CAKLAND RACETRACKTuesday, Jan. 2§,—Weather fine. Track fast. 0 GREAT amount of surprise was occasioned by the showing made by All Green in the Palo Alto handicap at Oakland yesterday, for the Eastern horse has a very suspicious set of underpinning, but the result of the last event proved a stag- gerer for the talent. It was a six-furlong scramble decided under selling conditions, and Tom Ryan's The Pride went to the post a 7 to 5 chance. Johnny Woods rode the favorite, and fourth position was as close as he ever got to the firing line. Maresa, a 40 to 1 shot, piloted by Hoar, iled San Venado for more than haif the route, and then took the lead. Later the outside was joined by King Dellis, a 3 to 1 chance, and Sweet the second choices, all three fighting it out. Maresa gained the decision by a Tooth, one of | neck, with Redfern, on King Dellis, out- | riding Gannon ride Sweet Tooth, get- Ung the place by a nose. Sea Queen, practically left at the post, made a fine run, fin: ng a fair fourth. The tra still showed some traces of the but by this afternoon will be fast. Favorites captured four purses.

SEE ANEING FAOM HOUSETORS HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 2%8.—Weston M. Keiper and Henry Rowe were hanged at 10:40 o'clock to-day in the Harrisburg jail yard in the presence of 1000 persons for the murder of Charles W. Ryan. The murderers went to'their death without a shudder and made no statement on’ the gallows. The requests for admission to the jail were so many that it required the com- bined efforts of the police force and the Sheriff's deputies to keep the crowd away from the entrance. Several of the Jurors were forced to fight their way through the crowd into tne prison. ‘‘'he house tops and telegraph poles in the vicinity were: crowded with people eager to wit- ness the execution. men with a camera secured admittance to the jall for the purpose of securing a snap-shot of the hanging, but the Warden dotected them and took the camera away from them until after the execution. Rowe and Kelper for several years worked in and about the mines at Ly- kens, Pa. During the morning of March 13 last they visited the Halifax National Bank of Halifax, this county, and, with drawn revolvers, demanded of Cashier Charles W. Ryan the cash in the vault. They quickly ‘gathered Into a sack the loose money in the cash drawer, amount- ing to about $8000. While one of them was fastening the sack he laid his re- volver on the cashier's desk. - Ryan selzed the weapon and In a des- perate struggle which ensued the cashier was shot in the breast, dying several hours later. Rowe and Keiper were cap- tured by citizens. Within two weeks they were tried_and convicted of first de- gree murder. Frank R. Sholey, an ac- complice, pleaded guilty as an accessory and was sentenced to ten years in prison, NEW PLAN TO PAY WAGES OF THE PARE LABORERS City Treasurer's Ofice Will Remain Open an Additional Hour for Their Convenience. Auditor Baehr and Treasurer Mc- Dougald conferred with Mayor Schmitz yesterday regarding an arrangement whereby the 300 laborers employed in the parks may cash their demands every month without losing any part of their wages. It was agreed to keep the offices of the Treasurer and Auditor open on the fourth day of each month from 4 to 6 p._m., when the laborers will.be paid. Mayor Schmitz will urge the Park Com- mission to allow the laborers to leave their work at 4 o'clock on the day named. Heretofore the laborers were ‘‘docked’* one-quarter of a day’'s pay when they left work to cash their demands. They were in many instances compelled to seil their demands to storekeepers and money-lend- ers in advance so as not to be incon- venienced in the manner sfated. IFIGHTS A DA ~ WITH WFADDEN in a Sensational Round. ‘Amatgurs Appear in Lively Bouts Before Bay City Club. The boxing exhibition of the Bay City Athletic Club in Mechanics’ Pavilion An- nex last night attracted a small attend- ance; The bouts in several instances proved unusually good. Two promising boxers were developed 1n Jack Wells and Al Crawford. The principal bout was between Job Hilt and Jack McFadden. McFadden scored a clean kncckdown in the first round. The second and third rounds were devoid of interest, but the fourth was a whirlwind affair, each boxer scoring repeatedly. Referee McDeyitt called it a draw. The first bout was between ‘‘Bobby” Johnson and Monte Attel. it went to Johnson on points, as he did most of the werk