Two Alameda physicians were engaged to assist the hospital sur- geons, and a trained nurse was sent to attend the sufferer. The crime for which Officer Keyes sought to arrest his assallant was a most heinous one.

There remain features of the case | of which as yet nothing certain can be | learned, and which will not be known until they are disclosed at the Coroner’s nquest, set for Monday next. Lillian Brandes was the only daughter of William A. Brandes, 2234 Telegraph avenue. The father, who works as a pa- | trolman and nightwatchman for the resi- dence portion of East Berkeley, returned | as usual from his night duties about 6 o’clock this morning. Soon after rcturn-l had heard unusual and mysterious sounds ;’ from the basement, where their daughter | had her room. Dressing hastily, he hur- ried downstairs, only to find the tragedy | already enacted and his child’s life abso- lutely beyond recovery. There in a small square room, scantily | furnished, hanging to a bedpost in one| corner was the body of the girl. The de- | tails of self-execution were perfectly sim- ple. A rope had been improvised from two kitchen aprons. This was tied around | the neck and the top of the post. The | spring had been made, apparently, from | the bed to the floor, causing death by | strangulation. The girl was still in her | night robe, with feet dragging slightly on | the floor, knees resting against the bed- side, the body partly on the bed, the left cheek touching the edge of the post. No disorder whatever marked the condition of the room; it was quite neat and tidy. . "Dr. G. F. Whitworth was summoned | immediately, but the young girl's life was | be‘yond meuaical aid. } fhe father is of opinion that his daugh- | ter's suicide was prompted by her own | peculiar disposition and temperament. He | £aid this morning: “I feared at first that | Lillian _had used strychnine before doing | what she did in order to be sure that the terrible deed should succeed. But the doctor finds no symptoms or traces of the | poison. _ Lilllan’ had some strychnine which she brought with her from ‘the country. She was a girl of queer disposi- tion and used to talk once in a while of | taking her own life. “She was morbidly fond of sensational stories and would pore over mewspa, articles about Mrs. Botkin and Durie Hei- thier, She had a mania for Eolsonlng animals. The girl was quite feeble mind- ©d, so that we did not think of sending her to school. She was to have left this afternoon for a visit to her aunt in Mon- terey,# with whom she has often stayed before.” There are, nevertheless, rumors that the girl's life in Berkeley was not of the happiest, and the reticence both of the Coroner and the attending physiclan points to facts which may give a different coloring to the story. everal of the neighbors are telling of instances in which they have been disturbed by cries and sounds of blows coming from Brandes’ house. Last Wednesday evening about 8 o’clock two young men, Louis Long and Jim Mc- Keown, were seated on the porch of the house of W. J. Richardson, next door to ed her life. They were startled by sounds and a child's wvoice y. man was heard | ndulging in violent qatlis and curses. As | the trouble went on the child was seen to | fall downstalrs, the man following after, continuing the blows and curses in the ‘Oh, don’t, 3 don’t,” leading The day following neighbors noticed the girl searching for Something in the yard. A man’s voice was heard to exclaim, ** you don’t find that money I'll choke you.” Later in the day R. J. Wright, driver of the Dwight-way Bakery wagon, came to the door, and the girl beged him pitifully to lend her a dollar, as she had been threatened severely if she failed to find the money she was looking for. These stories will be repeated at the Coroner’s inquest to be held Monday. The jurors for the inquest were sworn in to- night. When seen this evening, Dr. Whit- worth would say little about the state in which the girl's body was found upon ex- amination, He discovered quite a severe ash on the right cheek, contusions on he knees and several bruises upon dif-| ferent parts of the body, but as to the ex- | tent or nature of the latter he would say nothing.

