Mrs. John Hamilton, of this city. and Mrs.Frankie Merrill (nee Brown), of Oakland, who have for some time been visiting the Eastern States together, leave New York next month on a European‘tour. The fellow whom the fair Frankie was prevailed upon by scheming individuals to marry st Oakland last Spring, wrote her. some time ago that if she would pay hima specified sum of money he would permit her to get a divorce from him. She replied that she had thousands for defense, but not one cent for blackmail, and that when she was ready for a divorce she would procure one without asking his consent, and at a cost not exceeding sixty dollars. Thereupon he followed her to Detroit, Michigan, where she was-then stopping, and one day sent his card to her rom, accompanied by a demand that she make an appointment with him. She promptly packed up her luggage and on the next train departed for parts unknown, leaving her would-be persecutor in the lurch. He is now at sea concerning her whereabouts. It is believed that specylato.s in Oakland furnished Merrill ‘with the necessary money to go Fast, on the condition that he would . repay it’ with liberal, interest if hé could extort any from the lady whe married him with the understanding that he was to go right~Off and die of consumption, ‘thus~transforming her into the interesting young widow she aspired to become.

THE COMMITTEE S ADDRESS. Nevada County's Exhibits at: the State and Mechanics Fairs. To the people of Nevada County :— It is self-evident proposition that increased capital is. necessary for the development of our mines, and a larger population tu the prop:-r cultivation of our soil and the development of our horticultural and agricultural resources. This increase of capital and population can best be secured by a general advertisemént of the abundant resources of the county. Appre-. ciative of this fact the Supervisors have wisely appropriated the sum of $1,000 to encourage immigration by exhibiting the resources of the county at . the State and Mechanics Fairs. The committee in_charge of this Fund have appropriated the sum of $500 for the collection and exhibition of the agricultural and_ horticultural productions at Sacramento and San, Francisco, andthe sum of $300 for the ‘collection_and display of samples of our-guartz and other mineral productions at the Mechanics Pavilion in San Francisco. The sum of $200 has been reserved for incidental expenses in-caring for and_ displaying the exhibits. feed Mr. J. R. Nickerson, of Grass Valley, has been appointed to collect and take charge’of the agricultural and horticultural exhibits, and will enter at once upon the task of collecting and arranging material for his display at Hoth the State and Mechanics Pavilion. Mr. Nickerson is an experienced and successful exhibitor, having taken more premiums, and having had a larger experience in managing fairs than any other available man in. this county. He “enters upon the work with a determination of making the largest-and very best exhibit possible with the resources at his command. He will visit many of the larger farms and orchards in person, and arrange for such exhibits as may be placed at his-disposal. But it will be impossible for him to visit any large number of localities in the limited time at his con.mand. We therefore invite all persons who have material suitable for exhibition to Communicate with him at once, or with the secretary of this committtee, that we may be enabled to make our collection without any delay. The fruits, rains, etc., for exhibibition, need not necessarily be of -extraordinary growth or quality. What we wish to exhibit is a°fair quality and sufficient quantity of all our horticultural-and agricultural productions. The collection and display of the minerals will be under the direction of Mr. John Werry, whose address is Nevada City, assisted by others who volunteer to assist in making our mineral display one that will not only attract general attentiun, but which will also bring every quartz lode and mineral vein in the county prominently. before the people of the State. It is intended to have every mine of any merit represented in this collection. Each specimen will be distinctly Jabeled with the name of the mine, the locality, and such other facts as the owner may be willing to communicate. This feature of the exhibit will be a novelty at the Mechanics Fair, and we propose to make it one which will attract universal attention. We respectfully solicit the co-operation and assistance ot al, mining men in the county, both quartz and drift, that we may be able to make such a showing as shall fully represent our mineral wealth, and thus stimulate the investment of.capital by which ulone our mines can be properly developed. Gi This is a matter in which every citizen and taxpayer is directly interested; for every new mine that is opened and every idle acre of ground that is brought under c¢ .Itivation increases the taxable property of the county, and thus tends directly to the reduction of the rate of taxation. The exhibition will be made in the interests of the entire county, and under no circumstances willa single dollar be appropriated to the furtherance of any private scheme or local enterprise. We wish to exhibit all products of the soil that have any commercial value; grain, grasses, seeds, roots and herbs, forage plants, fruits and other vegetables. The fruits may be either in their. fresh condition, preserved, dried or canned. The minerals should embrace quartz, gold-bearing gravels, marbles, slates, granites, limestone, clays, kaolin, soapstone, brick, chrome iron and other iron ores, copper and silver ore, petrifactions, crystals, asbestos, chalk and mineral curicsities generally. Valuable specimens will be returned to the owners at the close of the exhibition, if written request is filed with the persons in charge of the exhibits. Each specimen should be distinctly labeled with the name of the mineral, the lucality and the name of the exhibitor, together with any other facts that may be of interest: Blanks will be furriished for this purpose. All minerat exhibits should be addressed to Mr. John Werry, care of Cal. R. Clarke, of Nevada City, or care of Namuel-Granger of Grass Valley, or they may be forwarded directly to Mr. Werry’s address at Mechanics Pavilion'at San Francizco. It is intended also to add a forestry exhibit, including samples of different woods and wood products. This will be drawn largely from the Truckee vicinity. All persons having agricultural or horticultural material tor exhibition ‘are requested to confer in person or by letter with MroJ. R. Nickerson, Grass Valley. : _<Ihe Mechan cs I stitute exhibition Ist. The State Fair begins September 12th. The materials for exhibition should all be at their destination on or before the first day of the exhibition, that they may be properly arranged to compete for premiums. ‘ All the expenses of the transpor tation and care of articles for exhibition will be paid by the committee. Persons desiring farther information will receive prompt replies to their communications, With these worthy objects in view we are confident that,all will unite in . peared, and the affairs of the mine are .

