Tomorrow is the closing day of the
congress. The committee on nomina-
ton will report to the convention their
recommendation of nine members for
the board of directors for the ensuing

it is believed that the convention will
also recommend to the directors their
choice for president and secretary. For
the former place only the name Of J.
H. Richards of Idaho, incumbent, is
mentioned. For the secretaryship r.

that he will not be candidate and the
only avowed candidate for the place
is Philip s. Bates of Oregon.

1t is much easier for a woman to conhde
in the average man than in the average
woman. She knows that the man will re-
spect her condolences and keep them to
himself. He is strong, has more experience
of the world and can help the woman who
needs advice. There is every reason why
women should not trust their delicate
constitutions in the hands Of unskilled
persons. 1t requires a thorough medical
education to appreciate and understand
the womanly organism. When a woman
has ills and pains that she cannot bear
when life seems dark for every woman.
she should confde her troubles to a
physician of standing in the community,
or one who has national reputation. Ger
tainly il would not be the part Of wisdom
TO contide IN an ignorant person without
medical education simply because she was

this afternoon, and the nominee has
the ability and resources for a vigor-
Gus campaign on his own behalf. Re
cent political events have signified his
popularity in Santa Clara County and
he will surely hold the full measure of
the party strength in San Mateo
County.
The nomination of Duncan E. Nc
Kinlay for Congress in the Second Dis
trict is highly commended. He deserves
the support Of every Republican in the
district on account of the excellent
service that he has rendered to the
people of California in general and the
Republican party in particular. The
citizens of Sacramento County are
elated over his nomination. as they
comprehend that his vigorous intellect
and persuasive personality will enable
him to accomplish something in Con-
gress for the benefit of the Sacramento
Valley. 1t is remarked that the only
legislation obtained by the present
Democratic Representative of the Sec
ond District was an amendment abol-
ishing the canteen at the Veterans
Home. Every county Of the Second
District was fully and ably represented
in the Republican Congressional Con-
vention that nominated Duncan Nc
Kinlay. In the Democratic Congress-
ional Convention of the Second held
here last Tuesday the county of Marin
was not represented at all and only
few delegates from other counties
attended. AS conclusive proof that the
Democratic Convention of the Second
District was a small affair the fact
is cited that it was held in the ladies'
parlor of the ST. George Hotel, Santa
Cruz
Nearly all the delegates to the Re
publican State Convention and all the
known Senatorial aspirants left Santa
| Cruz for their respective homes this
afternoon. Frank P. Flint goes to
Los Angeles and George A. Knight and
Henry T. Oxnard go to San Francisco.
The executive committee and the
new advisory committee of the Re-
publican, State Committee held ses-
sion at the st. George Hotel this after
noon and topics relating to registration
were fully considered. General George
Stone presided at the meeting.

SWIMMER DIES
IN RESERVOIR
Athlete Is Drowned While
Giving Young Lady a Les
son in NatatOrial Skill
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Aug. 26.-Fred Carpenter.
patrolman Of the San Joaquin Com
pany's reservoir and ditch at North
Fork, was drowned this afternoon
while teaching Miss Helen Dowie TO
swim.
Carpenter was an expert swimmer
and during the summer, when outing
parties stop at the powerhouse for a
few days on their trip, the principal
sport is swimming in the lake at the
head OF the reservoir. Carpenter al
ways volunteered his services and was
such a trusted man in the water that
none feared 10 go into deep water with
him.
Miss Dowie, another young lady and
George Marty were enjoying the cool
waters. the girls taking lessons from
Carpenter. He and Miss Dowie were
out in the deep water when Carpenter
was seized by a cramp and went to the
bottom Although Miss Dowie had
never swum a stroke in her life, she
managed TO keep herself above the sur
face while Marty obtained a boat and
rescued her.
Help came from the powerhouse and
the party searched three hours before
il found the body OF Carpenter, which
eventually appeared on the opposite
side Of the lake
That Carpenter should have been at
tackled by a cramp and sink was a
surprise to all. but how Miss Dowie
saved herself is a still greater cause
for wonder.
Deputy Coroner W. A. Bean left to-
day for the scene.

In Washington one day Senator
8 Hoar met an acquaintance who
stopped to inform him that a very
dear friend was seriously i'll with ap-
pendicitis. Senator Hoar was very
solicitious and determined to write a
note of sympathy at once. He had
hardly finished the note before word
came to him that his friend was i'll
with acute indigestion instead of ap-
pendicitis. Senator Hoar tore up the
first note and sent the following in
its place: 4 am very sorry to hear
that you are i'll. but am glad that the
trouble is with the table of contents
rather than with the appendix
