THE TABLES TURNED
A Plaintiff in Chinese Case Becomes
Defendant

A Chinese case in Justice Morrison's
court had rather peculiar ending yes
terday. Several days ago Jueng Jong
was arrested on complaint of another
Celestial, Chin Du by name, who claimed
that Jong had assaulted him with a
deadly weapon. 1t was shown in court
that Chin went into Jong's place to
collect a rent bill of two dollars which
he claimed was due" him. The other
Chinaman denied the debt. At this
Chin grew boisterous and pulled out
big knife evidently intending to draw
and quarter his delinquent debtor Jong
objected to being carved up without at
least making a show of resistance and
he pulled a gun from his pocket and be-
gan firing at his assailant. One of the
bullets took effect III Chin's hand, pass
ing through it. The injured Chinaman
felt that he had got the worst Of it and
decided to get even in the courts. Ac-
cordingly he swore out a complaint
charging Jong with assault with dead
ly weapon.
When it was shown that the COM
plainant was really the aggressor. JUS
tice Morrison proceeded no further with
the case, but dismissed the complaint
and discharged the prisoner. A COM
plant was then issued against Chin for
disturbing the peace. and he evidently
thought that the best thing for him to
do was to plead guilty, which he did.
He will be sentenced on this charge
today.

quet to be given Mr.. Bryan by the club
a Hazards pavilion on the evening of
July 5th. In few days those who have
accepted invitations can call at head
quarters and their wishes in regard to

There were moro reservations of seats

club opened headquarters.
a letter received yesterday from Will
liam p. Lawlor of San Francisco, the
secretary of the silver campaign COM
mittee of California, announces that he
will attend the banquet if he possibly
can. In speaking of the work done in
this part of the state by the Silver Re-
publican club last fall, Mr.. Lawlor said:
Il retain a lively recollection of your
successful activity during the late cam
paign and appreciate, perhaps as fully
as any person not a resident of your
section how important your work was.
If the interior of the state had done any,
where near as we'll McKinleyism, with
its allied evils, would have received
rebuke in keeping with the best inter-
ests of the people,
Mayor James d. Phelan of San Fran
cisco will be here during Mr.. Bryan's
stay. Mr.. Phelan is one of the warmest
advocates of bimetallism on the coast

Making q Regular Crusade

There IS great deal Of specu g.
ton in certain quarters as to the
probable action of the council in the
matter of the exhibition of the vera
scope pictures of the Corbett- Fitzssm-
mons fight in this city. AS has been
published, the w. c. r. Z. has alreadw
filed petition to the council, asking
that the exhibition be suppressed
promptly should it be attempted on the
ground that such an exhibition would
have debasing influence and exercise
a bad effect on the young men and boys,
who would undoubtedly rush to see it,
But they have not stopped here. Some
OF the ce'u cilmen have already been
personally solicited to use their infu-
ence against it, and il is said that a
regular crusade VIII be made against
the exhibition. Those who are at the
head of the opposition argue that it is
much better to have the ordinance pass
ed before the exhibition is attempted. as
by its adoption notice will be served on
the promoters of the enterprise that it
IS not wanted, and if they then come to
Los Angeles it Will be at their own risk.
and they can have no good cause for
complaint at the enforcement Of the
law.

