There were two Corbett fights yester-

right in San Francisco. Frank Corbett.

Pepper the hardest blow he has received
this wear: in act it was more severe
than the shock he received when he
learned that his pet nominees for Super
yisors were defeated on November 8.
The trouble all arose from Maximilian's
long tongue Yesterday afternoon about
o'clock Frank Corbett met Pepper on
Market street, near the Phelan building.
Stepping up to him he told him that ne
would like to talk to him, and after a
short and animated conversation Corbett
landed a right swing on Peppers race.
Pepper was staggered for a second by the
blow. but evidently thinking discretion the
better part of valor he hurried down the
street, vehemently asserting that the
chastisement was unwarranted.
Frank Corbett was very willing to give

compelled to do what 1 did to teach Pop

Speakership soon after the election,

SO doing I will serve the best interests

session of the Legislature should not
be hampered or retarded in any way
by personal contests. I served with Mr..
Wright during the last session of the
Legislature, and L know him to be a
man in whose hands the duties of
Speaker may well be trusted. He is
not only competent to discharge these
duties, but he has the trust and respect
of all who know him-a condition that
will have very marked effect on the
manner in which the business of the
Assembly will be transacted
1T is also due to Alameda County
that she should have this recognition
for one of her representatives. Ala

Practically the Entire Vote of the

Another chapter has been added to
the somewhat one-sided contest for
the Speakership of the next Assembly
Yesterday Assemblyman-elect Charles
M. Belshaw of Antioch, Contra Costa
County withdrew from the contest in
favor of Howard E. Wright of Berke-
ley.
The withdrawal Of Mr.. Belshaw sets
at rest any doubt that may have ex-
listed as to the success of Mr.. Wright's
candidacy, and as the case now stands
practically the entire membership of
the Assembly is pledged to the support
of Alameda Countys favorite son.
Mr.. Belshaw's claim for the honor of
being named as Speaker of the next
Assembly was based on the fact that
he had served as member of that body
during two successive terms, his record
being such that he was again reelected
at the election held on November 8.

for withdrawing his candidacy for the

that her representative should be the
leader of one branch of the Legislature.

as Speaker will meet the approval of all
good citizens For this and the other
reasons that I have enumerated L feel
that can best serve my constituents

Mr.. Belshaw's intimate knowledge OF
legislative work is so well known that
since his withdrawal from the Sneaker
ship contest became known his friends
have signified their intention of urging
him to seek the position Of Speaker pro
tenn. This is a responsible position and
REQUIRES the exercise of abilities of a
high order.

CLOSING THE NEvmLs CASE
Reel B. Terry Begins Building a
Structure to Support the Pros
ecution's CONVENTIONS

Reel B. Terry opened the argument for
the prosecution in the Williams-Loose-
Azhderian extortion case yesterday aft
ernoon. The morning session of the trial
was occupied in the further examination
of Mrs. Williams, one of the defendants,
and Captain Nevills, whose complaint led
to the arrest of the trio of alleged black
mailers. No additional facts of material
weight were drawn from the witnesses.
The argument advanced by Terry was
both critical and analytical. The char
acteristics and personalities of the de-
PENDANTS received a severe grilling and
the mass of testimony was segregated
piece by piece and placed in the structure
the prosecution is building to support it's
theory. The case goes on to-day.

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 1854
East Susquehanna Ave-, Philadelphia,
Pa, is remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter encouragement She
says:
~ never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
"Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not sec
ing any improvement. At times /
would feel we'll enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, 1 knew not
what, but kept getting worse. I can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although
had everything to live for. Had hys-
teria, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, I thought would lose my
mind. No one knows what endured.
IL continued this way until the last
Of February, when I saw in a paper .
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. l determined to try it.,
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am q
we'll woman, and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such a medi-
cine."
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass. :,
for advice. All such letters are seen
and answered by women only.

j. P. Fay, OF Dawson CITY, Alaska,
is registered ut the Columbia. Mr..
Fay states that he left Dawson on
July 8 making the trip by stea mer to
Lake Bennett and reaching Skaguay
in nine days. His description of the
KlOndike confirms the late reports
that the great rush to the KIondike
was due to the largely exaggerated
stories of the wealth OF that country
sent out by the transportation conf
panies assisted by the papers OF the
Pacific coast cities. Mr.. Fay states
that there were forty EIGHT men on
the steamer from Dawson that
brought him to Seattle. and that
the papers there had long articles
claiming that the party had $2,00O,-
OtND in gold dust. when there was
only $75,O0O in gold dust in tho
party. One man had $2OV,WM in
drafts, for which he had exchanged
his gold at Dawson city. He had
been In the Klondike five years, and
was going home rich In pocket but
80 broken down In health that h.
apparently had but a few months to
enjoy bis hard earned money. Mr..
Fay says there has been no discover
les made this spring that amount to
anything, and that the country Is
now full oi idle men. The royalty
exacted from the miners by the Ca.
madam government Is exhorLitant,
and will cause many miners to work
their claims this winter to the extent
Of doing assessment work only. He
says there ia no work there now at
all as the miners have just finished
this seasons cleanup, and are now
getting out wood and laying In sup
plies for next winter. Mr.. Fay went
to Alaska eighteen months ago from
st. Paul. He ia interested in claim
there and expects to return. but
would not advise anyone to 60 there
either expecting to find work at big
wages or intending to prospect for
gold.
