the powder and then the wadding and
lastly the bullet, and the Indians saw
him do it. He handed each as he load
ed it to one of the savages. Suddenly
one of them without warning fired at
him. Zanoni, without appearing to
have noticed him. raised his hand and
seemed to catch a bullet from his fore
head He tossed it toward the Indian
who had fired at him. The red man
picked it up with an air of stupefac-
ton, but instantly his stolid features
assumed as much a look of supersti-
tious fear and horror as an Indians
face may be supposed to be capable of
expressing, for the bullet of lead had
suddenly melted in his hand and be-
came a dot of gore. He waved his
blood dripping hand above his head,
shouting: Medicine. Medicine! Heap
medicine," Meanwhile the conjurer
had the rest fire and six reports rang
out in quick succession. Zanoni took
off his hat and showed it to the Indians,
who, to their amazement, beheld their
six bullets in the hat.
To the unsophisticated eyes of the saw
ages those large pistols were more
orthodox weapons than the more mod

pected, they We're really the more COM

LADIES,

Wouldn't it be far to your advantage
and much easier to do shopping if
you could take a promenade down j
street and find every store COR building)
vacant and the same on K street, with
the exception of one store all thrown
into one built large enough to carry
all the goods in Sacramento? Only
think how nice it would be, and you
would have lots of money to spend and
live fine. Husbands out of work and
children barefooted This you would
call progress, and this big store would
be working for the dear people, look
ing after their interests. Oh, my, How
nice it would be-" and how kind this
merchant would be.
Now, We believe in distributing trade
and patronizing other stores that sell
cheaper even if their stores are not
as large. Our little hole in the wall
on street, we would call your at
tention to our show window with many
goods ticketed their selling price. See
them, and answer yes or no whether
you ever saw such values before. We
quote few, for we know that we are
selling more millinery and at a far less
price than any other store in the city.
We know We sell anything in our line
at a less price than any other house in
Sacramento. We do not only do it
now but we have always sold the same
quality of goods less
The month of May has brought Mil
linery down Our prices are for our
May purchases, as our early spring
stock is all sold out. G. H. G..

They sprang upon their ponies, and
away they went, urging their steeds to

they went, a swift meteor of fire pre-

an incandescence visible in its excess
sive brightness even in daylight, burst
into a shower of innumerable fiery SER

who dashed their ponies to a still mad

Instantly the men of his party arose

unmolested.
Nothing more was seen of the In
dams. ''They won't dare to pursue us, :"
said Zanoni, confidently. They will
have a story to tell their tribe that will
be the wonder of the savages for many
a long year to come.
The coniurer was right. Not only did
they not pursue us, but all the remain

ish "Inspiration."

Habsna, May 81 W J. Calhoun,
the United States commissioner, who
is investigating the death in the
prison at Gunabacoa of DR. Ricardo
Ruiz, naturaiized American. was
interviewed to-day with reference to
the article in The Diaric &c la Marina
making an indirect attack upon the
commissioner by criticising articles
which have appeared in Washing
ton newspaper over the signature of
Mr. Pepper, who accom- panied Mr
Calhoun to Cuba.
Mr.. Calhoun said: "Mr. Pepper
is in no way connected with the COM
mission On the contrary, he came
TO Habana on his own account, as
other correspondents might have
come. No secrets of the com mission
have been divu!ged, nor has any
special information been supplied to
him which was not obtainable by
other correspondents suppose MIR
Peppers information was gathered
from personal information or from
hearsay -
6 W. Fishback, the secretary of
Mr.. Calhoun, was also interviewed
and expressed opinions similar to
those of the commissioner
General Lee, the United States
consul general, disclaims exercising
an. influence over newspaper reports
sent from Habana to the United
States and resents she insinuation of
The Diaro de la Marina that resident
American correspondents draw their
information from him
Mr.. Pepper says he is much amused
by the attack of The Diario de la Ma.
rlna He returned last night from
Guanajay. where, accompanied by
Mr.. Fishback, he had been on visit
yesterday. He says his trip was
highly interesting While return
ing to this city, the Car in which ne
was travelling was derailed by rail-

escaped without injury.
