has been under treatment of many of our best
known physicians without any visible effect,
but was relieved by the use of Swift's Spe-

cine a patient, faithful trial it will give them
the same relief, for my case was regarded al,
most hopeless by them. Of course, it would
not take the same time or quantity for a

1. The Grand Army of the Republic has
given to the world the highest proof Of its 10y
atty to the memory of the Comrades who sleep
in hallowed graves, in the establishment of the
solemn and beautiful services of Memorial
Day. On Saturday, May 30th, will occur the
annual ceremony of g~arlanding the graves of
our dead, and the Department Commander
calls upon the Posts to see to it, that the last
resting place of each Union Soldier, in their
respective localities, is fttingly decorated.
Let each little hillock be marked with the Ma
tional color and the green turf frightened and
perfumed with choicest flowers.
II. Wherever practicable, public exercises
commemorative of the heroism of the dead and
cause they so periodically served, should be
held at some central point. Let a ifraternal
invitation be extended to the loyal ladies of the
Women's Relief Corps, auxiliary to the Post,
and to the people of each community, to partic-
ipate in the ceremonies incident to the day.
Each, Post should, if possible, appear on par
ade with every Comrade in full uniform and in
line on Memorial Day.
III. In accordance with a time-honored Gus
tom, each Post in the Department will attend
Divine Service in a body, in full uniform, on
Sabbath, Oath proximo, to render praise and
thanksgiving unto the God of Nations for the
manifold blessings of the past, and the undis-
turbed enjoyment of the fruits of that peace
won by the Union arms. As we reverently en-
gage in the service of this hour, let us earnest
" invoke the Divine favor upon our Order in
its peculiar work, as manifested in the practi-
cal disqualification of the principles or Frater-
nity, Charity ma Loyalty.

with the duty of forwarding full reports of
exercises attending the Observance of Memoir

The Seventh Annual Field Meeting of the
National Archery Association will be held at
Eaton, o., July It'll, 9Th and 9th, 1885.
A large number of visiting Archers from all
parts of the United States will be present and
the meeting promises to be a grand success
and will undoubtedly give Eaton considerable
prominence in Archery circles.
Eaton must not fail to honor her guest,
therefore a cordial invitation of support by the
citizens to the resident archers is asked and
confidently relied upon.
archers, past, present and prospective, will be
held at DR.. F. NJ. Michael's office on north
Barron street, Thursday at 7.30 P. NJ, for the
purpose of arranging for the reorganization of
the Merrie Bowmen ofSaint Clair, at which
meeting plans will be made for the purpo e
of reorganizing this club, so that its member
ship may exceed in numbers and interest all
former efforts at Archery in Eaton.
A notice for a general meeting of all the
Archers, both ladies and gentlemen, will be
called (due notice of which will appear in the
county papers) next week and it is hoped that
a large attendance of many who were in times
past active participants in Archery will assist
in making the tournament a pleasant era in
the history of Eaton for the visitors, the citi-
zens and themselves.
Let every one be in earnest and the interest
will undoubtedly be fully awakened and sue
cess will crown our efforts.

We hope that congress will note
the exertions that Germany is max
ing to extend her trade. She is
stretching out her tentacles to seize
new territories on which to plant
colonies, she is picking able men to
fill her consulships and is going to
pay them handsome salaries. She
is protecting her manufactures
which is enabling them to improve
on their work, she is establishing
steam lines to distant foreign ports
she pays for having her mails car
ried; in short, the purpose of the
government. Of that country seems
to be to help the people and not to
see in what way the people can be
swindled in order to save a few dol
lars to the government. That, too,
is an empire, and the sovereign
does not hold himself to be the

A curious feature of the expul-

and Riverside is that nine out Of
ten of the residents Of both OF
these colonies are Eastern people
and that the majority Of these hail
from Boston, the head center Of
pro-Chincse sentiment in the East.
They have been on this coast not
more than ten years, in which time
they have become thoroughly ia
miliar with the tendencies of Chi
nese labor. That they declare
unanimously against it ought to be
very weighty argument with the
Eastern people who are beginning
to doubt the soundness Of their po-
sition on that question. Certainly

WILLIAM SHARON.

tor W lillian Sharon, mas been gwen
up by his physicians, and, perha APPS,
ere these lines are read will be
dead. Sharon became famous in
life as a purely Nevada product.
and it was his early successes in
this State that gave him the start
in his successful race for wealth.
He became identified with Ne
yada, and for six years was its rep
resentative in the United States
Senate. 1t would be idle to dwell
upon his record as a politician, he
had no status in that respect be-
yond what his official title gave
him, and still less should be said,
at this time, Of the methods by
which he acquired that title.
As a fnancier, his friends will
rest his claims from greatness,
sure Of finn foundation. He
possessed those rare qualities vouch-
safed to few, Of turning whatever
he touched into gold, and here his
skill, pluck aad, oftentimes, des-
perate fearlessness was astonishing.
He was ever ready to stake his
whole fortune on single hazard.
Up to the time Of the advent Of
the Bonanza firm on the Comstock,
his sovereignty was not disputed.
The discovery of the immense ore
bodies in the Con. Virginia and
California mines enabled his rivals
to crush him by the sheer force Of
wealth, and they drove him from
his old throne forever. Following
this he again attempted to carry
the State as Senator and suffered
o signal defeat. There can be no
doubt that these two defeats. en-
Uttered his nature, and he went
out of this State with little good
will for anybody. 1t was rumored
that he was bankrupt, and he then
was close upon ruin; but with his
usual success he went into new
speculations on a gigantic scale,
and regaining his feet became the
possessor of probably ten million
dollars and some say much more.
His life has been a constant
fight against tremendous odds, and
he was always a game fighter,
neither giving nor asking quarter,
ready to exchange blows as long as
breath lasted, and never dinching
from punishment. He was known
to the world as man Of sordid in
s.incts, but it is probable that not
one in a thousand would have
passed through the same cold and
cruel school and come out with
any more warm blood in his heart
than Sharon. He possessed many
sterling traits Of character which
his enemies never had an oppor-
tunity of seeing. Sweeping aside
al Of his weaknesses and follies
there remains of him those traits,
which all must acknowledge as
great. He materially aided i'll the
progress of the Pacific Coast, and
posterity will ever be indebted to
his large employment Of capital,
his lavish disbursements, and the
methods of business which always
kept large amounts Of money in
circulation. 1t was meyer his pol
icy to allow a dollar to rust in the
vaults when it could be placed at
work and his death may be fairly
estimated a great loss to San Fran
cisco, and also to the State, where
he still had large interests.
