Mr. Martin Maddux returned from the Oracle yesterday, where he has been re cuperutmg lor several days. The Sunday school and evening ser vice vesterday, at the Congregational church, were both largely attended. Mr. Chas.

Hilderbrandt is hurrying his new house on Alameda street to com pie tion. It will make a desirable residence when completed. The cold waather has caused many sojourners in the mountains during the summer to roll up their blankets and steal away into the valleys. Captain Thomas, assessor of Graham county, returned to Solomonville on Sat urday evening, having been discharged from further attendance at court. Miss Bessie Barnes of San Francisco, who spent last winter with Mrs.

B. M. Jacobfi, will return for another visit with Mrs. Jacobs some time during next month. Mrs.

Dr. Hollowbush returned to the city Saturday, from the Oracle, where she has been stopping several weeks. She was delighted with the splendid surroundings of that pleasant resort. A voung gentleman now stopping at the Palace, who hails from Kentucky, in formed the reporter that he was neither in search of silver, gold, or cattle, nor was he here looking for investment of any kind, but simply on the look out for another lung. It is a fact," that Hood's Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula, salt rheum, and other diseases or affections aming from lm pure state or low condition of the blood.

overcomes that tired feeling, creates a good appetite, and gives strength to very part of the system. Mr. Geo. Y. Payton, now living at Alto, Louisiana, but who was formerly a resident of Arizona, writes to Sam Drachman that he will return to the west this fall never to leave this Terri lory again.

In his letter he says he has shook with the Louisiana chills until he is so thin that he has to stand twice in one place to make a shadow. Mr. and Mrs. John M. Jonos.

of Globe arrived from the east last night, and are at the Cosmopolitan hotel. Mrs. Jones left for the east early in the spring, and has been visiting relatives and friends since that time. Mr. Jones was a delegate to the National Encampment of the G.

A. at Milwaukee, and left here about the tirst of August. Since then he and Mrs. Jones have visited all the leading cities in the east. Mrs.

Jones is delight ed to again be in Arizona where she can see the sun shine, and feel its warmth They encountered some very cold wea ttier during the last three weeks. At the depot and around the railroad Ehop6, there is increased bustle and ac tivity. Large amounts of freight are being unloaded here for merchants, and the business on the road is double what it was a short time ago. There has been eight new train crews put on the divi sions oeiween td raso and 1 uma since the first of September, and they are all rushed to handle the business. The force in the shops is being gradually in creased, and the outlook is favorable fo: better times with railroad men in Tuc eon than they have seen in Tucson for sometime.

It Might Mean Trouble. From Mr. Maag, who arrived last night from Gila Bend, it is learned that there has been some trouble between Mr. Beatty, a rancher living four miles from Gila Bend, and some of the Maricopa Indians in that vicinity. The Indians having been allowing their cat tie to trespass upon Mr.

Beattv's Dre ra ises, and although frequently notihed to Keep tnsm away they made no effort to so. Ihe cattle were taken ud on Thuisday and turned over to two deputy sheriff's, but just what legal process was taken in the matter was not stated. Anyhow th cattle were being guarded by the ofiicers yesterday when a band of Indians, numbering 18 or 20 came and forcibly drove them away. No fight oc-cured, but there was considerable excitement, and the two deputy sheriffs telegraphed Sheriff Gray, at what had been done, and asked for instructions and a sufficient number of deputies to carry them out The Mari oopas are generally peaceable and when made to properly understand the situation they will probably submit to whatever the law requires. Many serious Indian troubles have arisen, however, irom just such a beginning.

Weir Wound Up. (Herald.) One John Weir, claiming to be a big mine owner in Arizona, has been loading the New York papers with such bosh as this: That a fawar has resulted" over our two sets of officials: "that Democra tic ruffians were determined to make the life of Governor Wolfiey as miserable as possible; that it was almost as much as a man's life was worth to be an active Republican in Arizona; that the majority of Democrats were of the desper-- ado pattern, ready to shoot on the slight est provocation." As soon as these outrageous lies came to Governor Wolfley's ears he wrote to President Harrison as follows: "Executive Department, Office of the Governor. Phf-Nijc, Ariz Sept 20, 1889. To the Prefcidcnt: The enclosed clipping, purporting to be an interview had by Mr. John Weir with you, has ju6t been brought to my attention.

