FRANK UNGER SINGLE
He and His Fiancee Discover in Time
That They Have Made a Mistake

Frank Unger, the well-known club man of
San Francisco, who is equally known here,
had narrow escape from matrimony recent
ly. He was engaged to Miss Helen WILDER
of Honolulu, daughter of the late S. b. Will
Der OF that island province OF this coun-
try. Miss WILDER was an heress, having a
fortune of million of SO inherited from her
father, who was a large owner of steam
ship lines in that region. She became en-
gagged to the popular young man some time
ago, and the wedding was set for April
"a, and preparations were made in Homo
lulu for its celebration in the most impress
sive style. Mr.. Unger went to the islands
some six weeks before that time and was
giveln, possession, of large block of stock
IN the, steamship company in which his
hancee's fortune was invested, and was
ipade director. Soon after this, however,
the young lady came to this state for her
health, so it, was stated, and the wedding
was postponed. Mr.. Unger also returned
soon after, and lately went to New York,
and now it is announced that the two found
that they were not suited to each other and
the engagement, on the authority of the
man, is stated to be off. Miss WILDER is
still in the north and is now on hunting
and fishing trip to King City below Salinas.

Two OVERLAND TRAINS WRECKED
NARROW ESCAPE OF THE SANTA
FE PACIFIC
BOTH MAIL CLERKS ESCAPED
Overland Was Running Down a Noun
tain Grade But Did Not Ditch.
A Marrow Escape

But for receiving slow running orders
yesterday morning, the west bound overland
train ON the Santa Fe Pacific railway would
probably have been dashed down the side OF
an embankment this side OF Summit sta
ton on the Cajon pass grade, and oil the
trainmen and passengers killed or badly
wounded. As it was, the train was wrecked
the front of the engine being stove IN.
About three miles this side OF Summit sta
ton gang of men has been at work cut
ting out a trestling and substituting an
embankment The overland, which con,
sisted of engine, tender, mail, baggage and
express cars, day and chair coach ana three
Pmllmans, was about three hours late in
leaving Summit Orders had been sent,
however, directing that the run down the
heavy grade should be made at slow time,
which were of course followed. guam
tity of dirt had become piled on the track
at the point where the embankment was
being constructed, and onto thus the en-.
CINE ran before the train could be brought
10 standstill. Fortunately the engine
was thrown into the side of the mountain
to the right instead of to the left. which
would have sent the entire train plunging
down at least two hundred feet: The, front
of the engine struck against the bank and
the train came to an abrupt stop. Mail
Clerks w. r. Hanna and George BYrgoyne
were thrown against the sides of their car
and others of the trainmen were thrown
down, but no one was injured.
Travel was suspended for hours, and
it was necessary to send for wrecking crew
and an extra engine. from San Bernardino,
as the engine Of the overland had been
smashed in in the front. The passengers
had nearly all been awake at the time of
the accident, which occurred at $3.50 o'clock.
and they were transferred to an extra and
brought to this city. The other coaches
were not got away until evening. and
reached here about $3.50 o'clock last night.
instead of 1928 a. m.,, the regular time.
That the wreck did not result in dread
fnl fatality was due to the judgment of the
railroad authorities in sending the over
land orders to run slowly, on account Of
the improvements. Had the engine ran
onto the earth that was on the track, the
entire train would certainly have left the
track and gone tumbing down the side of
the mountain. .Trainmen consider it a
very fortunate escape.
There was peculiar coincidence in this
accident and that to the Southern Pacific
overland. Kellogg, the mail clerk, who
was killed on the latter wreck, had until a
short time ago been room mate of Hanna,
one of the clerks on the mail car of the
Santa Fe train. Both were home-bound
from overland trips. One was killed in a
wreck and the other narrowly escaped meet
ing death in similar manner.

Psychic
Diagnosing

Science each day is plunging more and
more into the realm of psychic forces. We
know that magnetic healing is the result
of the vibration of heat, light and sound
of rapid nature. Psychic healing also in
cludes unknown vibrations that are ac-
knpwledged to ematicanly exist, and
they include rays, enormous in their vibra-
tions far beyond the Roentgen rays.
Science has long since admitted the pos
sibility of the variations of ether. All
possess normal sight. All the vibrations
which We see are comprised within narrow
limits. The Occultist, by the extraordinary
rapidly of these vibrations and the ex-
traordinary movement Of the current Of
magnetism, sets the patients body vibrat-
ing. When the ether vibrates by this ex-
ternal stimulus 1t provokes a vibration to
The brain as we'll as to the rest of the
body. 1t brings into activity center in
the brain which is ordinarily inactive, rem
derng the person capable of returning to
normal physical and mental harmony.
These physicians, masters of the art of
healing direct from the ORIENT, can be
consulted daily. morning, afternoon and
night, at their suite Of rooms, as below.

At the Parks

It was very pleasant at the parks yester-
day. The day was warm enough for row.
ing and breezy enough for sailing. These
pleasures We're enjoyed by large numbers,
especially at Westlake, where the Catalina
secured the band until June /, 1885, or until
Catalina traffic shall demand its services
next summer. The initial performance was
given Sunday week ago, and proved such
drawing card that the management lost
no time in closing contract. AS result
Of this step, Westlake is enjoying boom.
There was one feature conspicuous at all
the parks. That was the Seventh regiment
boys, a large proportion of the regiment
being at one or more of the parks during
the day.

