Thomas R. A^eed. a tenant of Thome's,
explained at the time the old man de
parted that he had seen his landlord
packing a traveling bag; that Thorne had
drawn money from the bank, and had
intimated he intended to go East to find
Mrs. Crocker. The message from the ab
sentee verifies Reed's statement in every
particular. It also substantiates the po
lice theory.
Thorne, in addition to unfolding the se
cret of his latest venture within range
of Cupid's darts wrote that he was en-
Joying the best of health.
Charles V. S. Thorne, an eccentric oc
togenarian, who left his home at 1106 East
Twenty-fourth street on October 5 with
out announcing his departure, has bob
bed up in Des Moines, Iowa, as the hus
band of Mrs. Frances E. Crocker that
was. In a brief message to Attorney Gil
bert Wyman, -who had charge of the old
man's affairs, Thorne tells the story of
his matrimonial move, the fifth in a life
that has passed the eightieth milestone.
As soon as Wyman received word from
his aged client the po+ice were notified.
It had been reported two weeks ago that
Thorne had mysteriously disappeared.
The detectives, after investigation, de
clared that from numerous letters the,y
had found in Thome's residence they
were satisfied he had gone East on a
marrying expedition. Correspondence
with Mrs. Crocker was brought to light,
and ample evidence was disclosed to show
that the peculiar East Oaklander had set
out to win another bride.

If New York or Chicago bad a chance to
ties, but to-day that work was
dedicated to the use of the public, and
the. only wagon road tunnel in the Sta^p
was declared finished and a success.
There were special exercises for this
event, and the. people of Contra Costa
County and the people of Alameda Coun
ty, who have been more closely united by
this event, assembled to congratulate one
another. Supervisors, Mayors, public of
ficials and private! citizens met, first at
the tunnel at the summit of the ridge and
later in Oakland, and finally at the ban
quet table. The rain of the night before
and the threatening sky did not dampen
the ardor of those who had laborer! so
long and so earnestly for this result. The
affair was in charge of the tunnel com
mittee of the Merchants' Exchange and
the Boards of Supervisors of the two
counties. <
The exercises were, attended by a large
party of guests from Alameda County,
who were first taken on a tour of inspec
tion to the tunnel, where a basket lunch
was served, after which the party re
paired to Idora Park, where the formal
dedicatory exercises were held.
The Alameda County delegation left the
headquarters of the Merchants* Exchange
at 9:30 o'clock this morning, many of the
guests arriving late, as they thought that
the dedication would be postponed on ac
count of the threatening weather. It was
necessary to notify a number by tele
phone that the programme would be car
ried out rain or shine, and this delayed
the start nearly half an hour.
The party occupied three large buses,
and on the way to the tunnel Supervisor
H. D. Rowe pointed out the difficulties
which were overcome in building the new
road and called, attention to the great
amount of work which had been accom
plished In the last three months.
INSPECTION MADE.
On arriving at the tunnel the-ijarty was
given time to Inspect the work of the en
gineers, after which refreshments were
served. During the lunch, which was
spread In picnic fashion. Secretary Wil
bur Walker of the Merchants' Exchange
proposed the following tc-ast: "The Inter
county tunnel— may it be the forerunner
of many similar children of prosperity."
George H. Smith then called for three
cheers for the tunnel committee and the
Boards of Supervisors of both counties,
and the cheers were glven^wlth a will.
The members of the party who visited
the tunnel this morning were:
Supervisor H. D. Rowe, J. F. W. Sohst, Wil
ber Walker. W. F. Burbank, H. C. Capw.l!,

where the formal exercises were held.
J. F. W. Sohst, chairman of the tunnel
committee, opened the literary pro
gramme with a short history of the work
done by the Merchants'. Exchange In be
half of the tunnel.. He said In part:
The barrier which has kept Alameda and
Contra Costa counties apart for more than half
a century and hindered our development has
been removed by the Inter-county tunnel, and
the present generation and those to come after
us will, enjoy the fruit which p iblic spirited
citizens have prepared for them.

