Home of DR.. Carlton Is
Broken Into at Night by
Edward Thompson.

OAKLAND, March 23.-Awakened at
o'clock this morning by the screams
of a domestic. DR.. Harry P. Carlton,
the clubman and society leader was
confronted at his residence, 1436 Web
ster street, by an armed man, who
brandished a loaded pistol. The in
truder, to the amazement of Carlton
and his wife. proved to be Edward
Thompson, son of the late Peter
Thompson, who was a prominent and
wealthy capitalist. The Thompson resi-
dence is across the street from the Carl
ton domicile.
DR.. Carlton, by GOODNESS and tact,
managed to handle Thompson and to
get his unwelcome visitor out of the
house without serious consequences
Thompson is deemed erratic. Chief
of Police Hodgkins said the pioneer
Oaklander's son had once been examin7
ed in San Francisco for insanity, but
had been discharged.
Mary McWalter, the domestic, was
awakened by the rafting Of the win
dow shutters in her room. She saw a
man climbing into the room, and with
a scream of fright fed, pursued by
Thompson, who was stopped by DIR.
Carlton and Mrs. Carlton, both Of
whom rushed into a hallway after be-
ing aroused by the girls cries. Recog-
nizing Thompson. DR.. Carlton demand
ed to know what he was doing in the
house. The visitor incoherently NUT
tered that he was looking for Ethel.
Thompson was told that the object of
his strange search was not there, but
he persisted so emphatically that the
aroused householder accompanied him
through the residence.
Then the unexpected caller departed
but instead of crossing the street to
and TO enter a house next door to the
Carlton place. DR.. Carlton succeeded
at last in calming his visitor sufficient
ly to induce him to leave the place and
go home.
Thompson got to the window by
crawling up a step ladder he had placed
beneath it.
Miss McWalter said:
I'VE knew that Mr.. Thompson, our
neighbor had been acting queerly fol
some time, but we did not think he
was dangerous. His actions gave us
all pretty good scare"
Thompson has been living at the
home place with his mother and sister
The warrant for Thompson's arrest
was given to officer Forgie, who had
considerable trouble in landing the
man at the Receiving Hospital On his
arrival at Thompson's home he was
encountered by Lucy Thompson, who
hi of "a q
time yelling to her brother to make
his escape. Thompson ran, but was
overtaken by the officer, who, after a
short struggle, handcuffed the man
and took him to the detention ward OF
the Receiving Hospital. where he will
be held pending an examination.

CONTRA COSTA GROWING.

It is an open question whether there
will be a SEPARATE convention in the
Second Congressional District There
are indications that the committee will
not file a petition and that the dele
gates elected to the State convention
will resolve themselves into a Con-
gressional district convention. Superior
Judge A. @. Burnett of Sonoma and w.
P. Harmon of Butte will probably be
chosen as delegates from the district
TO the Chicago convention.
In affairs pertaining to the Third
Congressional District the leading Re-
publicans of Alameda and Solano coun-
ties usually come together and make
up a slate without recognizing the ex-
istence of Contra Costa County. The
last-named county is becoming too i'm
portant to be longer ignored. Richmond
is growing with marvellous rapidity.
All along the bay south and west from
Martinez to the county line population
is increasing. Before many years roll
by somebody from Contra Costa County
may go to Congress.
There is gossip in the Republican
camp of the Third District that George

Interesting Experiment In Restaurant
An advertising agent representing a
prominent New York magazine, while on
recent western trip was dining one eve
ming in a Plttsburg restaurant,
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the adj
yertlsement Of well known dyspepsia
preparation, stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets;
as he himself was q regular user Of the
tablets. hc began specializing as to how
many of the other travelling men In the
dining room were also friends ofithe pop
ulnr remedy for indigestion.
He says: i counted tWenty-thrce men at
the tables and In the hotel office, took
the trouble to Interview them and was
surprised to learn that nine Of the twen-
ty-three made q practice Of taking one or
two OF Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets after
each meal j3 4 a * Ma

Tablets had been entirely free from indt.

cially While travelling, on account Of
irregularity in meals and because, like all
travelling men, he was often obliged to eat
what he could get and not always what
he wanted, A
Another. WHO looked the picture Of
health, said he never ate a meal without
taking a Stuart Tablet afterward because
he could cat what he pleased and when
he pleased Without fear Of a sleepless
night or any other trouble,

subject to gas on stomach. causing pres
sure on heart and lungs, shortness OF
breath and dlstress In chest, which he no
longer experienced since using tho tablets
regularly. h
Another claimed that stuarts DYSPEPSIA
Tablets was tho only safe remedy he had
ever found for sour stomach and acidity.
lie had formerly used common soda to
relieve tho trouble, but the tablets were
much better and safer to use.
After smoking drinking or other ex-
cesses which weaken tho digestive organs,

stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the
