San Jose. gl Supervisors Ignore Him in Naming Primary Elec- tion Officers. AR Special Dispatch to The Call, SAN JOSE, July 23.—The complete rout of the Mackenzie forces in Santa Clara County was indicated to-day when thel Board of Supervisors, in arranging for the | primary elections to be held on August 12, | enti overlooked the Harbor Commis- ioner and his friends. For years Macken- zie has made up the slates of election of- | ficers and has occupied the room of the hoard while its action was being taken. To-day he was conspicuous by his ab- sence. Since his defeat in the recent city | | election, ““Boss” Mackenzie has been rele- gated into political oblivion. Muckerzie has practically no representa- tion among the primary election officers. In the city not one of his followers was | given a place in the booths. Heretofore | the California Club, Mackenzie's organi- | zation, has controlled all of the city pre- cinets. For years trusted employes of the “boss” were always sure of picking up a | few dollars on election day—the reward | for their devotion to him. In the county Mackenzie has fared but | little better. The Supervisors realize that | they can look for nothing from the Mac- kenzie faction in the way of fairness and in the choosing of the officers it was done in a way to insure honesty. The best set of election officers ever chosen in the county are those named to-day. STERN’S TOUCHING PLEA. Of the old Board of Supervisors there any influence.

The | dead were Mrs. A. L. Carpenter, Miss Dénlap and Stanley Healy. The party left here last Sunday to go to Sinrock.

On Wednesday night there was a storm and they must have been swamped in the heavy surf while trying to make a landing early Thursday morning. No one saw the party after it left Cripple River. Healy's home was in Vancouver, Wash. He came here in 190 from Portland. He was 27 years of age. Miss Denlap’s home | was in Ranchtown, Pa. She was 30 years of age. The Carpenters came to Nome in | 1900 from Butte, Mont. The Northern Commercial Company's sidewheeler Sadie reached the mouth of the Keewalik River, off Candle, on the evening of July 4, and was the first boat in, beating the Corwin two hours. She found the camp entirely out of provisions and on the verge of famine, which con- dition was immediately relieved, as both boats carried cargoes of supplies, fresh fruit and vegetables. The reports from'Candle are conflicting. Some clalm the creek is rich, others that it is a failure. Magnus Kjelsberg, one of the heaviest operators, is enthusiastic. He says he knows the creek is good from No. 6 to No. 20. On No. 17 he claims to have cleaned up 110 ounces in one day's run. Ten and twelve dollar pans, he says, are not uncommon.

