All diseases of the respiratory organs treat
ed by the most improved medicated inhala-
tions, combined with proper constitutional
remedies for the liver, stomach, blood,
prsctice is attested by the fact that
out of $500 cases treated in Los An
geles during the past two years only
twelve have died. and those had treatment
only with view OF prolonging life.
In order to convince our Eastern afflicted
friends of the necessity and advantages OF
direct and positive treatment In order to aid
our wonderful climate in restoring them to
health, we give a few testimonials from
MRS. CHARLES STRONG, Syracuse, N.
Y, says: DR.. Williams cured me of catarrh
and consumption, of which l had suffered
for sixteen years, in six months.
REV. JOHN GILLESPIE, Omaha, Neb.,
says. had, as / supposed, used all kinds
of inhalations, but must confess that after
had used those prescribed by DR.. Williams
twenty-four hours was convinced that his
were different from any had ever used, and
Ireceived more benefit in one week from
those prescribed BY him than from all the
others put together. l believe in giving
honor TO whom honor is due, hence this tes-
timonial. Ny case was one Of tubercular
one sister in England from the same dis
ease, but wascured by DR.. w. IN five months
MRS. WIN. SIMMONS, St. Louis, NO.,
says: l had given up all hopes OF ever be-
ing cured of scrofuious catarrh and con-
sumption, but hearing so much Of DR.. Will
liams' Medicated Inhalations, after l ar
rlvedin Los Angeles concluded to make
one more trial, and. strange as 1t may ap-
pear. i was cured In four months, after suf-
fering for fourteen years.
WIN. TOWNSEND, Lansing, Mich, says;
After suffering with consumption for ten
years, and becoming so weak from repeated
hemorrhages that I could scarcely walk
across room, / Iresolved to try the climate
OF Southern California; but as soon as / be-
gun my journey began to fail. In fact, on
reaching Omaha / was obliged to rest for
five days before continuing my journey.
got here on Thursday. and on Friday was
advised by friends to apply to DIR. Williams
at once, which did. In one month gained
fifteen pounds in weight, and in six months
was able to return home well man.
MISS JENNIE STOUT, Toronto, Ontario,
Canada, says; For years was thinking OF
applying to DR.. Williams for medical treat
ment for catarrhal consumption, but my
family physician repeatedly told me that he
could cure me; but all at once he said he
try southern California; and on arriving
here, to my surprise, found DR.. Williams,
proprietor OF the Detroit Throat and Lung
institute, whom had thought of consulting
for years at once placed myself under
his care, and in three months l am cured,
and leave for home in few days as well as
ever.

santa Ana-Anahelm Exhiblt,

The cars bearing the exhibits foi
Santa Ana and Anaheim for the Chicago
fair came in here yesterday, and went
out later by the s. p, C. P. and U. P.
route. There were two oars for Santa
aua and one for Anaheim. All three
wef decorated with flags, printed pla-
cards, wreathes of evergreens, and fruits
on the branch. The effect was very
good, and as the train flies over the con.
linent these cars will widely advertise
the rich resources Of this opulent part Of
the valley. The following went on in
charge Of the exhibit: Dr. j. A. Crane
and wife. Mr.. Carey r. Smith and wife.

Mr.. Locke nichardson,s Recital.

The Congregational Church last night
was full to the doors to hear MIR. Locke
Richardson read his condensed "Merry
Wives of Windsor" The task under.
taken was very difHcult one. There
are the female voices of the Mesdames
Page and Ford, the shrill and piping
treble Of the aged Justice Shallow, the
rather non-descript voice Of Slender,
then the commonplace tones Of Page and
Ford, and last but the opposite Of least
the bluff, clustering notes Of Sir John
Falstaff. To jump from one of these to
the other through all the ringing
grooves of change" is far harder to do
well than is it to take any one role, as
the actor on the stage is required to do
and stick to that through thick and
thin.
Mr. Richardson certainly did this feat
thoroughly we'll. The several charac-
ters were brought out to life, The
broad humor of each and every scene
was well portrayed.
The appreciation of large, intalii-
gent and critical audience was shown in
a quite enthusiastic manner, which
must have been highly fiattering to the
artistic interpreter OF the immortal,
idylic comedy Of immortal William.
Tomorrow night Sheridan's "ScAn-
dal" will be given.

