In search of Eldoradc.

And ser his heart shadow

That looked like Eldorado.
And as his strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.

This spring of Eldorado?'

10 Hon. Judge Brodericb:
SrR:-The undersigned members
of the Grand Jury for the June term,
1854, most respectfully and earnestly
request your honor to appoint Hon.
j. B. Roseborough, Of Salt Lake City,
Utah, as our legal adviser to assist
and counsel us in our Investigations
of the financial affairs of the county
of Alturas.
We are fully satisfied from what
we already know and have good rea-
son to believe, that thorough and
complete examination and investlga-
ton of the most rigid character Of
the financial affairs of the county and
conduct and actions OF many of the
county officials since period COM
mencing January |, 1888, is demand
cd and warranted at this particular
time that justice only may be done,
and If there has been corruption and
extravaganza, violations of the reve-
nue. laws and misapplications of the
public moneys as we believe has been
the case, and should we find after a
most thorough and rigid examination
that such reports are true, the pres
ent County Attorney would undoubt-
edly be more or less responsible with
the County Commissioners, we think
we ought, in justice to ourselves and
the people of the county Of Alturas,
have some one learned in the law
who is nonresident Of the county
and Territory, and who is both hon
est and capable.
We, therefore, request that your
honor appoint the Honorable }. B.
Roseburough, Of Salt Lake City, Utah
Territory. All of which is most res
pectfully submitted by
Your obedient servants,
The GRAND JURY.

A pITIFUL FATE /!
How a NIinister's Good Decd Landed
Him In an Insane Asylnm..The
story Of His Escape.

To The Editor Of the Milsoaukee Sentinel:
SIR II have read a good many sto-
ries of late concerning the confinement
of sane persons in lunatic asylums, and
! am hereby prompted to relate bit of
personal experience.
In the year 1855, while was serving
the Methodist Episcopal church in
New England town. neighbours house
took fire. In common with others, !
stood on the edge of the roof, passing
buckets of water, exposed to intense
heat on one side and freezing winds on
the other. / took fearful cold. For
twenty-five years It worked havoc in
my physical and mental systems. New
ertheless, 1 continued in my ministerial
duties. l preached many sermon
when suffering intense agony. At GER
tain periods, however, l would be COM
paratively well. and then again, my
head would get heavy, my breathing
labored, my appetite tickle. l would
lose interest in life; feel sleepy at mid
day, and wakeful at midnight My
heart occasionally gave me great con-
Germ. Not knowing to the contrary, l
attributed this i'll feeling to malaria.
But eventually mental strength faded
away, and was utterly Frustrated. l
was cauterized, cupped, blistered, and
treated by many physicians in many
different ways.
My case was puzzle as much to my
physicians as to myself. For one of
them at first prescribed for delirium
tremens, and yet never had tasted in
toxicating liquors. Another said l had
brain disease, another spinal difficulty,
another nervous prostration, heart dis
ease, etc.
My mind eventually gave away, and
in 1882 was confined in the Brattle-
boro, VT, Insane Asylum for six months
When knew where was, demanded
instant release. 1 then made visit to
Oceanic, N. j., but had reckoned too
much on my strength. Iagain lost my
reason for considerable period.
That was in desperate condition
is evident. My blood had become in
fected with virus. which inflamed my
brain occasionally and doomed me to
an early death; for no physician gave
me any hope of cure. / finally found
out what my real disorder was, and I'M
dertook my own treatment. In few
months l was restored to such state
of health as l never expected to enjoy.
That was over three years ago, and my
physical and mental health have re-
manned intact to this day.
Last March I came west, and en-
gagged in garden farming. In all that
time have not lost a days work; have
apparently enjoyed the most vigorous
health and expect to live the full term
of life. The remedy used was war
ner's safe cure, and if should live a
thousand years 1 should never tire of
telling its praises.
You will confess with me, Mr.. Edi-
tor, that such a change is remarkable.
And you will, also, I am sure, agree
with me, when say that whatever Gre
ated such mental and physical re-
storatlon is deserving the hi CHEST praise.
Very truly yours,
REV. E. D. HOPKINS.
