Why Some Men Are Never
Satisfied With Themselves
Or the World at Large.
How to Cure the Chronic "Kick-
ing" Habit.

We seldom enter into conversation with
a man nowadays who does not speak bit
terly of his lot. In fact the closing years
of the Nineteenth Century is an age Of
pessimism Some are dissatisfied with
their business affairs, many complain at
the manner in which the war on the Phil
ippine Islands is being conducted, while
others are unhappily married. The great
mass of men, however, young or old, mar
ried or single. have some bodily ailment.
The latter class can overcome their
troubles more easily than the man who is
embarrassed financially or annoyed with
family social matters or affalrs OF state. 4
Men who are suffering with disease O.
embarrassed by a weakness can be re-
lieved if they will place their health in the
hands of CALIFORNIA; famous specialists,

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June pa special
from Chicago to the Herald says: Re-
publican and Democratic leaders are
alike agreed that Father George D.
Heldmann of ST. Paul's Roman Catho
lie Church, Chicago, whose name has
been mentioned as candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
in the Second District, would be a
strong man to contest the seat with
Representative Lorimer, the present
Republican member Father Held
mann's statement of the situation is as
follows:
II can say without vanity that l am
favored not alone by my own parish
toner's, but by the Catholics and Ger
mans of this district. | have always
been a Democrat, and there is no law,
ecclesiastical or civil, which prevents
the election of Catholic priest to
Congress.
In case Archbishop Feehan gives his
consent to Father Heldmann's becom-
ing a candidate, he will undoubtedly
receive the nomination. Republicans
generally admit that Father Heldmann
would be one of the strongest can
didates that could be put forward, ana
If he is nominated it is doubtful II the
Republicans will make any nomination
against him. 1t is said to be doubtful,
however, whether Archbishop Feehan
will consent to the priest accepting the
nomination, as he is known to be OPP
posed to clergymen mixing up in poll
tics.
Father Heldmann was born in chi
cago fifty-one years ago, and has lived
here all his Rife. He is of German ex-
traction, and was prominent at the
mass-meeting called by German
Americans to protest against a Brit
ish- American alliance.

ALONG

Damage Between Van

THE WATERS ARE RECEDING
SILT LEFT BY OVERFLOW A
COMPENSATING BENEFIT.
The Flood Has Been Twenty Feet
Above Mean Low Water and
Has Caused Considerable
Damage to Crops.
THE WATERS ARE RECEDING
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, June 27-Men just re-
bia River Valley report that great
damage is being caused by foundations
along the Columbia River between
Vancouver and Astoria Many thou
sand acres of farm lands have been
overlooked. Hundreds of ranchers
have moved to high lands, taking their
cattle and farm animals. The inundat-
ed district includes a large stretch of
farming lands lying along the Oregon
bank of the Columbia between the
mouth of the Willamette and Goble
Many farmhouses are filled with water
up to their second story and barns like
wise. Sauvies Island is entirely over
flowed and all the inhabitants have
been obliged to fee This is one of the
most important islands In the Column
bia River, being the seat of extensive
farming operations
Sauvies Island receives a compensat-
ing benefit from these periodical over
flows in that the Silt left by overlooking
waters nearly doubles the crops grown
for several successive years. AT ka-
lama the Northern Pacific tracks and
depot are under water. The single track
remaining in use is built up on the bluff
side and considerably above water. For
many miles northward from Kalama
farms are under water on both sides of
the Northern Pacific.
While the waters lack seven or eight
feet of being as high as during the
great flood of 1894, they are said to be
causing more damage than during any
previous high water, excepting that
one. The waters are believed to have
reached their highest point and are re-
ceding some to-day. Travellers who re-
turned from Portland tonight state
that nearly mile of warehouses along
the Willamette River are flooded. Some
of these warehouses are two or more
stories high and the upper floors are
filled chiefly with grain.
A special from Vancouver, Wash,
says. The Columbia River has been
nearly at a standstill for twenty four
hours. The highest point reached was
twenty-four feet ten inches above
mean low water. The high water has
caused considerable damage to crops
and property on river bottoms and
along the water front.
A vast accumulation Of driftwood
collided with the solitary bridge pier in
the Columbia in the lower part of the
city, wrecking the wooden framework
at the upper side of the pier. This pier
was built for the Union Pacific Rail-
road in 1890 and cost 100000. The
river, where it covers the Columbia
Slough, on the Oregon side, where it is
crossed by a long trestle supporting the
street-car line, presents an interesting
sight The water for nearly two miles
is within five feet of the track and IN
several places passes under the trstle
in a swift current, causing passengers
to be nervous when passing over these
places.

