Mrs. f. E. Davis of san Miguel, Cal,
says; Il am trying in measure to re.
pay the manufacturers of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for the great good their
remedy has done me. For years was
constant sufferer from weak lungs
and bronchial asthma. My rest at
night was disturbed by a hacking cough,
SO that | felt miserable the greater part
OF .the time. Many remedies recon-
mendsd by friends were tried, none of
Which proved suitable to my ease. l
ana not experience any beneficial results
until began taking Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. After two bottles of
the large size have been used l am
pleased to state, my health is better
than 1T has been for years. The sore,

can breathe easily. 1t has done me so
much good that | want all who are

CRY FOR MORE BONDS.

An exchange says that it looks very
much ~ if Wall street were conspirinS
20 compel the government to issue
another batch OF bonds. /, is no, likely
th ut the same syndicate that took the
last batch will take the next. There
had teen an issue Of bonds prior to the
ons taken by Morgan and his associates.
The Cleveland policy is to lei these "soi;
snars' go around. Every bond issue
puts big pot of money in the Golfers Of
the nego,iators of il. That much is in
the nature Of things. These n.gotistors,
from Jay Cooke to ], Ferponi Morgan,
sre brokers, entitled TO commission.
Now that the balance OF trade is
against this country, Wall street has hi,
upon . very simple rlan for draining the
treasury OF gold. 1t does not take very
heavy drain TO get up scare. By what
may be called the common Law OF fin,
ance IL has come TO BE- regarded as
necessary 10 the parity OF the two coins,
gold and silver, tina; there should b.
about 900 ,eno. 900 OF gold IN the trezs-
nry. i, Is only necessary TO draw out
Snecgh to reduce tie scld reserve below
that sraitrary figure 10 CRATE : cry for
more bonds. Two iS.ces were pc, cut
nv fresiden: Cleveland durin: the first
hall OF his administration, and there j.
no telling how man. more will follow.
Cleveland seems TO be at the mercy OF
the sharks that swim aranni the ship Of
state, and the ship itself is rudderless.
The administration seems to have mis-
taken these sharks for the moneyed III
terest ef the country. This is much
like installing the bears and bulls in
the Chicago grain pit for the farmers OF
the wheat and corn belts OF the prairies.

The concert for the benefit OF the
Belknap Rifles took place last night
in the Grand Opera house, under
the auspices OF the San Antonio
Quartette club, and local amateur
talent OF the first-class. 1t was an

very we'll financially, about 400
people passing through the doors.
The program consisted of music
by Jacob Waelder, Fred. Daggett
and E. w. Berry, on the mandolin,
vocal solos by Miss Hortense Jones
and Mr.. Gilbert Schramm, chorus
by the Quartette club and an exhi-
bition with bandmaster's baton by
Arthur Baker. The Rifles also
gave a very good drill on the stage.

Scientific analysis shows that
the Chaly beate waters Of Dulinig's

which are infallible in all diseases

the trinity OF organs which control

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

CHICAGO, June 26.-Just as the
horses were at the post for the fifth
race yesterday the sheriff OF Lake
county served an injunction on the
proprietor OF the track, forbidding
them from running any horses in
races at the Roby track for 30 days
from the date Of the Injunction.
The Injunction was issued by
Judge Gillett OF Valparaiso. The
owners of the track said they had
no intention of contesting the mat
ter and day was therefore the last
day OF the races for 80 days at least.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

The yearly report of the Inter.
state Commerce commission for
the twelve months ending June 80,
1894, is just received. 1t would
seem as though it was hardly neces-
sary to wait full twelve months

lie, but such appears to be the
length OF time required to make
the returns. From the report as
now submitted the following is
CLEANED:

close of the year, 17S,70S; increase
for the year, 2,247; per centage OF

lished; no greater increase is pre-
dicated for the year to end June
80, 1895.
The number of railway corpora
tions reported is 1924, an increase
OF 90. This does not include the SO
private roads in logging, milling
and mining districts. The move

greater than for any previous year,

the 80 roads, representing 73 per
cent of the entire mileage Of the
country also that 40 roads operate
l00,547 miles, or more than Sc per

pared to the 5S,S54 increase Of the

service l,27S,07S. Large numbers
OF old and worn out cars were de-
