1t Will Attempt to Concentrate the
Co1ored Vote Next Election.

CO1Ored Vote Next Election.
The Afro-Americans of California are
about TO make an effort at organization.
They want to present solid front during
the next election and so win for themselves
some recognition from one or the other of
the great political parties. A meeting of
to be opened next Tuesday, and in its re-
port the committee on statistics among
other things will say:
California is a close political State, nomi-
nally Republican with an average ma jority
for the Republican ticket of about 1000. If
the correct census of the negro inhabitants
showed that there were 5000 or more colored
votes in this State some smart BLACK n. man
would organize the black vote and tell them
they held the balance OF power between the
two great parties. But, on the contrary, II the
census shows the black vote to be less than the
Republican or Democratic majority, that
eliminates the negro from being an important
factor in the election, and gives the politician
the opportunity to say "There are such few
OF you that we can't give you much representa-
tibn' This is the reason why Statist1clan
Porter has not found more colored people in
all OF the close Northern States.
The report then goes on to prove that
there are 1900 Afro American voters IN
San Francisco alone and at least 9oOO IN
the entire State. In this City 1t is shown

saloons, one laundry one hotel, one stove
store and one catering establishment,
the total value of all being placed at
sac, $50. The value of the real estate
owned by Afro-Americans, however, is
estimated at $450,000.
The object of next weeks conference Is
an effort to elevate the colored race, and
the promoters are going to use all legitl-
mate means to obtain their ends.

Carpenters Are Strengthening the Union
to Withstand Opposition.
Some time in the near future the union
carpenters of San Francisco intend making
peremptory demand on their employers
for an increase in wages. which they claim
have been decreasing and without just
cause for several years past.
The success with which they met when
they demanded eight hours as days
labor has encouraged them to think of
making this second demand. In anticipa-

LAST IF QUANTRELL'S MEN  Survivors of the Worlds Most Famous Guerrilla Band. WHO AND WHERE THEY ARE. The Son of One of Quantrel's Lieutenants Writes of Them-Some Thrilling Ex-
 perienccs Related.

To write the history of Quantrell and the men who fought with him in the tumultuous days from 1861 to 1865 would be to write a history of the civil war in Missouri. The events surrounding the career of the guerrilla chief and his men are so interlaced with those of which history has taken greater account that it would be difficult to write of one with out dealing with the other.
 Opinions differ yet as to the character of Quantrell. Fighting under a black flag, refusing to ask or grant quarter, he has been regarded by many as a human beast who killed for the love of slaughter, and who was simply one of those mon sters who are cast up by the wars of all rebellons In the eyes of his friends he was patriot who gave his life as a gal lant defender of his native south.
 Whatever estimate the world may place upon him the fact remains that he was the central figure of the greatest guerrilla organization the western world has ever seen George Tod owed pri- mary allegiance to him, and so did Fer nando Scott. William Haller. Bill An derson, Dave Pool, Coleman Younger, George Maddox, William Gregg, John Jarette, Ol Shepherd, John Thrailkill, the James brothers--Jesse and Frank ana hundred others WnO rOue With nm to battle.
 Of them all score. perhaps. remains. Tod, Anderson, Scott, Maddox and Shep- herd are dead Those who live are scat tered through the west. Nearly all are prosperous citizens, living lives of quiet industry, honored and respected by their neighbors.
 Among the survivors. aside from Frank James and Coleman Younger, Dave Pool is probably the best known. He lives to- day at Phenx, Ariz.. where he conducts a freighting business and where he has the friendship and confidence of all who know him.
 Pool was the man who succeeded to the command of the guerrillas under Shelby when George Tod was killed in of the Second Colorado at Independence in October, 1863.
 The separation of Tod and Quantrell had marked the beginning of the end of guerrilla warfare. The former, a man of fearless independence so far as his opinions were concerned, had quarreled with Quantrell over the proposed Law renee raid. Tod denounced it as inhu- man to make war on women and chill dren, and the upshot of 1t was that he left Quantrell, taking with him the major portion of the command. This is dis puted by some, but from letters in the possession of my mother l know that George Tod was not at Lawrence. One of the last letters he ever wrote was dated a few days subsequent to the Lawrence raid and in it he stated with great positiveness that he was not with Quantrell. ast4

zELLA WILL BE \ STAR
She Will First Enjoy a Trip With
 GouId'S $10,000.
RUHMAN HAS THE BUNDLE
The True Story of the s4o,000 Check Will Never Be Known to the Inquisitiye
 Public.

