The New Banking Room.

The Farmers and Merchants Bank has
removed from the well known head
quarters on the west side Of Main street,
to the elegant banking rooms in the
Hellman building, on the corner of Main
and Commercial streets, where there
will be more room and better accom-
modations for transacting the enormous
business of this excellent institution,
which stands as one of the strongest
banks on the Pacific coast. Mr.. /. w.
Hellman, the President, has directed the
preparation of this beautiful banking
house and has made it beautiful and
complete in all its appointments. The
decorations and adorments have been
well conceived. The coloring has been
well chosen, and artistically applied, SO
that every tint and blending of tints
have significance and power. The
great safes are models of strength and
convenience, and fitted for the use of a
great banking institution. The Direc-
tors parlor is in the rear, with an
entrance on Commercial street, and from
the banking room, which also has an
entrance on Main and another on Com
mercial street.
The rooms are well lighted and models
of beauty and convenience, and an or
nament to the city. Los Angeles may
well be proud Of this model banking
house, with its beautiful adornments, its
able management and its abundant re-
sources for all requirements. 1t is a
type of the progress and prosperity of
the country, refreshing and unmistakable.

Wonderful Cure of Paralysis.

Twenty years ago my wife had a
stroke of paralysis which left her Grip
pie ever since. After trying various
doctors without any benefit, was in
ducsd to put her under the electro-mag-
netic treatment Of DR.. E. Robbins, ll9
South Main street, Los Angeles, and as
result in less than three months
treatment l consider her cured. The
numb and prickly sensation so common
to paralysis has left. the sense of feeling
has returned, and she can now raise
above her head seven-pound dumb-bell
with the palsied hand. l give this
unasked-for testimonial in justice to the
Doctor, and to encourage those similarly
afflicted to try the same remedy.

GETTING AT THE CORN.
The Difference Between the Official Fiq-
ures of the Harvest and Those
Made by Private individuals.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., December II
The stahstIcian OF the agricultural de-
partment explains the recent report on
the corn production of the year by stat
!ng that the estimates are based upon
the actual quantity grown, which for the
year 1888, according to the authorities
from which the department reports are
compiled, was about / $50 000, 600 bush
els. This estimate differs from estimates
made by private individuals, the
latter placing the production at
|, 300, 000,000 This apparent discrep-
ancy Is explained in measure by the
difference III basis of compilation. The
west RI crop reporters have ignored the
soft and uDmercbaDtabla corn, while the
department report Is an estimate of the
crop harvested. The average yield per
acre was % | bushels. SIuce the crop
was harvested the warm, damp weather
has seriously lnterfered with the proper
drying of the crop, and no doubt
detracted from the market valu-
If several mill on bushels. In
the opinion of the officer IN charge of
this branch of the bureau, the total
Yield of merchautable corn does not exceed
l 200, 600, 600 bushels, and 1t Is thought
by some of the agents Of the department
hat the figures may fall as low as 500,
700, 600 to l, 900, 100, 600. q don't sup
