The smallest is the best
in pills, other things being equal.
But, with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
let's, nothing else is equal. They're
the best, not only because they're
the smallest, and the easiest to take
but because they do more good.
They cleanse and regulate the liver,
stomach and bowels in a way the
huge, old fashioned pill doesn't
dream of. Think of trying to regu-
late the system with the ordinary pill.
It's only good for .upsetting it.
These are mild and gentle-but
thorough and effective, no pain-no
gripping. One little pellet for a laxa-
tive three for a cathartic. The
best Liver Pill known. Sick Head

relieved and cured.
Put up in sealed vials-a perfect

lent, fresh and reliable.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-

Two of Them Take Possession of Lower

Police officer Talbot arrested two
tough" negroes early yesterday morn
ing, William Mcpherson and Louis Pen
nant.
Mcpherson is a prize-fighter, an ex-
convict and bad man generally. Sun
day night he and Pennant took possession
of lower L street, severely beat several
women, drubbed a man named Soto,
assaulted Captain Foster, the river pilot,
cleaned out dance hall and held up a
rancher who had just got into town on
horseback The rancher, however,
whipped out siX-shooter and caused the
belligerent negroes to quit before they
had done him any serious harm.
officer Talbot got on the scent, and ar
rested the men on Second street, between
J and X. Mcpherson broke away from
the officer and escaped through the alley.
Talbot locked Tenant up, and then
started out after Mcpherson again. He
soon located him, and once more placed
him under arrest. But Mcpherson was
in fighting mood. aud refused to 60 to
Jail. A hugging match between him and
the officer resulted. Talbot managed to
get one handculT on his prisoner. but
could not get the other one on. He had
finally to threaten to use his revolver IN
order to subdue his lighting prisoner.
Several charges of battery and disturb

TO TURN A RIVER.
The Feather Soon to Flow Through
the Big Tunnel.
Millions of Dollars Expected to be
Taken From Its Bcd-A Good
Thing for Oroville.

There viii be lively times about Oro-
vile soon, when Major Mclaughlin turns
the Feather River from it's channel into
the great fumes and tunnel that have
been prepared tor it. The river has now
fallen so low that it is thought this can be
done within couple Of weeks.
week ago two of the biggest share
holders III the English syndicate, j. f.
Kelley and o. Harvey, dropped i'll upon
him from ! ondon, and were escorted to
the WORKS near Oroville. They spent
some days in looking over the prepara-
tons that had been made for the great
event and in inspecting the engineering
works in which their capital had been
sunk. They were pleased. The enor-
NOUS flume into which the Feather River
will be diverted was found to have been
constructed IN the most substantial man
ner. and could only be Imperfect by
sudden freshet which would swell the
river beyond its usual summer volume.
But at this time OF the year such an oc-
cUrence is not to be feared
The Golden Gate and the Golden
Feather claims extend about 5000 feet
along the stream. The dirt lodged be-
meath the bed of gravel, which extends
down to depth of some eighteen feet, is
supposed to contain great quantities of
gold which has been washed down from
the hills in the course of ages. 1t is even
more than superstition, for when the
works were completed last year the river
was turned aside and prospect OF the
claims made.
The dirt that was recovered was rich in
! gold, and gave heart to the investors who
| had been induced to put their guineas
into the Majors brilliant project. 1t was
at that time too late in the season to think
! Of beginning operations on large scale,
! for the autumnal rains were coming on,
and the dam was opened, permitting the
Feather to flow on in its destined course
This year, however, the labor of remov-
ing the bed Of gravel and getting at the
pay dirt will be begun In time to give the
miners at least three months work. a
great army of men will be employed, and
Orovllle will again assume the appear
ance OF prosperous mining camp.

Gold Cure Winds

While the gold cure winds are blowing,
the Garten Institute would respectfully
suggest TO the good people of Sacramento
and vicinity that the very best evidence
as to the virtues OF "curer is the testi-
mony Of those who have tried it, not that
of newspaper articles, which we all un-
derstand are paid for by the line-the
more, the cheaper. A number of our cit
liens are only too glad to tell of their
complete emancipation from the rule and
power of the drink and opium habits
through the "Garten" remedies. Believe
these. Cali at institute and investigate,
and if those who need a cure will come
and see personally, or through friends,
they viii find that we effect permanent
cure for much less money than any insti-
tute IN the State of reputable standing,
for we charge no more in California than
we do in the East. 1t will also be found
that we guarantee cure in every case to
the satisfaction of the patient himself.
We also guarantee that no patient will
have his eyesight ruined, or impaired in
the least, during treatment or afterward,
as is done under some cures. which we do
not initiate" A man who has not been
ashamed to get drunk should not be
ashamed to get sober However, itwould
be simply impossible to regard with m ore
consideration the identity of patients or
callers than does the management of this
! institute. Man or woman can be treated
at home, on the quiet, if desired. The

ALONG THE PICKET LINE.

Frank S. Chapin's Long Journey for

Tap -Four states.

With Dexter spring carriage and
dashing span of bays Frank $. Chaplin,
the RECoRD-UNIoN's travelling CORE
spondent, started on Saturday morning
for trip intended to reach tour States
and keep him busy until snow flies on
the mountains.
The programme is to spend Sunday at
Marysville, then begin the canvass in the
vicinity of Grass Valley, taking in Ne
vada City, Forest City, Downieville,
Sierra City, Sierra Valley, Quincy, In
dian Valley, American Valley, Big
Meadows and Susanville. Then he will
drive over the Madeline Plains and next
the famous Surprise Valley and the coun-
try about Fort Bidwen.
Farm settlements will draw him over
the line into Nevada and Idaho, every
now and then, and he proposes to see and
be seen in the lake country Of Southern
Oregon.
Then he will drive down the Klamath
to SiskiyOu County. He Will look up the
fruit interests of Scott Valley, where they
raise those juicy red apples, and take a
spin among the mining sections that are
coming into such prominence OF late.
The route leads through old Trinity, and
Mr.. Chaplin expects to flnd that improved
| processes of reduction and new methods
OF transmitting power are likely To work
such revolutions in the prosperity OF
Trinity as they are beginning to do in
Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne.
From Trinity trip through the Hay
| fork country Will bring him into COM
paratively well-known territory.
| In writing of this country it will be his
aim to study the industrial features in the
! light of the best information to be drawn
from the use Of eyes and ears, and to pre-
sent to our readers advantages and OBJ
| jections impartially in the interest OF
| those seeking homes and locations.
The horses that are to make this cam
paign have been named Ben Harrison
| and Grover Cleveland. Ben started with
head up, champing the bit, and anxious
TO get to the front. He is just off the
pasture, and very confident of his pow
ers. Grover has served a longer time al
the business, and is very conservative in
his ideas of speed. To keep him in the
race at all, the traveller will be obliged tC
use persuasion that will probably change
his views on the tariff. At least, he
thinks the horse will seek protection
from unrestricted free trade in rawhide
When they come back next Novembel
we can tell better how Ben and Grove
