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
atiye; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
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
accept any substitute if offered.

Mercury Wheel Club.

The members of this club, at their
last meeting, adopted series of reso-
lutions denouncing fast riding, except
in the extreme suburbs of the city,
cendemning the use of side walks on
Broad street for riders, and enjoining
the observance of strictest care in the
use Of side walks in the retired por-
tlons Of the town. The spirit Of the
club is shown in the 9th Resolution,
as follows:
1--WE will constantly bear in nina
that bicycles, baby carriages, and 9TH
er,light vehicles, are used on the side
walks, by courtesy Of the citizens only,
and will show our appreciation of the
privilege, by at all times riding in
such manner as to neither endanger
nor annoy them; and also remember
that il is our place to keep out of their
way, and not theirs to keep out Of
ours" el1w

Danger

If you have feeling of oppression
and uncasincss little above the
diaphragm, and just below the right
ribs, aggravated by lying on the right
side, look out? AS sure as fate your
liver is disordered. Perhaps not Sc
riously as yet, but--fatal hepatic abb
sccsses are not uncommon. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters Is the precise
remedy to regulate the liver, and pre-
vent its congestion and inflammation,
and to disperse such minor indiciu Of
Its arrangement as yellowness Of the
skin and ball Of the eye, furred tongue,
sourness Of the breath, nausea on
rising in the morning, dizziness, sick
headache and constipation. BY re-
laxing the bowels painlessly, 1t opens
channel Of exit for the super1uous
bile, checks tendency TO congestion
and engagement of the liver, at the
same time giving gentle impetus to
its secretive action, and affords relief
to the stomach, which is usually in
active, out Of order and oppressed
with wind when the bowels are Co.'S
tive. Use the bjtters also in fever and
ague, rheumatism and kidney troub-

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
After Inhaling Gas for Seventeen
Hours, John H. Leach is
Resuscitated.

An almost miraculous escape from
death was had by John III. Leach, of
Gadsden, Ala, who was found in his
room at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, in
this city, at 5 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, apparently asphyxiated, after
having lain for seventeen hours in a
closed room, the atmosphere Of which
was literally surcharged with gasse-
GUS poison escaping from an Enclosed
jet, which, on retiring, the victim had
failed to turn off, contenting himself
with simply "blowing out the gas.'
The man who tried this dangerous
experiment and so narrowly escaped
with his life as the result, arrived in
the city on Saturday evening from his
home in Gadsden, Ala, stopping over
night here, en-route to Longview,
Texas. Soon after his arrival here he
appeared at the Cosmopolitan Hotel,
where, after registering, he was shown
to bis room, retiring at II O'Clock
p. m. No further attention was paid
TO the guest by the hotel people until
o'clock on the following morning,
when he was called but failing to re-
spend he was left undisturbed as he
had left NO order for call and it was
known that he had retired at a late
hour the night previous 1t was not
until 5'clock in the afternoon that Mr..
VIII Mccartney, becoming uneasy at
the non appearance of his guest, pro-
ceeded to make personal investi-
cation. Upon his failure to receive
an answer to repeated calls, Mr.. Nc
Cartney ordered the shutters removed
from the window of the room, where
upon the man was found lying on his
bed apparently cold and still in death.
Entrance was Immediately effected to
the chamber, where an open passage
was established for the escape of the
noxious air. The services of DR.. r. l..
Grant, the hotel physician, were at
once called into requisition, and after
several hours of unremitting labor,
the apparently lifeless form was re-
vived and began to assume an animate
appearance. A continuation of this
somewhat heroic treatment had so far
restored the sufferer to his normal
condition as to enable him to leave
his room this morning. The same
having also afforded him sufficient
breath with which to raise a decided
row over the payment of moderate
fee to the physician by whose skill his
life, forfeited by his own folly, had
been preserved. A narrow escape
truly, as to whether fortunate one
or not, deponent sayeth not.