" NIGHT OF WILD EXCITEMENT ALAMEDA COUNTY JUBILANT OVER THE CAMPAIGN. Marching I!o‘sts Parade the Streets of Oakland and Listen to the Eloquent Orators of the Party. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Nov. 19. This is the night of Alameda County’'s jubllation. With all doubt ended, with all the infamous insinuation and charges of the defamers of Republicans proved to be false; with proof on every hand that the principles and doctrines of the grand old party are tnose of prosperity and ad- vancement, the Republican party of Ala- meda rejoiced over its recent victory with not a single element of disappointment. With fire, with music and with general rejoicing an epitaph was written on the grave of Maguireism, How the mascot of the Repubiucan Al- liance did twirl that globe! Although carried for many years that big globe never possessed such significance as it did to-night. Since it was twirled on that memorable night when tnis county cele- brated the election of McKinley, Re- publicanism has advanced many sSteps, and as the meridians pass by it was re- alized that it takes many more of them to mark the limits of this nation than it did in Novembx 1896. The Republican party can afford to be, and {t was, magnanimous, to-night. Bit- ter and malicious as were many of the utterances made by fusionists (so-calied) in this county during the campaign, there was no desire to heap obloquy or humili- ation, and the transparencies carried con- tained no Suggestion that there is any tuing elge in politics than Republicanism | and its principles. Certalnly no more fitting place could be selected for a Republican jollification than the exposition building. Only a par- | tition separated those who were speak- | ing of the possibilities of this State if | | | | governed by stability and wisdom, and the material evidence of the same argument. The procession was the best of the cam- There were all the elements nec- essary to a genuine ratification-and they were dispersed as liberally as were Re- publican votes a few days ago. Only #plendid horsemanship saved some of the aids from adding a tragedy to the jubiiee. At this stage the horses should have be- come accustomed to sulphur, rockets, red fire, blue fire and cannon, but the steeds of the rough riders only could be expected to march through such a fire as was maintained all along the line of march. ! The Young Men's Republican League Dril} Corps turned out strong. Dewey Camp of the Army and Navy League | | marched joyfully and lightly to the mar- | tial music. The Frank Leavitt Club made a section of its own and with the Sixth Ward Club solved, by its immensity, the problem of why fusion cut such a small | figure. » 1 From_ Alameda the West End Young Men's_Republican Club came to rejoice with the rest. Alameda City gave two good Republican candidates who were elected by such large majorities that the Encinal City can be pardoned for wanting to assist in making Oakland red on this occasion, "Up _Washington from Second, down Broadway to The Call office, where it | cbunter marched, and from thence to the Exposition building, the procession moved and thousands lined the streets on both sides. When the crowd caught sight of the white-bearded man honored by all, | who will be the next Lieutenant Governor | of California, they cheered and Hon. | Jacob Neff returned the salute as well as he could, but the continuous rain of | sparks from torches and rockets kept the | distinguished guests in carriages busy | preventing their being cremated by the | evidences of the appreciation in which | they are held. | A packed house greeted the Republican | leaders at the Exposition building.

The graceful Greclan women admired the strength combined with skill which was displayed to its highest perfection in the athletes cf their race. Among the greatest of these athletes was Milo, the man " who carried an ox on his shoulders! It was an age of athleti- cism. . *‘There were giants. in those days. Doubtless many an athlete could have showed thews as great as Milo’s. But for all that Milo was the only man who could shoulder the ox. How was it done? The athlete told the story bimself. He began with the ox when it was a little calf, lifting it daily, until it became the full grown bulky beast which he carried in the arena. Milo was an athletic specialist. FI= is typical of all specialists in that he succeeded by doing the same thing over and over day after day for years. One the greatest specialists of the day is Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consult- ing physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y. Thirty years of Dr. Pierce’s life have been given to the treatment of all the varying forms of female disease. Every day the diseases that affect the delicate organs of women have been his studv. Half a million of women have been so successfully treated by him that nine- ty-eight per cent have been peffectly and permanently cured. Why should such success attend Dr. Pierce’s efforts when reputable physicians have said there was no help? Why should Dr. Pierce cure with his special medicines when other physicians have said there must be an ‘“operation”? Are not these other physicians as learned and as clever as Dr. Pierce? Those are fair questions and should be fairly an- swered. Doubtless similar questions were ‘““What is the mat- ter with the other athletes? They look just as big and as strong as Milo. Why can't they do what he does?” And then appealing to the successful ath- lete, they ask, ‘“How do you manage , Milo?” And Milo answers, “I've been doing it for years. My skill has grown with its daily exercise.” That, in substance, is theplain answer of Dr. Pierce to all questions as to the secret of his superiority and of his suc- cess. “Haven't these other physicians the education to treat disease “Then why do you succeed where others fail?” it is asked. “Simply because I've been | perience Breed, chairman of the Alameda County | ing t disease: over thirty Centril Committce, called the meeting to | ;‘::,‘s“gndhe,;ey praty fa:"}mwn ev’gg, order and introduced Hon.

