Unaccountable Delay.

In the days when the stage was still the
prevailing mode Of travel in the West, a
traveller one day grew incensed at the
slow progress made by the vehicle in
which he was a passenger. Remon-
strating with the stage-driver, he said:
Whats the matter with the team this
trip? We're going as slow as a New
England prayer-meeting. L was over
this route ten years ago, and VIC went fast
enough then"
''NN e do seem to be gittiu' leetle less

up the front side OF his house.

"But Pm consumptive and can't 'holler'

Two boots an a look, reck'n,' y was
the laconic reply.
"Well, how lar is that?" queried the
stranger impatiently.
Better look twicet an no holler at all, -
was the answer. ''Gourdville amt woth

Always Safe and su-e.

1t is safe to take BRANDRETH's PILLS
at any time. but to get the best results
they should be taken on an empty stom-
ach before going to bed. For constipation
or dyspepsia one or two taken every night
will, in short time, perform an absolute
cure. 1t is well to take purgative at
least once ortwice a month as preventive
ofdisease. BRANDRETH's PILLS are en-
tirely vegetable, and the safest and most
effective purgative ever introduced to the
public. They have been used in this
country for over fifty years.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company hes re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehana County, for the
parpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, 80, 100, 100 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
neent of interest only for three years, st which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installmeats. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which TO
pay i've equal annual installments, with in
tereEt at the rate OF Z per cent. per annun.
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SIC per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other gradeE Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing cannot be
had IN California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement wiz prove to
homc-seskers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body OF land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tiement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

he could bid higher. McAuliffe then
said he would sign articles # agreement

\ Revolutionary Outbreak That May Prove
Very Serious Efforts to Overthrow the
Present administration.
LAREDO, Tex, Dec 22.-The storm is
coming, and when it breaks it will be
over the republic of Mexico. Dis.
patches are rushing to and fro from the
Me,'ican officials to the United States
officers on the frontier, and in the near
future there will be q genuine revolu.
ton in Mexico. Information was re.
ceived here that Gen Estrada, stationed
at. Mier, about seventy-ive miles down
the Rio Grande, was missing from his
post of duty, and it is thought he has
joined the revolutionists, who are
marching toward the interior of Mex
leo This is another indication that
the outlook is very serious for President
Diaz.
1t is impossible to gain any informa-
ton from those high in authority, as
everyone is under the strictest orders
not to make public the kilograms. but
this much is positively known, that
there was battle on the 18th, on Mex
lean soil, near Guerrero, about thirty
miles from the river, between the Mex
lean troops and revolutionists. with
victory for the latter There were five
soldiers killed in the sllirmish. the
revolutionists completely routing the
federal troops, and in body 400
strong continued on their march
toward the interior When last heard
from they were within few
hours march Of the town of Coralgo.
which is situated fifty miles from the
river, near the Candida mountains and
thirty miles from the Mexican National
railroad. This information is from an
officer whose name is, of course. a Sc
cret, and can be vouched for. He states
that the Mexican troops down the river
have been given orders to march into
the interior and that further trouble
will come from powerful influence
working for the overthrow of the pres.
ent administration in Mexico.
1t Is reported that there is no lacking
OF funds to carry out the movement.
There has been a grand coup made by
the revolutionists They made the raid
at San Ignacio on the 10th and did not
recross to this side, but went out into
Mexico. Meanwhile the troops were
ordered by both countries to the from
tier with the expectation of finding
them in the chapparal on the Texas
side Of the river, when in fact they were
gathering strength as they receded to-
wards the mountains in Mexico.

he had laid on a table, and turning to

the head with the handle and remarked:
That is the way l would kill my girl
if she went back on me-" Then point
ing the revolver at his chest, sid: This
is the way | would kill myself then. -
Just as he made the remark the revol-
yer was discharged aud the bullet en-
tered his body, passing through the
right lung. He lived about an hour
after the shooting. The fatal bullet
happened to be the only one in the
pistol, the remaining chambers being
empty. Young Warner was 20 years
