There has been in the last week or two a revival of President-making politics in Washington.

The assiduously cultivated boom of Vice President Fairbanks is apparently the WASHINGTON, D. Feb. 9, 1907. After a period of discussion and inaction long drawn out the lower House of Congress has finally gotten down to real work and it is probable that the time which remains before the adjournment, March fourth, will be most productive. The River and Harbor bill, which calls for a big appropriation, has been passed without single dissenting vote.

4, County of Napa, State of California. NOTICE OF BOND ELECTION. the Denatured Alcohol law. The I most flourishing. He is understood DELINQUENT Mrs.

Anna Haake, an old and respected lesident of Napa county, passed away at noon yesterday at her residence, 4 Stockton street, which has been her home for the past ten years. Mrs. Haake was sixty-three years of age and a native of County Callaway, Ireland, from which country she moved over forty years ago, coming direct to Napa county to reside. She left for a return trip to her birthplace a few years after arriving here, and in passing through New York became acquainted with John Haake, whom she afterwards married. Napa county always had a particular attraction for her, and after the wedding ceremony she persuaded Mr.

Haake to move with her to this county, and together they settled upon a farm at Oak Knoll, becoming prosperous as the years rolled by. Six children were born to gladden their lives, but only five of these are now-living. They are Mrs. Martha Bales and Mrs. Mary Durriman, both of this city; John and Edwin Haake of Sun Francisco; Mrs.

T. J. Hayes of Stockton; and Miss Kate Haake, of this city. Mrs. Haake had been a sufferer from paralysis for many years and often complained of not feeling well and of suffering from minor attacks of the disease.

Last Sunday she was takn down with a stroke which gradually became worse and which finally caused her end. Site was resigned when death drew near, and up to a few minutes of the end was able to recognize her family, the members of which had been summoned to her bedside when it was seen that she had not much longer to live. Her sister, Mrs. William Hasson, formerly of Vallejo, but now residing in San Francisco, was also near at hand when the Death Angel arrived. The deceased was well known in Vallejo and also in San Francisco.

Her husband is now lying ill at the family residence, but his condition is not expected to be serious. He has been retired from active life for the past ten years. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon from the Catholic Church FOR THE YEAR 1906 Napa High School District. of the City of Napa WHEREAS, Napa High School District in the County of Napa, State of California, is now maintaining a high school; and WHEREAS, The building now in use for high school purposes in Napa High School District is old, inadequate and inconvenient in arrangement and insufficiently equipped with necessary furniture and apparatus for the purposes of said school, and will, if continued in use, require the expenditure of large sums of money from time to time to adapt said building to the purposes and necessities of a high school and to equip the same to meet the requirements of said school and under the most favorable conditions such expenditures would fail to meet the requirements of a high schorl for Napa High any length of School District for to have organizations throughout the South and the delegations from that section which will probably not furnish a Republican vote in the Electoral College are thought to be in a measure already corraled by him. The trusts and especially the railroad combination are friendly to Fairbanks.

There are many indeed who look upon him as Harrimans representative. He has put probably ten times more money into his campaign than any other candidate. It is estimated that his entertaining in Washington has cost him not much less than the Presidents salary of fifty thousand dollars a year. His fine residence within three blocks of the White House is a social centre of but little less activity and interest tiian that of the White House itself. Politics is a business with both the Vice President and Mrs.

Fairbanks, and has been for many years. People here are apt to attribute the three elopements in the Fairbanks family to their mothers activity in D. A. R. matters and politics which kept her away from her children when they most needed her companionship.

Whether that is true or not Mrs. Fairbanks is a politician and a diplomat. She has the exact estimate of the influence of every one of prominence at her fingers ends and she invites to her house and entertains every one in the country who can be supposed to yield influence in the Presidential struggle. She takes up whole families of newspaper men especially, and she cultivates the wives and daughters of Congressmen with an assiduity that is marvelous considering how uninteresting the work is. She is cordial, tactful and ingratiating with votes everywhere and in the splendor and lavishness of her entertainments it is her object to make everyone go away saying, "What a woman for the White House.

Probably her greatest trial of years has been this Winters illness, which has compelled her for a time to forego all society and to be an exile in Atlantic City. Her work has been turned over to her married daughter who seems after long period of complete lack of sympathy with her mothers ambition to have at last awakened to the game and she plays it with scarcely less skill than Mrs. Fairbanks. She is young, good looking, the counterpart of her mother and fast becoming a social idol. There is another social centre, just around the corner from the Fairbanks home which is presided over by a woman who is scarcely inferior in social skill to the Vice Presidents wife.

She is generous in size, in social favors and she can play either a political game or a game of poker just about as well as her distinguished father, the Speaker of the House. There are always people leaving Miss Cannons house too, saying with enthusiastic approval. "What a woman for the White House. Naval appropriation bill is now under consideration and will probably be railroaded through like the others. The River and Harbor discussion has brought to light one important fact which has been generally overlooked by some of the most ardent advocates of the bill and which will probably be made the subject of investigation by Congress.

