With an American Eagle at her bow, the cap-def'nder Reliance was launched at the Herreshoff works just before euadowm today. 500 persons stood beside tbe glistening nnderbody of the yacbfc when at 5:31 o'clock this afterBoon Miss Cora Iselin, daugh terot u. Oliver l3elin, managing wor of the boat, broke with a sil ver hammer the traditional bottle of champagne. Baying at the time: ! ctarUten tbee Reliance, and may God bless thee." Liurd wreaths and bunches of pinka tied with red and black rib boa, the racing colors of Mr. Ise lia, were festoooed forward, and as the yacht slowly drew out of the elip the American yacht ensign was raised at the stern, with Mr. Ise lin' a private eignal amidships, and the colors of the New York Yacht Club at the bow. Three thousand persons in steam yachts, rowboats, on the two piers and back on the street behind the shop greeted the plunge of the Re liance with lusty cheers while a bugler on a torpedo boat played "Tb Star Spangled Banner." Aasoagthe yachts anchored off tbe works was the Constitution, toe unsuccessful candidate for cup hon ors two yeais ago, and this year de signed to be one of the keenest riv als of the Reliance. The Constitu tion was gaily bedecked with flags, and as the Reliance lay for a few moments along side of her old sis ter, eonae comparison of the lines of the two boats could be made. It was then seen that the bow of the Reliance turns oat of the water more sharply, that her stern is low er and natter, and that she has a trifle less freeboard. The new boat, however, was som hauled into the dock, where f he will be rigged. It is expected that she will have her trial spin in about tea days, after which she will have thorough trying-out meetings with both the Constitution and the Co lumbia in a series of 35 racs in Long Island Sound, off Sandy Hook and at Newport. Should she prove superior to her two rivals, she will meet the Shamrock III in the first f tbe cup races on August 21.

IN A, 'S racetor cffick 1 Salt Lake City, Apirl 11. Brie- ham Young, President of the coun cil of Twelve Apostles of the Mor mon church, died in this city to night after a lingering iliness. Apostle Young was the second son and fourth ' child of the late President Brigham, Young, and was born with a twin sister, Mary Ann, December 18, 1836, at Kirt land, O. His mother was Mary Ann Angell Young, second wife of the fir.-t Brigham. His father was a widower with two little girls when he married Miss Angell, and she took care of the little girl. . Through all the troubles inci dent to the stirring days in tbe ear ly history of Mormonism, Apostle Young grew to manhood, being on ly 12 years old when he drove a yoke of oxen from Winter Quarters to Salt Lake City, in 1848, the year following the pioneer movement. In this citv he received his educa tion and passed most of his life in tne ordinary pursuits ot young men of the time, at last developing into a promising elderof his cburcb. He herded stock and performed much hard labor in the valleys and caryous. He was one of the mm' ute-men in tbe fight with IndiaDS during the early days of the terri tory, aod was a scout in the Echo Caoyon war. Ran Twelve ' Hundred "Ahead of His Ticket--Hia ; Nomination at Albany Convention f Ranted Nobody Else Something About -Him. Shreveport, La., April Jl. Mrs. Alice Matthews, aged 45 years, wife of Frank Matthews, a well-known civil engineer, was brutally murder ed in her bed early this morning by a negro. The woman's little daugh ter, Alice, aged 10, waa fatally wounded. An ax was the. instru ment employed in both cases. Ed Porter, a negro strongly suspected of the crime, was shot to death by two police sergeants while attempt ing to escape. He had been run down at a point about five miles frond Shreveport. The discovery of the crime was made at 5:30 this morning by a ser vant, wbo entered the bedroom of Mrs. Matthews. The unfortunak woman, who was almost hacked to pieces, had been dead for some time. Her daughter was still alive when the servant entered. Entrance was effected through a side window and, although thtre were 15 persons in the bouse, which is situated in the heart of the residence district of Shreveport, no one heard a suspi cious sound during the night. The skull of Mrs. Matthews was crushed and she bore evidence of having been otherwise assaulted. The child's skull was fractured, chest crushed and shoulder lacer ated. Mrs. Matthews wore a dia mond ring and -diamond earrings, which were not touched by the murderer, and three-packet books containing money were in the room, showing that assault furnished the motive for the crime. An ax cov ered with blood and hair was found in the kitchen. Bloodhounds took up the trail, but lost it after going a short dis tance. A Kansas City Southern engineer, notified the police of the appearance of a negro covered with blood on the tracks on the railroad and a posse was organized to hunt him down. The posse separated aod Sergeants Gerald and Roquer erare soon came upon the negro. He- made a desperate dash for a ra vine, and the officers . fired four shots at him, two of which took ef fect in his back, killing him in stantly. The negro's clothing was covered with blood and his shoes Frankfort, Ky., April 11. In the trial of James Howard tor the m order of Governor William Goe bel, 11 witnesses for the common wealth testified today. All had been on tbe stand at former trials of the case and their testimo ny was offered for the purpose of showing the bringing of armed mountain men to Frankfort, the shooting of ' William Goebel, his death and the post mortem exam ination and its showing. The trial