Accord- ing to a divorce complaint filed by her yesterday within a month after she reached the Orient she found herself almost an outcast—the dupe of the man £ of | she had loved and trusted. Mrs. de Witt sues for severance of the marital ties on the ground that her husband was convicted of a felony. She alleges in the complaint that he was sentenced to serve a term of ten years | in prison. According to the complaint she was married to De Witt in the city of Ma- nila on January 3, 1903.

Stomach troubles are so common and in most cases so obstinate to cure that people are zut to 1 with suspicion any remedy claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi- gestion. Many such pride themselves on their acuteness in never being hum- bugged, especially in medicines. This fear of being humbuzzed can be too far, so far, in fact, that ed any people suffer for years with weak estion rather than risk a little time money in faithfuily testing the s made of a preparation so relia- and universally used as Stuart’s epsia Tablets, v Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are rent in one important re- ordinary proprietary medi- the reason that they are not t patent medicine; no secret is f their ingredients, but analysis thor; to contain the natural di- a ar b I nents, pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis- muth, istis and nux.

It was the State | f lifornia, and not any section of | | it, that the meeting stood for and the | orators advocated PROMOTION WORK. Sbarboro occupied the , and the object of the gathering | was pretty clearly set forth in his open- g addres He said: Gentlemen: have met here to- day for the purpose of co-operating in development of the inexhaustible arrowness We the resources of our great State. Our State is larger than the King- dom of Italy, which sustains 35,000,000, inhabitants. Our climate and soil, our ocean frontage, and in fact, the topog- raphy even of our State is greatly sim- ilar to that of Italy. We can therefore raise everything which is produced in that sunny land and we have in addi- tion a great many industries, such as mineral wealth, oil and an abundance of water, when properly developed, for irrigating our lands and furnishing mo- tive power for our manufacturers. “This promotion committee generous- ly maintained by the enterprising men and well wishers of our State, while ft | has not as yet been in existence two | vears, has done a remarkable ameunt | of good. It has disseminated the true facts of our eapabilities throughout {the world. To-day millions and mil- lions of people are reading about our country in all parts of the world. “At a recent meeting our eommittee | has added to its strength a number of representative citizens as an advisory committee. From you gentlemen here | assembled the committee expects to be informed of your wants in the different sections of the State and with the gen- | erous contributions of our members we are in hopes of baing able to assist you materially. “So sure as water seeks its level will California eventually fill up with mil- lions of people from less favored parts of the world. The question is whether we shall let that event come slowly by itself or by assisting it with such work as we are doing.to fill up the State in a comparatively short period of time.” CO-OPERATION THE WORD. Secretary Jennings then explained the purposes of the advisory board of the promotion committee, under whose auspices the co-operative movement had its inception. He said: “Mr. Chairman and members of the advisory committee: From its incep- tion it has been the aim of this com- mittee to foster a spirit of co-operation throughout the State of California. To say that complete success has attended the effort would be to paint the results |in rather too glowing colors. Much, prints from California papers. USEFUL FACTORS. “The railroads are @ great factor in the development of our State. The committee has been in close and con- ant touch with all of the railroads in- terested in California and from their officers received much advice of value and hearty co-operation at all times. “The Boards of Trade and improve- | ment clubs throughout California have | done and are doing great work for their sections. New organizations | have been formed during the past year, | and an increased activity and desire to do things are evident all about us. The committee Is complimented at the spirit displayed by all of these or- ganizations. They keép our headquar- | ters supplied with good literature and | in many ways are of great assistance. The committee on its side is constantly | referring inouirers to sections of the | State they may be interested in and the results of this method of operation show more effectively all the time. “The co-operation from the business and professicnal men oi San Francisco is of a very substantial kind. Money, that powerful factor, has been con- stantly with us and made it possible to carry on the work. This work has de- veloped and requires still more money which will be forthcoming. San Fran- ciscans take a deep interest because they realize that in upbuilding our State we upbuild our city.” FROM THE GOVERNOR. At the conclusion of the secretary's remarks the following letter from Gov- ernor Pardee was read: “Sacramento, Nov. 17, 1903. Rufus P. Jennings, executive officer California Promotion Committee—My Dear Sir: Answering your telegram of yesterday, I find that it will be, much to my re- gret, impracticable-for me to be pres- ent with you to-day. I need not say to you that I believe your committee has done, ig doing and will do good work in the building up of the State of California. The results you have al- ready accomplished remove any doubt as to that; and the earnestness of your efforts shas established you in the confidente of those who have watched your course. “There is no good reason why the State of California, north and south, should not advance with giant strides. Our climate, our soil and all, that God has given us proclaim our State the peer of any land on earth, And