MRS. LOUISA TODD
To be Sent Back to the
Settlement.
Commissioner Powder iy So Rules
Mrs. TOdd's History and Travels
Since She Left MoIokai.

WASHINGTON. August pa case
of unusual interest in connection with
immigration matters has been settled
by Commissioner Powderly. 1t is that
of Mrs. L. NJ. Todd a British subject,
who is now in the San Francisco pest
house, suffering from leprosy She con-
tracted the disease in 1892 while work
ing as nurse in the San Francisco
pesthouse. Some of her washing went
to lepers 10 be done, and a Chinese lep-
er used 10 bring coal for her. Thirteen
months after this, while in San Fran
cisco, uspicious-Iooking spots APP
peared on the left leg.
After contracting the disease she
went TO the Hawaiian Islands and re-
manned there until November IS, 1898,
when she left TO attempt to reach the
United States. She took passage at
Honolulu for Japan, whence she
shipped to Victoria, B. c., thence COM
ing across the border of the United
States, reaching San Francisco De-
cember %, avoiding the Marine HOspi-
tai examination at that point. Her
condition and the story of her case was
discovered by the immigration Inspect
or at San Francisco. He took the mat
ter up, with the result that specialist
made a new examination of the wom-
an, finding that she is badly diseased.
Commissioner Powderly has ordered
that Mrs. Todd, who is a widow, be
sent back to the Hawaiian Islands and
confined in the leper colony there. He
has given the case much study, with
a view of finding if she could be turned
over to the British or Canadian au
thorities. but he does not desire to
send her into British territory and put
innocent people in danger.
In this connection, Commissioner
Powderly says that the leper colony in
the Hawaiian Islands is not closely
guarded and that the situation is some
what dangerous. He has no power to
send immigrant inspectors there, and
says the whole matter will have to be
regulated by Congress. There is no
place to keep her in this country. I'm
migration inspectors sent out by Com
missioner POwderly have recently re-
ported it as their belief that a colony
of lepers exists on the border of Can
ada and this country, in the northern
part of Washington. They do not live
together, as that would attract atten-
ton and cause them to be separated,
but they live in the same neighbour
hood and have an association for mu-
tual defense and protection.

A HONOLULU MAN
Talks of Doan's Backache kidney
Dill

When an incident like the following
occurs here at home it is bound tC
carry weight with our readers. The
public statement of reputable citizen
living in this city leaves no ground
for the skeptic to stand on.
Mr.. James c. Stevens, of this city
informs us: 4 was troubled with an
Iache in the small of my back for long
time, and such was the condition OF
things until l tried some of Doans
Backache Kidney Pills, which l OBJ
tanned at the Hollister Drug Co s
store. \ short treatment gave me the
desired relief, and | am satisfied that
they are a good remedy for backache
and deserve to be recommended.
Mr.. Stevens is one of our own cit
liens. Is not such testimony stronger
than that of someone living in Amer
lea?
Does your back or side ache so that
it is hard to stand straight? Do you
have headaches, nervousness, frequent
thirst, hot dry skin, or shortness of
breath? Evil forebodings, or unsettled
sleep? Are yous eyelids distended or
feet and ankles swollen and have you
IOSC HeSn! Are the SecretlOnS from the
kidneys thick, dark colored, and do
they deposit a sediment? Kidney dis
ease is insidiOus and if you have any
of these symptoms you should treat
them at once. Delay may mean you
can't be cured
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and storekeepers
at 90 cents per box, six boxes 81 so, or
will be mailed on receipt of price by
the Hollister Drug Co, Honolulu
wholesale agents for the Hawaiian
Islands.

CATTLEMEN INJURED.
Federal Laws, Without State Co
Operation, Are an Evil.

