TALLANT RECEIVERS
The Insane Banker Is as we'll Now
as Ever

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-John D. Tallant.
the San Francisco banker who became
violently insane on an overland train
Tuesday and was removed to sanitar-
ium at Lake Geneva, recovered his rea
son Thursday. His mind is now as clear
as ever. His revival was instant. AT
o'clock in the afternoon he seemed to
awake with a start from the mental
stupor. He had no recollection of what
had happened from the moment of his
mental collapse. 1t was gradually ex
planned to him. He said that he was
feeling in the best of health, but was a
trifle sore from bruises.
Mr.. Tallant will remain at Lake Ge-
neva for a week to rest and will then
probably continue his journey to join
his family at Dresden, Germany. His
brother-in-law will arrive at Lake Ge-
neva from San Francisco tomorrow. AS
soon as the patient was out of the ex-
citement of the city he became quiet and
steadily improved. The attack is sup
posed to have been brought on by nerv-
Gus prostration, which was the result of
overwork and grief for son who died
nine months ago.

Salmon Fishers Strike

SAN FRANCISCO, August 27.-The
salmon canning industry on the Sacra-
mento river is at a standstill al present.
In previous seasons the packers paid a
regular price for all fish delivered to
them, large and small alike. This year
the packers proposed to pay so much
pound for the fish instead of the old
system. This, in addition to cut of
from IL to "a cents a pound, was re-
ceived with disfavor by the fishermen,
who declined to supply any more fish
unless the old system was continued and
an increase be made in the price.
This proposition the Sacramento River
Packers Association declined and thus
the matter stands and will stand for
this season, as the close season COM
mences on Saturday. The companies will
can no salmon until next season.

The KaY Murder

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col. Aug. o.
Another sensational development oc
Cured today in the Kay murder case
This afternoon young man discovered
a bundle of blood stained underclothes
and a flannel shirt in the crevice of a
rock about 500 feet above the Manitou
and Pixies Peak railroad depot. The
clothes are believed to belong to the
men who murdered Kay, and answer in
every detail to the description of the
clothes which John B. Edmunds was
known to have been wearing when he
was last seen in this city and few days
prior to the murder. The blood-stains
are accounted for by the supposition that
the murderer held the body in his arms
the head against his breast and the feet
trailing on the ground, when he dragged
1t to the culvert where it was found.

There Were Plenty of Eggs

There is a summer visitor in Detroit

then at home. We had poached eggs for
breakfast, and when we were helped
there was but one left on the plate. This
evidently troubled the son, who was fas-
tidious in his tastes and had a really
lavish disposition as a host. Twice he
suggested to his mother that they had
better have more eggs and she passed
the matter over with a great deal of
tact. My own impression Is that there
were no more eggs in the house. Once
more the son returned to the subject,
and before the old lady could reply Mark
put furthr discussion out of the question.
There are eggs enough here and one to
spare. Quit bothering your mother and
help entertain your company" said the
future president maker, and it pleased
