MYSTERIOUS DEATH
The friends of the dead man assert with
vehemence that Nargon was tdo happy a
man to commit suicide.
-Lillie Blake, the woman whose evidence
was considered most important, is re
ported to be at death's door, while the
w £ men _ wno were arrested and charged
with the murder of Nargon have merged
themselves in the crowds of a large city.
The Coroner's jury that investigated the
death of Nargon did not come to a con
clusion without considerable debate. For
tnre e hours the jurors deliberated. Ed
ward Zimmerman, a livery stable keeper,
ana J.- G- Janigan, manager of the tele
phone company, stood out for an open
verdict. Sam Ainslle. nephew of the Jus
tice who conducted the inquiry, together
with Wynn Williams, a painter, and Neil
McColIom. a tinner, favored a verdict of
su 'cide from tlie first moment.
Finally Zimmerman and Janigan sent,
for Justice Ainslie and asked him if they
agreed to a verdict of suicide if such a de
cision would act as a bar to further pro
ceedings. When informed that it would
not stop criminal proceedings, the two'!
Jurors joined the majority on the suicide

Whether the mystery of the taking off !
of yictor Nargon will be cleared up is a ;
subject that occupies the attention of
hundreds of citizens of Mendocino County
at the present time and is likely to con
tinue to do so for many months to come
JURY WAS DIVIDED.
Those who say that the deceased was
the victim of foul play point to the cir
cumstantial evidence in the case and the
absence of any reason for Nargon to end
his life. • v
quest and a criminal Investigation were
held, the people of P'oint Arena in par
ticular and of Mendocino County in gen
eral are divided as to the cause of Nar
gon s death. There are many who cham
pipn the theory of suicide, while as many
others say that «th# only basis for this
claim is the evidence of Eva Bedford and
May O'Connor.

Russell declared that only a man who
had sold himself body and soul to tha
landlords and evictors would dare make
such an accusation. Dealing with the for
mation of the Irish land trust, Russell
said It would provoke a war, the end of
Tvbirb no man could foresee.
Wyndham's accusation that T. W. Rus
sell, Liberal-Unionist member for South
Tyrone, palliated disorder during tho De
Freyne evictions brought out a heated
denial from Russell and lengthy ex
changes between himself and Wyndham,
Wyndham, in refuting this assertion, de
clared that he could at present offer no
consecutive policy and maintained that
there could be no cessation of agrarian
strife, no revival of industry and no
staunching erf the flow of emigration, and
that the idea of home rule was impossible
even to those who cherished it, unless and
until the desolation processes of social
proscription and the miasma of fear
which penetrated and paralyzed every
nerve of national life were repudiated by
the> good sense of the people and re
pressed by the power of the Government.
LONDON, July 23.— The House of Com

dangerous to the empire to-day than it

Dr. Pitts testified that the weapon was

"Reaping the Whirlwind" is being
heartily enjoyed by thp patrons of the
Central Theater this week. The play is
full of excitement and interest and is ex

number of good specialties that enliven
the programme and some clever mechani
cal effects.
The Alcazar Theater is in its usual con
gested condition this week with Miss

