Under the laws OF California all
certificates of mining stock are taxed
on the first Monday in March. The
tax is proportional to the market
value OF the stock. and the present
depressed condition of Comstock
securities is said to be due in part TO
this tax. which will soon be levied.
The assessment does not apply to
stockholders residing i'm this State. and

Digging for the snoyslide Victims

The body OF Antoine Cretas, n OF
the Canadian wood choppers buried
in an avalanche in the mountains
west OF Ophir, was recovered Friday.
A force of 40 or so men was yesterday
at work in the snow deposited by the
slide, and the chances are that the
other body-that OF Moses Guindo--
will yet be recovered. The Canadian
friends of the lost men have all along
refused TO rest content until the bodies
should be brought to light by the
melting away of the snow in the
Spring. They feared that the bodies
might first be discovered by foxes,
coyotes or other wild animals, and the
faces gnawed and dlsfigured.-[En

Blaine's Coming Letter.

A gentleman who has just returned
from Maine says that Mr.. Blaine's letter of
acceptance. which has not been completed,
but has been blocked out, will be one of the
most interesting state papers in the history
of American politics. It will outline the
policy of Mr.. Blaine's administration, and
It will set forth, in clear and mastery
way, his views as to commercial and foreign
policy, and will commend the candidate to
the business interests, to all who have the
good OF the country st heart, and to every
man who is proud of the American name.
ssNo one, - said this gentleman, CATER
reading the letter of acceptance, will feel
that Mr.. Blaine need be given the advice of
the British foreign Office to one of its prin-
cipal ministers-'Put little more starch IN
YOUR shirt-collar. 1t will be a letter
which will be in the fullest and broadest
sense American.
Gen. Logan g letter will probably be much
briefer, and it possibly may be confined to
the limits Of merely formal acceptance. 1t
is possible, however, that Gen. Logan may
decide to also treat Of some Of the main
questions of the day.

are reported 20 be infected, having thereon
ia animals, horses and mules. or

killed. Ofthe forty five ordered destroyed,
twelve were in Marion county, sixteen in
Ottawa county, two in Montgomery, two in
Neosho, three in Shawnee, six in Jackson,
two In Reno, two in Rice and thirteen in
Dickinson. Such measures Of quarantine
and disinfection of premises have been
adopted as were believed necessary to pre-
vent further spread ofthe diseases. None
of the cases Of cattle diseases reported were
of contagious nature. One case of dis
ease in pigs is supposed to have been per-
haps hog cholera, but opportunity for in
vestigation has not yet offered itself.

from the effects of the disease. One be-
lopged to farmer named Grabenstein, liv-
ing south of Emporia, and six belonged to
Mr.. Patch, in the same neighborhood.

en- by mad dogs, and two Of the diseased
dogs have since been killed. Near Council

CONCERNING CHOLERA.
What the U. s. Consul at Marseilles Has to
Report.

Secretary Frelinghuysen has received
the following telegram from f. A. Mason,
United States consul at Marseilles, with re-
gard to the recent outbreak of cholera at
Toulon:
MARsEILLEs, June 25.-State Depart
ment, Washington: The cholera at Toulon
was kept secret until yesterday. On the
22d thirteen, on the 23d five, and yesterday
twelve. The cases are of a mild character.
There has teen only one death at the navy
hospital. The deaths are equally divided
between the civilians and military, and are
chiefly among the aged or young. The
question whether it is Asiatic or sporadic is
still undecided, but the former is probable.
There are hopes of checking the epidemic
by sanitary precautions. The condition of
Marseilles is excellent and the death rate is
below the average.

even if you have chronic nasal catarrh
in its worst stages, far although this

been offered by the proprietors of DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy, for any case of
catarrh they cannot cure, yet notwith-
standing that thousands use the Rem
edy they are seldom called upon to pay
the reward, and when they have been
so called upon they have universally
found that the failure to cure was
wholly due to some overlooked compli-

slight modification of the treatment.
Therefore, if this should meet the eye
of anybody who has made faithful trial
of this great and world-famed Remedy
without receiving perfect and pernaG-
