SAN Francisco, Aug. 20.-I. ia safe to
say that the uncertainty which hangs
over the eve of this state convention
was never before experienced in the
history of the Democratic party in CAL
ifornia. In fact unparalleled conditions
exist. The city 10 filled with delegates,
and the Palace. Grand and Baldwin
are Democratic beehives and present an
animated appearance. But withal there
is no evidence of boss or q slate; all 10
uncertain, chaotic.
For the head OF the ticket the fight
seems tonight to be between Budd and
Murphy, with the chances in favor Of
thelatter. English is making Murphy'a
fight, and Budd, the only candidate
who has headquarters, ID doing his own
campaigning. Pond is around. figuring
on Ostrom, and the names of McKinstry.
Temple, Hatch and Mcguire are only
mentioned, and that is all. Billy Foote,
on crutches, is hobbling around, and it
Budd wore not candidate, would ao-
cept the nomination II rendered him.
PERTINENT SUGGESTION.
Some interest was created when Nit
chell of Los Angeles suggested to patty
of delegates, which included Pond and
Del Vale, that the knot might be cut
by putting up the old ticket Of Pond and
Del Valle, 90 the old campaign banners
and literature could be pressed into ser
vice again, and would be good thing
for the campaign from an economical
standpoint. The proposition was not
secuted by the last leaders OF the state
Democracy, and the idea was enthusiasts
tically received. Perhaps this was be-
cause all are at sea and were looking Tor
anything to catch on to.
Del Vale is away ahead for the chair
manship. Clunie. Taylor OF Shasta and
Fitzgerald OF Alameda are in the race,
but hardly to stay. Del Valle says he
will be chairman, and as there is noth-
in n it but honor he will likely gr
W. kman says he is not q ca-s dcto

THE PATToN-MEssMoRE FIaT.
The congressional fight in the Sixth
district between Messmore and Patton
is creating more feeling and excitement
than the fight for governor. This morn
ing it looked like Kessmore tonight ID
ia not quite 80 much so. The Los Ange-
les delegation is split wide open. Pat
toms friends. led by the federal brigade,
and the would-be recruits to the
brigade, have tried to put the taint OF
the Southern Pacific on the Messmore
support. There is no foundation for
this, and the boys are mad and the
fight grows bitter. Patton and his
friends are working like good fellows,
and this will perhaps tell in the end.
But now it is all uncertain.
The Los Angeles delegation held
caucus tonight. Last was elected chair
man and Percival of Monrovia secretary
of the delegation. Del Vale was en-
dorsed for chairman.

SPRING "
The Best Season of the Year to
Treat Chronic Catdrrh.

Notwithstanding that a great num-
Der of people have been cured of chron-
ic catarrh by taking Pe-ru-na during
the past cold season, yet it cannot be
denied that the cold, wet, stormy win
ter has retarded many cures. But
springtime has come at last, and now is
the time for all catarrh suffers to begin
a systematic course of treatment for
this disease. The greatest difficulty in
the way of treating chronic catarrh is
that the patient is SO liable to catch
cold during the treatment, and hui de-
lay a cure. This liability at this sea-
son Of the year is,in a measure removed
and no one should neglect the oppor
tunity to begin treatment. Send for
free catarrh book.
As spring medicine Pe-rn-na is a
never-failing remedy. 1t cleanses the
blood through digestion, and gives tone
to the whole system by increasing the
nutritive value of the food. "Spring
fever, as it is sometimes called, which
produces a tired on. feeling, and inabil-
ity to do much mental or physical work,
is the result of a sluggish digestion, and
nc blood medicine will be Of any use
whatever unless it is able to rectify the
impaired digestion. The great popu-
larity that Pe-ru-na has is due to tie
fact that in all such cases it at once
corrects digestive arrangements and en-
riches the blood by purifying this very
important source Of hat vital fluid.

Color md Warmth.

The color Of materials has some in
duence ON the warmth Of the clothing.
Black and blue absorb heat freely from
without, but white and light shades of
yellow, etc., are far less absorbent.
This difference can be demonstrated by
experiment.. The same material, when
dyed with different %colors, will absorb
different amounts Of heat. In hot coun-
tries white coverings are universally
worn. and sailors and others wear white
clothing in hot weather.
With regard, however, to heat given
off from the body the color Of the ma
terials used az clothing makes little if
any difference. Red flannel is popu-
larly supposed to be warm, though it is
90 better in this respect than similar
materials Of equal substance, but white
,r gray in color. Dark clothing is best
tor cold weather, because it more freely
absorbs any heat that is obtainable.-

1~obogganins Down . Run ON Rocking
Horses to Decide . Wager.
There Is no knowing what an Eng
lish,nan will not do to decide a bet.
Men have jumped across dining tables,
mounted upon ~nntractable steeds-yea,
and eve kissed their own mothers-in-
iaw--in order to settle a wager. In fine.
it ought to be an established maxim
among us by this time that, given a GER
tain number of impossibilities and an
equal number Of young Englishrnen,
those impossibilities will not long re-
main such, provided they be made the
subjects of bets.
One Of those incidents which go q
long way toward justifying the reputa-
ton which as a nation of madmen we
have earned among foreigners occurred
at st. Moritz when. Sin order to settle
a bet" Lord William Manners and the
Hon. q. Gibson agreed to go down the
village run" mounted on rocking
horses in place Of. ordinary toboggans.
A feature of the race was that both
competitors were ..attired in full hunt
ing kit" and 81 elaborate preparations
had been made for the contest and ru-
NOR of the affair had been industriously
noised abroad the crowd which had as
sembled to witness it was both large
and distinguished.
The start was fixed for IL o'clock,
and shortly before that hour the shouts
Of the spectators announced that the
horses were of. Unlike the custom in
toboggan races. both started at the same
time. In the first course Lord William
Manners led as far as a certain angle Of
the run" called Casper's Corners, from
the fact that a hotel of that name is
situated close by. but taking it rather
high Mr.. Gibson passed ~cleyerly on the
inside, which he maintained to the fin
ish, Lord William being summarily
dismissed from his fractions steed's
back some distance to the bad from the
winning post.
In the second course Lord William
Manners again had the advantage as far
as CaspeT's Corners, where MI. Gibson
again tried to pass him on the inside,
but being jockeyed by his opponent his
horse swung round and proceeded down
the run tail foremost, but leading. The
merriment of the spectators at this
stage Of the proceedings may be more
easily imagined than described, nor did
it abate in the least when Mr.. Gibson,
dismounting, seized it unceremoniously
by the nose and turned it into the way
it should go.
Meanwhile Lord William Manners
had suffered disappointment a second
time, for in attempting to ''take"-to
use a true hunting term-a PARTICULARLY
awkward part of the ''run'' called Bel
vedere Corner his horse refused to re-
spond to its riders exertions to get it
successfully over the obstacle, and horse
and Jockey came down to the ground in
q tumultuous somersault together.
Lord Williams discontinue proved
to be Mr.. Gibson's opportunity. The
time and ground that the former had
lost by his involuntary fight through
the air were never recovered. Mr.. Glib
son, with the position of his horse re-
versed and his legs thrust scientifically
in front of him, rode easily and trium-
phantly forward and eventually reached
the winning post some seconds in adj
vance Of his opponent. Alpine Post.
