THE CHINESE COMPANIES.
IMPORTATION OF CHINESE pRosTI-
TUTES.
Officers Capture the women.


San FRANcIsco, September 90.
Yesterday two representatives Of the
Chinese Companies waited on Judge
Darwin, Assistant District Attorney, and
informed him they had learnedthat on the
steamer City Of Picking, due from China
and Japan, there were GO Chinese prosti-
tutes consigned to tho association known
among the Chinese by the name Of the
Three to One Company. This association
was some time ago broken up by the Chi
nese Companies and their nefarious trade
stopped, but recently they have reorgan-
lied and commenced n new business of inn
porting Chinese women for lewd purposes.
At the request Of representatives Of the
Companies, Judge Darwin referred tho
matter to the police authorities, and tllis
morning three officers we're sent down to
take charge of the women before they were
landed. Tn steamer arrived late last
night, and the passengers are now coming
ashore. TIL officers, with their prizes,
have not yet returned from the Mail dock.
The Chinese women, passengers by the
City Of Peking, about twenty-five in num-
Der, were taken to the City Hall on land
ing, where they all asserted they came here
of their own free will, and on the produc-
ton of certificates required by law from
the United States Consul at Hongkong,
they were set a. liberty and at once taken
to Chinatown.

The State Republican Convention, which
will meet at Eureka tomorrow, will be the
first thigh jinks" party Of the season. II
the carrying capacity of the Eureka rail-
road is equal to the occasion, there will be
such q motley crowd there as was never
before seen in Eureka. The simon-purc
delegates appointed by the Storey County
Republican Central Committee, with their
credentials signed and sealed in accord
ance with the time-h0nored custom, will be
there; the rump delegates, elected ON Sat
urday last by disaffected Republicans and
q Bonanza band of music, will be there,
with no credentials worth mentioning;
Sitting Bull, with his pockets full of prox-
les, will be there; and several representa-
tives OF the Bonanza firm, with checks on
the Nevada Bank signed in blank, will be
there e. Unless we are very much mistaken,
the occasion will be one without precedent
in the annals of this State. Another at
tempt will be made by the Bonanza firm to
..fx'' things to suit themselves. 1t will
be another case Of Bonanza against the
people. ''Once more unto the breach,

reputation as a prophet upon the PROPOSE

SAYS they will be Kinkead fer Governor,
and Daggett for Congress. A portion Of
the platform will read about as follows:
Whereas, the probable nominee of the
Democratic party for Governor will be a
man whom the people delight to honor,
and whereas, 1t would be a CHASTITY mockery
to put any prominent Republican against
him to be slaughtered; therefore, be it
resolved, that we tickle some third-rate
man with the nomination for Governor,
which will leave us free to concentrate our
whole strength during the campaign upon
our candidate for Congress and the Legis-
ture. This plank in the platform will
'leave the delegates to such easy procure
ment as this determination may involve

A Shooting Serape-Aa OIL Indian
Dreamer.
PORTLAND, Ogn., September 20.
A shooting ARRAY took place this after
noon, at the corner Of Stark and First
streets, between A. G. Mcdonald, manager
Of the Erening Telegram, and T. K. Mercer,
connected with the Daiiy Bee. A few
days ago an article appeared in the Bee re-
fecting very severely on Mcdonald and
his family. Mercer and Mcdonald met on
the street this afternoon, when the latter
asked the former il he was responsible for
the offensive article. Mercer replied that
he was. Some harsh language was in
dulged in by both parties. when Mercer,
who was standing with his hand in his
pocket, started to draw his pistol. Melon
aid, observing the movement, threw his
arms around Mercer, to prevent him from
using the weapon. A struggle ensued,
when both men fell, Mcdonald on top.
Mercer rose quickly to his feet and fired
four shots in rapid succession at McDon-
aid, who was still on his hands and knees.
Mercer then started to run, when McDon-
aid drew Q pistol from his pocket and fired
fcrr shots at him, none Of which took
effect. McDonald's injuries are considered
very dangerous, and slender hopes are en-
tertained for his recovery. Mercer was ar
rested and lodged in jail to await the result
OF McDonald's injuries. The affair occa-
stoned intense excitement.
A terrible accident occurred this morn
ing at Junction City. A widow, named
Pitney, well known in that section, was
fatally injured while passing around the
main shaft in I. A. Russell's warehouse.
Her shawl caught in the rapidly revolving
cylinder, and whirled her round with
frightful velocity, bruising and mangling
the poor woman in a terrible manner be.
fore she could be released. Her injuries
were sickening and she survived but q few
minutes.
A. G. Mcdonald, who was shot yesterday
afternoon by J.. X. Mercer died this morn
ing from the injuries.