will $be proceeded with Monday morning. Henry Youtsey will not be called before Tuesday and prob ably later. j : ' - SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP. Cured by One Bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. "When I had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with:, one bottle of Chamberlain's . Cough Remedy," say a Frank W. Perry', Editor of the Enterprise Shortsville N. Y. "This is the honesttruth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and when the cough ing spell would come on at night I would'take a dose and it seemed that in the -briefest interval the caugh would pas3 off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompanying " pains. To' say that the remedy acted, as a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the gripsimply because I bad never tried it for such a purpose, but it did and it seemed with the second attack o coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less du ration but tbe pains were far less severe and I had not used the con tents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adeiu," For J. sale by Allen and Woodward. Washington, April 11. The quartermasters of Portland, Seattle and San Francisco have been di rected to advertise for bids for 10,000,000 feet of lumber for ship ment to the Philippines. Included in the contract wiil be 2500 doors Danger of Colds and Grip. The greatest danger from colds and grips is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who hare need this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which show conclusively that , it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disea se. It will cure a cold or an attack of the grip in less time . than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take. . For sale by Allen and Woodward. Albany, April 11. A. E. Reames of Jackson county, who is certain to prove a most powerful and pop ular opponent to Binger Hermaian in the congressional rtce, waa. nom inated here todav bv tbe democrats. He is 41 years of age, and is a son in-law of the late Congress-ran Tongue. He is one of the most brilliant orators in Oregon and in accepting tbe nomination, made brief speech that went straight to the heart of everybody in the convention hall, regard less ; of political complexion. He said that he was not hidebound in his political views, and that he had tbe deepett respect for the opio ions of political op. onepts. He paid a pretty tribute to the honesty and the individuality of the Ameri can voter, and declared that he honored him in his belief, whether that voter be republican or demo crat. He said be had not Bought the nomination, but that since it had been voluntarily bestowed be would use every honorable endeav or to win the proffered seat in con gress. . ; There is neither sham, nor palav er about Mr. Reamea. With him life is a reality, and bis purposes sincere. His peri-ooality at once compels belief in his integrity, sta bility, and individual worth. : His home is at Jacksonville, where he is widely known and universally popular. , Hie father was Thomas G. Reames, who was, a long time ago, candidate on the democratic ticket for secretary of state, and a Mason of high standing. The fam ily name is svnooymous with piO' neer life in Oregon. The Reams sef tied in Jackson county in 1853, af ter an ox team journey across the plains. There they have lived to win and eniov the respect of the wide friendships that came to them, The name has come to be the em bodiment of honor, sobriety and industry all. over Southern Ore gon. J.nere, A. Hi. Keames was born, grew to manhood and struck out in life for himself. After grad uating from tbe S'ate University, be studied law at Washington and Lee University in Virginia, from which he graduated in 189o. There, he won a gold medal as a debater, He returned to Oregon, and has since been engaged in the practice of his profession, in which be has won renoun as a brilliant advocate, It, is bis wide personal popularity. magnetic ability and unquestioned integrity, that promises, most for the candidacy of Mr. Reames. He has been but once a candidate for public office, but that was sufficient to stagger those who are candidates against him. In 1900, he was nam ed for district attorney. Tbe four counties comprise! in his district are Klamath, Jackson, Josephine and Lake, all at that time, republi can. "Reames, after a campaign of most brilliant character, ran 1,250 ahead of bis ticket, and was elected by an overwhelming majority He carried his home county with a ma jority of 615. "He carried every county in the district, except Lake, and lacked but 14 votes in carrying it. . The like has never been seen in Southern Oregon. A more - com plete confirmation of the inherent worth of a man cannot be secured. But little more than half the same percentage of gain in the present contest, will easily elect Mr. Reames to congress with many votes to spare. : The Albanyconvention was very anxious to nominate Mr. Reames. All the reports from Southern Or egon were to the effect that he is without scars. Every breeze from the south was laden with enco mium. Every time his name was mentioned, the convention stamped. When Travis of Lane, in a glowing speech formally nominated him,'it burst into enthusiastic cheers. When J. A. Jeffrey, with 32 follow ers behind him was defeated, and rose to move that the nomination be made unanimous, the delegates Bboou on weir . ieet. wuen some body propssed three ebelrnr for Reames, the convention hail rang with noisy testimonial to tbe man from Jackson, c The convention was in session less ' than three hours..
