A CASE IN POINT,

In our forefathers' days, pimples were attribu
ted to diseased blood. But modern medicine ha
demonstrated that rich food does not create erup
tions by fouling the blood, but retards digestion
which makes the stomach torpid, and the circu
lation sluggish, and in turn causes an cnfeebled
action of the pores which congest or become PIN
ply. The modern theory therefore is not to treat
the blood, but the stomach and liver, and it is
under this new idea, that joys Vegetable sarsa.
parilla was conceived. 1t has wiped out the
blood disease" theory of pimples OF the old sar.
sapafillas. case in point 81 have had for years
spells OF indigestion and dyspepsia and tried
nearly everything. Finally I took one of the
leading sarsaparillas. 1t did not help me, but
caused pimples to break out on my face, which I
was told was caused by the potash it contained.
Hearing that joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla did not
contain mineral and might act differently, sent
forit. The pimples disappeared Immediately and
have now after months had no return of the old
spells. II Is a cure for indigestion and dyspepsia
and the attendant face eraptions."

All parts of the county report bountiful

year for 1850. Rim. and plenty OF snow
in the mountains, are two things essential
to tie prosperity CT this naturally dry Sec

Expectations that the o. P. railroad will
reach this side of the mountains next sum

would think SO by the scramble for town
sites.
Stealing chickens, turkeys and the like,
borrowing wood under cover CT darkness,
milking ether peoples cows in the gloam-

not according to law, but is simply local
custom, Now, one of these times some IN
noyator, desiring change, will give a
broken dose of snips shot to the nocturnal
prowler who thinks the above custom a
cute way Of living without labor.
The past week has been one of almost
continuous rainfall in some portion Of the
county. On the mountains snow fell to the

panied by wind storms which is usually the
case here, and having fallen gradually has
been generally and in great part absorbed
by the earth, which insures US bountiful
springs for the next season.

horses are getting along in good shape, aad
are usually pretty well prepared for any Or

encouraging condition of the range, the
outlook is favorable for an ordinarily light
winter, SO far as the welfare of our range
stock is concerned.

A Mystery Clearing Up.


There have teen many rumors on the
streets of Colfax this week concerning the
mysterious disappearance of Emil Frank,
the Colfax clothing dealer. Notwithstand-
ing the energetic efforts of Commoner re-
porters to run these rumors down to some
thing substantial, they have been futile in
the main. Sufficient has been learned,
however, to warrant the bslief that within
another week some startling revelations will
be made public, and the whole mystery
which has shrouded Franks disappearance
for the past five weeks be unraveled. The
First NATIONAL Rank of ColfaY has with
drawn its offer Of $1,000 for the appearance
Of the missing man, upon instructions from
the latter's relatives. That Frank has been
made the victim of some dastard's avari-
cious greed has been the opinion of the
ComEaoner from the first, and that the body
will turn up before many days to verify
this belief, has been more confidently as
sured from such rumors as have been traced
to degree CT truth this week. The scene
will be Spokane Falls. II we mistake not
the whole truth will come to light by next
week,

The scarcity Of Coal.


It docs seem as if the Union Pacific ought
to out of the coal business or else arrange
to supply the wants of its patrons. No coal
is to be obtained at Ontario or Huntington,
and the dealers claim the railway company
cannot supply them. A strike or some
other trouble in the mines is given as the
cause. Every winter about the time cold
weather sets in there is "a strike or some
other trouble in the mines.'' and the people
along the line have to suffer. 1t ought 10
be remedied but 10 one knows of any. All
the people can do is to put up with it.
Another grievance is that at Ontario the
price of coal is $40 per ton while at Hunting
ton, 40 miles west, and Caldwell, 30 miles
east. only 50 is charged. 1t seems as though
the oampahy wanted to "skin" this region
whenever it had any dealings with it.

HIS STORY.
sAbout IL o'clock at night was sitting
warming my feet in the saloon when Ed
and Newt Jones and several of their friends
entered and called me up to drink. went
up to the bar and Ed then tolC me had

asked, What dollal?' and at this both
brothers pulled off their coats and attacked
me, using their fists, beer mug and cigar
box. In the meantime another OF the
party named Meiner picked up chair |
and threatened to knock the first man down |
who interferred. 1 was holding to the bar for |
support, and was kicked loose by Ed Jones. |
I then moved across the room, pulled my |
gun and told my assailants to stand back.
They paid no attention to my warning, but
crowded on to me and made grab for my
gun, which exploded over their heads.

fired and Ed Jones fell to the floor.
Meiner then struck me with the chair,
knocking ME down. and the revolver was
removed from my fingers
IL arose. blinded by blows, and started
out at the rear of the saloon, followed,
spectators say, by Newt Jones who was
hammering me over the back of the head
with TIE pistol; also that he tried to shoot
me, but the pistol had become ungeared
during the struggle and would not explode.
He then returned TO Ed, saying that If his
brother was hurt he would kill me.

The fact OF the matter is the miners
OF Spring Valley and the vicinity were
able 10 get living wages until the Hon.
W. L. Scott, Of Erie, Pa, appeared upon
tho scene. Mr.. Scott has figured in
Democratic politics ever since he was ~
years old, his first service being as d page
In the Virginia Legislature. He has
been more or less prominent In Demo.
cratic affairs up to the present time,
serving as a delegate to Democratic Ma.

National Committee and in Congress.
During MI. Cleveland's administration
no was In Congress, and was the Presi.
dents closest confidential adviser. Il
will be remembered he came 10 Illinois
about a year ago and called a conference
OF the leading Democrats OF the State.
This meeting was considered a very i'm.
portant Affair, and Mr.. Scott informed
tho Illinois people Just what they should
do 10 make the State Democratic. II ia
pretty generally known that the Erie
Congressman shortly after his return
East sent q large amount OF Doodle TO
Illinois to DO distributed through the
various counties OF the State. Il was 40
