declines in the last forty -fiye minutes were
equal ia those shares to the losses for the rest

defense OF this. The Joint Commit

that the Lyon county ballots wero

Any one calling at this Office during
business hours can bet one dollar and
upwards on this proposition. Tho
members OF the Senate who voted
against sending for the proof i. O., tho

they were beaten the instant the proof

"Did you ever see the 'lomi-lomi?"
said an elderly bohemian to II San Fran
cisco Chronicle reporter.
"lf you haven't and want 10 witness
n novelty in the massage business just
come along with me-"

man was lying on n hard couch, COM

came to h palms of the hands he dug
his elbows into them and "kncadcd"

fcNcd the weary ligamcnts.

you how it has affected me? When !
lay down there, twenty minutes ago, /
was fatigucd to the verge of exhaustion.

couch ms readily as n twcnty-ycar.old
athlete. It's no d~clusion-it's a sober
