THE CONTACT WITH ANY ROUGH
obstruction-the slightest jolt-is injuri-
Gus to the rider of a wheel. 1t disturbs
the internal organs, jars the nerve centers
of the spine, strains the kidneys and vital
organs and induces general weakness. All
old riders speak of this weakness, which
can and should be guarded against. Give
strength to the nerves and muscles Of the
back and help them to stand the strain.
Make them elastic and vigorous. An even.
steady current of electricity, infused into
them daily, will do it. 1t will prepare Won
for the severest strain.
DR.. SANDEN'S ELECTRIC BELT is
particularly beneficial to wheel-riders. It
numbers thousands of them among its
cures. Giving It's force direct to the neryo-
muscular center it carries life and activity
to every muscle which is affected by
riding. 1t will cure majority of the COM
plants resulting from indiscretion on the
wheel.
81 was troubled with pain in nv back for
over year, and your Electric Belt has cured
me-" says w. ]. Rowe, 22l7 Clarkson street.

Call and examine and make test of
this wonderful Belt, free of charge. Its
power is surprising. Read the book,

Door and Is Shot in
His Tracks.
ASSASSIN BENT ON ROBBERY
Believed to Have Planned the Killing
to Secure Money Belonging to
His Victim.

SUISUN, CAL, Oct. 9.-Daniel FL. Will
son, well-to-do Suisun Valley orchardist,
was assassinated tonight at his ranch.
The crime was acowardly one, the rancher
being shot down on the threshold of his
home.
Meager details of the tragedy were re-
ceiyed at o'clock from the Hatch ranch
by telephone. Two women who lived at
the Wilson residence ran to the Hatch
residence, about half mile distant, and
gave the alarm soon after the murder.
They said Mr.. Wilson responded to a
knock at the door at about 8 o'clock, and
was shot down as he stepped outside. But
one shot was fired.
The murdered man was in Suisun late
this afternoon and left town after he had
received some money, amounting to sew
eral hundred dollars, for his almond crop.
1t is supposed he carried the money to his
home, and the theory is advanced that
robbery was the motive for the murder.
Under Sheriff Il. L. Robinson and posse
have left for the scene of the tragedy.

silver Meeting at Orange.

ORANGE, CAL, Oct. 9.-Hon. w. P.
Stradley of San Francisco addressed a
silver meeting here last night. He said /:
why are the mills closed? Is it not be-
cause there is lack of demand for their
products2 This lack of demand is caused
by the fact that for years past producers
in the South and West have been raising
crops at an absolute loss. If we want to
open factories we should commence at the
bottom and make more money and thus
stimulate the demand. We will open the
factories by first opening the mints.

Left a Bill of Sale for His
Office Furniture to a
Friend.
HIS WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN
Had Been Threatened With Criminal
Prosecution by an Insurance
Company.

TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 9.--Colonel w.
w. Likens, prominent lawyer OF this
city, who came to Tacoma eight years
ago, mysteriously disappeared last Tues
day, leaving a note in his Office stating
that he had gone to Seattle. He also left
bill of sale of the Office furniture to a
friend who had gone on his bond to the
State Insurance Company of Oregon.
Likens recently received several thousand
dollars from the insurance company to
satisfy a judgment recently entered
against it in this county, and the COM
pany and other creditors have been de-
manding settlement, while Likens has
been sparring for time to avoid threat
ened criminal prosecution.
Between 1871 aud 1875 Likens was q
prominent lawyer in Mineral Point, Wis,
being associated with ex-Congressman
Amasa Cobb. afterward Justice of the
Supreme Court of Nebraska. Likens in
1874 got into trouble with some of his
clients at Mineral Point, who were mem.
bers of the Masonic fraternity, and the re-
sult was that he. thirty-second degree
Mason, was expelled from the order.
Likens then drifted to Colorado, where
he served four years in the penitentiary al
Canyon City for forgery. By those who
knew of the circumsta stances, it is said be
was lighting prohibitionist" and was
"railroaded" into the penitentiary by
saloon men. He refused to ask for new
trial or pardon, but the warden Of the
penitentiary declined to lock him up.
Likens was taken into the penitentiary
as boarder, where he continued to prac-
tice law until his time was served.
Judge Stallcup of the Superior Court in
Tacoma knew Likens well in Colorado,
and says of his prison experience: THAT
scrape was an unfortunate affair. Likens
was strong willed and would not allow
anything to be done for him. The Su-
preme Court refused to debar him and his
name stands OH the roll to-day"
Likens was law partner of Judge
Amasa Cobb in Mineral Point. When be
first came to Tacoma he made from
$40, 900 to $40, 600 year, all of which went
into disastrous real estate speculations.
When he left Denver his wife was matron
of the State Reform School for Girls. At
the time of the acces ssion of Governor
Waite Mrs. Likens' head fell into the
basket, along with three other Republican
Office holders. II is said Mrs. Likens has
recently secured a divorce.
Likens was a member of the Grand
Army, though not prominent in the Or
ganization. He enlisted as q private IN
the Seventh Wisconsin Volunteers, and
before he was Is years of age was captain
of company. He was soon promoted
and for the greater part of the service was
colonel of a Wisconsin regiment and
fought in many of the battles of the CAM
paigns in Tennessee and Mississippi. He
was always prominent in political gather
ings in this county and State and this
odr s1~--- l.
cans in the movement toward State fusion
and was disappointed in not receiving a
nomination for State office at the fusion
convention.

NEEDS OF STOCKTON ASYLUM.
Directors liant an appropriation OF
100000 for Ttuo Yenrs.

Directors Want an appropriation OF
100000 for Tsco Fears.
STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. 9.-The directors
of the State asylum here to-day reelected
Superintendent Asa Clark to serve for. the
ensuing four years. The chief business
transacted was the framing of the BIZ
ennial report to Governor Budd.
This caused considerable discussion, as
the original draft of the report asked for a
general appropriation of $40, 900 for the
maintenance during the next two fiscal
years of 100 patients.
This was vigorously opposed by Di-
rector ]. d. McDougald of Stockton, who
claim ed that the instituation could be run
for much less money, as shown by the ex-
penditures of the past year, which are
nearly $4,000 below the appropriation.
He argued that even 1700 patients could
be supported for very little more money
in view of the many improvements made
within the past year for caring for patients.
Directors Mcdonald and Steffans came to
his way of thinking, and the request was
cut down to $401. .000 The report showed
the asylum to be one of the best managed
of the State institutions.
