Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, IL. was told by her doctors she
had consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of DR..
Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her
life. Mr.. Thomas Eggers, 1S9 Florida
st. San Francisco, suffered from a
dreadful cold, approaching consumpt-
ion, tried without result everything
else, then bought one bottle of DIR.
Kings New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. 1t is such results, of which
these are samples, that prove the Won
derful efficacy of this medicine for
coughs and colds. Sold at Evans.

but the floor is now on the side, now
on the top, now it comes down, and
your ride is quieted. All the time
your imagination is at outs with your
common sense and you still wonder
how it was done. 1 saw the trained
animals Of Boones Arena-272 i'm num-
Der. Over one hundred of these per-
formed tricks never equalled by man,
on the tight rope, or In the clowns

of fire, rush to the scene, put out the
fire and do hundred things too num-
erous to mention. Dogs, goats, coyotes
lions and tigers. all performing their
part as well as any human actor. On
the 3rd of February there was one act
not down on the bills when a ferocious
lion actually killed his keeper and
now his bloody clothes hang as a
trophy by the lions cage. Quite a
catas trophy 1 thought. 1 saw the
Ostrich farm with 30 birds from Is
months to years old. This is Won
derful sight, and most interesting of
all. 1 saw the Indian village, the
Esquimaux village, the Hawaiian viii
lage and the royal chain of ex-queen

perfect panorama of desolation. AS
you stand looking down into the abyss
of flame the light fades away, the
moon comes out, stars appear. The
caverns grow brighter, sulphur smell

then awful darkness; when all at once

disappears.

few moments her color changes and
then a beautiful living woman steps
down. The transformation is perfect,
and you only wonder how it is done.
OF all the cities 1 have seen, San
Francisco is the most disappointing.
The merchants and shop keepers,
everything, everybody, are in the
clutches of one rail road and will be
so for years to come. The town is full
of unemployed, without money and
without friends. Stay out of San
Francisco if you are out of work or out
of health. Los Angeles is paradise
compared with it.

OUR SUFFRAGE DEBATE.
THE ARMoRlES OF WIT, WISDOM
AND PHILOSOPHY pRAWN UPON
FOR WEAPONS BY THE
LADIES IN DEFENSE
or THEIR RIGHTS.

Mr.. Wilson returns to the charge
with the same old ammunition, firin;.
at us again that unfortunate cpl
sode' of the apple.
Now, nowhere can he find that Eve
was fairly and squarely warned by the
Lord, as was Adam, of the consequence
of eating of the fatal tree. We read
that the Lord God took the man,
notice the definite article "the" aIfd
placed him in the garden OF Eden.
"And the Lord commanded the man,
saying, of every tree of the garden
thou mayst eat freely but of the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil,
etc." Now from what source did Eve
receive her warning? My sisters, l
have always had sneaking suspicion
and that suspicion has lately grown
to conviction, that she got it second
hand. After the transgression did
Gods wrath fall first upon Eve?
Was she the first one called to &C
count, as being the greater sinner?
Not at all. These were the words
that sounded down "the grooves OF
Eden" in the awful tones of an Of
Tended God, Adam, where are thou?"
and Adam was afraid.
And that is what is the matter with
small portion of the Adams to-day.
They are afraid. Afraid of political
complications, that means, well, for
one thing. division of offices.
"And he shall rule over thee"
Nobody disputes it. Bless him, he
has always ruled over us in some
ways, and always will as long as the
world stands. Even so will woman
continue to Queen it over man till the
end of the earth. But does Mr.. Will
son presume to interpret the law, and
decide for the race. just how far man
shall rule over woman?
Evidently, he would keep her in
mental leading strings and declare to
the sex: In this manner and just so
far, may you act along this line, and
no farther. Just so tar may you think
along this line, and don't you dare to
think one bit farther. l know how
you ought to think. L am your rule.
1 will think and vote for you Just
the moment you are raised to the dig
nifty of "a man, and take that terrible
ballot in your hand and approach the
awful polls, just that moment do you
become, according to MIR. Wilson, "a
libel on all that is decent. modest,
lovely and good in woman" Verify,
what a time our decent hus bands and
brothers must have in exercising the
sacred right of voting"
MIR. Wilson assures US that man re-
ceived a penalty for sin but different
from Woman's. That penalty was to
earn his bread by the sweat of his
face. Now it occurs to us that we

FROM THE PACIFIC SLOPE.
TWO MORE LETTERS FROM Mr.
CUNNINCHAM-THE MID-WINTER
FAIR-sAN FRANCISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO, April IL, 1894.
lived in Los Angeles one month
visited the Island of st. Cataleria, a
summer resort thirty miles off the
coast; went hunting and fishing, saw
hundreds of sea lions, thousands OF
fish, plenty of wild goats and quail
and would have returned with more
game and fish than six horses could
haul if there had been a gun or fish
ing rod in the crowd. We got within
twenty feet of the seals and fish and
within as many rods of the wild goats.
Out here it is very necessary to have
a gun when you go hunting and some
kind of hook when you go fishing.
During my last week in Los Angeles
/ met Mr.. Theodore Simpson. He
holds twelve hundred dollar posi-
tion in the largest abstract office in
the state and he fills the place, too.
A five hundred mile ride over noun
tains and through deserts brought US
to Oakland by rail and by ferry to
San Francisco. This is a city built
on hills and high ones, too. The
streets all run crOss-ways with the
compass. You have TO wear heavy
clothing all summer and have an
overcoat handy as the afternoon
wanes. The searcher after health
GENES here to die or get away as soon
as possible. In the winter flowers
bloom and in summer dust blows.
Market street is the main street and
runs fIom the ferry southwest for
three miles-all the other streets run
into it-some at right angles, some at
acute angles. The architecture of
most of the city has a shabby appear
ance, little wooden structures along
side of palatial stores. Many of the
hill streets are green with grass or
weeds. They are too steep for teams
to climb with ease and cable cars do
not disturb their verpal beauty. The
business streets do not have grass in
them, however. All of upper Califor-
mia has but one railroad-and the peo-
PIE are its slaves. The Southern Pa
cific owns everything-all the water
front and all the approaches. The
people curse it and the business men
fear it. Times are hard and money
scarce and the people say the railroad
is to blame.
The southern half of California has
had no rain all winter. Barley straw
sells at twenty-five dollars per ton in
San Francisco. Sheep owners will
drive their sheep across the noun
tains into Nevada as soon as the snow
in the mountain passes melts. Every
thing green is nearly gone but barley
and wheat and they will soon be gone.
From now until next winter they
don't even hope for rain, for they know
it never comes in summer. Give me
Kansas, with her four seasons, where
"hope deferred" may make the "heart
SICK" rather than country without
hope. Next time I'll tell you about
the fair and then I'll start for home.
