Why Ayers Cherry PectoraI is so Perfect Medicine.

Because 1t is not only the most effective
medicine for the uses to which IL Is
designed, but, owing to the enormous
quantities in which II Is made, Is sold ut
so low q price that IL is placed within
the reach Of every household.
Because II Is an active curative agent,
that must be taken by drops, as pre-

A Doctors Diploma Before a Jury

The late Alexander H. Stephens
used to tell with great gusto the fol-
lowing story, in which he and Rob
ert ToOmts figured:
A doctor named Royst0n had sued
Peter Bennett for his bill, long over
due, for attending the wife of the lat
ter. Alexander H. Stephens was on
the Bennett side, and Robert Toombs
then United States Senator, was for
the doctor. The doctor proved the
number of his visits, their value ac-
cording to local custom, and his own
authority to do medical practice.
Mr.. Stephens told his client that
the doctor had made out his case:
and there was nothing wherewith to
rebut or offset the claim. and the on
ly thing left was to pay it.
"No," said Peter. II hired you to
speak in my case, now speak,"
Mr.. Stephens told him there was
nothing to say; he had looked on to
see that it was made out, and it
wa. Peter was obstinate, and at
last Mr.. Stephens told N!r. Peter to
make speech himself, if he thought
one could be made.
Il will" said Peter. "if Bobby
Toombs won't be too hard on me-"
Senator Toombs promised he would
not aud Peter began.

Tho Hlll-SharOn Suit.

San FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.-The
charge OF adultery against Senator
Sharon, preferred by Miss Aggie Hill,
claiming 10 be his wife, came up for
hearing before Judge Lawter this
morning. An immense crowd had
assembled at the doors of the Police
Court and long before the proceed
ings began the room was crowded to
its utmost capacity. Senator Sharon,
accompanied by his counsel, General
Barnes, was present. w. M. Neil
son. complaining witness, on behalf
of Miss Hill, WAS assisted by G. w.
Tyler. Miss Hill was not present.
The examination occupied the eE-
tire morning. Prior to the consider
alton of the case at issue, Nelson
made statement that his witnesses
had been intimidated; that the police
authorities had failed to serve SUBJ
L9nes, and that consequently he was
unable TO produce them. General
Barnes objected to such assertions,
saying it would be sufficient for Neil
sou to cite the instances referred to
and to enter complaints, and the law
would know how to deal with them.
tNl Ol luC NOulG ANCl1SOu
was allowed to continue his state
ments, which were partly of his own
knowledge and partly from infOrma-
tiOn. He then proceeded to say he
had been offe; ei money to stay the
proceedings, and that when he re-
fused he WAS intlmiGated, and that
Miss Dietz, with whom the alleged
adultery took place, could not be
found, and that the father of Miss
Bracket, the confidential companion
of Miss Hill, had suddenly acquired
wealth. The witnesses called by the
defense denied Nelson's statements,
after which the case was
called, charging Sharon with felony.
The prosecuting attorney immediate
ly arose and said it was impossible
to continue the prosecution as the
statute governing the case had been
repealed and no longer existed.
Barnes agreed to set aside all techni-
calities and allow the case to 20 on IS
he wanted an opportunity of obliging
the prosecution TO produce the al
legged marriage contract under which
the complaint has been sworn out.
The document was not product d nor
was the existence of it admitted.
Barnes strongly condemned the
whole business as avillianous scheme
the contract as fraud, lie and for
gerry from top to bottom and the
complaint as an outrage on public
justice, chiefly so on defendant who
was dragged into court On a sworn
charge OF felony and when the case
was called the prosecution abandoned
it. Tyler said he was not aware when
the complaint was made out that
the statute had been repealed. The
judge said it was so aud ordered the
case dismissed. The fact that they
were unable or unwilling to produce
the alleged marriage contract seemsto
confirm in the public mind the origi-
nal suspicion that the matter was
started TO extort money from Sharon.

GINGS.
Not Very Flatterlng Reports
Given by Returning Stam-

Tie .MssOuyi0n of the 10Th contains
the following, as gathered from re-
turning miners:
Late arrivals from the gold fields
in the Cnur d'Alene mountai rs make
things appear somewhat different
from the first reports. John Shopp
and Thomas McManus came back
from that country on Tuesday, after
an absence of sixteen days. II ey
were in the camp four days and
think the prospects will not justify
any great excitement; that there will
be paying diggings, but that many
old miners have seen discoveries that
looked fully as well and turned out
poorly. They report some 22O o: $50
people IN the camp. Most of the
claims of the claims of twenty acres
each have been taken by Palouse
farmers and very few miners have
secured ground, The ground on
Beaver creek aid ether streams
in the vicinity Of Pritchard creek
has been taken up, Oh suspicion
that il may contain precious
metal in large quantities,
but the work OF development will be
very slow this winter, and payiug re-
turns may not be expected before
next July. Asyet but four claims
have paid anything and none OF them
at present making more than wages.
One party sold part of claim, five
acres, for $1,000. "The Widows
claim, 'nalned for a relative Of Pritch-
ards in Illinois, was Jumped by a
miner called "Alaska" aud five 9TH
ers, who are said to be making wages.
The neighborhood has every indica-
tion of being good quartz region,
and couple of lodges have already
been opened ON Beaver creek, six
miles this side of Pritchari creek.
Work has already commenced in the
construction of log cabins in the
new camp, but it Is pretty sure that
no great amount of wealth will be
taken out until next summer"

Death Of the Yellow Fever
Patient.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2O.-Chris-

Granada from Panama, died this
morning. The bo1y will be buried

the fatal case of yellow fever brIught
from Mazatlan in the steamer New
bern. All the passengers have been
transferred to the old steamer China
now used as a sort Of quarantine
hospital. The mails, cargo and
everything else aboard the steamer
have been funigated before being
brought ashore.
w. w. FELTON,, a resident of Mazat-
Ian, now staying in this city announ-
ces the receipt of letters from his

fully 500 had died from it in that
