BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
A City Lady Who Required Proof Before
Believing.

There recently appeared in the San Francisco
Call, Chronicle, and Examiner, proposition
hitherto unheard of in similar business rela-
tions. 1t was nothing more nor less than an
advertisement in which the Edwin w. Joy
Company, in proof of the curative properties of
Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla, offered for limited
period to submit it to the terrific test of "no
cure no pay" Many accepted, and their letters
giving their experience are SO convincing as
to be almost beyond belief. Here is another,
written under date January e. 1S90:-
DEAR SIRs: accepted your offer to test the
merits of your vegetable remedy in sick head.
aches, and called for bottle and got it. had
been troubled for long time, and had tried
nearly everything, with little or no effect; but
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla acted almost like
magic, and the first bottle relieved me from one
of the worst cases of sick headache one ever
had. MRS. M. b. PRICE,
16 Prospect Place, San Francisco.
We will from time to time publish others of
these letters. 1t Is doubtful if any remedy was
ever before successfully submitted to such q
severe yet convincing ordeal.

FLAG RAISING.
The Exercises at the Eighth Street
School Yesterday.

There was a aag-raising at the Eighth
street school yesterday, which partook
of the nature of celebration. The
pupils, in company with those of other
schools where flags have already been
raised, contributed money to the flag
fund, and the national emblem that
now floats over the building is one of
the handsomest in the city. All of the
members of the board of education were
present at the ceremonies, together with
a number of the friends and parents OF
the pupils, who looked on with interest.
The exercises were begun with the sing
ing of America" and then very neat
presentation speech was made by
Robert Moore. Governor Gosper ac-
cepted the flag on behalf OF the city, and
made quite an inspiring speech. AS the
flag was raised the children sang the
"Star Spangled Banner" and the exer-
cises closed with "Tramp, Tramp,
Tramp, the Boys are Marching"
Interesting exercises were held in
each of the school-rooms, which were
visited by the school directors. The
rooms had been handsomely decorated
for the occasion. On the black boards
were to be found drawings of flags.
There was the flag of 1777, the colonies
flag, the pine tree flag, the rattlesnake
flag, and the flag of 1890 with its forty
two stars. In one room there was
drawing OF the flag of Fort Sumter, and
also of flag that went through the war.
in another room was the picture of the
flag on Fort McHenry, with bombs
bursting in the air. In fact in every
room and on all the boards, the decora-
tions were well drawn, and bore a his
torical interest. Miss Stoll, the prin-
cipal Of the school, assisted by her corps
OF well-trained teachers, welcomed the
guests to the school, and succeeded in
making their visit pleasant as we'll as
entertaining.

FROM DENVER TO Ell PAso

The Extension of the Denver and Rio Grand,
to Mexico Considered
The project for the extension of tba
Denver and Rio Grande road bv vav NJ
Albuquerque, Socorro and Las Cruces to
I'll Paso, is regarded with much favor in
New Mexico and Denver, and that such
| extension will be made may be regarded
as one of the probabilities of the future.
the Denver Republican referring edito-
rally to the matter, says:
The original plan of Gen. Palmer in
projecting the Denver and Rio Grunde
railway was to follow the valley OF the
Rlo Grande from Alamosa south to Ell
faso. His ann in this was to secure a
connection with railroad which ne had
projected from Ell Paso TO the City of
Me8lco along the route now occupied by
the Mexican Central. His plan was in
part defeated, because he failed to get a
concession from the Mexican government
Tor railway along that route. The con-
cession which lie secured led, ultimately,
TO the construction of the Mexican Ma
tional railway from Laredo south to the
City of Mexico
But, in so far as Denver's relation to
New Mexico aud Ell Paso is concerned,
the plan is as good now as il was when it
first took shape in General Palmer's
mind. The valley OF the Rio Grande pre-
SCENTS just as favorable a route for q
north md south Rocky Mountain railway
now as It did then. A railway could be
constructed down that valley at COM
paratively small cost. II would put
Denver into close communication with
some OF the best cities of New Mexico,
aud by system of branch lines q tribu-
tarv traffic could be established with a
large number of mining camps on either
side OF the valley.
When the lin down the Grand river to
Grand junction and the one which Mr.,
otto Mesrs is constructing along the |
western slope of the San Juan country |
shall have been completed, the Rio |
Grande system will cover nearly all OF |
the available territory for IT in this state. |
II the purpose be to still further extend |
1t the owners will have to look toward |
the south. There they will see the rich
and Inviting field of New Mexico waiting
for an extension of the system which
would be in a measure repetition of
their Colorado system.
Capitalists do not build railways be-
cause the people want them to do SO; but
sometimes the public discussion of
projects for the construction of roads
calls the attention of capitalists to the
feasibility of certain enterprises. Sug-
gestions made in this way are sometimes
acted upon, aud so the discussions are
not always idle"
