.DURRANT'S LAST HOPE GONE
COURT SUMMARILY DISPOsES OF
HIS TWO APPEALS.
Emanuel Church Murderer Will
Probably Be Resentenced To-day
Opinion of Supreme Court.

San Francisco, Dec. Slate this af-
ternoon the supreme court dispelled the
last hope of W. H. I. Durrant, the
murderer of Blanche Lamont and Min
ME Williams, by disposing in a sum-
mary manner of his two appeals.
In a written opinion from the pen of
Chief Justice Beatty which is con-
CURED in By all but one of his col
leagues, the court affirms the Judgment
of Judge Bahrs in demanding the pris-
oner to San Quentin until the date set
for his execution, but reverses that re-
sentencing Durrant to be hanged on
Nov. 18th and remands the case to the
superior court with instructions to pro-
coed according to law. AS the remitti-
tur was ordered issued forthwith and
the court holds that execution can only
be stayed now by the issuance of a GER
tificate of probable cause, it only re-
mains to re-sentence the condemned
murderer which will probably be done
tomorrow.
Justice Garoutte alone dissented from
this opinion, maintaining that Dur
rants appeals should have been dis
missed, as the time required by law
for their perfection had been allowed to
lapse

WHAT IS LIFE?
A DISCOVERY BY PROF. GATES
OF WASHINGTON, WEIGH AN
SWERS THE QUESTION.
An Interesting Subject.

What is life?" This question has
been asked during all ages, but it has
never until now been successfully an
sWered. Professor Elmer Gates, of
Washington, who has been making
great experiments with the microscope,
has made virtually, double micros-
cope; in other words, he brings the
image of the first microscope on the
lens, which picture on the lens is en-
larged by the second microscope so
that many things which it is inpossi-
bic to see with an ordinary microscope
are revealed. In this way he is able to
see the smallest cells of the body in an
exceedingly large form. He says: "Cut
a piece of protoplasm into number of
pieces and each piece will still be
alive" thus proving that the germs of
life exist in even the minutest particle
of the body.
But he goes farther and says that he
believes mind is life, and that mind is
present in every particle of the body.
This is new a startling, q wonderful
theory and it may lead to revolution
on the subjects of disease, health and
of happiness. 1t explains clearly one
thing and that is, why the mind is
frequently affected when the body is
disordered, and it brings home the
question of health or disease very fore
IDLY.
1t becomes plain that in order to have
a clear head and a strong mind, one
must have a body that is in perfect
condition. When the body is deranged
the mind cannot work rightly. With
pains in the back, nausea, WEAKNESS,
bearing down sensations and ali the
symptoms indicating a weakened con-
dition of the kidneys and urinary or
gans, there is certain to be q. ciouding
of the intellect which calls for inme-
date action This action can only be
successfully taken by using some gBeat
modern discovery that is certain to put
the cell tissues in perfect shape. There
is such a discovery and it is doing
more to counteract pain and establish
health than anything known to modern
times. In speaking of it DR.. William
Edward Robson, of London, says: 81
alphabetically state that I have been
able to give more relief and effect more
cures by the use of Warmers Safe Cure
than by all the medicines in the British
pharmacopoeia." DR.. R. a. Gum, dean
of the United States medical college,
says Il prescribe and use Warner
Safe Cure in both acute and chronic
Bright's disease and commend it most
frankly"
Such statements should convince any
man or woman that there is no need
of farther suffering. if a prompt use is
made of the remedy that is commended
so highly.

That Rogers Resolution.

The Standard feels itself cruelty
wronged by The Herald, over this pa
pers report of the meeting where the
ogden Sugar company was organized.
The Herald said that Lindsay R. Rog-
ers introduced resolution thanking
the Weber club and the Standard for
pushing the sugar factory enterprise.
This paper omitted to state that the
resolution passed without a dissenting
vote. The omission was wholly unin-
territorial. but, since the Standard feels
aggrieved at it, The Herald here as
sures the public that the resolution was
thus passed, and was justly passed. The
Standard was not one whit less Jealous
than The Herald in it's advocacy of a
sugar factory for Ogden, and while The
Herald does not ask for public recog-
milton in the form of a Rogers resolu-
ton, still it is in no wise DESTROYS of
ignoring the praise given to the Stand
ard. Lindsay R. Rogers introduced the
resolution, and it passed without a dis
senting vote.

things considered, the actual amount
must be pretty nearly if not quite at the

TO the wool trade and the predictions are
still rife that prices will not long hence
1t is Increasingly difficult to speak of ac-
tual prices in this market, the quotations
are unchanged. and while an intensely
dull market always raises the presump-
ton of concessions, it would be difficult
to put ones finger on actual mark-downs
al this time. AS matter Of fact, there
are hardly buyers enough around to break
the market. There has been a big falling
off in the sale OF Australian. owing to the

The markets were today inactive but

real anxiety. December opened at &c..

selling by the bull clique sufficed to put
the price back to 9SAc. but an hour later

day. More buying orders came in after a
slight reaction, which put the price to

HoldUps Make Another Raid
Senate Saloon Robbed of S35.

Senate Saloon Robbed of $50.
Under the very noses of the police
another hold-up occurred yesterday
morning. Three masked men entered
the Senate saloon. and at the revolt
vers muzzle, forced the occupants to
throw up their hands, while the robbers
rified the till.
The story Of the hold-up, according to
ice Hall, who is the night bartender at
the Senate, is as follows: About s
o'clock this morning he was down on
his knees scrubbing the copper under
the bar when he heard Aft Townsend,
a negro who was in the saloon, cry out:
Don't shoot At this he raised up,
only to look down the muzzle of a As

thug who was already behind the bar.
One CT the marauders stood at the back
door. one at the swinging doors just
back Of the cigar cases, and the third,
who was bahind thu bar, went through
the till, while the negro crouched in the
corner his eyes fairly popping from
his head with fright. Hall was marched
from behind the counter at command
of the one who was standing near the
rear door, who seemed to be the leader

proprietor of the Senate saloon, put the

the Beesley family found the valise

returned and the Beesley family turned