Mr. Weir is a stranger to me, and in no way, shape or form authorized to peak for or represent me or my affairs. The statement purporting to hate been made to you by Mr. Weir that the majority of the Democrats were of the desperado pattern, ready to shoot on the lightest provocation," and nhat it is as much as a man's life is worth to be an active Republican," is absolutely unfounded in fart The Prescott Courier of September 24th, from which I cut this clipping, very correctly states the case. There is no section of the United States where any one and every one is more free to state his political views, or to exercise all his political rights, than in Arizona.

Very respectfully, LEWI3 Wolflet, Governor. THE WHAM ROBBERY. Growing in InterestA Decision From Judge Barnes Creates Much Talk The Grand Jury Discharged' On Saturday when Judge Barnes finished the delivery of his decision on the motion to have the amount of Gilbert Webb's bond increased, the entire crowd, in the court room at the time, drew a long breath, and then commenced buzz. The buzz soon reached the street, and these who have been watching the progress of events in this important case, have talked of but little else since. After a few preliminary remarks, and quoting several sections of law in to admitting defendants, charged with crime, to bail, the Judo said: The same w-l? to this as to other i.ir thy offenso is concerts I.

it le aeriou.4 a crime if It-it had Ivvn taken under the spirit if $30,000 had baen t.t A ho stops mother on the jiibh Iiihv -iy auu lurti by wans of weapons to foiic to vor ovor money, is just as guilty he-traveler has a large sum or has hiiv. In this whoever committed the offense is guilty to the full penalty of the The charge is robbery, and rob-bory is forcibly compelling a person to deliver over his money or other property by means cf foico cr fear; and even if the offender gets no money or property, he i3 just as guilty so far as the moral turpitude or legal responsibility of the act is concerned. Now, the ques tion is as to the suniciency of the amount of the bond. The new constitutions of all the states are extremely careful to state that excessive bail shall not be required. What do the courts mean bv excessive bail? They mean that in all cases, where bail can bo given, the party shall rot bo from giving such bail vr- will secure his presence, that the exacting cf bail i.s r-iL to be used a means of punishment, or do injury or injustice to tho defendant The soie purpose is secure the pres ence cf the party, and in nxmg ta amount of bail no other consideration should be considered.

Hence, tho pro vision to which I refer has been inserted so carefully in there constitutions, and it has Ion? since become apart of the organic Ihv; or trio same principles have been lai 1 down in the United StaUs Statutes, going to the ex tent that even in capital cases bail should ba allowed in the discretion of the judge or magistrate. Now, how discretion to bo exercised. Bail greater than 810,000 has never been been brought to my attention during a practice over 2.1 except it be in the case of a penviri possessing sufficient funds to hip own bail, in whole or half. The court has investigated the question this case, and finds here a man lxrJericg on CO years of age, living on his homestead surround ed by his familv and children, a man whose means do not except! a few thou sana dollars in property wnicn he can not readily convert into cash, or use. ine dooks win not snow a single care where a man hns been required to give over ten thousand dollars under like circumstancos.

In my experience I have found no such case, and I question if any member of the bar present has any case in mind where higher bail has been required of such a person. Of course a man with half a million dollars of his own could give bail in the sum ol a hundred thousand dollars, and under these circumstances I might require it, but in no case has a bond or over 000 been required, except in those casef where the defendant has property and available assets; and whenever that fact is brought to the knowledge of the court the court will act according'. So far as the sufficiency of tho sure ties is concerned I deem it ample. Tlu bond is valid and binding, ami I kno of one of the signers upon it who is surety ujjon a bond for the U. S.

Mar shal for two or three times tho amount. I feel it my duty to add a little more Persons interested in the prosecution of this case, have gone through the district and before parties who have de clared their intention of facts to the judge of the court, hav denounced the judge for approving this bond, and have threatened him with removal. It has been done with the intention that this information should come to the judge of the court It is jk culiar to the tenures of this office in the territories, that any person whatso ever may write a letter to the depart ment of justice, stating whatever falsehood he pleases. Of course the department will net consicer anv such letter On the contrary when a judge of the federal court was threatened with er-sonal violence, the department of -justice authorized and requested the United States marshal to take such steps as he deemed necessary to protect the judge. The act was followed by a homicide and the courts declared it justified, and pu o- lic opinion has approved the action of tho Marshal.

