FTTAHWINS 1N WAUBUN AND A DRIVING FINISH Gets the Verdict Over Peixotto. NOSE AND NOSE ON THE WIRE LIBERTINE CUTS NO FIGURE IN THE RACE. Toribio, P F anc Ann Page Earn Brackets ' and Reward. Their Backers at Remurera- tive Odds. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 23.—The racing at the park this afternoon was viewed by a largely increased attendance, and the bookies dealt out more pasteboard than for some days past. The Merchants’ handicap, with Rubicon and Grady as the stars, fell th h, the owners of the first named horse declining to start Marplot. An event of le class was sub- stituted. Toribic and Ann Page won at remunerative odds. Ringmaster and Etta H proved the only successful first choices. The finish between that rare good piece of racing machinery, Etta H, and the high headed Peixotto in the five and a half furlong sprint was the feature of the day’s sport. The mare, with Gus Wil- son on her back, was a pronounced fa- vorite, Libertine enjoying second -call over Peixotto. Libertine was never in it from the jump, and Shields gave it up at the head of the stretch. In a long, hard drive Peixotto lost the verdict by a due ibly to Wilson's superior ing abilities on the favorite. At that Peixotto is a hard horse to ride, and his handling under Ames could scarcely have been improved upon. The opening event at six furlongs, the wise_ones figured, was oil from the can for Lolore, but the mare is apparently not at her best and third place, a swerve down the stretch costing her a length or so. In a drive Frawley with the leg up on the 8 to 1 shot Toribio led the heavily backed Tor- sion across the tape by a head. Pat Mur- phy star but cut no figure. In the se nd a half furlong selling affair Ringmaster fell in with soft com- pany and ruled favorite in the betting over Rosemaid. Away in front, the big gelding was never h , winning at wiil from Ockturuck. Rosemaid was lamentably lacking in speed, finishing a gloomy look- ing third. Ko Ko was well supported, but Snider appeared unable to get him to run. Two or three trips at the timber-topping game in Mo appear to have worked wonders with P F. The ring took undue liberties with the gelding, one of seven starters in the fourth number on the card. He simply galloped off the six furlongs, stepping to town in 1:15%. Trappean, the favorite, was in trouble when the bend for home was reached. but hung on gamely, taking the place from Home- stake. he latter with “Chimmie Fad- den” Houck in the saddle, stumbled and nearly fell to his kne at the head of the stretch. There was a healthy play on Oak Leaf, and the stable fancied the horse, but a poor: send-off operated against his chance of winning. Bonibel, a stout favorite, and. Thorpe up, hung crepe on many a door-in the closing chapter, a five furlong sprint. Ann Page, ridden by Piggott, and second choice in the ring, made the running and headed the favorite past the judges by two lengths in the slow time of 1:031. The filly's win of the Futurity must have been a deadful fluke or else she has lpst her form.

Waubun, played down from 12 to 1 to 10 to 1, won the first race with ease. Genua, the fav- orite, experienced little trouble in cap- turing the second, and Whateriou, an odds-on choice, outclassed his field in the third. Sunburst dropped out in the fourth, came again and won easily at the end by three lengths. The lightly weight- ed Pinar del Rio came from the clouds and annexed the brackets and coin in the fifth event, and Glemmoyne carried off the honors in the last, though Win- slow pressed him pretty hard at the fin- ish.

