KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
fer than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
euing them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
ci-ts in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Go. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any Substitute if offered.

The school election. as was antlcl-
pated, is passing off very quietly
there being no candidates but the two
pushed forward by the A =. A. The
women are taking an unusual inter
est in the election, but the vot-
ing is all one way. num-
Der of bugaboo stories about
dark horses are being circulated
by the members of the A. p. A. who
are making a desperate fight against
imaginary enemies. 1t has even gone
so far that the names of two citizens
have been circulated as being candi-
dates, who were to be sprung at .
O'Clock for a still hunt, but nothing
has been developed so far nor is there
likely to be.

Last evening at the Rock Island
house was the time set for the Joint
meeting of the business men and
clerks for the purpose of agreeing
upon an hour for closing the stores
during the heated term. The clerks
were there in force. but only one bus
mess man showed up and conse-
ouently the clerks held a meeting of
their own. The matter was talked
over. and it then developed that the
business men-or several of them at
least-had agreed among themselves
previously that the hour should be 3
o'clock-the same as last year-hence
their absence from the meeting. 1t
was then decided to issue the yellow
window cards indicating the hour for
closing and distribute them among
the merchants ready for use July D.
After some discussion the feeling
seemed to prevail that clerks union
should be organized. and accordingly
a committee was appointed to look
up the matter of constitution as Is
mad in other cities, and other matters
pertaining to its organization. 1t is
purposed to include clerks in every
branch of business in the new union.
