Every bottle of Dr. Pferce's world. famed medicines leaving the great labo. ratory at Bntisio. \; Y, has printed entering into its composition. This fact alone places Dr. Pierce's Family Medi- cines tn q cldss du by raSsaselpes. They cannot be classed with patent or secret medicines because they are neither. This Is why 90 many unprejudlced physicians prescribe them and recommend them to their patients. They know what they are composed of, and that the ingredients are those endorsed Oy the most eminent medical authorities.
 The further fact that neither Dr. great stomach tonic, liver invigoratoY, heart regulator and blood purifier. nor his sF3vorits Prescription" for weak, over worked. broken down, nervous women, contains any alcohol, also entities them so a place all by themselves-

Early Days in Phoebe
BY JOSIAH ROBERTSON.

Another remarkable incident that &C.
Cured in our office Immediately after
the Hermese trial in 20 is worthy OF
ecord. 1t has never before been in
fnint.
Honest Uncle Silly Raymond. always
the miners and the poor mans friend,
and i'm character the counterpart OF
Jesse knight Of Provo, was ut the cUun-

clerk for his family at San Jose or

climax and the collapse subsequent tC
the trial.
Apparently Mr.. Raymond and Light
ner had not met for some time before,
and which spoke first we cannot say
now, but we do remember the scathing
and whitening rebuke of Uncle Billy-as
father to his prodigal: Mr.. Lightner,
why did you treat me the way you did,
and which has brought about nearly
my ruin financially. You had all the
salary you asked for, and if you had
wanted more you had only to say so;
but because l would not consent and
let you and other bull and bear the
stock of the Raymond & Ely to the in
jury of the miner and laborers of both
classes in this state and in California
who had invested their saved earnings
in the buying of shares, which, as col
lateral brought them monthly divi-
dends, you have done as you have"
He also reminded him how the mine
had stood squarely on it's merits as a
continuous ore producer and unequalled
dividends. finishing by his denunciatiOn
of Haggin, Tevis and others and the
ungrateful D. H Perley.
Mr.. Lightner responded evasively. but
respectfully: "Well, well. Mr.. Ray
mOnd, it's all over and past now, and
let bygones be bygoneS."
Happening in Bullionville in the fall
of IA, we met Mr.. Raymond, on foot,
north of the American Flag mill, his
coat on his arm, trudging up the hills
toward Phoebe. We jumped into Al
Barber's office. his boOkkeeper and sec
rotary, telling him what we had seen,
and with all speed Al was soon flying
after him with a buggy, picking him up
a mile or so on the road, and carrying
him to Phoebe. Barber told us after
ward that the old man didn't have
enough loose change with him to hire a
rig; too proud to ask for credit, and
that he could save $3.50 by walking, and
Barber had almost to force into the
-millionaire's empty purse the
amount of his stage fare to Palisades
and rail fare to San Francisco.
An evidence of the intricacies of the
Geographic art is worthy of mention.
An economical miner (and they were
not too many of them in those days, for
money nearly rolled down the streets
and it was always going to be sol gave
his order to c. w. Wright, president OF
the State Bank of Phoebe, to buy him

stocks were bought at in the board at