A MISSING BROTHER.
Lost Somewhere ON She Pacific Coast
From the Virginia Chronicle.l

~. ~ teP
From the Virginia Chronicle.1
Mrs. Erwin l.. Farmer, of Outvillc,
Licking county, Ohio, is anxious to obtain
information of James A. Marshall, who
went TO California in 1910 with his father,
C. w. Marshall, and uncle, William Pin
ney. The sister Of the man wanted writes
to the Postmaster as follows: 1--WE heard
that father died, and brother, then a boy IA
years old, was at Red Bluff when we last
heard from him, which was in 1857. We
have not heard from him since. We think
him dead, but his poor mother can't give
her boy up. She thinks he did not get our
letters and became discouraged. We heard
from q person the other day that he was
living, but our informant couldn't say
where, but says the Spaniards are plentiful
where he is. This so excited my mother
that she begged me to write to San Fran
cisco, Sacramento and Virginia City to see
il we cannot obtain some information
in regard to him. She says if she
can only see her boy once more she will be
willing to die. If he is living and could
know she is living and hear her talk Of
him, / know he would come home. She
says q mothers love never dies. If we
knew how to advertise in the California
papers we would do so. We heard once
that brother was along the borders, but
don't know how to direct a letter SO that he
would get it. Now, Mr.. Postmaster, would
you inquire for him and find out, if pos.
sible, if he has been there? If you will
and find him, he is able and will amply pay
you, for l know he loves his mother, anc
would be overjoyed to know she is living
II you hear he is dead, please let us know
as it will satisfy his mother. If you viii
inquire n find out about him, God viii
bless you and o mother and sister vii
thank You. We are al living, but mother
cannot live long. Is there any way yor
could find mi il he is on the border? 1
you can or cannot, write anyway, SO that ]
can know il you get this. Oh l hope to
hear from you o I will write . descrip
ton Of him, and perhaps II you tack it nj
some one may see it that knows him. Pleas
don't lay this aside and neglect 1t, as you
can never know how anxious we are"

Jack, who passed through this place some
months ago, dressed in q grotesque man

A WestNoId, MassaOhusetts, Excitement.

Westfeld, Mass, Is considerably ex-
cited over an alleged case of poisoning,
Mrs. David Drake being suspected of
numbering her stepdaughter Eta,
young woman of II years. The latter
died on Friday ather brothers residence,
In Pochasslc street, where she had been
living for about four weeks, after leav-
ing her home, 1t is said, because she
feared for her life, her mothers actions
being strange and unaccountable.
Once the girl awoke in her sleep and
found Mrs. Drake bending over her,
while the air was filled with suspicious
odor of ether. AT another time, when
she heard her mother coming in the
night, she jumped out of window
without awaiting further developments
and fled to her brothers. house. Miss
Eta evidently had not had any poisons
given to her for four weeks, but some of
her friends think death resulted from
slow poison administered before she left
home. Her body was examined by
Medical Examiner Waterman and
several other physicians, who found no
cause for natural death, and the stomach
and other portions were removed for an
analysis.
Mrs. Drake, the suspected murderess
Is strong person, accused of opium
eating and fits of insanity, and is now
living with her third husband. Her
first and second husbands are said to
have died mysteriously, and son by
her first husband is reported to have
been found dead in bed, after retiring in
perfect health, the woman having learn
ed that his presence would be an OBJ
stacle to her second marriage.

A Queer Lawsuit.

In the Caharrus IN. C.) court singu-
lar lawsuit was recently brought. A
few months ago John M. Ingraham was
applied to for work by John Forst. He
told the applicant that he had nothing
for him to do, but he would give him
$4,000 for the hides of 5000 lizards
Ingraham giving the man his note for
that amount. Forst, with his wife and
five children, at one started for the
mountains. There they established
themselves in camp and began war
upon the reptiles. The result of their
first days effort was SO encouraging that
they worked with renewed energy, and
within twenty days had the 5000 lizard
hides. The family marched into town
last week and offered the reptile skins to
Ingraham, and were told that his offer
was only jest.
