ANOTHER FIND.
Missing John Postel Located Over il
Lake County.

The Record Union has been the
medium through which another long
lost man has been located Several
such instances have occurred in the
past, showing that the paper is read far
and wide.
Last March the following notice APP
peared in these columns
Where is John Postel?-John Postel,
Jr., of Cole Camp, Mo-, writes to Coun-
ty Auditor Cohn for information re-
garding his uncle, John Postel Of Bran
denstadt, in the province of Hanover.
about 70 years of age, who came to
California, who left there in 1915, going
back for a visit about thirteen years
ago and returning to California about
a year afterwards. He was a brother
to Harmon Postel, and any person Civ
ing any information regarding his pres
emit whereabouts will be suitably re-
warded."
Now comes the following from Mid
dletown, Lake County, telling where
the missing man may be found:
Editors Record Union: l noticed

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
More Work Preparatory to the Great
Convention in July.

At a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Sacramento County I'm
ion last night considerable business of
Importance was transacted. The at
tendance was large, including dele
cation from the Orangevale society.
Among other things done was the
adoption of a resolution expressive of
the sentiment that it would be but a
fair expression of interest in the great
convention to ask the Board of Educa-
ton to arrange for closing the schools
in time to permit the teachers, schol-
ars and the family friends of pupils to
attend the convention.
The first session will be on the 18th
of July. AS this will come so soon
after the National holiday as to make
it useless to have any practical work
after that, in any event, and as our
city will be filled with visitors who
will have come thousands of miles to
see US, it will be creditable to our repu-
tation for hospitality to give the school
children and teachers this opportunity
to participate in an event that will
not likely recur in a quarter OF a CEN
fury.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the Board of Education Oh the
subject at once.
It was also decided to ask the bust
ness men and employers generally to
give all employees who desire to visit
the convention a holiday on Friday
and Saturday, July 9th and 10th, for
that purpose. AS the California State
Convention will be held Saturday after
noon and evening, it is especially de-
sirable that a full attendance of Cal
ifornians be made possible. A COM
mittee was appointed for that purpose
also.
A special committee was appointed
TO prepare for the meeting this even
ing at the Westminster Presbyterian
Church at o'clock, at which time j.
S. Webster, Vice-Chairman of the
Committee of 1897, will address the
Young Peoples Societies of this county
Mr.. Webster is a fluent talker, and it
will be we'll for all who desire to take
any interest in the work, or what is
being done, to be present.
The convention privileges will be
open to all societies of young people,
whether Epworth Leaguers, Baptist
Young People or Christian Endeav
orers. Therefore all such and every
body else are cordially invited to be
present.

THAT FLORIN DEBATE.
One of the Joaquin Club Members
Has Something to Say.

A correspondent writing from Elk
Grove yesterday says:
Eds. Record Union:" In your issue
of May 9th you gave an account of the
Webster-Oak Park debate. In it was
a statement which l wish to correct.
1t was stated that the Webster Club
had never been beaten in joint debate
Now, while | concede that they are
good debaters and in my opinion de-
served the verdict the other evening
l know of my own knowledge that they
We're defeated in two out of three joint
debates held with the Joaquin Debat-
ing Society last spring.
I was very interested listener to the
debate of Saturday evening at Florin,
but the one previous | did not hear
and have nothing to say concerning it.
According to my understanding, a
debate is the presentation of points
we'll sustained, and not a species of
spread eagle, Fourth of July ora
tons" One speaker of the Oak Park
Club seemed TO be trying to see how
many words he could spin off in the
allotted time: another endeavored to
use all the very large and scientific
words in Webster's Unabridged, and
another must have had a list of synon-
yms at his elbow when he prepared his
address. Three of their speakers We're
all right, and / would like to hear
them and three Of the Webster Club
join issue.
In respect to the speaking of the
latter club, their points We're stated
in plain language and without unin-
telligible words and phrases to cloud
their meaning and confuse the country
folks.
If the Oak Parkers are anxious to
show their mettle they may have an
other chance in the near future. The
Joaquin Society is not dead, only rest
ing on its laurels, and looking for fresh
fields to invade
I hope the young debaters will not
consider that 1 set myself UP as O.
critic; l only say what / think may
interest them in showing that some of
their audience We're present to see and
hear and not to be seen and heard, as
was particularly a great many, par
ticularly the ''fish-horn.'
The boys on both sides did well, and
I hope to hear them again, as practice
makes perfect. SO does such exercise
fit them to speak on topics of the day
when their voices may exert an in
fluence in public affairs.

Stimulate the sluggish Kidneys

In addition to its tonic and cathartic
properties. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters ex-
ercises a beneficial influence upon the kid
neys and bladder, when they are inactive,
by stimulating them to renewed exertion,
thus reopening, as it were. a sluice for the
escape of impurities whose regular chan
mel of exit is the organs OF urination.
Among these are certain abnormal and
infiammatory elements, productive of ir-
reparable injury to the system If not en-
tirely expelled. The kidneys and bladder
themselves are also benefited by this
stimulus, as their inactivity is usually a
preliminary to their disease and disorgan-
ization. They also experience, IN common
potent invigorative effects of the Bitters,
which furthermore corrects disordered
conditions of the stomach, bowels and
liver.

DIED ON THE WAY.
A Young Man Expires in Hack While
Going to a Hotel.

A sad thing happened yesterday af-
ternoon. A young man named Fred
Mudgett, formerly owner of a single
mill in Tacoma, arrived here by the af-
ternoon train, on his way to his home,
accompanied by his wife.
He was evidently in the last stages
of consumption and they started in a
hack to go to the Western Hotel but he
died on the way and was taken TO the
Coroner's. His wife, who was quite
overcome by his sudden decease, had
the deepest sympathy of those who
knew Of the incident.

make the visit of the children pleas
ant. They treated them to many nice
things, and every child was presented
with bunch of pretty flowers. Prizes
had been donated by merchants for the

ran to secure them was caution.
The children were accompanied and
looked after by the lady managers OF
the Home, and no accident occurred to
mar the pleasure of the little orphans.