The capable Frawley company Is pret
ty well lost this week in the Coghlan
melodrama "Jocelyn," that has been chos
en as the opening bill at the Grand Opera
house. Next week the bill will be "Uncle
Tom's Cabin," a revival that promises
to be of extraordinary interest. In the
company are Wilton Lackaye and Theo
dore Roberts, who as Uncle Tom and
Simon Legree appeared in the recent re
vival of the play at the Academy of Mu
sic, New York, which ran for 250 nights.
Ada Lewis, of "tough girl" fame, will
be the Topsy, little Gladys Weller the
little Eva, and a hundred people altogeth
er will appear in the production.
IT looks at present as If "The Wilder
ness," latest production of the Mil- ,
ler company at the Columbia Thea- .
ter, would exceed in popular lnteres,t '
any other production that has so far ¦
been given during the Miller season. The \
play is unusual, out of the common rut,
and clean and sweetly wholesome. It
gives to Mr. Miller, Margaret Anglin and
the admirable company by which they
are surrounded an excellent opportunity
of exhibiting their several talents, and is '
throughout pleasing. The fine last act
has already become famous and the un
usual spectacle of an audience waiting
for the last words of the play and then
staying to encore the players ten or a
dozen times is seen at every perform
ance. Miss Anglin is splendidly cast as
the society flirt, Mabel Vaughan; Mr. Mil
ler equally well as Sir Harry Mllanor, and
the rest of the cast from William Court
leigh in a very capable assumption of the
other lover's role to Mr. d'Orsay in a
mostly ruminating part is excellently,
placed. The bill goes another week. .
IHISH DEBATE
STIRS COMMONS
Count von Bulow, the German Imperial
Chancellor, is well aware of the disagree
able features of the Polish agitation, and
it is quite likely he will devise measures
to quiet the extreme violence of the Po
lish feeling.
Indications are not wanting that Russia
is disposed to utilize the Polish passion by
giving greater freedom to the Russian
Poles, thus creating along the Russian
frontier a Polish population In sympathy
with Russia.
BERLIN, July 23.-*-Court Chamberlain
Morawaskl, a Polish landed -magnate, has
appealed to Emperor "William not to visit
Posen during the army maneuvers to be
held In September, as his Majesty has
planned to do. The Chamberlain fears
that some- Polish fanatic might attempt
to harm the Emperor. Racial feeling is
described as at fever heat, and several
Berlin journals take the view that it
would !>e unwise for the Eraperor to ex
pose bfmself unnecessarily.
The Post (Conservative) says it Is in
formed that It would greatly relieve those
responsible for his Majesty's safety to
learn that he had given up the trip. Prom
inent Germans residing in Posen are glad
that the Polish officials and nobility have
determined not to attend the festivities
as thereby the chances of unpleasant in
cidents arising are lessened.
It is scarcely likely that Emperor Wil
liam will act upon Chamberlain Moraw
aski's appeal, because his Majesty never
permits himself to change his plans on
account of the timidity of his advisers.
He goes anywhere he thinks duty calls
him; and besides, it is his purpose to de
clare the Government's Polish policy
while in Polish territory, and his giving
up of personal supervision of the ma
neuvers would be unprecendented.
The Polish question is regarded as the
most important In the Government's do
mestic policy. While no observer be
lieves the Polish agitation can really
amount to much ultimately. It is embar
rassing the relations with Austria and
Russia. The Poles in Gallcla enjoy local
self-government and press privileges,
which are not in vogue in Prussian Po
land, and continual contrasts are made
in the Austrian press between the condi
tions existing in Galicia and in the Prov
ince of Posen that annoy this Government
and tend to weaken the triple alliance.
Secretary of the Navy Moody is expect
ed to arrive at Sagamore Hill on Friday,
perhaps in the early .evening, on board
the Dolphin or the naval tug from the
Brooklyn navy yard. He will remain
with the President probably until Monday
morning.
Senator Platt of New York will visit
the President probably on the 30th inst.,
coming to Oyster Bay, in accordance with
previous arrangements, on the yacht May
flower.
It can be said that he has no such in
tention. Such invitations to speak as he
has accepted come from people represent
ing all shades of political opinion. While
his addresses will be along Republican
lines, so far as they may relate to poli
tics, they wiU not be political speeches.
It has been announced in some places
that Mr. Roosevelt is to make a cam
paign, particularly in New York, with the
idea of offsetting any aggTessive opposi
tion to his political views.
OYSTER BAY. July 23.— President
Roosevelt is displeased somewhat by a
misinterpretation of his motives in ac
cepting invitations to meet and speak to
the people of several sections of the coun
try this fall.
"The men of this command who have
faced death amid the whirl of bullets
and the excitement of a fight can readily
appreciate the courage required to
daily await its approach in the
form of one of the most dread
ed diseases known to the world to
day, and the commanding officer makes
this an opportunity to publicly acknowl
edge that 'du^ well done,' the highest
aim of a soldier, is a goal Private Ste
venson has reached,
"This order will be published at pa
rade on Tuesday, the 27th inst., and at
general inspection of the Hospital Corns
on the 31st."
"Private Leonard B. Stevenson, Hos
pital Corps, U. S. A., was detailed tt>
nurse both our comrades, with the knowl
edge that his predecessor had been cui
down while performing the same duty.
Without a murmur he responded and re
mained till the sod covered his plague
stricken charges, and then he returned
to his routine duties.
"The death of Private Joseph G. Melse
man, Hospital Corps, U. S. A., is an
nounced. Private Meiseman was de
tailed to face death as a cholera nurse
for one of our comrades and died from
the disease, caught from his charge— an
example of devotion to duty to be held
up for all men to emulate.
WASHINGTON, July 23.— The epidemic
of cholera has been particularly hard
upon the medical corps of the army sta
tioned in the Philippine Islands, and the
casualty list received here shows that the
evrgeone and the hospital corps have
boine their share of the suffering. Sur
geon General Forwood has received a
