gently, yet effectually, and giving
such tone and strength to the glands
of the stomach, liver and bowels

of ending his life. Mrs. Walters did
not want any funerals around the
place, so she promptly notified the po-
lice. An officer was detailed to look
up the matter. He found that the

containing a small quantity, each of
strychniJie, and was feeling pretty
feverish as n result. DIR. Bowman was

Schwartz Testifies About St.
Louis Naturalization Frauds.

st. Louis, Mo-. Nov. AT the trial
today of Adolph Fein, Ferdinand
Schwartz. second vice president of the
Hebrew Jefferson club, told the part
that he had played, he said. at the in
stigation of Fem. first vice president
of the club, in the naturalization
frauds.
Schwartz said he was one of about
600 men who were taken to the court
of appeals room to be naturalized on
October 6, 1902, and that all of them
were under instructions from Fien and
other officers and directors of the
Hebrew Jefferson club to do as they
cd.
Schwartz said that he was not en-
titled to naturalization papers, but
that he was persuaded to aD0ly for
them at the instigation of Fem.
Frank Hecht, third vice president Of
the club. testified that Fem had per-
suaded him to take out fraudulent
papers and then later had taken both
the papers and the grand jury sum-
mons from him.

MARYLAND.

Baltimore. Nov. 4-The returns this
morning from 254 precincts of the 30S
in Baltimore city have been counted,
and these show a majority of 1892 for
Edwin Warf1eld. Democratic candidate
for governor. 1t is quite certain that
the returns from the remaining 81 pre-
cincts will increase this lead. Com
plete returns have not been recaived
from any one of the MARYLAND coun-
ties. but the returns received indicate
that there will be a Democratic ma
joritv of 1000 in the counties and that
Warfields plurality in the city and
county will probably reach 1000. The
Democrats in Baltimore city elect their
entire local ticket. including three SUI
preme judges, three orphans court
judges. court clerks and sheriff. Chief
Judge MeSherry of the court of appeals
is reelected.
The Democrats have elected a sub
stantial majority of. the legislature,
thus insuring a Democratic successor
to L. S. Senator McComas.
The unprecedented delay in counting
the returns is due to the extraordinary
large size of the ticket and to the cleo
ton law which requires voters to mark
cross opposite each name voted for.

What Leavenworth Whisky Did
for q Hunter.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov 4.-Alfred
Persch, a coal miner residing at No.

but was unfortunate in not getting any.
He brooded over his failure greatly; so
much SO that he stopped in at a drink
dispensary and he took on some of that
which makes hunters see all kinds of
ducks, no matter what time of the day
or night it is. This was about 1890
o'clock at night and Persch then start
ed for home.
way he ran into Cor thought he did a
big flock of ducks-blue wings, NAL
lards, pin tails-in fact every kind of
duck known to the ornithologist.
Persch had both barrels of his gun
loaded as heavily as he was and he
pulled both triggers. All kinds of i'm
aginary ducks dropped and he scooped
them up in his arms and passed on.
At Eighth and Pawnee streets he
came upon the same flock and dropping
his arnful of ducks, let go with both
barrels again with the same result; all
kinds of imaginary ducks fell With
coat pockets and arms loaded down he
started on again toward home. At
Ninth and Pawnee, strange to relate. ne
met the same flock of ducks, with just
as many in it as there were the first
time he came upon it. Again he fired
and was preparing to go for an express
wagon to haul his game home when
Officer O'Leary appeared on the scene
and spoiled his beautiful dream.
Perch was placed under arrest, but
his trial was not held yesterday morning
because he had to go to the coal mine
to see about his room. 1t is thought he
will have his trial in police court this
morning.
The shooting aroused the entire north
west portion of the city.

NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. Anew York state
yesterday gave a majority of nearly
$50, 900 in favor of the proposition that
the state shall spend 00.000,000 for inn
proving its canals.
The plan is to widen and deepen the
Erie canal so that it will accommodate
barges of 900 tons carrying capacity
and to improve the Oswego and Cham
plain canals. Under the law the state
will be allowed to issue not more than
$40, 900, 900 canal bonds at any time and
the first issue must cover the work for
two years. The bonds are to run for
not more than Is years.
The advocates of the proposition de-
clare that. canal improvements are
necessary for the rehabilitation or the
commercial supremacy of the state I'm
less the state canals are widened and
deepened, they asserted it would be but q
short time before the railroads would be
able to make such transportation rates
as they might see fit and that New York
city would be Disseminated against.
