A valuable Medical Treatise.

The edition for 1887 of the sterling Medi
cal Annual, known as IIostetter's Almanac,
is now ready, and may be obtained, free Of
cost, of druggists, and general country deal
er in all parts of the United States, Mexico.
and indeed in every civilized portion of the
Western Hemisphere This Almanac has
been issued regularly at the commencement
of every year for over one fifth Of a century.
1t combines, with the soundest practical ad
vice for the preservation and restoration OF
health, a large amount of interesting and
amusing light reading, and the calendar, as.
Economical calculations, chronological items
etc, are prepared with great care, and will
be found entirely accurate. The issue Of
Hostetter's Almanac for 1887, will probably
be the largest edition OF a medical work
ever published in any country. The propri
etors, Messrs. Hostetter & Co., Pittsburgh,
Pa, on receipt of two cent stamp, will for
ward copy by mail to any person who can.
not procure one in his neighborhood.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and the
taking off revenue stamps from Proprietary
Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited
the consumers, as we'll as relieving the bur
den of home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with GREEN'S august Eo7gey
and BoSchee'S German Syrup, as the reduc.
ton of thirty-six cents per dozen has been
added to increase the size of the bottles con.
taning these remedies, thereby giving one
fifth more medicine in the rs cent size. The
AHgast F?o70y for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant, and the German Syrab for Cough
and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the larg.
est sale of any medicines in the world. The
advantage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in civil
lied countries. Sample bottles for ten cents
remain the same sire.

The COmO-Eureka.

Progress in being made in this mine at
Como. Since the boiler has been replaced
after being repaired work has been going on
steadily. The water has been lowered in
the shaft to point about IS feet from the
bottom. A force OF IL men is employed in
the mine and on top, and over ten tons of
rock is being taken out daily. The ore is
being taken from below the II5 foot leve |,
and has to be hoisted 10 this level by wind
lass. The breast of ore is nine feet wide
and there are no signs of wall yet. Last
Thursday the mill at Palmyra was started
up for steady run on this ore. About 100
tons are now at the mill and great deal
more on the dump at the mine. This is the
same character of rock that was recently
worked at the Briggs, Taylor and Bossell
mills, and it is expected that is will work
about $50 per ton. About ten inches of
water is being pumped from the mine and
carried to the mill in the ditch that was re-
Gently completed, and this gives all the
water that is required. Seven men are en-
ployed in and about the mill, which makes
force Of 20 altogether employed by this
company

Last Saturday evening word reached Day
ton that an Indian had shot white man in
Smiths Valley. The dispatch was sent to
Sheriff Randall and it called upon him to
come Immediately and bring a conveyance
for three parties. Sunday morning the Sheriff
started out and Monday night he returned
with the prisoner who had been held by Mr..
Rogers until the Sheriffs arrival, and the
victim of the tragedy, Chinaman named
All Chez, who had previously been working
in the hills for Andy Walmsley. The Chi
naman had been shot in the shoulder with
an old musket, the shot glancing from the
shoulder and passing under the mans chin,
making very painful wound. The Indian
who is known as tough character, in his
examination stated that he and the China
man had started from Wellington to 60 to
Pine Grove on Wednesday last. They had a
bottle of whisky and drank it all up, becom-
ing drunk and quauelsome. In the scuffle
the Indians gun was discharged with the
above results, although the Chnaman says
that Mr. Indian shot at him point blank.
The evidence was not strong enough to sub.
stantiate this fact and the red man was
turned loose with a warning to never do the
likes again. Considerable excitement was
manifested here in regard to the matter un-
til it was known who was shot, then it was
the opinion of many that the Piute ought to
be hung for making such poor shot, if he
really did shoot at All Chez.
