The present suffering and misery from
the humid heat at the East, resulting in
death and insanity, in complete pros
tration and the killing of domestic an
imals, illustrates the broad difference
between the climate Of California and
that Of the Eastern States. Here, on
account of the dryness of the atmosphere
under high temperature, radiation is
promoted, perspiration induced, and
the activity and capacity Of the lungs
enlarged. In the East the humidity of
the atmosphere serves the purpose of
checking radiation Of heat from the
body, free discharge from the pores is OBJ
structed. and the lungs are oppressed
and choked, and in consequence there is
great suffering. Yet all the misery of
our friends at the East arises from a
temperature ranging from 30 to 9S de-
grees, with one or two places reporting
as high a figure as 1OO while in Cali
fornia at the same temperature there is
comparatively no suffering. For in
stance, a society parade was worked off
in the stony streets Of Stockton on the
9th inst, with the thermometer in the
nineties, and in this city, with the regis
tration at 104 some weeks ago, busi-
ness and labor proceeded as usual, and
there was no noticeable distress by
those who avoided indiscretion in the
use Of liquors and ice water.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS.
There are About 400 More Than Two
Years Ago.

By constant pleading, coaxing and
warning on the part of County Clerk
Hamilton and the newspapers, most of
the voters in the county were finally
prevailed on to place their names on
the Great Register.
Registration closed on Monday night,
and the Notwithstanding some returns
yet to come in from the country-shows
about II. 500 persons qualified to vote at
the coming election.
This is about 400 in excess of the
number that was registered two years
ago.
There have been no rumors thus far
of any "stuffing" Of the register, and
the indications are that the county will
poll a good, strong vote, as there are
many phases of politics involved and
the crankiest kind Of cranks can all
find some alleged issue in which to in

COUNTIES CITED.
Those to be Heard Before the State
Tax EquaiizerS.

The State Board of Equalization at it's
meeting yesterday took UP the subject
of county assessments. A revision of
the list of counties was made and it
was determined to cite the following
ones to appear on the dates named and
show cause why their assessments
should not be raised: Alameda and
Santa Clara, August 18th; San Fran
cisco, 10Th; Butte, Goth; Solano and
Yolo, 21st; San Bernardino, 24th; Sac
ramento, 25th; Humboldt, 9th.
San Diego, which has asked for a re-
duction, will be heard on the 24th, and
Monterey which has made a similar re-
quest, will make her plea on the 26th.
A comparison of the assessments of
the counties cited for 1895 and 1896
may be interesting and is as follows:

CONFLICTING EVIDENCE.
James Buford Convicted Yesterday of
Stealing a Watch.

James Buford was tried in the Police
Court yesterday for petty larceny, being
charged with stealing q silver watch
from a man named Henry Williams.
He claimed to have bought the watch
from a stranger, who came along just
as he had returned from a bicycle ride
and was looking in the window of a
jewelry store, and who offered it to him
for So, but took 81 IS for 1t.
The evidence for the prosecution, how
ever, differed materially from his and
the books at the cyclery, where he
claimed to have hired his bicycle,
showed that he had not had one on that
night. He was convicted and will be
sentenced to-day.

Even If It were true that free coinage

Even if it were true that free coinage
at l6 to / would raise the price of sill
yer. how would that benefit the great
majority of the American people? MOI
one person in thousand owns silver
mine or has silver bullion for which he
wants a higher price. But everybody
wants to buy silver in the form of man
ufactured articles of use or ornament,
and therefore wants 1t to be as cheap
as possible A scheme for making glass
ware or hardware dearer would not re-
ceive much favor from the consumers
of those goods. Is it at all likely that
the consumers of silver manufactures
are anxious to pay more for them?
Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1896-10-09
Now, to start with:

