A BOON TO THE AFFLICTED.

Scientific analysis shows that
the Chaly beate waters of Dulinig's
well are possessed OF constituents
which are infallible In all diseases
OF the liver, kidneys and stomach,
the trinity Of organs which control
the human system. They embrace
Natures own remedies. Why, then
dose your system with poisonous
drugs, when at your very door there
is a remedy prepared for you
which will bring the bloom Of
health to the cheek, restore disor-
dered digestion, and build up the
vital forces? There is no remedy
like Dullnig's Chslybeate water for
the over-taxed or broken-down sys-
tenn. 1t can always be found, fresh
and sparkling, on tap at George j.

Accident to a Child.

Eugene Dietrich, Jr., while rid
ing a bicycle on Alamo street, at
the corner of North yesterday af-
ternoon late, collided with small
child which ran directly in front OF
his wheel. The child was thrown
to the ground, but was not injured
perceptibly, while Dietrich took a
hard header over his wheel. By
ISLANDERS who saw the accident say
Dietrich was entirely blameless for
the occurrence. The child was with
another little one, who said they
lived on Garden street.
1t is not safe for children OF such
an age to be allowed alone on the
streets, and parents should be more
careful in sending them out.

A Street Car Accident.

San Pedro Avenue Druggist
Herman Schuchard, while on a
street car on Government Hill last
night, standing on the foot board
because the car was overcrowded,
had his hat knocked off by a guy
wire pole, as the car was passing.
He turned to look for his hat, and
as he did so, another pole was
passed, which struck him on the
back OF his head, severely injuring
him, though he was not knocked
of the car.

UNCLE Mates FUNERAL.

Twas not at all like those you see Of or
binary men;
Twas such as never could occur except
ing now and then;
For Uncle Nate had studied hard upon 1t,
night and day,
And planned IL all while yet alive-in
his peculiar way.
I've managed other mems remains" he
said with quiet tone,
And now I'll make a first class try to
regulate my own"
And so, month before his death, he
wrote the details down,
For friends to print, when he was dead and
mail throughout the town.
The paper said: I've figured close, and
done the best knew
To have good large funeral, when this
short life was through;
I've thought about II night and day, I've
Droooed Ger the same,
Until IL almost seemed task to walt I'M
I'LL IL came.
Especially as my good wife has wandered
on ahead,
And all the children we possessed have
many years been dead;
And now I'll tell you what want my
friends and foes to do
I'm sorry that can't be here to push the
arrangements through;
do not want TO hire hearse, with crepe
around it thrown;
l'm social like, and am not used TO riding
round alone.
Bring my old wagon into which the chill
dren used TO climb.
Until I've taken on drive full twenty at
time;
We've loafed along the country roads for
many pleasant hours,
And they have scampered far and near,
and picked the freshest flowers;
And / would like to have them come up.
on my burial day,
And ride with me, and talk to me, and
along the way,
| want my friend, the minister, the best
of preacher folk,
With whom I've argued, prayed and wept,
and snapped thousand joaes-
To talk a sermon 10 the friends, and make
IL sweet, but strong;
overriding.
And tell him, Notwithstanding all his elo-
Quence and worth,
'Twon't be the first time l have slept
when he was holding forth.
I'd like two texts-and one shall be by
Bible covers pressed,
And one from outside that shall read, he
did his level best
And any one I've given help-to comfort
or to save,
just bring a flower or sprig OF green
and throw 1t in the grave.
Please have a pleasant social time round
the subscribers bier,
And no one but my enemies must shed a
single tear.
You simply say odd Uncle Nate what
ever may befall,
Is having probably the best time Of US ALL
He's shaking hands, two at a time, with
several hundred friends,
And giving us who stay behind, good gilt
edged recommends"
They tried to follow all the rules that
Uncle Nate laid down.
When he was dead they came to him from
every house In town.
The children did their best to sing, but
could not quite be heard.
The parson had sermon there, but did
not speak word.
OF course, they buried him In flowers and
kissed him as he lay,
For not a soul in all that town but he had
helped some way;
But when they tried TO mould his mound
without the tears sweet leaven,
There rose loud sobs that Uncle Nate
could almost hear In heaven.