ROUSING REPUBLICAN RALLY HALL TOO SMALL TO HOLD ALL ‘WHO WOULD HEAR. 4 Republican Nominee Places Maguirs on the Gridiron and the Gen- eral Draws a Few Com- parisons. Special Dispatch to The Call. VENTURA, Sept. 28.—Henry T. Gage and James G. Maguire shook hands at the Ventura Rallroad station this morning. The incident was agreeable, but not exciting. Mr. Gage was alight- ing from the passenger coach when Mr. Maguire was about to step aboard. They recognized each other simulta- neously and exchanged the compli- ments of the day. Mr. Gage on his arrival from Santa Barbara on the morning train was met at the depot by a delegation of leading Republicans and’ escorted to the Hotel Rose. The gentlemen meeting the nominee were: O. Orr, B. T. Willlams, ‘W. H. Barnes, F. 8. Cook, F. W. Baker, E. S. Hall, J. 8. Collins, E. M. Jones, D. 8. Blackburn and J. H. Mason. Mr. Gage is acquainted with many residents of this city and the region roundabout, and so put in the better part of the day chatting with old friends. Barly in the afternoon the arrival of voters from neighboring dis- tricts began. A special train of the Ojai Valley brought 100 people. Dele- gations came from Santa Paula and Hueneme. It soon became manifest that the demonstration in honor of the Republican nominee would .be one of the greatest ever held in this county. A delegation headed by E. 8. Hall, chairman of the Republican County Central Committee, went down the road to Santa Paula and escorted Gen- eral Barnes to Ventura. Among the prominent Republicans who participated in the reception to Mr. Gage and who attended the mass meeting to-night were: C. D. Bone- stel, J. R. Willoughby, Guadalupe El- well, Frank Hobart, W. D. F. Richards, J. C. Youngken, James Hobart, J. K. Gries, John Carnes, W. C. Richmond, T. R. Bard, D. W. Matt, J. S. Collins, D. T. Perkins, James Walker, N. Black- stock, Lloyd Selby, H. C. Sexton, Wil- liam Ramsey, C. C. Teague, N. W. Blanchard Jr., . Robert Clark, F. T. Fairbanks, K. Snow Jr., E. R. Hill, Ralph Hill, J. S. Blackstock, C. B. Greenwell, T. S. Newby, . W. An- drews, J. J. Burke, R. Freeman and Earle Soule. Shortly before 8 o'clock Henry T. Gage, General W. H. Barnes and Mr. Blackstock were escorted to Arm- ory Hall, the Ventura City band lead- ing thé procession. The hall at this hour was filled to overflowing by .as fine an audience as ever assembled in California. The crush was so great that many seeking admission could find no room inside and had to content themselves with a position near the main doors, where something of the speeches could be heard. There was no delay after the arrival of the speakers. As soon as the cur- tain was raised disclosing to the view of the audience a stage crowded by representative Republicans, Mrs. Myrtle Bagley Mason stepped to the front and sang “The Star-spangled Banner.” She was accompanied by the Ventura band. The rendition evoked tremendous applause. E. 8. Hall called the meeting to or- der and announced F. 8. Cook of Ven- tura as chairman. Mr. Cook was brief in his remarks. He introduced Henry T. Gage as the next Governor of Cali- fornja. Cheering and applause were maintained for several minutes indi- cated the popularity of the nominee and the ardent enthusiasm of the Ven- tura Republicans. Mr. Gage thanked the audience for the generous greeting, and announced at once that his remarks would not be extended, as he desired to gratify the people present by giving all the time to the matchless and eloquent orator, General Barnes. Gratitude was ex- pressed for the support which the dele- gation from Ventura County gave him in the State convention at Sacramento. Mr. Gage said it was incumbent upon him to repel the charge that the Ven- tura Republicans in that convention were dominated by corrupt influences. The speaker asked: “What right, in the name of common Justice, or in the name of common hu- manity, has Maguire to say that the 788 men who composed the Republican State convention were rallroad hire- lings? It would be dishonorable for me to say such things of the body of men who nominated Mr. Maguire. It is no less unjustifiable in bim to say such things of the men who composed the Republican convention at Sacramento. He has been trying to find some justi- fication for his remarks about railroad hirelings. He says The Call and Ex- aminer named the ticket before it was nominated. Because these two papers, after delegates caucussed, predicted the ticket Mr. Maguire drew the infer- ence that the ticket was named by the railroad.” Mention was made that Mr. Maguire’s nomination was made five weeks be- fore the Democratic convention assem- bled and the conclusion suggested that, according to Mr. Maguire's logic, the railroad demanded his nomination. Referring to the selection of Osborne and Parker on the executive commit- tee to manage the Republican campaign Maguire was quoted as having said that such selection indicated that the railroad was dominant, and to sustain his assertion he had cited the Los An- geles Times. Mr. Gage remarked that the Los Angeles Times had pronounced Maguire an anarchist and asked if a Democratic nominee desired to accept the Times as an aut ty. Attention was called to the fact that Parker and Osborne were on the committee in 1896 and-assisted in securing the election of President McKinley, the great Presi- dent. If they were good enough to con- tribute to the national welfare in 1896 they were good enough to help in the battle this year. In closing Mr. Gage announced, as he did at Santa Barbara last night, that he would, if elected Governor, be dominated by no other in- fluence than a determination to give the people of California a clean, eco- nomical and businesslike administra- tion of the affairs of this State. A solo by Mrs. D. E. Clarke, with violin and plano accompaniment, was :}le next feature in the order of exer- ses. General W. H. L. Barnes of San Francisco was then introduced. He was greeted with prolonged cheers, a dem- onstration that inspired the orator to one of the happiest speeches of his life. At the outset he denounced the South- ern Pacific Railroad for the outrageous delays at Saugus, and spoke of the purgatory inflicted