constipation will doubtlessly avail them
selves of the golden opportunity pre-
sented OF testing the new remedy, Syrup

standing, which have only been aggra.
waited by the harsh, gripping medicines
formerly used, yield promptly to the
gentle yet thorough influence OF Syrup
of Figs. Those who have tried it praise
it highly. Trial bottles free and large
bottles for sale by all druggists. C. +.

The Fret Flat in Town.


Mr., j. Il. Hollenbeck informs HER
AID reporter that the business edifce
that he is preparing to erect will be l20x
230 feet, the lower story to be used
as ware rooms of various kinds. The
second story will be made with eighty
rooms, in the form of the New York
hats, for the accommodation Of single
tenants or families. A large kitchen will
be made in the building SO that ample
facilities can be furnished for tenants to
do their own cookiI < if they SO desire.
The building will front 100 feet on
Spring street, aud 230 feet on Second
street. This will be the first regular
building made as fiat in Los Angeles,
and will prove quite convenience. The
corner is very eligible, and directly op-
posite the proposed new City Hall, on
the corner of Spring and Second street.
Work will be begun as soon as the plans
are completed, which will be in a few
days.

5nore pronouncedly shown than in the
Agitation to change the present site
selected for the County Court House.
Judge Widney, in communication
which appears in our local columns, dis
cusscs some of the aspects which make
the present site highly desirable. The
HERALD has watched the phases of this
agitation with some interest, while il
has never, for moment, lost its belief

been shown in the selection of the site

believe it ought to be made even mat

Eamuses one, as the world goes, to
hear our Republican friends making the
welkin ring about their overshadowing
chances in the next Presidential election.
Notwithstanding the fact that the "tidal
wave" OF 1882 has not run with quite the
same impetus during 1888, all the same
lts verdict has been proclaimed again
from the popular urn, and with splen
did diapason. in the carrying of New
York and Ohio, twice in succession. To
sensible Republicans this fact has most
resounding significance They well re-
member that the tidal wave elections of
lS74-whdch gslaced lower House of
Congress- three-fourths Republican by
Qouse of Representatives two-ihirds
Democratic, was followed, in the Pres.
Dental election of 1876, by decisive
triumph for the Democratic candidate
for President, MIR. Samuel j. Tilden; a
verdict which was only defeated by
phenomenal record of fraud, as embodied
in the person of Mr.. Rutherford B. Hayes
and his next friend John Sherman; who,
as result, became the Secretary of the
Treasury and the fugleman of this phe
nomenal fraud, with big, bigF. Even
in this year and day of grace, which
dates as to year, month and day, will be
found inscribed at the head of the HER
AIDS advertising and news medium,
there are plenty of Republicans who
affect ignorance OF the fact that the
Democratic party will t his year have a
''walk over" locally and nationally.
These Republicans are the comedians
who relieve life from its ordinary gloomy
hues. They SHOW that the Joyous i'm
pulse and Rnack Of making fool of one 5
self has not been lost even in this utili.
tartan age. The HERALD, while it
sympathizes with cannot lend itself TO all
the details of this enactment of the role
of Momus; and it is obliged, between
its laughs, to intimate its sym.
pathy for the Republican party
in the coming Presidential election Its
good humor is intensified when it re-
members how promptly the Democratic
House of Representatives came mp to

The Queens New Rook.
A New Prophet.

~ weather prophet has arisen in the
thriving town OF Rock Island, Illinois.
His name is Richard Mansill, who pub
fishes a monthly bulletin of his predic-
tions and the reasons therefor. In his
Journal of February |, 1854, he describes
the period of storms for February as fol.
lows:
"The worst storm and earth disturb
ings days shonld occur about the first
and fourth, from Friday to Monday"
The readers of the HERALD will re-
member that over five inches of rain fell
during that period in Los Angeles.
The next prediction of Mr.. Mansill
was that "anethr storm would occur
from the Sth to the 10th of this month,
all of which proved true, as it rained
thirteen hours in this city ON the 10th.
This for the fulfilled prophecies. As
to the things that must shortly come to
pass. Prophet Mansll s"ys the "next
storm should be from about the l4th to
the l7th, next Thursday 10 Sunday"
aud, lastly, for February, another "storm
the Goth to the Doth, Tuesday tn Fri
day"
The HERALD readers will watch for
these predictions with peculiar interest.
BY the position OF the planets, 10
which those atmo 81 helic disturbances
are charged, If these hu, les have any di-
rect effect upon the precipitation OF va.
por, as claimed by Prof. Mansill, the To-
cation OF the exterior planets on the Goth
would induce more disturbance tian at
any other time, as Mars, AN asteroidal
group, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune are on the same side of the sun
as the earth, while of the interior plan
cts, Venus will be OH the same side,
while shy Mercury will be all alone on
the other side. Ga the first of February
ull the planets were on the same SIDE;
that is, on the east side OF the sun. Since
that time Mercury has had his burning
throne on the west side Of the sun, and
will remain there till the last of March.
This makes all the planets evening stars
for the present, except Mercury. Ner-
tune will be the first large planet to
break the list on the 10th OF May next.
