BEGIN LIVE ANEW.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3 F.' Henry
Schlenx, an aged veteran of the civil
war, appeared in the local land office
Saturday to make his final proof on
government land located in San Diego
county. Though he and his wife have
each passed the four-scare-year mark,
they are bravely beginning life anew
In the far west. Five years' resi
dence Is required on homestead
claims, but the four years' service in
the union army enables Schlenx to
make his final proof at the expira
tion of the first year.
"Wife and I are working on our
little place as If we were just start
ing life," said the veteran proudly.
"I ain't a spry as I used to be, bat
we raise all we want to eat and have
some garden truck and eggs to sell.
I think the government Is mighty
good to us old soldiers. I served four
years for Uncle Sam, and would have
continued to shoulder my musket,
only the war ended. I hope we won't
ever have another war, but if we do,
I am ready to fight for my country,"
Btoutly asserted this eighty-year-old
fighter.
He handed Receiver Robinson of
the land office several worn discharge
papers, yellow with age and frayed
with frequent handling. The docu
ments showed that Schlenx never rose
above the rank of private. "I wasn't
cut out for an officer,"' he said, "but
I always obeyed orders. I guess the
men in the ranks are needed as much
as the officers."
She Likes Good Things.
Mrs. Chas. E. Smith, of West
Fisnklln, Maine, writes- "I like good
things and have adopted Dr. King's
Njw I ife Pills as our family .axatlve
medicine, because they are rood ami

WOMAN IN THE CASE.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 3. R. F.
Parkhurst, assistant cashier of the
First National bank, who got away
with 48,330, led a double life.
Though the name of the woman for
whom he maintained private apart
ments is known to the prosecution,
she will not be drawn Into the case,
unless It is necessary. Parkhurst
maintained his two establishments
for three and a half year. This does
not cover half the time he was taking
the bank's funds.
When Parkhurst was taken before
Cnited States Commissioner Bowman
today he announced as he had been
arrested the preceding day, he would
require time to procure an attorney
aad make bis plea. He was undis
turbed and Immaculately dresed.
It developed today that Parkhurst
two weeks ago began an attempt to
raise money and square his account
with the bank. He was trying to pre
ent discovery and prosecution, but
the effort failed.

WALLACE, Idaho, Aug. 4. All
hope ot a compromise between tbe
two factions ot the Democratic party
the Dubois and the anti-Dubols
factions were abandoned tonight,
where It was announced that tbe two
reconciliation committees had failed
to meet on a common ground. The
result is probably that there will be
two Democratic conventions tomor

I which is the legal convention will be
left to final adjudication at the hands
of the state 8upreme court.
Word was received this afternoon
by the anti-Dubols faction from Du
bois himself, asking for a conciliating
conference. The antls appointed a
committee, headed by Judge Stock
slander, which met and submitted a
written proposition to the Dubois
committee, headed ty Dubois, who
submitted, also, a written proposition.
Almost immediately afterwards the
Dubois people notified Stockslander
that they could not accept his propo

The principal demands of the Du
bois committee were the insertion of
an anti-polygamy plank; that, except
aa to the Ada county delegates, who
were yielded to the antis, the dele
gate not on the temporary roll of
the state central committee be seated,
and that the convention itself appor

The antls proposed that there be
no campaign against the Mormons,

from Gingham, Fremont, Oneida and
Bear Lake counties conceded to the
Dubois crowd, and that the nomina

two factions.
LETTER FROM LITTLE GIRL.
HOT SPRINGS, Vs., Aug. 1.
Judge Taft, In discussing the addret-.
he is to deliver Thursday to the Vir
ginia Bar association, said today lie
believes the greatest question before
tbe American people Is the Improve
ment of tbe administration of jus
tice, both civil and criminal, In the
matter both of its prompt dispatch
and cheapening of Its use. He said
It is a difficult problem to make the
administration equal to poor and rich,
because of the ability of the rich man
to employ counsel and stand the ex
pense of litigation, and a poor man
is not. Taft intimated that he would
dwell at some length on his subject
In his address.
This was congratulation day for
Taft upon his letter of acceptance,
and among the letters received was
one from Senator Cullem, who sayB:
"You did not fall to meet every
possible Issue, and you have left the
Oemocrats without a leg to stand
on."
One letter, whlcu Taft places at
the head of tbe list, Is from Anna
Katherlne Griffiths, 2553 North In
gleside street, Cincinnati. Little
Miss Griffiths assures Judge Taft that
she likes him, "because her daddy
does." The young lady announces
that she thought she "would find out
how many people on our street are
going to vote for you." She found
14 who are and one who is going to
vote the temperance ticket,
"So I am sure you will be elected,"
she concluded.
For Sore- Feet.
"I have found Bucklen's Arnica
Salve to be the proper thing to use
for sore feet, as well as for healing
burns, sores, cuts and all manner of
abrasions," writes Mr. W. Stone, of
East Poland, Maine. It Is the proper
thing too for piles. Try It! Sold un

BOOTH IS ACQUITTED.
PORTLAND, Aug. 3. Separate
verdicts of acquittal were reported In
the United States court at 0:30
o'clock Sunday morning against each
of the three defendants in the Booth
Singleton conspiracy case, Robert A.
Booth, ex-state senator; James Henry
Booth, ex-receiver of the Roseburg
land office, and their brother-in-law,
Thomas E. Singleton.
The jury retired at 2:40 p. m. Sat
urday and agreed on verdict in fa
vor of all three defendants at 9:15
o'clock Sunday morning. Judge
Wolverton was notified and the ver
dict were received and read shortly
before 10 o'clock. Robert E. Davis
of this city was foreman ot the jury.
The verdict acquitting Robert A.
Booth of any complicity In the alleged
conspiracy amounted to a completo
vindication. It was apparent to those
attending the trial that the govern
ment failed to connect him with the
transaction and that the jury so re
garded the case was confirmed by the
fact that It voted unanimously on the
first ballot for his acquittal.
But It was in considering the cases
of James Henry Booth and Single
ton that the jury failed to agree for
several hours. But at no time did
more than two ot the 12 men vote
for conviction aa against either of
these defendants. For the first few
ballots, Jurors Frank H. Wall and
A. B. Gibson voted for conviction.
Wall joined the majority before 10
o'clock Saturday night, when the Jury
came Into court and received some
minor Instructions, but Gibson held
out until about 9 o'clock Sonday
morning.

IGNOItANCK KILLS BABES.
CHICAGO. Aug. 4. During the
month of July 669 babies under one
year ot age died In Chicago. Most
of these deaths the health depart
ment believes were the result of the
Ignorance ot parents. Probably two-
thirds could have been saved.
Unsanitary premises and poor
quality of milk, according to the
physclans who have been Investigat
ing the congested districts under the
direction of the health department,
have less to do with the high Infant
mortality than generally Is supposed.
By far the greater part of sickness
among babies, the health authorities'
bulletin asserts, has been due to lack
of proper care. Improper food, over
feeding, overdressing, lack of cleanli
ness and want of fresh air are factors
that produce Illness that kill babies
in hot weather.
