MATURE TO THE REsCuE.-A
young man visits his sweetheart.
He soon perceives that is becoming
pale, feeble, lifeless, cross, fretfll
and unfit for anything. She can't
eat hearty meal, she can't sleep
souodly, she can't laugh heartily
she has become rather melancholy
and dull, she has lost her brilliant
wit and sparkling eye, she complains
of headache, tluttering of the heart,
etc. His visits soon eecome few and
far between. Poor girl. A married
gentleman's wife is pearly always
down with some complaint; she
grows and scolds and frets; she can't
walk up hill, nor ascend flight Of
steps; she is suffering every day:
she is thin, week and feeble, and
half of the time unable to attend to
her household duties. The husband
fails in his duty. Poor woman.
There is remedy for all cases sim.
ilar to the above, which assists ma
ture in toning and building up the
feeble and tagging energies, adds
lustre to the eye, brilliancy to the
intellect, gladdens the heart and re-
stores women TO strength, health
and happiness. The remedy is
known as English Female Bitters,
which is making wonderful cures.

WHERE to buy Dry Goods,
Clothing and Furnishing Goods:
at Big Hey mans store on Front
Street, under the Exchange Hotel.
When people want to buy goods
they go where they can buy them
cheapest. tits perfectly natural for
them to do this. They consult
their own interest first, and after
ward that of their friends. If your
own brother was in business, and he
charged you more than tie market
price for goods, you wouldn't trade
with him; and that is right. You
want to do business with a house
that keeps up with the world; where
the clerks are polite and attentive
know their business, and don't
lounge on the counter and look as if
they were sorry they were disturbed
when you come into buy a spool of
cotton Or a paper Of pins. You want
to do business with a house that
don't ask you high price, but
where they have low prices only for
any and every body, and all alike.
You want to do business with q
house where you will get goods the
uheapest--no more and no less
where you feel that you are getting
vour moneys worth. You want to
do all this--everybody docs. Then
you should buy your Dry Goods,
Clothing and Furnishing Goods at
Big" Heyman's, on Front Street.
1t is unqaestfonabIy one of the lead
ing places for low prices. We are
not rlone in making this statement;
thousand are willing to give their ex-
perience from actual dealing with
this house. We do most heartily
recommend "Big" Heyman's store
to tue patronage and confidence Of
the people generally. Something
else--don't forget to make the &C
quaiutauce Of Capt. Julius NJ. Ma
sits, the head man of the house.

Seriously Injured.

About 10 o'clock Monday a very
serious accident occurred, which is
due to that old and long standing
complaint, the absence of lights ON
North Temple street at the hour
in question Mr.. Geo. D. Schell was
going home. The night was very
dark, and it was absolutely impOsSi-
BILE to see the bridge across City
Creek until a person was on it. Mr..
Schell was just crossing the bridge,
when a man on horseback dashed up
from the opposite direction and
knocked Mr.. ScnelI backward. He
struck on the back of his head, and
the fall and preceding blow from
the horse rendered him insensible.
The man on horseback appreciated
the fact that he had injured some
one, and cried out to some persons he
met q distance down the street, tell
ing them that he had knocked a man
down on the bridge, but that his
mother was dying and he had to
rush for doctor. The parties
spoken to FASTENED to Mr.. Schell's
assistance, and carried him home
about block. The telephone was
used but no doctor could be secured
for long time. Notwithstanding
the boosted sacrificing nature of the
disciples of the noble profession,
several who were solicited to make
a visit to the insenSible man, re-
piled that they were indisposed and
could not do so, and let the
victim of the accident
suffer. Finally Drs. Young
and Fowler were secured and at
tended Mr.. Schell. He was very
badly bruised and the gravel had
cut the back of his head frightfully.
His lip also was very badly injured
and he was otherwise seriously
bruised. The doctors performed the
services and Mr.. Schell
consciousness. His friends
will be pleased to learn that his
injuries are not at all dangerous.

The GubernatOrial Oath.

Governor Murray has prepared a
new oath which is supposed to be
consistent with the Edmunds bill
one which he administers to all per-
sons, or, at least, to ali MOrmOns
who, under the law, are required to
get their commissions from him. It
is a regular daisy, and shows how
neat a thing our handsome governor
is capable of perpetrating. The
Edmunds bill provides, among other
things, that no person who lives or
cohabits with more than one
woman, etc, shall hold Office. But
our ingenious executive has in
serted a clause that, for neat
ness of design and artistic
execution, is about as successful q
thing rs he has Invented since he
has been in the governor trade. We
publish the oath and italiciZe the
clause referred to. 1t will be seen
what a considerate protection is
therein afforded for those who Yl0-
late the Edmunds bill, but who are
not MormOns. The only beauty az
the matter is that no one has been
able to find where the Governor
gets his authority to forgive those
who do cohabiE with more than one
woman, but who do not 10 so Gin

and interesting document
or oath:
DO solemnly swear (or sfi-m) that I
am not bigsmist or polygsDis'; that
| am not vioistnr of the laws Of the
United States prohibiting bigsmy OF
that do not live or cOhsbt
