Railroad War.
CHICAGO, April 28th.-The war be-

and 1t Is said that one thousand car
loads are contracted for at twenty-one
cents, though railroad men claim that
the report is a speculative canard. At
any rate the Eastern trunk lines are

The Mower Contest.

Mr.. Seymour's reply to my banter
for friendly test of the merits of the
respective mowers we offer to the far
mers of Los Angeles county does not
quite satisfy me. I did not mean to
be understood as offering trial of our
machines for money, but simply to
test the merits of both mowers on the
same ground, side by side, in the pres
ence of fair and unbiased judges. If
my mower should prove to be not
equal to the Champion, then l should
learn wherein it is unequal and have
q chance to remedy it's defects, if any
exist, for the future sale and use of the
machine, for am fully determined to
offer to the farmers the best imple-
ments to be had and none other. / be-
lieve the Walter A. Wood improved,
iron frame, brass bearings mower to be
the best, for all its purposes, at pres
ent before the people of California-no
exceptions. AS to the trial of ma
chimes at Visalia l need both sides of
that story before l can verify it. Be
it as it may, if the Champion did ex-
eel the Wood Improved, iron frame,
brass bearings, patent thumb-latch at.
tachment and self-oiling pitman, at
Visalia or any other place, 1t is fair TO
presume it can do as much here in
Los Angeles county. And to prove
this l say let us try it, and see which
excels. I now ask Mr.. Seymour, or
any of the owners of the Champion or
any other mower-all are included -
to name the day, the time, the place
and the sufficient amount of induce
ment necessary to bring out mowers
for fair trial of their respective mer-
its in the field, said trial to be directed
by the umpires, but to be of the sever
est kind, if it takes one or ten days to
decide. 1 will suggest that the Cham
pion, the Buckeye and the w. A.
Wood improved subscribe an equal
amount, the total to be a premium,
and all to compete therefor, the win.
ner taking the stakes.

THESE Medicines, which are becoming so
popular in the Southern portion of this
State, are simply beating down all prejudice
and opposition as regards their efficacy here,
as they have been doing In San Francisco and
other places. BY their virtues, their irrefrag-

the most incredulous are at once shorn OF
their doubts. Those who have dreaded and

Rheumatism & Liver Complaint,

May hail with Joy the advent In their midst
of these wonderful medicines, which the Doc.
tor has labored for years to perfect, as spe-
cific for the above diseases.
You that are suffering at once cast aside
your prejudice, derived, and justly from re-
peated failures. We ask that your hopes may
revive, at least sufficiently to give this medi-
duty, and in justice to Dr. Clark and the suf-
fering thousands who may read this card we,
the undersigned residents of this county and
vicinity, MOST FORTUNATELY speak from ex-
perience, and we assert most emphatically
the efficacy of the above medicines Is irrefu-
table. Our friends, and even strangers, may
ponder over these remarks, but II the candid
truth from our lips robs them of their incre-
dulity sufficiently to place themselves, with
kindling hope, under the treatment OF DIR.
Clark, with his celebrated Family y Medicines,
we well know that some good will accrue from
our efforts, and most heartily say
