PLANS TO SECURE A
BIG CONVENTION
EPWORTH LEAGUERS HAVE
TAKEN ACTION.
Committee Appointed With Full
Power to Act and to Raise
$4,000.

Definite steps were taken on Friday to
bring the International Epworth League
assembly to San Francisco in 1901. AT
the conference of delegates from the
various Methodist Episcopal churches of
this city and from the Epworth League
alliances of San Francisco and the neigh
boring counties committee of five was
selected to nominate a committee Of five
TO do the preliminary work toward Sc
curing the international assembly two
years hence. The nominating committee
consisted of Rev. ]. n. Beard, Rev. w.
w. Case. Rev. A. T. Needham, l. j. Tru-
man and B. L. Weymouth. They ap-
pointed the following as a committee to
secure the assembly of 1901: Rev Thomas
Filben. c. B. Perkins, Robert Husband,
Miss Sarah Powell and ]. R. Waste. This
committee was authorized to appoint sub
committees from the various county or
ganizations of the Epworth League to
co-operate with ii. Delegates were also
appointed to visit the different Epworth
leagues and interest them in the prelim-
mary work.
1t is proposed to cooperate with a sep
arate committee from the southern part
of of the State of the same kind as that
organized last night to raise S25,000 and
send a delegation to Indianapolis to pre-
sent the claims of San Francisco. The
Epworth League assembly will be held
in that city next August. Should San
Francisco secure the next assembly to
be held it is believed that the influx of
visitors will be as great, If not greater,
than it was during the Christian Endea-
VOr convention of 1897.

A HUNDRED REASONS

Can be given why Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
cure for every form of indigestion.
They are in the tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities indefinitely,
while liquid preparations become stale
and useless with age
They are convenient, can be carried in
the pocket and taken when needed. They
are pleasant to take
After each meal dissolve one or two
of them in the mouth. and. mingling with
the food, they constitute a perfect diges-
tive. absolutely safe for the most sensi-
tive stomach.
They digest the food before it has time
to ferment, thus preventing the forma-
ton of gas and keeping the blood. pure
and free from the poisonous products of
fermented, half-digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure
OF stomach troubles and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy; the successful
physician of to-day is the specialist, the
successful medicine is the medicine pre-
pared especially for one disease.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
A whole package taken at one time
would not hurt one, but would simply
be a waste of good material.
Over six thousand men and women in
the State of Michigan alone have been
cured of indigestion and dyspepsia bv
the use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.

THE FORESTRY
COMMISSION

To the Editor of The Call: Your in
formant of the action of the Waters
and Forests Society was somewhat at
fault in the statement that in the ap-
pointment by that body of commissions
ers of irrigation and forestry it was
driven to that action by the Governors
veto of bills to secure the same end.
Two bills were introduced by the
Waters and Forests Society and both
had the hearty support and approval
every effort to secure their timely pas
sage. Both passed the House and the
bill for an irrigation commissioner
passed the Senate, but did not reach
the Governor until after final adjourn
ment. AS it carried an appropriation
which would undoubtedly be held up
by the State officers for nom fulfillment
Of the constitutional requirement its
passage was effective. 1t was not
vetoed by the Governor, but was con-
stitutionally dead before it reached him.
The forestry commission bill died on
the Senate file.
This failure is much to be regretted,
but it's harm may be minimized by the
action of the society in filling the gap
1t is expected that the irrigation COM
missioner 1t has appointed will have
access 10 the llIOl Llutloti ~ PCsseSSloh
of the United States Geological Survey
and the benefit of conference with Mr.
Newell, in charge of the photographic
work of that survey. 1t is known that
the forestry commission will at once
secure the assistance of Mr.. Clifford
Pinchot, the expert forester in charge
of the forestry division of the Agricul-
tural Department. The reports Of these
commissioners to the next Legislature
will form adequate basis for the re-
quired legislation. The Waters and
Forests Society needs active and ma
terial support. Single memberships are
IS, and organized bodies are entitled to
one member for each S. they contribute
The subject is of such far-reaching i'm
portance that the society should soon
be equipped with ample means for it's
work. Very truly,
JOHN p. IRISH.

