Sick Headache

"For several years my wife was trou- bled with what physicians called sick headache of a very severe character. She doctored with several eminent physicians and at a great expense, only to grow worse until she WAS unable to do any kind of work. About a year ago she began taking Chamberlain's Stom- ache and Liver Tablets and today weighs more than she ever did before and is real well," says Mir. Geo. E. Wright, of New London, New York.

All the blessed way"
 Above is the charming paper of Mrs. Sherman, which by the courtesy of that lady we are enabled to reproduce. The session as whole was an excel lent one and has proved of great value throughout. The lateness in the week of it's beginning makes detailed report difficult, and perhaps it would not in- terest many to give it. Those who were there have it already stored up in their minds, and with many a pencil mem- orandum of facts and figures.
 The papers presented have been of exceeding value, and listened to most attentively by large and interested audience. While all were good, that by MT. Wilsie is of the most practical value of direct application. His "New Idea" was how to dispose of our crops. How to produce them is already we'll known. In his paper Mir. Wilsie has taken hold of the other end of the subject and con- sidered what to do with the crops when we get them. This involves cheaper transportation by a shorter route to the coast. and this should be by road to San Diego. It is the livliest of all the live subjects presented at the meeting. and in it Mir. Wilsie has shown his broad statesmanship and comprehen- sion of actual needs. The Institute agreed with him too, and adopted reso- lutions accordingly.
 The Question Box feature was of es- pecial interest, bringing ideas and dis cussion from all, and preventing discus- sions, being confined to one speaker.
 Resolutions were adopted as follows: l. Favoring railroad to San Diego and appointing w. E. Wilsie, s. J. Ul- rey, w. A. Van Horn, P. M. Chandler and M. P. Holman committee thereon to cooperate with like committees from San Diego and elsewhere.
 2. Urging strict quarantine by the Supervisors against all pests to tree, vine, plant or animal.
 3. Favoring other institutes, both here and elsewhere in the Valley, and asking continuance of the State appro- priation therefor.
 4. Thanks to Prof. Cook and assist ants, and also local supporters in the present meeting.
 Prot. Cook strongly urged care against the introduction of outside pests. We are free from them now; it is easier to keep so than fight them when intro duced. The principal of these to be guarded against are the Texas cattle disease, phylloxera, California vine disease and enemies to the date palm.
 Prof. Cook also approved the idea of citizen in recommending the growing of asparagus. He thinks the Valley peculiarly adapted to it, and that it will prove of great value.
 We will probably have not only another Institute next year, but several of them, as Prof. Cook promises to come and hold them in the principal towns of the Valley.

Dear Folks, One and All:
Your very welcome letter of August
II WAS received by me on September IL,
and L was very glad to hear from home.
We have. as you see, changed our an
chorage, and are now 1855 miles south of
there in Nimrod Sound. We are here
here for drill, and I tell you we get
enough Of it. From o'clock in the
morning until o'clock at night it is
just lone round of pleasure" and we
have torpedo drill every night from 10 to
II or o to l0-any old time they see dt.
| hope you will excuse this writing.
If you can't read it, let me know. The
ship is rolling about thirty degrees all
the time. We have a heavy ground
swell here; it makes it 70 nice, you
know. You have to hold on to keep
from falling off the earth. just upset
an ink bottle. You can see the effect
of 1t on this page; spoiled everything
] had in my ditty box.
We haven't got paid yet; when we do
viii send you that souvenir and the
pictures. There is nothing at all here
no town, nothing but hills and water :,
There are lots of Chinese pirates here.
1t is the worst place on the China coast
for pirates, but they keep clear of a
man-o'.war - have no business with
them at all. We are to go back to Woo
Sung the 23d of this month then we
get paid and four days liberty. We
have had four days only once since we
left home; SO, if 1 should get back now,
could get 30.day furlough. Every
thing is dull here-notling doing-and
we do not expect anything.
September 24-Well, l think it is
about time finished this letter.
We got up anchor last night at 9 o'clock
and are now at anchor in Woo Sung.
L haven't had time to finish this letter
any sooner, and could not have sent
1t If had. We had heavy rain all the
way up here from Nimrod. Winter has
set in here in good shape, guess, from
the looks of things. don't know how
long We are to be here this time not
long though.
Now | must close for this time.
Write soon aud send the papers. Good.

