Allie ConnOrs came very near learn
ing what the law was, yesterday morn
ing, and in fact was given slight
taste, but as it was the first time that
he had encountered the mighty force
which maintains right and order
throughout the land, it's touch was Il
light one, yet firm withal. Allie is n
lad of perhaps 1G summers, and on
Wednesday evening. probably i'm the
exuberance of youth, he kicked hole,
so it was alleged, in the back window
of the Chinese laundry. opposite the
Journal building. Chin Hung. the pro-
prietor, is an Industrious Chinaman,
and attends strictly to his own business
and very naturally objected to having
the peace and quiet of his home dis
turbed in such an unseemly way. He
hires his room of H. r. Randall. and,
yesterday morning. complained to that
gentleman. AS a result thereof, Allie
went over the river to see the judge of
the municipal court. He was not in
clined to admit breaking the window.
but Chin allowed that he saw the boy
do it, as he was within 10 feet of him
at the time. and Chin's word went. At
the close of the interview Allie was
placed upon probation on agreeing to
fix up the matter with Mr.. Randall.

AUGUSTA, AND GEO. W. DORR,
WATERFALLS.
Mi-o-na Costs You Nothing If 1t Does
Not Cure.

To the Editor Of the Journal: .--
The unusual statements in the adj
vertisemcnts We have published for
Mi-o-na have led some people to ask
if we really mean all that we say
in regard to this preparation. The
best reply we can make is to publish
over our signature n statement of what
Mi-O-na will do and the unusual terms
under which we are selling it.
1. Nine-tenths of all sickness is
caused by some kind Of indigestion.
AS Mi-o-na cures indigestion in any
form and restores healthy action to
the whole digestive tract, it will cure
nearly every case Of poor health.
2. The dyspeptic is ordinarily thin
and emaciated, with sallow complex
ion, sunken cheeks and nabby flesh.
Mi-o-na will cure dyspepsia and those
who use it will find every part Of the
body filling out with firm, solid flesh.
so that all the outlines become plump
and pleasing.
5. The strongest evidence that We
can give of our faith in Mi-o-na is our
personal agreement to refund the
money if it does not give satisfaction.
Although we have sold hundreds of
packages under this guarantee, yet
less than one out of every hundred
has asked to have the money returned.
We are always ready to refund the cost
of Mi-o-na, Soc, to anyone who is not
satisfied with it on return of the empty
box. Respectfully yours,
Bowditch & Webster,
Percy w. Means. Augusta,
Geo. w. DOrr, Waterville.

and that after he had secured the
liquor, they arrested him and confined
him in the police station until Wednes-
day morning. when he was brought be-
fore the municipal court on the charge
of single sale. on which occasion the
court ruled that they had no case. as
Martin had simply acted as their
agent, and he was accordingly dis
charged. Yesterday forenoon. Martin.

An interesting review of land opera
lions in Korea develops the fact that,
in addition to the armies that face one

Japan have large, forces advancing

and the latter advancing northward
from a point of debarkation OIL the east

Besides her Korean armies. japan has
landed many troops off the coast of Lao.

timately proceed to attempt the capture
of Newchwang, and an entire army
corps is stationed at japanese seaports

Investor SHES at Reno.

In a communication to the Reno
Journal the Rev. A. @. WEIGH, pastor
of the NJ. E. Church in Reno, says that
a representative citizen Of that town
asked him these questions: "Does it pay
to have a wide open town? Does the
gambling and saloon business, after all,
build up a cityf" Then as if to answer
his own questions the gentleman told
Mr.. WEIGH that a party representing a
very large estate was in Reno last week
looking ove the ground, for the pur.
pose of finding a place to invest for the
estate a large sum of money. He "took
in the sights" saw a ''wide open
town." and went away, saying that he
had concluded that because of these
things he felt Reno was not a safe place
to invest money.

Gould and the Western Pacific.

A Denver dispatch says the Mexican
Government has granted to David H.
Moffat, builder of the Denver, North
western g. Pacific Railroad from Denver
to Salt Lake City, and a group of CAPT.
talists associated with him, including
George Gould. a concession for a rail-
road 1900 miles long to be built entirely
in that republic. The point Of special
interest to Nevada in this item of rail-
road news is the association of Gould
with the Moffat railroad interests and
the connection of the latter with the
Western Pacific, which is preparing to
build a line from San Francisco to Salt
Lake City. Many months ago it was
asserted that the Denver, Northwestern
& Pacific road and the Western Pacific
were to constitute links in the Gould
transcontinental system.

BRITT REFUSES RENO'S BID.
Declines to Consider $500 House
Guaranteed by a Nevada Club.

VA w W
A plan to organize the Sagebrush
Athletic Club and bring off a great
fstic carnival at Reno on the Fourth OF
July was started early in the week and
the following message was sent to San
Francisco:
Reno, New, March ga number of
the most prominent business and sport
ing men of Reno stand ready to guaran-
tee a purse of s25. 900 for a finish fight
between Jimmy Britt and Young Cor
bett in this city on the Fourth of July.
A message was also mailed making a
bona fide offer to Britt and Corbett for
a finish fight. The plan of the Nevada
club also included a $4,000 purse for
George Gardner and Fitzsimmons or
some other light heavyweight, and a
5000 purse for Joe Cans and some as
pirant for lightweight honors.
The managers for Britt have declined
to consider the proposition of holding
the next mill at Reno. They do not
see why they should come to Nevada
for a $25, 900 house when they can draw
a $50, 900 house in San Francisco and
have to turn away hundreds who were
unable even to purchase tickets.
