GIVES JUDGMENT
IN HYNES' FAVOR
Judge SlOsS Decides That
Farnham Is. No Longer
= the Public Administrator

M. ]. Hynes Is entitled to the ONCE
Of Public Administrator to which he
was elected last November. Judge
Sloss decided yesterday that his claims
to the Office were valid and refused TO
issue an injunction restraining Hynes
from taking possession of the office
The injunction was sought by John
Farnham, Hvnes' predecessor. who set
up the claim that Hynes could not sue
ceed him because he had not properly
qualified.
Judge SlOss' opinion is a very short
one. He does not go into the question
of whether a Public Administrator
shall hold Office for four years SIe
says, in referring to Hynes' contention.
that Farnham had no rights In the
premises; that the. former Public Ad-
ministrator on January s, gave UP the
Office and for a week after Hynes took
possession did nothing that would in
dicate that he intended contesting his
successors claim.
He further says that Hynes properly
qualified and based his claim to the
office on valid certificate of election.
"Hynes." says Judge Sloss. lis enti-
tied to the Office because of his better
apparent legal right. The law provides
that where there is a contest over an
office the one making this showing
shall be declared the de facto officer"

TWO MURDERERS MUST.
DIE ON THE SCAFFOLD
Supreme Court Holds That Uxoricide
Zeigler and Chinese Highbinder
Received just Sentences.

Amos X. Zeigler and ing Ting Bow
must die on the scaffold. at San Quen-
tin, according to decisions rendered by
the Supreme Court yesterday. OF the
many arguments advanced in behalf
of each none was deemed of sufficient
Importance TO warrant a reversal.
Zeigler killed his wife with a butch
er knife in a peculiarly atrocious man
ner at Doyle's Gulch, Santa Cruz
County. on August. 6. 1900. He was
tried. found guilty and sentenced to
life Imprisonment at San Quentin. He
appealed and was granted a new trial
by the Supreme Court. At the second
trial Zeigler was given the death SEN
tence and appealed again, but to no
avail. His defense was temporary in
sanity.
Ung Ting Bow killed a fellow coun-
tryman in Kings County in a high
binder war. an act which, under the
Supreme Court decision, diminishes
the yellow peril numerically by two.

UNITY OF ACTION IN
BOOMING CALIFORNIA
ties Discuss Plans for Advertis-
ing State at Exposition.

meeting was held yesterday at the
Lick House by representatives of the
commercial bodies of the counties
north of Tehachapi for the purpose Of
effecting an organization that will in
sure a unity of action among those
counties in advertising California at
the coming exposition in ST. Louis
Among those present at the meeting
were DR.. r. NJ. Green of Oroville and
w. A. Beard Of Sacramento, repre-
senting the Sacramento Valley Devel-
Opment Company, of which the latter
gentleman is secretary; Fred Buck of
Vacaville. representing Solano County,
and COlvin b. Brown, secretary of the
Stockton Chamber of Commerce. In
all about twenty counties were repre-
sented at the meeting. In discussing
the purposes of the meeting Colvin
Brown said last evening:
Our idea is to have the men from California
work for the whole State at the expcsi-
tion. That is. we do not purpose that any
shall quietly boom their own section Of ths
state at the expense Of another and at all times
they will be expected to stand ready to defend
California against any detrimental statements
that may emanate from outside sources.
II is part OF the plan OF the organization.
which was discussed at to-day's meeting TO
impose fines upon any member OF the California
delegation who is found to be working in the
interest OF any particular section OF the State
and second offense or that character will re-
suit in his being sent home. IL the delegates
find any one abusing San Francisco or any
other county IL viii be the duty Of the other
delegates to Immediately unite IN its defense
Unity OF action is to be our motto, with A
view to gaining for the entire State as much
advertising as possible, and We believe that
the only way TO accomplish this is by creating
rules which will carry with them punishment
for their violators. Although the coast coun-
ties were not represented at to-day's meeting.
We have received assurance that they will
join with the valley counties in any agreement
that they decide on.

 Many a sufferer takes medicine for imaginary female complaints" until she Is utterly discouraged and much worse. And yet 1t Is so easy to tell when the kidneys are sick, and so easy to cure them with the right sort of treatment.
 Prolonged neglect means diabetes or Bright's Disease.
 How many apparently healthy women there are who begin to find household work a burden; who are constantly all tired out" irritable and depressed, and who suffer often from sick, dizzy headaches. pain in the back and sides, rheumatism and irregular flow of the urine.
 They are always ailing. but not sick enough to go to bed. and they walt for the spells to pass away. But the cause is still there. The kidneys are sick and work only aggra- yates the trouble. The kidneys have in some way be- come congested, irritated. or infamed. and are failing to remove the uric acid
