POISONED BY TOADSTOOLS.
The Little Son of Ex-POIicenan "A. G..
Capron Dies From Eating Them.

The Little Son of Ex-POIicenan a. G..
CaprOn Dies From Eating Them.
Otis. the infant son of ex-Police Officer
Capron, died last evening about s o'clock
from eating toadstools.
The little boy was about two and half
years old and had been playing around
the yard in the morning, but at just what
period he swallowed the poisonous fungi
is not known.
The first effects we're noticed about 1
o'clock. Mr.. Capron, thinking it slight
attack of indigestion, emptied the child's
stomach with an enc etc.
The child soon lapsed into unconscious
ness, however, the poison seemingly act
ing as a narcotic.
At o'clock DR. L. NJ. Powell was call
ed in and said that there was no hope
for saving the child's life. During the
afternoon a violent spell of vomiting
showed some particles of tOadstool. The
little one suffered no pain and was un-
conscious until the last moment, when
it murmured, Mamma, Use fallin',
fallin'."
DR.. Powell, assisted by DR.. Wehe, held
a post norton examination and found
the stomach greatly inAamed. Especially
were the smaller intestines enlarged and
perforated by the poison. There are
great numbers of these toadstools COM
ing up in various parts of the city since
the rains. They should be destroyed at

a woman artist in New York was most
artistically treated. Tt was painted a
dull green. The back and the lid of the
scat were upholstered in an effective
gold colored tapestry drawn over a pad
ding of hair and held down by gimp
and gilt nails, making a most artistic
seat, or table, as its use for either was
required. Another one was stained
green, and on the back and lid Of seat
was used natural toned burlap, with
stenciled griffins in dark brown as a
decoration.
These tables may be treated in vari-
Gus ways to suit their surroundings. 1t
is suggested in The Decorator and Fur
nisher that one stained the natural oak
and upholstered in green rep, turcoman,
corduroy, burlap or denim would be
most attractive, or for green substitute

with duh brass nails, making an effect

designs of blue and white, and one of

NET HER FATE AT LAST.

Steamer BawnmOre Wrecked After Escap-
nag Many At mpts to Destroy Her.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 29.-The steame
Bswnmore, which was wrecked yester
day near Marshfield, Ore, left Sac Fran
cisco two weeks ago with a tremendous
deck load. 1t was generally stated on
the water front that with such heavy
weight SO far from her keel, she could
not be safely handled in a storm.
The Bawnmore has had sensational
history since she came to this country.
The steamer was built in 1889 at Dunn
barton, and went into the freighting bust
ness between Liverpool and the River
Platte. She came to the Pacific coast
under charter to carry coal for John
Rosenfeld & Sons, and went to Nanaimo.
The steamer arrived in San Francisco for
the first time January 3, 1898. Soon af-
ter that Captain Woodside was involved
in labor troubles. At Nanaimo the sail
ors tried to kidnap some of the Bawn-
more's men. Captain Woodside went
after the kidnapers and lodged several
of the leaders in prison.
In June-of that year thirty pounds of
dynamite in valise was found in the
Bawnmore's hold. A cooked revolver
had been set so that the rolling of the
bessel was apt to discharge it, and with
it the dynamite. Scarcely had the Bawn-
more escaped this plot than more dyna-
mite was found in her hold
This second batch was discovered
while the steamer was at Nanaimo and
was turned over to the British Columbia
authorities. On Saturday the Sth of the
following July the Bawnmore went on
the rocks in fog, precisely as she did
this time. She struck near Point Gorda
on the Mendocino coast and came near

CAN'T CHARGE DOUBLE.
U. S. Oficiale in Western States Grumble
Beeause MILEAGE is Reduced.


WASHINGTON, Aug ga decision

that the statute allowing double fees to
United States marshal, district attorney
and clerks in the far western states and
territories of Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia. Wyoming. Montana, Idaho. North
and South Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona,
Utah and Nevada, did not apply TO
mileage, has caused much dissatisfaction
among those officials. Previous to the
decision, DOODLE mileage had been al
lowed, it being contended that it was
largely on account of the greatly in
creased cost of travelling in western
statea and territories that the law for
double fees was passed. The United
States marshal of Nevada has written
to prominet judicial officer of the
government that in his opinion mileage
comes under the head of fees and has
suggested that the matter be brought to
the attention of the departm ent of JUS
tice. This it is believed will be done.
Controller Bowler based his decision on
an opinion of the supreme court made
several months ago in a case involving
i, the maximum of fees to be allowed, the
court holding that mileage was not a
fee

er for fear that they may roll out of bed
as they frequently do, alas But a
writer in The Rural New Yorker comes
to the rescue with such very simple
continuance. He says:
If the bed be placed against the wall,
they cannot roll out on that side surely.
For the other side let light, thin strip
of board be made little longer than
the bed. This may be covered with cloth
if desired. At the head and foot let an
iron guard be screwed to the bed frame.
The strip of board slipped into this will
keep the little folks quite safe and save
much anxious care. Any blacksmith
can make such guard of three-eighths
inch round iron, and two screws will
not disfgure the wood materially. A
similar guard may be made Of hard
wood in the home workshop if pre-
feTred
