Sherif of Sonoma Arrests Man With the Missing Baby. { [ T Special Dispatch to The Call ! | SANTA ROSA, Oct. 20.—The holiday of | the excursionists who traveled from San | Francisco to Ukiah this morning was en- | livened by what appeared to be an at- tempt at the kidnaping of the child of tailor in the Mendocino town. A frantic mother's appeals and the activity of the | Sheriffs of Mendocino and Sonoma coun- ties quickly resulted in the return of the youngster, besides causing the arrest at Cotati of the alleged kidnaper. His name is William H. Lowe, and he lives at 214 | Golden Gate avenue, San Francisco. | Harold Sloper, 3 years of | the station in Ukiah when | tarted for Tiburon. Lowe is have invited the boy into one | 1 permitied him to remain S too late to leave the depart- ing train. . Sloper was & ly noted t the station and im- hat her child had dis- | appeare 1t confident that some person on the train had taken him and hurried to the Sheriff’s office. That offi- | cial telephoned description to Tiburon | and Santa Roea, and Mrs. Sloper started | scuth on_the t train. | Sheriff Grace of Sonoma County boarded | the car at Cotati and found the boy with | Lowe, who was taken from the train and | locked up to await an investigation. | Sheriff Grace said to-night: “I re- | ceived a_telephone message from Sheriff | Smith of Mendocino informing me that | a child had been kidnaped and was on the | down train. I boarded the train at Cotati and found Lowe and the child in one of the cars. The man protested that he had intended nothing criminal and said that some person he didn't know handed the infant to him. Apparently he had not been drinking and his explanations were 5o unsatisfactory that I'took him to-the | ail. Sheriff J. H. Smith of Mendocino | County said | “A few minutes after the 5 o’clock { train’ left with excursionists this after- | noon Mrs. Sloper came to my office and | told me her child nad been kidnapel by man at the station. I immediately telephoned to aron and Santa Rosa asking the officers of those points to locate the baby. A far as I know there no re; n wh the child should be , and 1 imagine it was done in a of fun or thoughtlessness.” Thomas J. Lowe. the father of th man mentioned in the bove dispatch, says his son is a bricklayer by occupa- tion but has at various times been em- | ployed about the City Hall. - He knows of | no reason for any kidnaping and shares ! the opinion of the Sheriff's that it was the result of thoughtlessness. DEATH THE PUNISHEMENT OF FORMER VOLUNTEER General Chaffee >Sa_ys There Is Bui One Fitting Penalty for George I Raymond’s Crimes. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—George A. | Raymond, an American and formerly a | private in the Forty-first Volunteer In- | fantry, was tried by military commission | in the Philippines on a 'triple charge of murder, assault - and -Tobbery and sen-‘| tenced to be hanged. The records in this | case of unusual depravity' have just been | received at the War Department. Upon the muster out of the Forty-first | Regiment Raymond went to the province | of Pampanga and endeavored to organize | a band of outlaws among his former com- rades. On the Tth of last May, while he was riding along a road near the Barrio of San Jose-with Henry Bohm, who also had been a private in the Forty-first In- fantry and_with whom he pretended to | be on friendly relations, Raymond treach- | erously turned on his companion and killed him with his revolver and then emptied the dead man's pockets. Two days afterward, in company with | Ulich F. Rogers and George L. Muhn, | formerly of the Firty-first, Raymond, | | garbed in the uniform of a United States | army officer, entered the premises of a | peaceful native and robbed him of sad- | and bridles and three horses.

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 20.—Judge W. T. Newman of the United States District Court has handed down an opinion of in- terest to the mercantile community and the legal profession at large. The Su- preme Court of the United States has decided under a section of the bankruptcy law that a-payment received by a creditor of a bankrupt within four months preced- ing the filing of the petition in bankruptcy must be surrendered before the creditor shall be allowed to prove his claim in bankruptcy, whether the payment was received knowingly or not: Another section of the bankruptey act authorizes a set off to a creditor who has received a preference for the amount of goods which had been sold to the bank- rupt subsequent to the payment re- ceived if the goods entered into and be- came a part of the bankrupt estate. The question before Judge Newman was as to | whether such a set-off would be allowed |in the case of a creditor whose prefer- ence was not knowingly received. | Judge Newman holds that the set-off should he allowed as well as in cases where the payment was innocently re- ceived as in cases where it was not. Judge Newman subsequently passed an order authorizing the trusteé to take the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals at | New Orleans for review. i BODY OF SENATOR DAVIS | TO REST IN WASHINGTON | People of Minnesotu_ Deplore Widow’s Decision to Remove It From | That State. ST. PAUL, Oct. 20.—Mrs. C. K. Davis | left to-night for Washington, where she will hereafter make her home. Previous to her departure she had the body of her | late husband disinterred and will take it to Washington for burial in the national cemetery. The fact that the distinguished Senator’s body was to be removed from the State which had honored him in life was not known until to-day, and has| caused considerable comment. It had been proposed to erect a mausoleum in | one of the city parks, wherein the body | might be entombed, and a measure look- ing to this end was considered by the last | State Legisiature. However, no action had been taken, and it is said that Mrs. Davis, becoming displeased with the de- lay, determined to remove the remains to ‘Washington. A e | Servia Wants Russia’s Friendship. | BELGRADE, Oct. 20.—King Alexander | to-day opened the new Servia Skupt- schina. The speech from the throne pledged the monarch to uphold the new constitution, expressed gratification at tho corréct and friendly relations maintained by Servia with foreign states and em- phasized Servia's ‘‘traditional rfollcy of | securing the friendship and confidence of | Russia.” | 'CANADIAN SCOUTS SURPRISE BOER LAAGER NEAR BALIORAL Attacking Party Loses Two Killed and Three Wounded in a Short Combat That Ends in Flight of the Patriots-—-Greater Part of Cape Colony RETORIA, Oct. 20.