Once Used, they are Always in Favor.

Assist Nature a little now and then, with
gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby remov-
ing offending matter from the stomach and
bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver
and quickening its tardy action, and you
thereby remove the cause of multitude of
distressing diseases, such as headaches, in
Digestion or dyspepsia, biliousness pini-
pies, blotches, eruptions, boils, constipa-
ton, piles, fstula and 1naladies too numer-
Gus to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their
bowels, they would have less frequent
occasion to call for their DOCTORS ser
vices to subdue attacks of dangerous dis
eases
That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, DR.. Pierce's Pleasa It Pellets
are unequaled, is proven by the fact that
once used, they are always in favor. Their
secondary effect is to keep the bowels open
and regular, not to further constipate, as is
the case with other pills. Hence, theirgreat
popularity, with sufferers from habitual
constipation, piles and indigestion.
They absolutely cure sick headache, bill

MRS. HAMMER PROVOKED
And a San Bernardino Jury Acquitted
the Lady
City Assessment-Putting the Fiesta on Its
Fee.-The Cnurthouse-A SWIM
dicr's Racket

SAN BERNARDINO. August 20.-Mrs.
Leonora Hammer was acquitted today of
battery for whipping William Ar
nold. by jury OF six men. Mrs. Ham
mer admitted she had belabored Arnold
over the head with a whip, but claim ed
that she had sufficient provocation. and
the jury so found.
The assessment nf this city as ret urned
by Asses sor w. J. Seavsr IS $685., 267 less
than the ass sassment of year ago, and
these figures will not be materially
changed when the board of equalization
has completed its work of going through
the rolls. The reduction is practically
the same as was made in this city by
County Assessor Kendall, and of the
whole amount S512 1923 is in the old city,
bounded by First, Tenth, A and 1 streets.
The guarantee committee for the Fiesta
is in session this afternoon In tho room
formerly occupied by the cham m Der of
commerce exhibit. and it 8 again pro-
posed TO put the celebration on it's feet
and carry it through to a successful issue.
A different method Of securing the guar
antee has been adopted. 1t is now pro
posed that fifteen citizens shall be found,
each of whom shall be willing to pledge
himself for 800, and thus raise the
needed $500 guarantee.
One floor of the new courthouse may
be completed during the present fiscal
year. The architects estimate that it will
cost S24, 900 and $26, 900 respectively to
complete the upper and lover floors to the
building. If office rooms on either floor
are completed it will furnish quarters
for the county offices which are now out
of the courthouse. and provide a safe
place for county records. in addition to
saving the rental now paio.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 20.-An i'm
portant circular letter has been issued by
the California Winemakers' corporation
to its mem bers. 1t treats of tho crop out
look, the supply ana demand for white
and red wines, the price of grapes, new
system of grading. indisoriminate blend
ing, stock subscription reduction. and, in
general. the entire situation at the open
ing OF the vintage season.
Reports indicate that the 1895 vintage
should equal or slightly exceed the crop
of 1894. and the quality should be a great
improvement over the last. as the growing
season has been unusually favorable.
Vineyards have been better cared for be-
cause of the better prices secured by the
corporation, and it is hoped that the inn
proved quality of the '95 wines will ena-
BILE us to still further improve prices.
An important warning is given in rela-
tion to the white wines. These, ii is
stated. are not equal to our average red
wines. They are little sought fo' and ex-
tremely difficult to dispose of unless they
be of perfect quality. White wines COM
posed only one-seyenth OF all the wines
conveyed TO tne corporation, ana III is
fact that there is demand for only one
half this amount, which seems enough TO
fill the present requirements of the trade.
The indications ara that there will be an
abundant crop of white cranes. This,
with the fact that there will be consid-
erablc carried over stock, leads the wine
makers corporation to the conclusion
that the price for white wine will be less
than formerly and they are, therefore,
warned against overproduction OF the
white commodity and advised to select
and preserve Tor market only that which
is of high character and sure promise.
In this connection it is suggested that
the white grapes can easily be turned
into sherry material with profit.
