For the beginning OF this drama one

Of two bitter antagonists. Felice Caval-

open rupture. That day came in the carry

Quarrel was an absolutely technical one
from which the personal element was
quite absent. but heated language was
used on both sides, and IL was prac-
tically certain that serious conse-

FURNITURE BUYER IS
BACK FROM TRIP EAST
o. j. Barker Returns From Eastern
Markets and Tour Through
Frozen North

FTOZSn NOTLH
o. J. Barker is back again after six
weeks of strenuous work among the
eastern furniture markets. Mr.. Bar
ker is now rated one of the largest
buyers Of furniture in the United
States, which in reality means the
world, the Wanamaker stores taking
first rank. His time while in the east
was largely spent at the fall furniture
expositions in Grand Rapids and Chi
cago.
Returning, Mr.. Barker stopped at
Lake Tahoe for Mrs Barker and
daughter, who have been sojourning
there during his absence in the east,
and together they made tour of the
north, stopping at the principal points
of interest along the Alaskan coast.
They were as far north as Skaguay
and returned by way of Sitka and Van
couver. Mr.. Barker says there is not
a poor city in the northwest; that
everything north Of San Francisco is
growing rapidly and Vancouver, B. c.,
seems to be especially prosperous. The
report of the rich mine openings in the
Little Windy country mas been veri-
fled by authorities and much interest Is
being manifested.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
TO BE ESTABLISHED

One Of the many Improvements
planned by the University of Southern
California is to be a large hospital to
be conducted in connection with the
school of medicine. 1t is expected the
project will be discussed at the coming
conference to be held in Simpson audi
torium beginning September 27.
The hospital building will probably
cost nearly 100000. 1t will be for the
accommodation of those unable to be-
come patients in private hospitals, but
with the aid of endowed beds 1t will
be self-supporting.
The necessary funds will be raised
through subscriptions.

Commissioner Emery Pleased.

Probably the most highly pleased
man about the capitol Tuesday was
Dairy and Food Commissioner Emery,
because of the concurrence by the SEN
ate in bill 182a, in consequence of which
that bill will become a law and add ten
men to the corps of the dairy and food
commission-a second assistant commits
sioner, an assistant chemist and eight
cheese factory, creamery, dairy .nd food
inspectors. When Prof Emery received
his appointment as commissioner from
Governor La Toilette in Decent Der, 1902,
the commission consisted. of only five
persons. In 1903 he obtained the pas
sage of law that added three to the
commission. These three with the ten
just provided make Ii that have been
added to the commission in the two and
a half years Mr.. Emery has been COM
missioner. Instead of five, the corps of
the commissioner will now number IS,
a force more nearly adequate to perform
the duties of the commission as pre-
scribed by law, and more complete en-
forcement of the dairy and food laws is
to be expected from this legislation

Answer His Questions.

When the census taker comes to your
house give him all the information he
desires. If you refuse to answer his
questions you will be guilty of misde-
meanor and liable to fine of S25. For
the city census, required by the state,
each canvasser must secure the name of
every person in his district, living on
June l. He must fill out blanks for each
one, giving the relationship to the head
of the family, color or race, sex, age,
whether single, married, widowed or di-
vorced, nativity, nationality of parents,
occupation and number of mouths per
year employed, and whether home is
owned or rented, and if mortgaged. He
must also make up an enrolment of all
persons eligible for militia service and of
all the ex-soldiers. Statistics of farms,
truck gardens, manufactures and mines
will also be compiled.
The school boards census takers will
only need to secure the names OF all
children between the ages of and 20
years and the total number of boys and
girls in every family, how many attend
school and whether public or private.

Secretary Wilson and His Visitor on Home
Grown Tobacco

During Secretary Wilson's tenure of
Office the beet sugar and tobacco indus
tries have been placed upon paying
business basis, while under his super
vision all sorts of beneficial experiments
are being carried on. The three things,
however, of which he is proudest are:
beet sugar, tobacco and the silk worm
industry. One of Secretary Wilson's WIS.,
itors congratulated him few days ago
upon the numerous successes be had
made since in Office, but remarked that
he had heard but little of American to-
bacco and that he feared it would re-
main a second-rate article of commerce
for some time to come. "That reminds
me to take a smoke" said the old Secre-
tary whereupon he took cigar from
drawer in his desk, presented one to his
visitor, with the remark that if we could
grow tobacco as good as that we would
be doing pretty we'll in this country.
After putting away at the cigar few
moments the Secretary's visitor remark
ed, "Well, | should say so. That is
fifty straight clear Havana cigar, or
I never tasted one." "That cigar" calm
ly replied Secretary Wilson, sis an Amer
ican product. The filler was grown in
Alabama and the wrapper in Connecti-
ont
