able Recovery Under the Care of d
De Monco and Associates.
ut was at least nine years ago that ray
trouble began. 1t came on from colds. My
head was at first principally affected. There
were severe pains across my forehead over ny
eyes. often causing me pain in the eyeballs.
My eyes would become weak and watery. My
nosrils would at times discharge watery mat
ter, and at other times become clogged up, so
that could scarcely breathe through them.
Constant ringing and roaring noises In my ears
distressed and annoyed me and made me fear
that my hearing was beco ming impaired,
The mucous from my head would drop back in
to my throat and keep me constantly hawking
and gaggIng and raising"
In this way Mrs. Mar, Stevenson, residing at
345 South Fourth West street, one of the many
grateful patients of DR.. De Monco and assoei.

mined. 1t was CATARRH OF THE HEAD, THROAT
AND STOMACH, believe they called 1t, but my
lungs and heart seemed to be Involved also.

sharp, shooting pains would take me in the
chest, running through to the shoulder blades.
NV heart would beat hard and fast, and this
would be followed by slow irregular teating
and a sensation of faintness or dizziness. The
least exertion would put me all out of breath
I had difficulty in getting air enough into my
lungs My breathing was lahoreG. 1t seemed
as if was drawing the air through q sponge,
and there would be wheeling, whistling
kind of sound with my breathing.
II had little appetite my stomach was weak,
and what food managed to eat would lay like
lead upon it, There would be a feeling of dis
tress and nausea after eating. Ny sleep was
ftful and broken.
"In fact, was a broken drown woma when
l vert to Dr. De Monco and associates. had
tried many doctors and all sorts of patent
medicines without getting relief. 1 could

CHARMING BILLY BOYD JAILED
He Is Charged With Passing
Bogus Checks.
His Dashing Career in Los Angeles
Brought to Sudden Close.
How He Succeeded in Making Many
Purchases In This City and
Santa Monica His Pres
ent Address.

r. Billy Boyd, "Charming Billy" is
in serious trouble; also, in the county
Jail. He is a new worker in the south
ern vineyard, recently hailing from the
land of the webfoot, and his crooked
career has been brought to an abrupt
termination before he could make hie
presence felt to any great extent.
On Monday evening about o'clock
flashily dressed fellow of the bowling
swell variety, aged about % years, en-
tered Bartlett's music store and asked
to be shown banjo, as he whished to
do a double song and dance. He pur-
chased cheap banjo, and offered in
payment check for $13, drawn on the
Farmers and Merchants bank of this
city, signed in bold, business-Ake
hand, az. L. Parmelee." He received
81 in change, and gaily departed, thrum-
ing on the banjo, "plink, PUNK, PUNK
ETY. plunk."
Later in the evening he called at the
Queen Bee restaurant, 322 North Main
street, and rendered $40 check in pay
ment for meal ticket. This check was
drawn and signed similar to the first,
but was dated 1882" Mslietrich, the
proprietor, pointed out the mistake,
when Boyd coolly replied: eyes, Mr..
Parmlee has made mistake; it is quite
natural; I'll come back in 20 minutes
with the correction made"
He duly returned with another check,
similarly made, and signed and dated
1888" The proprietor noticed that the
ink upon the paper had not dried, and
suspecting that the dude had check
factory, stated that he would investigate
the matter, and would keep the check.
Boyd then left.
Early yesterday morning Boyd and a
confederate went to Santa Monica. He
began operations Immediately on ar
rival with his bundle of small checks,
and succeeded in passing two-one for
$16 and the other for $12. These also
had the name of q. L. Parmlee as a sig-
nature. When the third check was
offered to another dealer, it was the
story of the pitcher going to the well
once too often. The third man was
personal friend of Mr.. Parmelee's. and,
on telephoning TO this city, learned that
the signature was forgery.
The dashing and "charming Billy
Boyd'' was arrested by City Marshal
Max Barretta, and taken before Justice
Strickner to answer on the charge of
forgery. He was held in $4,000 bail.
In the meantime Detective Benson,
who was investigating the cases in this
city, went to Santa Monica and returned
last evening with the prisoner. Boyd
stated to Detective Benson that if the
bail had been fixed at $1,000 he could
have given it; but that $4,000 was moro
than his Los Angeles friends could
stand.
Boyd's friends can find him in the
county Jail, row G, second cage to the

WILLIAMS CAUGHT HER FANCY
Her Husband Found the Two Huggine
and Kissfng.

Her Husband Found the Two Hugging
and Kissing.
A divorce suit was tried before Judge
Shaw yesterday in which an elderly
looking colored man named Henry
White was the plaintiff. He sought a
divorce from his wife Lydia White on
the ground of adultery, and named a
colored man named Williams as the dis
turber of his peace. The trouble oc-
Cured in Texas. White came out to
California five years ago and liked it.
He went back for his wife, and found
that she had taken up with Williams in
his absence. Mrs. White was brought
before the church and found guilty,
and White came back to Cal
ifornia. The old gentleman said
the first he knew of any intimacy
between the two was one morning when
his wife went out to milk the. COW. He
happened to go out and saw his wife
and Williams hugging and kissing.
When his wife came in he told her that
she had been doing wrong, and she said
that if he did not shut up she would get
Williams to whip him. The disagree
ment thus started did not end until
White came to California and his wife
went to live with Williams, who desert
ed his own family for her. Judge Shaw
granted the decree upon the showing
made.

BOOMERANG THRowERs.
Frank Frost and His savages Are In til
City.

Frank Frost and His Savages Are In tn
City.
The wild boomerang throwers are her,
sure. Those who have not yet eeer
these people will find them we'll repre-
sented in their pictures about town, 81
far as looks are concerned. There are
also pictures OF the boomerangs which
are good, but the picture gives rather
poor idea of what real boomerang il.
For the benefit of those who have never
seen either picture or boomerang, this
cannibal war weapon has close resem-
blance in shape to the old-fashioned
grain sickle. But it can be better des-
| cribed and come nearer home to you, es-
pecially to the girls, when you under
stand that wild mans boomerang is
shaped very much like a tame mans
arm, when it is crooked around the girls
waist, and the further around the arm
is and the tighter the squeeze. the more
like boomerang does it look. 1t is only
q matter of time now, when genuine
hugging will be referred to by the 400
as throwing the boomerang.
The wild Black Traoker's boomerang
is made of hard wood and is polished by
scraping with a piece of glass. They are
made only by the natives, who are found
in Australian Queensland. That is, this
locality abounds in the best boomerang
throwers.
No other tribe of people on earth can
throw the boomerang beside these wild
Australian Bushmen or Black Trackers.
They know nothing of firearms what
ever and have no idea of fear.
They are often employed by the Aus
tralian police to track down criminals in
the mountain fastness of their natl
country, and they are said to be more
unerring than the bloodhound. They
are as black as tar, and can learn
to speak any language almost. Some of
the gang here now can speak English
great deal better than most foreigners
who have been among English speaking
people all their lives. There are six men
and two women in the crowd brought
here by Frank Frost. Their manner of
throwing the boomerang must be seen to
be understood, or rather to be appreci-
ated, as it will never be understood by
the civilized people who have been try
ing to solve the mystery for thousand
years. They can throw a boomerang
clear around an ordinary building, say
100 yards in front OF them, and after
describing this circle the weapon will re-
turn to the thrower.
Exhibitions will be given Saturday
and Sunday at Athletic park.
