The NtIrer Marker.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE Bulletin
this evening publishes the following IN
its commercial column: 'EThese are the
main elements that indicate an improved
silver market for the remainder of the
year. 1t is known that the supply at the
mints will be exhausted about the 1st of
June, and thereafter the Secretary of the
Treasury must purchase at least 50 ,000,-
600, and perhaps 81 ,00O, 900 in fine silver
per month for an indefinite period.
''China will be in the market next month
for a loan of SIS, ,000, 900 in silver, and it is
presumed that portion of the 81 800, 900
which was sold by the Nevada Bank on
the 10th and 11th is in anticipation of that
loan. This large sale greatly reduces the
available supply here. The closing of
the Consolidated Virginia Mine, which
was effected about two weeks ago, and
which will probably remain closed fol
three months, will have an important
bearing on the market. We have it or
authority of John w. Mackey that Cali
fornfa and Consolidated Virginia mines
will not probably yield over 1O0, 900 ounce!
of fine silver per month for the remainder
of the year. In addition to the gold con
| tanned therein, it must also be borne ir
mind that Justice is now the only mint
on the Comstock lode that is producing
any bullion, aHo that the mine is no
| yielding 80 per sent, of the amount, it die
a year ago. Outside silver mines are ais
! producing less than formerly. At tn,
same time the California gold produc
promises to be larger than usual, owing
to excessive rains last winter. On tn
whole, apart from any results likely t.
grow out ofpo1itical complication of Eng
land and Russia, the silver-market |
in much better shape than it has been il
upward of two years"

The friends of sobriety, of good gov
srnment and the observance of the laws
Of our incorporated village, place a tick
ct before the people for Councilmen in
the persons Of Jacob Light, o. L Gun
ming and George Dahl, who are sound on
all the questions of good order, of public
and of economy in the ex-
penditure of the peoples money in all the
necessary public improvements of the
town. They are gentlemen who, in their
view of the case, are eminently worthy
of the vote of every voter who has the de-
sire to promote the welfare and the highest
interests morally and finaeially of our
town. In the choice of our municipal Of
feers, these are questions that should gov
ern our action. We are justly proud of
our town as a business point, and its gov
ernment should be of a character that
would stand the test of civil and moral
scrutiny. We want men in our Council
who viii give us sound, Wholesome ordi.
nanees, with a view to the elevation of oul
moral standard as a municipality. Thi,
is the kind of men we should use our best
energies to elect on Monday next and suel
we believe to be the men who have beer
placed before the people of the town By
the friends oflaw and order. Now we ap
peal to the good sense of the people to sa,
whether the objects that have dictated tn
nomination of the ticket are not noble
whether they are not just, and whethe
these principles should not be supporte
by all good citizens? If so, then is it nc
the duty of every voter who believes thu
to give the ticket presented his vote an
his vigorous influence? So do not sta
away and allow other influences to prs
dominate, and to defeat the principles an
objects of this ticket, which has no othe
aim than to promote the best laudabIe il
terests of our town and our people.

DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION.

This complaint is generally chronic,
and is one of the most obstinate of mall
aides. 1t produces as depressing effect
upon the mind as upon the body. Ifper-
mitted to continue long it will bring on a
general consumption of the system. Dys-
peptic persons sometimes imagine them
selves affected with consumption, organic
diseases of the heart, erc., on account of
palpitation of the heart or short, dry
cough. Indigestion is the cause of this.
One or more of the following symptoms
are experienced in Dyspepsia A dis
turbed, dreamy sleep; a feeling of un-
easiness in the stomach when it is empty !;
fullness or weight after eating; belehing
of wind; food rising in the mouth, or a
| bitter, sour, oily, offensive liquid; gnaw-
| ing or burning pain in the stomach; loss
of appetite; sick-headach giddiness; un-
certain vision; tinkling in the ears; pain
| between the shoulders; low spirits; ten
| dency to drowsiness; the tongue is fur
red; in the morning an unpleasant taste
fingers in the mouth; the bowels are oc-
casiona1ly constipated and the pulse is ir-
regular.
! IAcUPIA will break up the disease en-
tirelv and restore the functions to thei1
natural and healthy state.

The blood, since it contains the constit-
uents of all the substances of the bOdy,is
capable of suffering every change which

diseases that reveal themselves in any
other parts of the system. Many diseases,
when they are thought TO be cured, still
leave some spoiled substance in the sys-

blood will, in time, be extensively cor
rupted. the glandular system will become
diseased, and all varieties of eutaneous
