Diptheria Cured.

MOUNTAIN RAM AND PUMA.
A Furious Battle Which n California
Hunter Witnessed.


Hunter Witnessed.
Lovers OF sport with spice of dan
ger will find plenty of it to suit them
in the interior of Lower California,
where great stretches of heavily tim
bered land have yet to receive their
visit from a white man. Col. William
Denton, the well-known mining man
and surveyor, was the undesigning wit
ness of a savage and exciting contest
while on his prospecting trip north of
Calamoiue some weeks ago, the partic-
ulars of which he related to a San
Diego Union man. Attracted by a furi-
Gus noise in the brush and the evident
uneasiness of his animals he tied them
securely and went forward to recon-
noiter, un1imbering his gun for use If
necessary. The sight that presented
itself was certainly worth witnessing,
as battle royal between two magnifi-
cent brutes A full-grown California
lion had attacked mountain sheep,
and was finding its claws full in trying
to let go. The sheep was of formid-
able size, and he used his monstrous
horns with astonishing rapidity, back
ing off, stamping his feet with quick
jerk, and propelling himself at his foe
like a sure-enouGh battering ram.
The great yellow puma, agile and
watchful, 1eaped aside or into the air
to escape the onslaught of the tartar
he had caught, and with a lightning
like spring he would aim to clutch the
ram behind the horns But not once
did the interested observer see the ram
caught unawares. The heavy horns
were swung quickly on the pivot of his
sinewy neck, and received the clawing
of the cat with no effect whatever.
Col Denton watched the sport with
all the zest of sportsman, and, on in
dications that the. belligerents were
becoming mutually disgusted and
about to separate and disappear, he
embraced a moment when the ram
stood stamping his fore feet preparing
to dart forward, and gave him bullet
behind the shoulder. The ram 1eaped
upward and forward, game to the last,
and tumbled forward on his horns.
Col. Denton then turned to pay his
respects to the lion, but as the brute
had already received more than it had
bargained for, it was out of sight. The
splendid horns of the ram were secured
by the hunter as trophy.

THE CITIZEN
BIlLY'S JOKE.
The Story of a Mountain Goat Who ID sf
a Humorous Turn OF Mind.

humorous Turn OF minus
A mountain goat thatI once kept in
confinement was about as cunning as
the average street arab, and, had he
lived to maturity and kept on acquir-
ing knowledge, the chances are would
have had to move out and give him the
ranch.
He usually followed me, says a
writer in Forest and Stream, on short
excursions into the woods, and gen.
orally kept right at my heels; but on
one occasion he Jagged behind, and,
although I called him several times,
he paid no heed. 1 finally walked back
to see what he was interested in and
found him busy feeding on some moss
that grew at the roots of fir tree,
so left him and continued my tramp.
But after I had got away short dis
tance the thought occurred to me to
hide and see how he would act; SO
slipped into a hollow stump close by
the trail and awaited the result. Pres
emily 1 heard him coming bounding
along the trail, and after he had
passed l stuck out my head to watch
him. When he got twenty feet beyond
me he stopped and commenced looking
around, and the comical expression of
his face as he scanned every object
that bore any semblance to human
being caused me to burst out laughing,
when he turned and saw me. Then he
commenced to sulk and would not go
any further, SO I had to go home.
The next day he followed me as
usual, but in the midst of some thick
brush and down timber got interested
in bird that 1 was following up, and
forgot the goat, and when l came to
look for him he was gone. Walking back
to where I last saw him I called, but
no BILLY" came in sight. Then COM
menced a diligent search, and present
~ caught sight of something white
beneath brush heap. STOPPING down
and looking in, saw the little brute
curled up in heap, and not move
could / get out of him. Reaching in,
caught him by the leg and pulled him
out, and gave him a good cutting on
both sides of his head. But he did
pot mind it a bit, and seemed to enjoy
the joke immensely, capering about in
his usual manner all the way home, as
if he would say: You hid from me
| yesterday and 1 hid from you to-day,
| and honors are even"

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

The great Pittsburgh Exposition, will
inaugurate the Fifth Annual Exhibition
amid the booming of cannon, music OF
bands and general enthusiasm on Wednes-
day, September 8th, at P. NJ.
The opening of the Exposition and the
festivities attending it is recognized
feature with the citizens of Pittsburgh
and surrounding cities. The attractions
provided by the management have always
been of the best obtainable, and this
season extraordinary efforts have been
made to surpass all former attractions.
The magnificent band of Ellis Brooks,
of New York, will be on hand at the
opening, and Black Patti, the famous
colored singer, will begin an engagement
at the same time, remaining for the nrst
ten davs. She will be followed by the
great Salchi. probably the greatest dra-
matte contralto in the world. : Then
comes the unrivaled Gilmore's Band,
which has beyond question, played TO
larger and more appreciative audiences
than any other military band In the
country This superb organization will
remain for four weeks, and, 1t Is safe to
say, will meet with special favor. from the
hundreds of thousands of people who
visit the Exposition.
Madame Amalia Materna, the un-
equaled German singer, who has no rival,
and who was chosen by Wagner himself
to interpret his matchless compositions
at Bayreuth and elsewhere, has been Sc
cured at great expense, for the entertain
ment of the patrons of the Exposition.
Miss Lillian Blauvelt from the Royal
Opera House, Brussels, and late Prima
Donna of the Damrosch Orchestra OF
New York, will give a series of twelve
concerts. This beautiful and accom-
plished artist cannot fail to please all
lovers of music.
Signor Campanini, the Incompatible
tenor, whose fame is world wide, who
has for years been singing with Adeiitia
Patti, has been secured for one week.
1t is apparent to everyone who has the
slightest knowledge of music, that 1t is
impossible to present attractions OF
higher order While these artists have
always demanded and received immense
salaries, the Exposition has made it pos
sible for them to be heard at regular
Exposition prices and no change will be
made in this respect. The Exposition
management believes that the increased
attendance at the concerts, will enable it
to stand the increased expense incurred.
The season of Fall Festivities will open
under the most favorable auspices, and
while thousands of our people may not
be able to visit Chicago and the World s
Fair, owing to the great expense, they
may feel assured that visit to the Pitts
burgh Exposition will afford them no end
of pleasure. As usual the railroads will
make special rates to patrons who may
wish to visit Pittsburgh and its magnificent
Exposition, and take in the many good
things provided for their pleasure and
enjoyment. The entire Exposition viii
be q series Of surprises, new music, new
sxhibits, and Aseelty everywhere.

