The show billed to appear In the

H explain why. Hut wliut's the uso?
B An long as the iinow Is on the ground
LLLt It Ih hard for the scavenger to clean up
H lroicrly, but should nnyono require his
B Immediate uervlct-B notice to the City
H Marshal will be attended to,
H At tho dances in the future wc
H heartily recommend that young ladles
lie the door managers, u they certainly
H fioe to It that everyone has a partner.
H The dance last Friday evening was a
H financial success, but Judge Duulavy
lion not been impressed with the fact
H that It was a matrimonial success.
H We wish the lady who tried to stop
H the boys from smoking cigarettes on the
H Hinge last Friday night had reported the
H fact to Night Marshal Garland or to the
H manager of the opera-house; we might
H havo had a different story to tell, and
H we might not, ntlll It Is always safer and
H best to report unythlng like this to the
Hj liropcr olllcers.
H Wc would respectfully call the ntten-
H Hon of the' citizens to the vandalism of
H Home of , our younger clement; the
B banlstera on the steps by the U I). H.
H church and up to the Methodist church
H ure rapidly disappearing. Now, boys,
H tho inhabitants of Golden Gate Hill will
H Hpprcclate leaving them alone; In
H fact nn effort will be made to locate the
H Vundnl and mako nu example of him be-
H fore Judge Dunlavy.
H - In our talk with the men who have
H liilt the West Dip on account of the cold
H grub nerved there. It appears that no
H one went to the superintendent. Oh, It
fl would have been no good, and I'd been
H fired. Fire and be darned, lie manly
H and state your grievances, give every-
H body a fair shake, and then In the event
H of no redrew forthcoinlliK. then iult.
B AVc Biirely believe that If this had been
H ilono Mr. Murphy would have seen to
H the remedy.

VENDENCY OF THE TIMES.
Tho tendency of medical science Is
toward prnvontlvo measures. Tho best
thought of the world Is being given to
tho Biibjcnt. It Is easier nnd better to
prevent than to cure. It has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous dlscnsep that medi
cal men have to contend with, can bo
prevented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re
sults from a cold or from nn attack of
lulluenza (grip), and It has been ob
served that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully proven
In ninny thousands of ciihch In which
this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip In
recent years, and can be relied upon
with Implicit confidence. Pneumonia
often results from n slight cold, when
no danger Is apprehended until It Is
suddenly discovered that there Is fever
and difficulty in breathing nnd pains In
the chest; then It Is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. Be on tho safe
side and tnko ChumberlnlnV Cough
Remedy as soon as the cold Is con
tracted. It always euros. For sale by

The Pittsburg-Utah has suspended

among Its directors.
Nearly alt of the men working at the
West Dip have quit. In talking to them
nnd asking them what Is the mntter,
they Invariably Inform you they like the
work and the bosses, but balk and draw
the line at cold grub being served up to
them.
It Is cold that Mr. Murphy has had n
good ileal of trouble with his men nt

hiring Italians to take the place of the

he will now biro no others.

One or the most Important stilkes tt
corded In Stockton for ninny months
punt has been icpoited tho past week In
Hie mine .of th Stockton Gold Mining
A Milling company, In Soldlr Bridge
canyon. The find wns made In tho
cross-cut drift, west, from tho bottom of
tin- 700-foot double-coinpnrtmeut shaft,
nnd consist of a mammoth body of
gcltnu and carbonate ore, tho extent of
which 1ms not been ns yet fully deter
mined, although opentd for a distance
of eight or ten feet. The bulk of this
mineral Is a shipping product, und con
signments to the local market will soon
follow. The find Is a most encouraging
one, and, If It holds out In size nnd
vnlue. ns everything indicates It will,
It will soon put the company on "vel
vet." In this mine there are many
thousandth of tons of low-grude ore ex
posed rendy for extraction, and a regu
lar tonnage of from fifty to 100 tons
dally will go to the new Honerlne mill,