THREATS OF MURDER MAR A ROMANCE.

with rage and swore the wedding
should never take place. After he had
worked himself into a proper frenzy
he started out to find Barner. The lat
ter is the proprietor of a grocery
at the corner Of Laguna and Fill
bert streets, but the courageous par
ent did not seek him there, neither
did he look for him at his home, but
8 o'clock Friday morning found
him keeping vigil in front Of the Wre-
den residence, where his daughter is
employed. An hour or two later Fred
ericks intercepted a member of the
Wreden family as he was leaving the
house and informed him that he was
looking for his daughter to shoot her.
She shall never leave that house
alive" he is reported to have declared.
Miss Fredericks was warned to re-
main indoors and did not venture from
the house all day as her father re-
matned in the neighborhood and she
feared he might execute his threat
Ehe Wredens advised her to have her
father arrested, and although 10th to
do so she finally decided that there
was no other safe course to pursue
Accordingly Miss F'redericks appeared
before Police Judge Conlan shortly be-
fore noon yesterday and swore to a
complaint charging her father with
threatening to kill her.
a warrant for Fredericks' arrest was
promptly issued and placed in the
hands of Officer w. H. Irvine. The officer
found Fredericks at the corner of SUIT
ter and Sansome streets, wnere his ex-
press wagon stands, and took him to
the California-street station He was
later in the afternoon removed to the
City Prison and locked up in the tanks,
his bonds being fixed at $1200 or $500
cash bail. Miss Fredericks and Barner
were at the California-street station a
few minutes after the girls father
was brought in. In some way the pris-
oner learned that his daughter was
there and sent up a request for her to
come downstairs, as he wished to see
her, but she ignored tne request.
why should I see him?" she said.

six months"
A moment later she half relented.
IT don't want to send him to jail
she said, "but what can 1 do? l am
afraid he will make good his threat If
he is allowed his liberty. We are to be
married next Wednesday evening. and
intend to keep him in Jail until after
the wedding If possible"
Miss Fredericks is tall and slim,
with a wealth Of auburn hair, blue
eyes and a fair complexion. She is
well educated, and her character is
above reproach. The Wredens give
her an excellent reputation and have
championed her cause all through the
trouble in which her love affair has
involved her. The young couple have
furnished a neat fiat over the grocery.
The furniture is paid for, and they will
go to housekeeping as soon as the mar
rtage ceremony is performed.
Fredericks denies that he threatened
his daughter and says he cannot i'm
agine why she should have him arrest
ed. He admits that he is opposed to
her marrying Barner, but the only OBJ
lection to his future son-in-law he
could think of was that he smoked
cigarettes. The expressnan took his
arrest lightly at first, and claimed he
would soon be at liberty. He sent mes
sages to a number of friends, includ-
ing a number of bankers, asking them
to go on his bond; but as the afternoon
wore on and they failed to come to his
relief his confidence began to evapor-
ate, and by nightfall he was in a de-
cidedly uncomfortable frame of mind
He claims to be worth SIS 900, consist
ing of the property where he lives and
the adjoining house. The property
stands in the name Of his wife, how
ever, as the result, so his daughter
says. Of his tendency to drink and
make trouble. She says this is not
the first time he has been behind ,
prison bars. and in reply to his denial
of her charge declares he has made
threats against her life so openly and
recklessly that she will have no trouble
in proving her allegation. ,

ACOB fREDEhlChS, an eX-
pressman, residing at 1912 Steiner
street, has become involved in a
ri peck of trouble through his ef-
~ forts to prevent the marriage of
his daughter Theresa to the man
, of her choice. Although the young
woman is 21 years old and amply
qualified to make her own choice Of
husband, Fredericks was 10th to ad-
nit that she chose wisely or well. He
does not like Charles Barner, the
bridegroom -to-be, and informed his
, daughter of the fact some time ago,
at the same time ordering her TO cast
him off. This the girl fatty refused to
do. and the irate parent, finding his
, remonstrances failed to produce the
, required effect, changed his tactics and
, threatened to prevent the wedding by
numbering his offspring. In conse-
quence of his bloodthrsty and ILL
judged threat Fredericks suddenly
found himself behind prison bars,
, there to ruminate on the futility Of
opposing his weak will to the mach
nations of Cupid.
Fredericks' arrest was the climax
, of a series of events extending over
a period of nearly year. During that
time his daughter has been employed
as a domestic in the house of Claus
Wreden. 211S Taylor street, proprie-
tor of the Washington brewery. Dur
, ing all this time Barner and Miss
Fredericks We're engaged to be mar
ried and Fredericks has made the life
of both miserable by his annoying
persecution. He had way of follow

steps of places they visited, but al
though Barner is a small, inoffensive
looking man, Fredericks never sue
ceeded in mastering up sufficient cour-
, age TO tell him that he was persona
non grata at the Fredericks home.
Thursday afternoon the young
couple visited the marriage license Of
flee and Cupid Danforth furnished
, them with legal permit to wed.
