Sure Cure for Pneumonia.

The following recipe for pneumo-
MIA has been handed US by a gentle
man who tells us that he knows il
will help sufferers from the disease,
50 it has been tried recently by a
friend to whom he gave it and af-
furded instant relief. The following
is the recipe: Take ten or twelve
raw onions and chop fine, and put in
large spider over a hot FIRE; then
add about the same quantity of rye
meal and vinegar enough to form a
thick paste; let 1t simmer five or ten
minutes. In the meantime stir ii
thoroughly, then put it in a cotton
bag large enough To cover the lungs,
and apply to the chest as hot as the
patient can bear; when this gets
cool apply another, and thus continue
by repeating the poultices, and in a
few hours the patient will be out of
danger. This valuable recipe was
given him several yeas age by an old
physician, who sta. that it had not
failed in a single instance to effect a
cure of this too often fatal malady.-

The Tur key Shoot.

Wiggings' turkey shoot in Empire
drew a large crowd and those who
visited the sport are red hot for an
other chance to take iii fifteen pound
birds for two bits.
1t was the Carson shooters this
time that walked Virgins log.
At FIST the mark was little wild,
but VIII. they got the range they
made bird squawk nearly every
time they pulled the trigger.
Early in the game Virgins had a
smile clean across his face, when
the air was full of rifle smoke and
the birds intact, but later IN the
afternoon his Jaw hung at half mast
more than once when the birds
turned their claws towards the sky.
He is contemplating another shoot to
get even, but his friends say that he
is merely dong it to show that he Is
dead game, not because he thinks he
can do any better. Wiggings is
nothing, if not game.

Silver Party will take control of the

their individual exertioD. Had the
Republicans won they would be max

the same object. The sheep and the

Jackson, as he was about to sign his

Cass.