A LOS ANGELES FIND
He Thinks He Has Found the Mother
Lode of the Klondike

H. M. Sinclair of this city, who was one
of the first Argonauts to venture into the
Klondike country, thinks he has discovered
the mother lode only three and one-half
miles from Dawson City on Bonanza creek
He and his partner have announced that
they have found an immense vein of gold
quartz, showing free gold in the groupings,
twenty-five feet wide and plainly showing
for 5000 feet along the mountain. They
cut through one side of the vein
in a highly mineralized ore body
and found that it was at least
900 feet wide and fully 1900 feet long There
has been rush for the prospects, and al
ready 400 new claims have been recorded at
Dawson. The whole mountain in that re-
gion is said to be one solid body of gold
bearing ore and the most intense excitement
prevails. The great lode was very close
to the route of the trail leading up Bonanza
creek and hundreds of men have been pass
ing within a few hundred yards of it, coming
down, for years past

Disgraceful Misrepresentat ious

10 the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
The campaign methods used by some of the
editors and orators on the Republican side
are not only unfair and unjust, they are alb
solutely disgraceful. 1t is doubtful whether
any candidate for high office was ever
more shamefully abused and more persist
emily misrepresented by his opponents than
is Judge Mcguire, the gubernatorial candi-
date OF the people of California No lie is
too brash, no abuse too harsh to be used
against the union candidate and those who
are honestly striving to insure his election.
The plan most generally resorted to at the
present stage Of the contest is to misrepre-
sent Maguire's views on the important sub
ject of taxation. The Judge being a CON
scientious and consistent advocate of the
theory known as the single tax, the Repub-
lican carpenters who built the state plat
form at Sacramento thought it would be
something which they called the single tax
and then have the g. o. p. orators and ed
itors all over the state work it for all there
is in it. They will find out, however, sooner
or later, that there is precious little in it
for their side. The straw man which Dan
Burns and Mr.. de Young set up and labeled
Single Tax" is something entirely differ
ent from that theory of taxation: but little
do they care if they can, by such trick,
- CoCC IiSJuutCC dedlHsC Ouuke Mcguire IN
the minds Of few voters who have very lit
tie to think with
do not propose now to defend, or even
explain the single tax philosophy, for it is
in no sense an issue in the present cam
naign: 1t would not be an issue even if the
Republican platform had described it,
which, however. it did not. Platform
builders. who assert that the single tax is
either identical with socialism or a step to-
ward anarchy do not know what they are
saving, And when they declare that it is
both "socialistic and anarchistic" they
make a most ridiculous exhibition of them
selves. When was anything so supremely
ridiculous inserted in political platform
by state convention?
The men who did that little foolish lob
knew that the theory they pretend to strike
at is not an issue, and 80 do the best in
formed Republican speakers and writer's
who are now continually harping on it.
They also know that, even if it were an is
sue. the governor of the state has no power
under our present constitution to procure
the adoption of the single tax, nor to take
even one step toward it. Such power rests

Frank Davis as a Political Educator

TALKS TO TEACHERS.
Frank F. Davis Whoops 1t Up for Prac-
teal Politics, Bosses and Bribery

Frank F. Davis WIhOop s 1t Up a for Prac-
as Useful Institutions.
The last speaker of the afternoon was
Frank F. Davis, whose subject was
political Education" His address was
a very plain statement of the views of
a practical politician, and though some
of his oratorical flights elected applause,
1t was plainly apparent that the views
were not those of majority of his aud
fence.
Indeed, stripped of all oratorical adorn-
ments, the creed presented was essen
tally that of the professional machine
politician.
1t was not strange that it failed to
arouse much enthusiasm in an edu-
Gated and intelligent audience.
The first proposition advanced was
that the young man should be taught
to start out in politics as a partisan;
otherwise, the speaker said, the stigma
of being a mugwump might be fastened
upon him.
The second principle inculcated by
bosses. This fundamental principle of
machine politics was strongly insisted
upon, and fidelity to the bosses was de-
clared to be an essential characteristic
of the good citizen.
In the third place, Mr.. Davis said,
the young man should apply to his politi
cal life the same methods that are prac-
ticed in business life. But it was quick
ly apparent that this abstract PROPOSE
ton had quite a different significance
for Frank Davis than is commonly put
upon it.
He repudiated the idea that money
should not be spent in politics, and fiat
ly declared: "lf you meet an individ-
ual whom you can bring into your camp
by buying him cigar or a soft drink
buy it. Indeed, for myself. l wouldn't
mind buying him a glass of beer" Gan
indignant No." came from one men,
Der of the audience at this stage of Mr..
Davis remarks, but the exposition of
business methods in politics continued.
The speaker neglected, however, to
state lust how large an inducement it
would be permissible to give to the pur-
chasable voter, or whether in the Davis
code of political ethics there would be
any material difference between paying
money and giving cigars.
In conclusion Mr.. Davis inculcatd upon
his hearers that they should be patriots.
