GENERAL GRANT.
How Near His Personal Memoirs
Came to be Lost.

a valuable History Written by Dying
Man, - Proper Nourishment Enabled
the Author TO Live Until the Compile
ton of His Book.
The fortitude shown by General Grant
in writing the second volume OF his per-
sonal memoirs while he was literally on
his deathbed, excels even the remarkable
courage exhibited by this famous soldier
in his many achievements on the field OF
battle.
Col. Fred Grant, speaking Of his fathers
last illness, says:-
"During the last four months OF his
sickness. the principal food of my father,
Gen. Grant. was Boyinine and milk; and
it was the use Of this Incompatible food
alone that enabled him to finish the second
volume of his personal memoirs
DIR. r. II. Douglas, Gen. Grants physi-
clan and friend, cordially indorsed the
above statement.
What Bovinine did for Gen. Grant it
has done. and is now doing for thousands
every day. 1t is the most wonderful con-
centration into small bulk of all the
life-eiying. muscle, flesh, and blood-mak-
ING elements of lean, raw meat ever pro-
duced.
1t is in no way medicine, simply a
food invigorant, that by its Strengthening
qualities gives the worn-Out or disordercd
vital centres of the body an impetus that
again starts them performing their natu-
raj functions.
1t is indorsed by eminent physicians
everywhere, and blessed by thousands
whose lives it has actually saved.
To neglect to use this wonderful food
in all cases of debility, wasting diseases,
overworlz, stomach and nerve diseases, or
for weak infants, chronic inyalids, loss OF
vitality in old age, is to throw away ona
of the greatest chances of saving life.

For wears l was troubled with most
alarming and painful symptoms of dys-

and slecplessness. During these many

Sarsaparilla and other medicines / saw
advertised in the papers, giving them all
q thorough trial. All of these, although
highly spoken of by persons whose integ-
rity could not doubt, proved worse than
useless in my case, and l kept growing
steadily worse. l became at last con-
vinced that the numerous physicians
had consulted were right, and that my
disease was indeed incurable. Giving up
all hopes, the only course left for me was
to reduce the pain to q minimum. This
was obtained by eating as little as would
keep body and soul together, and abb
staining from all substances containing
fats, sugar al d starch Some months
since kind friend gave me bottle OF
Rcd Seal Sarst parilla. At first would
not take it as 1 had lost faith in every

parations were effcc. ually eliminated at

goodness He has allowed me to find this
precious medicine. Finding relief with
the first bottle obtained more, and Kept
taking it until today 1 am completely

breath of life.
i am convinced of the superiority OF the
Red Seal .Sarsaparilla over all others l

so that others like myself suffering from
dyspepsia or kindred diseases OF the diges-

FACING a HUNGRY LYNX.
A California Engineer Has an Exciting
Encounter In 81 Mill.

Tho engineer of flour mill at San
Quentin, Lower California, heard low,
rasping pur whilo at work in his engine
room one day, and, upon looking toward
the door, saw an unusually large lynx
staring him in the face. Tho beast was
gaunt with hunger, and its condition had
evidently mado it bravo, for it appeared
fierce and in no hurry to turn back. The
engineer would have turned back himself
but the only means of exit was occupied
by his visitor.
The engineer saw that no other weapon
than brick was at hand. Before he could
reach for the missile tho lynx sprang into
the room, uttering a growl. Before tho
huge cat could make a spring that was in
tended the brick went whizzing through
the dir and landed between its eyes. The
blow dazed it, but notwithstanding this
the maddened brute sprang toward the
man in n way that caused tho latter to
bunt over a barrel of water in his haste to
escape. Part of the water fell over the
lynx, and this appeared to have o more
depressing effect on tho animal than the
brick had. it stopped moment in its
rush, and the engineer, still unable to got
out of the door, took out his iackknife
and stood ready to use it.
1t was a wise move on his part, for the
cat sprang at him and was about to use
its claws when the man stabbed it in the
body. The llow was accurately placed,
fortunately, and the lynx fell without a
whiinper. The man stabbed the animal a
dozen times after that until he was sure
it was dead.
The lynx was a fine specimen, and had
it not been reduced in strength by hunger
could easily have whipped man armed
with anything less than a gun.-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

