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; 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

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

ture time make business for our rail
manufacturing industry. In nearly
every city in throughout the United
States are seen evidences of what will
yet be required in the way of railroad
construction. The necessities of ur-
ban and suburban life are fast opening
up opportunities for the manufactur-
ing industries. The need of rapid
transit in our rapidly expanding cities
will yet furnish an immense amount
of work in iron and steel lines. In at
least score of cities projects are on
foot for the building of elevated rail-
ways, the construction OF which will
involve enormous outlays of capital
and rush of business for plate and
structural mills. That this source of
demand will for years to come be a
permanent and profitable one can be
safely predicted.

Cyclone at Hope.

The following report of a destruc-
tive wind and hail storm has been
telegraphed to Little Rock and Men,
phis papers from Hope, Ark:
"Hope was visited this afternoon
by severe wind, rain and hail storm.
A number of houses were blown
down, several blown off the blocks
and great many roofs lifted clear Off
The building of the Fair Association
was totally demolished. No one was
killed or seriously injured. Guernsey,
q small town on the Iron Mountain
railway, five miles west of Hope, was
swept Off the earth. Several persons
were wounded and Mrs. Jane Rich
ardson and family killed. Several CIT
izens and two physicians of Hope
have gone to their relief The dam
age to property at this place and
Guernsey will aggregate large
sum. No such wind was ever wit
messed here before.p
The devastating winds were follow
cd by the sevorest hail storm ever
witnessed in Southern Arkansas, the
ground being covered in places, to a
depth of eight inches. SO far as
damage to property is concerned, the
hail storm proved the more destruc-
tive of the two.

CLEVELAND AND BRIGGS.
Additional Interest Given to the
Already Famous Trial.

If possible, the interest already
universally felt in the outcome of the
Briggs heresy case has been intensi-
fed by the circulation of sensation
al report to the effect that President
and Mrs. Cleveland are about to
withdraw from the Presbyterian
church, which is presided over by
Rev. Mr.. Sunderland, because of his
action in the Briggs trial, just how
much or little foundation there is for
the statement, of course, cannot be
determined, as the truth concerning
the matter is known only to the presi-
dent and his wife, and possibly their
most intimate friends.
According to this story, Rev. Mr..
Smith, a Presbyterian, has been the
guest of Mr.. Cleveland ever since the
Presbyterian general assembly met in
Washington Sunday a week ago.
Mr., Smith preached at Sunderland's
church, which is the church the
president and his wife attend. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Sunder-
lands remarks Sunday before last was
the best thing preachers could do
would be TO go out and convert sim
ners instead of spending their time in
quarreling over differences of opinion
as to doctrine. In fact he advocated
peace.
Just as he finished DR.. Sunderland
jumped up and took issue with Smith.
He thought that the minister was
half way defending Dr. Briggs, who
is now uppermost in the minds of the
Presbyterians. He said that he would
not be in the shoes of Mr. Briggs for
all the world DR.. Smith had not
mentioned the name of Mr.. Briggs
and everybody was very much sur
prised at the conduct of the old min
listers.
Now comes the story that Mr..
Cleveland and his wife are affronted
at the way their guest was treated
and will not attend DR.. Sunderland's
church any more. TO tins is added
the further statement that Mr.. Cleve.
land believes in and is friend of Dr.
Briggs in his fight and religious po-
sition.

In the Mayors court on the East
side yesterday the following cases
were disposed of by Recorder Treher:
City vs.. Tony Degrazier, charged
with violating the Sunday law, plea
of guilty entered and fine Of $40 and
costs imposed.
City VS.. James Conner, charged
with disturbing the peace, plea Of
guilty and fined $5 and costs.
In the case of Mr.. Degrazier the de-
fendant subsequently appeared by his
attorney, Joe f. Cook, and asked per-
mission of the court to withdraw his
former plea Of guilty and have trial
anew. The matter was taken under
advissment by the court.

Railroads.

"What has become Of the projected
extension from Texarkana? Has the
proposition of the committee of IF
teen been accepted or rejected2 Or
are the negotiations still of the nature
which requires silence? And the
three S's-the Sherman, Shreveport
and Southern? another projected road,
and the Red River Valley is prospec-
tive. Can anybody or will anybody
give little information on railroads.
1t would be refreshing to have a little
talk, little breeze on railroads. Who
can give 1t? Who will give 1t? Is II
possible the long summer days will
end as the spring without o new rail
road? Perish the thought"
The above pertinent queries from
the Shreveport Caucasian serve to II.
lustrate the Importance which
the press and public Of that
attach to securing location on the
line of the new road now III course
of construction from Kansas City to
the Gulf, via TT Smith and Texarkana
In answer to one of the Caucasian's
questions we will say that the build
ing Of the road is an assured and
settled fact, and that the work of con.
struction between Kansas City and
Texarkana is even now being rapidly
pushed forward, while the engine
ering and surveying corps are
already in the field south Of Tex
arkana, pushing the preliminary sur
veys actively forward. SO lot our
Shreveport ncighbor urge his people
to get decided move on themselves
il they really want slice of this rich
