Epecial Dispatch to The Call. | SONOMA, Feb 1.—The planting of the | memorial tree in honor of the late Gen- | eral M. G.

The tree was a lve oak taken | | from the general's former home place, end was replanted in the public plaza, which was given to the city by this dis- | tinguished gentleman more than mrea-i score years ago.

SAN JOSE, Feb. 1.—The Louvre salooa on North First street was entered by burglars early this morning and about $10 taken. It is believed the thieves hid themselves in the saloon last night before it was closed and then let themselves out by a side door. The cash drawer under the bar was forced open with a “jimmy” and two nickel-in-the-slot machines were opened. A contribution box of the Home- finding for Children Society was emptied of several dollars. — Denver Invites Two Generals.

WASTING HOURS IN ARGUMENT End of Lynching Trial Appears to Be Far Distant. Afternoon Session Remark- able for Absence of Usual Strife. Bpecial Diepatch to The Call. ALTURAS, Feb, 1.—Another week has elapsed in the trial of James W. Brown, the alleged Lookout lyncher, and the end does not appear to be in sight. The pol- icy of the defense, apparently, is to call a great many witnesses in the effort to puncture the testimony of Hutton and Morris, the lynchers who confessed, and to establish alibis for the men implicated by the confession. For some reason the defense scems disposed to stretch out the | trial as far as possible. Thus almost the entire forenoon session of the court was wasted in an argument over the admissa- bility in evidence of a poster offeriug a reward for the apprehension of the lynch- ers—and this after the court had already ruled thet the poster could not be admit- ted. ‘When Attorney John E. Raker, for the defense, placed Sheriff Ben Street on the stand with the view of disproving the statement made yesterday by one of the counsel for the prosecution that there WAS not one dollar reward offered for the conviction of the lynchers he raised a storm that nearly resulted in his being sent to jail for contempt. Raker (to Street)—Have you a procla- mation from the Governor of this State oftering a reward for the lynchers? Street—I have. Raker—I now offer in evidence this-- Sturtevant, for the prosecution, ob- jected, on the ground that it was a poster and not the best evidence, as it was not a certified copy. Raker—We want to prove that this poster has been flashed in the faces of the people of Lookout, Bieber and Alturas They saw it, acted upon it and belicve in it The court—I will not accept that competent evidence. Get a certified ¢ of the Governor's proclamation and court will consider it. Raker—We expect to show that a ward of $200,000 has been offered. The court—I will send the jury from the room if you continue to make such a harangue as that. It is all done for ma- liclous purpose. | Wants State Official Subpenaed. Raker—I ask for a subpena for the Gov- ernor’s private secretary and C. F. Curry, Secretary of State. I want to prove these posters have been circulated all over the State of California. The court—Gentlemen of the jury, you Raker, it you continue s re- T will send you to jail such conduct. Raker—I am through, your Honor. The court—You always are through after you have injected your virus before the jury. Raker—My God, you would kick me out of the court if I sat here likt a stone and | did not get In evidence for this defendant. The court—You are having your speil again to-da; Raker—I have not been adjudicated in- The court—If you keep on you will be | so. Raker—How about my application fox subpenas? | The Court—It has been your object in this case to saddle such expense on Mo- doc County. The prosecution’s clerk can make appilcation to the Governor for a certified copy of the Governor's procla- | mation and if there are any funds in the Modoc County treasury the bill will be | paid by the county. You have no right | to make the county foot bills for such | evidence. . Raker—We want to prove the statement | of counsel for the prosecution that there | is no reward is not true. Spencer—The prosecution wants to shut | out every evidence and hide the facts in| the case. The State offers a reward and | the State, through the Attorney Gen- eral's office, repudiates it. The State is in a curious predicament. Hours Wasted in Strife.

When Doctor Coe established his prac- tice in San Francisco he told the people that he would introduce methods of cur- ing them of which they were uninformed. Doctor Coe would like to treat every sick person in California absolutely free, but even if he were 2 millionaire a hundred times over and could afford to do this, the crowds that throng his Office have ehown the impossibility of it. While he cannot treat all free forever, he can, how- ever, do one thing, and thaf is this: He will guarantee to treat all persons applying at his office be- fore February 15 for the nominal sum of $10 until cured. That is, $10 covers the entire cost for a cure, medicine included, and no further fee will be asked. It has always been the principle of his life not to waste time upon cases that he considers incurable. Doc- tor Coe wishes to make it em- phatic that this offer expires on the 15th day of February, and in order to get the benefit of it, treat- ment must be commenced on or before that date. N He does not make a specialty of treating any one class of diseases, but all diseases incident to the human family.

