Russia in closing the ports Of
Manchuria against Japan for the
export of wheat. Although the
expectation of whea, from these
ports has been for den, for a
long time no attention has been
paid to the law with the result
that japan has depended almost
solely upon China for its supply
of this grain. The action of Rus
STA is said to be due TO a desire
to cut off the preparations for
war which Japan 10 supposed to
be making. However that may

the American farmer to note is

ANl ENDS LIFE
Boer War Veteran Com
mits3 Suicide in a
Police Station.
Soldier Wounded Eleven
Times Dies by His
Own Hand.
Spec al Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 10-A sur
prising suicide occurred here to-day, the
victim of his own rash act being Police
Constable a. o. Lohnann, who was ser
geant in charge of the first British Co
lumbia contingent of volunteers, who
went to Africa three years ago to fight
the Beers.
Lohmann was last night accused by
Chief Of Police Colin Campbell with hav-
ing forged the latter's name to a check
for $50, and Lohmann, brooding over his
trouble, decided to end his life. He was
left in a room at police headquarters,
and a special constable named MacPher
son was detailed to sleep with him.
The two lay on the same bed when
early this morning Lohmann arose, ap-
parently to get a cigarette. He returned
to bed and, unknown to Macpherson,
brought his own revolver. Macpherson
was just going to sleep when the gun
went off a few inches from his ear and
he found that Lohmann had shot himself
through the head. The injured man died
in an hour. In his pocket was found a
letter addressed to his sister, Mrs. Ada
Reichers, 1872 Van Ness avenue, San Fran
cisco. In it he said it would be the last
letter she would ever receive, and de-
clared that he would not further disgrace
the family.
At Paardeberg Lohmann was struck by
no less than eight Boer bullets. lie had
eleven wounds altogether in the war, and
several times his life was despaired Of
In the hospital he was given cocaine and
he never entirely shook off the habit
Lately he drank hard and that was the
cause which led to his troubles.

REDDING, Jan. 10.-A big strike OF ex-
ceedingly rich copper ore has just been
made in the Blue Jay mine, owned by
Sutton & LesNing, and located in the
old diggings district between three and
four miles north OF Redding
This claim was discovered by the own
ers about year ago and considerable
gold has been taken out. They have now
encountered ledge Of the prettiest cop
per ore yet seen east Of the river Sam

per ore is two and a half feet wide at
the surface and can be traced for fully
a thousand feet. a shaft has been sunk
on the ledge and now at a depth Of nearly
a hundred feet the ledge is wider and the
ore richer than at the top.
The owners are confident they have a
bonanza and will make arrangements to
have the property developed on an exten-
sive scale. The mine is within two and
a-half miles of the Keswick smelter and
unless a small smelter is placed on the
itself the ore can be shipped to

ADVERTISEMENTS.
HOW TO DRINK MILK.

Why It Disagrees With Some People
When one needs a reviving stimulant
after exhaustion nothing can rival the ef-
fects of hot milk slipped slowly.
Some people say they cannot digest
milk. and these are the people who drink
it down quickly. so that the digestive
acids in playing around It form large
curds, which give trouble before they can
be absorbed.
The right way is to sip the milk in
small amounts, so that each mouthful as
it descends into the stomach is surround
ed by the gastric fluid, and when the
whole glassful is down the effect is that
of a spongy mass of curds, in and out Of
which the keen gastric juices course,
speedily doing their work of turning the
Curd into peptones that the tissues can
take up.
To make sure of complete digestion
take one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets afterward. as the pepsin and .dia-
stase they contain increase the quantity
and efficiency g the gastric juices and
supply the natural digestive ferments
which all weak stomachs lack.
Miss Anna Folger, a professional nurse,
speaking of the value of Stuart's Tablets
in conyalescence says: I'm adult patients
recovering from severe illness. and espe-
cially in children where milk disa grees.
one or two tablets overcome any difficulty
and seem to strengthen the stomach In
remarkably short time. | myself have
used them daily for years when my own
digestion has suffered from the irregulari-
tias and loss of sleep consequent upon
my occupation.
Not only children and invalids. but
professional people and others whose
meals are necessarily hurried or irregular
Will find Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets OF
the greatest value in keeping up the tone
and digestive vigor of the stomach.
They contain the active digestive fer
ments the lack of which is really the only
cause of indigestion and stomach trou
bles and the regular daily use of them
after meals will probably cure any case
OF stomach trouble except such as arises
| from cancer or liberation.
Many druggists have said that they sci
more Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets than al
other stomach remedies combined.

INSANE INMATES
SLEEP ON FLOORS
Grand Jury Finds Amaz-
ing Conditions at
Patton.
State Institution in South
Overcrowed With Pa
tients.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 10-The
Grand Jury of San Bernardino County,
which is at present in session in this city,
has just returned from a thorough in
spection of the Southern California Hos
pital for the Insane, located at Patton
eight miles northeast of here.
The object of the visit was to gather.
material with which the State Legisla-,
ture might be forced ito take immediate
note of the need of the institution for
greater appropriations. The report of
the jury has not yet been made, but it is
expected that the document will border
on the sensational and that the legisla-
tors will be blamed for the deplorable
conditions surrounding the inebriate and
demented charges of the State.
The really scandalous state Of affairs,
which is due solely to inadequate funds,
has long been known to residents or this
section, but the official reports made have
not been given much publicity, and knowl-
edge of the overcrowded condition has
consequently been limited. From the day
the institution opened its doors it has
contained more patients than it was in
tended to accommodate. At present there
are about $50 inmates, and OF this num-
Der over 100 are compelled TO sleep on the
floors. Fifty of the bedless unfortunates
are women.
The new wing. which is almost ready
for occupancy, will be used entirely for
women and will be forced to house 1870
of them, about double the number 1t was
built to accommodate. The medical di-
rector and his assistants, as well as the
clerical force, are inconveniently quar-
tered in rooms intended for patients and
there IS urgent need of the immediate
erection of a central or administration
building.
In going through the wards and mess
rooms the members of the Grand Jury
were impressed with the comparative
quiet and with the discipline maintained
With only handful of apparently pas
sive attendants in sight 400 wild-eyed men

Estate Left by Late
Pinnnar

SANTA ROSA, Jan. 1O.-In an action
begun here to-day Mrs. Becca Irwin of
Missouri brings suit to have the recent

had not seen him for almost fifty years
previous to his death.
Irwin was a well-known pioneer and for
years resided near Stewarts Point, where
he left a wife and family. The conten-
tion of the complainant is that she was
deserted when Irwin came to California,
although she says they corresponded for
thirty years. The deceased left consid-