Suppose Bryan was elected and the
free coinage act had been passed and
that free coinage was an actual fact.
Suppose that silver could be taken to
the mint and coined into silver dollars
at the ratio OF 16 to /.
How would that affect us?
We haven't got any silver bullion.
A whole lot Of people who own sill
yer mines have it, and so they could
have 1t coined into 16 to | dollars, but
not having any ourselves we could not
have u solitary, single dollar coined
under the free silver act
Now, suppose however, that all the
silver mine owners and others who
had silver took it all to Washington or
Philadelphia or to some other United
States mint and had it coined into l6
to l dollars. and
Suppose so much had been coined
that all the silver in the world was
made into 16 to / dollars, and
Suppose that every one of these dol
lars was piled in one heap right on the
next block, and
Suppose every single one OF them
was worth 100 cents here and every
where
What good would they do us unless
We had something we could trade by
which we could get one?
Well, we have something to trade;
everybody has.
Some have labor. so much for a dol
lar
Some hare lumber, SO much for
dollar
Some have sugar or potatoes or hams
or coal or something else, all SO much
for a dollar.
We have advertising and subscrip-
tons, so much for dollar.
When we want one of those silver
dollars, we cannot go and take it. They
don't belong to us. They belong to
the men who took the silver to the
mint to be coined.
If we took one, it would be stealing.
If we asked for one for nothing. it
would be begging.
If the owners gave us one for moth
ing, it would be a gift.
If we borrowed one, it would cost us
interest, and SO
Most of us, to get one, must trade
labor, lumber, sugar, coal, advertis-
ing or something to get it.
This is absolutely and honestly so,
isn't it.?
Well, being SO, why do we take any
chances on the dollar?
We can get gold now.
1t is worth 100 cents on a dollar
everywhere.
So we have supposed the silver to
be, but
Suppose it isn't.
What then
What is the use of taking q chance
unless we can do better? A silver dol
lar won't be worth more than 100
cents, will it?
We are getting that now
Let we'll enough alone.
Some say duty compels a democrat
to back up and vote for democrat.
You have Bryans word that he is no
democrat. Let him deny that he said
it.
Some say it is pretty bad now. We
might as we'll take a chance. 1t can't
be worse.
What kind of tomfoolery is this?
Are things bad in business way?
Let us tell you something to try.
Vote down this crowd Of regulators.
Tell the world in trumpet tones in
November that we want the best
money, that we will take no other, and
business will revive.
Let the capital out that Bryan and
his followers have scared under cover,
s.nd prosperity will come.-Lumber

ASTONISHING FACTS BROUGHT
TO LIGHT BY A NEWSPAPER
REPORTER.

Prominent Citizens Corruborate Various
Statements Made--Druggists Also In
tervicwed --Many Testimonials as to the
Cures Effected by the Use of Dir. VIII
liams' Pink Pills FOR Pale People.
From the Herald, Clinton, Iowa
For the purpose of thoroughly investi-
eating the merits of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, which have been so widely adver-
tised, reporter was detailed to visit three
towns, taken ct random, between Clinton
and Cedar Rapids Clarence, Stanwood
and Mechanicsville were the places selected
and thither our representative went.
Clarence is a village of seven or eight
hundred people, with two drug stores run
respectively by Geo Smith and w. H.
Blair. Both of these gentlemen spoke
enthusiastically of the Pink Pills
Mr.. Blair said he handled them
extensively, that they had become a
staple article of tradeamcng druggists, and
now he would as soon think of conducting
"A drug business without quinine as Pink
Pills. He then asked if the Herald man
had called on Mrs. Curley, and recommend
ed him to do SO, as hers was looked upon in
Clarence as most remarkable case of
recovery from advanced stomach trou-
BILE. Mrs. Curley toldher story briefly as
follows:
"A year ago the doctors gave me up to
die, with disease of the stomach, and / was
Fery near death. While / was very low
friend persuaded me to try Or. Williams
them After using part of a box | wanted
to give it up, but my people made me keep
on, and before / had used the fourth box |
vas cured"
Mrs. Peter Gortner is another who has
been greatly helped by the Pink Pills. Mr.
Gortner is a retired farmer, and he and his
wife occupy pretty cottage in the south
ern part of town. Mrs Gortncr said
"While my case is not as wonderful as that
of Mrs. Curley, think and know indeed
that Pink Pills have cured me no less truly
My nerves We're weak for many years, and
I suffered greatly as a result. Something
like aSyear ago was affected by stomach
