L. S, Day, of jacksonville, Santa
Cruz Co., California, writes Febru-
airy s, 1885: When my wife was
seventy-three years old she was
troubled with a very bad cough, and
it looked as if she would die with
consumption: She would not call
in doctor, but commenced taking
Brandreth's Pills. two and three
every night. In three weeks she
was completely cured, and her
health is very good, and am sure
the Pills have prolonged her life as
we'll as my own, for | have used
them forty years, and am now
eighty-four years old. They haye
been my only medicine"

Not "ComproEuise' Bill

Some Of the Nevada papers speak
of the Sherman bill as ''com pro-
mise" measure. 1t makes no such
appellation. 1t is simply a decoy
bill designed to delude eredulous
and weak kneed silver men into a
trap, 1t provides for the suspen-
sion Of silver coinage. which once
effected, the balance of the gold
bug scheme would be easily accom-
plished in the near future. 1t

a coin metal, and its future Danish

Mexican Orchestra

The Golden Era has this to say
Of the Mexican Orchestra.
The Mexican Orchestra has ap-
peared at the Alcazar with great
success. Their picturesque cos
tunes, harmonious and yet novel
instruments Of music, and fine mus
ical talent makes the entertainment
the most delightful of the kind,
The dancers add zest that is most
remarkable, Crying the national
dances in most approved style.
Taking as a whole, the coming Of
the Mexican Typical Orchestra
is an event that should not be
missed by lovers of good music or
those who revel in the picturesque
and romantic.

THE EteYG0TT BEGINS.
The Chinese Lovers THROW down
the fsavUtIaf

the "dtfDttct,
Ever since the Chinese agitation
began the Chinese lovers have been
studying various methods by which
the movement can be quietly
smothered. They have finally
adopted as an offensive weapon the
boycott, the use Of which they have
so stoutly deprecated. They have
charged the anti-Chinese Associa-
ton with being boycotters but We
defy any man in this city to show
that he has lost one cents worth of
business through this Association.
No boycott has ever been ordered
by the Executive Committee and all
suggestions leading in that direc-
ton have been promptly squelched.
The Chinese lovers have so far
been unable to lead the anti-Chi-
nese element into any act Of this
kind. Seeing that the anti-Chinese
would not begin hostilities they
have quietly begun it themselves
and now Geo. Hark, H, S. Mason,
NJ. Cohn and Walter Chedic are
under boycott. Go right ahead
gentlemen you have chosen boy
colt as the weapon with which this
issue is to be fought the anti-Chi-
nese Association accepts 1t.