—A force of Canadian scouts surprised a Boer Jaager near Balmoral. The Boers fled after a short fight. The Can- adians had two killed and one of- ficer and two men wounded. LONDON, Oct. 21.—*‘Mr. Kurger has re- ceived a report from Schalk-Burger that the greater part of Cape Colony is in open rebellion,”. says a dispatch to the Daily Mail from Brussels, “and that the Boers have armed fifteen thousand Afrikanders within the last three months."” Referring to the movements of Profes- Is Reported 2 to Be Now in Open Rebellion 5. <+ £ L3 INTREPID BOER LEADER WHO IS DECLARED IN A LETTER FROM A PRETORIA BURGHER TO HAVE DIED IN THE FIELD AFTER SUFFERING TERRIBLE AGONY FROM A WOUND INFLICTED BY A SPLINTERED SHELL. : 5 3 i is no reason to believe he will change his attitude in the least.” This announcement, coming from a high - authoritative quarter, will set at rest all rumors which have been in circulation since Mr. Roosevelt's entrance into the White House that he proposes to intér- vene in some way in behalf of the Boers. These rumors have created some annoy- ance in official quarters, especially one published yesterday, announcing that the United States was sounding the powers of continental Europe with a view of as- | certaining if they were prepared to act | with her in restoring peace In South | Africa. ! No such action has been taken or is | —% sor F. Demaartens of the University of St. Petersburg, who is also a member of the Russian Privy Council, the Brussels correspondent of the Standard denies that he has any mission from the Russlan Government bearing upon the South Afri- can situation and asserts that Boers circles in Brussels discredit the possibil- ity of Ru!i}lan intervention. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. — “President Roosevelt is entirely in harmony with the policy of the late President McKinley in all matters connected with the war in South Africa, and, so far as known among his most intimate official associates, there * contemplated by the administration. It is furthermore said that no power of Eu- rope has made any representations to the United States on thé subject of interfer- ence in South Africa, and it appears to have become the settled purpose of Eu- Tope to pay no heed to the appeals of President Kruger and his committee. L e e e D e e 2 B P R SRR STORM SWEEPS UPON SKAGUAY Torrent of Water From Mountains Destroys Bridges. , PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Oct. 20.— Skaguay and vicinity have been visited by a disastrous rainstorm, according to passengers arriving on the City of Seat- tle to-day. The storm caused great loss of property. On the afternoon of October 13 a torrent of water rushed down the valley. Three bridges were wrecked, the roadbed of the White Pass and Yukon Rallroad was washed away in places, and the water front between Broadway and the bluff was inundated. A big slide occurred near - Pennington and the snow sheds just erected were wrecked. Three days is the minimum time before trains can be moved on the road, The losses will easily foot to $75,~ 000. When the waters began to make their appearance around the doors of houses in Skaguay on the low ground considerable excitement prevailed, and as the rain con- tinued in torrents, all persons made prepa- rations to move. Captain Jenks of the United States army ordered the military out and they rendered assistance in sav- ing both life and property. The carrying away of bridges along the railroad means a great loss to men at Dawson who were shipping in machinery for winter mining purposes, as the ma- chinery now at Skaguay cannot be moved until the road is repaired, and by that time the river will be frozen so that the machinery cannot reach Dawson until spring. The steamer Centennlal, reported ashore near Teller City by the steamer St. Paul, arrived in quarantine last night, bringing 450 passengers. The Centennial sailed from Nome October 9. Among her passen- gers were thirty who were destitute and were brought down by the steamer free of charge. The Centennial's passengers report that at St. Michael winter had practically set in and that the streets were frozen and snow had commenced to fall. BOSTON CHURGH -~ BARS PATRIOTS Denounces Constitution of United States as Immoral. e BOSTON, Oct. 20,—James Jackson of Cambridge, who was suspended from membership in the Second Reformed Presbyterian Church because, on becom- ing an American citizen, he took the oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States, proposes to fight the ruling. Jack- son took part in to-day's services at the church. The case is probably one of the strang- est of its kind ever called to the attention of the people of Massachusetts. Dr. Jack- son is a Scotchman by birth, but now, after ten years here, he has taken out naturalization papers. Rev. J. M. Foster, pastor of the church from which Jackson was suspended, is quoted as making the following statement in regard to the case: “We look upon the Constitution of the United States as an immoral documsnt and an insult to the Almighty, in that it makes no mention whatever of God and claims for the people that sovereign pow- er which belongs to God alone. We re- fuse to accept the Constitution thus de- :te?'“" and cannot swear allegiance to o Mrs. McKinley Still Improving. CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 20.—Surgeon Gen- eral Sternberg of Washington left to- night for Columbus on official business. He was a guest at the McKinley home to- day. Itis given out that he stopped here merely as an old friend of the McKinleys to make a social call on Mrs. McKinley. She is said to be *‘doing nicely.” There was no change in her condition that called for the presence of Surgeon General Sternberg in consultation. BIDG FAREWELL T0 CANADIANS Royal Visitors to Leave Halifax To-Day on Yacht Ophir. HALIFAX, N. 8., Oct. 20.—The royal party has spent its last day in Canada. This morning the Duke and Duchess ex- pected to attend service at St. Paul's An- glican church, but the Governor General and the Countess were the only promi- nent members of the royal party that were present. An immense congregation at- tended the service in expectation of meet- ing the royal couple. The Bishop of Nova Scotia, Rev. Dr. Courtney, preached a sermon in which he said that the belief in the divine right of Kings was dead, and thanking God that such was the case, Robert Burns, he contended, was the man whom he considered had done more than any one in his generation to establish the equality of mankind. In the evening there was a dinner at Admiralty House, at which the Duke and Duchess attended. The warships were il- luminated this eveninz. ‘The rfiyal couple will leave for §t. ns, N.