For almost a quarter of a century the
road lay on the hillside uncompleted and
the Contra Costa County residents con
tinued to use the old roads and meet
with disaster and injury until the Mer
chants' Exchange of Oakland took the
matter in hand. They found It neces
sary to secure the passage of a special
law that would permit counties to build
inter-county tunnels. This was done and
then it was found that more of the tun
nel was in Contra Costa County than in
Alameda. The exchange then undertook
to raise by private subscription enough
money in Oakland to make the cost of
the same to the little county across tho
hills as to the larger county to the. east.
This was done and nearly $12,000 raised,
of which $10,000 was paid to the Contra
Costa Supervisors and the balance ex
pended upon the Alameda County side of
the hill. The subscriptions to this fund
were:

to the tunnel each would pay a million dollars
or more for it. How does It come to our city?
No public meetings. No petition to the City
Council. No bond election. Nj issuing of
bonds. "Without spendinn one cent, this mag
nificent improvement is dropped into Oakland's
lap
Mr. Sohst, as chairman of the tunnel
committee, then formally turned the tun
nel over to President Theodore Gier of
the Merchants' Exchange, who accepted
It in the name of the exchange and then
presented the completed work to the Su
pervisors of Contra Costa and Alameda
counties.
The address of the day was delivered
by Senator E. K. Taylor of Alameda,
who pointed out the beneilt the tunnel
would be to the two counties. Short
speeches were mpde by Supervisors
Mitchell and Rowe of Alameda County
and Chairman Wightman of the Cqntra
Costa County Board of Supervisors.
The history of the inter-county tunnel
Is an interesting one, extending back to
the early '70s. In those days the popu
lous part of Contra Costa County was
in the agricultural valleys in the Interior.
It was the desire of the farmers of that
section to reach tide water at Oakland,
ami several roads were built across the
hills. But these roads were run upon
lines that Involved the greatest economy
of construction and grades were not care
fully considered. But stages were run
from Oakland to various parts of the
neighboring county and travel and traffic
came from the Alameda County side of
the hills.
Then it was that the late L. W. Kenne
dy conceived the idea of building a toll
road across these hills with a tunnel that
would permit of easy grade upon each
side. He organized a private company
for the purpose and the road was built to
the mouth of the proposed tunnel. Work
was begun upon the hole in the hill, but
a rush of water was struck to the extent
that it collapsed the tunnel and the com
pany at the same time.

CUPID'S URGING
FORCES JOURNEY
Nelson was to have appeared in court
on the first Monday of October. Instead
h<» says that he came to the Pacific Coast
in quest of a man who owed him money.
He will not give the man's name nor the
amount, and the police are disinclined to
believe the story, as it does not seem pos
sible that Nelson would be willing to for
te5t $5000 which had been put up by his
friends had he not some reason for wish
ing to escape justice. Nelson says that
his wife and child are residing at the
present time at jO7 Eleventh street, Oak
land. An investigation last night dis
closed the fact that th^re is no such num
ber In either Kast or West Oakland.
FICTITIOUS ADDRESS.
In explanation of the arrest Nelson says
that some time ago his brother, John O.
Nelson, was arrested and convicted on a
charge of murder in the 6econd degree.
While the case was on appeal the defend
ant, who was out on bonds, went to Okla
homa and was prevented from appearing
flt the next session of the court by the
Kansas floods. Nelson, who is in jail here,
claims that he had incurred the displeas
ure of Circuit Judge Thomas Flannelly by
criticising him severely In his petition for
an appeal, and that the Judge had a war.
rant sworn out for his arrest on a charge
of having obstructed justice by secreting
a prisoner. He was released on $j000
bonds, and says that he soon afterward
went to St. Louis to promote an oil
Fcheme.
Nelson cays he was an attorney in Cof
feevllle, Kan. He has many letters from
prominent persons, but most of them are
in relation to the advancement of some
enterprise. He is a glib talker and does
not belie the circular in that respect.
Since leaving Kansas he has grown a
mustache and chin whiskers. It was
clever work on the part of the detective
in recognizing him, for Tils appearance
has changed considerably. He boasts of
his family connections and of high social
relation* in the plae« from which he
comes.
XELSON'S EXPLANATION.
Nelson pave t>on<Js hrr© in the rum of $0000
for his appearance at the District Criminal
Court of Montgomery Countr, Kejis. He fail
ed to appear and his bond has been forfeited
and a t*n<*h warrant issued. Nelson Us a good
talker, and always has tome scheme on loot.
He will talk law. horse or any old thing, and
is fairly well jx>sted on the sreneral topics
of the day. He /ias a wife and & little girl
with h!m.
At th» request of the Sheriff of Mont
gomery County, Kansas, David R. Nel
son, who claims to be an attorney, was
arrested yesterday afternoon and is now
held at the City Prison. The arrest was
made by Detective Tim BaHey at Clay
and Drumm streets. Bailey recognized
Nelson from a circular received by the
local police department. The specific
charge for which the prisoner la wanted
is not known, owing to the fact that
Captain of Detectives Martin has been
unable to receive additional details, but
It is supposed to be a grave one. The
circular on which the arrest was made
contains the following:
With nearly an Inch of rain as the rec
ord for ¦ the opening of the first
storm of the winter, residents of the
Frultvale district within the city limits
have increased their clamor for protec
tion against the storm water drained upon
the streets from the outside hill slopes.
A condition, peculiar to the double-headed
government, city and county, that Oak
land bends under, is met in the efforts of
City Engineer P. C. Turner, backed by
the City Council and the administration,
to afford the desired relief.
All of the storm water that runs in tor
rents into the low places, stretching east

