CUT AND DRIED
Meeting of Riverside County Repub-
lican Central Committee

RIVERSIDE, June 14.-The Republican
county central committee met here today.
when the first gun of the coming campaign
was fired, but 1t was small gun, for it
was evident that the great heads of the
party were waiting for something to turn
up. The meeting took no steps further
than to fill the vacancies in the committee.
1t was expected by outsiders that a date
for the holding of the necessary primaries
would be named. but it was not, and many
think none will be named, as the slate will
be fixed and such a thing as holding a con-
vention would be a surplusage.
The city schools will close on Friday of
this week, and the various rooms are ar
ranging an appropriate program for the
closing day. The graduating class of the
high school will be a large one, and is CON-
posed of the following: Julia Mcintyre,
Bonnie Gage, Fanny Hunter, Claude
Mitchell. Ramsey Gage. Norman Irving,
Myrtle McCullom, Winnie Pulls, Thomas

Thomas w. Barlow Of the suspended Peo-
pies Bank, has been enabled, as result
of receiving a check for $400, 900 from Presi-

Mind Reading

The really extraordinary performances
of mind readers of celebrity astound ali
who witness them. Scientists cannot ex-
plain them; the experts themselves are
unable to say by what mental process they
arrive at conclusions and discover locations
almost invariably correct. Hamlet ex-
claims, "There are more things in heaven
and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in
thy philosophy" The wonderful feats
Of the mind reader are strongly corrobora-
tive of this. But the reason Of the bene-
ficent effects of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers in cases of dyspepsia, malaria rheu-
matism, biliousness, nervousness and kid
ney and bladder complaint. marvellous al
they are, does not require and will not
provoke investigation. We know that the
medicine does effect thorough cures in OBJ
stinate cases, that 1t does prevent the dis
eases to which 1t is adapted Consequently
able and eminent men endorse it. Used
with persistency 1t will re-establish health.

CANADA COMES IN
Urges the Anglo-American Alliance.
All Differences to Be Settled

LONDON, June H.-Sir Charles Upper.
the Canadian statesman who has just ar
rived here from Canada, is quoted in an
interview as discussing lengthily the rea-
lions between Canada and the United
States: He said:
Canada sympathizes very warmly with
the proposed rapprochenent between Great
Britain and the United States. 1t has al
ways been our desire to have the most
friendly commercial relations with the re-
public, but hitherto the United States has
not shown any disposition to reciprocate.
The Mckinley and Dngley bills and the
allen labor laws presented conclusive evil
dence on this point. 1 believe, however, that
the present is a most propitious time for the
settlement of all questions, and by the
changed temper Of the American people l
think they can be approached with a fair
prospect of just settlement"

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 16.-John Good

policy in part as follows:
1--WE should hold the Philippine ISL
ands, the Caroline islands and the Lad
rome islands, also Cuba and Porto Rico.
1t does not matter whether we call them
war indemnity or what. We need them
in our business. You have no idea and
cannot have until you get out there,
where all nations are fighting for trade,
what an intense jealousy there is of the
United States. Just now the CONT
mental peoples seem more jealous of US
than even of England. If we are to
have anything TO say we must have a
navy, to have navy we must have
coaling stations. That means the Sand
witch Islands and the Philippines. To
handle our navy economically and eff
fectively we must build the Nicaragua
canal and, i'll my opinion, we should
buy strip of land across Nicaragua TO
build our canal in our own territory. !"
