A Young Girl Commits Suicide at Los
Angeles by Swallowing Carbolic
ACid-A Civil Engineer Killed In
Duel With a Mine Foreman in
British Columbia.

STOCKTON, Oct. 2S.-The advent Of
Thomas b. Reed into the Gateway Oh
the San Joaquin Valley marked the
scene of a great political demonstration
tonight. Trains were run from Sacra-
mento, Fresno, Merced and Los Banos,
and a great number Of excursionlsts
from those places and points along the
way came to see and hear the Speaker
of the House.
The train which bore Mr.. Reed ar
rived in Stockton at 1:10 p. m. With
him was party, including SeVeral
prominent persOnages. A delegation,
natives of the Pine Tree State, wearing
badges suitably inscribed, met MI.
Reed at the depot and escorted MN 10
the Imperial Hotel, a block away, Wnere
many called to see the noted Vlsltor'
among them being some of his old pu-
pills when he taught school here In Ioo4.
At about 3 O'Clock Mr.. Reed ana
party went a short way down the san
Joaquin River on the steamer cara
Crow, and returning was driven about
the city. Mr.. Reeds daughter Kitty was
a. constant companion of her father dur
ing his sightseeing at his old home.
In the early evening a procession was
the attraction. The parade was not as
large as had been expected. Never
theless, the procession was of no small
proportions AS the man from Maine
passed in review before the vast crowds
which lined Main street, he was greeted
with cheer after cheer. Red hre ana
skyrockets illuminated the arch, While
bands rent the air with music, and TIN
horns added to the din.
After the procession there was iran
tic rush to the Pavilion, where MI.
Reed spoke. A great platform had been
built at the west end to accommodate
the especially invited guests. For halt
an hour a stream of humanity poured
into the vast building until it could hold
no more. Fully 10000 people heard the
Speakers address, and thousands were
obliged to go away, being unable to Sc
cure admission.
Superior Judge Smith acted as Chair
man Of the evening, and the introduce
ton of Mr.. Reed was the signal Tor
deafenfng and prolonged applause.
When it had fully subsided he began MS
address. which lasted for three-quarters
of an hour, and was interrupted many
times by continued applause.
In substance Mr.. Reeds speech was
about the same as his Los Angeles ad-
dress.
The Maine statesman leaves here IN
the morning for San Jose.

AT CHICAGO HEADQUARTERS.
CHICAGO, Oct 2S.-Campaign Chair
man Campau to-day received telegraph
reports from the following States:
Alabama-The Democratic Electoral
ticket will receive not less than $4,000
majority. The nine Democratic Con-
gressional candidates will be elected by
majorities ranging from 800 to 1000.
Pennsylvania-Penn is max
ing a great battle, and is not surely Re
publican. Great silver gains are re-
ported from all the agricultural coun-
ties, and our mining counties are fairly
ablaze with enthusiasm. Whereas, we
have now but two congressman, we
expect to return ten or twelve 70 help
President Bryan carry out his proposed
reforms.
Kentucky-The drift has been our
way ever since the Chicago Convention
1t is stronger to-day than at any time
previous. We will win by majority
that promises to reach 10000
New Hampshire-The Bryan and
Sewall ticket is gaining strength fast
in New Hampshire. Wherever our
speakers go we hear of many converts
and we shall carry towns that never
were Democratic before. The result in
beth our Congressional Districts is very
doubtful, and the chances are more
than even for the election Of the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor The
Republican claim of 10000 to 10000 in
each Congressional District is absurd
They are making a most desperate
struggle to save them. The Palmer and
Buckner vote will be so small it is not
