satisfactory and the request for the
adoption of the resolution by the con

"With a vote of thanks to the people
of Sacramento and Judge Burnett the
convention adjourned sine die with
three cheers for the Republican ticket.
Chairman Burnett asked if there
were any other nominations. The
silence was impressive and the tick of
the clock could be heard. Then as
Secretary Ryan cast the unanimous
ballot of the convention for the nomi

throughout the corridors of the Capi

Nominations for alternates of dele
gates at large were called for and
Oscar Lawlor placed F. K. Rule of Los
Angeles In nomination as the alter

The Republicans of the State of California, in
convention assembled, declare their continued al
legiance to the principles and policies of the Na
tional Republican party, under whose guidance and
control the nation has steadily advanced in prosper
ity and greatness until it has become one of the fore
most powers of the world.
We here reaffirm our faith in those principles and
policies. We declare in favor of continued protec
tion to American industry and labor: a sound sys
tem of finance; the building up of an American mer
chant marine, that our carrying trade be under
wir own flag; a navy ample for all purposes of of
fense and defense and its construction in part at
Government navy yards; the immediate construction
of the Panama Canal; the continuance of the policy
of Chinese exclusion; the complete protection of
every American citizen in his constitutional rights
everywhere; the/ improvement of the . navigable
streams of the United States and all necessary ap
propriations therefor, and the policy of national ex

the reclamation 'of the arid lands and the work now
being inaugurated by the national administration to
that end. _';:*¦ };¦'/;
These principles and policies we have seen exem

a President under whose control the affairs of the
nation have been successfully managed and to whose

administration of the Government for the next four

We '.therefore instruct the delegates this day

ST. PAUL, Minn., May 19. — Mrs.
Stella Hammond of Seattle, Wash.,
dropped dead here at the home of her
sister, Mrs. J. N. Savard, after th« lat
ter had undergone a dangerous opera
tion for cancer of the stomach. Mrs.
Hammond apparently was in good
health. The nervous strain of assist
ing at the operation is supposed to
have brought on a stroke of apoplexy.
The operation on Mrs. Savard, it is
said, was one of the most difficult In
surgical science and included a re
moval of a part of the patient's stom
ach. Five surgeons worked four
hours to perform the operation.

NEW YORK, May 19. — A piece of

long and sharpened .to a needle-like
point has been removed from the right
hand of Rosalie Layko, a nine-year
old Brooklyn schoolgirl. The pencil
had been working its way about the
child's body since January last, when
she swallowed it while at play. Ef
forts to remove it from her stomach
then proved of no avail and for sev
eral weeks she has complained of
pains in the side and shoulder. Fin
ally the object moved down through
her arm and caused the hand to swell.
The doctors were greatly astonished
upon applying the lancet and encoun

say there is no record of so large a
substance passing through the human
body in a similar manner.

Robert Girard Mitchell of Maryland,
81 years old,^ died in Atlantic City

Two State tickets, the one headed by

conventions were characterized by or
der and the absence of fierce strife.' So
careful were the anti-third termers to
preserve the standing of Wisconsin in
the National Republican ranks that
they chose electors identical with those
'picked by the La Follette men. This

EUREKA LIBRARY.
The recent successful/ art and loan
exhibit given at the Santa Cruz Pub
lic Library reveals the hold secured by
this library upon the people of Santa
Cruz. They have always extended to
their library an unwavering and gen
erous support. When the $20,000 gift
was obtained from Mr. Carnegie it
became the ambition of the library
trustees, the librarian and architect to
produce the most convenient and ac
ceptable building that was possible.
More than sixty meetings of the li
brary board have been held, criticisms
of the building plans were freely asked
and given and the generous enthusi
asm of the public has lately provided
equipments and many beautiful orna
ments for the rooms. The site for the
building was purchased upon terms
which are easv for the board to meet:
$40 per month for ten years.
One of the libraries of San Fran
cisco of which the public hears but lit
tle, but whSch is accomplishing val
uable work, is that of the Academy of
Sciences. It is not a circulating library
and Its 12,000 volumes of scientific
works are purely for reference use.
They are in fourteen different lan
guages. Among: the publications may
be found the proceedings of most of
the important scientific societies of the
world. The majority of the patrons of
this library are instructors and pro
fessors.
The Oakland Public Library Board

The feeling of unrest found vent in
the introduction of a resolution pro
viding that the convention proceed to
the nomination of candidates for office
other than Governor, but the propo
sition was defeated. None of the
gubernatorial candidates wanted the
resolution to go through, and the candi
dates for minor offices were too timid
to insist upon it, fearing such action
would hurt their chances. The pro
longed fight is bearing heavily on the
men who want the smaller places._ All
of them have been maintaining head
quarters which cost them from $50 to
$100 a day. As the salaries of State
officers in Illinois are very small, even
the successful candidates will be behind
in a financial way when the convention
adjourns. Some of them closed their
headquarters to-day.
The ballots taken to-day were with
out change in the result. Sherman's
men continued to vote for Deneen
throughout the day, but he made no
further gains, and on the last ballot
to-night Sherman's men returned to
him.
The result of the last ballot taken
to-night, the fifty-seventh, was: Tates
483, Lowden 393'£, Deneen 388%.

Many of the delegates left town this
morning and some said they would not
come back until some of the guberna

Their votes were cast- by the mqre
faithful of the delegates, and in some
instances a single delegate voted an

ver, who. in company with Fred Le

sentence in Marquette prison by Judge
Wiest. It was his third offense for
burglary. Judge Wiest says that the
statute provides that where a prisoner
has been twice sentenced for felony
and is again convicted he may be sen
tenced for life.
"Since Oliver was first sentenced in
1881," said the Judge, "he has been
under arrest more times than he can
tell. He has served thirteen years for
burglary. I believe the statute re
ferred to was framed for the purpose
of ridding society of just such men as
I consider Oliver to be."

When the Republican party assumed control
