MUCH DISCUSSION OVER THE RENOAlI-
NATION OF GOVERNOR GAGE-MIL-
TON WILDER DEAD.

San Francisco. Aug. 22.-As the day draws
near for the Republican State convention, the
discussion the denomination OF Governor
Gage becomes more bitter. Many OF the most
influential Republican newspapers In Call
fornia are strongly opposed to Gage, largely
because Of his bad appointments to impor-
tant commissions and because Of his failure
to approve necessary bills. Governor Gage
has bent his whole strength to the reduc-
ton of the tax rate and in this effort he has
vetoed such vital bills the irrigation measure,
which was prepared very carefully py the Caii-
fornia Water and Forest Association He mas
also refused to sanction necessary payments
to many institutions. This cuts down expenses.
but does not represent any real economy, as
the money must be spent ultimately. The Gov
ernor has alienated many prominent Repuoh-
by his lack Of tact and consideration, but
he has the State patronage back Of him, as well
as the office holders. In the primaries ne was
badly beaten throughout Southern California
and especially in his own district OF Los An
seles but in Northern and Central California
he developed much strength The Governor IS
confident Of denomination. but there Is no ques-
ton that he has been seriously injured by MS
bad appointments Of machine politicians and by
the revelation of the illegal manufacture Of
furniture and other articles at San Quentin
Prison, many of which were presented to the
Governor by the prison warden Iake lt All III

End of an Oddity.

A curious character hlS just died at
Union, Oregon, and he will probably de-
cline St. Peters invitation to enter the
gates Of the New Jerusalem, and accept
a crown and harp. He is Abner Robbins,
aged 90 years, who was one of the veal
thiest and probably the most eccentric
character in eastern Oregon. He owned
railroad but never accepted pass on
it, and, it is said, has never ridden on it,
preferring cayuse to his steam horse.
He also possessed fine residence which
his family occupied, but the greater por-
ton of his time was spent in cabin near
Drewsy. He had three large general
stores in eastern Oregon, filled with cloth
ing, yet he only wore overalls, a cheap
cotton shirt, pair of cowskin boots and
an old wool hat. He owned $4,000
Touring mill in Dewsey, but had never
been inside of it, although he passed by
it almost daily. With every reasonable
luxury on earth at his command, a
splendid home, and a devoted wife al
ways pleading for HIM to come and re-
main at home, he preferred rude cabin
in the alkali desert, board bed and ba-
con and beans, and the companionship
of cowboys and sheepherders.

Hands Off.

There is one rule that ought to be
taught in every school, and by parents to
their children, and that is-never lift a
wire off the ground. This rule may prove
more valuable than the rule of three.
A telegraph wire, no matter how many
messages may be passing over it, is per-
fectly harmless, but an electric light wire
is always deadly. When you see wire
hanging from a pole or a house, or in
any position, it may be telegraph wire
or it may be an electric light wire, so the
safest plan is to let it lie. 1t may not be
dangerous, but it is like loaded gun-it
may kill you. If an electric light wire
lies across your path, and it becomes abb
solutely necessary to remove it, bear
these points in mind: So long as the
wire is on the ground it is harmless, no
matter how much pressure may be on it
The moment it leaves the ground it is
dangerous. You can pull the slack with
your hand or foot any distance. so long
rs the end touches the ground, but do
not lift it. The instant you do, you be-
come part of the electric circuit and the
current will run to the ground through
your body.