Our greatest fear is that the WellsFargo Bank, which loaned.the mine about $36,000, will take the property. I had a talk with Mr. Tevisand promised to pay the debt off at the rate of $3000 or $4000'a month, but he would not accept the proposition, They won't give us enough time. The mine is all right. It is good property, run it, we would be all right. [have some wealthy friends in town though, and I think I may be able to pull it through all right. There are hardly any debts, except those due the bank. The others are very small.’ Lloyd Tevis, President of Wells, Fargo & Co’s Bank, also said that the mine was a good property, and tha’ he would readily and eagerly assume its debts and take the property. He said lan anxious creditor -had attached it for $800, but the money was paid and the property released. He did not think Shattuck was: a defaulter, and even if he was he could not have taken a very large amount. ‘ An attorney who had done considerable business for the mis. ing Shattuck expressed about the same opinion as did Mr. Tevis. He did not think Shattuck a defaulter, but could not account for his disappearance. The story on th: street yesterday was that Shattuck had called in and in other ways got—pessession of all the stock he could realize on and “skipped.” His unaccountable disappearence looks curious, to say the least. Meanwhile the saffairs of the Eaylebird seem to be in a~bad way. Notes From Washington. This paper’s Washington mining district correspondent writes as follows frem that part of the county : The Spanish mine will start up again Wednesday in full blast, the financial difficulties having been satisfactorily arranged. It is expected that-the Eaglebird will also: start up again soon, as Ed Shattuck has gone below to adjust matters, The new hoisting. works at the Washington mine have started up. for the first time. The 20 stamp mill on this mine is well under way, and will be ready to start up by the 10th or 15th of September without fail. 25 men are at work on the mill and mine at present. « The new town of Ormonde is quite lively at present. About 30 men are now employed in and around the place. A Veteran Gold Producer. The.Grass Valley Union of Tuesday says: Rich ore is being taken from the 16th level south of the Empire mine. The width of the ledge is two feet and over, and the quartz besides showing richly in gold carries plenty of sulphurets of high grade. No finer quality of ore-has come out of the mine in a long while.