FOURTH OF JULY
Preparations for the Celebration
Making Good Progress

The executive committee of the Fourth
of July committee is making good pro-
gress with the work of perfecting plans
for fitting celebra tion of Independence
day. At the meeting of the committee
| last night a telegram was read from
Attorney General w. f. Fitzgerald, in
which he announced that he would ac-
cept the invitation of the committee to
act as orator, and one from eX-Gov-
ernor of Illinois John S. Beveridge, ac-
cepting the position of president of the
day.
Simpson tabernacle has been secured
for the afternoon and evening of July
5th and the literary program will be
given in that building, which will be
appropriately decorated for the occa-
sion. Grand Marshal N A. Covarru
bias has invited fifty gentlemen to act
as division and special aids on his staff.
He has in addition extended invitations
to every civic and military organization
in this county asking that they cooper
ate with the committee.
Treasurer Siegel reported that the spe-
cial committee composed of Abe Jacoby,
w. A. Hamburger, Simon Maier and N.
B. Blackstone had handed him $3.50 cash
Spring street from Temple to First
street. In addition, he had secured
check for $50 from Adolf & Hauerwaas
as a voluntary contribution from that
firm. An active canvass of the business
center is being made, and will continue
during the coming week. From present
indications the size of the celebration
fund will meet eXpectations,as as the inter-
est is growing. Secretary Pessell was
instructed to ask the Jonathan club of
this city to furnish an escort for the
president and orator of the day, and it
is hoped that a ready compliance will
follow.
Robert Owens. chairman of the COL
ored citizens special committee, has
mapped out a program that will eclips.
all previous efforts in the line of parade
effects. This division will include the
Pasadena uniformed marching club, the
various civic societies, and, as a star
feature, an exact representation of the
monument erected by the national
league to the memory of the colored cit
izens who fell in defense, of the country
during the war of the revolution. This
and no expense will be spared to make
it perfect in outline and detail.
The headquarters are now open from
a. m. to p. m, and all representatives
of societies and patriotic citizens are re-
Quested to meet with the committee,
who will gladly welcome and if possible
act upon such suggestions as may b.
offered.

WYOMING, WISCONSIN, June 9th, 1896.
DR.. Williams Ned. Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
Gentlemen Replying to your favor OF
recent date, called ON Mrs. Jane Culver,
Of Wyoming, Wis, yesterday. had heard
much about her case before I went to see
her. She has so long been regarded by her
family and all her neighbors as hopeless
invalid that her present state of health is
nothing less than marvel in this (Wyom-
ing) valley.
For more than a year past, and up to the
month of March last Mrs. Culver had lain
actually at the point of death. Her neigh
bors and friends expected daily to be called
upon to perform the "last sad offices for
her, and when they learned that she had
actually arisen from her bed and could sit
up" it was felt that little less than resur-
rection had happened in their midst.
Yet imagine the astonishment when a
week or two later it was announced in the
valley" that she could acalk, and when
she was, at last, really able to meet and
shake hands with friends in the door, yard
or upon the street, it was felt that truly
miracle had been wrought in their midst.
found Mrs. Culver, pleasant faced, at
tractive little woman, about her household
work when I called on June 9th. She was,
in fact, picking over gooseberries, and her
first remark after greeting was that in all her
ffty-eisht years she could not recall so
"early" season for fruit and garden stuff
as the present. She talked freely of her long,
sod illness-the dreary track of pain and
weakness over which for twenty years her
body had been racked, and told with eviden.
happiness of her wonderful cure. "The truth
is" she said, "I was dead and am alive
again." And there was no lack of enthusiasm
in her voice as she spoke of the sovereign
remedy which had wrought such wonder
work for her. She was surrounded by the
members of her family, her husband daughter
and grandchildren, and Pink Pills was GER
tainly the burden of their happy conversa-
ton during my visit.
But her cure after all, is best summed up
in her own simple and succinct statement,
which she made in the hope of doing good
to others.
Mrs. Culver is woman Of education and
refinement. Her husband was postmaster
at Wyoming during President Harrison's
administration. Among those of their
neighbors who can further attest the facts in
her case are the present postmaster and his
wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Dunstan, Mr..
and Mrs. C. w. Parks Mr.. and Mrs. Solon
Knickerbocker, and scores of others living
here. in the town and valley of Wyoming.
p. ST. must confess that had an idea
that patent medicine testimonials were mostly
fakes, manufactured in the good -humored
spirit Of humbuggery which delights the
world at large. IN this case which have
looked up myself have found ct the first
trial o. cure so astonishing that have been
afraid to write the facts Just as the actual
history Of the case demanded, have been
truly fearful lest 7 shomId seem to overlo
