There's a magic spell in the
fames of good, pure Coffee, the kind
that refreshes and invigorates even by
the odor alone. When the fragrance
f oar pure Coffee reaches the no
trils it crates a desire to taste at once
the magnetic nectar from which the
aroma comes. It i the same way
with our choice Teas, which satisfy
the desires of the most particular
tea-drinkers. '

IT'S A GOOD THING TO REFER
to the reputation of a store before
making any important purchases
therein. Before you buy is the time
to look up the matter. Ask questions.
-Find out if the store you intend pa
tronizing keeps its pledges. Be sure
that you learn if it sells the qualities
it claims; if it treats ts customers
honestly and fairly, then, if satisfied,
buy there. Do all the asking you
wish about us among your friends,
and that you will result in your com
ing here regularly.

Pursuant to the published call of
its Democratic sponsors, the meet
ing of the CitUens' party last night
was wetl attended, and for the first
hour of its duration, was quite rep
resentative, but this was steadily re
duced as the convention proceeded
and by the time thc-crux was reach
ed, the nominations for the mayor
alty, it had shrunk to its normal and
primal elements, that of a purely
Democratic assemblage; and this
with evervthine the real leader, of
the local Democracy wanted, sealed,
and all but delivered.
With a complete and forecasted
staff of officers, headed by Dr. Al
fred Kinney, Democrat; with Aubrey
D. Garner, Democrat, for secretary;
with a Democratic committee on
rules, consisting of Messrs. Lebeck,
Gaston (Republican), and Young,
and a Democratic commute of plat
form in the persons of Messrs. Ev
ans, Smith and Knobloch (the lat
ter one of the only two concessions
to the Republican interests present),
the trend of the business was early
and clearly "divined, and the divina
tion' lost nothing by way of proof in
every detail that followed. The two
main committees were sent out to
formulate their reports and when
these arrived they but confirmed the
actual status of the convention. This
with A. M. Smith, master of cere
monies, fixed the range and angle of
procedure beyond all fear of failure.
Ward committees, consisting of
those present from each of the four
wards, were called upon to retire
and make their several nominations
for the long and short terms for the
water 'commission and the common
council" and ;.ihiti '.'reporting, showed
the following resultst
First WardWater Commission, 8
year term, Asmus 'Brix'; 4 year term,
Franz Kankkonen. Council 4 year

Fourth Ward Water Commission,

land.5 ; .: :
These were all promptly ratified
by the convention as a whole; and in
this behalf, and beyond the touch
and influence of the urbane master
of the hour, there was some freedom
of expression and action that stood
for the Republican desires of those
present.
Andrew Young was then nominat
ed for Water Commissioner at large,
and this was fully ratified, as was
the nomination of Jens Hanson, for
the office of councilman at large, im
mediately following. And Charles H.
Abercrombie was given the undis
puted nomination for the city attor
neyship, "is the next office in se
quence for consideration.
'The office of Auditor and Police
iidge went to bluf Anderson with a
unanimous bang of good will from
the whole house, and was happily
received by the nominee who made a
clever talk in response to the honor
conferred. This process was dupli
cated oh the, instant in the case of
Thomas Dealeys nomination for con
tinuance in the city treasuryship, .he,
too, responded feelingly when called
upon. And the nomination to the
city surveyorship went to Alfred S.
Tee on equally free and friendly
convention the mayoralty contest
There were three nominees, ' to-wit
Samuel Elmore, Isaac Bergman, and
A. M. Smith; and in this particular
a clever little ruse was employed
that was not thought of in the case
of the four aspirants for the street
superintendency. The genial boss of
the situation moved that when th
triangular vote was cast and count
ed, that the lowest man be eliminat
ed, and a new vote be taken as be
tween the remaining candidates, and
this prevailed, of course; so that
when the totals were announced glv
ing Mr. Elmore 80 votes, Mr. Berg
man 89, and Mr. Smith 131, the Re
publican nominee was dropped, and
the vote of the house recast, result
ing in favor of A. M. Smith at the
ratio of 148 to 111 for Mr. Bergman,
and Mr. Smith was declared, tinani
mously, the nominee of the conven
tion, which was pretty good work
for the man who 24 hours earlier
sought nothing at the hands of the
people save the modest nomination
and gift of an election to the police
commissionership.
Mr. Smith, with the modesty that
makes him just what he is, the
"bos of the city," returned his sur
prised thanks for the unexpected
honor, in a neat little speech, with
which the convention he had domi
nated from beginning to end, closed
within the half hour of midnight
It was simply a re-hash of the
same old inimitable story that has
been told in this city so many times,
and for which Republican lethargy
and stupidity are (directly rcsponsi
ble.
In the course of conversation with
Mr. Smith after the meeting was
over that gentleman made the dec
laration that under no circumstances,
in the event of his election to the
mayoralty this year, would he be
candidate for re election to that of
fice. And he meant it

derground streams in Southern Cal
ifornia, depend upon rainfall within
their territory and do not come frpm
listant sources, according to geo
logical survey reports. The reports
say that the important subterannean
basins in Southern California are
supplied with water which falls upon
the immediate surface or flows
through the ground from tributary
streams. There have been theories
that waters from the distant Sierras,
or the Colorado river, or the Pacific
Ocean may, by underground chan
nels or by seepage, reach the San
Gabriel valley of the Pomona neigh
Many of the largest water systems
are dependent upon the subsidiary
plants to keep up their supplies,
during the summer and fall and in a
number of places pumped or artesian
waters are the sole dependence of
thriving communities. A conserva
tive estimate of the proportion f
underground water now used during
the late summer periods after dry
winters, when the surface supply is '
lowest and the pumps are busiest,
is as three or four to one.

LIKE VOICE FROM DEAD.
NEW YORK, Oct 26.-Although
he has been dead for several months,
the voice of Ira D. Sankey, the noted
evangelist, was again heard last
night in the Simpson Methodist
Church in Brooklyn. Strangely
thrilled, the large congregation
heard the notes of the well known
voice reproduced from a phonograph
into which Mr. Sankey sang a num
ber of his hymns a short time before
hfe died. The hymns reproduced
were "The Ninety and Nine," 'Hid
ing In Thee," "There Is No Dark
Valley," and "Jesus of Nazareth Is
Passing By."
BOY SHOT IN BACK.
FRESNO, Cal. Oct. 26. Carl
Berg, a 17-year-old boy was shot and
instantly killed yesterday by' Henry
Lung, a companion of the same' age,
while the victim and his slayer with
several other boys were out hunting.
Lung claims that Berg was shot ac
cidentally, but is detained at the city
prison pending an investigation' of
the shooting. It is said that the
wound in Berg's - back is powder
burned, showing that the bullet was
fired at close range. Lung affirms
that he had been shooting at squir
rels and had dropped behind, but
,vas unable to say how the shooting
occurred.
RACES NEARLY OVER.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26-Thc last
New, York race meeting of the sea
son will begin tomorrow at Jamaica. )
Instead of the usual full two weeks, I
however, there will be but five days
this year. The racing days will be
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of
this week and Monday and Wednes
day of next week. Purses have been
cut down much to the disguest of
those who say there is no reason for
this action as the track made $80,000
at the Spring meeting and has never
had a losing day since it was opened.
Following this meeting larg numbers
of horses will be shipped to New
Orleans and California, where racing
will be conducted all winter.
