"a Suggestion.

Eds. Record Union: Can't you per-
suade some of the slow-going public in
Placer County to awake, open their
eyes and see the chance they have of
booming their orange lands? While the
ice palace is in existence, let the county
seat get up an orange and flower exhi-
bition. Both places would be visited
by thousands. 1t would show to adj
vantage what our Sacramento Valley
is-that it is a valley of mild weather
ir winter, with oranges and flowers and
ar ice palace on the side dish.

PASSED AWAY.
George F. Bronner Crossed the Dark
River Yesterday.

OSorge r. Bronners Crossed the Dark
River Yesterday.
George F. Bronner, who has been con-
fined to his home for the past few days,
passed away yesterday at the age of "a.
The immediate cause of his death
was heart failure, although for some
time ne has been breaking. Perhaps no
man IN Sacramento was better known
than George Bronner. Coming here in
1904, ne was employed at first by DR..
Morse He then was employed by Wells,
Fargo q Co, and drove their coin wagon
Tor many years. After leaving them.
ne started in the grocery business at
Tenth and J streets, the firm name be-
Ing Hedrick & Bronner. After several
changes in the partnership he sold out
20 w. E. Gerber and started a grocery
at Fifteenth and L streets, where he
remained in business till a few years
ago, when he retired.
Although a Democrat in politics, he
was several times elected Public Ad-
ministrator, although the county was
strongly Republican.
Made a Mason in 1853 in Norwalk,
Ohio, after coming here he affiliated
with Tehama Lodge, No 8, F. and A
M, and Sacramento Chapter, No. 3, r.
A c., retaining his membership until
his death. He also belonged to Sacra-
mento Council, No. 1, Royal and Select
Masters, and Sacramento Commandery,
No. 2, Knights Templar Being born on
February 29th, Notwithstanding his
age, he had only celebrated sixteen
birthdays.
Mr.. Bronner was man of strict in
tegrity and one in whom the people had
confidence, as shown by his reelection
several times over strong men of the
popular party. He was a good husband
and father and his death will be re-
gretted by many. He had a large fam
ily of sons and daughters, most of
whom as well as his wife, survive him

BUSINESS WORLD.
Dun's Report Says No Changes Expected
Until After New Year.

New York, Dec. 19.-R. G.. Dun e. Co.,
In their weekly review of trade, say:
The holiday trade is generally large.
though at some points more confined to
cheap goods than usual, and the in
fluence of an increase i'm the working
force is felt In other ways. But until the
new year the only material changes ex-
pected are such as prepare for large
business next year. In the iron and
steel industry these appear Of the ut
most imp ortance.
Since events for some months TO come
will turn largely on the state of foreign
trade, 1t is cheering that produce ex-
ports In November were sl09 091. .937 In
value, amounting for three months to
1907, ,749, 577, more than double the value
OF imports, which was s151 1861, ,351.
Exports OF cotton are naturally stim-
ulated by lower prices, and with forced
liquidation OF important speculative op-
erations. cotton has declined to LIP. re-
covering to 7.19 cents. July Is, the price
was 7.O6; short crop stories raised II TO
S.S7 Sept. 10. and it has now gone back
about to the starting point. Receipts
from plantations continue heavy. while
commercial stocks here and abroad are
only about as large as year ago, when
the movement had been 100000 bales
less. The demand for goods in this coun-
try falls below the increased production,
and the market Is weak in tone, with
prices Of some jobbers' bleached goods
sharply reduced. Speculation in wool
has halted, sales for the week being
2,72l, 200 pounds, against 51S0,000 last
year, and 5.65l, 400 in 1892, and conces-
sions are more frequent, Ohio AK sell
ing at 10. against 20 cents recently. The
demand for goods seems to have been
postponed until after the holidays.
The billet pool has practically dis
solved, and sales are reported at SIG to
81, with contracts to supply customers
through most cr whole of next year.
The beam pool has revived and restored
the price to s155. but nails and steel
bars are a shade lower. Bessemer pig
and grey forge are a shade lower at
Pittsburg. Virginia and Alabama iron
are offered 20 cents lower at the east,
and with so much uncertainty regard
ing great changes in progress, very lit.
tie is done in finished products, and gen.
orally at concessions. A sale OF 3,000,-
Geo pounds lake copper is reported at
ing, with contracts reported at $1b0.
The boot and shoe industry is near the
end of orders, receiving scarcely any at
advances asked, but eastern shipments
are still large
Wheat rose about 2 cents Monday.
but declined still further, and closed IN

exports for three weeks have been, flour
included, 921 ,144 bushels, against 5,907.-
S24 last year. November exports, -four
included. were 15,S35, 1876 bushels, against
i .3S2, ,140 last year. For three months
exports OF cotton and breadstsffs only
have about equalled the total value of
all imports.

Puritana Patients
Why TheyTa AXE
Puritana.
WHY THEY GET WELL.

The proof does it.
That is Why people begin to take
Puritana.
People find that their neighbors
have tried it.
Their friends have tried it.
Men and women in every walk Of
life have tried it.
A man suffers.
Perhaps he has suffered for years.
He has tried many things.
They have all failed.
He reads a Puritana testimonial.
He reads another.
He sees new ones wherever he
looks.
Some of the writer's are in his own
town.
Some in his own business.
Some he can see.
Some he can write to.
Some have been cured of his own
ailinent.
Some of other ailments.
All are grateful.
All are glad to tell suffering people
how Puritara gave them relief.
They are approachable folks, and
their voluntary testimonials count
Some live ih town.
Some in the country. e,sg
Som hold Office. s.E
Some vote.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-12-19

But al1 ore honest and sincere.
That is why any one can prove for
himself the genuineness of Puritana
cures.
Puritana patients get well.
This is a fact.
There are reasons for it.
Puritana is the discovery Of Prof.
Dixi Crosby.
wasthe greatest New Hampshire
physician of his day
He was at the head of the Dart
mouth Medical College for a genera
ton.
He used common sense. and found
that disease or health came to the
body through the stomach.
He scientifically compounded a
stomach r'edicine from the harmless
products of nature.
This is Puritana.
It makes the stomach right.
That is why it makes the health
right.
With a sound stomach 10 one can
help being well.
That is why Puritana patients get
well.
Chemists saythat Puritanais is a good
medicine.
They also say it is we'll made.
The materials are the purest and
best that money can buy.
