John N. Webb,
President Decentralization Company.
DEAR SIR have been using it on
the strongest point on myself from one
half to one and a quarter hours day
for a week, and I must confess I am
perfectly astonished at the result upon
my general system as well as local
trouble (dyspepsia).
| assure you | have never felt so
we'll in twenty years as do now. It
seems as if a new world had opened
upon me and youth had been restored
as if BY A GENT WITH HIS WAND. I
have cause to become an enthusiast,
which I am indeed, and now begin to
think you did not say enough in it's
praise.
am treating experimentally a num-
Der Of my Wall street patrons for brain
fatigue and general debility to give
them some idea what the instrument
can do in the hands Of one who under
stands it.
I am treating case of secondary
syphilitic eruption on the body and
face with the most prompt and salts
factory results. We can do very little
with medicine in this disease and I
look with establishment at the effect of
the Electropoise upon it.
| see great future here for the
Electropoise. Refer every one you
like to me.
For further information apply to
Electropoise Company, room Is, Watts

GENTLEMEN-In explanation to the
foregoing letter it is proper to state
that the Electropoise has been in use
by DR.. K. but five days, having been
erected in his Office on July Goth.
He said II used to be such ran
tankerous allopath that I would not
look at a homeopath across the
street. But I found that they could
effect cures that I could not with my
methods, SO 7 went to their college and
graduated. Now, if you will show me
a still better method, I will adopt it in
my practice and advocate it's use"
He has large practice among the
swell 400" and frequently has a spe-
cial train to carry him to see some
rich patient out of the city.
Yours truly, JOHN N. WEBB,
President.

Playing to DeadheadS,

I know towns in the Connecticut valley
where the majority Of the auditors are dead
heads. have played many towns in that re-
gion with a company which cost me 800 a
day, and had in the house at night 600 people.
of whom only $50 paid fifty cents apiece, the
price of admission. The remaining $50 were
deadheads. 1t must not be forgotten, how
ever, that these $50 would not have come at
all unless they had been furnished with passes.
and if the house had been empty my players
would have been so depressed that they would
have given bad performance and I could
not have played return date. The object
of return date is money. In other words,
the average countryman has SO little money
to spend that he will not risk cent on an
unknown attraction. If the entertainment
on its first appearance pleases and is talked
of, it can be ''bool1ed back" within three or
four weeks and play to 200 or 300, which is
good business for a lone night" stand The
manager does not have to put out so much
printing, and he can shut down altogether on
eadheads.-Robert Morris in New York

poisoned himself, and while dying wrote on
a sheet of paper his feelings and impressions
of coming dissolution.
A matchmaker in Paris, living in the Pass

similar circumstances. He was found dead

notes:

among some of our old friends and pa
irons that our Mr.. H. T. MILLER has retired from

A Three Days Hunt for Cotton Tails

Three Days Hunt for Cotton Tails.
1t was on a crisp and frosty morning in the
after part of November in the mining camp
OF Haunlan, Saguache county, Colo, which
bordered on the San Luis valley, that the
writer and his ''pard" bundled together their
equipments, which consisted of farm wagon
and team of broncos, one Winchester re
peater and an old single-barreled and a
le-barreled shot gun, four pounds of
powder, twenty-five pounds of shot and
camping outfit and provisions, and started
for a three days hunt. Our shooting COM
menced in the center of the valley. which
sEorted a small stream, for mile on each
side of which was thick growth of sage
brush, fairly alive with grouse, rabbits and
quail We had few shots at deer, also.
The first night we were attacked by wolves
that didn't let up until we shot three. We
returned home with seventy three cotton tails
seventy jack rabbits, thirty two grouse, seven
teen quail and many exciting experiences to
relate Some of the time we shot game while

Changing the Color of Birds,

Starting with the observed fact that cana
ries fed with cayenne pepper acquire ruddy
plumage, DIR. Sauermaun, of the Berlin Phys
biological society, has based upon it scientific
investigation of canaries, fowls, pigeons and
other birds. From these he obtained the fol-
lowing results: Feeding with pepper only
produces an effect when given to young birds
before they mott; the color of the feathers Of
older birds cannot be affected Moisture
facilitates the change of color to a ruddy hue,
which is again discharged under the influence
of sunlight and cold. A portion of the con-
stituents of cayenne pepper is quite inactive,
as for instance, piperin and several ex-
tractives; similarly the red coloring matter
alone of the pepper has no effect on the color
of the feathers.
It is rather the trioleiu, which occursin the
pepper in large quantities, together with the
characteristic pigment, which brings about
the change of color by holding the red pig
ment of the pepper in solution. Glycerine
may be used instead Of triolein to bring about
the same result. The same statement holds
good with regard to the feeding Of birds with
aniline colors. The red pigment Of the pep
per is also stored in the egg yolk as well as in
the feathers The first appearance Of the
pigment in the yolk may be Observed as
colored ring four days after the commence
ment of feeding with the pigment dissolved
in fat. After further two days feeding the
whole yolk is colored

Row ut Vinson.