B0GUS BARON 13 PENITENT Spends Day in Jail in Tears and Vain Repinings. e “Baron” Otto }'on Meder spent a dis- mal and tearful day in the City Prison vesterday. He was thoroughly repentant and wiiling to tell all about his meteoric career among the fast set of San Fran- cisco. I am not a Baron,” he said yesterday. “l know I represente¢c myself as such, but I have no title to my name. I have | borrowed large sums from my friends without any adequate means of repaying the money. I cannot tell you why I did it. The fascination of spending money overcame me. I was so kindly received irand so royally treated by the best men and women in San Francisco that I felt I should make some adequate return for their hospitalities. To do this I found I needed more money than I had, so I borrowed at every opportunity. I can- net say why I did it. Perhaps the wine got info my head. All I want to do row | is to let the men T have victimized know that I lied to them. I am willing to take my punishment, but I hope that my good friends in California will not have too baa an opinion of me.” A complaint was filed yesterday by the Police Department against Von Meder charging him with obtaining money un- der' false pretenses from S. Schonewald, manager of the Del Monte Hotel at Mon- terey, where the. bogus baron feted the guests in the most extravagant manner. The complaint alleges that Von Meder obtained $700 under false pretenses from Schonewald. The prisoner had on his person when arrested a number of letters, which he was allowed to keep. One of them was | from a young woman in New Orleans, threatening him with trouble if he did ! not repay $160 he had obtained from her by fraudulent representations. This let- ter seemed to indicate that the “Baron’ —_— sl had enjoyed a career in the Crescent City, and the police are endeavoring to fin out how extensive.it was FLAMES SWEEP THROUGH FIELD Grain Fire Does Great Damage in Vicinity of Willows. Farm Buildings and Fences in Its Pathway Are Destroyed. -~ Special Dispatch to The Call. WILLOWS, July 2.—Fire was discov- ered under the combined harvester work- ing on the farm of Mrs. Pruitt late this afternoon, and, before it was got under control, it had destroyed grain, fences and buildings worth $9000. How the fire start- ed is a mystery, but when first discovered it was but a small blaze under the ma- chine. ‘When the machine was got out of dan- ger the blaze, fanned by a strong north wind, had jumped to the farm of F. Mc- Intyre. One hundred acres of stubble was burned and the farmhouse and barns were in great danger for some time. The fence around the house was devoured by the flames. The fire then jumped across the county road, burning a large bridge, and de- stroyed the standing barley on the Elliott farm. A large barn, holding 150 tons of hay, was burned, besides considerable fencing and several smaller buildings. All this time hundreds of men were fighting the fiames, but, despite their ef- forts, the fire swept across the Elliott place, jumped the railroad track and soon destroyed 200 acres of fine standing wheat owned by James Boyd. A large quantity of fence belonging to the railroad com- pany was razed. The flames were stopped by mowing down standing wheat, plowing over grain that had been cut and then backfiring. The heat was so intense that several men Wwere overcome, and it appeared at one time that the fire would sweep the entire surrounding country. ANGELS, July 23.—A timber fire started Just outside the town this afternoon, as the result of carelessness on the part of campers, who had been fishing in the neighborhood and failed to put out their fire on leaving the place. In a short time the flames E‘ained strong headway in lhe\ undergrowth and swept on toward _the | river. The pesthouse and three or four | residences were destroyed. The day was exceptionally hot, the thermometer regis- tering 116 degrees, and several of the fire- fighters were prostrated. The fire has destroyed width of from one-half td three-quarters of a mile. Early in the evening the blaze had traveled seven miles to a point be- | tween Natural Bridges and Parrotts Ferry, and it was belleved that it would not be checked until the river was reach- ed. The loss is estimated at $3000. GRASS VALLEY, July 23.—A report reached this city this evening that the country around Forest Springs, five miles south of here, is on fire.] Flames are sweeping through the woods, and, as the grass is dry and the underbrush like tin- der, they may cause great loss of prop- erty and pasturage. The sky in this neignborhood is overcast by smoke. timber for a Soapstone for Laboratory Desks.

A LETTER TO OUR READERS. NEW HAVEN, Addison Co., Vt. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. Gentlemen—About a year ago I was suffering from what I supposed was rheumatism. I became so bad that I could hardly get on my feet from a sitting position. I ran down in weight from one hundred and ninety-five to a hundred and forty-five pounds. I tried different kinds of medicine, but received little or no help. I saw Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root highly recommended for kidney trouble, but I never had any idea that my kidneys were affected. [ thought I would try a fifty-cent bottle of Swamp-Root and see what the effect would be. I commenced taking it ac- cording to directions and in a few days I saw that it was helping me. I used the fifty-cent bottle and then bought two more dollar bottles, and they com- pletely cured me. I have got back to my original weight, one hundred and ninety-five pounds, and I am a thor- ough advocate of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root. Very Truly, Feb. 17, 1902. WM. M. PARTCH. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, sent absolutely free by mail, also a book telling all about Swamp-Root.

CHARGED WITH DEATHS OF THREE CHILDREN Parents Who Refused Medical As- sistance Are Accused by a Cor- oner’s Jury. SPOKANE, July 23.—By the verdict of the Coroner’s jury Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Graham of this city caused the death of their three children bv criminal neglect. The inquest resulted in a verdict “that death was caused by diphtheria, and that the parents, George Graham and his wife, Rose Graham, are guilty of criminal nes- ligence for failing to employ or accest skilled medical assistance.” The jury rec- ommended that a State law be passed covering such offenses and fixing a pen- alty. Mr. and Mrs. Graham are members of the “Church of God” and do not believa in medicine, though surgery is permitted. A doctor was called too late and was allowed to lance the throats of the chil- dren, but not to give them antitoxine. Whether the parents will be prosecuted has not been determined.