on the traveling public. General Barnes observed that he did.not bring his gloves with him and therefore proposed to handle Ma- guire without them. The orator took up the party plat- forms and considered them plank by plank. The Populist platform, the “landslide of political ignorance,” the “avalanche of political stupidity,” the document which Maguire signed, was reviewed in detail. The review of the platform kept the audience in roars of laughter. The destruction of sixteen Spanish ships of war in remembrance of the Maine was a 16 to 1 proposition which the orator ever admired. The audience hailed the suggestion with shouts of applause. The extension of American supremacy to the territory conquered in the war, the prospect of Nicaraguan canal construction and the general be- stowal of blessings on the human race by the trlumph of Republican prin- ciples engaged the attention of the orator. For more than two hours the au- dience listened with admiration to the sentiments which he expressed. The beautiful peroration in which the flag was hoisted to the stars so fascinated the vast assemblage that all remained in their places for several minutes after the general ceased speaking. The si- lence was not broken until the chair- man proposed three cheers for the Re- publican State ticket. This proposition brought the audience back to earth and cheers were given with great vigor. Then some one in the audience pro- posed three cheers for General-Barnes. The multitude arose and gave three mighty shouts of commendation. Henry T. Gage and the general re- mained on the stage long after the meeting proper closed to receive the congratulations of resident and visiting Republicans. In all respects the meet- ing to-night was one of the greatest— if not, indeed, the greatest—political demonstration ever witnessed in Ven- tura County. BROWN DECIDES INBARRY'S FAVOR He Is the Democratic Nominee. SPELLING’S CLAIM SET ASIDE FOURTH DISTRICT CONTEST AD- JUDICATED. Certificate of Nomination of the Con- testant, Returned Without Having Been Filed. Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 23.—Secretary of State Brown this afternoon decided in the matter of the contest of Carl T. Spelling against James H. Barry that Barry was the regular Democratic nominee for Congress from the Fourth District, and that Spelling had no claim to a place on the ballot. After reviewing the facts presented on both sides the decision concludes as follows: It is undisputed that there is a Demo- cratic Btate Central Committee, the vali-: dity of which is unquestioned.’ There is also but one county committee recognized, as representing said party in the Fourth Congressional District. The so-called Fourth Congressional District Committee, under whose direction the convention that nominated T. C. Spelling assembled, has never been recognized by the Democratic National Committee or the State Central Committee, nor was it considered by the late Democratic State Convention. Since the adoption of the purity of election law in California, no Democratic Con- gressional Committee has acted, or even existed, except the single instance men- tioned herein. There was no default on the part of any ,Democratic authority in calling a Congressional convention in said district for the nomination of a Congress- man; nor was sald T. C. Spelling prohibit from seeking a nomination from the same convention that nominated James H. Barry. In all the Congressional districts in California the nominees of the Demo- cratic party for Congress were nominated by conventions called together by the State Central Committee, delegates to said convention being appointed or elected by or under the direction of the county com- mittees comprising said Congressional districts. In keefhlng with well-established prece- dents of the Democratic party in this State, considering party customs, prac- tices and usages, and in the absence of any law in California to the contrary, I, as Secretary of State, for reasons afore- said, return the certificate of nominatfon of Thomas Carl Spelling, without filing the snmgl. I file the certificate of James H. Barry as the nominee for Congress of the Demo- cratic Distric THOUSANDS CHEER FOR MKINLEY AND GAGE Rousing Demonstration Opens the Republican Campaign in Los Angeles County. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23.—A forcible {1~ lustration of the Republican enthusiasm in Los Angeles County was given this evening when the opening meeting of the county campaign was called to order at Hazard’'s Pavilion. The large building was crowded, and as soon as the meet- ing had been called to order the vast as- semblage arose and gave three rousing cheers for Henry T. Gage and the Re- publican State and county tickets. The ratification meeting was held un- der the auspices of the Young Business Men’s Republican Club, the Columbia Club, the Southern California Republican League, the Army and Navy Republican League and various ward organizations. The Americus Marching Club of Pasa- dena. was the guest of the evening. It came from Pasadena and was met at the Plaza by an escort of about 1000 members of the city clubs. The Ameri- cus Ciub members, arrayed in their strik. |. ing uniforms and each member carrying a white pole adorned by a minlature silken flag at the top paraded the main business streets to Hazard's Pavilion. ‘The meeting was called to order by ex- Congressman James McLachlan. Speeches were delivered by candidates and then Hon, Frank Davis, the speaker of the evening, was Introduced. He reviewed the issues of the campalign, referring first to the national administration and what it had accomplished In the way of re- the pledges it made to the peo- e national platform. Then Mr. Davis took up the State cam- g:: and explained why it was for the 3 interest of the State for voters to elect the Republican State ticket. Eves ention of the name of McKinley ani met with great agplu . Iph Dominguez an ron L. Oliver made stirring speeches, devoting their time to the Republican county ticket. The meeting was the most enthusiastic and largely attended that has e been held in this county in an off yez.:r ST Rock for San Pedro Harbor.