the Twenty-third-avenue business district
and on toward Fruitvale, is from rainfall
on the sloping watershed that Is entirely
outside of municipal jurisdiction and en
tirely within, the County Board of Su
pervisors' political domain.
Appeal has been made to the board for
the relief by appropriation for construc
tion of a storm water drainage system,
tho county to contribute the greater por
tion of the money. But that appeal has
been met first by a construction of the
law blocking the work, then an attempt
to induce each Supervisor to make an ap
propriation from road district funds to
cover the needed amount. Down to date
the movement has lagged. There has not
been the spontaneous response that the
East Oaklanders would desire to be made
by the Supervisors.
The section most seriously affected Is
along East Fourteenth street, a connec
tion for the main traveled San Leandro
road into Oakland. Because City En
gineer Turner has been active in trying
to remedy conditions he has been the
target for criticism from county officials,
who asserted that he was not warranted
in so-called Interference. Sentiment has
been strongly aroused In East Oakland
concerning the apparent delay in reach
ing a settlement of the financial difficulty.
So far as the city of Oakland Is con
cerned it is estimated that the taxpay
ers contribute 70 per cent to the county
roads funds, of which not one dollar is
expended within the city limits. This is
the result of liberal transfers by the
Board of Supervisors from the general
fund of the county to the various district
road funds.

TOWN AND GOWN
APPROVES BONDS
PHOENIX. Ariz., Nov. 4.— President B.
P. Kipley, Second Vice President Paul
Morton, Third Vice President J. W. Kon
drick and other officials of the Santa F«
system arrived here early this, morning,
spent a few hours in Phoenix and- Mesa
City and continued their journey to Pres
cott and other northern points. The visit
is mainly for the purpose of Inspecting
the Santa Fe lines and connections In tha
Southwest. Judging from, the personnel
of the* gentlemen with whom the officials
were in conference it is supposed one mat
ter under consideration was the feasibil
ity of the construction of a branch of the
Santa Fe system from Mesa City to Gold
fleld, twenty miles long, cutting off that
much in the wagon haul necessary in tak
ing freight to the sito uf the Tonto stor
age dam, soon to be constructed. The
visit also give3 rise to further speculation
respecting the plans of the Santa Fa to
construct Its main line from a point in
New Mexico through the Gila and Salt
River valleys to Phoenix, thence north
west to the Colorado River south of Tha
Needlea. Should this be done, as is gen
erally believed it would be within the
next two or three years, the road wtlukl
avoid the heavy grades on tho present
line running through Northern Arizona.
That mental treatment of disease Is preva
lent as a fact is shown by the prominence of
the mind curlst, the Christian Scientist ana
the like. It is also more or less prominent
in osteopathy. Tha reasons for the spread
of this is largely due to the growing recogni
tion of the importance of suggestion as <t
means of influencing the physical conduct of
the body and also to the fact that regular
practitioners, who have heretofore been rather
conservative in adopting mental suggestion as
a treatment, are now coming into the fold.
Hypnotlsnj is getting more and more prevalent
as a means of treatment and Is being recog
nized by scientific men everywhere. Proba
bly some day, not very far away, mental sug
gestion and psychology will be part of the
regular equipment of all medical men.
So much for the practical work. On the
con-practical side, the advantage will be in
favor of increased opportunities for research.
The abnormal cases that a. regular physician
often finds will add to the science of psychol
ogy. It *-will finally tend to offset a certain
narrowness of view, as if the body were the
whole man. In this way the physicians' own
estimate of human nature will be altered, his
powers of sympathy enlarged and his whole
work given greater value.
Dr. Stratton also said that psychology
had recently developed more on the ex
perimental side than ever before and that
the researches were of inestimable value
to the practice of medicine. For the gen
eral background for medical study he ad
vocated the study of biology, which, he
said, is coming into closer contact with
psychology all the time.