He says that he is going home ‘to rest? -that such a thing as ‘taking things easy’ in and about this city is a hard matter ,to accomplish; it is go,/go, night and day, and there is ‘no place like home.’ ’’ Painiess Regulation. It is no longer a question of doubt— although the contrary was once be‘ieved—that medicines which produce violent effects ure unsuited to other than desperate‘emergencies. In other words, that super-potent remedies are calculated to weaken aud injure i the system rather than reform its. irregularities: Among medicines of debilitating effect are cathartics and cholagozues which copiously and abraptly.evacuate the bowels, — Because it do» not do this, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is preferable to the drenching class of purgatives. Painless in its effect, it is sufficiently active to remedy chronic constipation, It relieves by invigorating the intestines, and enables, not forces, them to perform the duty imposed upon them by nature. Promoting the secretion of bile in normal quanties by its healthfully timulating effect upon the live. , it is eminently conductive to digestion, and contributes in no sinall degree to keep the bowels regular. +29 Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.

An ex-fiend tells a sad story through the columns of the Woodland Mail, . which should be heeded by the youth of this State, who are already addicted to the use of opium, or who have just begun its use, as follows: “Tt is going to be a. terrible undertaking for me to break off smoking opium, but Lam determined to do so or die in the attempt. There are more young men in Woodland addicted to the habit than you think, who when the craving for the drug is upon them are willing todo anything; rob their parents to get. money to satisfy their desire for smoking. “The law aguinst this vice is a good one, and if it had been strictly enforeed by our officers a year ago, I would have been saved from the terrible condition Tam now in. The great mistake made by officers, not only here, but elsewhere, isa fear or dislike to injure the feelings of some respectable family whose son and brother is found in some of the opium. joints of the town where heresides. They -do not arrest him because, perhaps, it is . his first offense. Let me tell all such kind hearted officers that the greatest! kindness they can extend to such a young man and his respectable parents is to arrest him at once and make him feel the whole weight of the law. If he is just starting in, this may break him of the habit; if it runs along a year or two nothing but the walls of a prison or the grave will heep him away from where the drug is to be had. I know this from my own experience. Che first pipe of opium I ever smoked was in Woodland, and less than a year ago; now no one-but—my— Maker knows What a moral and physical wreck Tam. With what little manhood \T have left I intend to leave Woodland before I ain driven out like a dog, and will go to a mountain ranch, where [have a friend, and where I will make the greatest effort of my tife to break away from this accureed habit.”’ An Exploded Idea.

Mrs. John Hamilton, of this city. and Mrs.Frankie Merrill (nee Brown), of Oakland, who have for some time been visiting the Eastern States together, leave New York next month on a European‘tour. The fellow whom the fair Frankie was prevailed upon by scheming individuals to marry st Oakland last Spring, wrote her. some time ago that if she would pay hima specified sum of money he would permit her to get a divorce from him. She replied that she had thousands for defense, but not one cent for blackmail, and that when she was ready for a divorce she would procure one without asking his consent, and at a cost not exceeding sixty dollars. Thereupon he followed her to Detroit, Michigan, where she was-then stopping, and one day sent his card to her rom, accompanied by a demand that she make an appointment with him. She promptly packed up her luggage and on the next train departed for parts unknown, leaving her would-be persecutor in the lurch. He is now at sea concerning her whereabouts.