BARKENTINE AMAZON IS GIVEN TO THE WATERS OF THE BAY Mrs. Andrew Aus, Wife of the Vessel’s Future Commander, Breaks the Traditional Bottle of Champagne and Christens the New Craft in the Presence of a Large Gathering at Benicia ENICTA, Feb. 1—Benicla’s ship yards were the scene of a suc- cessful launching this morning, when vessel number 223 was re- leased from her fastenings and gracefully slipped into the bay. Mrs. Andrew Aus, wife of Captain Aus, who is to be in command of the new barkentine, broke the traditional bottle of champagne and christened the new craft the Amazon. Although the hour of the launching was early, there was a large gathering of spectators. The Amazon; the schooner Solano, launched on March 1, 1901, and the Ama- ranth, launched on July 22, 1901, are to be under the control of Captain Matthew Turner and his friends. The Amazon is | 2 beautiful vessel and the largest of the fleet, being 220 feet long, 42 feet 10 inches of beam and 19 feet 6 inches of depth of She will carry 1150 tons cargo or 000 feet of lumber.

L B e e e e e e 2 o e o e 2 R R R R S S of California regarding the offer of re- ward - issued by the National Anti-Mob and Lynching Law Association of Spring- field, Ohio, and a similar offer made by the International Counsel, world head- quarters, Seattle, Wash. Each was ob- jected to and row upon row was piled up on the record. The court ruled with the prosecution and the evidence offered was marked as refused exhibits. Raker protested and said he would stand on the decisions of the Supreme Court of the State of California in support of his contention. Sturtevant said there was no law in the world to support the evidence offered by Raker and expressed his will- ingness to argue the matter all day. Hardly an unpleasant word was uttered during the afternoon session. The de- fence recalled Erving Carpenter, Constable of Lookout, " When on the stand several days ago Carpenter testified that on the night of May 30 Brown, the defendant, re- ported to him that he had heard rumors that a mob intended to lynch Daniel Yantis and “Jim” Hall. Asked to-day if Brown had said anything else the witness quoted Brown as having said that if he heard any miore about the lynching he would let Carpenter know. In reply he told Brown that in case he heard any- thing further about a lynching he would get a team and take the prisoners to Alturas for safe-keeping. Contradicts Previous Witnesses. Silas Myers, 15 vears of age, son of J. R. Myers, proprietor of the hotel in Look- out, was called to the stand. His testl- mony contradicted that of his sister, Mrs. Gibbons, and that of Samuel Parks, Erving Carpenter and Sidney Goyette in some particulars. He said that when he was awakened by the mob he lay in bed for a few minutes and then went to his mother's room. He saw Samuel Parks in the hall, fully dressed, and saw his sister, Mrs. Gibbons, leave her room to go to her mother’s. Parks had testified that he was putting on his coat in the hall and was so oc- cupled in that operation that he did not see Mrs. Gibbons and they collided, she asking to be excused. Young Myers tes- tified that they did not speak and he did not see them collide. After supper on the night of May 20 the witness saw Samuel Parks sitting in the barroom of the hotel where the prisoners ‘were confined. Parks had testified that he went to Trowbridge’s store immediately after sup- per and did not return to the hotel until 9 o'clock, Young Myers sald that his father came upstairs but once after going down to see what the trouble was, and that he came back to dress fully. Judge Myers had testified to having days, 20 A. M, to 3 P, M. _ — made three trips upstairs, once with a stimulant for his daughter, who was hys- terical. The'witness told the jury that his sister, Mrs. Gibbons, left her mother's room only once, whereas Mrs. Gibbons said that she went from her mother’s to her own room three times, and, the second time, looked through her window andesaw the lynch- ers on the street. Young Myers said that when he went to the barroom after the confusion had abat- ed he found gathered there Sidney Goy- ette, Samuel Parks, his father, “Jim” Brown and Erving Carpenter. None of these men had testified that young Myers was in the barroom at all during the night. Establishing an Alibi. Henry Lorenz, a farmer, testified to having recognized Jerve Kresge plowing in his field on the forenoon of May 30, but cn cross-examination said that Kresge was a quarter of a mile from him when he saw him. . J. P. Miller, a farmer living eighteen miles from Lookout, testified that Jerve Kresge came to his ranch on the after- noon of May 30, had dinner with the fam- ily and slept at Miller's house all night, and that he did not leave during the night. The following day Claude Morris, another of the alleged lynchers, came to Miller's place, and, with Kresge, took “Bob” Lev- enton’s horse away. Roy Miller and Philip Miller, sons of the preceding witness, gave corroborative tes- timony. Roy Miller was asked by the prosecution on cross-examination if he had ever told Dill Sherer that he and Kresge arrived at the Miller ranch about 8 o'clock on the mornipg of the lynching, and that their horses were in a badly blown condition. The witness replied that he bad never so stated, and that if any have been built for the South Pacific Isl- | WOMAN'S BORES IN A BASEMENT | | | Startling Discovery Is Made Under a Lodi Store. Caving Earth Reveals Skele-| ton in a State of Perfect Preservation. Special Dispatch to The Call. LODI, Feb. 1.—In an unused portion of the basement under Friedberger's store the skeleton of a woman was found yes- terday. In the southeast cbrner of the basement water from the winter's rains had seeped through the earth beneath the sidewalk and by continuous dripping had washed away a portion of the side embankment, exposing to view the bones of the left foot and ankle. Not a ray of light enters the celler, and whenever Mr. Friedberger has occasion to descend to it, which is seldom, he takes a lighted lantern. It may be that a portion of the skeleton has been exposed to view for a year or more, or it is possible that the earth covering the lower portion of the limbs had but recently caved in. The soft earth was removed and the skeleton was found to be preserved al- most intact. A gold-plated ring, corroded till it was almost the color of the bones of the hand, was taken from the index finger. Circling about one-half of the in- side of the ring was a name that under a powerful glass was made out to be “Clara Wells” or “Clara Welts.” An iron retort, such as was used in the mines in early days for fusing metal, was found embedded in the earth near the skull. How the body came to be entombed where it was found will probably be for- ever a mystery. That it was given no formal burial is apparent from the fact | that there was nothing to indicate that it had ever been inclosed by a casket. DR. AND MRS.