The usually quiet village of Vinson wa:
the scene Of lively row Thursday night,
in which several bad young men from ''But
ter river" participated. A dance was In
progress, several young bloods in attend
ance being fortified with liquid courage
and ready for fight at the drop of a hat.
The row was started by Al Peterson and
'.Bab" Gulliford, who INDUCED in scrim-
mage over some TRIVIAL cause. Friends oi
both parties rushed into the affray, and
soon some five or six struggling forms were
mixed up in the melee. Some one, un-
known, drew knife and commenced slash
ing right and left
Mel Peterson's coat was almost cut from
his body, and the cheek of AL Peterson was
laid open from the ear to the nose, making
dangerous and CHASTITY wound. He was
conveyed as soon as possible to Pilot Rock,
and is there under the care of DIR. Shields.
After the cutting some OF the crowd, not
satisfied with the deviltry already accom-
plished, heaved huge rock through the
panel of door in Moody's hotel. shivering
it to splinters. A young lady who was
sleeping in the room barely escaped being
struck by the rock.
1t is evident from the above row that

young toughs, whose sole ambition Is to fill
up with bad whisky and be regarded as

Republican Primaries.

The primary election in this city last Sat-
urday ELECTED considerable attention, and
good work was done by both factions of the
party. The polls were opened at IL o'clock
and did not close until $50 in the afternoon.
Challenges were freely made regarding
qualifications as voters, and men were made
to promise to vote the straight Republican
ticket next June before their ballot was
taken. The name of each person was taken
as he deposited his ballot, and the same
precision used as at a general election.
What is known as the Moody ticket was
elected in each precinct. The following Is

Melancholy Accident.


A sad occurrence took place last Friday
afternoon by which David Davis, the
eleven year-old son of John Davis Of
Bigelow, lost his life. The little fellow,
in company with his younger brother,
about eight years old, started out horse
back to hunt after their fathers cattle.
While ON their way back to the house
they commenced racing and the horse
on which the elder boy was mounted
being old and in tie habit of stumbling,
suddenly fell. throwing the young rider
heavily to the ground. The other little
fellow was also thrown from his horse
about the same time, and both became
UNCONSCIOUS. The latter recovered con-
sciousness first and tried to resuscitate
his brother but failed. He then went TO
neighbor's house and procured help.
Little David was brought home but be
went into convulsions and remained IN
that condition for several hours. Death
came to his relief at 2o'clock A. NJ. DIR.
Edglpgton, who was in attendance, pro-
nouced the cause of death to he concus-
sion of the brain-the result OF the severe
shock. The parents of the child have
our deepest sympathy in their sad afiiic

The C0rwin's Return.


The revenue cutter C0rictn returned
Saturday from two weeks cruise about
the coast and through Puget Sound. The
trip was uneventual save Tor the arresting
of n runaway schooner. which was taken
into custody and left at Port Townsend.
TIE schooner is the PLtl.fnder, which was
caught last year poachiug In the Bthiing
sea.
The vessel at that time was put in
charge of seaman from the revenue cut
ter that captured her, with instructions to
go to Ounalaska. Instead the poachers
ignored the American sailor, and sailed
away for Victoria, B. c., where they put
Americas representative ashore. Since
then, until the CorUin ran across her, the
Pathfinder kept clear of government
vessels.
The disposition of the seized schooner
is now the subject of official correspond
ence between officials at Washington and
the Canadian authorities.

To Elliot spur.


Messrs. McAIpine, Adams, Langille and
Dallas, the gentlemen whom We mentioned
as going to Cloud Cap Inn last week, re-
turned last Friday. They had an exceed
inaly hard trip having had to haul all their
photograph outfit on hand sleds. It took
them two days to make the Elk beds, and
get one toboggan mile beyond that. Mon
day morning they started from the Elk
beds and reached the hotel that night the
distance being five miles and the time con-
sumed being fourteen hours. Tuesday
evening the clouds cleared away for a few
moments, and two views were secured.
Wednesday it stormed all day, but Thurs
day it was clear and all the views desired
we've obtained. Mr.. McAlpine took the
views in sections, each one fitting on tho
one before. Thursday afternoon the party
started for home. Mr.. McAlpine stopping
to get few viewssof points along the road.
and from Langille's place. Several views
were taken in this vicinity and some at
points down the railroad for that company.
Mr.. McAlpine is first-class artist, and we
doubt not his photographs will attract at
tention to that always interesting subject,

Mr.. VIM. Jefferd, who lives on Straw
berry creek brought some cougar scalps to
town Tuesday which he exchanged for coun-
ty script, and related to the Neaos man the
story of the capture of three of them. Dick
johnson had fight with them when they
killed his dog. and the following day Mr..
Jefferd, Ralph Fisk, Bart Hardman and
Mr.. johnson started out on snow shoes to
hunt the fierce wild beasts, and about noon
succeeded in killing one, and two more that
were seen made their escape. The boys
stopped under pine tree to eat their lunch
and were sitting there talking when down
jumped a large cougar, and investigation
revealed another one up the tree. War was
at once declared and both the ANIMALS were
shot and their scalps carried away as $40
remembrances of the battle. The tree was
of thick foliage, and the cougars had been
crouched within few feet of Fisk's snow
shoes which he had leaned against the
tree, and the guns of the hunters were also
leaning against that same tree, and it is
needless to say that the men felt relieved
to think they had not furnished q meal for
the bold colt and calf eaters.
