Thumler and Mrs. Young wrapped In heavy tarpaulin and welghted down with iron. | Their ‘ragic fate marks the end of a | brilliant career and the close of an un- wife in Thicago to mourn for a husband who had proved untrue. Otto M. Thum- |ler and the woman who had passed as | his wite were stricken with a strange dis- ease resembling yellow fever while on board the steamer St. Nicholas route from Brazil to Portugal. en their bodies were quickly prepared burial in the waters and were dropped into the sea together after a solemn scene on board and a prayer or two read |in Spanish by the ship’s captain. Otto M. Thumler was one of the most | popular traveling salesmen in the United States, representing a local firm. He left behind him his wife to stay alone in their apartments in this city until his contemplated return in December. But he did not go away alone. He took with him Mrs. Antoinette Young of San Fran- cisco, a young woman whose beauty and charms had fascinated him. i Mrs. Thumler in Chicago knew there was another woman who stood between them, but she did not know the full ex- tent of her husband's perfidy until there came an unsigned cablegram, dated at Lisbon, saying: “Otto Thumler and wife | died the same day on the St. Nicholas and were buried at sea.” The matter became public only when an application was made in the Cook County Probate Court for administration of the estate of Otto M.

PARDEE, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR 'GGVERNOR, ADDRESSING GREAT ASSEMBLAGE NEIGHBORS IN THE MACDONOUGH THEATER. OF HIS FRIENDS AND | { | | = R. GEORGE C. PARDEE, the Republican nominee for Gov- ernor of California, was the recipient of a heart-warming demonstration last night at the Macdonough Theater in Oakland. The outpouring of Republicans in honor of the standard-bearer of the party for the campaign’ of 1902 carried double effect in its enthusiasm and many evidences of genuine gratification that broke upon. the great audience and the hundreds of distinguished ‘men who, by their presence ' testified’ their loyalty to the Republican party and to the man who had been selected to head the victorious column. It was a State mecting, a first volley for the battle, a decisive outburst of party and of personal tribute, and more than all, it was a grand testimonfal to Dr. Par- dee from his home people, his friends and neighbors for forty years. “ No wonder that the central figure in this splendid affair was aglow with' pleasur- able emotions. He had attained a distin- guished place in the ranks of Republican- ism. He had won the prize that an honor- able and ‘a ' legitimate ambition - had pressed him foward. And as he faced that splendid audience, flanked by the big men of his party, with a frame syork of the cheering hundreds of nattily uni- formed paraders, there was enough in the scene to have impressed a much less im- pressionable man than the Republican candidatg for Governor. PRESAGE OF VICTORY. It was a Republican night for Repub- lican Alameda County. It was a right hearty welcome not only to the nominee but to the many Republicans from abroad who gathered to celebrate and to have part with Dr. Pardee in this first assem- blage of the campalgn. ‘Within the theater and without there was a warmth of sentiment which means, if signs do not fail, that .Alameda County will repeat her former victories for Re- publicanism and lead her sister counties very handsomely after the ballots have been counted in November. ! Tarly during the.evening the rockets | began to sizz and the many colored | bombs to explode as signal for the open- | ing of the night's demonstration. As the | trains arrived from San Francisco they | brought eminent men, party leaders and workers from many sections of the State. Committees from Oakland detailed to take care of the visitors escorted them to the Hotel Crellin, where they assem- bled in walting for the marching clubs which were to form the escort to the guests on the way to the theater. PARADE ON BROADWAY. Through Broadway the long line of car- riages was preceded by the two crack drill corps of Alameda County, by bands, and fireworks—men who contributed with music and with crackling explosives to | stir the throngs along the sidewalks to enthusiasm. The = Republican ‘Alliance, Colonel Varney Gaskill commanding, had | the right of line. They were 130 strong. | old rellables, with familiar uniforms that have been seen in many a Repub- | lican campaign. Their flambeau torches | shot streams of fire into the air, illumin- | ating the streets for blocks, and sharing | horors with the fiery rockets, bombs and | brilliant. lights which lent beauty to the picture. Marching In open order the full width of | the thoroughfare the escorting division | loomed in bright colors. Following the | ‘AMiance was the uniformed drill corps of the Young Men's Republican League, | Captain J. F. Kick _and Lieutenants | George Nickerson and Rathmell in- com- | mand. Strons in numbers, with their | flambeaux, they were on even terms with | ! the Alliance for display. Banners were plentiful, and at the head of the line George Colllus bore the Alliance globe, | the war emblem of Alameda County's | famous organization. The guests and the speakers were next in line in carriages. In the first vehicle was Dr. George C. Pardee, J. O. Hayes of San Jose, United States Senator George C. Perkins and Clarence Crowell, chair- | Ce HAS GIVEN APPRECIATE the great 13 responsibilities, the onerous duties and the multitudinous cares | that he whe assumes the robes of office must take up. And while I feel my own shortcomings and tremble for fear I may not be able to fll | the expectations of my gemer- ous friends, yet, if I should be chosen Governor of California I shall be Governor myself, and all my acts, be they good or bad, wise or foolish, will be { my own, free and untrammeled. | For mo man, mor set of men, shall ever be able to dictate a wingle act of mine, or com- | pel me to do one single thing | that to me does not seem just | and proper. For I am zlad and proud to say to you that the convention at Sacramento hon- | ored me with this nomination | without my having given to | any one a single pledge or promise of any kind, except a pledge to support the Repub- Hean platform and to give the people of this State, sho: they see fit to elect me Gov- ! ernor, as good an administra- tion of their affairs as lles in my power to give—and that pledge I shall keep as surely as I Hve. I, therefore, go before the peéple of California with clean hands, promising them the best that in me lies, and ®iving my allegiance to them and to them alone.”—From the speech of Dr. Pardee. —_—————— s man of the Alameda County Republican Committee.