What she needs is the skilled, intelligent help of an educated. experienced physician. As far as is known there is no.woman connected with any proprietary medicine who is a graduated physician, who has in- deed any qualification to treat the commonest hurts or {lls. There cer- tainly is no one—man or woman—who can offer as does Dr. Pierce—the spe- cialism of thirty years’ practice and ex- in treating female diseases, with a record of ninety-eight cures in every hundred cases. Miss Laura C. Brooks of Clinch, Hancock County, Tenn., offers a good specimen of the missionary spirit* in- spired by a wonderful experience of re- ltef from the clutch of pain and cure of distressing disease. Read her letter carefully and you can understand the fervor of her gratitude. “I thank God for such remedies as your ‘Favorite Prescription’ and ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ for myself and friends honestly bell tnat had it not been for these wonderZul medicines I would to-day be in my grave. Iam sure that I could not hava lived many days in the condition I was In at the time I first consuited you. I was only praying to die and be free from pain. L was simply a shadow and we had tried almost everything, when, ghrough a friend, I was advised to write to you, which I did,thinking all the while that it was only foolishness to think that such a case as mine could be cured. But I do not think so to-day. After ths first week’s treatment just as you pre- scribed, I felt like another woman and I hardly believed that such could be, when the first period was passed with- out pain. I continued the treatment until I had used about seven bottles of the ‘Favorite Prescription’ and some of the ‘Discovery,’ and pow I am a well woman. I would have given any amount if I had had it, just for the rest it has already given me—rest from pain. I never know when the periods are coming on now, as 1 am free from pain, and during the time I feel just as well as any time, and am never con- fined to my room as I once was. I can eat anything I want and can work at any kind of work, something I could never do till this summer. Everybody who knows me thinks it wonderful that I am not sick any more. I thank God for this friend of women, this blessed ‘Favorite Prescription.” The very name sounds sweet to me. I am causing many of my friends to use it and all are improving. I can never tell you how I thank you, dear doctor, for your kind advice and for your kind, good, fatherly letters to me.” “You have my many _heartfelt thanks,” writes Mrs. Claus Nelson of Pico Heights, Los Angeles, Cal, box 31, “for your kindly advice to me in my sickness; also for your book which I re- ceived two years ago, and which I could not do without. It is all the doc- tor I have had since I got it. Your ‘Smart-Weed' 1 always keep in the house and could not do without it. I had female trouble, and Dr., Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, together\ with the advice given in his book, cured me of five years' sickness.” There is no alcohol, whisky or other ° intoxicant in “Favorite Presicription.” Among those who occupied seats on the platform were Hon. Jacob Neff, Hon. Tirey L. Ford, Hon. Charles F. Curry, Dr. George C. rardee, Willlam R. Davis, Charles H. Spear, Mayor W. R. Thomas, A. K. Grim, A. H.

This pledge has been honestly kept.” Great applause greeted Charles F. urry as he stepped to the front of tne | platform at the conclusion of Dr. Pardee’s | remarks. ‘I came here to-night to re- joice with you over the great victory of Americanism over that conglomeration of fusion that has been most properly de- feated.

Without any of these it preserves its medicinal vir- thing, and: daily practice. The same things made Paderewski a specialist on the pilano andAr. Carver a specialist with the rifle. It was the knowledge gained in this daily practice and wide experience which guided Dr. Pierce in the selection and combination of the several ingredi- ents which make up that remarkable compound “Favorite Prescription.” Thousands have welcomed it as the best friend of woman; “the friend indeed” because it is “the friend In need.” It exercises a complete control over the entire female organism. It regulates the periods, stops debilitating and di: gusting drains, allays inflammati heals,, ulceration, cures female weal ness and the accompanying bearing down pains. It is the chief of all tonics for the prospective mother. It does not brace up, but builds up the entire system, giving the maternal organs strength and elasticity which make the birth hour brief and practically pain- less. It removes the depression of mind so often accompanying this condi- tion, does away with morning sickness and gives the mind a cheerful and con- fident tone so that there is no dread and no anxiety. It prepares the mother for the pleasant duty of nursing, establish- ing a normal and healthful flow of the nutritive secretions, the flow of which does not have to be stimulated by in- toxicants which are debilitating to the mother and dangerous to the child. These results are truly wonderful. Every woman admits that she never supposed It was possible to escape the pain of motherhood and to be cured of those diseases of the delicate female or- gans which make life a misery. And the gratitude of the cured is commen- surate with the wonder of their cure. There s no other medicine that has done so much, is doing so much, or can do so much for women, as Dr. Plerce’'s Favorite Prescription. Every sick and ailing woman who wants to know what can be done for her is invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter. He will consider her case and advise her in a frank and fatherly manner, giving her the full benefit of his years of practice and-experience in the diseases peculiar to women. For this consultation by letter there is ab- solutely no charge. It is entirely free. Write freely and fully. Your letter will be held as strictly private and sa- credly confidential. You can write, therefore, without fear as without fee. Many ailing women eagerly take ad- vantage of this consultation by letter, because it relieves them from the answering of questions which seem indelicate, and the examinations and local treatments, so offensive to the tues in any climate and retains its pleasant taste. If your dealer offers a substitute for “Favorite Prescription,” remember that the substitute is not what you asked for, not what you wanted, not what you believed would cure you, and not what cured the others, the records of whose cures gave you confidence in ‘“Favorite Prescription” for your case. To buy it¥ is to please the dealer who makes a bet- ter profit on it, and to rob yourself of the cure which will only be found in Dr. Plerce's Favorite Prescription. Re- fuse all substitutes for this valuable medicine. . No recipient of Dr, Pierce's great gift, the People’s Common Sense Medi- cal Adviser, has ever had anything but prajse and gratitude to offer for this really valuable book containing 1008 pages and over 700 illustrations. As a specimen letter we publish the following received from M. H. Peters, M. D., 124 East 120th st, New York City. He writes: “I consider it a valuable work for the use of all the young. It is so explicit that the young men or women who have not had the opportunity of being educated will readily comprehend and glean from its contents gems to protect their health; and may, as age comes on, refer to it with gladness. The young mother will also learn lessons to assist her; many young mothers are Ignorant in every detail as to the care of their offspring.” This great book is sent free to all on receipt of stamps to defray cost of mailing only.
