In ment.

Surely if there are unhappy sufferers on
earth upon whom the angels look down in pity
it is people sgonized with rheumatism. They
are in torment the year round with little or no
respite. Now, there is no evidence to which
publicity has been given in behalf of Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters more concurrent and con-
vincing than that In behalf of its eficacy in
incipit mt rheumatism And since rheumatism
and rheumatic and simple gout are among the
most obstinate complaints to which this ad
mirable remedy is adapted, and since they all
have fatal tendency to attack the vital
organs. the advisability OF an early use OF the
BitteYs, when they manifest themselves, must
be apparent. Efficacious, and most slgnally so,
the Bitters, too. in malarial diseases, Kidney
and bladder inactivity, consti patton, dyspep-
sia, liver complaint and nervous ailments.

This total amount. the report says, is
only an estimate of what may be real
lied. 1t has been found impossible to
arrive at the true amount, because OF
the tangled condition of the banks as
sets. The total indebtedness of the bank
10 81 ,542, 247, and creditors can be paid
in full should the estimate of the COM
missioners prove correct. Very little
has been realized in notes and over
drafts. Many small debtors have been
granted extensions OF time for so and 80
days. As to the larger notes and over
drafts, legal proceedings are to be insti-
tuted at once. There ia no prospect OF
realizing any amount from the mines OF
the Cedar River Coal company. on which
the bank has mortgage for $l22. 900.
The mine can only be worked at loss,
and over $4,000 is now owing employees
as wages. 1t has been found necessary
to constantly pump water out OF the
mine in order to save it from ruin.
The receipts from November Sd to
December 3lst last were SAC, ,570.11, and
the disbursements, including s82l5.32
paid as taxes, s13.2S2 %, leaving On
hand balance Of $32,287.89. The re-
port concludes:
In regard to the probability of divi-
dend to creditors it is at present impos
sible to name any definite time when
and how much can be disbursed, as all
we know is that there is in the hands of
the sheriff $50, 1000, and in our possession
$32, ,287. so, making a total of $S2, ,2S7. .S9.
The efforts made thus far toward real
ization upon the assets are most unsatis-
factory, and indicate that most of Them
of any magnitude are doubtful and will
necesssitate long ana tedius litigation to
avail anything.
The bank commissioners have made a
start to enforce the claims of the Pacific
bank against various creditors. Suits
were brought yesterday against Daniel
Titus and E. s. Pillsbury for $3.50 on q
note executed March IL, 1891, against
Granville S. Abbott and his endorser,
David Hewes, for 1925, on note exc
cuted November 16, 1891, and against
A. Davis & Son for $500 on three notes
and for $11 1926 due on an ovsrdratt.
Ferdinand Smith, one Of the creditors
of the bank, will be paid in full. He
sued for $21, 900, claimed as a special de-
posit, and caused the sheriff to hold
that amount under attachment. Judge
Sanderson yesterday ordered the sheriff
to deliver the money to Smith.

REMARKABLE POKER HANDS.

Two Royal Flushes Synchronously Held
at the Pacific Union Club.
San Francisco Examiner: All the
men about town who play cards are talk
ing about the two remarkable hands
held few evenings ago at the Pacific
Union club, and the doctrine OF chances
is being calculated to ascertain how soon
such coincidence might be expected to
happen again. The general belief is
that no two such hands were ever held
simultaneously before since poker was
first played, and that no one now living
will ever see them 30 held again.
For the benefit Of the truly good it
may be stated that royal flush is the
highest hand in poker. 1t consists OF
sequence OF ace, king, queen, knave and
ten in any one suit. AS may be supposed,
the appearances of this hand are like the
visits OF the angels and not much more
frequent than dentition in hens. Con-
siderable poker 10 played at the Pacifs-
Union, but royal flush has not been
seen in months until the occurrence of
the other night.
There are tour tables in row in the
poker room at the club. Four men were
sitting at each OF the two middle tables
At identically the same time one OF the
players at each OF the two tables held o
royal hush in diamonds. And as II this
coincidence were not sufficiently un-
usual, each OF the lucky two got hands
in exactly the same way, getting the
ace, king. queen and knsve on the deal
and the 10 spot on the draw.
One only won s35 on his hand, but the
winning OF the other was 60 big that he
has kept the exact amount to himself,
40 as not to excite remark. aS