THE NEW ELECTION BILL
AGREEMENT REACHED BIZ THE
REPS. AND POPS.
There is TO be no Challenging at tho
Polls-AlI Challenges Will be
Settled Before the Election

I
Polls-An Challenges Will be
| Settled Before the Election
Populists in the Legislature have
agreed upon an election law, the
principal features of which are as fol-
lows:
Two boxes and two ballots. One
ballot contains names of State officers.
and judges and Congr. ssmen. The
other box is for all other officers.
Registrars of election are appointed
by the clerk of court, one for each
political party. Poll-holders are ap-
pointed in the same way. Both
TT gistrars and poll holders are nomi-
mated by the State chairman of each
political party. The bill defines as
political party one which in the last
election for Governor and other State
officers received 10000 votes and thus
recognizes three parties in this State.
There will be two messengers sent
from each polling place as soon as the
returns are made out. One of these
takes the returns to the register of
deeds, the other messenger takes them
to the clerk of the court. The returns
must be so received by the clerk aud
register within twenty-four hours
alter they are prepared, ana TecelptS
for them must be given TO the messen-
gers. The polls are to close at the
usual time, sunset
As soon as the ballots are counted
they are replaced in the box in which
they were deposited or in another
specially prepared for that purpose,
and this is JO be fastened and sealed,
and the boxes are TO be at once sent
to the Superior court clerk, who Is
made county canvasser. He adds up
the figures of the election returns,
but has not judicial power. He is re-
Quired TO keep the ballots. The clerk
and the register of deeds record the
abstracts of election, and send certi-
fed copy to the Secretary Of State.
The latter then adds up the figures.
He has no judicial powers.
The registration of voters will
for four successive Saturdays prior
the election, at the voting place, from !
9 a m. to 4 q. 10. On the second Sat
urday before the election day challeng-
lug will be done, notice 20 be given as
provided by the present law The
registrars decide as to qualifications
OF the voters, and if the challenge is
good they are TO strike out the name
OF the voter. There is to be no chal-
longing at the polls. All persons will
be permitted to register, giving his
name, age, residence, and taking the
oath prescribed by the constitution.

YOUNG PEOPLES UNION.
A Delightful Entertainment az the
First Baptist Church.

The anniversary of the Baptist
Young Peoples Union, at the First
Baptist church, last night, was a
success,
The church was bea utifully decorat-
ed. The program of the evening was
fully carried out.
Secretary Paul, of the Young Mems
Christian Association, made an ap-
propriate address, pointed, practical
and encouraging.
T. S. Sprinkle, leader OF the Bible
Study Department, in a very impress
sive and instructive manner reviewed
the work Of the year in his depart
ment.
DR.. S. J. Montague, leader of the
Educational Department, told of what
had been done and what should be
done by the young people to make
themselves power for good. His re-
marks were suggestive and timely.
W. j. Conrad, W. T. Carter and J..
f. Jeffries presented reports from their
respective committees showing the
work done by them 1g the year.
These reports were follt by a stir
ring address from Rev. ) A. Wray.
BE had selected suitable subject.
In choice language and an impressive
manner he claimed the eager interest
of the audience throughout.
The solos sung by Mrs. Crist and
Mrs. Sprinkle added greatly to the en-
joyment Of the evening.
The following newly elected officers
were presented to the Union:
B. Pressly Smith, President.
E. A. Pierce, Vice President.
j. S. Martin, Secretary.
Arthur McCrary, Treasurer.
T. S Sprinkle, leader Of the Bible
Study Department.
DR. S j Montague, leader Of Educa-
tfOnal Department.
Rev. I'll. A. Brown, leader Of Social
Department.
Owing to the lateness OF the hour
the President did not deliver the adj
dress prepared for the occasion, but
in few well-chosen sentences he ex-
pressed his appreciation OF the conf
dence reposed in him and gracefully
assumed the duties of his position.
A unique feature of the evening was
the presentation of beautiful gold
pin to the President by Rev. S F.
Conrad, in behalf of the members of
the Union.
Refreshments were served in the
annex by the ladies in charge and the
large number OF young people present
enjoyed fully their part Of the miscel-
laneOus business.
We trust the Union may have an
other year of successful work in our
midst.
