NEURALGIA, CATARRR AND RHEUMA.
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.

George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that P. P. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried p. P. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that P. p. p. will not make
a total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, P. P. P, Lippmans Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. P, Lippman's Great Remedy.
Ladies, take P. P. P. and rid your
face of pimples, blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.

Mr.. George Briggs, of Moore, Okla,
suffered almost indescribable torment
for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tanned. Read the following extract

A CARELESS FELLOW
Recklessly Shoots Small Boy in the
Back

Alden, the 12-year- boy of Alden
Peasley, of the Troy laundry who lives
at 1881 West Thirtieth street, was shot
in the back few days ago by a stray
bullet and is now lying at his home in a
dangerous condition as a result OF the
wound. Thus far all efforts on the part
of the physicians to locate the bullet
have been unsuccessful. 1t is supposed
to be a 22-calibre rifle ball.
The accident occurred on Santa Mon
lea avenue. The boy was walking along
in company with another lad of his own
age, when the bullet struck him. They
did not see anyone and do not know who
fired the shot.
The residents in the neighborhood of
where the accident occurred complain
Of the reckless shooting which has been
going on for some time. There are sew
eral boys who practice shooting at a
target with a % calibre rifle and their
bullets have caused a great deal of an
noyance by the promiscuous manner in
which they have sent their bullets whiz-
zing about peoples heads.

BENEATH THE WHEELS
A Young Man Hurt by a University
Can

Chouteau Captain, young man living
at 1881 South Flower street, had his foot
badly crushed by University car near
Pico street yesterday afternoon. Capt.
tan attempted to get on the car while
it was moving rapidly AS it came by he
grabbed for the uprights along the side
and missed his hold. He was thrown
under the trucks and his left foot ground
beneath the wheels. The car was
brought up as quickly as possible after
he had been dragged several feet. His
foot had become wedged beneath the
wheels in such a manner that it took
twenty minutes to get him out, and then
the car had to be lifted up.
The patrol wagon was sent after, but
by the time it reached the scene the
young mans mother had arrived and
asked to have her son taken home, which
was only half block away. Physicians
were summoned and it is not yet known
whether an amputation will be neces-
sary or not.
Car No. 127 is the one by which Capt.
tan was hurt. No blame is attached to
the train crew, as the accident would not
have occurred If the young man had
waited for the car to stop.

NEEDLESS AGITATION
Pomona Sees Bears Instead of Pros
pective Trade

An agitated dispatch from Pomona
under date of August to morning
contemporary apprehends various kinds
OF calamity from the alleged fact that
"a systematic effort is being made TO
break down the olive market by several
eastern buyers, who have been in this
field for several days"
That Pomona's gentle heart may be
eased of its apprehenslons, and her
nerves quieted, be it known that there
have been no olive or other bears in her
vicinity that mean her harm. James Hill,
Sons & Co. state with commendable
frankness that he is the guilty party
who has been all about through the
Pomona olive district on tour of in
spection with the sole idea and desire
of buying olives at normal prices to
make an article that is sought for by
eastern buyers. Mr.. Hill claims interest
in neither bulls nor bears, just the ad.
vancement and progression of trade.

he believed many articles produced here
to be superior to similar articles now i'm
ported from the east and Europe, and
that he had instructed the treasurer of
the home to communicate directly with
Mr.. Zeehandelaar The treasurer's
communication arrived by the same mail,
stating that bids would be asked for in
about three weeks, that one of the
blanks for bids would be sent to the
home products committee and that so
far as possible home production should
be favored, but that those goods must
come to a certain established standard
for them to be eligible.

City Hall Notes

There was a swarm of people before
the board Of equalization yesterday
morning. The recent notices sent GU
by the board to the effect that protest:
and appeals must be made in person
accounted for the increased attendance
No large reductions were asked for, tn:
property represented being in the mai-
of the middle variety. Today the boari
will act on the City Water company's
appeal The water company demands
4 reduction from $500, 900 to 800, 600. Last
year the property was assessed at $4,000
and big cut is not an improba BILE re-
suit of today's action by the board. L
is said that the cut asked for will reach
$500, ,O00 but the statements are mere
guesses.
The larger reductions made yesterday
were as follows: d. Botiller, from $2500
to $1,000, on improvements; w. Pardee,
four lots in Owens & Scott's subdivision.
reudced from $1795 to $1,000; Miss Kate
Wallace, from $3.50 to $500, on lots, and
s100 cut for improvements assessed at
$500; Isabella H. Huber, cancellation of
$1,000 for an erroneous assessment.
Nolan & Smiths demand for a deduc-
ton on property at Second and Broad
way was denied. The firm desired a
cut from $32, ,140 to $2S,000, and from
$4,000 to $4,000 on Improvements.
Today the Vernon district, recently
annexed, will make appeals, and spe-
cial attention will be given them. On
Tuesday the Harper tract Rosedale and
Pico Heights annexations will be heard.
The board desires the people in those
districts to be prompt in making their
appearance.
Chairman Silver instructed the asses
sor to notify about 500 people to appear
before the board and show cause why
they should not pay certain assessments.
The necessity of such instruction is ap-
parent when the fact is made known
that the assessor made large number
Of what is known as lump" assess
ments. That is, that people who owned
several lots adjoining one another were
assessed on the whole number instead
of being assessed separately for each lot.