But threats of iersonal violence against anv person amount to but little, comparatively; for however weak a man may be, he can alwavs take snch steps as will enable him to protect himself. But when he is attacked by means of secret letters, and bv threats of removal from office, it is a far more serious menance to the independence of the judiciary. So far as this iudcre is concerned, his days upon this bench are few, and it is a matter of small import to him whether they are few or manv. but so long as he occupies this bench nothing shall deter him from doing what he conceives to be his dutv. I shall enter a rule for the defendant now on bail to show cause next Tues day why his bondsmen should not ac knowledge the bond and justify according to the statute.

In connection with the above. Attorney Ben Goodrich liled the following affidavit which would seem to indi cate that a Republican Marshal was in demand: Territory of Arizona, Cocntt of Graham. 68 Personally appeared before me. Ben M. Crawford, Clerk of the District Court of the First Judicial District of Arizona, in and for said County, Jacob A.

Burns, to me personally known, who being by me hrst dulv sworn on oath. depos-es and says: wl am a resident of Uraham County and am over the age of twenty one years; that on the 2nd dav of July, 1889, C. T. Donovan, Deputy U. b.

Marshal for Arizona Territorv. in company with John Taylor, came up to my nouse in nina viiiatre. said Countv and Territory, when the following conversation in substanco occurred: Donovan asked me if I had written to Mar shal Meade of Tucson to take mv name off of Webbs bond. I told him I had. He said that the Marshal had no riizht to take my name off; that the only way couio get on was to turn ebb over to him.

I told him I did not know I had any right to turn Webb over to him. He asked me if I was worth five thousand dollars. I told hi ra that I was not, and that I did not know that I had to go on the bond. He then read a letter, or copy of a letter, from Tucson, stating how much a man had to be worth to co on the bond. He 6aid that if I or some other bondsmen did no surrender Webb to him and withdraw from the bond, he would go down to Fort Ihomas and swear out warrants against the bondsmen and have them arrested for perjury in signing and swearing to the bond.

He said that Ben Goodrich, at torney for Webb, and Ben M. Crawford, who was with Goodrich to swear the bondsmen, had deceived and lied to the bondsmen to get them to sign it There was some other conversation, but the above is the substance of it all. (Signed J. A. Bubxs.

When Court met this morning, the Grand Jury came into Court "and handed in a report, and the Court then ordered that the jurymen be sworn to answer questions: The Court then asked each juror individually, if they had any knowledge of a dispatch signed by the Grand Jury, or several of them, and sent to the Department of Justice in Washington, criticising the action of the Court All but Mr. Upton stated that they signed a dispatch, which is published elsewhere. The Court then said: "I have no feeling in this matter toward the grand jury, or to ti-t I't nien who signed it, for soie friends of min. The in I--? 1- Th li.LT interi nv. bv which critic; ig tl O.v.

As long as that doubt exists, this Court can not try those cases with the independence which should always belong to tho judiciary. If it be true that where a mere question of bail comes up, immediately the matter must be taken to Washington, there can be no free judicial acts. As far as I am concerned, it does not do me the least bit of harm.

But to those persons in tho Territory who are interested in maintaining justice and order, it is plain that if there cannot be an independent judiciary, no such object can be attained. If such an interference should have oc curred in a Federal court it would be made the subject of most serious actum. The protection and preservation of private property and personal liberty rest on the independence of the courts, and until that independence can be maintained without doubt, you will fail to secure that innovation which you seek after, the inllux of money from abroad. And you are paying too high a rate of interest now. If a man should come here and loan money on mortgage, and the action of the court should Jbe made the subject of a dispatch to Washington, we should have a hard time foreclosing a mortgage.

Until you have a court that is fearless and untrammeled, you cannot havo order. Until it be true that even the meanest and poorest smuggler, punching his burros, bearing his paltry load of mescal, can have justice, we cannot have order. Who would send a dispatch to Washington for the poor smuggler? Who would see that he obtained justice? So long as I remain on this bench, such things will not be considered. The grand jury has nothing to do with such matters. The order of the court will be, that the grand jury be discharged from further services on this court THE TELEGRAM.

The following is a copy of the telegram sent to Washington on Saturday, and is published in full, as several members of that body expressed a desire to be put on record in the matter: Tccson, A. T. Sept 28. Hox. W.

