Civic pride and cohesion is the ad-

Oakland declared Mayor Warren OIL
ney to-day on his return from the
Southern California trip made by the
Oakland Board of Trade.
THE people in Los Angeles pull to-
gether Their pride in their city is
tremendous. Their enthusiasm for Los
Angeles is marvellous" continued the
Mayor. But in nothing else does the
Southern California city compare with
Oakland. Our city has better streets,
cleaner and more inviting. But the
Los Angelenos have built artificial
lakes and surrounded them with parks.
Eliminate the great tourist travel and
Los Angeles would not stand compar1-
son with Oakland. Our natural advan-
tages are so far ahead Of theirs that
the lead is too great for contrast.
Mayor Olney declared that the gar
bage incinerating plant in Los Angeles
was odorless, though primitive as COM
pared with the plant in Oakland. His
Honor complimented the Angelenos for
their hospitality and the efforts OF offl-

"rHE OLD SCRATCH.
How the Evil One Came to BE Popularity
Known as "The Old Scratch"

One of the many familiar names of his
satanic majesty is The Old Scratch" 1t
is undoubtedly due to the fact that
scratching is so disagreeable that people
thought it no worse than the evil one. A
scalp full of dandruff keeps one scratch
ing all the time; not only disagreeable
but considered very inelegant in polite
society-aS it should be-because one
ought to keep the scalp so clean that it
would not itch. To cure the scalp of
dandruff effectively. use Newbro's Herpi-
eide. 1t kills the germ that creates the
dandruff which is preliminary to falling
hair, and. finally. badness. No other
hair preparation kills the dandruff germ.
Herpicide also is a very delightful and
effective hair dressing. Sold by leading
druggists. Send 10c in stamps for sample
to The Herpicide Co., Detroit, Mich.

the board of regents of the University
of California, was taken from the
County Jail to-day and gave his testi-

the regents against w. A. Knowles.

Friday.
The land in question covers an area
of nearly fifty acres, which Knowles
bought from the regents for $4,000.
He still owes $26, 1893 81 on it, but in
the meantime has subdivided it and

The man found floating in Mid
die Island creek yesterday morn
ing, near the Holmes ferry, has
been identified as that Of Ollie
Ankrom of Wick, this county. He
was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Basil
Ankrom. Deceased was in the
twentieth year of his life, and
unmarried.
The young man left home on
Saturday morning last in COM
pany with four other men from
Wick. After crossing the creek
at the Holmes ferry young Ank-
rom left his companions, so it is
claimed, stating that he had de-
cided to return to his home.
That was the last seen Of him un-
til his body was found floating in
the creek. No marks of violence
were found upon his body, and the
supposition at this writing IS
that he attempted to swim the
creek and was drowned. Every
indication points to this theory
so far as developments have pro-
crossed. The only clothing he
had on was a shirt and panta-
looms. When he left home he had
about 81 in silver, and when found
he had $2.O5 on his person.
A few years ago the young
man was seriously injured about
the head in railroad wreck,

covered. The accident, it is
claimed. by his relatives, affected
his mind.
Justice Lowther went out to
the creek yesterday, arriving at
the scene where the body had
been brought to the shore, about
l o'clock. He at once empaneled
a jury and proceeded to hold an
inquest, but owing to the fact
that a number of important wit
nesses resided in different parts
of the county, only preliminary
investigation was made yesterday.
The jury was released until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, at
which hour the investigation
will be resumed at the office OF
Justice G.. l.. Lowther. The father
of deceased requested the Justice
to make a thorough investigation
of the matter.
The remains were brought to
this city about 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon and after being
properly prepared for burial by
Undertaken A. M. Rice, they were
conveyed to the home of the pa
rents, near Wick.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted this afternoon at 2 o'clock
and were attended by a large

and friends.
