Random Thoughts

1t is possible that there are young girls
who long for fine clothes and fine feath-
ers that are worn by the rich, and believe
that their lot in life is cast in rough
places. To all such we would say that
the constant stream OF scandal, elope-
ments, divorces and debauchery that is
reported from the so called upper strata
Of society ought to be enough to make
any honest working girl thank God that
she is not subject to the allurements OF
wealth that constantly gather in victims
There are exceptions, OF course, says the
Golden Globe, but to the majority OF
people who are subject to the tempta-
tions OF exclusive society, large percent
age are harmed in soul and mind and
many fall absolutely to hell. II the
drink habit among fashionable women
we're known abroad, it would scare re-
formers half to death, but such are the
facts that the tipple is today one Of the
main ingredients of the bowl of social
whirl. History repeats itself. The men
and women who help humanity and ele-
vate the world do not come from the
400 society, Happy homes and healthy
children and content are not found
where wealth and society hold sway.
And there are no class Of people on Gods
green earth who are more to be pitied
tuuD tHOSe WlDSt liNeS arc HOTiZOHsu Dl
pride of wealth, social standing, exclusive
and select. They are to be pitied be-
cause the voice that calls to repentance
and lives of sacrafice is never permitted
to be heard inside that circle, notwith-
standing the fact that church books
have their names recorded.
Now that Christmas is coming on it
would be well il every wife could re-
member and act upon this advice: When
buying your husband box Of cigars as
a present, do not forget to purchase a
common rabbit for Willie The rabbit is
very pretty pet, easily domesticated
and very fond of cabbage, IL your hus
band cannot smoke the cigars the rabbit
will eat them.
According to daily newspaper, lard
is now being made from pigweed. The
old way was to run the pigweed through
the hog, but some wise gentlemen have
made a machine that works like a hog,

Please pass the pie, the crust of which
is made from pigweed lard.
There is character in the sox men
wear, says an exchange. The black
stocking denotes weight and dignity; the
red, leaning to pro6igate ways; the
pale blue, vapidity and mushroom de-
sire to be in the swim. What about the
country editor who. according to tradi-
ton, wears no sox at all?

ii. A. BuChtel and Entire
State Ticket Elected
by 10000.
County Ticket Is Badly Scratched
and the Count UncompIeted,
but Republicans Have
Elected Everything
but Treasurer.

Tuesdays election resulted in land
slide for the republicans all over the
country. Here in Colorado Buchtel is
elected governor by 10000 plurality and
carries the entire republican state ticket
with him. All three congressman are
elected and the republicans will have
60 or 10 legislators, or many more than
enough to elect United States senator
to succeed Thomas M. Patterson. While
the count of the votes is not completed
returns received from a majority Of the
counties indicate that the state is safely
republican. 1t is estimated that Buch-
tells plurality in this county will be 100
and it may reach $50 when the returns
are received from all the outlying pre-
cincts.
In Ebert county the republicans
elected the entire county ticket with one
and possibly two exceptions, by major
tiles ranging from 80 to 400. The demo-
Gratis reelected Fred Hertel treasurer
and the office of sheriff is yet in doubt
and it may take the official vote to de-
tertnine the result. We publish below
the vote of the five principal precincts as
reported to the Tribune. The precincts
in the extreme east end OF the county
are yet to be heard from:
There were 219 ballots voted in Elbert

404, 12 votes less than two years ago, J.
A. Boston led with 200 votes, Theodore
Nentilan had 1876 and Jacob Brazelton

and 25 straight republican votes cast.

SANTA FE WILL
MEET CUT IN
PASSENGER RATES

Reductions will be made on the Santa
Fe which will practically bring the
rates on par with the new rates which
have been made by the Southern Pa
cifc company.
John j. Byrne, assistant passenger
traffic manager of the Santa Fe, said
Yesterday that the road has been con-
sidering for some time the reduction OF
rates on the branch lines and over the
mountainous and desert country and
that he is daily expecting advices OF
the change from headquarters.
Mr.. Byrne said that where the rates
are 3 cents a mile they will not be
changed, but that the and cent q
mile rates win be lowered. He said
that the fares on the San Jacinto and
Escondido branches will be somewhat
less under the new ruling and that
the rate over the mountains between
Barstow and san Bernardino Will be
cut Rates in Arizona and New MeXi-
co will also be affected.
1.-The lowering of rates where they
are above cents mile" said Mr.
Byrne, has been advocated for some
time by officials of our company. They
have oontended that this Is made pos
sible by the large increase in traffic
during the>last few years, 1t is also
thought TO be conductive to a farther
increase IN travel and in settling uI
of the country that has not as vel
been fully developed"

San Pedro Sailors Reported to Regret
Strike, but Are Obliged to
Aequlesee in Flat Of
Majority

