The. trouble lies in the fact that too few Women enjoy perfect health and strength of the special womanly organism. A wom- &rt who is not well and strong locally can- not enjoy good general health. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures all weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs concerned in wifehood and mother- hood. It is the most perfect and scientific remedy éver devised for the peculiar ail- ments of women. It restores womanly gcwer. strength and virility. It tones and uilds up the nerves which have been shat- “tered by suffering and disease. It corrects all. igegularities and derangements and stops exhausting drains. It restores weak, nervous invalids to perfect health. It is “intended for this one class of disorders and is good for no other. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V.

Makes an Ante-Mortem Statement Declaring That He Was the Victim of a Colored Assassin. Special Dispatch to The Call. NAPA, Sept. 3.—Napa County has a mystery. Addison J. Allen, proprietor of the last words he uttered accused John P. Clemens, an old and apparently harm- less negro, of having been the cause | of his death. Allen wi in the employ of the W. Co. brass foundry of San Francisco, { but about three years ago he came to Napa and established in the Redwoods, twelve miles northwest of here, a sum- mer resort. John P. Clemens, who was accused of murder by the dying man, worked for Allen during the winter be- fore last and there arose a dispute over wages, threats at the time but shortly afterward. A few days ago he | returned to Napa and sued the Allens and on Tuesday last the case was de- cided against him. On Thursday Allen was in town and before leaving he managed to get him- self under the Influence of liquor. He was eeen whipping his horse into a run on the road home. Late Thursday afternoon he was found in the lane leading to Buhman'’s dairy, about three miles from Napa, with his head crushed and otherwise badly injured. Buhman sent him home under the care of a man and a doctor was called in. Allen did not regain consciousness until Friday morning and then he claimed that Clemens met him, and, dragging him out of the wagon, beat him into insen- sibility. An examination disclosed several ribs fractured, the skull crushed and severe internal injur Allen died early this morning. The Coroner went to his place this morning and held an inquest. Allen’s ante-mortem statement, as read to the jury, was as follows: John Clemens struck me and did this. He came out of the brush on the left side of road, coming home, and with a piece of iron or gaspipe or a club in his hand, rushed up behind me and struck me on the head and neck two or three times. 1 remember no more. 1 believe I am dying and cannot %ive, I fully -understand the importance of this statement and make it as a dying state- ment that John Clemens did the striking, striking me two or three times. The Coroner’s jury’s verdict was as follows: The dead man, A. F. Allen, a native of Kentucky, aged 6 years, came to his death on September 2, from injury re- ceived from a club or some instrument, and we verlly belleve that sald instru- ment was in the hands of John Clemens, Clemens was arrested to-night and lodged in prison. On Thursday before leaving town Al- len came to Constable Secord and told him he was afraid of Clemens and ask- ed him to arrest the colored man. The éfficer told him he could not arrest Clemens without a warrant. Clemens when seen by The Call cor- respondent this afternoon said he could prove an alibl.

