Sl0O Reward, Sl0O.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages and that is catarrh. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation OF the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars tor any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.

 The Governor has not yet decided what organization shall be admitted to the Eighth Regiment. to fill the vacancy land company. Numerous dispatches ten- dering men were received at State head quarters last evening: Some companies are pleading. for permission to get in. It Is thought that the contest for admission Is narrowed down to four comhpanies. The Napa company stands good chance Of to muster In company, from Nevada City. In the exercise of his judgment he may not accept either, because Oakland and Sacramento stand ready to supply the needed troops for the regiment. In the acceptance of men the Governor, so far, has given the National Guard every thing. Organizations outside of the guard have not been considered In view of this fact, there is a widespread feeling that other volunteers should be recognized.
 Although not announced officially yet it is intimated very absolutely by those in a position to know that the Santa Cruz company will take the place in the Eighth Army Corps of the Woodland company, which refused to be mustered into the United States service.
 The Governor and adjutant general re- gard Captain Lyons as an officer of ex- ceptional ability and experience. His rec ord in the National Guard is without a blemish.

 It is to be regretted after all that Cali fornia has done to prove her loyalty to the country that the men of one company should faiter and murmur because the appointment of their officers was not sat isfactory to them. It was hoped that the volunteers from Yolo County would cast aside their personal preferences and stand by the country first, last and all the time. Bad influences counseled the men to a mutinous course, and a com pany which might have gained honor and distinction at the front now remains at home to face the charge of disloyalty which has been placed on the record of the organization.

He spoke in terms of warmest praise of Captain Smith and his loyalty In counciling his men to be true soldiers, and said that while he regretted to enter the service without their old captain. he felt it duty they owed themselves, their home, their State. and above all their country, to do so.
 Major Forbes who is well known and liked among the northern boys, pointed out to them their path of duty, and then Captain Smith stepped forward and again urged them, as he had, done repeatedly during the day, to forget him and remember only the flag. Lieutenant Es- tep told of his visit to the Governor and intimated that Captain Smith would go to the front with the. regiment. Corporal Knowton urged the men to enter the service. and then Lieutenant Reynolds, who failed to get commission, bade the boys a formal good-by after requesting them to enter the United States service.
