DEMOCRATS ARE AT WAR.
Many Washington Bourbons Will Not
Support Parker and Davis.

TACOMA, Wash, July 21.-Any-
thing but harmony prevails among
Washington Democrats, part Of whom
will warmly support Parker and Davis,
while another large faction remains
perfectly loyal to Bryan and his more
radical ideas. At Spokane it is pro-
posed to put an independent labor
ticket for State officers in the field if
the Spokane County Democratic Con-
venton indorses former Senator Tur-
ner for Governor.
At meeting of the Spokane Labor
Leaguers held Tuesday night Turner
was denounced as an enemy of organ
lied labor. George F. CotteriT, Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, two
years ago, has issued a circular to the
Bryan Democrats throughout the State
urging them to rebuke the Wall-street
ticket nominated at st. Louis and re-
questing them to join him in organiz-
ing another party.

OAKLAND MAN
IS MURDERED
Body of n. Ahearn Is Found
in the Truckee River and
Watch and Money Gone
Special Dispatch to The Call.

RENO, July 21.-Another case has
been added to the long list of Truckee
River mysteries. The body of N.
Ahearn of Oakland. for two years an
employe of the San Francisco Con-
struction Company, but latterly en-
gagged in Government work in Nevada,
was found to-day floating in the
stream. His skull was frightfully
crushed, a rope was tied about his neck
and the pockets in his clothes were
turned inside out. Every indication
goes to show that Ahearn was mur-
dered and that robbery was the mo-
tive.
Ahearn was last seen alive on Tues
day, when he cashed a check for 500.
Not a cent of the money was found
upon the body to-day. and a gold watch
Ahearn was known to carry is also
missing. He was a peaceable man, so
far as known, but on Tuesday stated
that he was going to quit his position
on account of not being able to get
along with one of the Government in
spectors on the work. He did not men
ton the mans name.

QUIET DAY AT RosEMoUNT.
Judge Parker Pleased With State.
mentS of Grover Cleveland.


ESOPUS, n. Y, July 21.-This has
been the quietest day at Rosemount
since Judge Parker's nomination. The
only guest was Henry Loomis Nelson
of Williams College, who remained q
short time.
Grover CIeveland's published article
discussing the present Democratic
policy and Judge Parker's leadership
is regarded by Judge Parker as likely
TO be of great value in the campaign
as one of the strongest appeals yet
made to Democratic voters. With re-
gard to the frequently made statement
that an invitation to visit Rosemount
had been received and ignored by
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many IT is learned that the report was
based upon a remark made by Bourke
Cochran during his recent call upon
Judge Parker. Cochran Is said to
have suggested such a visit by the
Tammany leader and Judge Parker
said he would be very glad to welcome
Murphy to Rosemount whenever Muir
ply could find it convenient to come.
1t is said that w. r. Hearst has
been invited to Rosemount but no
date has been fixed for the call.

direction. After getting limbered up
it is well to gently revolve round and
round, for this not only strengthens
all the muscles IN the trunk, but works
the liver at an exceedingly lively pace
at the same time, and there is seldom,
If ever, q time when this liver wiring
ing comes in amiss.
Another exercise that doubtless all
have tried at some time or other is
No. 4. The arms are raised from the
sides and extended to their full length

swing the arms, extended, to the verti-

Almost the first thing to do is to

minutes day to them. and this ten

tervals if one likes, for if the exercises
are taken whenever one has time the
result is the same. Last Sunday 1 gave
a series of simple arm and shoulder
exercises and this week want special
~ to dwell upon trunk exercises, for
they seem to me all important.
Walking, as you must have guessed,

and place them on the hips, fingers
to the rear, thumbs to the front and
the elbows pressed well back. Bend
the trunk forward at the hips and then
slowly raise and bend the trunk to the
rear as far as is possible. Execute
both motions slowly and without bend
ing the knees, else half the good will
be lost.
Another excellent exercise IS No. 8.
The hands are thrust down full length
to begin with and the trunk is bent
to the right an5 left without twisting
It or raising either heel. AS you can
easily see it is practically the same
as the one above 1t. but the results
