The election of McKinley, he said, would restore this law and enable the United States to say to foreign countries that if they failed to sign an international agree- ment this eountry would fail to have com* mercial relations with them. e CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEES.

Republican Ciubs of Sacramento to At- tend To-Night's Rally. SACRAMENTO, Cavn, Oct. 9.—The streets of this city were thronged to-night by the various Republican clubs busy at their finishing drill before raiding Stock- ton to-morrow night. The echoing foot- steps of thousands drew half of the in- habitants of the city out of doors to criti- cize and admire those of their acquaint- ances who were in line. At the various club headquarters the secretaries were kept busily employed during the entire evening enrolling new names on the club rolls, applicants stand- ing patiently in line until they ‘could reach the enrolling-desk. At the head- quarters of the Assembly District /clubs over seventy names were added within a Lalt-hour, and all of the newcomers de- manded suits, that they might take part in the parades scheduled for the balance of the month.

Stradley .of San Francisco addressed a silver meeting here last night. He said: *Why are the mills closed? Isit not be- cause there is a lack of demand for their Eroducts? This lack of demand is caused v the fact that for years past producers in the South and West have been raising crops at an absolute loss. If we want to open factories we should commence at the bottom and make more money and thus stimulate the demand. We will open the fuctories by first opening the mints.” o ol Davisville Republicans Aroused. DAVISVILLE, Car., Oct. 9.—A very enthusiastic meeting was held bere last evening by the Republicans.

A great deal of this oil is being secured by persons along the coast. Some of it has been brought to this city and has found a ready sale at §1 25 a gallon.

W. Likens Is Missing From the City. Left a Eill of Sale for His Office Furniture to a Friend. HIS WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN. Had Bzen Threatened With Criminal Prosecution by an Insurance Company. TACOMA, Wasm., Oct. 9.—Colonel W. W. Likens, a prominent lawyer of this city, who came to Tacoma eight years ago, mysteriously disappeared last Tues- day, leaving a note in his office stating that he had gone to Seattle. He also left a bill of sale of the office furniture toa friend who had gone on his bond to the State Insurance Company of Oregon. Likens recently received several thousand dollars from the insurance company to satisfy a judgment recently entered against it in this county, and the com- pany and other creditors have been de- manding a settlement, while Likens has been sparring for time toavoid a threat- ened criminal prosecution. Between 1871 and 1875 Likens was a prominent lawyer in Mineral Point, Wis., being associated with ex-Congressman Amasa Cobb, afterward Justice of the Supreme Court of Nebraska. Likens in 1874 got into trouble with some of his clients at Mineral Point, who were mem- bers of the Masonic fraternity, and the re- sult was that he, a thirty-second degree Mason, was expelled from the order. Likens then driftea to Colorado, where he served four years in the penitentiary at Canyon City for forgery. By those who knew of the circumstances, it is said he was a “fighting prohibitionist’’ and was railroaded’ into the penitentiary by saloon men. He refused to ask for a new trial or a pardon, but the warden of the penitentiary declined to lock him up. Likens was taken into the penitentiary as a boarder, where he continued to prac- tice law until his time was served. Judge Stalleup of the Superior Court in Tacoma knew Likens well in Colorado, and says of his prison experience: ‘That scrape was an_unfortunate affair. Likens was sirong willed and would not allow anything to be done for him. The Su- preme Court refused to debar him and his name stands on the roll to-day.” Likens was & law partner of Judge Amasa Cobb in Mineral Point. When he first came to Tacoma he made from $10,000 to $40,000 a year, all of which went into disastrous real estate speculations. When he left Denver his wife was matron of the State Reform School for Girls. At the time of the accession of Governor Waite Mrs. Likens’ nead fell into the basket, along with three other Republican office-holders. 1t is said Mrs. ens has recently secured a divorce. Likens was a member of the Grand Army, though not prominent in the or- ganization. He enlisted as a privatein the Seventh Wisconsin Volunteers, and before he was 18 years of age was captain of a company. He was soon promoted and for the greater part of the service was colonel of a Wisconsin regiment and foughtin many of the battles of the cam- paigns in Tennessee and Mississippi. H was always prominent in pmln.ic‘ulJ gather- ings in this county and State and this year was an adviser of the silver Repubii- cans in the movement toward State fusion and was disappointed in not receiving a nomination for State office at the fusion convention.

Oct. 9.—The Su- preme Court has affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of the Ven- tura and Ojai Valley Railway Company, respondent, vs. J. 8. Collins, a banker of Ventura, appellant.

The chief business transacted was the framing of the bi- ennial report to Governor Budd. ‘This caused considerable discussion, as the original draft of the report asked for a general lypm}‘)finflon of $440,000 for the maintenance ring the next two fiscal years of 1700 patients, This was vl%m-onsly opgoud by Di- rector J. D. McDougald of Stockton, who claimed that the instituation could be run for much less money, as shown by the ex- penditures of the past year, which are nearly $10,000 below the appropriation. He argued that even 1700 patients could be supported for very little more money in view of the many improvements made within the past year for carin fifor patients, Directors McDonald and Steffans came to his way of thinking, and the request was cut down to $401,000.

These gypsies have been in the valley for some time, and have committed all sorts of depredations. The Sheriff drove them out of town several times, but as often they came back. Finally, as their thievery became unbearable, the Supervisors depu- tized a posse to escort them out ot the county. This was done, greatly against the will of the gypsies, who offered bribes to be allowed to return. Sl Will Convene at Petaluma.

A letter-carrier said his wife liked coffee so well and seemed to really need itat breakiast it was too bad for the doctor to order her to aiscontinue it. He told her that her bad complexion, dyspepsia, ner- vousness and occasicnal palpitation of the heart all came from one cause and that was coffee drinking. The good man went on further to say: “My child, it you were as strong as_your husband and had the miles of outdoor walking to do that he has daily you could drink one cup of coffee, or perhaps two, at breakfast and dinner with- out any very bad effects, but the same poisonous alkaloids exist in coffee as are found in tobacco, whisky, strychnine and morphine. There is not so great a pro- portion of them in coffee as in the other drugs, but a sufficient amount exists to seriously injure any one whose constitu- tion is a little below par. All of these drugs can be used for a time by verfectly healthy people, but if their use is per- sisted in long enough the human body finally gives evidence of the effect of the steady poison, and many people who do not know this fact die because of their un- natoral habits. If you could use a hot drink 1n tbe morning made from the nourishing grains that nature has pro- videa for the use of man it would satisfy your appetite and fatten your body.’’ A wholesome, delicious hot drink of the kind that old doctor referred to is found in Poatum Coffee, made from grains by the Postum Cereal Company (limited) of Battle Creek, Mich.; it brews the rich color of Java or Mocha, has a grand fra- grance and the pungent taste demanded by all coffee drinkers. No poisonous al- kaloids are found here, and man is only safe when he sticks to nature’s food, fur- nished by the Creator, prepared in & num- ber of different ways, to be sure. Ruddy health and red blood will follow the dis- continuance of ununatural drinks and the substitution therefor of the Cereal food drink. Its use will tell the facts more plainly in the body than words can be made to express. Grocers furnish it and experience teaches that it goes about three times as far as coffee, Bold by McLaren & Co., San Franciseo, general agents. STaREy HOW YOU DREA THE CROSSINGS!
