Revision.

You have doubtless read about the "revis-
ioE" in prices of our ladies' and children s
hosiery in our "ads." This is the greatest
stocking event these cities have ever seen,
considering the immensitv of our stock and
the extent of the cut. Think of our entire
spring and summer importations of ladies'
and children's hosiery being fully Is or 20
per cent under the prices of any iormer
season, and probably that much under the
prices that obtain elsewhere.

THE Atlas NOT IN 1T,
But Some of the Publishers Have Lost
Money, and Books VIII Advance.

But Some of the Publishers Have Lost
Money, and Books VIII Advance.
An agent of Porter & Coates, publishers
of the ALTA" line of books, said yesterday
that the statement that his house had lost
money by the publication of cheap books,
was mistake. The "Altas" had always
been held at or above 35 cents per copy, and
Porter & Coates had made money instead OF
losing on them. He was of the opinion that
the statement was true as far as it referred
to the cheaper line of goods put on the mar
ket by other publishers, but as his house
had never sold such books they had not beea
drawn into any loss.
The gentleman admitted that books would
advance in price. 1t had been found by
experience that books could not be manu-
factured and sold at the price they had been
selling for, and a number of publishers
were, according to general report, at present
endeavoring to combine on a general ad-
vance in price to regain the ground they
had lost in recent years.

tives of which had been imposed upon by
men of character like Wild's. 1t was,
therefore, but just that Lieutenant Steele be
given every opportunity to show the kind of
a character be had to deal with in Wild. The
Court, after brief executive session, over
ruled the objection Of the Judge Advocate.
The court then adjourned till tomorrow,
when Lieutenant Steele will take the wit
ness chair in his own defense.

CHOKING Catarrh.

Have you awakened from disturbed sleep
with all the horrible sensations of an assassin
clutching your throat and pressing the life
breath from your tightened chestf Have you
noticed the languor and debility that succeed
the effort to clear your throat and head of this
catarrhal matter? What a depressing influ-
ence it exerts upon the mind, clouding the
memory and tllling the head with pains and
strange noises! How difficult it is to rid the
nasal passages, throat and lungs Of this poison
GUS mucus all can testify who are afflicted with
catarrh. How difficult to protect the system
against its further progress toward the lungs,
liver and kidneys, all physicians will admit 1t
is a terrible disease, and cries out for reliet and
cure.
The remarkable curative powers, when all
other remedies utterly fail, of SANFoRD'S
RADICAL CURE. are attested by thousands who
gratefully recommend it to fellow-sufferers. No
statement is made regarding it that cannot be
substantiated by the most respectable and reli-
able references
Each packet contains one bottle of the RADI-
CAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT,
and an IMPROVED INHALER, with treatise anu
directions. and is sold by all druggists for 81.

sparrow Antics.

I see some queer antics among sparrows.
Looking out through the open door one
day l saw song sparrow on the concrete
walk sitting on her tail, which was turned
under her. Something seemed to be
wrong there. She was picking at the tail
feathers, and either the tail would not stay
under her or else she was too uncomfortable
TO sit still more than a moment at time.
The tail seemed to be continually getting
away from her. She went through these
gymnastics many times. Finally white
throated sparrow came on to the walk and
began initiating her, whereat she flew at
him and drove him away. At another
time | saw one on fence trying to scratch
her ear and keep her balance, but she did
not succeed in giving more than one hasty
scratch at time. have seen young
sparrows dancing near the river hedge. At
my approach they slid under the bushes
like rats.-Forest and Stream

A Reprieve for the Condemned.

Wretched men and women long con-
demned to suffer the tortures of dyspepsia,
are filed with new hope after few doses
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This bud
ding hope blossoms into the fruition of GER
tainty, if the Bitters is persisted in. It
brings reprieve to all dyspeptics who
seek its aid. Flatulence, heartburn, sink
ing at the pit of the stomach between
meals, the nervous tremors and insomnia
of which chronic indigestion is the parent,
disappear with their hateful progenitor.
Most beneficent of stomachicsl who can
wonder that in so many instances it
awakens grateful eloquence in those who,
benefited by it, speak voluntarily in its
behalf. 1t requires graphic pen to de-
scribe the torments of dyspepsia, bat in
many of the testimonials received by the
proprietor of the Biuers, theseare portrayed
with vivid truthfulness. Constipation, bill
iousness, muscular debility, malarial fevers
and rheumatism are relieved by it.

BARRUNDIA AS A MONSTER

If the story of Major Nave, fthe United
States Army, is half true, General Barrun-
dia met deserved but too humane death.
Major Nave SAYS he was a Nero and an
Apache "rolled into one" He was hated
and feared in Guatemala as no other man
ever had been.
According to this officer he surpassed in
cruelty any demon of tradition or magma
ton. He was not only mereiless to pris-
oners, but he delighted in horribly tor
turing them. Major Nave says that it was
told to him in Guatemala that when Bar
rundia took prisoner of some note, he
would order his men to tie the man to a tree.
Then he would direct that mule be at
tached to each arm by strong rope.
Everything being in readiness he would
sit down before his victim, light a Gig
arctic and say to him as he began to puff
the smoke through his nose: You see
that cigarette? Well, when l have
finished it shall direct my men to pull
off your arms" He would continue on
smoking, meanwhile observing with the
greatest pleasure the deadly palor that
came over his victims face, and the look
of terror as he beheld the demon before
him, calmly putting away the last moments
OF his wretched existence.
Another fashion he had of killing men
was to place them on deep slide or chute,
such as are seen at the flour mills,
bound hand and foot. The lower end was
made to rest against wall, and as the sub
jeot Of his vengeance slid like lightning
from top to bottom, he would strike with .
crash that left nothing but disfgured,
bleeding mass of writhing humanity. One
of his pleasantries, it is said also, used to
be to put the hands Of his enemies in the
crack OF heavy door and press them until
he heard the bones crush.
Now if this was the kind of soldier the
noted revolutionist was, he was given
death all too kindly, and humane people
will not at all regret his taking off. Such
human monsters deserve cruel deaths and
taste Of the tortures they have inflicted
npon helpless victims in their power.

FOLSOM AND VICINITY.
I From the Telegraph.l

There will be meeting on Wednesday
evening for the purpose OF perfecting the
organization of the Republican Club. At
the recent ratification meeting there were
sixty signatures to the list.
On Wednesday morning fire broke out
on the ranch of Mrs. Murry near Mormon
Island. The barn, which contained about
fifty tons of hay, was burned to the ground.
A lot of harness and farming implements
were also burned. There was no insur-
ance.
1t is stated that by reason of the superior
coloring properties of the Flame Tokay
grapes grown upon Orangevale soil. lead
ing firm of Sacramento has agreed to take

The rrne Irish Shamrock.

In Ireland only one shamrock is known,
saws the american Notes and Queries. II is
an indigenous species of clover which trails
along the ground among the grass in
meadows. The trefoil leaves are not more
than one-fourth the size of the smallest
clover | have seen in America, and are
pune green in color, without any of the
brown shading OF white and pink clovers.
The creeping stem is hard and fibrous, and
is difficult to dislodge from the earth On
ST. Patrick's Day the true shamrock has to
be searched out among the grass, for,
though comparatively plentiful at that
season, it grows close 10 the ground. Later
it bears a tiny 'whitey- brown" blossom.
The information that shamrakh is the
Arabic word for trefoil may be of service
to those interested in the origin of the
Irish race. The word could have been in
troduced by the Milesians, or it may fur
nish an argument in support Of the con-
tention that one Of the lost ten tribes of
Israel settled in Ireland, which has been
revived by the publication of recent
book.
