FEAR OF THE INSANE WARD
IT IMPELLED CLARA PETERS TO
END HER LIFE
Rather Than Suffer the COmpanien--
ship of the Crazy, She Took Paris
Green and Gave Some of 1t to
Died but the Babe May Re-
cover.

Fearful of Incarceration in an insane
asylum, Mrs. Clara Peters, wife of
Louis Peters, farmer living four miles
beyond the city limits on the German
road, took dose Of Paris green with
suicidal intent Monday, and also adj
ministered a portion of the poison to
her eight-months-o baby.
The babe recovered from the effects
or the poison, but Mrs. Peters died at
$50 o'clock yesterday morning at the
office of DR.. 0. A. Beal, where she was
taken for treatment when it was dis
covered that she had attempted to end
her life.
For several months Mrs. Peters suf-
fered from some nervous complaint
which she feared threatened her mind
This made her at times remorseful
when she talked of ending her trouble
In death. She had been under the
treatment of several specialists in this
city, and Monday afternoon her hus-
band prepared to bring her to ST. Paul
for consultation with one of the ply
sicians.
When informed that she was to visit
the doctor Mrs. Peters seemed to think
that a final determination had been
reached to send her to the insane asy-
iuIH. Shortly AFTER o'clock she be-
came violently ill and the baby also
was taken sick. The baby soon became
relieved of the poison, but Mrs. Peters
grew worse, and while she suffered
great agony her husband drove with
her to DR.. BeaPs office
The woman was in intense pain after
the long ride and very weak DIR. Beal,
assisted by DR.. Hawkins, at once ap-
piled every treatment for arsenical
poisoning, and after several hours
work, Mrs Peters seemed to improve.
Her vitality was nearly exhausted.
however, and she died at half past 8
o'clock.
Mr.. Peters says there was no other
cause for his wife's act, other than the
mental trouble which she had been suf-
fering. She did her household work
as usual Monday morning and showed
no signs of dependency until she was
appraised of the contemplated visit to
the city.
Mrs. Peters was thirty-one years of
age. Her death leaves three mother
less children, the Oldest six years of
age. The funeral will take place from
the family home tomorrow afternoon.

READY TO sTRADDLE THE SILL

Declines to Discuss Issues, Reserving Himself for Opening of His Campaign in This City
 Next Week.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.-This after noons Southern Pacific train brought to Los Angeles James G. Maouire and the most variegated lot of politicians. perhaps, ever carried on one train. Ac- companying the straddler of three dis tinct party platforms was William H. Afford, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee. In the same car were a number of Oakland dele gates to the Silver Republican State Convention, which convenes here to- morrow morning, and in addition to tI ase was a noticeable sprinkling of re- turning delegates from the Republican State Convention, who conspicuously displayed yellow badges bearing the name of Henry T. Gage, Republican nominee for Governor of California.
 The little giant of several issues was met at Burbank by joint committee of Democrats, Popu1ists and Silver Re Stephen M White, E. L. Hutchinson, Judge Winder, Judge J. l.. Murphy, Judge J. N. Phillips. w. R. Burke, pr. R. w. Hill, J. B. Dockweiler. Earl Rog- CTS, John T. Gaffey, Nathan Cole Jr., and others.
 Upon the arrival of the train at Bur- bank the committee entered the car oc- 
 greeted by him. Being asked to give his views on the present campaign, he politely declined, adding that he would reserve such an exposition for his open. ing speech of the campaign, to be made in San Francisco next week.
 When the train arrived at Los An geles it was met by other members of the reception committee who had been left behind, and a brass band especially instructed to play See, the Conquering Hero Comes." The spotted hero then entered an open carriage, and, accom- panied by Senator White, Judge Phil lips and Chairman Afford, was driven to the Nadeau Hotel, where the band had been stationed, -laving inspiriting airs.
 At the hotel the Congressman was greeted by a large number of delegates to the Silver Republican Convention, and a steady stream of these advocates of the "hog dollar" passed through to his apartments.
 Among the plans made for the enter tainment of Congressman Mcguire dur ing his stay in this city was reception given this evening in his honor at the headquarters of the Silver Republican Club, where members of all three par ties met to greet their candidate and partake of refreshments.
 The programme for tomorrow even ing consists of reception at Hazards s Pavilion, at which 1t is expected the glad hand will be extended to all, ir- respective of party The reception is to be under the joint supervision of committees for each of the three parties by whom Mcguire has been and is to be further nominated.
 As it is a foregone conclusion that Mcguire will be nominated by the Sil- yer Republicans tomorrow afternoon he will no doubt be required to make SDepch and his acceDtaOca of the com ditions of the Silver Republican plat form will be carefully noted by all par ties interested In the result of the cam paign.

FIsTICUFFs AT STOCKTON.
Political Scuf1e Between a Justice
 and an Editor.

STOCKTON, Aug. 26-Irving Martin, editor of the Record who was elected State committeeman for Stockton, had an encounter to-day, in the presence Of Mayor Inglis and other officials. with Justice c. P. Rendon. Rendon's political standing went down at the late primaries, when solid Republicans turned out and smashed a slate which had been pre- pared.
 In the convention the Justice was de- nied renomination. The Record was against his faction and he has not been on good terms with Martin since. He went to the Sacramento convention as a spectator, and returning home before Martin. circulated a report that the edi- tor had attempted to interrogate Hon. Frank Ryan, the Congressional nominee, concerning his religious proclivities. Mar tin was angry at this attempt to inject prejudcial and factional questions into the party, and locating the Justice, in the courthouse to-day denounced nm roundly even to passing the lie Ihe Justice resented this, and just as the mix up came the officials interfered. The af- fair is the talk of the day.
 Martin claims he will obtain personal letter from Ryan denying he ever made such interrogations.

This Weeks Wasp.

An excellent likeness of Henry T. Gage, who received the nomination of the Republican party for Governor by exclamation, Is presented with every copy of this weeks issue of the Wasp. The cartoonists have had fruitful subjects for brush and pencil in the Populo-Democratic candidate for gubernatorial honors, who Is so hard up for campaign material that he has been forced to evolve a bogey out of his vain imaginings and in the way in which the Democratic nomination for the Fourth Con- RressionaI District fell to that party's chief buffoon who received the McNab's leavings as any Cuspidor should. Strong and thoughtful editorials on the political situation merit the careful perusal of every one interested in the coming campaign. and ex-Senator Mulrooney's letter is sharp and pointed Random sketches give a clever pen and ink history of the numerous side of the weeks happenings. and other illustrations comprise views of Manila, a capital picture of the delegates to the Head Camp of the Woodnlen of the World. in session in San Francisco. and fine portraits of actors and actresses who are soon to make their appearance the stages of local theaters. The number is both readable and interesting from every point of view.
