of the lungs in mild manner at any rate. Ifyou

when we come TO the more serious ailments-nerv-
ous diseases, for instance-the danger Of delay in
getting proper help is times appalling in its
dreadful consequences to the procrastinator There
is, up in Trinity County, a gentleman who has
very decided opinion this point, for, to
colloquialism "he has gone through the MILL 1t
is J. S. Bailey of Weaverville, who was suffering
from a most severe attack of nervous trouble
when he applied to the great specialists at that
wonderful curative establishment-the Hudson
Medical Institute. Mr.. Baiey's opinion on pro-
crastination is clearly expressed in the following
letter. which he has seen fit to write:
weaverville, CAL, August 8, 1893.
Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco, CAL
Gentlemen: L will state that after two
months treatment with you feel fully restored
to health and wish to express my gratitude to

That is short, crisp and true. Every one who
consults these wonderful physicians has the same
sort of praise for them Just listen:
S. NJ Hooker of Los Angeles writes: ~ now feel

Frank Minturn of st. Louis, Mo-: al have not

X. c. Taft of Stowe, Cal writes: 81 am feeling

Truly the amount of testimony Of this nature
which is received at the great "Mecca for all
the sick" would surprise any one. Every mall
brings letters Of thanks and appreciation, and iG
is now unquestioned that for all durable diseases
nowhere is there certain a chance for rapid
and safe cure as the grandest of all.establish-

latter name is more suggestive of comedy
production than was the former, and Mr..
Royle has decided to present it under that
title, as it is a romantic comedy and not a
heavy drama, as the title "Mexico" would
suggest The piece is founded on the war

BROTHER MoRFoRD of the Herald is about out of line with his past Then he ssks: "Csn any Democrat, or ary Populist or any popoerst tell the peo- pie in what respect the free coinage Of the silver of the world by our govern ment mints would be of advantage to the silver mines of the United States; or in what respect it would be of ben eft to the business interests of the United Ststes?" Stop all thy whims and read your past indictment on sil yer in the Herald, until recently, and if thee don't shed the goggles like unto Peter who witnessed the scales fall until he saw clearly that his life work should be for the people and not against them, we are mistaken. We say to thee as thou hath oft said be- fore, that the free coinage of silver would bring prosperity to the whole of these United States. The miner and the farmer, the mechanic and labo,er the manufacturer aud the merchant would whoop with joy. The whole people of these United States would sing peons of the good times at hand and coming. Take back what theu hath said, brother, before the people condemn thee and cast thee aside.

For your Protection. Catarrh "Cures" =

For your ProtectiOn.-Cstarh "Cures" = Ponies for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken internally, usually contain either Mercury or Iodide of Potassa. or both, which are injur- ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not . blood disease. caused by sudden change to cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat. Cold in the head causes excessive flow of mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re- suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in the head, rearing sound in the ears, bad breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis charge. The eremedy should be quick to allay inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for these troubles and contains no mercury nsr any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents

nephew, X. w. Cowelsha, were badly hurt.
The former was the most seriously in
Jured, his face, head and hands being
chopped almost to bits by the broken
glass.
John Corcoran and Ernest Cannon, two
boys, were also badly cut about the face
and hands; w. 4. Brandeweide, COM
positor, was cut about the head and badly
bruised about the body; f. f. Whtlock,
foreman of gang of men in the Excelsior

Annie Bell, a colored servant. and Web.
ster, Walter John and Hinton Hi5bard
whose ages range from to Il years, es
capped by jumping from second story
window. Annie Bell suffered fracture OF
one ankle, and Walter Hubbard sprainei
one of his ankles. The others are not in
jured. The fire probably resulted from an
explosion of natural gas. though the fact:
as to the origin will probably never be
known. The house is not badly burned
hut the interior woodwork is all scorched
Probably the gas in the furnace, which
was turned low, tlickered out and Their the
whole house was gradually filled with gas
When the air was sufficiently charged
with gas it ignited from IL burning Jet
There does not seem to have been much
explosive force, however, as the walls art
not shattered in the least.
The boys were awakened by the smoke
and rushed out of their room. They flee
through hall to landing on a back
stairway, where four jumped through /;
window to the ground. Allen, i-ycar-old
could not, it would seem, climb up to the
window sill. The boys called to him tc
jump. He ran back into the hall, met hi:
father, mother and the two guests and
four of them-father and the two guests
and Allen-ran into the room from which
the servant had jumped to the ground
Mrs. Hubbard evidently went back to the
guest room to get her little girl from /;
crib as the mother was found dead in tn.
hall faced toward her child and not sai
from it.
Mr.. Hubbard, the two guests and Aller
died right under the window from which
the servant jumped. They were ei:hel
suffOcated and unable to jump by the time
they got there. or the ladies were afraid to
jump, and Hubbard gallantly persisted
with them while doing his utmost to saw,
them. The two ladies had bedclothine
about their heads rs "a defense against
smoke. Had they known the boys were
out of the building the adults might have
jumped from their front bedroom win
dows but the frantic cries of Allen in tn,
hall no doubt led the adults in that dircc
ton.
