a Family Medicine.

The Pam KMer is purely vegetable com.
pound; and while it is a most efficient remedy
for pain it is a perfectly safe medicine even in
the most unskilliul hands. For Summer Com.
plant, or any form of bowel disease in children
or adults, it is an almost certain cure. and has,
without DOUBT been more successful in curing the
various kinds of Ch)era, than anv other k1own
remedy or the most skilful physician. In India
Africa aud China, where this dreadful disease ia
more or less prevalent, the Pain Killer is con-.
sldered by the mattress, as well as European resi-
dents in those climates, a sure cure.
We have long known the high character of tbo
PAIN MILLER, and that it is used with grcat
success and satisfaction in our best families 1t is
the favorite medicine of our missinnorios in
heather lands, where they use it more Than oil
else together for the diseases that abound in
those warm climates. 1t should be kept in evorv
house, in READINGS for sudden attacks of sicknes:

THE CLOSING SCENE.

Elsewhere in our columns will be found
the last if not the most infamous act Of the
old Board Of Supervisors of this county.
We should like to regard this and similar
acts of this Board, that have preceded it. as
the result OF incompetsncy, but we cannot, for
our life, do it, nor can the public be induced
to look upon it in that light. The ResoIu-
ton is iu the hand writing Of Robert Robin,
son, Attorney for the Railroad company,
and lie tools on the Board, VIM. Duck and
J. d. Pratt, adopted it =; Power voting in the
negative, as any sensible and honest man
would have done. In our issue Of August
l4th, We told the public that this and simi.
lar rsscal,y was brewing, and now it is more
than consumated. These men, Duck and
Pratt are Republicans, we're both nominate e1
for re e'election by Republican Conventions,
and yet VS. feel confident that respectable
Republicans, everywhere in the County, re-
pudiate and loatbe them and their acts as
deeply 90 do Democrats. Two years ago
these same men Withdrew similar suit
pending against the Railroad Company for
taxes, sitter the county had been 10 heavy
expenses in Attorneys fees and costs, and
accepted less than balf the taxes due. AT
the same time they struck of balf the take.
tor 1867. Last year they refused to reduce
ho al IF h.
six thousand dollars mile, and ordered this
same suit commenced and now, after a
years delay, at heavy expense to tba county,
and when z decision will scbn be had in the
Supreme Court, and With almost certainty
Of its being in favor Of the county. they
pass this infamous resolution. On the day
after the September election these same men
struck the assessed value Of the road for the
year 1899, down from twelve to six thous-
and dollars per mile. Are these men the
sworn agents Of the people and tax payers OF
Placer county, the purchased tools Of mon,
led Incorporation, or are they idiots that
should be sent to ths insane asylum. This
latter condition they DO not show in their
private business transactions. The psople
of Placer must each for himself answer these
questions. As for us, our mind ia made up
on that euhject. Tho resolution uHsrS lie
on its face, in this: 1t purports to have
been passed by the Board, setting as Board
of Eqaolization, on tie 28M day of Septem.
Ter, 1869, when no such board was in law,
or in fact in existence in the county. The
Board of Equalization adjourned on the sec.
oOd dag Of September last, and from that
moment ceased to exist. The Resolution is
not worth the paper it is written upon, to
the Railroad Company or any one else, ex-
cept as possible cause Of delay in secur-
ing decision from the Supreme Court. 1t
is an utter and absolute nullity on its face,
and will be in its results, except so far rs ii
shows the depravity Of man, and may serve
to open the long sealed eyes of the tax pay
ers Of Placer.