APOLOGIZES FOR HIS PARTY DEFENDS ITS OPPOSITION TO THE REVENUE BILL. Democratic Nominee Reiterates the | Allegation That the Railroad Controls Republican Candidates. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. | SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 23.—A big audience greeted James G. Maguire, the | fusion candidate for Governor, who spoke to-night in the City Pavilion. A. M. | Kenniston was chairman of the meeting. Secretary T. W. Tuckworth read the list of vice-presidents, which inciuded the names of the county candidates. Each, as he took his seat, was cheered. E. L. Hutchinson was the first speaker. | He devoted most of his time to apolog:z- | ing for his party, the Free Silver Republi- | cans, in having indorsed the Democratic candidates. Maguire took the stand amid much en- | thugiasm. He opened up on the corpora- | tions immediately. He declared monop- olies must be relegated to the past. To | his opposition of these institutions he at- | tributed his success as a public man. | The Judge then took up a discussion of platforms. He devoted a few moments to the free sliver question, and soon | drifted into ridicule of the opening cam- | palgn speeches of Mr. Gage and General | Barnes. He spoke at length on the war | situation. He said General Barnes seemed laboring under the belief that the Repub- licans deserved the credit for the suc- | cessful termination of the war. “The history of its commencement will show,” said the speaker, “that the war | was forced upon the administration, not | sought by it. It was, nevertheless, equal- ly supported by Americans of all-political faiths. 1 honor the Republicans as well as all others for their patriotism.” He then tried to impress the people that the credit for the war belonged to all alike, but that the blame for any mistakes’ belonged to the Republicans. Mr. Maguire went into an elaborate de- fense of the Democratic party in Con- gress for having hindered the passage of the revenue bill. He said they were attempting to have a tax placed upon the wealth and corporate interests of the country. Mr. Maguire discussed Southern Pacific influence.” He claimed that if the Re- gubllcan candidates were not Southern acific men, they were representatives of a Southern-Pacific-made ticket and were under its influence. He said The Call published the right ticket before it was | nominated; that The Call claimed to have | got information by canvassing among the | elegates to the convention, but he (Ma- | guire) thought The Call went to a great | deal of unnecessary trouble. It could | have secured the information gratis at the Southern Pacific offices. ARRESTS' GROWING OUT OF THE MILLPOND CASE Prominent Young Men of Southing- ton, Conn., Arrested for the Murder of Miss Gill. SOUTHINGTON, Conn., Sept. 23.—Some strange Nemesis seems to pursue the re- mains of the unfortunate young wofnan | who was the victim of the Yellow Mill- | pond tragedy, and who has been identi- | fied as Emma Gill, of this viliage.

Pilgrimages to some shrine of 8t. Vitus, to cure the disease known as St. Vitus’ dance, are no longer made.

Untoli thousands of wo- men fall short of this because o weakness and dis- ease of their wo- manly-selves. Either they live childless lives, or for a brief spell are the mothers of puny, sickly children that bring them only pain, and leave them only sorrow. The woman who suffers from weakness | and disease of the distinctly feminine or- gans is certain to become an invalid. No woman can suffer in this way and be a healthy, happy, amiable wife@nd a compe- tent mother. Troubles of this nature sap the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines of suffering upon the face, destroy the temper, make the once bright eyes dull and the once active brain sluggish, and transform a viva- cious woman into a weak, sickly, invalid. This is all wrong. It is all unnecessary. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a mar- velous medicine for ailing women. Itacts | directly on the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of matern- ity and makes them strong and healthy. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones and builds up the nerves. It banishes the discomforts of the expectant months and makes baby’s com- ing easyand almost painless. Itguarantees the little new-comer's health and an ample supply of nourishment. Thousands of women have testified to its marvelous mer- jts. An honest dealer will not endeavor to substitute some inferior preparation for the sake of an extra little selfish profit. “I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription revious to confinement,” writes Mrs. Corda alpepper, of Tanks, Coitle Co., Texas, *and never did so well in my life. It is only two weeks and 1 am able to do my work." In most healthy families you will find Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Ad- viser.
