Dear Doctor: 1t is with great pleasure
that 1 pen you these few lines to let you
know that I am we'll of my described
stomach trouble. do not believe it will
return, but if it should will write to you
again for some more of your most excel
lent medicine. Dear sir, you surely are
saint on earth among us poor unfortunates
who have been duped and doped so long
by lot of quack doctors. I do not mean
myself, as have no confidence in them,
but l have seen so many on the Sound
who have never known any relief. So
many have been robbed and then turned
away not only with loss of health but
money. But how quickly their eyes were
opened when they took your medicines
and saw the miracles which they accom-
plished. Wishing you happy and pros
porous life, remain yours truly,
MARY VICKERs.

nounced it as "a scandalous attempt to
wreck the reputation OF representative
American mechanic" The Examiner
was right, and every steamboatman in
America knew it. A fair sample of
Roach's work was that wretched iron
coffeepot, the Alaskan, which foundered
near Coos bay in 1889. At that
time it was represented that there
was frightful gale of wind raging, that
sunk the steamer. 1t so happens that
some of the shipwrecked crew were
picked up and saved by the crew Of q
dredger, which was being towed from
San Francisco to the Columbia river.
Any man who has ever handled steam
boat knows that dredger or pile
driver is the very mesnest thing ever
handled at sea- and that II the Alaskan
had been properly built, the dredger
would have foundered first. We begin
to think the Examiner has some foun-
dation for its charge against the Carne-
gle works.

BRAVE BUT BOGUS BATTLING.


The Sham Fight at Camp Anacapa
Yesterday.
CAMP ANAcAPA, Ventura, CAL, Aug.
"a. "A good deal of powder was burned
in camp this afternoon, when sham
battle was fought, with Companies B
and F, as the defending force, and the
other four companies OF the regiment as
the attacking force. Companies F and
B remained in camp, having the gatling
gun stationed in the rear and the ho-
witzer stationed on the right near the
colors. The four companies forming the
attacking force left camp at l o'clock,
the defending force Immediately forming
on the parade ground. At this juncture
the other companies of the attacking
force appeared on the railroad track in
large numbers, which so intimidated
the defense that they drew bask, leav-
ing their cannon unprotected, except by
the squad with it, which was soon over
come. AS soon as the cannon was captured
it was turned around and used with
great effect against the fleeing enemy.
The rest OF the force had gotten into
camp and formed in the rear Of the can
non, while the two retreating compa-
nies succeeded in getting under cover
and strengthening their position by
bringing up the Gatling gun.
A general advance of the attacking
force was then ordered, but they were
unable to take the position of the de-
tense, by reason OF the vigorous firing of
the gatling gun, and were finally forced
to retreat,
The colonels horse was shot, and there
were: make-believe killed and wounded
on both sides. The wounded were cared
for by the field musicians, who were de-
tailed as litter bearers, and field hos
pital was established under the care of
the hospital steward. The battle was
