An IIlustrat1On

OF the value of extensive and judicious ad
vert: sing of any article of undOubted merit
is found in the, remarkable success of the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. which has been
phenomenal, even in this age of great enter
prises-
Organized few years &go to manufact-
features, prepared from delicious fruits and
health giving plants, one which would be
pleasant and refreshing to the taste. as well
as really beneficial TO the system, the man.
agement very wisely concluded to select the
leading newspapers throughout the United
States to make known to the public the
merits of the new remedy, Syrup of Figs.
AS happens with every valuable remedy,
becoming more difficult each day to impose
on the public. Health is too important to be
trif1ed with, and reputable druggists will
not attempt to deceive, they all know
that Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. of San Francisco,
Cal, Louisville, KY, New York, N. Y.

Pearl streets, was almost completely
ruined By fatal fire last night. With
in . week Of the destruction of the
Wallbridge building more than another
quarter million dollars went up in

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 23.-The
count progressing in the State Treasur-
er's office since last Saturday, the day
Treasurer-elect Morrow took charge,
came to sudden halt over a dispute
between Retiring Treasurer Woodruff
and Mr.. Morrow as to whether or not
certain Cancelled funds shall be count
ed. Morrow refused to accept the
funds and Woodruff refused to proceed
further, and there the matter rests.
1t is stated upon the highest author
ity, a power near the throne, that
Major Woodruff is short 500, 900,
and that not one cent has as yet
been raised by his bondsmen to
make good the shortage. These
gentlemen are in session again and it is
reported that they have decided to
withhold the funds until they learn
positively how much money is needed
70 make up the deficit. Then, and not
till then, will they attempt to turn over
any funds. It is also reported that
when they do-if they ever do so-the
money will be placed in the hands of
Colonel Morrow. 1t is safe to say that
the money is not in the vaults of the

From an interview, Ny. Wor,do

From an interview, N. Y. world)
In an interview with . leading drug-h
the n. Y. World, Nov. 9, 1890, gives the fol-
lowing comment on the proprietors Of re-
liable patent medicines:
HE IS specialist, and should know more
OF the disease he actually treats than the
ordinary physician; for while the latter
may come across say fifty cases in a year
OF the particular disease which this med
1clne combats, its manufacturer investi-
gates thousands. Don't You suppose his
prescription, which you buy ready made mn
for SO cents, is likely to do more good
than that OF the ordinary physician, who
charges you anywhere from g to $40 for
giving it, and leaves you to pay the cost Of
having it prepared!
1.-THE patent medicine man, too, usually
has the good sense to confine himself to or
binary, every day diseases He leaves tc the
physician cases in which there is immediate
danger to life, such as violent fevers He
does this because, in the treatment of such
cases, there are other elements of impor-
lance besides medicine, such as proper diet
ing, good nursing, q knowledge of the
patients strength and so on Where there
IS no absolute danger to life, where the dis
ease is one which the patient can diagnose
Tor himself or which some physician has
already determined, the patent medicine
maker says fearlessly: 4 have a prepare
ton which is better than any other known
and which will cure YOU In nine cases
out of ten his statement is true''
This Is absolutely true as regards the
great remedy for pain, St Jacobs Oil. 1t
can assert without fear of contradiction.
that it is a prompt and permanent cure of
pain. 1t can show proofs of cures of chronic
cases of 20, 80 and 20 years. standing. In
truth it rarely ever fails if used according
to directions. and a large proportion Of
cures is made by half the contents of sim
gle bottle. 1t is therefore the best

How Forsythe Erred.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-''Has the commit
tee appointed to investigate the Wound
ed Knee fight reported yet?" was asked
of Assistant Acknowledgement Corbin.
Not yet" was the reply, though
the report is about finished. It's finding
is that the officer in charge, Colonel
Fcrsythe, was unmindful of repeated in
structions that had been issued by Cen
eral Miles against the very things that
happened on that day. The court sat
for several days and took the evidence
OF the witnesses who saw the fight. The
report circulated about the court having
freed the responsible persons from
blame are erroneous

She has always taken a prominent part
in the receptions at the palace and in

doubtedly she has a predisposition for
public life, and it is an open secret
that shS has anticipated coming

she was appointed as Regent during his
absence, and fulfilled the responsible
position with acceptability.

years ago a syndicate was formed in
London whose object was to build and
operate line of steamships to run from
some point in England to Chicago,
but nothing was done at that
time owing to the fact that Canadian
canals would not accommodate ships
drawing nine feet of water. Recently
the shallowest canal has been so far inn
proved as to afford a depth of little
over nine feet and the project IS being