FUSION TO WIN THE FIGHT MEN NAMED FOR OFFICE WHO ARE NOT CORRUPT. Some Dispute Between Democrats and Populists, but the Good Government League Will Avoid Discord. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 3.—After two days of conventions, in which Populists, Democrats and the Good Government League have held numerous confer- enc steps looking to a solid fusion of these forces have been taken. For the first time there promises to be a union of reform forces that means the de- | feat of the Rea gang in the fall elec- | tion. Never were there brighter pros- | pects for casting aside gang rule, and all reformers realize this. Democrats, Good Government League men and Populists are hard at work to bring about harmony and concentration on one ticket. This will surely be accom- | plished, and a committee of ten from each of these three parties has been named to adjust all differences. At present there are two places on the | ticket on which the parties cannot | agree, but prominent members to-night say these defects will be remedied. The | good anti-gang work inaugurated by the Democrats and Populists yesterday was continued to-day by the Good | Government League and Populists. The Good Government League and | Populist conventions were in session all | day, the former not adjourning until 9 | )ck to-night. Both conventions were | noisy and at times turbulent, but after | the ineetings were over the delegates | expressed a desire for most any kind of | ticket that would down Rea. | This last sentiment points to com- | plete annihilation of the Rea gang. | The Gooa Government League conven- tion was an adjourned one from last Saturday. They had secured the nom- | ination of Kittredge for Superior Judge by. the Democrats and suggested that | Chipman be named as Superintendent | of Schools. These demands were grant- ed, and the meeting to-day was to de- cide whether they would indorse the nominations made by the Democrats. members of the Good Govern- t League wanted Lyndon for Sher- | iff and refused to accept Bollinger, the | Democratic nominee, because of his strong gang proclivities. in much wrangling, which through evening. At one time the discussion was so hot that D. H. Bryant, a dele- gate from Moreland, withdrew from the convention. Later it was agreed to postpone a choice for Sheriff until next Saturday. The same action was taken in the case of the Democratic nominations of T. W. Treanor for Recorder, M. D. Kel for Coroner and A. L. Veuve for Auditor, | because no one was ready to vouch that they were anti-gang. For Dis- trict Attorney F. B. Brown and J. H. Campbell were mentioned, but this se- lection was also deferred. The stand- ing of these candidates was left to a | committee to report at the next meet- ing. The convention indorsed the following Democratic nominees: Superior Judge, A. S. Kittredge; Assessor, L. A. Spit- zer; Clerk, H. A. Pfister; Tax Collector, W. A. January. The league named E. W. Conant for Treasurer and L. J. Chipman for Superintendent of Schools. A. T. Hermann, another league mem- ber, was put up for Surveyor in place of P. C. Sainsevain, Democrat. Jus- tices San Jose Township, J. T. Wallace, J. L. Riddle; Constables, R. L. Henin- ger, S. F. Bennett. A speclal committee of ten was ap- pointed to meet like committees from the Populists and Democrats to arrange for filling the offices in dispute. In the Populist convention this morn- ing there was general dissatisfaction over the action of the Democratic con- vention. Speedhes were made against accepting proffered fusion, and for a time it looked as though a straight | ticket would be named. They finally indorsed the following Democratic ;nomlnees: A. S, Kittredge for Judge, | H. A. Pfister for Clerk, W. A. January for Tax Collector T. W. Treanor for Re- corder, A. L. Veuve for Auditor, M. D. Kell for Coroner and L. A. Spitzer for Assessor. | L. J. Chipman was named for Super- intendent of Schools and A. T. Her- mann for Surveyor. These are both | Good Government nominees. F. B. | Brown and J. J. Shaner, Populists, were | nominated for District Attorney and |Treasurer, respectively, and James H. Lyndon for Sheriff. R. M. Phelps was indorsed for Supervisor in the First District and John Roll in the Fourth District. Other indorsements were: City Justice, W. T. Aggeler; Township Jus- tices, E. M. Rosenthal, J. L. Riddle; Constables, R. L. Heninger, A. G. Hin- man. extended MISS RUTH VIDAVER MARRIED AT PARIS NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Miss Ruth Vidaver, a daughter of Rev. Falk Vi- daver, who up to several years ago was rabbi of the Post-street Synagogue, San Francisco, was married in Paris on Av~ust 4 to P. Henri Fontaine. The marriage, which has just been mada public, will surprise the friends of Miss Vidaver almost as much as the news surprised her family when they learn- ed it several days after the ceremony. Miss Vidaver, who is well known in San Francisco, has been in Europe for eighteen months engaged in the culti- vation of her voice. Mr. Fontaine is 45 years old and very wealthy. He is the owner of large dia- mond mines and cultivates sugar ex- tensively in the East. 2 SR DUKE AND DUCHESS OF ORLEANS WILL SEPARATE VIENNA, Sept. 3.—In spite of the ef- forts of the Emperor of Austria and of the leading members of the Royal- ist party in France, a separation has been decided upon between the Duke and Duchess of Orleans. The Duchess, a high-spirited Princess of the impe- rial house of Hapsburg, declines to submit any longer to the brutality, coarseness and violent temper of her husband. He, on his side, is nothing loth to part from a consort who is in no way congenial to him; who disap- pointed him in remaining childless and has failed to secure for him access to certain foreign courts that had re- mained closed upon his marriage.

The next day, an answer from the adjutant general of Seventh was to be eliminated from the aging editor hopped to the conclusion that his message had ac- complished all this, patted his own back and proceeded to hump it into position to be patted by the admiring throng.
