We were very much pleased to

formerly banker at Bigelow and
who recently moved to Modesto,
Calitornia. He writes as follows

Nay is Last and spent five weeks
prospecting in California. This
was the period Of your destructive
storms, heavy rains and almost un-
preoedented washouts, and during
my entire trip I did not experience
an unpleasant day. The continuous
pleasant weather. here is cheering
and delightful. We have Q rich and
naturally productive valley that Of
the San Joaquin river, where diver

profitable for years. We now have
two new irrigation systems bring

in California can now be proftably
grown here. The productiveness Of
land is increased several fold and
the price is now advancing in pro-

which also insures good market. I
am satisfied that we have, chosen
a location with climatic conditions

!" The Shakes That He Missed

A former collegian, addressing Z
class of graduates whose fathers were
his schoolmates, made a statement
which created a great deal of merri-
ment. AS he gazed around the school
room and noticed how few Of the ''old
boys" were present, he mournfully
wound up his speech in this manner:
"And, oh, my dear young friends, it
makes me sad when think of the
days that are gone-when look
around and miss the old, familiar
faces I used to shake hands with"

 NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-The Repub- lican city convention, held in the Grand Central palace, completed its delibera- tions shortly before 11lo'clock last night and nominated as the party's candi- dates on the municipal ticket this fall Seth Low for mayor, Edward M. Grout for comptroller and Charles V. Fornes for president of the board of aldermen.
 The convention declared in unequivo- cal terms ip favor of continuance of the fusion government, heartily in- dorsed the administration of May0g Low and declared that return of Tammany to power would be a disas- ter too appalling to contemplate.
 Stormy scenes at the city convention of the Citizens Union in Cooper Union, caused by the attempt toward the close of the convention to stampede it for the nomination of Henry George for pres- ident of the board of aldermen, did not prevent the carrying out of the pro- gramme to renominate Seth Low for mayor, Edward M.

TOWN OF SOUTH NoRwALK.
Division Committee Issues Call for
 Nominations for Officers.


 Norwalk, Sept 24.--The South Nor walk division committee met last even ing and issued call for the. nomina- tion of officers for the new town of South Norwalk by both parties of the second voting district of the old town of Norwalk. This action was taken by the advice of Judge Stoddard, who is counsel for the diyisionists and maintains that South Norwalk is a separate town. Governor Chamber lain's veto notwithstanding.
 It is the aim of the divisionists to have the party caucuses appoint con- ference committee and put a citizens ticket in the field composed of mem bers of both political parties. The South Norwalk democrats have an nounced that they will stand by the old town and nominate a regular ticket in conjunction with the rest of the town.
 There were but ttjrty-nine out of the division committee of 112 present last evening and 1t is said that lack of interest in the new town movement is the reason. There are hundreds of citizens of South Norwalk who will not believe otherwise than that the governors veto killed the division bill.

LATE ANTlsEm.lE RIOTS,

KishineR Horrors Repeated on a
 Smaller Scale.
 GOMEL, Russia, Sept. 24.-A press correspondent has made an investiga- ton on the spot of the 'spogrom," as the Russians describe the anti-Semite riots, which occurred here Sept. il and were renewed for several days. The xiots were smaller, but perhaps more remarkable than those which took place at Kishineff, because the police and military openly sided with the plunderers and murderers, the ''po- gromshiks," as the Russians called them.
 The troops, supported by many edu- cated and well to do Christians, form ed movable shield behind which the 1pogromshiks" ruthiessly demolished the Jewish homes and shops and cru ely clubbed such Jews as fell into their hands, leisurely proceeding from street to street and district to disteict as they did so.
 The commerce and industry of Go mel, which is considerable. is largely in the hands of the Jewish population. numbering 26,0OO. Few of the residents are wealthy, but none are paupers. The Jewish artisans incline to socialism. The trouble began Sept. Il, holiday (the day of the beheading of John the Baptist in a wrangie in the fruit and fish markets between moujiks (peas- ants) and Jews. The wrangle ended in free fight, in which many were wounded, one moujik succumbing to his injuries. The moujiks demanded vengeance and employed the following days, Saturday and Sunday, in infam- ing the anti Semitic agitation, the lead CTS being an officer named Pensky and a rich merchant named Petrachenko.
 Everybody knew that a pogrom would occur on Monday, and the Jews appealed for protection to Chief of Po- lice Ravsky, who summoned an infan- try regiment from it's summer en- campment. Thus there were 1900 sol diers in the town At luncheon hour on Monday the anti-Semitic railway worlxmen to the number of some hun dreds began an organized attack on the Jewish houses in Zamoykaya street, sacking them and demolishing or spelling the bulky articles by soak ing them with kerosene. Police Chief Ravslky had placed police and troops on the zamovkaya, but they acted az though they were intended to protect the pogromshtks from interference. Jews who tried to cross their lines to rescue their coreligionists were brutal ly clubbed with the soldiers guns, bay oneted or arrested.

FRISCO STRIKES N1ARIANNA.
Frisco Accepts First Survey For It's Memphis-New Orleans Line
 By Way of Marianna.

The Frisco system will construct it's Memphis-New Orleans trunk line directly through Marianna, Ark, as at first announced, though for few days there appeared some doubt as to just what route it would take through Lee county. The initial survey pass ed directly through Marianna, while the second one passed two miles to the east of the town. The first survey has been selected as the one to be used.
 The Frisco made proposition to the Marianna Board of Trade early in Jan- uary that the line would be built di- rectly through the town if that organ ization would guarantee the right-of- way through and to the south line of Lee county. To accept that proposi- tion and secure the new road, it was necessary for the Board of Trade to secure subscriptions aggregating $10,- GOO. These subscriptions were slow in coming up, so the Frisco engineers set about making second survey east of the town and on better grade to get over the ridge on which Marianna is built. After this second survey was started the Board of Trade committee handling the subscription lists became anxious lest the road be lost, so it re- newed the canvass for the remainder of the subsidy fund. The committee work was about concluded last week with the securing of the full amount necessary. Having made the original proposition to go through the town, the Frisco will not use the second sur vey passing to the east.
