Seventh Ward. ..... Matt Flynn
Ninth Ward. Philip S. Driver
The Republican City Convention
which met at the Old Pavilion last
night was harmonious throughout. For
general city officers there was but one
contest, that between A. L. Frost, the
present incumbent, and J. NJ. Avery,
for nomination for the office of City
Treasurer, and on the roll call Mr..
Frost was re-nominated with only a
few votes to spare.
In the Eighth Ward nothing had been
agreed upon, while all other wards
had caucused prior to the assembling
of the convention, and were ready to
report their nominees when called
upon.
The battle in the Eighth Ward was
between G. E. Hook and NJ. n. Win
ans for the nomination for City Trus-
tee, and the former finally won out by
a vote of Is to II.

mentioned as candidate for Mayor. was

AT 7:40 the convention was called to
order by w. NJ. Sims, Chairman OF the
Republican City Central Committee.

ing of the list of accredited delegates
elected at the primaries held Septem-
Der 26th. Secretary Smith began
reading the list of names, but on mo-
tien Of Elwood Bruner, further read
ing was dispensed with and the list as
sent in by the clerk of the Board Of
Trustees, was accepted as delegates Of
the convention.
Nominations for Chairman being in
order, NJ. J. Curtis in brief speech
named Professor E. c. Atkinson, and
he was unanimously elected, and es-
corted to the platform by NJ. ]. Cur

Professor Atkinson in accepting the
honor, said that Sacramento needed
men Of heart and brain-strong men
men who will stand like Roman senti-
nels at the post of duty, and he be-
IeYed such men could be found in the
ranks of the Republican party. The
Republican party, he said, has educat-
ed the poor mans children, put bread
into their mouths and made them the
equal of any in the land. Sacramento.

How Mrs. Pinkham
HELPED MRS. GOODEN.
LETTER TO MRS. P1NxHAM NO. 1881


81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone l felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.
tThe first remark that greets me
now is How much betteryou look! and
you may be sure never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health. Mrs. E. j.

ON LOOKOUT FOR METeORS
Astronomers of Yerl<es Observatory
Prepared for Appearance of Luz
minous Bodies Due Next Sunday.

WILLIAMS BAY, Wis. Nov. 10-The as
tronomers OF the Yerkes observatory are
already ON the lookout for meteors, al
though none of the leonides is expected be-
fore Sunday morning.
The twenty four-inch rejecting tele-
scope, which has just been completed in
the instrument shop Of the observatory,
has been set up temporarily on the roof
Of the building. 1t is supplied with tenn
porary equatorial mounting, which has
been tested and found to work satisiac-
torly. Sixteen Photographic cameras are
being prepared with apertures varying in
size from two to six inches.
They are to be attached to the mounting
of the telescope in such way as to cover
as much as possible OF the sky where the
meteors are expected to appear. 1t is
hoped that large number Of meteor pho
tographs will be secured and the position
of the radiant determined with greater
accuracy than ever before.
Prof. Barnard considers from 2 to 5
O'Clock in the morning OF November Is
the most favorable time for making OBJ
servations of the meteors.

MINERALS IN PHILIPPINES
Very Little Gold. but Rich Copper
Deposits and There Are Great
Quantities of Fuel.

WASHINGTON Nov. 10-In a report TO
the Interior department on the geology of
the Philippine Islands Mr.. Becker of the
geological survey gives some interesting
Information regarding the mineral re.
sources of the group. Mr.. Becker says, while
gold exists In both Luzon and Mindinao, 1t
is comparable rather to that cf the Caro-.
lnas and Virginia than to the western
goldfeds OF the United States and rush
to the Philippine fields, he predicts, would
result in disappointment The report says:
THE copper deposits of Lepanto seem
rich and extensive. but very expensive roads
will be needed to render them available.
The high quality Of some of the iron ores
of Luzon is beyond question, but the Ignite
of the islands is not adapted to iron smelt-
ing. The so-called coal is good Ignite.
Its heating effect is from two thirds to
three quarters of that of the best steaming
coal. There are great quantities of this
fuel and much of it probably could be de-
livered at profit on vessels at $3.50, Mex
