EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT NAB0B
III WHISKY is one of the best medicinal prepara-
tions known, and is highly recommended ~ the
Faculty for all cases of Nervousness, Weakness,
Debility, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, etc. Its popu-
larity throughout the Eastern States has been great,
and it comes to the Pacific coast indorsed by the
certificates of DR.. S. Dana Hayes State Assayer of
Massachusetts,, and DR.. H. C. Louderbaek, OF st.
Louis, Mo. These certificates are most direct in
their statements, averring that the NABOB
WHISKY is, without exception, the purest article
that can be used either incidentally or for Indiges-
ton and Nervous Affections, and can be used with
the utmost confidence The analysis shows that this
WHISKY is free from fiayoring oils, acids, metals,
or other deeterlous substances DR.. Hayes further
says that 1t is pure of superior quality and suitable
for dietetic and medicinal purposes Such recom-
endations are the strongest that be furnished,
and as there are thousands OF letters testying to
the merits OF tle WHISKY as family remedy and
tonic no further proof OF its excellence need be
given. Since the NAB0B siEDlCATED WHISKY
mas been introduced the Medical Faculty has q s.
covered properties which make it valuable as

THE SPREAD OFTHE MORMON
EVIL.
From the N. Y. Star.

From the N. Y. Star.
The dream. of Mormon power
which was INDUCED in by Brigham
Young seems not to have been re-
linquished by his successors. Bish-
op Henry Lunt, one of the most in
tluential of the Latter-Day Saints in
Utah, In a recent interview express
ed his opinions as to the future of
Mormonism. Although but fifty
years old, their church has acquired
an amount of wealth and an extent
Of territory that is simply marvellous.
Late years have witnessed so little
interference with their affairs that
they are encouraged with continued
material prosperity to hope for
great things in the future.
"We do not care" said Bishop
Lunt, "for the Territorial officials
sent out to govern us they are no.
bodies here, and we do not recog-
nize them. Neither do we fear any
interference by Congress. To-day
we hold the balance of political
power in Idaho; we rule in Utah alb
solutely, and in a very short time
will hold the balance of power in
Arizona and Wyoming. We have
bands of priests colonizing and pros
elytizing in Colorado, New Mexico,
Montana, Washington Territory,
Nevada and other States besides. In
the past six months we have sent
1000 of our people to settle in Ari-
zona. All these will help to build
us up as political power which
will in time compel the homage of
the Congressional demagogues. Our
vote is solid and will always remain
so. Then in some great crisis the
two present political parties will bid
for our support. Utah and the 9TH
er Territories, which we have peace
fully subjugated, will easily be ad-
mitted into the Union, and we will
thus hold the balance of power and
be able to dictate to the country"
A pleasing prospect, truly, and
one that speaks volumes for the
morality of our politics. But the
apostle OF the doctrines of Joseph
Smith does not stop here. His am
bition, and presumably that of his
party, takes even "a wider range
"In time," he says, "our principles
which are of sacred origin, will
spread throughout the United States
we possess the ability to turn the
political scale in any particular com
munity we desire; our people art
ever obedient, and what they arr
called to do by the Church they
promptly do. Our organization il
the completest one the world ha'
ever seen. Besides, we are now ant
shall always be in favor Of woman
suffrage; the women of Utah vote
and never desert the colors Of thei
Church."
| Now, while there is a tinge of wha
might be termed Mormon spread
eaglelsm in the remarks of Bisho]
Lunt, still, coming openly ant
unreservedly from a leader of
dangerous party, they must b
accepted with some degree of sobs
significance.