The Antiquated, Barbaric, Un= scientitic BMecthods Bmployed to “Cure Every Il by a Dif= ferent Pill”’ Have to Give Way to the Scientific Trecatment Introduced by Mr. William Radam. Facts of nature prove that there is but “ONE CAUSE FOR ALL DISEASES,” which is fermentation, produced by mi~ crobes in the blood. To destroy these microbes is the infalll- ble cure. Mr. Wm. Radam has made a systematic investigation on this subject and discov- ered that microbes cannot be destroyed by the use of drugs. Nothing but a pow- erful antiseptic gas will destroy them ef- fectually. The reason why all disease treated with drugs invariably runs its course or be- comes chronic is due to the fact that a harmless antiseptic cannot be compound- ed of drugs or organic matter. The only harmless antiseptic yet discove ered is “R. M. K.” Owing to its composition, which is water charged with harmless antiseptic gas, its power of destroying microbes in the human body without injury to the sys- tem is beyond dispute. In fact, that ques- tion has been settled In several courts of law long ago. The phenomenal success of the health authorities in preventing the spread of contagious diseases forcibly demonstrates that all diseases can be prevented and cured by RADAM'S HARMLESS ‘ANTI- SEPTIC GAS TREATMENT, because it strikes directly at the root of the evil. Having briefly explained the cause and cure of disease, the following instructions will enable any one to prevent and cure every contagious disease, no matter how deadly it may be, by the use of R. M. K. TO PREVENT DISEASE—A wineglass- ful taken internally three or more times a day will fortify any person against in- fection. We have yet to hear of the first case where children or adults have con- tracted disease who used the R. M. K. as a preventive. TO CURE DISEASE—Patients must drink enough of the R. M. K. to permeata the system with theeantiseptic gas. The quantity required varies with the disease.