The evening exercises were held at the
Ebell Society parlors, where the Mer
chants' Exchange gave a banquet In
honor of the opening of the tunnel. Nearly
every member of the exchange was pres
ent and there were a large number of ln
lnted guests.
After the banquet A. Jones introduced
the toastmaster of the evening. President
Theodore Gier of the Merchants' Ex
change, who gave a brief outline of the
work done by the exchange in the enter
prise, and then introduced Secretary Wil
bur Walker, who related the history of
the tunnel. He told of the collections
for the work made by the tunnel commit
tee, totaling $11,853 40.
Mayor Warren Olney was Introduced
and he congratulated the tunnel commit
tee on the great work which, through
their efforts, had been completed. The
Mayor said, in part:
"On behalf of the citizens of Oakland
I wish to thank you for the work you
have done in the removal of the barrier
between the two counties. When I was
invited to speak here this evening I was
informed that I might choose my own
subject. I do not think that I could
choose a better or more appropriate one
than the subject of 'Good Roads,' and I
have faith enough in the people of this
city to believe that in the near future
the city and county of Oakland, If you
please, will present such attractions that
our neighbors will be willing to build
good roads in order to reach our city."
Judge Henry A. Melvin responded to
the toast "All Roads Will Lead to Oak
land."
Hon. W. R- Davis, a former Mayor of
Oakland, spoke of the city twenty years
ago, to-day and in the future. " J. D.
Wightman, chairman of the Board of Su
pervisors of Contra Costa County, ex
; pressed the thanks of the people of that
county to the members of the Merchants'
I Exchange and the tunnel committee.
I Among the other speakers were: Su
! pervisor H. D. Rowe, Judge George Sam
uels, J. F. W. Sohst. H. C. Capwell and
Supervisor Joseph M. Kelly of Alameda
County.
G. M. Stratton, professor of psychology
at the University of California, believes
that the time will soon come when a
knowledge of psychology will be an Im
portant part of the regular equipment Of
medical practitioners. His opinion is
based on the observation that there is an
increasing recognition of the importance
of suggestion in the treatment of mental
diseases and the growing influence of the
mind curlst and the Christian Scientist.
Dr. Stratton voiced his opinions in a
lecture before the Harvey Club in East
Hall to-night. His subject was "Psychol
ogy and the Training of the Physician."
In part he said:

« For about two years I suffered from a T«y
obstinate case of dyspepsia." writea R. B. Sccord .
Esq., of 13 Eastern Ave., Toronto, Ontario. "I
tried a treat number of remedies without suc-
cesj. I finally lost faith ia them all. I was so
far gone that I could not for a lea? tisie bear
any solid food in my stomach ; fait melancholy
and depressed. Some four months ago a friend
recommended your ' Golden Medical Dijcoverjr.'
'Alter a week's treatment I bad derived » much
benefit that I continued the medicine, I hare
taken three bottles and am convinced it has
in my case accomplished a permaneat cure. I -
can conscientiously recommend It to tie tioo-
eands of dyspeptics throughout the laad."
A man can succeed and be «trongif
he heeds Nature's warnings. When
there is indigestion, loss of appetite,
ringing in the ears, dizziness, spots be-
fore the eyes or palpitation of the heart ;
any or all of these symptoma point to
weakness and loss of nutrition. Dr.,
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery ts thei
medicine to turn to.

opium, cocaine and all other narcotics.
It is strictly a temperance medidnc.
Accept no substitute for "Golden Med-
