In these days of rush and hurry
courtesy is often forgotten. In The
mad, pell nell rush of our life little
things are done to offend that we
rather remained undone. A hastily
eaten meal and its resultant headache
may cause us social or financial loss.
The wise man or woman is the one
who relieves little ills of this sort by
a little dose of Kodol for dyspepsia.

is always that possibility of little

his stomach by keeping a bottle of

Whereas, there exists d condition in
this senatorial district, and through
out the state of California, that calls
for men of experience, ability and
honesty in the legislature of this
state.
And, whereas, we recognize in the
Hon. A. Caminetti these qualities in
an eminent degree, evidenced in the
past in the legislatures of California
and the halls of congress.
Therefore, be it resolved, that this
convention earnestly requests him TO
allow his name to be presented TO
the legislative convention tor the
nomination of senator of this dis
trict.
And be it further resolved, that the
delegates elected to represent the de-
mcracy of Amador county in the state
convention advocate his nomination
for senator.

1ected to the resolution, and urged
its withdrawal. In Difference to his
objections, the last clause was

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
IN WAREHOUSE.

Fire of a mysterious origin caused
damage last night to the Haslett Ware
house No. l. lis Townsend street, and
contents estimated at $4,000.
The six-story building. utilized as a
general merchandise storage house, is
trisected by brick dead walls dividing
each floor into three compartments or
houses. This construction resulted in
confining the fire to the middle section
on the three upper floors, and the loss
by water will exceed the fire loss to the
middle section.
The fire started in the middle section
on the fifth floor, in which was stored
appliances and equipment of the Electri-
cal Appliance Company. Following a
light shaft 1t communicated to the
fourth and sixth floors. It's origin is
unexplained. The section of the house
is protected by heavy steel shutters and
nothing stored in it lends probability to
the theory of spontaneous combustion.
The heaviest losers are the Electrical
Appliance Company: Langley & Michael,
drug importers; Quick Meal Stove Com
pany, and the Haslett Warehouse Com
pany. The latter's loss is represented
by damage to the building and to the
merchandise of numerous concerns. All
of the losses are more or less covered
by insurance.

CURRENCY REFORM
THE KEYNOTE.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 1.-THE first days
session of the thirty-second annual con-
vention of the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION was devoted almost entirety
TO routine reports. There was one time
during the day when the deliberations
of the convention threatened to become
extraordinarily animated and that was
touching on the question of currency
reform. The subject was not entered
into today, however, being laid over
for discussion tomorrow, when the
Federal legislative committee VIII lay
before the convention an elastic cur
rency plan IL has prepared, Currency
raforn, ia apparently the keynote and
main idea of the convention. and so
many plans have been presented and
suggested for consideration. that con-
fusion has resulted. Therefore, 1t Is
the unanimous opinion OF delegates
that tomorrow's session will be charac-
terized by warm discussion when the
subject is brought up. but conserva-
tive and influential members feel GER
tain that the plan OF currency reform
will be agreed upon before the, conven-
tion finally adjourns-
Addresses of welcome were made to-
day by Governor Folk, President D. R.
Francis of the rans-Mississippi Com
mercial Congress, Mayor Rolla Wells
and Chairman c.. j. Van Blarcom OF
the reception committee. being re-
sponded to by President John L. Hamil-
ton of Hoopeston. Ill, who also deliv-
cred his annual address.
Mrs. L. A. BatchelIer OF Fingal, n. D.,
occupied prominent position on the
stage today, being the only woman so
honored, because she is the only woman
bank president attending the conven-
ton. She Is president of the First Ma
tional Bank of Finga1 and her hus-
band, c. E. Batcheller, is cashier in her
bank.
After listening to reports all day the
regular business was suspended late In
the day and the convention was ad-
dressed by Charles N. Fowler, chair
man of the committee on banking and
currency in the House Of Representa-
tives, and Comptroller Of the Currency
William B. Ridgeley.
The executive committee made re-
port approving the question formulated
by J. B. Newman Of New York, which
was reported back to the convention
as a resolution and adopted. as follows:
ITO require all corporations listed on
the New Yrk Stock Exchange to issue
their stocks in denominations Of 100
shares so shares, % shares. 10 shares.
shares and / share; also requiring the
number of shares to be a part OF the
engraving in the same manner In
which United States currency is made,
and to have the certificates made in
different colors, so that they may be
readily distinguished one from the
other. and in this way eliminating the
possibility of raising the amount on

months in an effort to secure a restora-

ground that an unfair advantage was

NO PERMIT TO BLAST

Tomorrow morning / shall make

fire committee of the Board OF super

mend the petition of the hotel people
to blast, save under certain conditions,
which included the permission and con-

to use blasting powder, nor has the
contractor filed his bond. which Is re-

done at the possible jeopardy OF other

At about o'clock last night the
thunderous sound of heavy blasting

Without the sanction of the Super
visors and the permission and direc-
tion Of the Board OF Works nothing
could be done legally by the razers.
According to President Dufrey they
have no legal right to blast
At least six heavy charges of powder
were sent off last night. In the dark
ness surrounding the hotel block 1t
was impossible to locate to a degree of
explosive was discharged But a can
vass of the four sides of the block mar
rowed the location of the firing to the
hotel site. About the only person who
declared that the blast was not fired in
the hotel ruins was the night watch
man there. When asked where the
blasts were fired he waved his hand
vaguely in the direction of Mission and
Third streets. Inquiries along this
imaginary line. however, threw the
center of concussion back into the ho-
tel ruins. The facts will develop to-
morrow.
