Graham, and to rescind the motion by and, which A. D. McLean was indorsed for | Coroner, on the ground that he had not been a resident of the State for five vears ;Ibt past, but both attempts were de- eated The caucus testified also the implicit confldence it had in its chairman by em- powering him to select and to name in | convention to-night a county committee | of ninety, four from each district, after considering the wishes of each delegation, and eighteen at large. It w an hour after the time set for the caucus before Chairman Kellogg called it to order. Char J. King of the Thirty-ninth Dis- trict awakened enthusiasm by . offering three cheers for the chairman, which were given with a will. Delegate Reed of the Thirty-ninth As- sembly District asked the privilege of ad- dressing the caucus before the transaction of any business. “In view of the disgracefu! conduct of some of the delegates on the floor of the convention last night,” he sald, “I move that it be ordered that none but delegates be allowed on the floor and th spectators be confined to the galle: that a sergeant and squad of police be requested to ald the sergeant-at-arms to keep order outside.” Many men | | | which was amply able to take care of it- | proceeded with its business. | B Several delegates voiced the opinion that that was a matter for the convention, In this view of it, Delegate Reed self. d the convention withdrew his motion an Charles L. Field, chairman of the com- mittee appointed o select the candidates for Supervisor, announced the result of its deliberations. He sald the task had been not altogether an agreeable one. The com- mittee nad worked faithfully and many hours. Those who appeared before the members had urged the candidates for whom they had been instructed without overstepping the bounds. Not a single candidate whose cause had been espoused by & member of the committee had re- céived favorable consideration. The names recommended were: Nathan Bibo, 1515 Vallejo street; Charles Bliss, 1904 Golden Gate avenue; Major Charles Boxton, 644 Hayes street; Joseph Britton, §29° Union street; Colonel Victor Duboce, 7 Baker street; Samuel Foster, 1722 Washington street; D. C. M. Godsell, 429 i street; Thomas L. Henderson, 125 a Vista avenue; W. C. Johnson, 4079 ghteenth street; Milo 8. Jeffers, 509 xth street; Charles J. King, Hotel St. icholas; George R. Sandersoq, 3708 Jack- n street; George 1 Shaw, 3820 San Carlos avenué; Dr. E. N. Torello, 4267 Mission street; Willlam Watson, 2506 Harrison street: C. S. Wright, 1201 Jones street; Adam Beck, 2028 Mission street; Willis M. Brown, 82 Turk street; James L. Field, 718 Oak_street; S. . Kent, 614 Sutter ctreet; Sidney M. Smith, Broadway and Webster street; John L. Koster, 926 Grove reet; James Patterson, 924 Greenwich street: M. R. Roberts Jr., 94 Washington street; Robert McMullag, 500 Thirteenth street. It was the committee's recommendation that the first sixteen names mentioned be the nominees of the caucus. Mr. Field explained that the sixteen were the choice | Edmond Tauszky, in order to clear up the | of the prospective Republican candldate for Mayor. It was stated that all of the committeemen agreed to the report with one exception. T. V. Maxwell cof the Thirty-seventh District announced that he was the dis-| senting member of the committee and as | such, in the way of minority report, | moved as an &mendment that the name o James E. Field, the choice of the Thirty- seventh District for Supervisor, be placed at the head of the list. J. Humphreys of the Thirty-seventh District arose to oppose the amendment | offered by Maxwell. He said: | “As a member ;of the Thirty-seventh | Assembly District and as one who sup- | ported Mr. Field in the committee I hope the original motion will prevall. This is | considerable of a stand for a man to take, but I belleve it {s a stand in the cause of right and right is what we want to prevall. This report carries with it the nomination of sixteen men who are ac- ceptable to our probable candidate for Mayor. Mr. Field should take his chances with the dther names submitted. I think | that the wishes of the prospective candi- | date for Mayor should be respected.” | Amendments were offered adding _the | names of Captain Roberts and Joseph P. Le Count to the names of num!’nee&; Joseph G. Boyne of the Forty-third, who offered the name of Captain Roberts, | Delegates Hazell, Bradford, Maxwell, | Elder and Solomons, took part in the ex- cited discussion that followed and which seemed far off from settlement when | matter, moved as a substitute that the | entire 1ist of names submitted by the | committee should be placed before the caucus to be voted upon. Another lively discussion followed, in | which Delegates Boyne, Bradford and Maxwell spit fire at each other. Chair- | man Field of the Supervisors’ committee | arose to a question of privilegs to refute % | Le Count were defeated and the orig! the insinuation that the committes had done business in the absence of a quorum. Captain Roberts, who had been named as a candidate for Supervisor by Delegate Boyne, withdrew his name. e substi- tute was put to the house and lost by a decislve vote. The amendments addin the names of James E. Field and Jl . nal motion, adopting the report of the com- mittee and naming the first sixteen on the list as the caucus choice for Super- visors, was carried. Delegate Tauszky’s motfon that the thanks of the delegates be extended to the committee on Supervisors for its labors was carried with cheers. Delegate Burns of the Thirty-first Dis- trict moved that the caucus rescind the action by which it had indorsed Dr. Me- Lean for Coroner, explaining that the candidate was in Kentucky in 18%5. Later Dr. McLean explained that at that time he was a resident of San Francisco, in Kentucky perfecting his education. The motion was laid on the table. A similar motion from Delegate Haynes to re- open the question of the indorsement of Police Judges in the interest of Graham was lost, after a spirited passage, in | which Delegate Bradford voiced his de- sire thdt’ the caucus rescind {ts action indorsing Mr. Haynes’ candidate for Tax Collector. ‘When the Graham incident had been closed the matter of appointing a county committee was brought up. After con- siderable discussion it was decided to allow the chairman to appoint the entire committee after consultation with the chairmen of the delegations. e To-night's convention will nominate a candldate for Superior Judge for the un- expired term, and a committee was named to find a candldate.

Every man In the regiment drew down over $125, s0 a_ goodly sum changed hands before the thousand men were all pald off. The men seemed to have forgotten the fact that payday was a day late, and they showed ali the enthusiasm the occasion warranted. Some of the enthuslasm ex- pended itself in the hazing of one qf the officers who had been rather more than strict, but outside of that the pranks of the men were directed toward each other. The regiment will start East this morn- ing. The men will assemble at the ferry in time to catch the 11 o’clock boat for Oakland, and within an hour they will be on their way home.

The camp of Manila bound volunteers will also _be deserted, for the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth regiments will leave to- day on the_transports Zealandia, City of Para and Valencia. The coming of the Washington regiment from Manila wiil bring more troops in by the end of this weck, for the Washington men are on the Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania is due any time.

KILMER'S SWAMP ROOT. KIDNEY TROUBLE. The Most Prevalent, Dangerous and Deceptive Disease. Thousands HaveItand Don’t Know It. Pains and aches come from excess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart Is overworking to pump the thick, kid- ney-poisoned blood through the veins and arterfes. Soreness or uncomfortable feeling in the back indicates kidney trouble of no small importance. The passing of scanty or profuse quantities of urine is a warning of kid- ney trouble. If you want to feel well you can make no mistake by first doc- toring your kidneys. The famous new discovery, Dr. Kil- mer’s Swamp-Root, is the true specific for kidney, bladder and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases after all other efforts have failed. Sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-cent and one dollar sizes. A sam- ple bottle sent free by mail to any ad- dress. Also a book teiling all about Swamp-Root and its wonderful cures. When writing, address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