Government Inspector Bremen, a vet
Urinary employed in the quarantine
service of the United States, and at
present in charge of all the territory
west of the Mississippi. has just re-
turned to Sacramento from a trip
throughout this State and Nevada
Speaking Of the condition Of the cattle
of this State and on matters akin to
Record Union reporter: There is
very little, if any, anthrax in this
State at present, and the Texas fever
is not spreading much; but there is a
matter that is doing the State harm"
What is that?" was asked.
1T is the fact that the State has not
established quarantine lines within its
own boundaries
How does that affect the State, since
there is a Federal line already" was
asked.
well, I'll illustrate by recitingi case
in point. I met man a day or two
ago who has 100 cattle that he wants
to send to grass in Nevada. There are
doubtless thousands of such cases
Well, he cannot send his cattle away,
for the reason that the entire State is
quarantined by the Federal Govern
ment. If there were State lines. the
General Government would respect
them, and the men who have cattle
outside of those lines could ship them
Such lines could be established at small
cost, and they would benefit the State
I believes there are some bills before the
Legislature now which look to estab-
fishing State lines"

gate place. at Wailtown, eight miles
southeast of Folsom, brought into town
TWO very fine quartz specimens filled
with gold and left them at p. G. COINS
grocery store on exhibition. The gold
in the quartz is in leaf form mostly,
intermingled with more or less wire
gold, taking on fantastic shapes, and
the quartz is literally bespangled with
the yellow metal.
The shaft Is down only twelve feet.
and the extent OF the pocket, or possibly
a chimney, is not known. The shot
that disengaged the above specimens
knocked out fully tubful Of the rich
quartz.
We feel satisfied that there are yet
millions of gold for the enterprising
miner in this vicinity. AS yet the sur
face has hardly been SKINNED off, and
the quartz veins have not been exploit
ed. Overlying vast areai around Fol-
som is a volcanic Gaping, underneath
which the miner has not yet ventured.
Stories are afloat that in early days
a few miners penetrated this volcanic
Gaping and found the bedrock under
meath very rich in gold, but the volume
of water encountered was too great to
handle, and the claims were abandoned.
THE ZENTGRAF.
The Zentgraf mine has proven wor-
thy or additional improvements, and
the owners thereof have recently erect
ed commodlious boarding house cost
ing about $500. Now five stamps are
being added to the mill. making TWEEN
ty-five in all.
The main shaft is down 900 feet, and
the drifts from the 500 to the 900 levels
are at present being extended, and the
ore taken therefrom is the only rock
being milled, owing to the temporary
shutting down of the mill, pending the
enlargement. When the ore bin is
filled, however. the mill Is run long
enough to empty it,
The temporary shutting down Of the
mill has thrown fifteen miners out of
employment, but upon the completion
of the new work a larger force Will be
employed.

A VERDICT AT LAST.
Oppenheimer Convicted of Murder
ing Charles Ross.

After celebrating for twenty-three
hours. the jury in the Oppenheimer
murder case returned to the courtroom
and 4:1O O'Clock yesterday and re-
turned a verdict of murder in the sec
ond degree.
For hong while the jury stood ten
to two for conviction of murder in the
first degree. Then, after some thirteen
hours of wrangling, one of the minority
gave in, making eleven to one for MUIR
der in the first degree. That one man
held out, however, until the eleven
stubborn men gave in and an agree
ment was reached to call it murder in
the second degree.
On the last day of September Jacob
Oppenheimer, serving a fifty-year term
in the Folsom prison for the killing of
a man in one of the southern counties,
brutally murdered Charles Ross, an
other convict, just as the prisoners
We're being lined up to proceed to the
dining room for their early supper. The
murderer grasped his victim by the
coat with one hand while with the
other he stabbed him several times
With dagger he had made from a file.
Several of the guards and convicts
who saw the murder committed testi-
fled that Ross had no weapon, but
Brady, the train-robber and a few 9TH
ers sought in their testimony to make
it appear that Ross was the aggressor.
Brady testified that he picked up a
knife which Ross was said to have at
tempted to use, and that he hid it
among some sacks near the prison. He
led the officers to where there was a
knife. sure enough. but there is every
reason to believes he had placed it there
for that or some ether and worse pur-
pose.
At all events, the jury does not appear
to have placed much credence in
Brady's story.
