SOME years ago DR.. j. Milton
Bowers was charged with the causing
the death of his wife by slowly poison
ing her. He was convicted Of murder,
and sentenced to be hanged. He ap-
pealed 10 the buprsme Court, and
pending decision from that tribunal,
Benhayon, his wife's brother was found
dead in Geary street lodging house
from dose Of cyanide, which the
friends of Bowers alleged was admins.
tered by his own hand, but which Ben.
hayon's people claimed was given him
by friends Of Bowers. A man named
Dimmig, who doubtless knows which
of the theories Is correct, decided to
keep silent, and upon the strength Of
what purported to have been con.
fsssion written by Benhayon that he,
not Bowers, poisoned his sister,
Bowers was granted a new trial, and
the charge Of murder against him was
dismissed.
Bowers wife was Insured in the Or
der of Chosen Friends, but that Order
refused to pay the insurance on the
ground that Bowers caused the death
of his wife. Bowers, when released
brought suit against the Order for the
amount named in the beneficiary certi-
ficate, and now stipulation has been
filed in the Superior Court, whereby,
in consideration Of full satisfacti On OF
payment of the amount sued for, the
case has been dismissed.
This ends one OF the most remark
able cases in the annals of the Ban
Francisco Courts, ON which doubtless
DINING could shed much light if so
disposed.

The question of appointing matrons
for police stations is receiving great
deal of attention now, and much pres
sure is being sxerted upon the author
tiles 10 accomplish this needed reform.
The fact that during the past year
nearly seventy thousand women were
compelled to take refuge in the police
stations rs dodgers is sufficient TO show
how important the subject is. These
women were not guilty of crime or
misdemeanor yet they were relocated
to the sole care of men, without being
afforded the common eourtesies Of de,
csncy. But even the guilty ones are
entitled to some consideration and it is
simply disgraceful that they are not
attended by members Of their own sex.
Separate lodging houses are also being
urgently advocated, and if the agitation
is kept up 10th reforms will no doubt
soon I've attained.

How to Break up a Severe Cold.
The Virginia City, Montana, Madi.
soniaa says: When we find medicine
we know to possess genuine merit, we
consider it duty. and we take pleas.
ure in telling the public what it is.
Such medicine we found Cham Der.
lain's Cough Remedy. By the use of
this syrup we have relieved, in few
hours, severe colds, and in the course
OF two or three days, entirely broken
them up as have several of our friends
to whom we have recommended it. 1t
is all it is represented TO be by the
manufacturers. If you have cough
and want to stop it, Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy will do the work. For

W0Iker Lake Bulletin.

In our local columns will be found
an account of citizens nesting held
last Thursday night, to discuss the In
dian situation in this vicinity and to
consider what could be done 10 prevent
an outbreak, or failing in that, to make
ssms provision for the protection of
life and property should the Indians
begin hostilities.
In common with all who are famil.
lar with the situation, the BULLETIN
has for years urged the establishment
at Hawthorne Of United States mill
tary post Our town joins the Walker
Lake Reservation, where at all times
there are several hundred Indians The
Rhosbones from the eastern part of the
State have but to cross range of hills
to be Ia our midst. Owens Valley
joins US on the south, and the red man
there can be slgnalled from our noun
tain peaks There are many Piutes in
Bodie, Aurora, Candclaria, and Rhodes
Marsh, all OF whom must fight should
tho order go forth. Hence 1t will be
seen that our petition for military
post is entitled to consideration, and
we earnestly ask that our representa-
tivss urge upon the War Department
the justice OF sending inspectors to
this point to investigate the situation,
One company OF one hundred men es-
tablished here would not bankrupt the
Government, and might be the means
Of saying many lives and much prop
srty.

The Summers Deficiency of Heat.

New York Herald Editorlall
The solar fires will need to be replenished
little with fuel if the August sun is to
make up the temperature delinquencies OF
July in the United States. Tho Govern
ment weather crop bulletin for the week
and month ending July 3lst ultimo. states
that July has been cooler than usual in
all districts east of the Rocky Mountains"
But il would be premature to conclude
that the summers backboneis broken. The
past months mean temperature here was
II degrees, the lowest mean III July since
1894. when il was 20 degrees. But the
positively cool July Of 1884 was followed
by some very warm weather, and the en-
suing September was on the average 3.3
degrees warmer than that month usually IS
throughout this section, with maximum
of ~ degrees in this city. The autumn
temperature of 1884 was generally above
the normal in most OF the Atlantic States.