Zella the irresistible, woful and noto- riety-loving one, is at last happy, says the New York Mercury. If she is not she should be, for with $1O,Ooo. of the Gould fortune to use as a balm for her wounded feelings (to say nothing of the fun that she and her husband, "AI' Ruh- man, can have with it), the satisfaction
 of having brought Millionaire George Gould to terms, and the anticipation of her debut as a melodramatic star, why should not be happy?
 No longer will Zella be forced to hie away to Europe under an assumed name. and no longer will the young millionaire be harassed.
 Instead, Zella and her husband will climb the Rockies and explore that DOT ton of the wild and woolly west where Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt once did duty as a COW puncher. The bracing western air will bring back the bloom to the cheeks of Zella and make them as rosy as they were before she and her hus- band moved to smoky Jersey City in or der to gain residence in the state where George Gould resides
 The millionaire has bought peace for the sum of $10000 and the cost of the suit that Zella brought to recover the value of the famous $40,000 check, and the suit will not come up in court for settlement. The terms of the settlement were made just one day too late for Zella to offer up a Thanksgiving Day praise for the windfall, but the cash was not paid over to Zella until yesterday.
 All was excitement in the office of
 Lawyer Alexander Simpson of Jersey
 City yesterday. The attorney had s10,000
 in bright, crisp bills in his possession, and in his safe was the neat little bun dle'' that he had received as counsel fees. He was happy-very happy-for he had won a suit that would keep his name in the public mind for some time and bly, bring him additional clients who are desirous of "mulcting" millionaires.
 Even Mr. Simpsons office boy was happy, but there were others. The oth- CTS were Zella and her husband, MT. Ruhman, who came to the office early in the morning. A conference was held and when MT. and Mrs. Ruhman left the of flee "Al's' trousers pocket looked as if a vicious mule had kicked until a swelling had resulted.
 Neither Zella, her husband nor MT. Simpson would talk MT. Ruhman sim ply said that he and his wife would st -rt for the Rockies tomorrow.
 An announcement, coming from a re- liable source, to the effect that Zella would soon make her appearance as the star Tn a new melodrama has been made. It is said that a well-known playwright is writing play around the facts in the celebrated suit and that the production will be brought out next spring. Zella has already made her appearance in bur lesque, but was unsuccessful. reporter interviewed Zella Nicolaus last night regarding the settlement of

An Illustrated Medical Book of Sixty-four
 Pages.

Pages.
 Chronic catarrh is a disease so fright fully common, so dreadful in it's conse- auences and so difficult to cure that it is no wonder the medical profession is mak- ing frantic efforts to check this ravage. Foremost among the writers on chronic catarrh is pr. Hartman of Columbus, O. The doctor writes for the people and not for the profession only. Many of the books written by pr. Hartman are for sale, but he also writes many for free distribution to the afflicted only. His latest free book on chronic catarrh is very instructively illustrated and has sixty-four pages of interesting informa- ton on catarrh, coughs, colds, la grippe and other diseases of winter. Sent free to any address.
 The medicine upon which pr. Hartman chiefly relies to cure catarrh is Pe-ru-na. He has used this remedy for the treat ment of catarrh for nearly forty years. There can be no doubt that Pe-ru-na is the greatest catarrh remedy of the age. Pe-ru-na cures permanently.
 Catching cold which Is the bane of this season, and is the starting point of all catarrhal diseases, can be prevented by taking Pe-ru-na at the first symptom or exposure. If you cough, or sneeze, or hawk, or wheeze, or snuffle, you ought to take Pe-ru-na; it is sure to save you much suffering and exposure, if not in- deed your life. Letters answered free.

 "A settlement has been made by MT.

Intend to study harder than ever to become an actress. Melodrama is what I like. I'll star in some play, provided I can get somebody to write suitable one for me. Some of the newspapers roasted me unmercifully when I made my debut as an actress They should have been more patient with me. The news papers have also taken my character away from me--the dearest thing young girl can have"
 At this point Miss Nicolaus began weeping but she quickly recovered her self-eontrol Continuing, she said:
