PROPERTY HOLDERS, TROUBLES.

Mr.. EDITOR The troubles of prop
erty holders are sometimes more APP
parent than real. For instance, the
other day, as Gervas Ely was saunter-
ing down the street, he was accosted
by one of his tenants, with the query
AZ to "when he was gong to fix that
pump. "Why," said MIR. Ely. cit is
but short time since | did repair it. y
Cant help that, :" said the tenant,
1t won't work now, aud | want il
fixed right away. Do you under
stand ?"
Now everybody knows that Mr.. l..
is good fellow, and is usually very
diplomatic, but you must not under
take to drive him. SO ON this particu
lar occasion he threw diplomacy to
the winds, and informed the tenant
that if he got that pump fixed he
would fix it himself, as he was tired OF
repairing pumps for people to smash,
and away he went up the street, leav-
ing, it is needless to say, the tenant
hot, very hot, in the region of the
collar.
Now, az we said before, Mr.. T.. is IL
good fellow, and he can't stay mad
long at n time :; 10 in the afternoon,
when he met Matt Masterson, who is
also one of his tenants, and also uses
the pump complained of, he had
cooled of perceptibly In the pleas
ATTEST manner possible, he said
Hello, Matt, what is the matter with
that pump down there - Nothing, "
said Matt. "Why, that's strange, .
said Geryas, Sam says ii won't
work. " Neither will any other
pump work, said Matt, @'when there
isn't any water in the cistern. "
Now if any of your readers, Mr..
Editor, have any business in the office
of the Postal Telegraph Company, we
would advise them to keep "mum" ON
the subject of pumps, for Sam under
stands electricity, if he does not
understand pumps, and he might give
them II shock that would be worse in
it's effects than the one he himself had
whom Mr. f., after having seen Matt,
informed him (Sam) that There wns nc
water in the cistern and guessed he
would hive to let Providence fix the
pump. Yours truly,
JISTENING JACK.

with mining camp doctors. with mining
camp hotels, and the result is that Kuhl
has returned to Pennington broken in
spirit, health and pocket.
The experience of Kuhl, disastrous
as it was, failed to depress the cheerful
liar who acts as press agent for the
Klondike, with headquarters at Seattle.
This versatile gentleman took Kuhl in
hand when he arrived at Seattle on his

through the columns Of the newspapers,
that after stay of few months in the
Alaskan gold mines, the lucky Fleming

Last Thursday evening, after the close
Of most of the business places. large
number of citizens, accompanied by the
Cornet Band, called on Hon. N. w. Voor-
bees at his home to congratulate him on
his pleasant birthday IL was a sponta
neous tribute of respect, without prepare
ton or Formally. Perhaps the report
that the members of the Band had (oi
their own motion) quietly planned a
serenade to their bonored fellow citizen,
was the reason for so many joining with
them and going in a body SO it was
indeed an unusual expression OF the gen.
eral esteem which moved So many-per
haps five hundred men and women,
lasses and lads-tO gather without public
notice as they did. Judge Voorhees, cor
daily took the hand of the many who
came forward to express their sincere
pleasure ia the present occasion and the
hope that many more returns of the day
would find him in health among us
After some further excellent music by
the Band, Governor Foster NJ. Voorhees,
who was making his first visit to his faith
er's home since his election responded e
a general call for him-voiced by VIM. ".
johnson. Esq. The Governor spoke AZ

the people of his own native town, assur
ing them that he held most highly theii
good will aud approval, and regretted
that the exacting duties of his Office KEEP
him SO constantly from the scenes he loved
best.
Three hearty cheers we're given for thu
Governor, and he was subjected to th,
hearty hand shaking Of his many ole
friends who were present, while the Banc
completed its delightful serenade, wher
the company separated with three hearty
birthday cheers for Nathaniel w. Voor

A lazy liver may be only tired liver,
or starved liver stick is all right for the
back Of a lazy man But it would be savage
as well as stupid thing to beat weary man

great mistake to lash it with drastic drugs In
ninety-nine cases out Of hundred torpid or
sluggish liver is but symptom Of an i'll
nourished body whose organs are weary with
overwork. Let your liver alone. Start with
the stomach and its allied organs Of digestion
and nutrition. Put them in proper working
order, and see how quickly your liver will be-
come active and energetic. DIR. Pieree's Gold
en- Medical Discovery has made many marvel
GUS cures Of " liver trouble" by its wonderful
control Of the organs of digestion and nutri-

poisonous aceumulations, and so relieves the
liver OF the burdens imposed upon it by the