II. Miller, Attorney -Gener al of the United States, Wash ington, D. C. Sir The members of the United States grand Jurv, now investigating the Paymaster Wham robbery cases, have indicted seven or the alleged rob bers. have evidence that other persons took part in the robbery, but not yet sunleient to indict.

hile in tho midst of our investigations, and while the suspected robbers, and their relatives and friends are en deavoring to corruptly influence the government's witnesses to withhold their testimony from this grand jury, one of them having already been indict ed for that offence, the judge of this district, from the beech this morning, on a motion to perfect the bail of the principal defendant in the presence of the Governments witnesses, and crowded court some remarks evincing strong feeling between the court and the officers, and witnesses. The result of the Judge's remarks and manner will be the demoralization of government witnesses soon to appear before the Grand Jury, the suppression of tefetimony invaluable to the United States, and great damage to the interests of good government in this Territory. To avert this calamitv and to serve the ends of justice, we most respectfully ask that one oC the other judges be forth with directed by telegraph to proceed to Tucson to preside over this Court during the deliberations of this Grand Jury and the trial or this case.

Complimentary Dinner. The management and employees of L. Zeckendorf fc gave a dinner to Mr. John Berryman on Saturday night, which was a most pleasant and enjoyable affair. There were 24 plates laid, and all the 'clerks belonging to the large establishment where Mr.

Berryman has faithfully worked for years, were present 3ir. feteinreid, the resident partner was there, and presided at the head of the table. The employes of L. Zeckendorf fc when bunched together, present a fine appearance, and are all business men of experience. Speeches were made by Messrs btemfeld, Berryman, Baum, emer, tr ortugai, in which many nice things were said.

Mr. Berryman was visibly effected by the honor conferred on him by his employes and associates in business, and evidently regretted that the time had come when personal inter ests demanded that he separate from them. The party sat down to dinner at 10:30 p. and? remained at the table nearly three hours, during which time the best to eat and drink to bo had in Tucson was dispatched. Leaving the table, the entire party accompanied Mr.

Berryman to the depot, and bid him good bye and success in his new home Newspaper Enterprise. The special edition of the Phenix Gazette, giving a complete description of Maricopa county and the city of Phenix, has been received. It contains 16 pages, and is illustrated on every page. The work of gathering the vast amount of information contained with in its pages reflects credit on those who had it in charge, and its circulation will prove a benefit to the Salt River Valley, not to be attained by any other means of advertisement lhe mere fact that such a creditable sheet comes from small town, shows that its business men are enterprising, and they have unbound ed faith in the future of their county The publication of this edition of the Gazette must have been without great recompense to the publishers, but it will prove a big Mad" for the paper, as well as for the town and county.

The Ilroom Center of the Country. Growth of a Broom Factory The Trad In Xew York City A Trick of the Trade. There is one industry in the country hi svhich the small capitalists have been able to hold their own against the wealthiest men in it, and that is the industry of broom makicL'. It is a business in which a journeyman of skill and prudence can hope to establish himself, if he wishes, within a very few years after he has learned his traile. The process of broom making is simple, and yet it is such that machinery has never been devised for turning out a completed broom, and, be-i rond to erect such an Permit of cer of an al-nnduuc oi is cr no The Liw.iii iht- is in New York the la establishments aad ihi bet woimen being located iu the Mohawk valley.

The time vr. wiion the a alley was the itc-at hrorm oni rai.Mn'x center of the vmiitry, but the less tmisrh and jti irxzy and inrre sncculent and profitable Cabbage has driven the wavy green tassels of ImKiui corn from the flats which were once their favorite crowing place. It was because of the prolific yield of corn there in former years that the trade of making brooms became so well established. BEOOil FACTOUV. The growth of a broom factory Is interesting.

A young man of economical habits learns the trade, and, having learned it well, is able to do the equivalent of turning out from 100 to 125 oc 150 complete brooms a day. As a matter of fact, in well regulated shops no man makes a complete broom, but only one part of it, but the journeyman having learned his trade well can do enongh work usually at piece prices to earn from $2 to $3 a day. Out of this he ought to savs 500 before starting in trade tor himself. With this sum he can buy enongh machinery (at a cost of $150) and stock set from three to five men at work and keep them going until returns come in from the sales. That is a very modest capital, but since the machinery costs little, men have started on $300, anu even less, and made notable successes as the trade goes.

Second hand tools can be had sometimes for $60 or $80, a couple of bales of corn would cost perhaps $35, SOU handles more, and other supplies $25-, and then the man is ready to set up shop and make all the brooms his neighbors can use, at least. The trade in New York city calls for about 150,000 dozen brooms a year. Th majority of them are made in Amsterdam and other towns along the Mohawk river. Many come from Jorsey, however. The factories are unpretentious wooden buildings.