It is claimed that the wharfage facilities of nearly all of the navigable rivers are controlled by the railroads and it is seldom that shippers can get the benefit of cheaper transportation for their products by water owing to the fact that the terminals are held by the railroads who make their own charges for wharf privileges. Thus there is in reality no competition between the tw'o classes of freight carriers since the railroads after all owning the Wharves control the freight rates. The debate on the Denatured Alcohol bill was concluded by the pertinent remark of Representative Champ Clark, who said: This bill is Intended to enable farmers to take advantage of the bill passed last June. Every one wants it but the whiskey trust, the wood alcohol trust and the coal oil trust. This bill, which Is of such concern to a great part of our population, now goes to the Senate, and there is a possibility that It will be passed.

Speaker Cannon Is well known to have opposed the bill in the House, but the Speaker has been confined to his home with the grip during which time he has rather lost his grip on Congressional affairs. When some one called him up and asked, Shall we let the Denatured Alcohol bill go, he Bhouted over the phone, Yes, let the bill go; let it go to It went, but so far has not reached the destination prayed for by the Speaker. There will probably be no extra session including both Houses of Congress, but it is almost certain that there will be an extra session of the Senate. The reason is that the Democrats of the Senate as it now stands are able to thwart the ratification of the new Santo Domingo treaty, but after March the fourth there will be a sufficient number of new Republican Senators to carry the treaty over Democratic opposition. It is unfor-tunatV44iat the Senate of the United States dlvicteflon party lines in matters relatingo foreign policies.

There is eertainly not in this Santo Domingan question any politics that is strictly Democratic or strictly Republican. The proposition to lease Government lands to cattlemen for grazing purposes is being agitated again in Congressional circles and a large delegation of cattlemen and lobbyists is here to support the plan. An effort will be made to have provision covering the proposition put in the Agricultural appropriation bill as an amendment, the text of w'hich has already been suggested by Senator Burkett. The amendment author- 8TATEOF CALIFORNIA, a County of Napa Notice is hereby given that default has been made in the payment of taxes due the City of Napa for the fiscal year 1906 upon the real estate and personal property hereinafter described.

If. THOMPSON, City Tax Collector for the City of Napa. Original Eli 1latt was having a hard time to make a living. lie went from house to house selling any little article he could get a dealer to trust him with, and his life was passed principally in looking in at doors which were slammed in his face. One day, receiving no answer to his ring at a handsome residence, he tried the knob, opened the door and walked in.

Hearing no Bound, he reconnoitered as far as the second story, from a back window of which he saw a woman in the yard hanging up clothes. The premises had evidently beeu left in her care. Fulling opeu a bureau drawer, he saw box aud, opening the box, a small fortune in jewels. The human mind is capable of great deliberation In a very small space of time. Eli Flatfs certainly was.

He had never stolen or robbed. Indeed, he had calculated the chances of such methods and knew they were decided ly against dishonesty. The goods were usually recovered, and the thief went to state prison. Platt concluded to take the jewels, hide them, suffer the consequences of the theft and when free man again recover the treasure and take a good long comfortable rest He decided and acted deliberately, not on the usual impulse of a thief. That night he took the jewels to block on which the only building was a brick junkshop.

Somebody had once taught him to find the north star by the pointer stars, so he took thirty steps from the northwest corner of the junkshop toward the north star, stop ped and, with a rusty shovel he found outside the juukshop, dug a hole and buried his treasure. He had been seen coming away with the jewels aud when they were missed was arrested, identified and sent to the penitentiary. Seven years later Eli Flatt, Just dis charged, sauntered by the block where he had buried the jewels. A number of buildings had been erected; but, fortunately for Ell, he recognized the junk shop, though it was now used for a feed store. He looked toward the spot where he had buried his treasure and saw that it was covered by the rear end of a chapel.

The roof of this end was rounded up to a point, on which was a cross. If his miud was capable of deliberation, It was also capable of calling up pictures As he looked at the cross he saw an old woman kneeliug at an allar. She was his mother. Then he saw himself toddling along by her side to church, later his confirmation. And now the treasure he had taken from nuother and had suffered seven long years to possess was sheltered by a sacred temple guarded by the holy emblem of the cross.

Life, like the world, is of two hemispheres. To pass from one earthly hemisphere to another may require weeks, perhaps months. A passage from one spiritual hemisphere to another may be accomplished in a fraction of a second. As Eli looked up at what as a child he had been taught to reverence it occurred to him that It had been placed over his treasure that no hand should p-ofnne It. For what purpose? To sive his soul.

By whom? She who Ind long passed to her heavenly home Ills mother. In a twinkling was changed. In a twinkling that wli'c'i in prison he had looked forwird to longingly, count lng the days between him and its possession, had l.ec mo only a means by which he mi lit I) rescued from evil. Going to the front of tlie chapel, he found the doors open and entered. There was the stIlness of a house of worship when no se vices were being held.

