S. Lemly sent out over half a
thousand invitations to the farmers
some time back to meet him in this
city ann talk potato" planting
with him. The time set for the
meeting was yesterday, and some
half dozen only responded to the in
vitatiou. Mr.: Lemly wanted to get
up an interest in potato raising for
the market abroad, but it seems
that our farmers are not yet ready
to give up cotton for any other
crop. Those present were enthusi-
astic and they may plant largely OF
potatoes this season and give the
shipping project trial.

The presence OF Tim Murphy aud
his clever company at the Opera
House, Feb. 2lst, in HOyt's lively
comedy. "A Texas Steer" will have
the effect of attracting to that
place OF amusement a very large
percentage of local play-goers who
have on previous occasions testified
their endorsement of this really
funny play and the cleverness with
which Mr.. Murphy interprets lis
leading character, Maverick Bran
der. "A Texas Steer, as every
one is pretty well aware by this
time, is keen-edged satire on poll
tics and society, which the wit of
Hoyt and the art of Murphy form a
union that is particularly agreea-
bic to American comedy lovers.

FREE TO EVERY MAN.
THE METHOD OF A GREAT TREATMENT
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
Failed.

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness the mental forebod-
severe pain. There Is no let-up to the
mental suffering day or night. Sleep Is
almost impossible and under such
strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer
rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of
sexual weakness, until it was a question
whether he had not better take dose of
poison and thus end all his troubles. But
providential inspiration came to his aid
in the shape of a combination of medi-
cines that not only completely restored
the general health, but enlarged his
weak, emaciated parts to natural size
and vigor, and he now declares that any
man who will take the trouble to send
his name and address may have the
method of this wonderful treatment free.
Now, when l say free, 1 mean absolutely
without cost, because Iwant every weak
ened man to get the benefit OF my expe-
rience.
I am not philanthropist, nor dc I pose
as an enthusiast, but there are thousands
of men suffering the mental fortunes OF
weakened manhood who would be cured
at once could they but get such remedy
as the one that cured me. Do not try to
study out how l can afford to pay the
few postage stamps necessary to mail the
information, but send for 1t and
learn that there are a few things on
earth that, although they cost nothing
to get they are worth fortune to some
men, and mean lifetime of happiness to
most of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box
181, Kalamazoo Mich, and the Informal
ton will be mailed in a plain sealed en-
velope. S-30-su&wed-tf

PROTECT THE CHILDREN

The streets are crowded with ladies'

and the usual custom of driving rapidly
through the, streets is becoming dam
gerous. A little child was struck by
buggy at the corner of Nineteenth street

to the ground, and narrowly escaped Sc
rious injury. All kinds of vehicles are
driven too fast along the business thor
ougfares at all times and the officials
should see that the practice is abated.

Captain Mercer of the schooner w. S.
Phelps performed most humane act yes
terday. He was bound out for Mendocino,
and when on the bar an overturned boat
was sighted. Two men were clinging to
the keel and Captain Mercer at once went
to th cir rescue. The men were taken of
but it was too rough to save the boat and
it had to be abandoned. The men were
crab fishers named J. Memeta and R.
Momaleona, and when hauled into the
Phelps boat were more dead than alive.
Both had to be sent aboard the schooner
in sling, and it was thought Memeta was
dead as the froth was coming from his
mouth. Both men were stripped and
rubbed AID Captain Mercer at once put
about and ran for MeIggs wharf. He
landed the men and saved their lives, but
be missed a tide and lost day.
The fishermen say they were returning
after mornings work when a roller cap
sized their boat. They got on the keel
and had been clinging to it for three hours
when the Phelps hove in sight. This is
Captain Mercer's first voyage in the
schooner. He succeeded Captain Farrell.
who fell into the drydock week ago and
died from his injuries.
This is the second fishing-smack that
has been lost within eighty-four hours.
On Friday last Captain Crowell, who was
making his first voyage in the City of

same position as did Captain Mercer.