A Boid burglary.

Some time yesterday morning, before
daylight, the store of Matthews, Case 4
Co., 81 and 23 N. Spring street, was
burglarized by thieves, who entered
through the real estate office of ]. G.
Byram 4 Co., by breaking the glass door
on the corner of Franklin and Spring
street and then breaking through the
glass partition between the office and
the store. The thieves secured about
SIS worth Of cutlery and decamped as
they entered. The stone which was
used in breaking the glass was about the
size of goose egg. It seems strange
that the noise of breaking plate glass
was not heard by any person or that the
thieves were not discovered, as the loea.
tion of the robbery is on the corner Of
Spring street, where travel continues
day and night. 1t is quite likely that
the property will be the means Of the
detection of the thieves.

stock by certain public officers, took the
deposition Of Senator Vest at his resi-
dence this afternoon. The Senator
stated that he first heard Of the Pan
Electric Telephone Company through
printed circulars sent him through the
mails some time in April, 1884. The
circular gave the names Of the officials
of the company. and the purposes fol
which it was organized. He no

Of Tennessee was mentioned on their
circular as connected with the enter
prise. He called on Senator Harris and
by him was referred to Senator Garland.
who, it was represented, was well &C.
quainted with the status Of the com.
pany and it's relations to the Bell com.
pany. After obtaining Mr.. Garland Z
opinion, the Senator said he concluded
to take and did take shundred shares OF
Pan Electric stock, for which he gave
his check for one thousand dollars
on the Metropolitan National Bank
Of Washington which was paid on the
following day and for which he received
contracts showing that he was entitled
to one hundred shares of stock, which,
owing to the incomplete organization OF
the company 1t was not at that time
ready to issue" "What stock was is
sued to me" said the Senator, twas
about one year ago, that is ninety
shares OF it. Only ten shares were re-
tanned as an assessment to de-
fray the expenses Of the projected
legislation with the Bell Company.
AFTER this matter got into the papers, 7"
continued Senator Vest, "Mr. Stilson
Hutchins .of this city, offered to take
my stock off my hands, but as it might
look like retreat under fire consid-
cred it a mere speculation but was will
ling to take chances. / have received
dividend Of twelve or fifteen dollars
since / have owned the stock" Con-
tinuing, he said: II have had no con-
versation with Mr.. Casey Young, Secre-
tary Of the Pan Electric Company,
and have never met and do not
know Mr.. Rogers, who. it appears, was
prominent in the organization OF the
company. Mr.. Garland represented to
me that in his opinion the Bell patent
was illegally obtained and that Pan Elec-
trio stock might be worth some money.
At that time MIR. Cleveland had not been
nominated for President, and Of course
Mr.. Garland was not thought of in con.
nection with the Attorney -Generalship.

PECULIAR ROBBERY.
A Young Lady Shorn of Her
Cr0wntng Glory.

SAN Francisco, March l0.-The facts
have just been learned to-day of a bold
and peculiar robbery which took place
Monday last and which has been placed
in the hands Of detectives for investiga-
tion. The victim was Kate Ahler. a
fifteen year old daughter Of VIM. Ahler,
grocer, corner Sixth and Bryant streets.
The story related by Miss Ahler is that
while on an errand to her fathers store,
as she was passing house on Sixth
street, near Bryant street. she was
suddenly seized and pulled into door
way by woman who wore mask and
who, with the assistance of female
confederate, cut of her head of heavy
hair. The two women then ran away
and the young lady was too much
frightened to fellow them. No motive
except the desire to sell the hair thus
obtained is known for the deed. The
practice Of robbing young girls of their
hair is stated to be an entirely new
feature in this city, but very prevalent
practice in the east.
