been conducting the campaign are:
The Alameda Couiity Republicans
have been conducting their own cam
paign and with their own 'members of
the party. While they have found time
to have their own meetings and work
in behalf of the local ticket they have
also, been able to spare a few notables
for use in more doubtful parts of the
State. Senator Perkins, Governor Par r
dee. Judge Melvin and many others
have left this county and are doing
earnest . work both north and south.
But while these are working away
from their home county the local Re
publicans are fighting away for more
votes for the whole ticket In this
county.

The failure of an automobile brake to
work at a critical moment resulted in
an accident, yesterday afternoon In
which Mrs. Victor H. Metcalf. the' wife
of the Secretary of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, Philip E.
Bowles, president of the First National
Back, Mrs. Bowles and Mr. Ldttlefield,
a friend of Hr. Bowles, narrowly, es
caped serious injury. The Occident
happened on a steep hill on Baya Vista
street In Piedmont. While all the mem
bers of the party wer« badly shaken
up, only Mr. Bowles, who was operat
ing the machine, was injured. .
The party were enjoying a ride
through the Piedmont district and
everything went well until the auto
mobile struck the hill, which is very
Eteep. When near the top of the hill
the engine suddenly stopped and an
insu^xt later the machine began to run
backward down the hill. Mr. Bowles
at once applied thr brake, but it re
fused to work and as the" speed in
creased h© realised that the car was
beyond control. Crying: to the others
to Jump, he turned the machine In
toward the bank at the side of the road.
Am the wheels, struck the curb the
shock hurled it against the bank side
ways and It was overturned.
Just before the machine ran up on
the bank Mrs. Metcalf Jumped from
the car and escaped unhurt. Mrs.
Bowles, and Mr. IJttlefleld were un-<
able to get out In time and were thrown
from the machine when it overturned,
but fortunately both fell clear of the
car. Mr. Bowles was caught beneath
the machine and received a deep., cut
on the face and a number of painful
bruises. .His injuries were not serious,
however, and he was able to attend to
business to-day.
The automobile was but little dam
aged. . It was righted and the party re
turned home but little the worse" for
the mishap". Bfe^jfe ; ; >•.*;¦-

ORDER'S ANNIVERSARY
OAKLAND, Opt. SI.— Mars and
Bacchus united last night in casting a
spell # upon the fortunes of infant Peter
Saraco, whose christenings was the oc
casion ' of a merry, riotous outbreak.
In which gleamed '"long, thin blades"
of sunny .Italy. The knife wlelders
were overheated by much . tippling in
celebration of the momentous event.
Red wine overflowed at the Saraco
christening. The friends and the neigh
bors went to I the , Saraco residence,
Thirteenth and Kirkham streets,, in
Buch . numbers that they, too, over
flowed. . After many of the visitors
had drunk toasts galore to the heir of
Saraco the crowd repaired to the more
commodious dwelling of Charles Balag-
no. 1371 Thirteenth street; There .the
red wine ran In risers* and the guests
became Joyful, noisy and then* bellig
erent.
Late in the night Giochino Ducio ran
amuck. He -flashed a knife and it Is
charged started to out John Ferraro
Into- ribbons. In the melee Duclo -was
driven' from the house only to' return
to the attack. ' Then Police Sergeant
Frank Lynch and Patrolman John
Murphy arrived, summoned by some of
the celebrating friends who had not
lost their heads. The christening party
broke up with the hauling away of
I>uolo to the City Prison. "He .forfeited
bail In the Police Court this morning
and "Little 'Italy" resumed its normal

PEEMANENCE OF CUEE.
The Chief Merit. .
Many so-called pile remedies will af-
ford the user slight temporary relief,
and the majority of sufferers do not ex-
pect mere than this.' Women especial-
ly, after having tried every preparation
recommended for the cure of _ Piles,
have come to the conclusion that there
is no cure except by an operation. This
is rightfully viewed with dread, be-
cause of th« shock to the delicate ner-
vous system of women, and many of
those afflicted . hav«' resigned them-
selves to the situation .with never a
thought that there Is any help in eight
for them. " . r
We invite the attention of all such to
th» experience of the lady whose ad-
ss iz- given below.
I. feel it my duty to recommend the
ramid Pile Cure, for after suffering
a years with a most distressing form
Piles I am entirely cured, thanks to
lis remedy. Any one . doubting this
an write to Margaret . Brady, 156
Vhitman St., Cleveland, Ohio."
Ten months later she writes "I am
id to eay that I .am still perfectly
from Piles and liave not had the
test trouble since I first used your
*dy. I am well lenown in Cleveland
have advertised Pyramid Pile Cure
>».#nslvely here. I take pleasure in
floing so as it caved me from an opera-
tion, which I always dreaded, and you
are assured the remedy can have no
firmer advocate than JL". .
. Testimony like this should convince
the most skeptical that Pyramid '.Pile
rvire not only cures, but cures to stay
. ed. It is in the form of a supposl-
r; can be applied in the privacy of
* home directly to the parts affected
id • does its work quickly .-and - pain-
issly.
Druggists sell this famous remedy for
'ty cents a package, and we urge all
\fferers to buy a package now and
re it a trial to-night. Accept no Sub-
. tutes. - *
tfrite Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,
MiVh.. for their little book on the cause
anq cure of Piles, which is sent free for
the -tusking.