Special TO The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, June 14r-Both owners
and sailors suffer as result of the
strike on the steam scho6tsts.
There is considerable disappointment
here among the sailors and longshore-
men because the conference between
the ship owners and the committee of
sailors did not bring anlcable arrange
ments.
AS long as the same condition pre-
walls elsewhere the men here, being in
great minority as compared to the
number along the coast have nothing
to do, they say, but acquiesce in the
fiat of the greater number.
There are no new arrivals of either
steamers or sailing vessels although
several got away, and cargoes are be-
ing discharged from all vessels in port
except the two. Mayfair and Nome
City, on which the men walked out yes
terday.
The captain of the Nome is anxious
to get his vessel to sea because 1t is
a large one and has such small
amount of cargo yet on-board here. The
loss to the owners of this vessel while
she is tied up is very great owing to
her immense carrying capacity. She
was originally built for the Alaskan
trade and is an ice breaker with a
strong constitution. but has been in the
lumber trade all the past winter and
spring.
The Mayfair is a much smaller ves-
sci and the loss is not SO great while
it is idle.

CASE LOOKS BAD
FOR MRS. LE OOUX
EVIDENCE AGAINST HER Is
ACCUMULATING
New Witnesses Placed on Stand
Furnish Several Missing
Links In Chain of
Events
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
STOCKTON, June 14.-The prosecu-
tion continues to pile up evidence
against Mrs. Emma Mcvicar-Le Doux,
charged with the murder of her former
husband.
In response to hypothetical questions
involving the facts adduced by the
testimony of the doctors and the chem
lists, coupled with the conditions found
in McVtcar'S badly, together with the
results of the chemical analysis, Doc
tors Southworth, Hull and Latta de-
clared it their firm opinion that the
death of the deceased was due to NOR
phine poisoning.
The defense has not given up probing
for cyanide of potassium, in keeping
with the theory that McVicar suicided
by means of that drug, but the cross
examinations of the physicians seemed
only to strengthen the case of the
prosecution. The physicians declared
that none of the symptoms of cyanide
poisoning were present, while all the
symptoms of morphine poisoning were
present.
Important Evidence Secured
Evidence deemed important from the
prosecution's standpoint was brought
out this morning when Miss Fitzgerald,
clerk in the Wonder, dry goods store.
told of the purchase there by Mrs. lie
DouX on Saturday and after McVicar's 8
death, of several articles of clothing to
the amount of $15.75.
other important evidence was that
of Mrs. Van Langingham, occupying
rooms adjoining that in which the trag-
edy occurred.
She told of hearing sounds coming
from room 81 at the time when the
body of McVicar is supposed to have
been placed in the trunk. She heard a
dull thud as though something heavy
had fallen. and heard other sounds i'm
mediately following, as though furni-
ture was being moved.
The testimony of the witnesses was
not shaken by cross examination, but
rather strengthened.

WRECK CAUSES
THREE DEATHS
DEFECTIVE SWITCH PILES
CARS IN HEAPS
Passenger and Freight Train Come
Together Between Point
Richmond and Point
San Pablo

BY Associated Press
POINT RICHMOND, Cal, June IA
In the wreck of a passenger and work
train on the Belt line between here
and Point San Pablo, about 1880 O'Clock
this morning, caused presumably by a
defective switch, three men were killed
outright and dozen men were slightly
injured The killed:
CHARLES ALLISON, machinist.
DENNIS GRIFFIN, bricklayer.
RAY TIMBERMAN bricklayer.
Among the injured were:
e. Shaw.
H. Rudolph.
B. Walter.
r. Miller.
w. Coins.
w. Matthews.
G.. F. Barton.
That no more were killed seems re-
markable, for there were 250 men aboard
the train, which was made up of two
passenger coaches and two box cars.
1t was the usual morning train that
conveys workmen to brickyard where
they are employed.
Engineer H. A. Dutri stated that the
only way he could account for the
wreck was that the switch at the yards
was defective.
Hind Truck Leaves Track
When the train came to the faulty
switch the hind truck of the first car
left the tracks and threw the next two
cars over onto a side track. on which
was standing a fiat car.
Allison stood on the front platform
of the second car and as 1t collided
with the flat car on the siding he was
knocked off and caught between the
bumpers He was fearfully crushed
and lived but an hour,
Griffin was likewise thrown between
the cars and was almost instantly
killed.
There was CONSERVATION among the
many other workmen and while some
of them jumped for their lives others,
APPARENTLY dazed, remained in their
places and were uninjured.
Allison was 26 years old and had
married but few months. Griffin was
20 years old and was married but three
months ago.
Timberman was 26 years old and
single.
A wrecking train was sent from
Point Richmond to the scene of the
accident, which is four miles distant
from here.
