A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections

Reflections.
A writer in the open-letter department
of the current Century asks why in liter
ature there are no lady humorists. He
then goes on to answer this question by
expl aiming that from childhood man
finds the sawdust dropping out of every
thing, and soon discovers the worthless
ness of much that passes for valuable.
Therefore he learns to smile and to say
is it not absurd 2. instead of allowing
his passion for something to override his
growing desire for truth. But on the
other hand, woman's idols are so much
part of her life that when they are
broken she cannot snap her fingers, nor
seek mirth as an avenue of escape
Women may possibly grow satirieal, but
satire is only form of humor. "When
life ceases to be in some way holy, or at
any rate ideal, then woman's creative
faculty ceases" says the writer. "She
ends where mans talent as a humorist
begins.'

A Town Topics writer, distinguished
for his terseness, originality and strong
common sense, suggests that instead of
swearing off, and making needlessly and
hopelessly stringent resolutions to abso-
lutely refrain from bad habits, that one
might with more profit resolve not to get
any worse, but to hold ones own. For
example if one smokes four cigars day,
let one resolve not to increase ones al
lowance during the year. This is in the
line of practical personal reform. We
cannot, say the advocates of teetotalism,
remain morally stationary. We must be
continually getting better or worse. But
if one is going to make New Year eff
fort, and feels somewhat doubtful of his
ability to swear off completely, let him
try this plan of not swearing on He is
much more likely to do himself real
good, if he simply does not get worse.

Some five years ago Ed Plant, then
clerking for J. B. Hoge, captured small
soft-shell turtle, which in honor of friends
he named key Leota, and which he
made a pet of. Ed moved to Pittsburgh,
taking Isaac L. with him, and cherishing
the round beast as the apple of his eye.
Whenever he returned, as he often did,
on visits here, Ikey was brought along
in his pocket, and shared in the pleas
ure of seeing old friends. Ikey thrived
in his domestic life, grew slowly but
surely, was happy and contented, and if
ever turtle had reason to sing, he had.
A short time ago, his quondam friends
were saddened at receiving black edged
communication conveying the sad news
that key Leota had on Thursday night,
December 10th, at twenty minutes past
ten o'clock, in consequence of an attack
of grip, breathed his last.

Pursuing the Robbers.

The officers and citizens posses in
pursuit of the desperate Starr gang of
outlaws, who looted the Bentonville
(Ark.) bank of $4,000 in gold and sil-
yer a few days since, appear TO have
gone away Off the robbers trail as it
is claimed that the entire gang were
seen and conversed with on Thursday
of this week near the town of Oaks in
the Indian Territory, while the Off
GERS in pursuit were not known to be
within days ride of the spot. 1t is
said the gang is composed Of the same
men who participated in the recent
Pryor Greek robbery, They remain
ed all day in Oaks, spending their
money freely and drinking patent
medicines. Much talk was indulged
in. The leader said he could have
murdered all the Bentonville posse
had he SO desired His story was TO
the effect that his men lay in ambush
till the sheriff of Bentonville and party
approached. When within good
shooting range the brigand ordered
the sheriff to throw up his hands. The
command was obeyed without
whimper. The leader then remarked
that he did not want to shoot them
and said that if they would retrace
steps and proceed TO Bentonville no
one would be harmed. lie says the
sheriff took him at his word and aban-
doned the chase, leaving them to reach
the Indian country in good time and
within good time without receiving as
much as a scratch.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter 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.
Its 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
ative; efectually 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
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not

Another Train Robbery.

For some time past the light fin
gered gentry of the road have been
devoting their attention almost exclu-
sively, to the robbing Of express trains
and city banks in the Southern and
Western states. But a change ap-
pears to have come over the spirit of
their dreams Of gold, inducing them
to forsake a country, already becoming
uncomfortably warm, for the cool and
enticing shades Of the North and
East. The fact that they have lost no
time in following out the idea may be
seen from the account of their pres
ence in the state Of Iowa, which was
sent out from Ottumwa, on the Sth
instant as follows
Two masked men held up train No.
IL, coming east on the Chicago, Bur-
lington q Quincy road last night at
Nodaway, a small station west of
Corning. They detached the baggage
and mail cars and compelled the en-
gineer and fireman to haul their en-
gine and the two cars down the track.
Here they entered the baggage car and
asked the baggageman what train it
was. Being informed that it was on
ly passenger train, they said: owe
are after the express, the Denver ex-
PRESS" and Immediately disappeared.

WORLDS FAIR DECISION.
A Majority of the Court Decides
Against Sunday Opening.

The fact that the judges of the
Federal court had failed to agree on
the proper policy to be pursued, under
the law, In regard to the opening or
closing of the Worlds Fair gates on
Sunday, was generally known through
out Chicago on Thursday, SO on yes
terday morning the great crowd of
lawyers, spectators, etc, who have
been in attendance on the court dur
ing the progress of the trial, were sur
prised beyond measure, at the an
nouncement of a decision arrived at
by mode of procedure unparalleled
in the history of the Federal court in
the northern district of Illinois.
When Judges Woods, jenkins and
Grosscup took their seats, the former
announced that the court would pass
upon the motion for an injunction
made by the United States against
the Worlds Columbian Exposition.
Judge Woods said he and his associ-
ates entertained different views on
certain important points and each of
the jurists would formulate his ideas
in an individual opinion.
Judge Woods then, in a lengthy
opinion, decided that the prayer for
injunction was well grounded and the
Columbian exposition should be en-
joined from opening its gates on Sun
day.
Judge jenkins agreed in the main
with Judge Woods, differing with the
latter only on minor points of the law.
He decided the injunction must issue
and the fair must close on Sunday.
This decided the question, as Judge
Grosscup, should he hold otherwise,
would be in the minority. The court
agreed with the government on the
latter's right to insist on the contract
made by the adoption of the souvenir
coins, and that the gates Of the fair re-
main closed Sunday.
Judge Grosscup disagreed with his
associates. There was no contract Of
binding nature and the souvenir
coins were issued under a proviso in.
tended only to preserve the national
honor. In his opinion, the directors
and commissioners had the right to
open the fair Sunday.
The court instructed the counsel to
prepare an order providing for the in
junction as prayed.
Attorney Wilker for the exposition
gave notice of an application for ap-
peal, and it is probable after all that
the fair may not close Sunday, as an
appeal will surely be granted, and in
all probability supersedeas will be
obtained pending the final decision of
the supreme court.
