Mayor Comstock and Police Judge

Board of Police Commissioners, met last
evening and after inquiring into the

SOLICITING VOTES.

The Candidate is Very Numerous and
Ubiquitous These Days.
This is the season that makes the heart
of the country tavern-keeper light with
joy, for the candidates for office are
abroad in the land, and it is poor day or
night that does not find the speakers of
the several parties in as many different
hamlets, inviting everybody to drink and
explaining to their hearers why they
should not vote for the other fellows.

CHERRY BLOSSOMS.
A Tree in This City In Bloom for tn
Second Time in One Year,

Second Time in One Year.
Louis Kinkeler, who resides near Tenth
and streets, brought to the RECoRD-
UNION office last evening two branches
from cherry-tree, growing in the yard
of neighbor, and which is now covered
with blossoms and young shoots.
These blossoms will, of course, soon be
nipped by the frost, but just now the tree
is a curiosity. The same tree bore a good
crop of cherries last spring.
What would our Denver friends think
if they could stick their heads out Of
their snow-drifts and gaze upon a cherry
tree in full leaf and covered with fragrant
blossoms?

People overlooked the importance of per-

istied with transient action, but now that
it is generally known that Syrup of Figs
will permanently cure habitual constipa-

other laxatives, which act for time, but
finally injure the system.

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands test of fifty
years among discriminating people like
the Americans, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. The value
of a medicine is best proved by its con-
tinued use from year to year by the same
persons and families, as well as by a
steady increasing sale. Few, if any,
medicines have met with such continued
success and popularity as has marked the
introduction and progress of BRAND
RETH's PILLS, which, after trial of over
fifty years, are conceded to be the safest
and most effective purgaGve and blood
purifier introduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit and that
BRANDRETH's PILLS actually perform all
that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those
who have used them the longest.
BRANDRETE's PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.

sweetly the maidens smiled, as with heads

From behind the huge bank OF ferns

enhancing strains of music, drifting out
over the hall and penetrating each little
nook wherein stray couples had hid them
selves for the moment from curious eyes.
The expanse of floor and galleries was
crowded with old aud young, all bent on
having good time. The scarlet uniforms
of the Infantry boys predominated, but
there was plentiful sprinkling of army