for three rounds. In the. fourth rouad Attel woke up and gave Johnson a hard argument. The boys exchanged blow for blow, but Johnson's work in the ieal:ly rounds offset Attel's hurricane fin- s| Dan Sullivan and Jack McCormack boxed four rounds to a draw. They were busy throughout, but no damage resulted from their efforts. John Smelter stopped Joe Regan in three rounds. The latter was not knocked out, but nature would not sustain his ef- forts. He was knocked down several times and finally could go no further. Temmy Snailham was awarded the de- cision over Al Crawford after four of the hardest rounds fought in any of the miner clubs recently. Snailham ~was winning handily ‘in the first and second rounds, but Crawford came back at him and fought him to a standstill. The worst Crawford should have had was a draw. Frank George stopped Ed Tomalty in three rounds. The latter was not in con- ai to stand the bustling fight put up by George. Jack Wells gained a decision over Fred Landers in four rounds. Wels nroved a cool, clever boxer and should prove a match for any of the 125-pound men. RAFAEL LOSES TO TURNER. Is Knocked Out in the Third Round at Stockton. STOCKTON, Jan. 28.—Rufe Turner com- pletely outclassed Frank Rafael to-night and put him out in the third round of a scheduled twenty-round go. At no time was the decision in doubt, as the colored boy simply went in and out of Rafael's guard when he wished. Rafael sent in two or three good blows, but would not allow him to gain an advan- tage. The knockout blow was not seen by a half dozen people. Turner feinted with his left and Rafael ducked and ran intc a_ short right jolt, which put him down for about twenty seconds. He had to be assisted to his corner and was. in a dazed condition several minutes after he left the ring. Jack Kane and Jimmy Reil- ly fought a fast ten-round draw. e ] TRIES TWICE 10 END LIFE Jennie Hoffman, a Young Bride, Has a Sui- cidal Mania. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 28, Mrs. Jennie Hoffman, a bride of less than three months, for the second time during her brief wedded life, attempted suicide to-night at her home, 1213 Seventh street. She was taken to the Recelving Hospital by her husband, Louis Hoffman, an employe of the Oakland Gas Company. Steward Borchert diagnosed the case as laudanum poisoning and administered antidotes. In a short time the young woman was pronounced out of danger. She said she would carry out her suicidal intent before her twenty-second birthday, the 3lst -of this month. Mrs. Hoftman was, before her marriage, Wwhich occurred on the 19th of last Novem- ber, Miss Jennie Jones. -She is a sister of Eddie Jones, the world-famous jockey. She first threatened to end her life be- fore the honeymoon was past. After a domestic tiff the young husband stayed away from home two or three nights. The bride, driven to desperation by what she deemed to be evidence of waning affection, procured a bottle of laudanum and warned Hoffman that further neglect would drive her to take the poison. ‘It is surmised that she kept the vial at hand and used its contents to-night. The couple quarreled at dinner and Hoffman hinted that he was weary of her attentlons. “You leave me and I'll kill myself; I'll do it right now,” eried the young wife and she rushed from the room When Hoffman found her she was groan- ing in agony and he hastily summoned the atrol wagon and went with her to the ospital. N Hoffman said to the attendants at the hospital that his wife tried to go down to the bay to drown herself this after. noon. but’ was prevented by his sister- n-law. Hoffman is his bride's senior by only two years. ADVERTISEMENTS. SENT FREE TO MEN!

GARDNER HE betting on the outcome of the meeting between the crack middle- weight boxers, George Gardner and Jack Root, has commenced, al- though the wagering up to the present time has been light. As was expected, Gdrdner has been in- stalled favorite, the opening odds .bemg 10 to 9. What the closing odds wiil be are hard to forecast, depending largely upon the confidence which Root’s support- ers will show. Gardner -cut down his work noticeably yesterday at his Colma training quarters. He did not go far on the road. confining his work almost_entirely to sprinting to develop his speed. He did no boxing in the afternoon, as he did not want to risk in- jury to his hands. Toby Irwin will be afforded an oppor- tunity to show his present form when he meets Jimmie Reilly.

