COONBY'S COSTLY JAG.
The Perkins Farmer Declares George
Harney Robbed Him.

The Perkins Farmer Declares George
Harney Robbed Him.
George Harney, the Brighton saloon
keeper, is again in trouble. He was taken
before Justice Henry yesterday on a
charge of robbery preferred by James
Cooney, farmer who resides in that
neighborhood. and his examination set
for Saturday next at 10 O'Clock.
Cooney alleges that as he was passing
the Harney roadside castle last Friday
evening, on his way from the city, a
friend invited him in to take drop.
First he wouldn't, but on second
thought he concluded to accept the chal-
lenge. Now he wishes he hadn't, for he
says the drink that Harvey fixed up for
him knocked him out, and for q time be
didn't know whether he was atoot,
a-horseback or asleep.
Recovering his senses, he started for
home, and Harney's offer to accompany
him was accepted. After going short
distance, Cooney says, Harvey took $40
from his (Cooney's) vest pocket, and then
literally threw him out of the buggy
upon the road, dislocating his shoulder.
He says he lay there all night.
On the following morning the horse
and buggy were found at Guthrie's Sta
ton, near the city.
Harney denies the story, except that
Cooney was drunk at his place, but he
declares that Cooney was in that condi-
ton when he got there.

A SANITARIUM! !!
The Objects of the New
Enterprise Fully
Explained.
STRICTLY A SACRAMENTO
INSTITUTION.

IN ANSWER TO THE GREAT NUMBER
| of inquiries made: "What is the Neagle
Medical lnstitute?" 1t is a SANITAR1U NJ,
permanently located in Sacramento, where all
diseases are treated, especially chronic dis
eases of both males and females, by the latest
and most improved methods. All consulta-
tions and examinations with plain and valu-
able directions given for improvement OF
health, without charge. 1t costs the sick no
money to get the opinion of eminent and re-
liable specialists. All medicines are furnished
by the Institute without cost to the patient.
AT this Institute diseases can be and are
treated successfully at less cost than else
where. AS an evidence OF this fact, catarrh
and all kindred diseases will be treated until
February /, L 1S94, tor So per month and all
other diseases in proportion.
We desire those treated elsewhere and not
cured to visit US and learn our methods and
cures
1t will be the plan to publish from time to
time the voluntary written statements of pa
tients who have been cured in the Institute;
but never, under any circumstances, will any
case or statement be published without the
written consent of the patient. AS an exam
pie, the following is a statement OF his case as
made BY Mr.. ID. NJ. Magann, a respected citi-
zen of st. Louis:

CAPITOL ELEVATOR.
Tho First Trip Was Made Yesterd'

Tho First Trip Was Made Yesterday
Afternoon.
The Capitol elevator is finished. Sec
retary OF State Waite, RECORD UNION
reporter and several other persons made
the initial trip to the top of the building
in it yesterday afternoon.
1t is several months since work on it
was commenced. Several trials were
made before place was found where the
shafts could be built, the steel girders and
beams interfering with it. When place
was finally selected, it was found neces-
sary to cut in two several of the steel
girders and brace the parts which were
left, from the ground to the root. 1t was
not supposed that this would be very
hard job. as it was thought that steel saws
would speedily cut them through. To
the astonishment of the contractor, how
ever, the steel saws made no impression
on them, being blunted Immediately.
and they had to be cut off by cold-chisels,
taking many hours work for two men to
cut one off. Perseverance at last accom-
plished the task, and the shaft was COM
pleted and the elevator put in. Jester
day was the first trip, and proved that
