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, 1.-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
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
elsng 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

fYou Want The Best.


ALTHOUGH you may have had good luck
with but few failures in making cake and
biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and
sour milk, or soda and cream of tartar you
will have better luck and following directions)
no failures with the Royal Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when you
remember that in the leading hotels and res.
taurants, and in the homes of Our city cousins,
where the latest and best methods are invari-
ably employed and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints:
never makes sour. soggy or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who
cling to the old fashioned methods, or who use
other Baking Powders. "..<--
If you want the best food, Royal Baking
Powder is indispensable.

WASHINGTON, March so TO a few
congressman who have talked with him
on the subject, Mr. Cleveland has init
mated that he Will call an extra session
of congress to dispose of the tariff 9ues-
ton. No definite time has been set,
but the session will begin either in Sep
tember or October Beyond the decision
to call the extra session the matter has
progressed no further and it, has not
been decided whether any other mat
tiers will be especially urged on con-
gress.
Representative Springer, of Illinois,
chairman OF the committee on WAYS
md means, which is charged with the
preparation of the tariff bills, was
Questioned to-day relative to the time
It would take to. enact new
Tariff bill. lie said it would be i'm
possible for congress to enact any
measure of the kind wanted earlier
Than May if the subject were consid-
cred at the regular session beginning
N December. An extra Session would,
II course, bring the matteroto settle.
nent much quicker, as it met in ad-
vance of the regular session, and would
give the people n fair opportunity to
Judge of the merits of the measure
adopted before the general election in
November, 1891.

day in the Cherokee senate was one
succession of violent stormy scenes. re-
calling the most turbulent passages in
the early cattlcmen's fight against ex-
Chief Mayes.
Saturday morning Senator Wolfe,
leader of the national party in the SEN
ate, offered substitute to the bill re-
ported Friday, ratifying the congress
sional amendments to the strip bill.
Wolfe's substitute is in effect that the
ratification. shall notob be construed to
mean the acceptance of the amend
ments until such acceptance is for
mally fled with the secretary of the
interior by a delegation consisting of
the principal chief, the nations treas
urer and three delegates to be ap-
pointed by the council who shall be-
fore the title to the strip passes In fee
simple to the federal government re-
ccive payment in full, in accordance
with the terms of the act of congress-
The Substitute further provides that
the secretary of the interior must give
a guarantee that all intruders shall be
removed at once. 1t also authorizes the
same delegation to negotiate the GER
tificates Many members objected to it
because they said it would add new
complications and might possibly de-
feat ratification.
The substitute bill failed and the
original strip ratification bill passed
the lower house by unanimous vote,
il having passed the senate an hour be-
fore. The chief will sign it without
doubt The last scene in both senate
and house were exciting in the ex-
treme. The Downing party took time
by the forelock and railroaded the bill
through both houses. The work was
done with such neatness and dispatch
that the members themselves were sur
prised.
There now remains nothing more to
be done by the Indians In the opinion
of Congressman Peel the strip cannot
possibly be opened before July 1. Be
side the seventy allotments to be made
to the Cherokees provided for in the
agreement, the Toukawa lands will
have to be surveyed. The Cherokee
delegation when appointed will leave
at once for Washington to arrange the
money matter with Secretary of the
Interior Smith.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

DeaIhesS CannOt be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness IS
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is in6amed you have q rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation ca be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused BY catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
