James N. Gillette, of Eureka, was
nominated for Governor by the Re-
publican convention on the first bal
lot, receiving 591E votes, to 233k
votes for the present Governor, Geo.
G. Pardee.
Governor Pardee's general indecis-
ion in the San Francisco disaster and
his refusal to yield to the request of
the citizens and recall the State mill
tia is regarded as having brought
about his defeat. The platform gives
sincere thanks to all who aided San
Francisco in her time of need. 1t
asks the enactment by Congress Of
an amendment to the existing tariff
law as a measure of relief for San
Francisco, that for period of three
years all building material be ad-
mitted into the port of San Francisco
free of duty.

HAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It is
llcaused by some irritating substance in
tue atmosphere during the late summer
months. 1t is generally thought that the
pollen of certain weeds and flowers is the
cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the only
rational cure. The use of Peruna, how
ever, stimulates the nervous system to re-
sist the effect of the poisonous emanations
and sometimes carries the victim through,
the hay fever season without an attack of
the disease.
A large number of people rely, upon Pc
find it convenient to change their location
to avoid ,tay Fever would do well to give
Peruna trial. 1t has proven Of priceless
value to many people.

Landlords Willing to Exchange Old

Want Universities Open.

Moscow, Russia.-There was a
strong upward movement on the
Bourse following the publication OF
the Stolypin program. All the indus
trial securities advanced, including
even the shares of the great Briansk
and Sormovo establishments, which
had been steadily declining on ac-
count of strikes, incendiarism and

An important conference between
Dmitri Shipoff, Count Hayden, Mich
ael Stakovich and other prominent
members of the Peaceful Regenera-
zionist party will be held to discuss
the new developments in the Octo-
brist party.
Taking advantage of the withdraw
al of Count Hayden and others, the
reactionist wing has started a cam
paign to capture the organization ard
turn it against the constitutional
movement. The more progressive
leaders now are considering thor
ough review of the Octobrist program
instead of the creation Of new
party.
The leaders secretly hope, it is as
serted, that the radical Constitutional
Democrats will be victorious at the
approaching elections for Parliament,
swing the party over to the Left, and
thus make room for combination
of Moderate Liberals.
From Eembers of the Zemstvo
Congress now in session here it Is
learned that many landlords favor
abandoning their present estates in
the thickly settled provinces in ex-
change for tracts in the Urals and
Siberia.

warning to Terrorists and Revolution
lists, on one hand, that crime must
and would be suppressed at any cost,
and to the Reactionists, especially
the court camarilla, on the other
hand, that reforms could neither be
abandoned nor deferred, met with a
prompt response on the Bourse,
where prices were not merely firm,
but were strong, without any symp-
toms of artificial support.

where he was under the care of Dr..
Helton. From his own statements
to the doctor he was a very heavy
drinker. On this occasion he told
the doctor that he drank all the way
from a pint to quart of whiskey
every day for the last ten years.
When first visited by Doctor Helton
he was very much under the infiu-
ence of liquor. His hospital bill,
which was $22 and the doctor bill of

FOUND DEAD IN A
DOCTORS OFFICE
TEDDY LARKlN, SPOKANE PAINTER
No Means of Determining Whether
Death Was Accidental or In
tended--Relatives Notified.

Teddy Larkin, painter, was
found dead early Tuesday morning
in DR.. Cameron's office in the Sloan
building. The deceased came to mis-
death by drinking about one
fourth of the contents of a twelve
ounce bottle of chloroform that he
found on the desk in the office. 1t is
not known whether it was case Of
suicide or whether the chloroform
was mistaken for liquor. 1t is
thought, however, that the deceased
was under the influence of liquor
when he entered the office and mis-
took the contents of the bottle 4or
whiskey. In his pockets were found
a pocket knife, finger saw, tape
measure and the bottle containing
the chloroform, all of which were ta-
ken from the desk in the office.
What motive the deceased had in
entering Dr. Cameron's office during
the night is a mystery that will per-
haps never be solved. He was no.
under the doctors care at any time.
Dr.. Cameron left his office Monday
night at $3.50 O'Clock, leaving the
door to the telephone booth open so
that if any patients came TO the Of
flee during The night they would
have access to the telephone to call
up his residence, At no time after
that hour was the doctor in his Of
flee until he was summoned there
yesterday morning over the tele-
phone.
Tommy, the Jap porter, went into
the office to do his work Tuesday
morning He saw the body lying on
the floor and thinking it was a man
sleeping he went into Sloan's drug
store and told Gerald Scheely, who
made an investigation and found
that the man was dead. DR.. Gamer
on and Coroner Rosser were notified
The only means of Identification
was a letter written by G.. G. Han

that he would provide him with
some clothing. This letter was writ

his identity.
Mr.. Larkin is a member of the
painters union in Spokane, where
he has a wife and two or three chill
dren living. He came over here
about two weeks ago in hopes of Sc
curing work in his profession. but
failing to do so he engaged in help

The history of the law Is full of cases in which, despite the strongest kind of circumstantial evidence, the innocence of the supposed criminal has been subsequently, established, says one writer One of the most re- markable of such recent cases was that of a German named Beck who was twice sentenced in England for committing crimes of which he was entirely innocent. He served a num- Der of years in prison for the sup posed offense, and was well along in his second term when. by the merest accident. facts came into the posses sion of the police conclusively proving him innocent. The present agitation fin England for criminal court of ap- peals is direct result of the shocking injustice done by the law in the Beck case. The conviction. while primarily the result of mistaken identity, was really brought about by strong cor roborative circumstantial evidence which sufficed to overrule the original doubt as to whether the accused was the man.
