THURSDAY OCTOBER 21 1897.
; DEATH AT HIS ANVIL
The blacksmith is
| usually looked upon
as the ideal of robust
’ health. This is fre-
quently the case but
. nevertheless he is
’ subject to the same
ills that afflict other
men and owing to
the arduous nature of his deity toil the re-
suits of bilious attacks or indigestion are
likely to be even more serious and speedy
than in the case of men who lead sedentary
lives. The harder a man works whether at
the anvil or bench or plow handle the
more important is the necessity for a care-
ful watchfulness over health.
When a hardworking man finds that his
liver is torprd or his digestion bad he can
save himself much discomfort and possibly
a serious sickness by resorting at once to
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
The man who does this will always go to
his work and come from it whistling. A
good wife or mother can be of great aid in
this respect. Hard working men are prone
to disregard little disorders and let them
run on. The good wife should see to it that
there is always a bottle of ‘ Golden Medical
Discovery ’ in the house and that it is used
when needed. An honest dealer won’t
advise a substitute.
“About four years ago I was greatly afflicted
with torpid liver” writes Miss Nellie Doyle of
Potsdam St. Lawrence Co. N. Y. ” A half dozen
bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
made me 1 a new woman.’ I truly believe your
remedy saved my life. lam having good health
and can do all my own housework.”
For a paper-covered copy of Dr. Pierce’s
Common Sense Medical Adviser send at
one-cent stamps to cover cost of mailing
only to the World’s Dispensary Medical
Association Buffalo N. Y. Cloth binding
to cents extra.
Miss Rachel A. Jones of Thomasville. Rankin
Co. Miss. writes: “Your wonderful Medical
Adviser' is worth more than its weight in gold.
I do not see how you can give such a volume
away. I have been offered $2.50 for it but I
would not part with it for five dollars.”

RICH STRIKES YEARS AGO.
Nevada City District Equnled Some ot
the Klondike Reuiou Records.
The city papers are publishing ac-
counts of the fabulous richness of the
gravel mines in the Klondike section of
Alaska and while in some instance* the
stories appear to be rather highly col-
ored they are not ahead of what hap-
pened in different parts of Californiain
early days. On September 13 1850
says the Nevada City Transcript A.
Isoard who is still a resident of our
city obtained from one panful of gravel
$912 worth of gold dust and small nug-
gets. The gravel was taken from dig-
gings directly back of Mrs. C. Beck-
man’s residence on the upper East
Broad street. From a piece of ground
30 feet square in the same claim Mr.
Isoard and partners took out $164000.
The old Nebraska the Manzanita and
the Hirschman diggings were wonder-
fully rich in the early times as were
many other smaller claims. To obtain
$4OO or $5OO from a single pan of dirt
was a common occurrence. Many re-
markably rich pockets were found on
Red Hill years ago. In one instance two
prospectors found beneath a bowlder
$1400 worth of solid gold. It was in
one irregular mass in shape more like
a platter than anything else the golden
lumps being joined together with fine
wires of gold.
All of these rich strikes were made
near the city none of them two miles
away. Notwithstanding the great
quantity of gold that has been taken
out in. this vicinity since 1849 there are
yet untold riches buried here in the
gravel and quartz mines for which Ne-
vada City district is noted.
WHISKY SAVED HIS LIFE.
Ml«»i»»lppl Steamboat Man Pretwved
Hia Anatomy Intact.
Charles Gross is a white-headed ne-
gro porter on the steamboat St. Fanil
says the St. Louis Republic.
Charlie has some very pronounced
opinions which amount to convictions.
One of these is that while whisky costs
some men their lives it saved his.
Seven years ago Charlie was porter
on the Mascot a packet boat running
between St. Louis and Caipe Girardeau.
He had been imbibing a prodigious
amount of fire water when a friend of
his came into the saloon on the levee
where he was enjoying himself and
said: “You mus’hur’up Charlie. Yoh
boat’s ringin’ her bell.”
“What 'f she is?” said Charlie. “I’ll
go on the nex’ trip” and he returned to
“the can.”
The Mascot- went on her way with-
out Charfie and when she was opposite
Neligh’s landing she blew up killing
most of her crew. So Gross is firm in
the belief that an all-ordering Provi-
dence gave him that remarkable ca-
pacity for fiery fluid in order to sav<
him from the fate of the sober mem
tiers of t&ecrerw.
He has sworn off since at the emphatic
request of Capt Burke but what he has
lost in the way of accomplishments in
the line of “throwing beer into hisself”
has been the cause of anxiety on his
part. He is superstitious about the
“cup that inebriates” and fears that
some day he will be punished as un-
grateful friends are likely to be by the
blowing up of the St. Paul and) all her
sober crew.
IN A LONDON HOTEL.
Ctivrninctz and Conceit* That Sur-
prise American Visitors.
The American visitor to London who
stops at) a certain hotel in that city
finds many novelties and conveniences
that are not known here in America
where hotels are supposed to have
reached the acme of luxury says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. It has an Amer-
ican plan dining-room but only a
French bill of fare. It has an Indian
room where an Indian chief in the cos-
tume of his country prepares native
dishes for those who desire them.
In this hotel each guest is known by
of bis room instead of
his name and it is rather odd to an
American to be addressed as “Mr. 960”
as though he were a convict in the pen-
itentiary.
On each floor day and night are to
be found a maid a valet and a waiter
who are at your service and have free
access to your rooms. When you come
home at night if you are a man you
find your clothes pressed and cleaned
and carefully packed 1 away in a chest
of drawers. If you are a woman the
maid attends to frills and furbelows
as though she were hired by you es-
pecially. Guests never bother with
their keys—the maid or valet on the
floor takes charge of the key and is
ready at any time to open your door.
SOMETHING TO KNOW.
It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters Improves the
appetite aids digestion and Is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try It. Sold for 50c or
$l.OO per bottle at F. Kalteyer & Son’s
drug store. 2