Golden State to Make a
Fine Showing.
COMPLETING FINAL PLANS
CONFESSIONS INSTRUCTIONS TO
EXHIBITORS.
Attempt Will Be Made to Have
Models of the Cruiser Olympia

in the Display.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Los ANGELES, June 27.-Major Ben
Truman, one of the commissioners to the
Paris Exposition, has returned from the
north, where the California commission
ers held an important session. Discuss
ing the meeting Major Truman said:
Commissioner Runyon's report was OF
special interest. He had just returned
from Chicago, where he was in consulta-
ton with Commissioner General Peck. He
had a very satisfactory account to give
of the liherality with which California is
to be treated The Golden State will be
allowed its full share of space in the
departments of horticulture agriculture,
viticulture, mining fishing, forestry, etc.
The States interests will be carefully
looked after in general way by the
United States Commissioners. Director
of Education II. J. Rogers is expected to
visit California, as are two representa-
tives of the agricultural, viticultural and
horticultural interests.
The United States will handle the ship
ping of State exhibits from New York to
Paris. In the exhibition halls all displays
must be uniform. No display can stand
over eleven feet high. TIE exhibits Will
be collective, each exhibitor, even of a
sample, will be known by the label and
receive full credit for his display. Wheat
samples will be shown in the wheat eX-
hibit, cotton in the cotton exhibit, etc.
THE United States commission will
construct the necessary cases for col
lective display Of exhibits of agricultural
and horticultural food products These
will be uniform in design. All raw prod
ucts needing preparation, as cereals, cot
ton and wool. will be sent to Washington
to be selected and prepared. All agricul-
tural and horticultural exhibits are to be
taken to Washington and Viticultural and
mining exhibits to Chicago.
AN effort will be made to secure mod
els of the cruiser Olympia and the battle
ship Oregon for the California display.
THE system of refrigeration of fresh
fruit may be exhibited during nearly all
the months of the exposition. This will
give California fruit growers great OPP
portunity. All exhibits must be in Chi
cago or Washington by September 30,
thereafter to be cared for by the COM
missioner general
The Commissioners agreed to hold the
next session on July 10. at which the
necessary appointments will be made and
the details of collecting and arranging
completed. The total appropriation of
the United States for the exhibition is
81 100 900, which accounts for the great
work of supervision and State aid. Call
fornia is looked to by the United States
Commissioner for the finest display. The
Southern Pacific Company is planning to
make a 600 display at the exposition
providing it is not asked to go to Bots de
Nincennes, located seven miles from the
fair grounds proper and useless for expo
SitiOn purposes.

levers in Wall street, although it has had
no official confirmation. Wall Street
Topics, discussing the losses incurred in
this contest by the sugar company and
its competitors, will say in it's issue to-
day:

Arbuckle Brothers and Doscher are will

make a difference of 80 cents, which was
the difference prevailing before the sugar

A NEW SHELTER
FOR SHASTA COUNTY
George Bayha, Representing a Ger
man Syndicate, Is at the Head
of the Enterprise