MURDERER
WETTER
Held without Bonds for the Killing Of
Long and VAIN.
EVIDENCE SHOWED PRENEDITATION
Murder had been Planned be-
cause Of a Quarrel.

Robert Wetter, who murdered
Chris Long and L. d. VAIN, and
attempted the life Of Jack Claire
and Longs son who was wounded
in the leg, was brought before
Judge Vineyard Monday for pre-
liminary hearing.
Quite an audience had asse mbled
to hear the evidence, but on the
opening of court all spectat tors and
newspaper men were excluded. A
number of witnesses were examined
and all the evidence produced went
to show that Wetter and some Of
those interested in mining proper
ties with him had had an alterca-
tion about a year ago, and at diff
ferent times since Wetter had made
threats that he would clean out the
whole bunch which were not
taken seriously.
On the night Of the murder
Wetter stealthily approached the
cabin where the men were staying
and killed Chris Long who was sit
ting before campfire. Jack Claire
and Longs son, who were also on
the outside of the cabin, took to
their heels, Wetter shooting at
them in the darkness, wounding
the boy.
From the examination at the
coroner's inquest it appears that
the shooting had awakened VAIN,
who was in bed within the cabin.
The bed was made on a mattress
lying on the floor. Wetter told
Waln's son, whom he met short
time afterwards, how, after killing
Long he had sneaked around to
the door of the cabin and fired,
aiming about where he thought the
man was sleeping, then rushing
into the cabin and shot again. The
second shot penetrated Waln's arm
and passed completely through his
body. The evidence at the inquest
showed that when he received his
death wound he must have been
setting up in bed. He fell back
and Wetter approached and fred
two shots one entering on either
side of the nose, passing through
and earring away the back portion
Of the head. Not being satisfied
with this, the gun was used as a
club and the remaining portion ol
dead mans head was pounded tc
a jelly.
It is conclusive that Wetter in.
tended to make complete job ol
the killing and Claire and young
Long undoubtedly owe their lives
to the darkness which prevented
more accurate craftsmanship.
The preliminary lasted two days
the prisoner being held without
bonds. The decision of the court
meets the approval Of the entire
country.

The San Domingo situation.

The conditions in San Domingo justify
vigorous action by this government. Every
present indication points to the determine
ton of the administration to punish the
insurgents who have fired on the flag killed
sailor and resisted the landing of marines
to enforce respect for our rights. Our ships
are in the waters adjacent in such num-
beers that there is little danger now Of a
catastrophe. Some damage may be done
here and there to our interests, but EVIL
IDENTIFY the program includes provision
against even sporadic cases of antf-Amerf-
canism
The adoption of an aggressive policy to-
ward San Domingo has been forced on this
government by circumstances which il
would have been glad to avoid There has
not been time for fifty years or even
longer when 1t would not have been to the
material interests of many Americans hay
ing business connections with these small
republics to see them either transferred
bodily to our sovereignty or else placed I'M
der protectorate guaranteeing against per-
iodic disorders. But there has been little
disposition on the part of the United States
to engage In a general corrective policy In
these nearby waters.
Both San Domingo and Haiti have been
frequent offenders against the United
States. but tbs big government has toi-
Grated many affronts from them which 1t

would never have endured from larger pow
ers.- 1t has not cared to stand before the
world in the character of bully 1t has
given these petty states every possible
chance to maintain themselves as republics
or separate governments by any name
or in any guise. All it has asked of them
and it has not until now put its demand in
very emphatic language-was that they
should respect the rights of our citizens
and behave themselves decently toward
their neighbors. This latest crisis in San
Domingo has resulted from three-cor-
nered revolution, more complex and persist
ent than its predecessors. 1t is clear that
whichever party wins in the immediate en-
counter and gains control of the machinery
and titles and emoluments of Office must
eventually give way before rival and
that there is no possibility of permanent or
even long-continued peace. Government
there has ceased to exist and anarchy
reigns in its stead. The occasional lapses
into semblance of order are merely
breathing spells for the revolutionists.
1t these perennial turmoils in the island
did not affect us we could afford to stand
by and ignore them. But they injure our
trade. they rob our citizens, they menace
US with international embarrassments We
are in large measure responsible for the
good conduct of these restless peoples by
reason of our proclamation of a doctrine
which prohibits the extension of European
sovereignty over any of them.
