[Oakland Enquirer of last evening.] Harold Clifton Sukeforth, aged 22 years, a student of the University. of @Galifornia, Berkeley, was found dead in bed at his rooming place, 1404 Henry street, Berkeley, this morning, at 8 o'clock by the landlady, Mrs. GC. A. Hager. The deceased had_ retired to bed last night in good spirits, after “Harry seemed in the best of spirits yesterday,” said Mrs. Hager this morning. “He did not leave the bouse all day, but stayed in his room and studied. Occasionally he would come out for a brief rest, and at one time romped about the room with my daughter Josie. Just before he went into his room for the night he was joking about his knife and had a little scuffle with Josie over it.and playfally took it away from her. Thén he wentinto bis room. I psked him if he did not want a coal oil stove brought in to warm the place up, but he said ‘no, the lamp willdothat.’ We all then retired. i “Yhis morning, at 7:30 as usual [rang the bell for Harry to get up, but he.did not answer. In about fifteen minutes I rangit again and still he did not appear. My daughter and I then knocked’ and called at the door but there was no answer. Josie then went out and climbed into the window and let me into the room and we found Harry dead in bed.” Immediately upon the finding of the body Deputy. Coroner Streightiff was notified and he took charge of the remains. From all indications young Sukeforth was taken away by heart disease. There are no indications of\ poisoning or other means of suicide. Sverything in the room was in an orderly condition,’ showing that he had gone to bed as usual. On the table were some books and papers covered with mathematical work and the oil of the lamp was three-fourths burned out showing he must have stayed up rather late. Everything was in perfect erder. The cause of death will be determined by aninquest, the time of which has not been set yet. Young Sukeforth was a member of the class of 1900 and a student in the college ofsocial sciences. Up to recently he has been first sergeant of Company H of the cadet corps. A card announcing his transfer was one of the papers on the table of his room. At college he was known as a very gentlemanly boy who had the respect of all. He was taking military work and had completed the prescribed gymnasium work last year. Professor Magee, physical instructor, stated this morning it was his belief that Suke‘forth showed no sigus of heart trouble at the time of his evamination two years ago. In appearance the deceased was sallow and without color. There was some talk that Overstudy may have been responsible for bis suddén taking off but it is believed that organic trouble was the primary cause of death. ‘The parents of the deceased, who live in Nevada City, were. notified by telephone this morning and are now on their way to Berkley to take charge of} her children is only surpassed by her the body. Harold was their only son and very popular at his home. “I am not so blind that I cannot see} spank him with a sharp stick.” and profit by the mistakes of others,” she told her dearest friend just after . her engagement was announced. “I}™@? have a wager a8. to which one will know how annoying it must be to a] ™&ITY her?

Grow of Pennsylvania, who first went to Congress in 1850, is a living proof that the American people do not ulways tire quickly of their public servante. He has just been re-elected as Congressman-at-large‘by the largest vote polled by any candidate ia his State, and this he has done four times in succession. Mr. Grow, who is now 75 years of age, was the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the Thirty-seventh Congress and is a fine specimen of the politician of the old school. The Philadelphia papers say that if the Republicans had nominated Grow for Governor he would have been’ élected by a vote practically unanimous, —_——+ -ee ’ THe San Joaquin Electric Company of Fresno has begun work on a neéw reservoir that will supply water fer the plant.

At the age of 59 a tumor formed on my spine, which Was Very Painful but did not rise or discharge.’ The doctor thought best to cut it out, but I objected. It finally broke and discharged a great deal. The doctors said they could do nothing for it. Then the tumor began to rise inwardly and discharge. I read much about cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla and thought I would try it. Before I had finished taking one bottle I was much relieved. I continued the use 6f Hood’s
