Swarms of Red Men in and About
Natoma Grove.
A Splendid Picnic Yesterday - Prize
Winners in the Foot Races-An
Enjoyable Day.

A very large crowd from this city at
tended the Red Mems picnic at Natoma
Grove near Folsom yesterday. A train
consisting of sixteen coaches left here at
8 o'clock, and the immense throng at the
depot presented a lively and pleasing
sight before getting aboard.
The coaches leaving this city seemed to
be crowded to their utmost capacity, and
yet room was found for others who
boarded the train at way points. Many
also went from this city and the sur
rounding country in carriages and other
conveyances.
The day was a splendid one, the ac-
commodations at the grounds were ex-
cellent, and those who attended were
unanimous in pronouncing the picnic
great success. The dancing platform at
the grove was in excellent condition, and
the Hussar Band from this city furnished
the music which, as usual, was of the
very best.
A number of clubs and parties took
along tents and other equipments, and at
the ground rendered pleasant receptions
to their friends and acquaintances.
Among these the Horseshoe Club of this
city had tents spread and entertained a
large AuHIDST Vi ul6ulDeTS ana LQelr
friends. This club had at their quarters
the Sunset Quartet, and very pleasant
time was passed with music, games and
refreshments.
Throughout the day none seemed at a
loss to find entertainment and pleasure,
and those not dancing found many other
ways of enjoying themselves. During
the afternoon large numbers visited the
State Prison, which was opened to them
after 4 o'clock.
Footraces were run during the after
noon with the following result:
Boys under II years of age-First prize,
John Gallagher.
Girls under II years of age-First prize.
Mary Darlington; second, Lille Wilson.
Boys three-legged race-First prize,
Claude Brown and Willie Dias; Second,
Willie Flint and Charlie Harms
Married ladies' race-First prize, Mrs.
Thomas Lynch; second, Mrs. L. Leonard.
Barrel race-First prize, - Vassel;
second, Mr.. Rasher.
Young ladies' race-First prize, Miss
Futterer: second, Laura Wilson.
The lat mems race was won by Frank
Bergman. The prize consisted of a step
ladder, donated by L. B. Wilson.
returning, the train arrived here at 8
O'Clock, and judging from the crowded
condition OF the cars there was no stand
ing room to spare. 1t was calculated that
fully 1000 people went by the train
alone, besides the large number who
went by other conveyances.
A couple of Street-car men were left in
the woods, but it is not supposed that the
Red Men ambushed and massacred them.

RHEUMATISM is CURABLE.
A Remedy Discovered That Conquers
That Dread Direase.
DR.. Plouf Is Interviewed Regarding
the Features of His Wonder
full Discovery.
[San Francisco Examiner.l

Much interest is being manifested in
DR.. j. Z. Plouf's discovery of positive
cure for rheumatism, the announcement
of which was made recently in the
columns of the Examiner. Hundreds of
letters are being received daily by the
doctor inQuiring as to the nature of the
new remedy, whether it is necessary for
sufferers to come to San Francisco for
treatment and kindred other questions.
In order to supply the readers of the
EIdHlt1ler with information on a subject
which is exciting SO much attention, a re-
porter called yesterday upon the doctor in
his spacious offices in the Nucleus block,
where is also located his laboratory, with
its elaborate appliances for concocting
the wiZard-llke remedy.
Certainly" said the genial doctor. 81
am at your service. What is it you wish
TO know?''
How did you happen to discover this
specltlc?" was asked.
1t wasn't a matter of accident" re-
sponded the doctor, with spirit, "but
natural result of my Investigations into
the subject. My theory of rheumatism,
Its causes and It's manifestations i'll the
system, is different from the views in
vogue with the profession. Proceeding
upon my theory l have been expert
menting ever since l got my diploma,
ana last year during my practice as a
regular physician succeeded in evolv-
ing the combination of medical agents
which you have heard about. At first"
continued the man of medicine, ~ was
not really positive that the cure was an
lntallible one, but after l had tested it on
all kinds OF cases, some of which were of
twenty years standing, and the medicine
a u n oil lTNff fl,nr., fl,s,,
became convinced that my discovery was
really the one that has baffled science for
centuries"
How is it used?" was the next ques-
ton.
"Internally," came the reply. SIT acts
directly upon the blood, and cures by
breaking up the disease and removing it
from the system"
II suppose you will soon have it for
sale IN all the drug stores?'' yentured the
news gatherer.
NO; that would be impracticable. DIFF
ferent people require different treatment,
which must necessarily be directed from
my ONCE. If handled by the drug stores
no discrimination would be exercised.
ana patients would wonder why they re-
celved no benefit, and accordingly would
assalI the merits of the medicine.'
But is 1t not necessary to come to your
Office for treatment"
Not at all; have patients all over the
United States, as we'll as in Alaska, Hon
olulu and Mexico, to whom l express the
medicine, for, being liquid, it must be
forwarded by express. All that is neces-
sary is for them to obey my instructions
and they can depend on getting results.
In order that everybody may be
able to avail themselves of the dis
coyery, have made a rule to charge
only for The medicine. There is
no one so poor who cannot afford
to be rid of their rheumatism under this
plan. | care more for the honor to be de g..
rived from the discovery than for the
money that might be made out of it,