Several poo de were kneeling be fore the altar, no went forward and dropped on his knees. Long he stayed immovable, bis head bowed upon his breast, ne was thinking of the oid woman who took him to church when lie was a little boy how, doubtless, she bad waited while he was In prison for this moment, how she had Interceded for him and how in the Inscrutable ways of tlie heavenly hosts all tliis had been brought about. Beside the altar was a booth shielded by a curtain in which a priest was hearing confession. When tlie confessor came out Eli Tlatt entered and told tlie priest tlie story of his theft, his endurance for its final possession and where lie had buried his treasure. The next day the priest conducted tlie chief of police and a party of workmen to the cellar of tlie chapel.

Taking up tlie cement floor, they dug in the earth, and a few feet under the surface directly beneatii the cross they found a box of jewels. They were sent to their rightful owners. A few days after their return the priest sent for Eli Platt and told him that a lady who had been the possessor of what he bad stolen had been so pleased at getting her property again that she had sent him a present of $500. Eli declined to touch a cent of It. It all belongs to me, not as a thing to be converted into money, but as a key by which my better nature has been unlocked.

It was kept for me by my old mother In heaven, who put this chapel and the cross over it that I might find it to work a miracle on my return. Eli Hatt, though a converted man, though his conscience Is far tenderer than that of millions of his brothers, remains an ex-convict, and as such his road Is more thorny than before. But there is no temptation for him to attempt to ameliorate his condition by dishonesty. He Is waiting for release, for a different reward, in the hereafter! Is he not nearer than his fellows to that Christianity when to be a Christian meant martyrdom? FRANK P. CHENEY.

H. THOMPSON, Tax Collector for the Cily of Nupa. Constable George Seeord and 'wife and Mr. and Mrs. Julien Seeord arrived in this city from Reno, yesterday morning, the latter couple to spend several days in this city as the guests of the Constable and his family.

In speaking of his recent trial at Reno for the alleged murder of a man named Delaney, Julien Se cord could not find words sufficient to tell of the achievements of Attorney Theodore A. Bell, who astonished not only the court hut the entire court room at Reno by his eloquent speech in behalf of Julien Seeord last Saturday night. Every one in attendance freely expressed themselves as very much affected by the speech made by Mr. Bell, and when it is stated that even the eyes of the jury filled with tear; during the course of his remarks, some idea of the sincerity in hioh lie spoke in my behalf can be imagined, said Mr. Seeord yesterday.

I do not believe that there is a living person who could have put the facts, the plain facts, before the jury in any such a manner as he did, and I felt satisfied when he had concluded his address that I would be a free man. I never had a doubt before or after the trial that there was the least shadow of a chance for them to convict me of the offense with which I was charged, for I do not believe that another person could have acted in any different manner than I did." The Reno papers in speaking of Mr. Bells remarkable plea for his client term it one of the most eloquent talks to a jury that has ever been heard in the Nevada courts, and the speech of the Napa attorney is quoted almost entirely in the accounts of the closing hours of the trial given in the papers of last Sunday. They tell of the comparison of the two lives, of the deceased and Julien Seeord, of which Mr. Bell drew such a vivid picture.

He told of the deranged manner in which Delaney acted when intoxicated, and how he afterwards tore the bandages from his head while in the hospital. Then, on the other hand, he told of the quiet life of Julien Se-cord, as established by numerous character witnesses. It took but forty minutes for the jury after it retired to arrive at a unanimous verdict of not guilty. A. McDonald, a Scotchman, who lives in the Potrero, wras discussing the Japanese question yesterday and concluded his remarks with the emphatic declaration that all foreigners should be excluded from the United States.

He was knocked down by a Greek laborer, picked up by an Italian and assisted by two Swedes to the Harbor Hospital, where Dr. Walsh, a descendant of Irish kings, took three stitches in McDonalds lip and pasted a collodion patch over his right eye. S. F. Call.

The Sacramento correspondent of the S. F. Call writes as follows: State Printer W. W. Shannon has a hew kind of record to his credit.

No Superintendent of State Printing ever held such wonderful bargain sales. He didnt give things away, but he came very close to it. In one instance he sold for a trifling sum a press that the present owner values at more than $2,000. When Shannon was put on the carpet by the Ways and Means Committee two weeks ago he told of selling three 'worn out and worthless printing presses, one to H. M.

Ogg of the Oak Park Ledger for $200, one to W. F. Prisk of Grass Valley for $400, a third for $400 to his father, who is in the printing business in San Francisco. Assemblyman R. H.

Jury, printer, publisher and member of the Ways and Means Committee, wandered out to Oak Park the other day and took a look at the worn out and worthless press sold at a bargain by the State Printer. The more Jury looked the better he liked "the wreck. "Give you a thousand dollars for it, said Jury. "No, sir, replied Publisher Ogg. Ill make it fifteen hundred, said Jury.

"No, returned Ogg firmly. Two thousand, bid Jury. "Thats tny limit. Come on, now. Let's call it a sale.

'Couldnt think of it, said Ogg. It's worth more. Jury went no higher. He says the press Is worth all of $2,000, and he Stands ready to give that sum. Shan-hon told the Ways and Means Committee that $200 was a big price for It.