THE COMMITTEE S ADDRESS. Nevada County's Exhibits at: the State and Mechanics Fairs. To the people of Nevada County :— It is self-evident proposition that increased capital is. necessary for the development of our mines, and a larger population tu the prop:-r cultivation of our soil and the development of our horticultural and agricultural resources. This increase of capital and population can best be secured by a general advertisemént of the abundant resources of the county. Appre-. ciative of this fact the Supervisors have wisely appropriated the sum of $1,000 to encourage immigration by exhibiting the resources of the county at . the State and Mechanics Fairs. The committee in_charge of this Fund have appropriated the sum of $500 for the collection and exhibition of the agricultural and_ horticultural productions at Sacramento and San, Francisco, andthe sum of $300 for the ‘collection_and display of samples of our-guartz and other mineral productions at the Mechanics Pavilion in San Francisco. The sum of $200 has been reserved for incidental expenses in-caring for and_ displaying the exhibits. feed Mr. J. R. Nickerson, of Grass Valley, has been appointed to collect and take charge’of the agricultural and horticultural exhibits, and will enter at once upon the task of collecting and arranging material for his display at Hoth the State and Mechanics Pavilion. Mr. Nickerson is an experienced and successful exhibitor, having taken more premiums, and having had a larger experience in managing fairs than any other available man in. this county. He “enters upon the work with a determination of making the largest-and very best exhibit possible with the resources at his command. He will visit many of the larger farms and orchards in person, and arrange for such exhibits as may be placed at his-disposal. But it will be impossible for him to visit any large number of localities in the limited time at his con.mand. We therefore invite all persons who have material suitable for exhibition to Communicate with him at once, or with the secretary of this committtee, that we may be enabled to make our collection without any delay. The fruits, rains, etc., for exhibibition, need not necessarily be of -extraordinary growth or quality. What we wish to exhibit is a°fair quality and sufficient quantity of all our horticultural-and agricultural productions. The collection and display of the minerals will be under the direction of Mr. John Werry, whose address is Nevada City, assisted by others who volunteer to assist in making our mineral display one that will not only attract general attentiun, but which will also bring every quartz lode and mineral vein in the county prominently. before the people of the State. It is intended to have every mine of any merit represented in this collection. Each specimen will be distinctly Jabeled with the name of the mine, the locality, and such other facts as the owner may be willing to communicate. This feature of the exhibit will be a novelty at the Mechanics Fair, and we propose to make it one which will attract universal attention. We respectfully solicit the co-operation and assistance ot al, mining men in the county, both quartz and drift, that we may be able to make such a showing as shall fully represent our mineral wealth, and thus stimulate the investment of.capital by which ulone our mines can be properly developed. Gi This is a matter in which every citizen and taxpayer is directly interested; for every new mine that is opened and every idle acre of ground that is brought under c¢ .Itivation increases the taxable property of the county, and thus tends directly to the reduction of the rate of taxation. The exhibition will be made in the interests of the entire county, and under no circumstances willa single dollar be appropriated to the furtherance of any private scheme or local enterprise. We wish to exhibit all products of the soil that have any commercial value; grain, grasses, seeds, roots and herbs, forage plants, fruits and other vegetables. The fruits may be either in their. fresh condition, preserved, dried or canned. The minerals should embrace quartz, gold-bearing gravels, marbles, slates, granites, limestone, clays, kaolin, soapstone, brick, chrome iron and other iron ores, copper and silver ore, petrifactions, crystals, asbestos, chalk and mineral curicsities generally. Valuable specimens will be returned to the owners at the close of the exhibition, if written request is filed with the persons in charge of the exhibits. Each specimen should be distinctly labeled with the name of the mineral, the lucality and the name of the exhibitor, together with any other facts that may be of interest: Blanks will be furriished for this purpose. All minerat exhibits should be addressed to Mr. John Werry, care of Cal. R. Clarke, of Nevada City, or care of Namuel-Granger of Grass Valley, or they may be forwarded directly to Mr. Werry’s address at Mechanics Pavilion'at San Francizco. It is intended also to add a forestry exhibit, including samples of different woods and wood products. This will be drawn largely from the Truckee vicinity. All persons having agricultural or horticultural material tor exhibition ‘are requested to confer in person or by letter with MroJ. R. Nickerson, Grass Valley. : _<Ihe Mechan cs I stitute exhibition Ist. The State Fair begins September 12th. The materials for exhibition should all be at their destination on or before the first day of the exhibition, that they may be properly arranged to compete for premiums. ‘ All the expenses of the transpor tation and care of articles for exhibition will be paid by the committee. Persons desiring farther information will receive prompt replies to their communications, With these worthy objects in view we are confident that,all will unite in . peared, and the affairs of the mine are .

