VENICE, March by the death

gondolier, the queen city of the Adri-

acter, who was known and esteemed
far beyond the borders of Italy. Hon.

calling and devoted to Venice. he be-
longed to the old order of gondoliers,
of which there are few specimens now
remaining. Many are the stories told
of his prowess and battles for the
honor of his town and profession. He

of the Gondoliers" and assumed
rather more authority over them than
the courtesy title conferred on him.
not hesitating to enforce discipline by
corporal punishment. OF late years
many who are not venetians have
taken to the business and Zatta much
resented this alien invasion to which
he ascribed the decadence of the old
traditions of courtesy and fellowship
among the knights of the oar. On one
occasion he created a sensation by
pitching into one of the foreigners
who had demanded from a woman,
with threats, more than his proper
fare. They tumbled into the Grand
Canal together and the old chap was
nearly drowned, but he felt amply
consoled for that by the severe drub-
bing and ducking the other fellow re-
ceived! This episode led really to his
death, as the fellow one night knitted
Zatta in the back, reopening an old
wound received in the war of inde-
pendence, and which never again
healed.
The old man was very fond OF the
ladies, admiring particularly foreign
types, and as he never forgot a face.

building and loan bill has been
the nemesis Of the Legislature
from the opening to the closing
week. The last quarrel Of note
occurred tonight between Assem-
blyman Warren M. John of San Luis
Obispo and Senator Henry w. Lynch
of the same county. John, In speaking
against the building and loan bill last
evening, innpugned the motives OF the
Senate COMMITTEES that drafted the
measure.
He roasted every one that had any
thing to do with the bill with the re-
suit that Lynch, who halls from his
section of the State, went over to the
Assembly chamber to "call him down.
You lie," said Lynch. ''You know
you lie, and I won't stand for your
condemnation of my colleagues"
John was white with anger, but he
made no reply. Later he set about pre-
pairing a complaint against Lynch to
call him before the bar of the Assembly
to show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt.

strychnine.
Doctor Shorey agreed with a state
ment by Duncan concerning an esti-
mate Of the amount Of strychnine that
q half teaspoonful of bicarbonate5 of
soda obtained from Mrs. Stanford's s
bottle would contain. Such half tea
spoonful would contain. he said, ac-
cording to their estimate, one-twen-
tieth Of a grain Of strychnine.
He further testified that he and DR..
Duncan employed the only practical
test in their examinations Of the or
gans and contents.
Deputy Sheriff Rawlins, who pre-
sided over the inquest, propounded the
following to DR.. Shorey:
Have you carried your examination
FAR enough to know the amount Of
strychnine found?
DR.. Shorey answered: Il have not
said and would not say that we found
any strychnfne. / would simply say
that we developed the color reaction
which strychnine causes.
The color reaction is caused by the
thousandth part Of a grain.
ANY quantity at all will cause a
color reaction If there is sufficient
residue from the matter being tested
after the elimination processes, the
doctor explained.
I'VE could have made other tests in
this case, but the residue would have
been too small to see anything at all.
I do not believe that there was as
much as the one thousandth part of a
grain in the entire organs"
Drs. Duncan and Shorey have films

there was a process Of elimination of

THE latest development In the war
between the president and the house
and senate leaders Of his party on the
railroad rate question, seems to be In
the nature Of a slight advantage for
the president. The Republicans are
badly divided on the railroad rate
question. All of the big railroad cor.
porations have attorneys among the
members, and these attorneys are not
willing to turn the situation over to
the president. Up to the middle OF
last week, 1t looked as II the situation
might bring about wide breach be-
tween the president and his party, and
inspired announcements were made to
the effect that the president would
take tie matter to the people, making
another swing around the country for
the purpose. The probability Of this
contingency has brought the recall
citrant members to their senses, and
on last Friday there was a party eau
Gus as the result Of which 1t was
agreed that what Is known as the
Esch- Townsend bill should be reported
today. This bill extends rate making
powers to the interstate commerce
commission. The Democratic minor
ity is showing an inclination to hold
the hands of the president up as far
as possible; but it is really In doubt

January just past was unusually
duh in all lines of business; but trade
is now beginning to pick up some
what.
There was pretty good turnout
to the Weary Willie Walker show at
the opera house last night, and the
audience was fairly well entertained.
The show was not up to expecta-
tions.
The county board Of registration
held its regular monthly meeting In
the office Of the sheriff last Monday
and was in session during the hours
prescribed by law. Business was rath-
er dull during the day.
There was lots Of drinking and
rowdyism on the streets and back lots
of Yorkville last Saturday afternoon,
and at his o'clock reception yester-
day Mayor Lowry imposed fines to
the amount Of $50 or SIS. Several
drunk and disorderlies were In jail
from Saturday night until yesterday
morning. '.....
The usual February salesday crowd
did not develop yesterday. 1t was be-
cause Of unfavorable weather condi-
tions. The two or three inches oil
sleet that covered the country yester-
day morning offered but little encour-
agement for travel to Yorkville from
distant points, and 1t looked for sew
eral hours as II there would be but
little business Of any kind during the
day. But In spite Of the weather there
was quite a gathering Of horsetraders
and during the afternoon there was q
good deal Of life on the streets and
in the back lots. There was more or
less traffic In horse flesh and some
Of the stores did good business dur

the county convention, and a week Ia

fact Of the matter Is that at the New
Orleans convention the committee on
acreage and fertilizers undertook IN
its report to suggest a plan Of organi-
