San Francisco firms have purchased

The improving reports of the prob

as regards the barley crop, and the

for this seeming attempt to corner

A Remarkable Cure of a Horse,

Col. James L. Fleming, prominent grocery
merchant member of the firm of Fleming l.
Lotion, Augusta, Ca, makes the following state.
ment OF the treatment of a valuable horse with
Swiit's Specific:
In the fall of 1888 had a valuable colt taken
with severe case of pinkeye, which resulted in
| the most fearful case of blood poisoning | have
ever seen. After eight or nine months Of doctor
ing with every remedy that could hear of de-
SPARED of cure. At this time the horse was
| unable to move, because of swollen limbs. His
| right hind leg was as large mans body, and
| had on 1t over forty running sores. He had also
| a large number of sores on his body ana other
| limbs. He was a most pitiable looking object
| and was advised to end mis- sufferings with the
shotgun. He was valuable animal ard did
not want to lose him. After rackng my brain in
| search Of another remedy more efficacious. l
thought OF Swift's Specific. / knew it was inval-
| liable to the human family as blood purifier,
| and why should it net be for the animal as well?
! did not hesitate, but sent last July to Atlanta
! for supply
began the treatment with o. of s. s. s and
OF. of water three times day. This eontin-
| ued fora week. The1 increased to o. of each
and continued for week. Then increased to
OF. and run il a week, when went back to
| o. again. The result was that at the end OF the
first week the horse had fair appetite, which he
had not had since his sickness. At the end Of
the second week even greater improvement was
apparent, for many of the sores were healing
nicely, and the horse manifested desire to move
about. At the end Of the third week he began to
show gain in flesh, and had full appetite. The
swelling had about disappeared. i used in all
about Is bottles Of Swift's Spec fc, and when /
quit its use the horse had only four small sores
LETT on him, and they healed up Immediately. In
August last all symptoms of the disease passed
away, and up to date no signs of the return OF
| the trouls have made their appearance, and the
horse has done a mules work on my farm
| regard it one of the most remarkable cnrea
| have ever known. Thus this great edicine has
proven boon to the animal as well as to the hu-
| man race JAS. L. FLEMING.

DR.. Russell, of Calumet, Michigan, writes
this to the New York Evening Post:
In connection with the numerous we'll
authenticated circumstances which tend to
prove that telepathy deserves Tho serious at.
tention of science, the following incident
may not be out of place.
Several winters ago, there lived on the To-
cation . woodman and his wife, persons
possessed OF perhaps rather more rhan the
average intelligence and education of the
mining classes. The sympathy between
them was such that each seemed TO thor
oughly understand the thoughts of the other
without the use OF words, which they
scarcely ever used except in the presence
OF others When in separate rooms either
could Immediately tell what the other had
written. At greater distances each was sub
ject to the moods of the other, but any
deeper understanding was reached at the ex-
pense Of great mental effort.
In January, ISL, the man, who was chop.
ping In the brush, severed an artery in his
leg and, there not being any assistance at
hand, ne Dled to death. 1t about the same
time that the wound must have been in
ficted, the woman rushed into q neighbor's
house, declaring that her husband Was dy-
ing; and. though ignorant of his wherea-
bouts, led . small party directly to the scene
OF the accident. The woman has been insane
ever since.
II anyone ID anxious to learn more OF this
remarkable case, shall be most happy to
answer their inquiries in detail. Yours
