SANTA ROSA, Dec. 28.—The clerk of the weather seems to be making a special effort to win the good graces of the ed here in such numbers this week. Every day has been almost like one in spring time and this morning was no excep- tion. As a result it seemed to have become the proper thing to take a long constitutional, or at least a short walk of some kind, every morning before starting for the convention hall.

He reported upon behalf of the special committee appointed at the last meeting, and the change sug- gested was that a fourth district be created and that hereafter one meeting be held in each district in succession. The northern part of the State was selected for 1900, the San Joaquin Val- ley for 1901, and the bay section for 1902, and so on. The matter will be passed upon later.

T ACOMA, Dec. 28—FExtensive placer mining operations are being con- ducted on Snake River, in this State and Idaho, according to ex-City Clerk Smythe, who has returned from a summer’'s work there. But few claims are regularly located, because the gold is found chiefly in small bars that are soon worked out. The miners then move to other bars of which many are constantly forming. A majority of bars produce about $500 each. This free minine is carried on for hundreds of miles up and down Snake River, and is open to everyhody. Several hundred miners were engaged this year, making from mere wages ul to $20 a day. The Klondike rusi caused rany Snak. River miners to leave, but they are now coming back. Several big placer mines are located on the banks f “ie Snake. The largest of these is the Cariboo mine, in Bingham County, Idaho, owned by John Thomas & Son of Chicago. who took out $35,000 this season in eizht days. They have twenty-eight miles of ditches and having corralled all the water in their locality, they control about 10,000 acres of placer ground. They have 10,000 feet of iron pipe and use eight nozzles. Their gravel runs from six to twenty feet in depth. They get many $50 nuggets and from that down to fine gold, which is worth $19 50 an ounce.

POISON SENT IN A PRESENT AUNT OF THE INTENDED VIC- TIM XKILLED. -Contents of a Bromo Seltzer Bottle in a Medicine Case Prove to Have Been a Deadly Powder. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Mrs. Kate J.| Adams, a widow of 63, died at 61 West | Eighty-sixth street this afternoon. a| half hour after having taken a dose | supposed to be bromo-seltzer. The | medicine was given to her by her nephew, Harry Cornish, a well known | athlete and physical director of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club. i Immediately after the collapse of| Mrs. Adams, Cornish. alarmed at the | effect of the medicine upon her, took a | teaspoonful of it himself. He was un- conscious for more than an hour. and Dr. E. F. Hitchcock, who was sum- | moned, was also rendered ill by tasting the contents of the bottle, although he | took less than one-eighth of a grain in | the effort to discover the nature of lhe; poison mixed with the bromo-seltzer. | He was so ill that he was unable to give either of the other sufferers at-| tention, and at his direction Dr. E.| Stiles Potter was sent for. Dr. Potter gave Mrs. Adams power- ful emetics, but was unable to save her life. He used a stomach pump on Mr. Cornish with successful results, al- though for a time his life was de- | spaired of. Dr. Hitchcock was able to assist Dr. Potter after having taken an emetie, and is in no danger now, al- though it was said at his house to- night he was so weak from the effect | of the poison that he had been obliged | to go to bed. { From the story told by Cornish it} is evident an attempt was made by | some person or persons to poison him. | The bottle of bromo-seltzer was sent | |to him at the Knickerbocker Club on | Saturday night in a silver medicine re- I(‘epla('le, which bore the “Tiffany” mark and the number 810. There was |no name attached to the package, and | | Cornish made several efforts to find out who his generous friend was. Purely to gratify the curiosity of his aunt and her daughter, Mrs. Florence Rogers, to whom he had mentioned the gift, he took it home with him late | Tuesday night from the club and | showed it to them. They admired it | and this morning when Mrs. Adflla:s} | complained of a headache Mrs. Rogers | | thought of the little bottle of bromo- | seltzer and went to Cornish’s room to | get it. Mrs. Adams was the innocent victim of some person or persons who meant to murder Cornish. If Cornish has any suspicion as to | Who sent him the medicine he will not | make it known. He has placed all the | facts in the hands of Assistant District | | Attorney John T. McIntyre, who is his | | personal friend, and at McIntyre’s sug- gestion he refused to see all callers. | McIntyre made several statements | about the case this evening, but in none did he give the slightest intimation of a clew and his invariable answer to questions on this point was that the case had not developed sufficiently to warrant making public any suspicions that might be entertained. Cornish is divorced from this wife who is said to live in Boston. Cornish’ | parents live in Hartford, Conn. They | declare they know of no one who would be interested in causing their son's | death. | In many ways the case is similar to | which is | being tried in San Francisco. Mr. Mc- | Intyre and District Attorney Gardiner both said to-night that they had no doubt the methods used in that case had suggested the method adooted by whoever sent the poison to Cornish. Just what the noison mixed with the bromo-seltzer was is still a matter of conjecture. Doctors Hitchcock. Pot- ter and Coroner's Physician Watson agree it was either cyanide of potas- sium or strychnine. Its instantaneous | | effect on those who took it led thei | physicians to believe at first that it i1was prussic acid, but after a careful ! examination it was decidcd there was none of that poison in the bottle. The bromo-seltzer and the poison it con- | tained are now in the hands of Chemist | Lederle of the Health Department and it will be known definitely to-morrow Jjust what the poison is. force. be at your age? of early orrors? with nerve energy. may be worth years of your life.

LAUNCHING THE LIFE-BOAT. There are greater dangers than those of the angry sea. That dread disease—coii- sumption, kills more men and women in a generation thay the sea has swallowed up since the earliest history of navigation. There is a sure and safe life-boat ever ready to be launched for men and women who suffer from this merciless destroyer. It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov- ery. It cures o8 per cent. of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asthma, laryn- gitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood and throat and nasal troubles. It acts directly on the lungs, driving out all impurities and disease germs. It soothes and heals the mucous membranes of the bronchial tubes, throat and nasal cavities. It restores the lost appetite, makes digestion and as- similation perfect, invigorates the liver, and purifies and enriches tt lood. It fills the blood with the life-giving elements of the food that build new and healthy tissues. It tears down, carries off and excretes the diseased and half dead tissues upon which the germs of consumption thrive. It checks the cough and facilitates expectoration until the lungs are thor- oughly cleared. It is the great blood- maker and flesh-builder. Unlike cod liver oil, it does not build flabby flesh, but the firm, muscular tissues of health. It does not make corpulent people more corpulent. Thousands have testified to their cure under this great medicine after they were given up by the doctors, and all hope was gone. An honest dealer will not suggest some inferior substitute for the sake of a little extra selfish profit. A man or woman who neglects constipation 4uffers from slow poisoning. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. One little “‘Pellet” is a gentle laxa- tive, and two a mild cathartic. All medicine dealers sell them. No other pills are “‘just as good."” Out of the Race! 1t is a dismal thing to be dropping out of the Tace of life—to stand aside helpless while others aro crowding to victory—to be gloomy whers others are cheerful and gay—to hunger whers others are feasting—to have no part or relish in the life-blessings that were intended for ali. This break-down Is simply a result of Nerve Starvation, and is accompanied or will soon De followed by other symptoms—by headaches, irritability, languor, stomach and intestinal troubles, and general debility and prostration of the system. If you want fo be in the race again, you MUST FEED YOUR NERVES. There 1s no other way consistent with natural law. If the nerve mechanism be made right the whole human machine will resume its powers and functions. Happily our latest science has found a way to do this.
