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; 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
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 50c 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,

accept any substitute if offered.

AS far as bicycling is concerned, this
city will be dead. From today until
tomorrow evening there will be general
hegira OF riders to Riverside to be in
time for the Saturday eventr.
Jenkins, Holbrook and Gstensbury
left yesterday, and many more will leave

Paula wonder, Williams. The young
fellow is accompanied by his trainer
and contingent of admires, who have
some money to place upon his chances.
Williams is pleasant-looking young
man and Ia rather small. He weighs
sbout as much as Jenkins. but has more
flesh on his legs than that embodiment
of grit. The Santa Paula man has
very pretty method of pedaling and all
those at :he track who saw him agree
that he is very clever rider. r
For the sake of those who are with
him, it is to be desired that he will
come up to their expectations.

had pleasant trip in Chicago, his for

ings are most magnificent, visitor

is in them as with their external grand

II was especially pleased with the

very handsome, and far snrpasses all OF
the other state buildings.

BILE state. business being badly demoral-
lied. Chicago, however, OF all the large
cities, is perhaps the morst fortunate, as
she has about $500,000 income every
day. There are fully 100000 visitors in
the city, and S. day for each is very
conservative estimate. l do not think
that the city will suffer materially when
the fair is over, because by that time
this present depression and panicky
state of things will have subsided.
"California is in far better state than
the east. and can certainly congratulate
herself. One cannot appreciate the
condition in the east until he sees it.
In Chicago the unemployed are allowed
every possible opportunity to express
Themselves. The mayor, Carter Harri-
son, believes in giving the people a
chance, and they are allowed as much
freedom as is possible.
"The indications for a large tourist
travel to Southern California are very
excellent. We passed the chamber OF
commerce excursion near Flagstaff.

"MAC" BILLY YOUNG.

The Supreme Court Takes Hand in His
Case.
Late yesterday afternoon Sheriff Cline
received telegram from the supreme
court stating that that tribunal had
granted writ of probable cause in the
case of the ''mac' Billy Young, just
sentenced to 10 years in San Quentin for
manslaughter in the killing of his mis-
tress, Irene O'Brien.
This will keep Young in the county
jail until his appeal is heard by the
supreme court. There is no telling when
that will be, but Young is probably good
for year in the county before the
court of last resort reaches his case. The
supreme court grants the writ over the
denial of the superior court to grant such
a motion. The attorneys for Young feel
quite elated over their success in keep
ing their client from being sent up the
road for some time.

Oueens OF the Worlds Fair,

The Columbian Exposition is golden
prophecy of woman's future. by the
appointment of the board of lady man.
ayers with full control to labor as
seemed to them best, the government
of the United States gave its first seal
to woman's unrestricted labor. Does
not this portcnd the speedy removal
Of all the shaclIles which have hith-
crto hampered her endeavors? The
platform of the Woman's building on
that opening day, with the representa-
tiyes from many foreign lands and the
hundred members of the home board
gathered from the different states and
territories, typifled the closer union in
which henceforth all leaders will join
the furtherance of every good cause.
The ringing words spoken in behalf of
fair play for all classes will go echoing
round the world until they awaken res
olutions strong enough to secure the
demand. AS the browning touch of all,
the whole of woman's part in the great
Worlds fair was dedicated to an ele-
waited wamanhood. -Chautauquan

Political Editor,

In all these United States there are,
it is said, but three women who own,
publish and edit political newspapers.
One of the three is Mrs. Mary Virginia
Proctor, OF Lebanon, o., editor, pro-
prietor and business manager of the
Lebanon Patriot, the democratic organ
of Warren county. 1t is an ambitious
and politically ardent journal published
in a strong republican county, the for
mer home of Tom Corwin, Bishop Soule,
Gen. Furnishes, Justice Mclean, Gen.
Mitchell and many other men of emf
nence. Upon the death of her hus-
band, who was editor of the paper,
Mrs. Proctor was inclined to sell the
Patriot, but found she could do so only
at loss. As it was on a paying basis,
she determined to continue in full
charge, and within the first year of her
absolute control she increased the cir
culation and took n well-earned place
among the editors of the state. She Is
earnest, extremely practical in busi-
ness and politics, not hesitating to use
her editorial columns in the defense Of
her party and in the vigorous denun-
citation of the enemy both in national
and local campaigns, While not as.
suming literary pretensions, she has a
clear, forcible style, not unmixed with
keen sarcasm and incisive thrusts in
her political writings. She has a very
comfortable and valuable home at Leb-
anon. The Patriot pays well and she
is stakeholder in local bank there
