Another O1d-Timer of this County Sinks to Rest. Last Tuesday Valentine Butsch. died at his home in Gold Hill, Nevada, at the age of nearly 74 years. He. was a native of Germany. During the fifties he resided at Moore’s Flat, and was prominent in the Nevada county Democracy. In 1861 or thereabout he went to Gold Hill, where one of his daughters married Thomas Gallagher. He was.@ blucksmith by trade. . The Virginia City Enterpnse of Thurs day has the following concerning him: smith,’? was quite a noted character in the early days of the Comstock, taking an active part in political and public affairs, and his quaint speeches and _peculiar-— ly. vigorous. expressions attracted cousiderable attention. He was a genial-hearted old man, and had about as many friends as anybody. When age and infirmity impelled him to rétire . from arduous work he was for some years assigned to regular duty on the police force. His least days were passed in peace and quiet, and he died kindly cared for. The funeral will take place this. afternoon at 2 o’clock from St. Patrick’s Church, Gold Hill. EE rn The Grass Valley Postofiice. The Tidings of Thursday evening had the following: We printed yesterday an extract of a letter alleged to have been written from Washington City to the Nevada Transcrirr. The extract talked about'the Grass Valley postmastership, and spoke of the papers filed there with Dan. Collins’ application. The fact is that no papers have gone to een in Mr. Collins’ beMall, lf the Tidings editor will wipe his spectacles and again read “‘Forty-niner’s’ communication, he will find that the statements above attributed to it did not appear. If Mr. Collins had made a written application for the position, the correspondent would doubtless have so stated. Does the Tidings pretend that Uncle Dan has not taken steps to get the appointment, or that Geo, Hearst has not promised to do what he can to assist Uncle Dan in getting it? »Mr. Gillet’s Contribution.

Clark, of Watertown, N. Y., “‘if they would go at it right. I have a new view of the disease. Consumption is not always of lung origin.” “How so? Whatis it then?” ‘Many cases of consumption are secondary. The disease itself prevails everywhere, but the best practitioners refuse to attribute it entirely to inheritance or the “Butsch, the Gold Hill blackppreather. If a person lives in the most favorable climate in the world and has any tendency to lung weakness, if certain condidions exist in the system, that climate, however favorable, will not prevent development of the disease. The disorder in such cages is only a secondary symptom in the lungs of some other ailment, and can never be. cured until approached through its source,” 5 “Yes, doctor; but what is the method of approach ?” “If you dip your finger in ‘acid you burn it; do you not?” Ves.’ “If you wash this burnt finger every second with the acid, what is the result?” “Why, constant inflammation, festering and eventual destruction of the finger.” “Precisely! Now then for my method, which commends itself to thas reason and judgment: of every skillful practitioner. You know certain acids are developed inthe body. Well, if the system is all right these acids are neutralized or utilized and carr’e 1 out. Ifthe system is run down by excesses, anxiety, continual exposuré, or overwork, these acids accumulate in the blood. If there is~ any natural weakness in the lung, this acid attacks it, having a natural affinity for it, and if the acid is not neutralized or passed out of the system, it burns, ulcerates and finally destroys the lung. Is this clear?’ “Perfectly! But how do you prevent the accumulation of these acids in the system ?” “Trregularities of the liver and kidneys create this excess of acid and the supply can be cut off only by correcting the wrong action of these organs. The kidneys alone should carry out in quantity, in solution; enough of this acid daily, which, ifleftin the blood, would kill fourmen. When the stomach, the liver. and the kidneys are all conspiring to increase the acid, the wonder is'that weak lungs resist death as Jong as they do!” “But you have not told us how you would treat such cases.”’ “No, but Iwill. The lungs are only diseased as an effect of this acid or kidney poison in the blood, After having exhausted all authorized remedies to correct this acid condition, I was compelled, in justice to my patients, to use Warner’s safe cure: though a proed, I see, by leading physicians, by Presidents of State Boards of Health and by insurance physicians, as a scientific and the only specific for those great organs in which over ninety per cent of diseases originate or are sustained.’’ “Is this form of treatment successful ?’” “It is wonderfully so, and. for that reason Iam only too willing that you should announce it to the world of consumptives.’’ Note by the Publishers:—We have received thé above interveiw Q Casper’s Nevada City Opposition . 2 of his beautiful stock of goods. tf Six Yili _ Facsimile of the ordinary ham, now being placed on the market, and claimed to be as good as the “Our Taste.”’ moy,Sense, Many Curable Cases! . prietary remedy ,it is now recogniz-from H. H. Warner & Co., Rochester, N.Y., with the request that . » we publish it for the’good of suffer. ing-people. In a foot note to their letter they say : : “The experience of Dr. Clark is not strange tous. ._In our correspondence we have found that many thousands of people are suffering from what they think is Consumption, whereas the real difficulty is with the liver and. kidneys, proven by the ‘fact that wien these organs are restored to health by the use of Warner’s safe cure, the consumption disappears, and so does uremic or kidney poisoning, which causes so.many symptoms of diseases that the human system is subject to. The . same may be said of rheumatism, caused by an acid condition of the system. “We insist upon what we always have claimed, if you re-. ~ moye the cause, the system ‘will soon perfect the work already begun-. Mrs. Rev. Dr. Theodore Wolf, of Gettysburg, Pa., wife of editor of the Lutheran Quarterly, said her friends thorough her ‘far gone with Consumption,’ but after a thought treatment with Warner’s safe cure, shesays: ‘I am perfect[ly well.” We can cite thousands of such cases, but one is enough. Ifyou publish the above article, kindly send us a marked copy.’ We gladly give place to the article, forif we can in any. way stay the ravages of Consumption, which carries away so many millions yearly, it is our bounden duty soto do. a oe The Knigma Answered. Eprror Transcrrer—I am not any great shakes at puzzle working, but there fastens upon me a strong suspicion that the “‘king of the mountain and mine” enigma refers to the honest miner’s dinner bucket. I have seen or heard the same idea, gimilarly expressed many years ago in the old country, hence my present seeming astuteness. JACK. Nevapa City, Dec. 10, 1886. 2S AON Without Adequate Cause, Or with: apparently no cause at all, chills and fever, thought to be cured, germinates and refructifies in the system. This giant among diseases cannot be laid out with quinine. The only way to give ita final and extinguishing quietus, is to use persistently the national antidote to miasma poison, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which roots it out completely. The process of cure is, of course, much easier ifthe Bitters is used as a preventive, when the first’ cbill is felt, but persons who are not acquainted with the nature of the symptoms are sometimes in error as to their cause, and neglect the simple and pleasant remedy, of ull others best suited to check the progress of this dreaded and destructive malady, Visitors to, or sojourners in, malarious localities will, moreover, act the part of wisdom if they use the Bitters as a preparative. Rheumatism, constipation, biliousness, indigestion and kidney troubles are removed by the Bitters. ~ 2 ee Tue Rev. Geo. H.

Ey JOONCENTRATION OF ENER SS Sy This does not mean reduction in extent of Business. i The Great War IN DRY GOODS AND CLOTHING oe Having now fairly got under way on my account between the dealers of Nevada City, every contestant is put to his mettle to make the best fight he knows how. _ L. HYMAN, The Irrepressible Oppositionist, having come to the conclusion that every cent saved in carrying on his business is just so much saved to his patrons,has determined to concentrate all his energies on the central establishment at the corner of Main and Commercial streets. Hence he will on JANUARY Ist, 1887, Discontinue the Branch Store on Broad Street. Between Tuesday, December 7th, and the end of this month, he will offer-for sale at cash in hand, all the goods, fixtures, (consisting of shelves, counters, gas fixtures, etc.) of the store and tailoring de-_ THAN COST. . partment, AT LESS ee: = The Stock Embraces CLOTHING, — (Ready Made and Custom) Gents Furnishing Goods FINE HATS, Everything in this Department is new, having been bought but 60 days ago fora firstclass trade. The Tailoring Department. Embraces \ MACHINES, IRONS, ETC., Besides $600 WORTH OF FINE CLOTHS. As I am going out of this branch entirely, I will sell any part or all of these articles. Suits Made During the next 30 Days at ¢ FIFTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR. THE YARD AT HALF PRICE. This is not a “retiring from business” sale like that of some of theold merchants who advertised to that effect two or three years ago end are here yet. When I say I will sell out, I mean it. A certain merchant in this city advertises, “Down with High Prices,”? and he claims to have been in business here about 14.years. He says he pays 100 cents on the dollar for his goods. He claims he will give a prize of a clock worth $75, giving everybody who buys $5 worth a guess at a sack of chestnuts. He offers a suit that he formerly sold for $15, for $10, with a lot of trash like neckties, handkerchiefs, etc., thrown in. He offers for $450 a shelf-worn suit that he used to sell at $8. He did a similar thing two years ago when he said he was about to retire from business. Still he is here, Another competitor advertised his house and business for sale, but he is here yet. Ihave been but three years in this place. I am the only man that originally reduced the prices of Dry Goods and Clothing in the county. Iclaim the championship in reducing and keeping down prices, I offer A REWARD For proof that I am not entitled to that championship. I bave never said that I would