GEO. ". RUoKNER
The Popular Candidate for County
superintendent OF schools.

SupeTlDten0ent OF SCHOOLS
George w. Buckner, republican can
didate for county superintendent Of
schools, is a native of Wapello county
and has lived in it's precincts nearly all
his life. Born in 1851, he was too
young to participate in the war Of the
rebellion, but probably no family in
Wapello county sacrificed more in this
great cause than did that OF, Mr.. Buck
ner. His father and two brothers en-
listed and both of the brothers lost
their lives in the service. One was
killed in the battle before Atlanta and
the other died in hospital of dis
ease.
Geo. w. Buckner is man Of the peo-
pie. He was raised on farm, and
when about 10 years of age his father
gave him share in the crop, and he
thus obtained money enough to 20 to
school. He then began teaching, and
for several years thereafter alternately
taught and attended school, thus pay
ing his own way through school. He
holds diploma from the North Mis-
souri, State Normal school, located at
Kirksville, Mo-, where he prepared
himself for the special work Of teach
ing. The course taken at this school
includes the following high
er branches: Etymology, rhet-
ORIG, civil government, elocution,
physical geography, elementary phys
les, elementary chemistry, elementary
botany, elementary zoology, American
literature, algebra and geometry, be-
sides the professional studies of school
management, methods of culture, art
of teaching, etc. After receiving his
diploma he attended school still an
other year, and completed courses in
chemistry, botany, physics, psychol-
ogy, general history and trigonome-
try.
Mr.. Buckner's training in the theory
of teaching was extended and was TIA
ken under Prof. j. Baldwin, recognized
as one of the greatest educators in the
west. Mr.. Buckner began teaching in
1872, and continued until 1892, teach
ing one or more terms each year, ex-
cepting one, during that period. He
was at one time employed as instruc-
tor in the Wapello County Normal In
stitute by the then superintendent,
w. A. McIntire.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Buckner will
bring TO the Office Of county superin-
tendent not only all necessary educa-
tional qualifications for filing the POI
sition, but an actual experience Of 20
years in teaching and management of
school, Since 1892 he has been en-
gagged in business at Highland Center,
and will thus bring to the Office Of
county superintendent a practical busi-
ness experience that will be worth a
great deal to the management of that
department. Mr.. Buckner is eminent
ly deserving of the suffrages of the
people of Wapello county. He will
give splendid administration Of the
office to which he aspires, and he
should and will be elected by . hand
some majority.

MARRIED IN HASTE.
Two University Students Become
Man and Wife

Yesterday. while the senior class of the
University of California was holding its
class day exercises, two youthful fresh
men slipped off to Oakland and were mar
red by Justice of the Peace Quinn. These
young people were Miss Julia A. Man
chester and w. w. Mackie both mem
bers of the class of '02. The bride S
brother, George Manchester, and Miss f.
Savage accompanied them on their matri-
monial venture. After the ceremony the
quartet returned to the campus and re-
manned until the close of the exercises,
when all four took the train for the city
and then for Ventura County, which is
the home of the bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mackie have many tastes
in common. They both belong to an en-
thusiastic order of Socialists. Mrs. Mac
kie's brother, as head of the society,
found in Mr.. Mackie an able lieutenant
and therefore looked with favor on his
suit. The Manchesters belong to a col
ony of communists, and under their guild
ance Mr.. Mackie embraced the theory.
So, when Mr.. Mackie in the midst of the
class day exercises asked for his sister 5
hand, it would have been against the
laws of communism for Mr.. Manchester
to refuse to share her with brother be-
lever.
After the summer vacation Mr. and
Mrs. Mackie will return to Berkeley and
as sophomores will continue their college
education.

7 7 UNDREDS of applicants for Of
fetal positions under the pres
ent State administration will
L L be surprised and shocked to
learn that their petitions have
not been read and their recommended
tions not considered.
The Call is in possession Of informa-
ton that petitions and applications, in
dorsed and supported by leading Re-
publicans OF the State, have not Sc
cured the sCant consideration of a read
ing by Governor Gage.
At the conference which took place
at the Palace Hotel last week in which
Governor Gage and several men called
in to represent the Republican party
participated, names of applicants were
considered; but the petitions and rec
concentrations respecting the various
applications were not at hand. II was
said then that the written Endorsements
were on file in the executive office, Sac
ramento, and would be examined later
on.
The Governor announced that he in
vited the Judgment of leading Repub-
licans TO guide him in making selec-
in the next campaign. He was advised
that the interests urging an appoint
ment should be considered, if the pur-
pose in view was to promote harmony
in the party. He paid little attention
TO the suggestion, but went along with
the consideration Of names in a loose
and rambling fashion.
The system was not changed when
he reached Sacramento. D. NJ. Burns,
Grove Johnson. c. NJ Shortridge, Major
Mclaughlin, jim Rea and others were
called in to tell what they knew Of the
applicants. AS a result of the Cover
nor's system or lack Of system, Repub-
licans representing the highest grades
of citizenship and the leading indus
trial interests of the commonwealth
have been wholly ignored. The peti-
tions which they signed and the recon-
mendations which they submitted have
had no consideration. Reputable Re
publicans, for whose ability and in
tegrity they vouched, were turned
down without the pretense of a hear
ing.
The break between the Governor and
Major Mclaughlin may come any hour.
The majors heart is set on the ap-
pointment of Sam Rucker as a Com
missioner to the Paris Exposition. He
is also backing Jacob Steppacher fo1
Registrar of Voters, but is not insist
ing on the latter appointment as a per
sonal favor. He insists, however, that
Rucker should be named for Commits
sioner if everything else sought is de-
MED. Gage is said to be ready to ap-
point Jake, but will not appoint Rue
ker.
When advised that the major would
declare war if Rucker was turned
down. Gage replied:
Il am willing to have one more fight
If the major wants war he can have it
l am ready to appoint Steppacher, but
1 cannot appoint Rucker."
The fact is known to leading politi-
clans of both parties that the Governor
rendered to Z. p. Pond the appointment

Excursion to Ukiah.

The excursion to Ukiah on Sunday May
81 will afford an opportunity for one of
the most delightful trips in California.
A ride through Marin, Santa Rosa, Rus
sian River and Ukiah valleys is always a
pleasure. particularly at this time, for in
the middle of May this most picturesque
section of the Pacific Coast is at its pret-
test There is nothing appeals TO the
eye more than the acres and acres of
fruit trees, the vine clad hills, and the
mountain ranges with their wooded crests.
For fortysiX miles the train skirts the
Russian River There is no mOnotony,
but a constant change of scenery. There
will be plenty of time after arrival at
Ukiah to drive around the surrounding
country to visit Vichy Springs. the In
dian rancheria and the asylum.
The fish hatchery of the California
Northwestern Railway Company is in
Gibson Canyon, most weird and pictur-
esque spot. Within the city limits of
Ukiah it is but a comfortable walk or a
short ride from the depot. Here hundreds
of thousands of young trout may be seen
in all stages of development. This will
be an excellent opportunity for the gen.
eral public to view a variety of trout here
tofore unknown. OF rich golden color,
with a mouth somewhat like that of a
snake, and a long, slender body. most
graceful in its curves, the Ukiah golden
trout (as it has been named) is a beauti-
full sight gliding through the water.
Every effort will be made for the COM
fort of the passengers, and each one is
guaranteed a seat On this trip the Cali
fornia Northwestern Railway will run its
solid train of new passenger coaches just
received from the East. Most modern in
their design and elegantly equipped, they
possess all the latest Improvements for
comfort and safety.