Henry Black, for some time chap- lain of the British cruiser Charybis, who mysteriously disappeared from St. Johns last Wedmesday, was found this morning near that place, shot through the head. He had evidently committed suicide in consequence of dementia, attributed to the great excitement growing out of the ar- | scoundrels, D | Signal held its forms back from Saturda HUMGR ENLIVENS THEIR CAMPAIG Spectacular Features in Sacramento Mayor- alty Fight. Fireworks, Tent and Abund- ant Melody. Among the Attractions. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 20.—The Mayor- alty campaign grows warmer as it pro- gresses. While there are no less than four candidates in the field the actual fighting has marrowed down to the forces of Wil- liam Land, the Republican nominee, and George H. Clark, Independent. Rival meetinigs are held on the same nights, and vocalists, musicians, jugglers and other | entertainers are enlisted to supplement the allurements of spellbinders in holding the crowds. Clark goes about town with a tent, which he pitches on vacant lots, and a band riding about in a tallyho drums up the expectant multitude. Land, on the. other hand, affects fire- works and resounding anvils in the open air, and both plans of campaign appear to have caught popular favor. Meanwhile James H. Devine, the Democratic candi- date, is making capital out of the contrast presented by the standing alone on his public record and declining to violate the purity of election law by permitting ex- | cessive expenditures in his interest. Gen- eral Tozer, tHe Municipal League candi- date, deserted by the very men who were foremost in forming the reform organiza- tion, is pluckily making his fight, al- though with small chance of success. The current sensation is the open charge made by Edward Bruner that the proprie- tors of the Signal, -organ of the Council of Federated Trades, have attempted to blackmail William Land out of $450. Bru- ner publicly denounces the Signal men as and says he is prepared to He declares that the rove his charge. to ‘Monday in order to permit its publish- ers to extort $450 from the Republican candidate and, failing in this, came out with Land and has continued its abuse of that nominee. One of the anomalies of the campaign | is the circumstance that George H. Clark has won, the indorsement not only of the | Pastors’ Union, made up of the clergymen of the city, but also the indorsement of the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association, comprising the saloan-keepers of the town. The ministers have indorsed Clark because they say he has, as Mayor, stopped gambling, while the liquor deal- ers bave indorsed him because he has al- lowed their nickel-in-the-slot machines to run. without hindrance. Incidentally the clergymen are ‘“catching it” of the parishioners, who say that the good men have been passed a ‘‘plated brick™ and that they should keep their hands out of the political pot, anyhow. Clark has established a paper of his own called the Independent, and it bristles with the pointed sarcas reputed editor in chief, Hiram W. John- son, who, with his brother, Albert M. Johnson, conducted Clark’s side of the fa- fairly of it: mous oil-land suit against Colonel J. B. | Wright and others. While the Johnson brothers are speaking nightly for Clark at the tent meetings, their father, Grove L. Johnson, is as forcibly declaiming for Land, and protesting that even if the sons are on the money side the parent is not. Presbyterians Conclude Sessions. NAPA, Oct. 20.—The sessions of the California Synod of the Presbyterian church closed here to-night. It has been a most interesting and successful one, and the reports from all parts of the State are to the effect that the church is fast gain- ing ground.

At one time dandruff was attributed to be the result of a feverish condition of the scalp, which threw off the dried cuti- cle in scales. Professor Unna, Hamburg, Germany, noted aulhority on skin diseases, explodes this theory and says that dandruff is a germ disease. This germ is really responsible for the dandruff and for so many bald heads. It can be cured if it is gone about in ths right way. The right way, of course, and the only way, is to kill the germ. Newbro's Herpicide does this, and causes the hair to grow luxuriantly, just as nature intended it should.