all that is needed to bring millions here where only tens of thousands now re- side is to make our material advant- ages known to all men, Your commit- tee, it seems to me, is doing and has done just what Northern California long has needed. “I hope that you will continue your good work. “Very truly yours, “GEORGE C. PARDEE.” SANTA FE IN LINE. The Governor's sentiments were heartily applauded and then W. R. Alburger, acting for W. A. Bissell of lan together in closer harmony and sym- pathy the various organizations that .are endeavoring to promote the devel- opment of the resources of their re- spective localities. It is nautral that the Santa Fe should help Califorma. because California has done much to help it.” HOW TO CO-OPERATE. Then came the reading of a letter from General Will S. Green of Colusa, representing the Sacramento Valley Development Association. The veter- worker for California’s progress wrote as follows: “It is very important that there should be full and complete co-opera- tion between the valley assoclation and your committee and 1 shall see to it that in the future we will be represent- ed at Your meetings. “'This valley has felt the effect of the work of these two organizations and the closer they work together the better the results for both. “Youwrask me for the best way to co- operate, and I cannot answer better than to copy Mr. Lincoln's celebrated resumption speech, ‘The best way to co-operate is to co-operate.’ We should be at every one of your meetings pre- pared to show that you have been do- ing us som2 good, and your committee should have a representative at our meetings, and each should ever be watchful of a place to be of service to the other.” Professor James A. Barr of Stockton, representing the San Joaquin Commer- clal Associatlon, sent regrets that sick- ness in his family prevented his at- tendance at the meeting. .“ENOCKS’” THE “KNOCKERS.” R. P. Lathrop of Hollister, represent- ing the Caiifornia Central Counties Im- provement Club, had this to say about the “knockers:”" “It is important that every care| should be taken for one district not to injure another by pulling the other district down to build up your own. This ‘knocking’ has done more to injure Central and Northern Califor- nia than any other one thing. An in- vestor comes Into one of our coast counties. The local parties have much to say in bekalf of their locality. This is legitimate and to be expected, hut incidentally theéy make comparisons and run down Northern California dis- tricts. This is entirely wrong, uncalled for, unjust, short-sighted and is a death blow to co-operation. The man being among strangers is on the alert and naturally skeptical. He becom:s suspicious and goes to Northern Cali- fornia to investigate for himself, only to learn that they in turn are knocking the Central Coast counties. What is the result? He becomes disgusted and quietly goes to Southern California, where they have studied the art or en- tertaining and interesting the investor,, where they work under a system, where they co-operate and where they pull together; they are a ‘unit. “By-co-operation let us induce desir- able Eastern people to come and sec for themselves. Let every district the Santa Fe, was called upon to state the attitude of that corporation to- ward the question of co-operation. Mr. Alburger did not say very much, but his words were well chosen and direct- iy to the point. sound the praise# of their own locality, and work with-a will for it. But if they cannot say a good word about the oth- er districts let them keep silent. Silence is golden, many times. “It is not so much which section fills ! McCormick of the Southern Pacific, had this to say: It is not out of place to remand you that the Southern Pacific has long been in the fleld. We are in the business of promotion as a matter of necessity. The interests of a great railroad and a great State are mutual interests. One wants traffic, the other wants popula- tion. One seeks passengers and freight, the other the occupation of its lands and the development of its resources. A raflroad therefore serves the State, its policy is far-sighted, its plans broad and far.-reaching, when to the superficial-minded it seems but to serve its own interests. “We appreciate the work of counties and clubs, of Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce and women's clubs. We are glad to have the mes- sage we have been preaching for so ing in wealth and population. The Eu- | reka Chamber of Commerce h: done | much to advertise our resources and | bring in desirable settlers. I have heard that within the last thirty months the | population of San Francisco has in- | creased at the ratio of 25 per cent. ! Well, the same can truthfully be said | of Humboldt County. The people are, preceding the railroads, and, as a mat- ter of course, where the people are the railroads will follow. “We are all in favor of co-operation |in this matter of promoting Califor- | nia's interests. We know that the| gain of one section of the State is the gain of all.” FILLING WASTE PLACES. George W. McNear told of the rapidity” with which the waste places of the San Joaquin Valley are being filled up with | homemakers. One of his agents in-| long taken up by so many voices. The formed Mr. McNear that forty Austrian | families had recently established a col- ony and gone tg farming, taking up and dividing a I area of land that for years had been devoted to grain raising. The Promotion Committee's work is bring any people to the valley, Mr. McNear said, and the large land tracts are gradually being cut up into small farms. He, too, contributed his mite of advocacy to the co-opera- tion plan. Fred J. Koster spoke of the inteili- gent and indefatigable work of the Promotion Committee’s executive staif, and predicted still richer returns from it as its usefulness increases with age and experience. This exhausted the programme, and President Sharboro thanked the gentie- men present for their attendanee, their arguments and their atten @ The ex H H ® Doan’s Kidney Pills.
