The result of his { work will be published by the Govern- | ment printing ‘office next September. A number of features interesting to San Franciscans are brought out by this com- | parative stua. San Francisco is the ninth city in the | ecuntry in population. Baltimore, Cleve- lané and Buffalo rank immediately above it, while Cincinnati and Pittsburg are a little smaller. San Francisco has the ing statistics of cities west of the Rocky | Mountains having a population of 30,000 | sco, and will return | FOR THE ices in Santa Cruz Under | to the State Co-clave of Chris ONE DAY IN CONVENTION YOUNGER FOLK Enthusiastic Intermediates and Juniors Take Charge of Sarv- the Auspices of the Delegates n Endeavor Workers MARRIES SLAYER OF JOHN YERKEY Miss Clawson Becomes Bride of William Middleton. Romantic Sequel to Tragedy That Stirred the Town of Redding. Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, June 27.—At All Saints’ Lipis- copal Church this evening William Mid- dleton and Miss Cassie Clawson were united in marriage by Rector O. St. John Scott. The couple appeared unexpectedly | at the church, accompanied by Marrick Harvey and Mrs. Dora Thornbrough, and the ceremony was performed without other witnesses. This marriage is the final chapter in a romance that culminated in a lrageg{ two weeks ago. For four years John H, Yeakey, a substantial business man of | family, was Cassie Clawson's lover. Wil- liam Middleton, hardly of age, became her suitor recently. The men came to- gether at the home of Mrs, Dora Thorn- brough on Sunday night, June 15, and after an exciting hour in which Yeakey threatened to kill all four of those pres- {ent and was disarmed, Yeskey ran at | Middleton and was shot ‘dead. Middleton was charged with murder, but was discharged by Justice Herzinger yesterday. The wedding of Miss Clawson gnd Middleton was decided upon only to- ay. g ADVERTISEMENTS.

L e e e e ] | ICEBOUND SHIPS NOT YET SIGHTED Nome Vessels Bring No News of Portland and Jeanie. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, June 27.—The Alaskan liner Roanoke, Captain Weaver, which reached port this mofning from Nome, having sailed from that place three days after the Ohio, brings no authoritative news of the steamships Jeanie and Portland, which, when last seen, were being carried by an ice pack toward the Arctic. On June 18, when the Roanoke pulled out for Seattle, the Dora had returned from her trip northward along the. coast and brought a report that the natives above Cape Prince of Wales had found the wreckage of a large steamship. No credence, however, was placed in the re- port at Nome, for the simple reason that it was not backed by substantial evidence, Naturally, though, to those vitally inter- ested in the fate of the Portland, the story was anything but reassuring. The fleet now searching after the miss- ing vessels has been reinforced by the ad- dition of the revenue cutter Danfel Man- ning. Should any tangible report reach Nome, a number of the large craft in the harbor would be instantly dispatched to assist in the rescue. Probably a number of the remaining steamers at Nome will have gone by this time to aid in the search. At Nome it was belleved that there were but two theories by which the steamship Jeanfe could be considered as still afloat. She might either have been caught in the fee and carried northward, or, in making her way over toward the Siberian coast, have been disabled by some accideht, ¥mhlbly striking a plece of ice, and made ‘or some harbor on that coast for safety, n case the damage was such that it couid ave been repaired, it is likely that the missing, vegssl is still lying at anchor or is on the beach in some protected cove and will not be heard from for some time. B-u? unusually stanch and seaworthy, the Jeanie couls ve become entangled in the ice and escaped where many other vessels would have been ground inty nndltn{ wood. . POR' TOWNSEND, Juhe 27.—The steamer Valencia arrived from Nome this evening and reported that no word had been recelved at Nome of the steamers Portland and Jeanie. The United States revenue cutter Thetis, Which wont to search for Q;:o Portland, had not returned to Nomeé when the Valencia sailed, and fears for A i her safety are beginning to be frey Campbell through the stomach, in- flicting a wound that will cause death. Policeman Alvord observed a revolver in the man's pocket, and after consulting with Officer Jessup determined upon his arrest. Campbell turned into a side street, followed by Alvord, who requested him to halt. The stranger made a defian: retort, whereupon the officer ordered mum to throw up his hands, at the same time drawing his revolver. The supposed desperado attempted to draw his revolver, at the same time seiz- ing the officer’'s weapon. Alvord fired, the ball striking the man in the pit of the stomach and passing clear through his body. A terrible fight followed, the wounded man all the time holding on to the of- ficer’s' weapon. A dozen blows from an- other policeman’s club cracked his skull, but still he retained his grip upon Al- vord’s revolver. His hand was finally broken in order to loosen his hold. Campbell says his home is in Black River Falls. SHOOTS AT HIS WIFE AND YOUNGER BROTHER Sar Luis Obispo Rancher’s Jealousy of Relative Almost Leads to Tragedy. SAN LUIS OBISPO, June 27.—The ar- | rest of James D. Morgan of Los Berros to-day brings to light a sensational story | of domestic infelicity. Morgan is a well- | to-do stockman of the southern part of the county. For some time past, it is al- | leged, he has been jealous of the atten- tions’ of his younger brother, William S. Morgan,,also a married man, to his wife. On Sunday several shots were fired by James Morgan at his wife and brother near the home of the Morgans' parents. None of the shots took effect. Morgan was to-day put under $2000 bonds, awaiting his hearing, which is set for July 10. All the principals to the af- fair are of prominent families.

VALLEJO, June 27.—Willlam Lynch and Anne Murtagh have begun a contest of the will of the late Patrick Lynch, who died in Vallejo on October 10, 1%01. The petitioners, who reside in Ireland, are the half-brother and sister of the deceased. They set up the claim that he was feeble in mind when the will was executed.

I had been sick ever since my first-baby was born, and at the birth of my second, my doctor, as well as myself thought I should never live through it. After that menstrua- tion never came regular and when it came I suffered terribly. I also had womb and ovarian trouble. A friend of my husband’s advised him to get Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for me. At first I had no faith in it, but now nothing could induce me to be without it. Menstruation has become regular and I feel like a new woman.