Don't Put Them Away.

There should be placard on every wall
of every house: "Do not put away things"
The habit of putting away things has
brought untold misery to thousands of fam
lilies. Your morning and your evening pa
pers are put away. Your magazine of the
current month finds its way to the store
room as part of the literature of last
year Your cigars are so carefully put
away that they are never available. Once
five boxes of quinine pills were found in as
many places after the man who wanted
them was dead. Once there was no light
in country house for three nights because
some thousands of matches had been put
away. Oh, do not put away! Do not be
so internally careful not TO have things
V here you can put your hands on them.
Leave the chairs, tables and beds sufficient
ly in sight to be used and occupied

MELlOWED WHISKY.

A Bottle of the Stimulant Lies in Tree
Trunk Thirty-Six Years.
Thirty-six years ago man named
Jones, who was employed by Frank
Lockwood of this town, says a Stam-
ford Conn., correspondent of the New
York Sun, was at work on Mr.. Lock
woods farm, and as a stimulant he
took out to the lot with him pint
flask of prime whisky. During the
morning Jones took one nip, and, see
ing his employer coming, he slipped
the bottle in a hole in tree standing
near, intending to return and get it
after Mr.. Lockwood had gone home.
When the opportunity came he was
disgusted to find that the tree trunk
was hollow and the bottle had fallen
to the bottom and probably broken.
Jones related the incident to Mr.. Lock
wood sometime afterward, who
laughed at the loss and thought no
more about it. Last week during a
severe windstorm the old tree, now a
rotten stump, was blown down. Mon
day Mr.. Lockwood went out to haul
away the trunk and was surprised to
find his former employees whisky flask
safe and unbroken. He took out the
cork, took one smell. "And, SIR" said
he, though I've been teetota1er for
nigh onto fifty years, never was so
tempted to take a taste of whisky in
my life as l was then. But I didn't,
and the stuff is safe up at my house" :"
1t is said the whisky, when poured out,
had the consistency and color of olive

10 the Democrats Of Montgomery
and Menefee Counties.

am informed that some of the
tax payers of this Legislative dis
trict desire an expression of my
sentiments in regard to taxation,
fearing my connection with a bank
will incline me to favor such cor
porations.
Permit me to quote the Consti-
tuition upon the subject:
Section Ill provides, "They
(taxes) shall be uniform upon all
property subject to taxation"
Section ia. GAIL property in
this State, whether owned by nat
ural persons or corporations, shall
be taxed in proportion to its value; !;
and all corporate property shall pay
the same rate Of tardtion paid by
ndtridWaJ property"
As this is part of the organic
law, no Legislature has the power
to change it:
If elected win take an oath to
the Constitution, and you
cannot believe / will violate it or
attempt to evade the plain proyis-
ions of the instrument.
/ am too good Democrat to
participate in any sort of class
legislation-"Equal rights to all,
special privileges to none." There
is no good reason why bank, or
any other corporation, should be
exempted from its share of tax
alton, and / believe in letting these
burdens rest equally upon all. l

cure any special favors for the

will be to the whole people, and /
promise to discharge it without

The primary election law has
been tried in a number Of places
and it's workings have been receiv-
ed with most unbouuded favor.
The law throws such restrictions
around the ballot, that it is not
safe to monkey with it. The Off
GERS Of elections under the new
order Of things have to run such
risks that it would be difficult for
any candidate to induce them to 90
crooked in the matter of returns.
The prospect Of wearing a striped
suit is not specially conducive to
fraud in these matters. Under the
new law we will have honest
primaries.

The backbone of the financial
panic is undoubtedly broken, and
the worst is clearly passed. The
financial outlook, the country over,
daily grows brighter. Reports
from the great money centers con-
tinually give more encouraging
statements of matters. The banks
are rapidly retiring vast amounts
of Clearing House certificates,
issued to meet the expenses of the
times. They are paying out money
on checks. The premium on cur
rency has disappeared, and they
are now loaning to their customers.
In our own city the banks now
open are in fine shape. The Trad
ers Deposit will reopen at an early
day, as it has now secured ample
money to meet every obligation,
and some minor details, only, are
left to be arranged. Cattle are
going off and whilst the price is
low, still a large amount of money
is being put into the country from
this source. Tobacco is command
ing a good price, and the market
seems to be in that shape that pre-
cludes aa possibility of its going
back. There are many crops of old
tobacco in the hands Of the raisers,
and the crop that has been housed
is, pronounced by all, the best in
the hurley district, both in quality
and quantity. This must bring
much money to us. Altogether
the outlook for Montgomery seems
to be anything but unfavorable.
Times are Frightening and money
will soon be much easier here.
