Hoch Granted q Reprleve,

Chicago, July 28.-Johann Hoch,
"Bluebeard," and confessed bigamist,
sentenced to be hanged today for poi
soning one of his wives, was this af-
ternoon granted reprieve until Aug.
ust Is by Gov. Deneen. The stay of
execution followed hours of anxiety
on the part Of Hoch, who had never
given up hope, and was allowed a
respite by the governor only after the
latter had been assured that the nee.
essary funds to appeal the case had
been raised. The amount, $500, was
given by an attorney and friend of
Hoch's counsel. The attorney declar.
ed he was actuated purely by human.
itarian motives.

STILL TALK FIGHT.
War Party in Russia is Making Some
HeadWav

st. Petersburg, July 29.-The sub
stance of the interview in New York
with M. SatO, spokesman of the ia
panese peace ENJOYS, on the position
of Japan in the peace negotiations
was reproduced in the papers here
and passed almost without comment,
only the Novoe Vremya indulging in
a sarcastic fling. saying that Japan
has conducted the war quite econom-
ically, only million day, but she
had better present the bill to those
who are furnishing the sinews of war,
the war was forced
The war party is again making
Roadway, drawing capital from Gen.
eral Linevitch's optimistic kilograms,
one of which, with the emperors re-
ply, declaring that the misfortunes
of war have not shaken his belief in
the courage and devotion of the army
and containing a glowing wish that
the troops may bring the war to a
happy conclusion, is published In all
the papers.
No further news has been received
here of the landing of Japanese
troops on the coast of Siberia or of
the operations in Korea. Though &C
companied by constant skirmishing,
the steady pressure of the Japanese
northward has not developed serious
fighting yet.
In diplomatic circles a general feel.
ing of surprise is professed that ia
pan has shown her cards to such an
extent before the meeting of the
plenipotentiaries. There is no unity
of opinion regarding the prospects
of peace. 1t is realized that much
will depend on the extent to which
M. Witte has been instructed to push
opposition to the payment of an in
demnity. Though one prominent dip
lomat told the Associated Press that
according to his information, M.
White had been instructed to refuse
absolutely the payment of fiat in
demnity, other sources are less sure
of the exact nature of these instruc-
tons.

An ample spillway will provide an
escape for excessive food waters, and

will enter the reservoir directly on
its bottom to supplement the spillway
and also to allow for the discharge
Of sediment from the reservoir.
The valley is already well provided
with transportation by the Santa Fe

We are always glad to print in the
Chronicle story about a remarkable
success achieved by advertising, ana
especially so when the article adver-
tised is one Of superior merit.
Not so very long ago B. H. Matthews,
one of MilfoTd's g most enterprising drug
gists, succeeded in getting the DR.. How
ard Co. to allow him to sell their Specific
for the cure of constipation and dyspep-
sia at half price, as an Introductory offer
The results Of this advertising have
been phenomenal, and there has been
hardly week without B. H. Matthews
being obliged to order fresh supplies.
Such was his confidence in the REM
edy that he personally guaranteed every
package Of the Specific that he has
sold, and agreed to refund the nancy
il it did not cure. His faith was we'll
founded, for out Of the hundreds Of
he has sold, only one has