Steam power in the larger factoriet is used in stitching the broom and in winding the wire around the corn where it is secured to the handle. The largest factory in the business, according to a New York dealer, turns out 1,000 brooms a day, or twice as many as the New York city trade demands. In such a factory a man's work is equivalent to the making of from 200 to 250 brooms a day, according to the quality of the brooms. Of the trade in the corn a dealer said: "The manufacturers buy their corn in the west Kansas corn has the best reputation in this market, but Missouri, Nebraska and Illinois raise a great deaL The crop was very small in Kansas this year, and Illinois did better than any other state. An ordinary crop is 300 to 400 pounds to the acre.

If a fanner gets 500 pounds he pays off some of his mortgage, and when the crop reaches COO pounds he buys a new silk dress for his wife and a piano for his daughter. And yet there is not such a terrible profit in it. It brings all the way from $80 to $160 a ton in New York, the ordinary brooms requiring stock that now sells for from $100 to $120 a ton. It costs $25 a tou to get it here from Kansas and $15 from Illinois. The middle man out there must have his commission, and so must the New York merchant.

If a farmer receives $20 an acre for his crop he is doing well; still that Lt better than wheat at sixty cents a bushel. Er.OOM CORN" IN BALES. "The corn comes to this market in bales averaging 300 pounds each. The corn from the prairies is baled with lath and wire, but some Ohio corn comes here with very lileral chunks of wood to keep the bales from tumbling to pieces." The wood sells at the same price as the corn, if the buyer doesn't notice it. Sometimes the prairie farmer gets even with the Ohio man by dropping a sod or two 'into the unch.

"The corn on the average will make 1,000 brooms to the ton, although iu some fancy brands of extra heavy brooms as much as fifty pounds is used for a dozen brooms. In the parlor brooms sold st the groceries two to two and one-quarter pounds are nned. There is quite an export trade in broom corn in ordinary times and in brooms in other times. With low prices on the corn the corn is shipped, but when the broom makers have a spurt, as they sometimes do, and flood the market, no broom having yet been formed, brooms are sold so low as to enable merchants to send them to Cuba and South America. Very little broom corn is ordinarily sent to Europe, the fields of southern France and of Italy supplying the European market.

"What is the trick in this trade, if there be tricks in all trades?" was asked of a dealer iu broom corn. "It is ir. making poor corn look like good. The best article has a healthy green color, like well cured timothy hay. That color Indicates toughness, with proper flexibility.

The cheap stufT, worth 80 a ton, is of a sickly yeliow or lemon color. Nothing is easier than to give to the yeliow corn a bath in a green as to give it the appearance of first color corn until after it is sold. Manufacturers who use only the uncolored corn assert that the doctored stuff has Pari green iu it, and that when the unfidy housewife takes a broom splint to try her cake or pick her teeth, she is toying with a deadly poison. The men who make the dye say it is a harmless vegetable compound. People who will use broom corn splints for such purposes may, perhaps, be frightened from an untidy habit by fear of poison, but no case has yet been recorded where any one was poisoned by a broom splint.

MEAT AND EVIL FORTUNE OF PAULINE BONAPARTE'S NIECE. VMutiful and Agreeable, She Is Sarrounde4 by tlie Win, the Witty and lhe Power, ful A Great Sorrow Tlutt Came 1 hrtn jb Her Love for tier Little lushter. Never say that one is fortunate till yoo witness the close of his or her life. You must have seen in your diplomatic wanderings in Paris, Turin, Florence. Home and Madrid that worthy niece (in regard to beauty and 60 on) of Pauline Iion parte, Marie Littitia Dona parte- Wyso.

successively, by her marriages, Comtesse de Solms. Signora Rattazzi and Dona de Rul. Was there ever a human betng whose life seemed so rosy as hers, or whom nature hud made more proof to the vexations and troubles which lie heavy on most daughters of Ev? In many re-specLs thisfairofTsIufcitof the afforded 11 aralhl to Cleopatra, who, Mrs. Jameson says, was bewitching to the last liccause she exercised tho sor cery of good nature. Like Cleopatra, Marie parte-Wyse was sparkling, genial, magnificent, of a happy-go-lucky temper and Bohemian, if one looks upon Joiiemianism as emancipation from cant 1 and mind crippling prejudices, some of which.