HOW SHIP LOAD OF NRAPoLITANs
ARE BEING PREPARED FOR cIviLI-
EATON.
Two hundred of the 750 Italian emil
grants who have been exposed to
small pox on the infectedAnchor Line
steamship Italia, were taken off the
ship yesterday and transferred to the
hospital on Hoffman Island, where
they were thoroughly washed and
cleansed. The Health Officers who
have examined them since their arriv-
al are unanimous in the opinion that
dlrtier or filthier lot of steerage pas
sengers have rarely IL ever arrived in
New York. Those who were without
change of clothing, and they were
many, were compelled to go to bed
and remain there until their garments
had been thoroughly disinfected. To-
day DR.. Smith and his deputy, DIR.
Mccartney, will remove 2O0 more of
the emigrants to Hoffman Island -
They are inspected daily fer symp-
toms of the small pox. The vessel
will be allowed to come up by Sunday
or Monday provided no small pox
symptoms appear among the crew
The two cases-the women and the
boy-are still at the small pox hospit-
al on Blackwelps Island. The woman
is not expected to live. The ship re-
mains anchored in the Narrows off

A BUSINESS MAN, ALL THE
TIME,

Some of the presents which the
President-elect receives are as quaint
and amusing as are some Of the appli-
cations for Office. Recently an honest
German, of Pennsylvania, who Is en-
gagged in the manufacture of rustic
chairs, arrived in Mentor, bringing
with him a specimen of his handiwork
for General Garfield's use. 1t is rus
tic chair made entirely, of hickory
withes, very curiously and ingeniously
wrought together. In the centre of
the back is q representation Of canal
boat, made of the same material as
the rest of the chair. In its way, it is
an elaborate and artistic piece of
work, and the maker was very proud
of it. When he arrived with this
chair at the railway station, he was
met by the ubiquitous interviewer,
who said, "You want an Office, of
course?" "Mein Gott, no!' replied the
chairmaker. 81 shust want to see

HOW SOME OF THE OIL TOWNS IN
PENNSYLVANIA ARE LIGHTED
AND HEATED.
Bradford, Pa, and neighboring
places, are lighted and heated by
natural gas. In 1875 an oil COM
pany was sinking a well on a high
hill west of Bradford. At the depth
of several hundred feet they struck
a vein of gas. No oil was found.
The force of the gas was such that
when it was ignited a pillar of fire
more than fifty feet high was form
ed. The roar of the gas could be
heard for . mile and more. This
burned for months. The heat was
such that the grass and foliage grew
in the depth of winter as luxuriantly
for hundreds Of feet around as it did
in the summer. Strawberries ripen-
ed near this we'll In February. The
we'll had been burning for long
time before the feasibility of utilizing
it was thought of. A belt of dry
territory, but yielding vast volumes
of gas, was subsequently found to
exist in the vicinity of the original
gas well. A company was formed
to carry the gas into the city. 1t is
now distributed all over the place
by pipes. A gas pipe, with jets at
tached, 10 run into parlor and
kitchen stoves. The supply Of gas
is controlled by a stopcock on the
pipe. When q fire is wanted a
lighted match is thrown into the
stove and the gas turned on. The
fire is started at once. The gas pos
sesses great heating qualities, and
apartments are warmed as quickly
and as well by it as by coal. Gas
for Illuminating purposes is conduct
ed into the houses the same as arti-
fetal gas is taken in. At first the
light was not brilliant and steady,
owing to impurities. Processes for
refining it were invented, and now
the natural illuminator is unurpass-
ed by the finest manufactured gas.
1t is 80 cheap that people seldom
turn out their lights. 1t burns day
and night in stores, hotels, private
ilOuoCo, anu oblCCbo' pay
by the month, instead of by the
thousand.
Gas wells have come to be more
valuable than oil wells, and the sud-
den and phenomenal appearance of
oil in some Of the principal wells in
the gas belt has created consterna-
ton among owners and consumers.
For years the gas has flowed from
the wells in unremitting volume.
That oil was not to be found there |
it was thought had been conclusively |
settled. A few days ago one of the |
wells ceased in its gas supply. 1t
was found to be half full of oil. Fif- |
teen barrels of excellent crude oil |
we're pumped out, and the gas flowed
again. One or two of the other gas
wells exhibited the same phi, nome-
1on. 1t is necessary to pump the
oil out daily before the gas will flow.
This sudden appearance of oil in
territory that was considered dry
has not yet been satisfactorily ex-
planned.
