women,s clubs. women's thoughts and
everv id a. in fact, which springs from a

The testimony of DR.. T. w. Peers

Q-Do you know Mr.. Hummer?
Ayes, sir.
Q-when did you become acquainted
with him?
August, 1897.
O-Where?
AIT my office. He came to consult
me about stomach difficulty and heart
trouble. He came a second time few
days later.
Odd you examine him?
Ayes, sir. The condition of his
tongue and other symptoms led me
to believe that he had chronic stomach
trouble and on examination l found
that his heart was somewhat diseased.
Estate what effect these troubles
have on the mind.
A-The stomach is intimately con-
nected with the brain and when it is
affected it very often affects the brain
Also when the brain is affected it some
times is responsible for affection of the
stomach.
H. w. Benedict's testimony was as

Ayes sir. He worked for me at the
nursery.
condition of his mind?
Ayes sir.

Ale always lodged around and
gesticulated a good deal as though ne
wasn't right.
O-Now what is your opinion as to
the soundness of his mind?
Al don't think he is a man of good
sound mind. Taking the family all
through I think there is something

Al think since his sickness his mind
has been deranged at spells.
After a short cross examination by
County Attorney Jetmore, which
brought out no material facts one way
or another, Mrs. Tice was recalled to
the stand by Attorney Vance and ask
ed

mother to each other?

In the evening there will be a carnival
on the streets, where en- costume the

call before midnight.
The carnival on the streets will begin
at 8 o'clock. It is the intention of the
committee to have a fireworks display
during the evening if sufficient funds
can be raised. It has been said the COM
Inittee has about 81. 900 on hand. This
IS not the case. Less than $500 was
raised by the committee and nearly all
of that was spent in caring for the three
regiments of troops on their arrival,
leaving tEa treasury in a depleted con-
dition.
During the meeting this morning it
was decided to give a smoker cOmpH-
mentary to the officers of the post and
the three regiments whose headquart-
ers are here and the following commit
tee was appointed to take charge of the
function: Mayor J. D. Edmond, o. B.

Three Doctors in Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin.

FTOIM Benjamin Z TankIIu.
"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine in
the first place; what experience tells
you is best, to be chosen in the second
place; what reason ii. E., theory says
is best is to be chosen in the last place.
But if you can get DR.. Inclination, DR..
Experience and DR.. Reason to hold a
consultation together, they will give
you the best advice that can be taken. -
When you have a bad cold DR.. In
clnation would recommend Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy because it is
pleasant and safe to take. DR.. Expert
ence would recommend it because it
never fails to effect a speedy and per
manent cure. DR.. Reason would recon-
mend it because it is prepared on sci
entif1c principles, and acts on natures

Mrs. Samantha Smith and Frank
Dawdy, both residents of Oakland were
also called to the witness stand by the
defense before adjournment last even
ing, but neither proved satisfactory wit
nesses and were dismissed after a few
questions and without cross examina-
ton. Mrs. Smith was so disturbed in
mind after taking the stand that she
was unable to tell the jury where she
resided, and Dawdy stated that he had
an opinion about the condition of VIII
Runners mind but was unable to say
on what circumstances this opinion was
based. After he was dismissed Judge
Hazen adjourned court until this morn
ing.
Before calling the first witness for the
defense, w. I. Jamison, one of Hum
the counsel hoped to show that Hum
mer was insane at the time of the
shooting, and was by no means re-
sponsible for his actions at that time
The evidence for the defense in the
Hummer trial closed about IL o'clock
this morning, and after Judge Hazen
read his instructions to the jury At
torney Thomas H. Balm opened the ar
gument for the prosecution. County
Attorney Jetmore spoke for the prose-
cution this afternoon and Attorneys
Vance and Jamison for the defense. A
verdict is expected late this afternoon.
DR.. T. w. Peers, H. A. Benedict, an
Oakland real estate man, and Mrs. Ida
Tice, a sister of Will Hummer, were
placed on the witness stand by the de-
Tense this morning. 1t was intended
to take the testimony of several other
witnesses, among them DR. S. E. Shell
don, but because of a mistake in the
issuance of the subpoenaes they were
not present.
By Mrs Tice the defense proved that

Peace Commissioners of Spain
and the United States
Are Far Apart in Their De-
mands and Requirements
PHILIPPINES
WITH
Still Barely Touched in the
Negotiations.
Difficulties Will Increase When
They Come Up.

Paris, Oct.S.-The United States peace
commissioners began their usual three
hours session at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. They are understood to have ia
ken into consideration direct sugges-
tions and counter PROPOSITIONS from the
Spaniards of which the Americans now
have enough to engage their attention
at the daily session. 1t may be regard
ed as quite likely that the Spaniards
have already outlined their apparent
expectations and that they are beyond
the line of possible acquiescence by the
Americans. The latter are now acting
along well considered lines, consistently
and with a definite end In view. They
have to some degree disclosed American
expectation and determination.
The Spaniards seem unable, or I'M
willing, to understand, or believe the
Americans have at the outset set forth
their requirements and that they are
destined to remain virtually unchanged
by nneSSe, or county diplomacy. There
fore it is not unlikely that the Ameri-
cans; following the course of fair, thor
ough consideration of all the original
counter propositions, will to the limit
of fruitful possibility, accord patient
consideration of thought projected by
the Spaniards. Thus, it is fair to con-
clude that the Americans daily sessions
during the recess intervals will be fully
engrossed. While the Philippines have
not yet been reached in the delibera-
lions, this question is doubtless rela-
lively not far distant and at that point
Is likely to come the full stress OF the
diplomatic controversy.
Referring to the Philippine phase OF
the negotiations the Gaulois today says:
1.-THE question was somewhat touched
upon, though not discussed yesterday,
but there was enough to indicate ser
fous difficulties when it does come up.
