Pacific Co. was granted certain privi-
leges by the city that the Silsby lot
should become a part OF the public
highway, by purchase and dedication
by the company. This project failed
from the excessive value which Mr..
s. placed upon the property. He
doubtless, Hawkins-like, thought that
he had corner on that particular lot
that would prove bonanza. But
like the schemes which Bobby
Burns refers to, this particular one

simply bought a lot from Gen. Nc
Kenny and by little shifting of lines
the acquisition of the Silsby lot be-
came wholly unnecessary, without in
the least encroaching upon the rights
of the people. He has at various
times entreated the city authorities to
take up his quarrel with the company,
but so far without enlisting much
sympathy

MYSTERlES!
The Nervous System the Seat
of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries.

Recent discoveries have demons: rated that
all the organs of the body are under the con.
troll OF the nerve centers, located In or near
the base OF the brain. and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When IL Is re-
cord will cause paralysis OF the body below
the injured point. because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, il will be understood how
the derangement of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirdS of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action Of the nerve centers at
the base of the brain, not from 4 derange-
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases Is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause OF the trouble.
DIR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated Spc-
cialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years. and has made many important
discoveries In connec tiOn with 1t, chief among
them being the facts contained In the above
statement. and that the ordinary methods OF
treatment are wrong. All headache. dizzi-
ness, dullness. confusion. pressure. blues.
mania. melancholy. insanity. epilepsy. St.
Vitus dance. etc. are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success of
DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine is due to the
fact that 1t Is based on the foregoing principle.

CLEvELAND'S VICTORY.

The business interests of the country
owe President Cleveland a debt of
gratitude for forcing his party to settle
the financial controversy which has
disturbed the country and unsettled
commerce ever since his party went
into power.
The question may not have been
settled rightly, but the chief cause for
unrest lest the country might be forced
upon a silver basis and gold go to q
premium, will haye been removed by
the carrying out of the silver repeal act,
and that is what the country wants.
Cleveland's pluck and stubbornness
has carried the day. Business will
steadily improve If there are no more
bitches. He deserves credit for his
nerve and backbone.

A TORY FOREIGN MINIS TER.

There is wide spread revolt against
President Cleveland tor appointing AS
minister to Italy British dude who
wears knee pants and has only NOM
inaI residence in this country at b
Long Island summer resort. The Van
Allen appointment is retching toe stom-
ach Of Harper's Weekly which at first
defended the appointment. The sen
ate's confirmation is merely formal
1t is a fitting sequence to CIeveland's
treachery to the Geary law, an act de-
clared constitutional by the Supreme
Court and for violation of which b
common citizen would be arrested, and
very severely dealt with by federal
court. In its last issue HarpeTs surely
condemns this latest freak of Wall stree
nabobeDy.
WTbat an American president should
appoint an odious renegade of the Brit
ish ,aristocracy TO 80 high position at
Munster to Rome Is revolving to all tht
people of this Republic. That In all
the sixty-five millions of American Cit
izens Cleveland could find only peaked
headed summer followed Tory to rep
resent them IN King Huoert's court Il
humiliating confession. Here art
some expressions Of Democratic papers:
The New York World Is sick Of eat
Ing Cleveland crows. In a fit ofdyspep-
tic disgust the great organ refused long
or to work in Cleveland harness, and
bursts the golden bonds which have
hitherto bound 1t tn Cesar's column.
Such an exhibition Of independence
from such source is 30 refreshing we
take the liberty of reprinting the
Worlds editorial utterances, and re-
spectfully commend them to that class
of hallucinated Democrats who think
that Cleveland is greater than his party.
Here is what the World says:
We are frank to confess, however
shocking 1t may sound to the superser-
viceable party hunkles who seem to as
aume that the president can do no
wrong and must be supported right or
wrong, that If the World had thought
him capable of making such an appoint
ment as that of Van Allen 1t would not
have shown as much Interest in his
nomination and election as it did.
And we believe we express the senti-
ments of tens of thousands of Mr.. Cleve-
lands warmest admirers In the late
campaign. If this be treason, make
the most Of It.

Amounted the bridegroom.

There is a row in the fire department.
1t grew out of joke played upon one of
the paid men attached to Hose II, who
was to be married last night.
Before dressing for the ceremony ne
went to the bathroom to have bath.
The boys had previously removed the
lock from the door, and when he got in
to the tank they made their appearance
and gave him liberal painting with
ointment used ON horses hoofs. His
body was smeared with the sticky stuff,
and then he was scrubbed down with
brushes and water.
A neighboring druggist was applied to,
who recommended oil to remove the
stuff. This only set the ointment all the
harder, and the victim had to don his
clothes and go to his wedding with his
unique adornment.
No formal complaint has yet been
lodged at headquarters, but one will be
when the honeymoon is terminated

ONE-CENT POSTAL SERVICE.

Postmaster. General Bissell is ex

The white rat is often kept by boys
more, however, as a curiosity than as
a pet and always under protest from
their mothers. But boys lose inter
est and do not like care. SO the poor
creature is apt to be neglected and
become an offense in the household.
This need mover occur with any rat
that is cared for, especially if he is
not confined to a close cage. The
white rat is neither so intelligent
nor, in my opinion, so pretty as his
brown relative. The black and white
rat of Japan is sometimes seen in our
country, and he is said to resemble
our own rats in his characteristics =