I own, may have their socia' uses. HER OLTSTS AT THE "FOLLY." She had always in her train tho most eminent men of the different capitals, in which she turned up periodically to shine out for a short time in splendid belongings and surroundings. She also shone as a muse, whoso fingers were never soiled with ink, and who stole from Venus her girdle and cortege of graces. Her house, or palace, or chalet, near Aii, was in the daytime given up to authorship, editorship and preparation 5or festivity, and to elegant revelry in Che evening. The lady of the house when she saw company (and nobody ever knew when she was not seeing it) was in rai znent of dazzling beauty.

But she looked in it and in her wondrous jewelry as pleased as a child in a pretty Sunday frock, and courted admiration in a way that enhanced her sorcery. I never saw Lady Blessington, she hay ing been long before my time. But I fancy that there must have been points cf similarity lietween her Gore house parties and those of the particular great niece of the great Napoleon of whom I peak. A more picturesque or amusing talon than tliat of Mmc. Battazzi de Bute nobody could fancv.

She was constant to old friends, was always recruiting new ones, and was hospitable to all. Old Dumas used to copy manuscripts and help to cook her dinners, which were served on vermeil plate, witli the impe rial crown and eagle engraved on them. A few winters ago 6he entertained four prime ministers, Baron von Beust, De Lesseps, Castelar, and bards from all parts, at a joyous dinner at Trouville. The most roseate phase of her life was at the Hotel d'Aquila, which she afterward sold to Mrs. Mackay's sister.

She was then for three or four years the widow of Sig. llattazzi, and then the bride of a quite youn; Spanish deputy, Don Luis de Bute. The Hotel d'Aquila was a "folly of the uncle of tho of Naples, who ruined himself in build log it, and was fitted up by lime. Bat-tazzi according to her Cleopatran taste for elegant magnificence. The hal! waa surrounded by marble busL and 6tatues of the Bonaparte family, and facing the emperor was one of herself letting fall an armful of roses.

THE SORROW THAT CAME. Don Luis de Bute was a nephew of Rosas, the Spanish liberal, a man of jiany accomplishments, and the undeniable countryman of Don Quixote. If ever a man was held in willing bondage by a woman, he was by his wife, of whom he was the devoted, humble ser vant, never seeking to curtail her libertv or objecting to any of her friends. The glamour she cast upon him when he first taw her as a muse at Madrid, surround by a court of bards and statesmen, never faded from his eyes. She valued his devotion to her and to a beautiful laughter whom six? had had by Battazzi, became deeply in love with him.

Mme. de Bute presented her husband with twins, one of whom died at its birth. The surviving one was called Dolores or "Lola." It seemed a ridicu- kus misnomer. All that was joyous Ind rosy in the mother's life appeared co be incarnate in the child, which vas a paragon of infantile beauty and prc-socious wit and intellect. Dolores be-aune the idol of the household, and was is sunshine Wherever she went.

People ased to say what luck her mother had to be so blessed in her maternity. But ait a Lit. The luck was to bring forth in eternal blight and sorrow upon sorrow. Lola was playing in her mother's rounds at Alx. A horso near which she tin out and kicked her on the orehead.

The child was taken in dead father and mother, with her brains sozing out through a gash. I could not aave conceived the latter broken hcsrtrd tnd utterly had I not seen her. Since this took no interest In anytlupg hut portraits and bust3 of Lcda. which she triod and mode! Voni memory. The De Stite said to me: "The least thing would nv me.

Since Dolores was taken 'ron i 1 feel an old mail, though not ra forty-five. The gashed forehead or he little beauty Is always present ia my jiind. It's a misfortune to liave a ten-ler because heart siuTeri ngs are to excruciating." I sw tke papera that a small thing did carry off this db-inguished and amiable Spaniard, lib caught a cold at Granada, which devcl-)pcd into inflammation of the lungs cnu tilled him. He died with a cross in IxU sand in which a lock cf the child' hair ras set. and which lie cut oil when the ran brought into him lifeless.

"Sure, ma'am, you need only give 5, for that's the price of six bottles of 'J. V. a', as tho boys call it, Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla will mako you as strong as me, ma'am." Mrs. J. Barron, of 142 Seventh street, San Francisco, writes: "I have been taking Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla with immense benefit.

It is perfectly splendid to build up nervous, run-down aiid worn out women." Mrs. Fred. Loy, of S27 Ellis street, Mrs. G. Werner, of 235 Berry street, and hundreds of others relate the same experience with the pure vegetable juices of this California compound.
