEST OF ALL.
a Combination of All the Smelters in
the United States.

Pittsburg Pa, March 3.-The Post
says:
One of the most gigantic combinations
yet attempted by commercial organiza-
tions in the United States was COM
pleted today over the wires between
New York and Pittsburg. 1t is a con-
solidation of all the smelters and re-
fineries of precious metals in the United
States. The final move was the pur-
chase of the works of the Pennsylvania
Lead company of Pittsburg and the
Pennsylvania Smelling company's works
of Salt Lake city, Utah. The price paid
is not made known. The capitalization
of the new combine will be $46, 900 900.
Officers will be elected on April 1. 1t is
understood that Ex-Governor J. B.
Grant, of Colorado, will be president,
and Barton Sewall, of Chicago, is men
toned for vice president. The deal just
closed has been under negotiations for
several months. The names of the firms
in the combine follow:

DEWEY WILL BE BOSS.
Can Issue Orders to Otis If He Chooses
to Do SO.

New York, March "a dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Admiral Dewey will rank Major Cen
eral Otis, and when the army and navy
combine operations in the Philippines
his order as the ranking officer will
have to be obeyed. 1t is not believed,
however, that there is any danger of
friction between Admiral Dewey and
General Otis, as the former thoroughly
understands the rights of the military
and will undoubtedly, when the two
services act together, fully consult the
military commander as to the course to
be pursued. 1t has been determined ar
the department to leave to Admiral
Dewey the selection of the kind of uni
form which he desires to wear. Admir-
ais Porter and Farragut were given this
privilege, but neither had much oppor-
tunity for wearing them. But as Ad-
rniraI Dewey will remain af1oat for some
months it is expected that he will i'm
mediately take steps for the purchase
of uniform, distinctive of his new
grade and yet strictly in accordance
in some of it's features, with the regula-
tion uniform which he has worn all his
life. Hhis shoulderstraps will be decora-
ted by four stars instead of two, the
end stars being embroidered over four
anchors seven-eighths of an inch long
AS soon as Admiral Dewey hoists the
flag of an admiral the ships of his
SQUADRON will thunder a salute Of II
guns and the drum corps will sound
four ruff1es and flourisheS.

ALMOST MURDER!
A Medical Student Almost Kill
ed by an Unknown Assailant.

L. A. Walker, a student in the Kansas
Medical college, is suffering from an as
sault which, it is supposed, was made by
a burglar on Wednesday evening. Mr..
Walker is unable to give any coherent
story of the assault but his friends are
satisfied that it was the work of a
robber.
Mr. Walker lives in the Bennett flats
His home is in Arkansas City. His room
mate is c. w. Grimes, who is also
student at the Medical college. We'd
nesday evening Mr.. Grimes went out
leaving his room mate at home to study.
He returned rather late and was horri-
fed to find Walker stretched uncon-
scious on the floor bleeding from an
ugly wound in the back of his head.
Mr. Grimes and several other peo-
pie worked with Walker all night but
until last evening he did not regain con-
sciousnesS. Then he was unable to give
any account of the assault. He heard
some one walking in the hall but that

hearing any one enter the room.
A grocery store in the flats was bur-
glariZed the same night and 1t is sup
posed that the same man struck Walker
who broke into the store. A peculiar
thing about the assault is that nothing
was mOleSted in the room occupied by
Walker and Grimes. If it was a bur-
glar who did the deed he was evidently
frightened away before he had time to
make an inventory of the things in the

Attorneys Fighting Over 5000 Which
Was in a Bank.

Seven lawyers are battling in the dis
trict court for the $500 which was in the
bank to the credit of J. S. Collins when
he was murdered.
Each of the seven attorneys repre-
sents clients who claim that the money
was only held in trust by Mr.. Collins
and that it in reality belong to them.
The claims of these people aggregate
about $1,000, so that if the bank ac-
count should be divided pro rata among
those interested it would not go far to-
ward discharging the Indebtedness.
John Seaton claims part of the money
was advanced by him as first payment
on some property. Mrs. p. B. Plumb
claims that it was due her in rents
which Mr.. Collins collected and failed
to turn over. Emma Peterson claims
the money as some she gave Mr.. Collins
to invest for her. Mrs. Julia P. Holmes
and Kate Matcolm claim that the money
is due them on account of rents collect
ed. J. Emery Bird claims that the
money is a trust fund held by ]. S. Col
