No doubt the readers of the newspapers of this city have noticed the largo adver tisements on Ogden which tho firm of C. E. ilayne & Co. have been doing. This linn also has some subdivisions to sell. To satisfy the public that this firm is reliable, one of the proprietors of the lost, while visiting Ogdeu, became acquainted with -Mr. Mayne, and through his persuasion made an investment, and inside of three weeks doubled his capital, This is a fact.— Evening Post, Aug. ldth. Salmon Selling Cheap. Owing to some trouble between the fisher men on the Sacramento Kiver and the can nery men, the lislicrmen shipped a large quantity "of salmon to this city yesterday by the Sacramento boat.' which sold on the dock at 25 cents each. Tliey weighed from fifteen tv forty pounds each, and hundreds were carried away al that price. Mr. Lynde, i of Lynde & Hough, heard of the slaughter and hurried to the dock and offered 5 cents a pound for all that was left. r As the fisher men paid 7. cents a fish freight, they were glad to accept his offer. Lynde then made arrangements to buy 2000 fish daily for his cannery at California City. PRECINCT BOARDS. A Demand to Be Made for Equal Representation. The Republican County Committee is waking up, and the indications now are that Auditor Strother. the blatant mouth piece of the Democratic Boss, will not be allowed to dictate the entire control of the coming election. At the next meeting of the Board of Elec tion Commissioners Meyer Jacobs, Chair man of the Kepublican . County Committee, with Judge Dibble and M. A. Horn as counsel, will appear before the board to de mand a hearing in the matter of the amend ment of Section 1112 of the Political Code, which provides for an equal representation of both parties on the precinct registration and election boards. Thus far the com mission, wliich is made up of four Democrats to one Kepublican, has carried tilings with a nigh hand, and instead ot proceeding to appoint precinct boards under the amended law, took for its authority the old section of the Registration Act, which gives the parly in power a representation of two to one against the weaker side. At the last meeting of the commission the intention of Mr. Strother was called to the amended law by Mr. Jacobs, and a de mand made for the rights of the party, but Mr. Strother pushed the matter aside with the air and pomp of a dictator, informing Mr, Jacobs that that question had been definitely settled by the board and would not he considered again. Of course, the publican County Com mittee had nothing to do at that time but to retire, but not, by any means in tlie attitude of defeat. The committee leaders are de termined that if Strother attempts again to deny them a hearing they will drag him into the court by the persuasive means of a man damus, and see if he will undertake to dic tate to the Judge. How the hearing may turn out cannot even be conjectured at this time, but it is certain that if the commission refuses to recognize and act upon the amended section of the Political Code the matter will be taken into court for judicial construction. The whole situation, so iar as the Demo cratic party is concerned, may be summed up in one word— desperation. At the last election that party lost the Tax Collector's oflice, the Recorder's ollice, the District At torney's ollice and the Sheriff's office, and, having previously lost the County Clerk's office, there was nothing but the Assessor's left in which to feed the enormous gang of parasites that infests the party and that has always led heretofore on municipal pap. Every corrupt measure that can be de vised is to be put in use, to the end that these lost "snaps" may be regained. A MYSTERY STILL. Bobbery Said to Bo the Cause of Jacobson's Murder. The mysterious shooting of Samuel M. Jacobson Sunday morning on his own door step by two masked men is as far as ever from being solved, and the detectives now state, with more certainty than ever, that they believe he was killed by footpads. They oiler the history of footpads' crimes in support of their views, sayiug that all such cases have been invariably alike. Chief Crowley has communicated with the Governor, asking him to offer a reward of $300 for information leading to the ar rest of the murderers. With the $200 the Chief oilers, the sum might induce some ac complice or acquaintance of the culprits to inform on them. The Coroner impaneled a jury yesterday and will ask them to view the remains at the house previous to holding au inquest at tin. Morgue.

On account of the strike among Duns nuiir'a miners in the Wellington mine there is very little of this coal on the market. ... It was recently reported that the strike had ended, but upon investigation this was found to be untrue. Out of about 900 men employed in the mine only about HO are at work, and these are only employed In the old tunnels. Since the strike Wellington lias advanced to Sll per ton, and unless the miners return to work, which is not proba ble, a still greater advance may be expected. Now comes the information that the Paci fic Improvement Company's coal mines at Carbon Hill are closed, or about to close, by virtue of an injunction served on the company at the instigation of the Fish Com mission, that body claiming that the ac cumulation of debris in the Carbonado Kiver, caused by washing therein, was kill ing off the fish. • , F. S. Douty, Secretary of the Pacific Im provement Company, thinks that the new order coming at the same time with the Wellington trouble will seriously • incon venience the public in general by putting coal at a very high figure.

John Morgan Sboolg nimself Instead of Ihe Oilier Ainu. At 2.50 o'clock yesterday morning a pistol shot was heard in front of the Cafe Koyal on the Fourth-street side. A number of policemen gathered at the spot in a few minutes, as well as several newspaper men on their way home. Upon reaching the spot it was found that a man was just rising from the cutter, while another was gazing about iv a dazed condition.'. Both were placed in custody and taken down to the Southern Station, where the following facts developed themselves. It seems Mr. Frederick George, an Aus tralian solicitor, who has recently reached California's shores and was but a few days ago admitted to practice in her courts, had been iv the Cafe Royal with a party of friends, who, upon coming out prepara tory to going homo, were standing on the curb engaged in conversation, when a man of no mean appearauce, but considerably under the Influence oi liquor, came up and accosted the party. None of the party knew him and paid no further attention to linn than to turn their backs ou bim, whereupon the stranger jostled up against the young Australian, who being a mau of splendid physique, nearly six feet tall and weighing no less than 200 pounds, and not accustomed to such salutations in his country, gave the stranger a shove which landed him on his back out in the street. The moment the stranger fell a pistol was fired. Doth men wero taken in custody, and upon reaching the Southern Station the stranger gave his name as John Morgan, which was probably not his correct name. Upou being searched ho was found to have besides the pistol taken from him a gold watch, a diamond ling and diamond stud and some mouey. A charge of carrying concealed weapons was booked against him, and he was about to bo locked up fer the night wheu it was found that the pistol shot had gone through his overcoat pocket and upon a closer examination that it had penetrated his own right leg. The wound had nut bled any and be had felt no especial inconvenience (rom it, except that he thought he had hurt his leg in the fall. He declined to talk about the matter further. He was taken to lhe Keceiving Hospital, where the bullet was extracted by Dr. Key. In the morning he was released on bail in the sum of s'-M. ■ ; :-'-■: -; CIN'DEUELLA Ai'iiLSH. A St. Paul Girl's Misadventure After a l'nrty. • An interestius sight was witnessed early one morning recently by two night-workers while wending their weary homeward way up Wabash street, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press. A young couple, who had evidently put in the night at sonic dancing-hall, had stopped on the opposite side of the street, and the lady was endeavoring to change her dancing slippers for her walking shoes. Her pedal extremities were of course some what swollen by the night's dancing, and her efforts to make the change were futile. Her companion ' then came to the rescue, but their combined efforts were unavailing. Filially the attempt was given up. and she concluded to replace her slippers; but, 10l when she attempted to do so she found that her feet bad swollen to such an extent that it was impossible to wear them. Here was a dilemma sure enough. A hasty con sultation was held, and her escort took off his shoes and handed them to his fair com panion. They were just the fit, and soon the couple continued tlieir homeward jour ney, the gentleman in his-stockiug feet. . THE WORLD'S FAIR. ■ ■ First Meeting of the Local Association In This City.
