PORTLAND, Or. Nov. 2S-Mrs. Edna
Crowley of Red Bluff, Cal, committed
suicide in Templeton lodging-house in
this city at an early hour this morning by
swallowing bottleful of laudanum. The
woman had been an inmate OF dance
house for several months past, and was
variously known as Edna Wallace, Edna
Ripman and under other names. She was
person OF considerable education, hay-
ing been educated at Santa Clara. Cal
Her home was in Red Bluff, and there she
was married eleven years ago TO a man
named Crowley.
The pair did not live happily, and after
child was born to them they separated
Last night the woman returned 10 her
loom in company with steamboat man
who had known her long. She had been
i'll for some time, and on reaching this
room complained not only of the main
that she was enGurinr, but also expressed
extreme grief and dependency over the
possible fate OF her child should anythin O
serious occur to herself. Suddenly sprino.

don't care, she seized the bottle of lauda-
mum and before her companion could stav
her nand she had swallowed the entire
contents.

Danger That Moves Near.
"Consumptive! Wasting awayI Losing

These are all different ways of describ-
ing one great form of weakness from which
thousands of women are suffering. Thew
are nervous, thin-faced women who lack
brig ghtness, vivaoity, and seem to be con-
tinually, weak, exhausted and worn out.
They are usually sallow, dyspeptie and
never have fresh, healthy color. MANY
of them realize that they are in danger of
contracting quick consumption and would
gladly learn how to gain increased vigor
health and strength. 1t is for the benefit
of such women that the following wolds
have peen specially printed:
Mrs. M. Neeson, 272 11th St., Brooklyn.
n. Y. writes: ''By the use of Duffy's pure
malt whiskey I have gained increased
health and strength, and to-day am feel
1t is an excellent preparation and can
strongly recommend II.
Thousands of opinions similar to the
above have been constantly received from
ladies whose health has been restored and
whose lives have been saved by this great
stimulant. Their words prove beyond
question that Duffy's pure malt whiskey
cannot be equaled. Nothing so speedily
creates a healthy appetite. tones up the
digestive organs and purifies the blood.
It gives strength and nourishment when
everything else fails. All grocers and
druggists keep Duffy's, but care should be
taken to get the genuine.

ENDS LIFE ON THE DESERT.
Suicide of Weary Traveller Near Yuma
BY Jumping into the Colorado
River

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Nov. 23.-Joe Carter.
the weil-known trapper and guide of the
Colorado desert, was on his way to Yuma
last Friday from Hall Hanlon's, south
west of that place, when. on rounding q
pile of powders on the road, he was horri-
fed to see man short distance ahead
with only his back visible bending over
and hacking at his throat with q short
knife. Blood was streaming down over
his wrist TO the ground. The stranger ap-
peared to be about feet inches in height,
OF dark complexion and with dark m u.s.
tache. Jagged rents were visible at the
side OF his throat.
Carter hurried forward and drew his re-
volver with the words. drop that knife,
or I'll put hole through YOU" The man
looked up in a daEed manner, and an
effort on his part to speak resulted IN only
rasping noise that was unintelligibIe.
Carter hurried to the cyanide plant of Mr..
Luce, and securing the assistance of Luce's
son they returned as fast as possible TO
the spot where the would-be suicide had
been lett. He was not to be seen, how.
ever, and the closest search in the vicinity
failed TO disclose his whereabouts.
Carter and three Indian traiiers spent
the greater part of the remainder OF the
day searching for the man, but although
his tracks could be traced in the imme-
diate vicinity, as they led here and there
in a zigZag manner. the man could not be
found. The only solution of his remarka-
BILE disappearance was that the man
jumped into the Colorado River a short
distance away, and thus ended an exist
ence that was evidently irksome. A man
answering the description of the one
seen by Carter was seen the previous day
at the Lagr ranch, below Yuma. No clew
to his identity can be given.

ventlon was referred to the executive COM
mittee. The Hawaiian Islands, Mexico,
Oregon and the East remain in doubtful
state as regard choice.
In the evening an informal reception
was rendered to the association at the
Bernard House, at which many OF the
heads of the Navy Department were pres
ent. An orchestra of seventeen pieces
supplied the music, and a bounteous re-
past was served. 1t was a happy affaIr
and owed its success largely TO the efforts
OF w. ID. Peunycook. editor of the Vallejo
Chronicle. The star performer of the oc-
casion was Robert Y. Robertson, editor of
the Placerville Nugget.
An invitation has been extended the
association to view the sights of the navy
yard by Admiral w. A. Kirkland, and a
trip will be taken to the station to-day.