REDDING, June N.-There is evidence
that another great smelter is soon to be
erected in Shasta County. 1t will be built
and operated by a German syndicate.
George Bayha, formerly a bicycle manu-
facturer in Germany, is the local repre-
sentative of a number of German capital
lists. During the last three years Bayha
has filed locations on twenty-five copper
claims on Saltwater Creek, about twenty
miles from Redding
Extensive development work has been
done on these claims. Bayha secured
bonds on adjoining claims and has Just
made a payment on one bond for $50. 600
1t is proposed to erect a smelter near the
site of the claims. The syndicate has
secured options on considerable adjacent
lands. Electricity generated by water
power will be used for motive power and
for other purposes. There seems to be
every evidence that the German syndicate
Will shortly begin work of building a
smelter and a railway line eight miles in
length to connect with the Southern Pa
cific. The new smelter will double the
copper output of Shasta County.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June T.-Willlam
Goebel. who with an iron grasp has ruled
the Democratic State convention since 1t
assembled nearly a week ago, was to-
night nominated for Governor on the
twenty sixth ballot after a contest un-
paralleled in the State for bitterness and
determination on the part of the winner
or for sklllful manipulation. The end of
the long, eXhausting fight brought a rea-
sonable degree of harmony to the fac
tions, which throughout the night bat
tied for every inch Of ground. Nearly
everybody Joined heartily in a demon
straton when their candidate appeared
for the first time before the convention
to accept the nomination and return his
thanks.
The Goebel forces held the opposition
closely down to business all day, forcing
continuous balloting, defeating it when
it showed signs of weakness and sought
a sine die adjournment, compelling vote
on a proposition to drop the hindmost
man on each ballot after the twentyfifth
and came out Of the final trial of strength
shortly after 10 o'clock tonight with col
.ors flying. Stone was dropped on the
twenty-fifth ballot and Hardin proved I'M
able to control enough of the Stone votes
TO win. The scenes during the last bal
lot were dramatic, though not so eXcit-
ing as many in which the delegates had
participated.
After the nomination the convention en-
joyed a few minutes Of relaxation and
reconciliation. Speeches were made by
Congressman Wheeler, Judge Tarvin and
other managers for the three candidates
and the theme of all was: Get together
and win"
A morning session Of the convention was
held at which six fruitless ballots were
taken. After a recess until o'clock two
more ballots were taken with a result al
most exactly like the first taken Saturday
night. This made twenty-one ballots in
all the last one resulting: Stone, 39S
Hardin. 355; Goebel, 33S
Ben L. Hardin, a brother Of the candi-
date for Governor. then offered a resolu-

ton providing that the convention ad-
tourn sine die. and that the State Cen
trail Committee be empowered to take any
action necessary to place a ticket in the
field for the campaign of 1899.
The delegates were almost taken off
their feet at this point by the appearance
on the stage side by side of Captain ". J.
Stone and General P. Wat Hardin. They
did not know just what was to happen
but they saw a hope OF relief from the
strain they had been under for week
and gave the candidates welcome even
more hearty than their personal popular
ity would have called forth.
Stone spoke briefly, followed by Hardin.
Both declared they believed the interests
of the Democratic party would be best
served by the adoption of the resolution.
The chairman, however, in short
speech declared the resolution out of or
der and refused to recognize an appeal;
The twenty-second ballot showed the
effect of the adjournment resolution in
disintegrating the, .Stone-Hardin forces
Stone lost about thirty votes.
At this point E. A. Cullion offered
resolution providing that after the TWEEN
ty-fifth ballot the hindmost candidate be
dropped and not voted for thereafter. The
Stone and Hardin leaders made another
stand. but they could not control their
forces. The resolution was adopted by
a vote of 572 to $40, and at o'clock the
twenty-third ballot was ordered. The re-
suit: Stone $50, Hardin 346, Goebel 361,
John Young Brown 10, Judge Hazelrigg IA
scattering 10.
Twenty-fourth ballot-Stone $50, Hardin
961. Goebel 1853.
Under the resolution adopted by the con-
vention. Captain w. J. Stone, having re-
ceived the smallest number of votes was
dropped and the next ballot was begun.
1t was concluded with difficulty and an
nOunced as follows: Goebel $50; Hardin 531
This provoked as much noise as any
event of the convention, and for the first
time nearly all the delegates joined in It,
Mr.. Goebel was INTRODUCED and made a
short speech of thanks. When the speech
making was concluded the convention was
adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning, when the ticket will be com
pleted.

Until After the Fourth.

CARSON CITY, June Ex-Governor Sad

him in this county and Mcmillan won no

eleven. Mcmillan will probably gain one