sell for $10 a suit I had been getting $15 for, hecause I do not make profits big enough to.do so. Neither have I offered to throw in a white shirt worth $l1,a necktie worth 75 cents, and pocket handkerchiefs. These are things no merchant who charges only a living profit cando. When Isell a suit for $15, my profit is only about $2. He hassold $15 suits for $25: and $30, and can afford to throw in a good many things. I ask the public if the man who pays 100 cents on the dollar, and gives $75 prizes can sell as cheap as I can, when I pay only 50 cents on the dollar for goods and give no prizes. I say that I sell goods in this city at lower prices then other dealers can buy for. The reason is (I can show bills to prove it) that I buy direct from New York City, and get a discount by buying for cash. Iam the only dealer in Nevada county who does his own manufacturing, and I can prove it. I buy the cloth and have it madeinto suits. I pay no big rents. I employ boys right eut of school as clerks, and do a good deal of work myself. The. expense thus saved is for the benefit of the public who get low prices in consequence of my savings. I am here to stay. I have not got rich in the three years I have been here, and I do not expect to get rich. I have no communication, nor am I in connivance with any of the other dealers here; They are all at enmity with me,,and want to get me away assoon as they can. But they cannot drive me, nor hire me, nor coax me to go. Again I say I am here to stay, and stay I will in spite of all opposition and enmity. I ask the people to continue their liberal patronage, and I will do my level best to continue deserving it. I only ask for small profits, and will not want anything more. After New Year I will offer the Ladies some great inducements in the way of CALICO, MUSLINS and ether STAPLE GOODS, As my Dry Goods Store is too much crowded now to display them, They are stored in San Francisco till I can make room for them. ‘ Country orders promptly filled the day. they are received.

Now then for my method, which commends itself to thas reason and judgment: of every skillful practitioner. You know certain acids are developed inthe body. Well, if the system is all right these acids are neutralized or utilized and carr’e 1 out. Ifthe system is run down by excesses, anxiety, continual exposuré, or overwork, these acids accumulate in the blood. If there is~ any natural weakness in the lung, this acid attacks it, having a natural affinity for it, and if the acid is not neutralized or passed out of the system, it burns, ulcerates and finally destroys the lung. Is this clear?’ “Perfectly! But how do you prevent the accumulation of these acids in the system ?” “Trregularities of the liver and kidneys create this excess of acid and the supply can be cut off only by correcting the wrong action of these organs. The kidneys alone should carry out in quantity, in solution; enough of this acid daily, which, ifleftin the blood, would kill fourmen. When the stomach, the liver. and the kidneys are all conspiring to increase the acid, the wonder is'that weak lungs resist death as Jong as they do!” “But you have not told us how you would treat such cases.”’ “No, but Iwill. The lungs are only diseased as an effect of this acid or kidney poison in the blood, After having exhausted all authorized remedies to correct this acid condition, I was compelled, in justice to my patients, to use Warner’s safe cure: though a proed, I see, by leading physicians, by Presidents of State Boards of Health and by insurance physicians, as a scientific and the only specific for those great organs in which over ninety per cent of diseases originate or are sustained.’’ “Is this form of treatment successful ?’” “It is wonderfully so, and. for that reason Iam only too willing that you should announce it to the world of consumptives.’’ Note by the Publishers:—We have received thé above interveiw Q Casper’s Nevada City Opposition . 2 of his beautiful stock of goods. tf Six Yili _ Facsimile of the ordinary ham, now being placed on the market, and claimed to be as good as the “Our Taste.”’ moy,Sense, Many Curable Cases! . prietary remedy ,it is now recogniz-from H.

Nevapa City, Dec. 10, 1886. 2S AON Without Adequate Cause, Or with: apparently no cause at all, chills and fever, thought to be cured, germinates and refructifies in the system. This giant among diseases cannot be laid out with quinine. The only way to give ita final and extinguishing quietus, is to use persistently the national antidote to miasma poison, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which roots it out completely. The process of cure is, of course, much easier ifthe Bitters is used as a preventive, when the first’ cbill is felt, but persons who are not acquainted with the nature of the symptoms are sometimes in error as to their cause, and neglect the simple and pleasant remedy, of ull others best suited to check the progress of this dreaded and destructive malady, Visitors to, or sojourners in, malarious localities will, moreover, act the part of wisdom if they use the Bitters as a preparative. Rheumatism, constipation, biliousness, indigestion and kidney troubles are removed by the Bitters. ~ 2 ee Tue Rev. Geo. H.

