SUPREME COURT DECIDES
IN FAVOR OF NEW PARTY
"Nonpartisan judicial Is
Upheld in Controversy
With Commission

The nonpartisan judicial party, which
was not allowed a place on the ballot of
November, 1906, should have been adj
mitted. according to a decision of the
supreme court handed down yesterday.
Judge Shaw. in an opinion concurred in
by the remainder of the supreme bench,
decided that the nonpartisan judicial
party, represented by e. II. Cosgriff in
the suit before the court, was entitled
to writ of mandamus to compel the
board Of election commissioners and
Registrar G. p. Adams to place its can--
didates upon the official ballot. At the
time Adams claimed that the nonpar-
tisan party was too late with it's candi-
dates, not having produced them 90
days before the election. The supreme
court in it's decision held that because
of a legal day party by appearing on
October IT was within the time re-
quired by law. The purpose of the court
in rendering the decision at this late
day was to establish a precedent
If the nonpartisan candidates had
been allowed on the ballot they would
have represented an eighth party, and
the voting machines had room only for
seven. The writ of mandamus orig
inally issued to instruct the registrar
to enter the ballot was not obeyed on
account of the 90 day limit, which was
supposed to have been passed.

Within three days of the summer va
cation of the brokers of the San Fran
cisco stock and exchange board, the
vacation beginning next Saturday and
continuing until July s, the mining
stock market in this city is declared
by the wisest men in the street 20
be fully UP to the summer average
This conclusion as based on the amount
of money that is represented in the
actual transactions of the brokers each
day.
The sales on the San Francisco stock
and exchange board yesterday. for in
stance. amounted to S17,3S7 for shares
of the Goldheld Consolidated Mines,
$25,S55 for shares of the Jumbo Exten
sion and $4,000 in round figures for
Combination Fraction. Hence, more
than $50. 900 was involved in the deals
OF one day in these three stocks alone
The sales of all stocks each day
amount to something like 200. 900
shares. Again taking yesterday for an
example and the total of the days
deals is found to amount to 2S1, 900
shares, of which 126,S00 were sold on
the regular call board and $4,000 in
informal session. At an average rate
of so cents a share, which is low, rather
than high, the total value of the shares
taken in at the rates agreed upon
would amount TO more tnan $l90,OOO.
These figures are advanced to show
that, while the market is dull by COM
parison, the amount of business is yet
respectable and amounts, on the prices
given out officially in the San Fran
cisco stock and exchange list, to more
than $1,000,000 a week and near $1,000
600 month. Some of the sales do not
represent actual transfers of cash, but
these are supposed to be a relatively
small part of the whole. This ought
to be said in Justice to San Francisco
as continuing market for mining
shares
The sales of southern Nevada shares
opened a few points off yesterday
morning and there were additional de-
clines during the day, Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines shading Off to Sc, Com
bination Fraction dropping from s2.55
to $2.45, while Jumbo Extension in the
informal session advanced from S165
TO SL721k. The huctuation in most
stocks was slight and the general tone

VOTING MACHINES WILL
Be BOUGHT Or RENTED
Election Commission Awaits
Action of Supervisors
on Suggestions

After thoroughly. discussing the sub
ject Of voting machines yesterday aft
ernoon the election commissioners de-
cided to refer to the finance committee
of the board of supervisors the matter
Of purchasing or renting voting ma
chimes for the next election. A COM
mittee from the commission will wait
upon the city fathers, present their
views and await suggestions If funds
are available the machines Will 8 be
either bought or rented. and if ho
money is in sight the matter will have
to rest for while.
The representatives of the Standard
and Federal machines sent in bids,
which were opened and read. The for
mer company offers to rent to the city
any number of machines for $40 each
for the election. The latter concern will
rent the machines for $50 each, freight
prepaid, and give the commission an
option on the purchase of the machines
for one year, discounting $50 for each
one used in the election.
The city owns So Standard machines
and is renting 120. Thirteen more are
needed for the coming election, if this
particular make is decided upon. Should
the commission want the other make
il will be necessary to rent or purchase
outright IS5 machines.
The secretary of the commission was
instructed to notify the registrar TO
send in a list of names of all qualified
election officers on or before July To-
A circular will also be sent to the
central committee Of the political par
ties requesting them to forward the
names of the men they have in mind
for the coming primary elections.
A communication was read from Sec
retary of State Curry, who is desirous
of knowing as soon as possible the
f,nlr Tsol<
number Of candidates who will be IN
the field next fall This will be acted
upon at so1he future meeting of the

was one of steadiness. Bonnie Clare
had spurt based on a story of ore
discoveries and the stock went upward
from 39c to 5Sc, with sales as reported
amounting to less than $500 shares.
Columbia Mountain dropped to 34c, Dia-

gains for Gold Bar and Go1dfieId Ke-
wanas. The losses were more numer-

story that w. 6. Doubleday, bro
ker, was about to leave San Francisco

he had no intention of moving from

W[LLs-FARGO WILL NOT
RETURN EMPT|Es FREE
Another Burden Is Added
to Shipper of Country
Produce

The Wells-Fargo express company
has announced to country shippers and
merchants that beginning today the
practice of returning empty packages
free of charge would be discontinued
and a system of charges on all recep-
tacles used for transporting produce,
merchandise and live stock to market
would go into effect. The company will
also cease calling for and hauling
empties from the stores to the railroad
depots. Hereafter all empty packages
must be delivered to the company S
agents and the charges prepaid.
What the company calls nominal
rates for the transportation of empties
have been established They range
from cents to 25 cents, according to
size and weight. In It's circular the
company states that the loss of time
in shipping empties and the universal
dissatisfaction attending the system of
returning them free of charge prompted
the change from the old practice. An
elaborate schedule of charges to be
made on boxes, coops, barrels and
other receptacles accompanies the cir
cular.
Local merchants say that the charges
of the express company for transport
ing empties. as well as the cost of eart-
age between the stores and railroad
depots, will have to be borne blythe
farmers and other country shippers
AS the railroad companies will continue
to make returns free Of charge 1t is
probable that many shippers who for
nierIy shipped by express will now for
ward their produce or merchandise by
freight. aa (.
The idea. is new to California; but has
long beensin vogue in the east The
use of receptacle only once is con-
sidered desirable from sAnitarye stand
point. as it means that poultry meat
and food products are sent to market
in packages that are entirely new and
perfectly clean.

Atlantic City, Aug. 26.-When Miss
Bessie Winton, a Lebanon girl, dropped
a coin on the boardwalk, and started
a lively chase as it rolled toward a
wide crack, the crowd in the vicinity
halted it's promenade and showed an
amused interest in the proceedings.
When Miss Bessie failed to catch the
coin and saw it roll into the gaping
crack the crowd became a little more
Interested, but, supposing that it was
a penny or, at the most, a quarter,
was preparing to move on with it's

Then the pretty girl broke into tears,
which got her more attention, and as a
final she sobbed out that the lost coin
vas a $40 gold piece. sole foundation
for another weeks stay. The interest
surged into excitement that took 200
men and women down boardwalk steps
to the beach and on q wild hunt for
the missing twenty.
The crowd hunted While the girl
hunted and wept. but, unless some
y%oungster or hard-hearted grown-up
managed to slip the double eagle away
during the excitement of the hunt, it
is still lying in the soft sand.
An hour was consumed in the
search, but SO far as is '-nown, nobody
located the missing coin. The girl was
still in tears when she was at last
