The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave any ill
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from Gallo
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements Of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. d. w. Baine, New
Berne, N. c., writes
"I suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. tried various REM
edies, but received no benefit until
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. 1 took them
regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored"

with Dyspepsia, writes
A friend induced me to try Ayers
Pills, and, after taking one box without
much benefit, L was disposed to quit
them; but he urged perseverance, and,
before had finished the second box,
began to experience relief. 1 continued
taking them, at intervals, until L had
used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say
that am now a well man, and grateful

the same fine support given during the re-

Miss Davenport in San Francisco and all
the original rich costumery and scenery

this city. Miss Davenport in Fedora and
" La Tosca' is more than a good actress !:

UNKNOWN BOY DROWNED.
Another Young Life Lost on tn,
River

River.
Yesterday morning Hayward Reed, q
son of Charles W. Reed, the well-known
| orchardist, borrowed q boat from Mrs. Z.
c. May, who lives on the Yolo bank of the
Sacramento river. just opposite the foot OF
X street, to come TO the city. He pulled
across to the foot of K street, and when he
was about to return two boys, whose names
are unknown, begged him to take them
across the river. He told them that Mr..
May had forbidden him to take anybody in
the boat with him, but they insisted. and
he took them in and rowed to the other
side. At the landing place on the other
side there is sand bar where the water is
very shallow, and the boys got out of the
boat and commenced playing around in
the water. The east side of the bar ends
very abruptly, and while the boys were
wadlng around they came to the edge and
both fell into the swift current of the river.
Young Reed went to the rescue with the
boat and succeeded in saving the Oldest
boy lad of 10 or IL years of age, but the
youngest. who did not appear to be over 8
years of age. sank and was seen no more.
He is described as fat, chubby little fell
low, with dark hair and skin. The res
cued hoy ran off without telling his name
or where he lived, so that it was impossible
to find out who they were.
In this connection, it may be well to
notify the parents in the city that the
river banks are lined every day with boys
and even girls who take all sorts of chances
of being drowned. Children can be seen
out in boats at almost any hour, and old
river men express surprise that more of
them are not lost. The parents of many
of the children probably do not know
where they spend their time. and will only
find it out when they learn that they have
been drowned

THE LITTLE PISTOL.
Another Woman Proposes to Right Her
Marital Wrongs.

About half-past 10 o'clock last night the
low-lived crowd that hang around the
Tivoli dance-house were startled by the
crack of pistol. The fash came from one
of the boxes, and a woman was seen TO re-
treat rapidly toward the rear of the gallery.
]. d. Smith, the proprietor of the dive,
David, his son, and one OF the female
beauties of the institution, were standing
behind the bar at the time. The bullet passed
through the sleeve of Dave Smiths shirt.
and buried itself deep in the counter
There was a scramble for the door, and so
many negroes, tramps, loafers and can
Gamers piled into the street that on pass
ing would have thought that a penitenti-
airy had been turned loose. Officer Franks,
who happened to be in the neighborhood
ar the time, entered the dive to investigate.
He found Mrs. J. d. Smith in the rear of
the building. She had no pistol, denied
having done the shooting, but said she
knew who did. She was taken to the sta
tion-house and locked up. The woman is
desperate, and says they can lock her up
or hang her she has no peace of life. She
claims that Smith deserted her for females
who play in dives, and it is thought the
shot was intended for the woman who was
standing by Smith at the time it was fired.
Smith says he took two pistols away FROM
her yesterday, and be is at loss to know
where she got the third.

A Horrible Example.

There is at the Station-house a young
woman, q years of age, who gives the
name of Nellie Richards, and who is one
of the most frightful examples of the
effects OF the opium habit yet brought to
the attention of the authorities. She came
to the city several weeks ago and stopped at
the house of Carrie Stein, on l. street, be-
tween Third and Fourth. She was so i'll
from the excessive use of morphine that
she was sent out to the County Hospital to
be treated. She escaped from that institu-
ton on Sunday and returned to Carrie
STEMS, whence she was taken to the City
Prison. Since that time her sufferings have
been something terrible. Both of her
arms are completely covered with spots
where morphia has been injected. Her
face, which has evidently been handsome,
is swollen and distorted until she could not
be recognized by her most intimate friend.
The poor victim says that she commenced
the use of morphine last September, and of
late has used eight ten and twelve injec-
tons IN day. Before that time she had
been smoking opium for the past five years.
Carrie Stein stated last evening at the Sta
tion-house, that she would take the young
woman home to her mother in San Fran