Our greatest fear is that the WellsFargo Bank, which loaned.the mine

about $36,000, will take the property. I had a talk with Mr. Tevisand promised to pay the debt off at the rate of $3000 or $4000'a month, but he would not accept the proposition, They won't give us enough time. The mine is all right. It is good property, run it, we would be all right. [have some wealthy friends in town though, and I think I may be able to pull it through all right. There are hardly any debts, except those due the bank. The others are very small.’ Lloyd Tevis, President of Wells, Fargo & Co’s Bank, also said that the mine was a good property, and tha’ he would readily and eagerly assume its debts and take the property. He said lan anxious creditor -had attached it for $800, but the money was paid and the property released. He did not think Shattuck was: a defaulter, and even if he was he could not have taken a very large amount. ‘ An attorney who had done considerable business for the mis. ing Shattuck expressed about the same opinion as did Mr. Tevis. He did not think Shattuck a defaulter, but could not account for his disappearance. The story on th: street yesterday was that Shattuck had called in and in other ways got—pessession of all the stock he could realize on and “skipped.” His unaccountable disappearence looks curious, to say the least. Meanwhile the saffairs of the Eaylebird seem to be in a~bad way. Notes From Washington. This paper’s Washington mining district correspondent writes as follows frem that part of the county : The Spanish mine will start up again Wednesday in full blast, the financial difficulties having been satisfactorily arranged. It is expected that-the Eaglebird will also: start up again soon, as Ed Shattuck has gone below to adjust matters, The new hoisting. works at the Washington mine have started up. for the first time. The 20 stamp mill on this mine is well under way, and will be ready to start up by the 10th or 15th of September without fail. 25 men are at work on the mill and mine at present. « The new town of Ormonde is quite lively at present. About 30 men are now employed in and around the place. A Veteran Gold Producer. The.Grass Valley Union of Tuesday says: Rich ore is being taken from the 16th level south of the Empire mine. The width of the ledge is two feet and over, and the quartz besides showing richly in gold carries plenty of sulphurets of high grade. No finer quality of ore-has come out of the mine in a long while. The 17th level,which feet, with good prospects,and the shaft is being sunk for the 18th level a» fast as machine drills can do the work.

Sa An epee. No Rest Among the Wicked. Tie San Francisco Hotel Gazette of Monday says: “‘E. J.

He says that he is going home ‘to rest? -that such a thing as ‘taking things easy’ in and about this city is a hard matter ,to accomplish; it is go,/go, night and day, and there is ‘no place like home.’ ’’ Painiess Regulation. It is no longer a question of doubt— although the contrary was once be‘ieved—that medicines which produce violent effects ure unsuited to other than desperate‘emergencies. In other words, that super-potent remedies are calculated to weaken aud injure i the system rather than reform its. irregularities: Among medicines of debilitating effect are cathartics and cholagozues which copiously and abraptly.evacuate the bowels, — Because it do» not do this, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is preferable to the drenching class of purgatives. Painless in its effect, it is sufficiently active to remedy chronic constipation, It relieves by invigorating the intestines, and enables, not forces, them to perform the duty imposed upon them by nature. Promoting the secretion of bile in normal quanties by its healthfully timulating effect upon the live. , it is eminently conductive to digestion, and contributes in no sinall degree to keep the bowels regular. +29 Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.

An ex-fiend tells a sad story through the columns of the Woodland Mail, . which should be heeded by the youth of this State, who are already addicted to the use of opium, or who have just begun its use, as follows: “Tt is going to be a. terrible undertaking for me to break off smoking opium, but Lam determined to do so or die in the attempt. There are more young men in Woodland addicted to the habit than you think, who when the craving for the drug is upon them are willing todo anything; rob their parents to get. money to satisfy their desire for smoking. “The law aguinst this vice is a good one, and if it had been strictly enforeed by our officers a year ago, I would have been saved from the terrible condition Tam now in. The great mistake made by officers, not only here, but elsewhere, isa fear or dislike to injure the feelings of some respectable family whose son and brother is found in some of the opium. joints of the town where heresides. They -do not arrest him because, perhaps, it is . his first offense. Let me tell all such kind hearted officers that the greatest! kindness they can extend to such a young man and his respectable parents is to arrest him at once and make him feel the whole weight of the law. If he is just starting in, this may break him of the habit; if it runs along a year or two nothing but the walls of a prison or the grave will heep him away from where the drug is to be had. I know this from my own experience. Che first pipe of opium I ever smoked was in Woodland, and less than a year ago; now no one-but—my— Maker knows What a moral and physical wreck Tam. With what little manhood \T have left I intend to leave Woodland before I ain driven out like a dog, and will go to a mountain ranch, where [have a friend, and where I will make the greatest effort of my tife to break away from this accureed habit.”’ An Exploded Idea. The ancient -idea that a woman should know nothing of basiness is a thoroughly exploded one.”” The women of Nevada City save hundreds of dollars annually for the men-folks by their knowledge. that they can save money by purchasing groceries of Gaylord. ag2-tf ~aileliiiniatesapecsoineten Office to Rent.