Ey JOONCENTRATION OF ENER SS Sy This does not mean reduction in extent of Business. i The Great War IN DRY GOODS AND CLOTHING oe Having now fairly got under way on my account between the dealers of Nevada City, every contestant is put to his mettle to make the best fight he knows how. _ L. HYMAN, The Irrepressible Oppositionist, having come to the conclusion that every cent saved in carrying on his business is just so much saved to his patrons,has determined to concentrate all his energies on the central establishment at the corner of Main and Commercial streets. Hence he will on JANUARY Ist, 1887, Discontinue the Branch Store on Broad Street. Between Tuesday, December 7th, and the end of this month, he will offer-for sale at cash in hand, all the goods, fixtures, (consisting of shelves, counters, gas fixtures, etc.) of the store and tailoring de-_ THAN COST. . partment, AT LESS ee: = The Stock Embraces CLOTHING, — (Ready Made and Custom) Gents Furnishing Goods FINE HATS, Everything in this Department is new, having been bought but 60 days ago fora firstclass trade. The Tailoring Department. Embraces \ MACHINES, IRONS, ETC., Besides $600 WORTH OF FINE CLOTHS. As I am going out of this branch entirely, I will sell any part or all of these articles. Suits Made During the next 30 Days at ¢ FIFTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR. THE YARD AT HALF PRICE. This is not a “retiring from business” sale like that of some of theold merchants who advertised to that effect two or three years ago end are here yet. When I say I will sell out, I mean it. A certain merchant in this city advertises, “Down with High Prices,”? and he claims to have been in business here about 14.years. He says he pays 100 cents on the dollar for his goods. He claims he will give a prize of a clock worth $75, giving everybody who buys $5 worth a guess at a sack of chestnuts. He offers a suit that he formerly sold for $15, for $10, with a lot of trash like neckties, handkerchiefs, etc., thrown in. He offers for $450 a shelf-worn suit that he used to sell at $8. He did a similar thing two years ago when he said he was about to retire from business. Still he is here, Another competitor advertised his house and business for sale, but he is here yet. Ihave been but three years in this place. I am the only man that originally reduced the prices of Dry Goods and Clothing in the county. Iclaim the championship in reducing and keeping down prices, I offer A REWARD For proof that I am not entitled to that championship. I bave never said that I would sell for $10 a suit I had been getting $15 for, hecause I do not make profits big enough to.do so. Neither have I offered to throw in a white shirt worth $l1,a necktie worth 75 cents, and pocket handkerchiefs. These are things no merchant who charges only a living profit cando. When Isell a suit for $15, my profit is only about $2. He hassold $15 suits for $25: and $30, and can afford to throw in a good many things. I ask the public if the man who pays 100 cents on the dollar, and gives $75 prizes can sell as cheap as I can, when I pay only 50 cents on the dollar for goods and give no prizes. I say that I sell goods in this city at lower prices then other dealers can buy for. The reason is (I can show bills to prove it) that I buy direct from New York City, and get a discount by buying for cash. Iam the only dealer in Nevada county who does his own manufacturing, and I can prove it. I buy the cloth and have it madeinto suits. I pay no big rents. I employ boys right eut of school as clerks, and do a good deal of work myself. The. expense thus saved is for the benefit of the public who get low prices in consequence of my savings. I am here to stay. I have not got rich in the three years I have been here, and I do not expect to get rich. I have no communication, nor am I in connivance with any of the other dealers here; They are all at enmity with me,,and want to get me away assoon as they can. But they cannot drive me, nor hire me, nor coax me to go. Again I say I am here to stay, and stay I will in spite of all opposition and enmity. I ask the people to continue their liberal patronage, and I will do my level best to continue deserving it. I only ask for small profits, and will not want anything more. After New Year I will offer the Ladies some great inducements in the way of CALICO, MUSLINS and ether STAPLE GOODS, As my Dry Goods Store is too much crowded now to display them, They are stored in San Francisco till I can make room for them. ‘ Country orders promptly filled the day. they are received.
