Famous "Women.
Madame Trebelli, the greatest of
living contraltos who has traveled
extensively, in fact visited every
county and city of note in the world,
hasjuBt departed from the slope of
the Pacific, and often expressing the
greatest admiration for the beauty
and grandeur of our scenery and the
delightful mildness of our climate,
left the following written note as a
living expression of her opinion in
the hands of a Portland druggist, the
original of which can l)e seen on de
maud. Portland, Or., April G, 1887.
Dear Mr. Wisdem: I have tried your
'Kobertine," and it gives mo much
plensuro to sny that it is excellent for
the complexion, being one of the best
articles of the kind I have ever used. Be
lieve ine, yours sincerely,
Z. Trebelli.

lency of this article is required call ou

will satisfy tho most skeptical and
fastidious and give yon a beautiful
picture card for tho trouble of en
quiring. General Gibbous has received the

Unnecessary Misery.
Probably as much misery comes
from habitual "constipation as from
any derangement of the functions of
the body, and it is . difficult to cure,
for the reason that no one likes to
take tho medicines usually pre
scribed. HAMBURG FIGS wore
prepared to obviate this difficulty,
and they will be found pleasant to
the taste of women and children. 25

appeal with the commissions asked
fer:
Pbineville, Or., April 7.
Hon. Sylvester Pennoyer, governor
of the state of Oregon and commander-in-chief
of the state mili
tia: The irrepressible and invincible
cowboys of Crook county desire to
servo their country and work off
somo of their superfluous martial
ardor (commonly called cussedness),
in a way that will send their names
thundering down the ages; they burn
to wear a uniform, bear drums aud
see a battle; they want to bo soldiers,
bedad! so that when the demon of
havoc whoops "carnage" and unties
the dogs of war, they can rush to the
fore, and, side by side with the
Portland brave3, capture a hen
roost and lift the scalp off a beer
bottle, and to that eud most re
spectfully ask to be authorized,
empowered and allowed to form
a militia company, with headquar
ters, barracks, free lunch counter,
or whatever it is called, at Prineville.
We are a hundred strong aud we do
not expect to be appointed generals.
A few of the boys are perfectly willing
to be colonels, and even some would
be corporals. We are not stuck up;
we only ask to be allowed to serve our
country and draw our proportion of
tho public funds, iu fact the latter is
the main object. All the boys are ex
perts on the draw, and we can assure
you we will not shirk any financial
task you as commander may impose
on us.
Hoping to hear from you (with a
commission), I am respectfully,
Geo. W. Barxes.
Enjoy Life.
What a truly beautiful world we
live in 1 Nature gives us grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment
We can desire no better when in
perfect health; but how often do the
majority of peoplo feel like giving it
up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory
proof, that ureens August flower,
will make them free from disease,
as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes of
seventy five per cent, of suoh mala
dies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick
Headache, Costiveness, Nervous
Prostration, Dizziness of the Head,
Palpitation of the Heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses
of August Flower will prove its
wonderful effect. Sample bottles,
10 cents. Try it.
Had Lived in YA Dorado Hiiiieir.
"Say, Jedge,'' said Edward F. For
rester when called up yesterday be
fore Judge Hornblowcr for sentence
ou a charge of vagrancy, "say, Jedge.
I was loaded aud didn't know what I
was doin' when they took me in for
beggin'. Let me off this time and I'll
wander away to tho wilds o' El Dorado
county, and hide myself in somo se
cluded dell an' borry a plow an' fence
in 1C0 acres o' land an' plant olives
an' things. Yes, Jedge, I'll train up
a vine and fig tree in th' way they
should go, an' build a little cottage,
an' in th summer evenin s I'll sit on
me rustio porch an1 play a lute while
the twinklin' stars is laughin' and the
birds is beiu' lulled t' rest bv its soft
cadences."
"El Dorado county!" returned his
honor, "why, I lived there once mv-
aelf," and a reminiscent smile o'er
spread the judicial countenance.
"Ye did, did ye, Jedge? D'ye
know Nigger Hill an' Clemen's saloon ?
Clem's oldest boy married one o' the
Stallinses' darter t' one Ike Stallins,
what owned the wall-eyed mewel
what kicked so hard. Ole Stallins
bet he could break up more hard
rock than any quartz mill in th'
county."
"Dismissed!"' gasped tho judge.
"Bailiff, take him out for heaven's
sake." And the El Do-ado pioneer
was led from the court room, hurling
at the judge as ho went disjointed
ejaculations of admiration of the
kicking capacity of Stallins' "mewel."
