and several sets of harness. Thu
horses were saved. The loss In thi'
instance was about 5000.

TURNING OUT
The BEST WORK

The bindery of the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city, and it is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once. never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the Offices of lawyers,
brokers, promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be suffi-
cient tor establish the truth of this
statement. 1t pays to go where only
the best kind of work is done, and
1T pays to patronize home industry.

political speech of the present city
and county campaign, addressing a
crowd of three thousand men and

don for reelection The other speak
ers were Special Prosecutor Hiram
w. Johnson of the bribery-graft pros
ecution, who presided over the meet
ing, and Mr.. Langdon. The speeches
of Johnson, Langdon and Heney
were powerful pleas for a chance to
carry to completion their avowed
task of cleansing San Francisco from
the curse of graft and Furnishing, as
the law provides, the rich boodlers
who have, by the wholesale, corrupt
ed public servants and who stand
ready to corrupt and debauch and
Doodle afresh if allowed their liberty
and given the opportunity.

WOMAN WAS
The ASSASSIN
[By Associated Press. ]


ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2S.-Gen-
eral Maximoffsky, director of the de-
partment of prisons Aof the ministry
of the interior, was shot and killed
today. The general was the first re-
sponsible official connected with the
Russian prison and it is supposed this
was the reason he was selected for
assassination by the terrorists.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 28.-The
assassin of General Maximoffsky is
Mile. Rigozinnikova of Perna prov
ince, daughter of a teacher in the
imperial conservatory of music. She
fired seven shots point blank into his
body. She unhesitatingly avowed
herself to be the emissary of the Fly
ing Section of social revolutionists.
The desire was to punish Maxlmoff-
sky for the stern regime which he
,acely had introduced in the treat
ment of sixty political prisoners.
When searched it was found the wo-
man carried inside her. corsage case
containing eighteen pounds of highly
explosive powder. The charge was
powerful enough to blow the entire
building and its occupants to pieces.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Probably
no engagement in recent years has
pleased society in general quite as
much as that of James Lorillard Ker-
nochan's widow, Mrs. Eloise Steven
son Kernochan, ESPECIALLY as she has
chosen as her future husband men,
Der of the old and eminently respect
able Butler Duncan family, Alex
ander Butler Duncan, the son and
only unmarried child of William But
Ter Duncan of No. l Fifth avenue
James l.. Kernochan died four years
ago, and as he left no fortune the life
of Mrs. Kernochan since then has
not been all raptures and roses. De-
pendent, to certain extent upon the
elder Mrs. Kernochan, the latter as
sumed an autocratic attitude, often
notifying to the daughter-in-law,
and the frequent stories of disagree
ments were not fiction. The younger
woman has such lovable disposition
that their differences did not lead to
an open breach, but it must have
been because of this situation that
young Mrs. Kernochan came near to
contracting a truly democratic mar
riage some two years ago. Despite
her pecularities Mrs. James P. Ker-
nochan has been financially generous,
and she will doubtless provide sub
stantial cheque as wedding present.
The future Mrs. Duncan has won
almost national fame for her proves
in the saddle. Not forgetting Mrs.
Adolph Ladenburg, Mrs. Tom Hitch
cock, jr., Miss Edith Colford, Miss
Mary Hartman and others, there IL
little doubt that Mrs. Kernochan IS
the best all around horsewoman New
York society has produced. l do not
know whether she longs again for a
place like The Meadows, where once
she had so many schooled hunters
and thoroughbred dogs that she
could scarcely keep track of them,
but it is possible that Mr.. Duncan
contemplates just such a country
home for his bride.
In town neither Mrs. Kernochd i
nor Mr.. Duncan have gone in for So
ciety, and if they have domicile in
the city at all it will probably be in
the senior Mr. Duncan's house.
