mr.. Eagon Makes a Conclusive Denial of
Foul SIanders Against Him.
Nevada City Transcript, october 9th.

; Nevada City Transcript, October 18th
Hon. John a. Eagon, Republican candi-
date for Congress from this district, in his
speech at Marysville Wednesday evening
made emphatic and convincing denial of
! the charges preferred against him in this
city by ex-Judge Lindley He said that he
did not propose to be put upon the defen-
slve but would reply to the statement,
which, after charging him with having been
Democrat, says that on the receipt of the
news of the assassination of Lincoln he
y" threw up his hat and thanked God that
the bullet of the assassin had carried off
tyrant." He did not deny the charge Of
having been a Democrat but he had not
been for over twenty years. This charge
be said, came from a man named Lindley,
who was capable OF vilifying any one, and
had PROBABLY been paid to make the pres
ent statement. Continuing, Mr.. Eagon
made the following statement and refuta-
ton:
Nearly eighteen or twenty years ago 1
was nominated by the Republican party of
Amador county for the State Senate, aud
was opposed by j. T. Farley, with whom |
had some previous acquaintance The
county was very largely Democratic, and
there was much to contend with. Some
acts of Mr.. Farley's were open 10 criticism,
but everything was done to prevent me
from beating him. This man Brace, who
was at that time, and has been ever since, |
living dissolue life with negro woman, |
got man named Lightfoot to go to Ell |
Dorado county and return with the state |
ment which it is charged l made Not
withstanding this received the support |
of the Republicans and not reliable man |
could be found to substantiate the charge !
Jones, who is given as one of Lindley's |
references was at that time holding a Fed |
eral office, and was active in securing his |
dismissal. Horn, who is reported as awit- |
ness, supported me then and since. I have |
ran several times on the Republican ticket, |
and have held numerous offices within the |
gift OF the people, all of which Farley has |
taken an active interest trying to defeat me |
for. To this charge give the lie, and will |
make an affidavit that no such assertion |
ever escaped my lips. refer to such men |
as w. G. Jones, E. G. Freeman, r. c. |

they state that made such an utterance |

How an Indian Treats an Ipjury-Oi i'd

Goes not seek a cure in mineral poisons, but
binds on the simple leaf, administers the
herbal tea, and, with natures aid, comes
natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but COM
Portable Log Cabins and started the clear

the broad. fertile fields of the modern
farmer, found in roots and herbs that Law
close at hand natures potent remedies for
all their common ailments. 1t was only
in very serious cases they sent for old
saddle-bags with his physic, which
quite as often killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too far
away from nature, in every way, for its
own good. Our grandfathers and grand
mothers lived wholesomer, purer, better,
healthier, more natural lives than we do.
Their minds were not filled with noxious
isms, nor their bodies saturated with poi
sonous drugs.
Is it not time to make change, to re-
turn to the simple vegetable preparations OF
our grandmothers, which contained the
power and potency of nature as remedial
agents, and in all the ordinary ailments
were efficacious, at least hsrmless2

on the market number of these pure