Special Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSEs Jan. 8.—Alden Anderson, president of the State League of Repub- lican Clubs, is a great promoter of har-| meny. ‘To-day he counseled with men representing the various Republican fac- tions of Santa Clara County and gained from them assurance that they would work together on the general proposition to make the biennial convention of the league on April 14, 15 and 16 a success. When the convention adjourns the time limit of the truce will expire, and the contestants may renew the battle for lo- cal supremacy with redoubled exertion. The truce was effected to-day without a wrangle. Anderson was not embar- rassed with conflicting motions, nor was he compelled to listen to vehement out- bursts of oratory. An agreement was readily reached that a general committee of twenty-seven should be created to ar- tange affairs for the league convention. It was agreed further that President An- derson should appoint seven members of this managing committee and that each of the four local factions should name five members. [ It is settled that E. A. Hayes, James W. Rea and John Mackenzie, each the leader of a lively faction, shall be ap- pointed to the general committee. Every sign is indicative of a notable Republican demonstration in this city. ‘Word comes from the south that Los An- geles will send many able and progres- sive leaders to the front. Great delega- tions will come from San Francisco, Oak- land, Sacramento and Stockton. It is ex- pected that Frank Short, E. F. Preston, Henry T. Gage, George C. Pardee, Thom- as_Flint, E. B. Edson, Harold Power, Ja- cob H. Neft. E. C. Voorhels, B. P. Col- gan and others who have been mentioned as'worthy to lead the party to victory in the next State campalgn will attend. It is hoped that General W. H. L. Barndg will reconsider his resolution to make no more political speeches and agree to add the inspiration of his oratory to the speaking events of the convention. The official call inviting league clubs to send delegates to_the convention wiil soon be issued by President Anderson. New Republican ciubs desiring to affiliate with the State League should make ap- plicatfon at once for membership. " Clips a World’s Record.

Abductors Imsist That the Release Occur on Turk- ish Territory. Special Dispateh to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Miss Ellen M. Stone is still a prisoner in the hands of the Bulgarian brigands. Negotiations between the American representatives and agents of the brigands have suffered another setback. The authorities now say that new negotiations must be com menced. Word concerning the failure thé rescue of the missionary reached retary Hay this afternoon. The news was most- disappointing in view of the expec- tation that the woman's release was im- pending.

Wallace are dismissed to make room for civil service watchmen he will withdraw the prisoners now at work on the county roads. The Civil Service Com- mission _insists that as the men arg em- ployed by the Board of Works and paid out of its maintenance fund they should be taken from the eiigible.list. Lackmana declares that he will have only trusted men as guards and he knows nothing about the men whom the Civil Service Commission would supply. Should Lack- mann withdraw the prisoners. needed im- provements on the county roads wiil cease and on that representation the commis- sion may permit the retention of the four men named. —_———— Will Test Trenching Ordinance.

Catarrh of the Stomach APleasant, Simpls, butSafe and Effectual Cure for It Catarrh of the stomach has long been con- sidered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or ‘watery rising, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing, headaches, fickle appetite, nervous- ness and a general played-out, languid feeling. There is often a foul taste In the mouth, coated tongue and If the Interior of the stom- ach could be seen it would show a slimy, in- flamed’ condition, The cure for this common and obstinats trouble is found in a treatment which cau the food to be readily, thoroughly digested be- fore it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a. prompt and healthy digestion is the one nmecessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal conditiom Wil have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal & tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsim, & little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit cids. ‘These tablets can mow be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and adsurance that healthy appetite and thorslgh digestion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher, Chicago, I, writes: “Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the polsonous discharge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomaeh. Medi- cal authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but to-day I am the happlest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- Jets. I cannot find appropriate words to ex- press my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.’ Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets s the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, billousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.