these was resolution to declare the tenn
porary officers permanent; another the
election of vice chairman and assistant
secretary, and a finance committee to
consist OF three mem bers, and a recon-
meHdation that the convention be de-
clared permanent fixture, TO convene
every two years, with an appropriate act
to be drafted and presented to the coming
Legislature. making it incum bent that all
Assessors attend the convention.
1t was also recommended that three
committees be appointed, one on banks
and banking, to be empowered to inquire
and report on the subject of assessing
national banks stock. This committee
will also probably recommend that all
State banks be required to make out a
statement of their assets and liabilities on
the 1st of March, and forward a copy to
the Assessors as well as to the Bank Com
missioners.
The second committee is to be known.as
the revision committee, and the third as
the new legislation committee.
1t was agreed that all of these resolu-
tions be submitted to the convention in
writing, and after lengthy discussions on
various subjects the committee adjourned.

FREsNOs JUDICIAL MIx-Up.
Doubt as to Whether Judge ChurcJ
Really Holds Office

Douot as to Whether Judge Church
Really Holds Office.
FRESNO, CAL, Nov. 23.-George E..
Church, who was elected without OPPOSE
ton at the recent election to serve the un-
expired term of Superior Judge S. A.
Holmes, deceased, qualified to-day and
will open court tomorrow morning.
Judge Stanton L. Carter, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Markham nearly two
years ago upon the death of Judge Holmes
to serve until successor could be elected
stepped down and out TO give way to
Judge Church. Judge Church will have
only five weeks 20 serve, however, as the
term of the judgeship expires in January
and the last Legislature passed an act
abolishiIg 1t at that time.
There are some-among them judge
Carter-who think that when Mr.. Church
qualified for the judgeship it was abol.
lshed according to the act passed by the
Legislature. The law reads that which
ever of the three courts of which the
term shall first expire shall be abolished.
1t is claimed that when Judge Carter's
term expired, which was upon the ouaIi-
fication OF Mr.. Church, the judgeship was
therefore abolished.
In order that no complications might
result Judge Carter transferred all the
cases before him to the other two depart-
ments, so that Judge Church would have
no business. 1t is said that the personal
feeling existing between the two men was
IN great part the cause of these transfers.
This afternoon Judge Rislsy transferred d
one OF his cases to Judge Church's court.

FRESNO c0UNTY'S GAIN.
Promised Development of Vast Lumber
Interests BY Michigan Syn
dicnfo

FRESNO, CAL, Nov. 23-One of the re-
suits of the election OF Mckinley will, in
all probability. be the-early beginning OF
operations by the Michigan syndicate
which has vast lumber interests on the
North Fork, Whisky Creek and Rock
Creek. in the mountains of this county.
Over four years ago the syndicate started
In to develop that region, but the election
OF Cleveland resulted in the sudden
abandonment OF all development work.
1t was stated several months ago by a
person interested in the enterprise that if
Mckinley was elected it would not be
long before the syndicate resumed opera
tions, and those who heard the remark
are waiting confidently for the syndicate
to make good its promise. There is no
doubt but that it will do so. and the i'm
portaree OF it to Fresno can hardly be told
There are no finer forests of sugar pine
anywhere in the country than are to be
found in the 5000 acres of tim Der land
owned by the syndicate on the north fork
OF the San Joaquin, and the development
OF that region will open what those who
have visited 1t term sportsman's para
disc. The hunting and fishing are said
TO be unexcelled, and it will probably not
be long before a summer resort is estab-
lished in the neig hborhood
1t is part of the plans of the syndicate
to establish its mills in Fresno, connecting
them with the logging camp by means of
an electric railway. The advantage of
having the mills located in this city is
that the company can in that event dis
pose OF the great amount of refuse of such
large concern, Slabs could be worked
into boxes, pickets and laths, and the saw
dust could also be disposed of protitably.
The railway would be from fifty to sixty
miles in length and the syndicate could
either develop its own power or obtain it
from the San Joaquin Electric Company.
Some of the wealthiest men OF the coun-
try are interested in the syndicate, among
them being General Alger. But while
wealthy they are not the kind OF men who
are willing TO endeavor TO promote enter
prises under q disadvantage, which ac-
counts for their suspending work under
the Cleveland regime. With good pro-
tective tariff, however they could we'll af-
ford to carry out their early plans.
The prosecution of the gigantic enter
prise will give work to hundreds of men
and add materially to the wealth of the
county:
