They say they do not believe. but they
like to know what is being said. They

Can they read the English paper? They
do not read it. although much that it has

mains terrible mystery TO the last.
But by dinE of repetition and large head

1t is the very few who read of course.
Having read they begin at once to draw
upon their swallowing region for long

LOST HIS WIFE.
Druggist j. c. Russell
Kills Himself.
A Fatal Dose of Morphine-He Was
Despondent When He Put an
End to His Existence.

Drink and despondency caused Druggist
j. Z. RUSSELL to commit suicide late Friday
night. Three days ago his wife left him
because he would not reform, saying thai
she would never return. She had made
many efforts to wean him from his in
temperate habits and did not leave him
until she was convinced that her entreaties
would never prevail. Russell spent the
days that came after her departure in
drinking to excess.
He was exceedingly despoDdent and on
the second day after his wife went away
tried TO blow out his brains. A friend
saw him and snatched the revolver just as
his trembling tiuger touched the trigger.
On Friday evening Russell left his store
at the corner of Geary and Leavenw worth
streets. taking with him a bottle Of NOR
phne. He went to his clearinghouse al
447 O'Farrell street, and told his laDdlady,
Mrs. Patterson, that he was going to COM
nit suicide.
"Do you think my wife will come to
look at my body In the Morguep" he
asked.
Mrs. Patterson tried to turn his mind
into another channel, but he would talk of
nothing but death and his absent wife
After making her promise that she would
attend his funeral he went to his room and
swallowed the contents of the bottle. A
few moments later with the vial and a
glass in his hand he passed downstairs and
entered the bedroom of couple who oc-
cupied the basement. he told them that
he had swallowed poison ami dashed the
bottle and glass on the floor. They
induced him to lie down and gave him
several cups of black coffee to drink while
they waited for the arrival of a physician
who was Immediately summoned.
Doctors Montgomery, Sprague and Estes
responded to the call and worked over the
druggist, who was unconscious when they
arrived. until 2:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, when the death of the patient ended
their labOrs.
Russell was interested with A. E. Hall
in the drugstore at Geary and Leaven-
worth streets and was considered a pros
porous business man. His body was not
taken to the Morgue, as the physicians
who attended him certified to the cause of
death.

FIDLER GETS SIX YEARS.
The Only One of Gang of Swindlers
Made tn Suffer-

John H. Fidler, who pleaded guilty re-
Gently TO the crime of obtaining money by
false pretenses, was sentenced by Judge
Daingerfeld yesterday to six years I'M
prisonment in San Quentin.
Fidler was one Of notorious gang OF
half-interest swindlers, among whom were
Guy S. Whitcombe. Tiedemann and Kerr.
The victim of this particular swindle was
one Peter G. Thompson, who came to
this city il search of employment. Tiede-
mann took him in hand. and told him that
he could get him job to look after some
horses for millionaire, and also 10 do
some collecting for the same party.
Thompson was told that he need give no
bond for his appointment in so far as
looking after the horses was concerned,
but for the collecting q bond of S100
would be required. Thompson agreed and
was forthwith introduced 20 Fider as the
millionaire j. Baker. to whom he gave his
500 deposit. Needless to say he never saw
his appointment, nor his 500, nor the con-
splrators again.
OF the tour swindlers Fidler was the
only one to suffer for his crime. Tiede-
mann. Kerr and Wbitcombe are all fugi-
tives from justice. Fidler hored to get off
with light sentence by pleading guilty,
but he will have plenty of time to repent
the error of his ways.

grams.
There was rejoicing among the Japanese
in San Francisco yesterday over kilograms
received from their native land.
''We received this dispatch to-day from
Yokohama" said 4. Sawaki of the San
Francisco News, one of the japanese
papers published in this city, when asked
if he had any special news to divulge.
1.-THE substance of the telegram" he
continued, lingering long slip of paper
written in Japanese characters, ''is that
on the 2Sth of July our troops won great
victory near Yashan. On the morning of
the 30th the Japanese troops marched into
YaShan and took the town. Two days
ago we saw in the dispatches that the
Chinese had defeated the Japanese near
YasEan. We doubted if that was true at
the time, for our army is better organ
lied than the Chinese one. l believe now
that the Chinese wanted to inspire the
belief that they were winning. and so
circulated false report. The American
people do not realize how strong our
soldiers really are, and how difficult it will
be Tor the Chinese to defeat it. We are
confident OF success with our forces"
Then the Japanese newspaper man
picked up the current number of his paper
and glancing it over observed: IF you
wish l will translate from an editorial on
the war. For long while the Chinese
Government has claimed sovereignty over
the Korea, consequently the Chinese Gov
eminent prevents Korea from being inde-
pendent Our Government has for long
been trying to make Korea a truly inde-
pendent country. 1t was that difference
Of feeling between China and Japan on
ths subject that brought bout The present
war. When the Korean rebellion took
place Japan was anxious for the safety of
her subjects there and sent an army to
protect our people.
''Our Government proposed to keep its
army in Korea till the Korean Govern
menr was strong enough to protect our
residents itself. 1t made five propositions
to the Koreans, asking them 10 reform
their system of government, employ en-
lightened officers, extend civilization and
free themselves of the claims of China.
These propositions were not acceded to
and war followed.

with Russia in some trouble Loko was en-

the Japanese counties now, as you call