ciers of the Western States. This state
of financial affairs, if we are to believe
the statements of one certain man, is
all changed now, and that which
threatened ruin to SO many must be
regarded as q veritable blessing lin
disguise) to all. These bold assur-
ances come from George w. Williams,
president of the clearing house COM
mittee and the Chemical national
bank, who, in reviewing the present
financial situation in the West, from
his peculiar standpoint, said.
"There has been altogether too
much made of the situation. All that
is wanted now is quiet. The western
failures are adequately explained in
the method on which they did busi-
ness The ease with which this busi-
ness community sustained the losses
of last week makes them grow in con-
fideDce, rather than anything else.
The losses must have been enormous,
yet see how quickly and how compar-
atively easy they have been taken.
London cannot hurt us much, if any,
not only because 1t is particularly
light Of means to effect us, but because
the relation of financial standing and
resources of England and the United
States have changed. We are the
stronger now"

BREAKING THE RECORD.
The New Cunnarder, Campania, Wins
a Great Double Victory.

q Great double Victory.
So many truly wonderful perform
ances have been accomplished during
the past few years by those models OF
engineering skill and mechanical de-
vice, known as Ocean Steamships, and
which are, in fact, veritable floating
palaces, that 1t must indeed be some
thing out Of the common in this way,
that succeeds in attracting general
public interest. Such an event has in
reality just happened, in which the
crack Cunnsrder, Campania, which
sailed from New York, for Liverpool,
on the morning of May 9Th, arrived
at her destination at $3.50 o'clock, on
May 18th.
She made the passage from Sandy
Hook to Queenstown in five days, IL
hours and AZ minutes. This breaks
the Eastern record. The passengers
showed much jubiation over their
victory, cheering repeatedly The
Paris, which started at the same time
with the Campania in the race across
the ocean, was not in sight
The Campania is the largest steam
ship ahoat. She has length of 600
feet between perpendiculars, being
some 80 feet only, shorter than the
now defunct Great Eastern. Her
breath Of beam is 65,7 feet, or about
II feet less than the vessel referred to-
depth to upper deck, 43 feet, with a
gross tonnage of 12,5O0 tons and a

COMING EVENTS.
Future Legislative Policy Shadowed
Forth--Grover Speaks.

Just at this time, when so many
questions of national Importance force
themselves upon the public considera-
tion, and the settlement of the vexed
questions by future legislative enact
ment forms the paramount subject of
general public interest, an expression
from so great and powerful factor in
Legislative and governmental affairs, as
the president himself, cannot be with
out genuine interest to all. The
statements above alluded to as coming
from the president, were made o no
less parsonage than Ex-Speaker
Crisp, of Georgia. The Ex-Speaker
had been invited to dine with the
president, and having accepted same,
it was during their post prandial chat
the following outline of future legisla-
tive policy Of the present administra-
tion was outlined. The more impor-
tant portion of the conference is thus
set forth by Mr.. Crisp in recent in
terview in which, in answer to the
correspondents questions, he said:
In regard to the next congress, that if
it would repeal the federal election
laws; repeal the 10 per cent. tax on
the state banks; reform and lower the
tariff, and pass an income tax law, the
Democratic party would be good for
twenty-five years control of the coun-
try. He said that their acts would
satisfy the country and allay the fric-
ton in the west and south.
"What does the president think Of
the propositions" the correspondent
asked, and he replied:
81 do not know how he stands on
all of them, but he certainly is in favor
of a reduction of the tariff, and the re-
peal of the 10 per cent state bank tax"
"Do you think he favors an income
taxW
"That is subject he is giving a
most serious thought. / cannot state
how he stands on it, but few days
ago congressman who is a strong
believer in it, and who was farmers
candidate, besides being Democrat,
called on him and had long talk with
him on the income tax. This con-
gressman carried with him speech
on the income tax, delivered by Robt.
Reed, from which he quoted. Mr..
Cleveland was much interested and
stated that as the book containing the
speech was not in the White House
library he would like for the congress-
man to leave him his copy for his in
spection, which was done.
81 think" continued the ex-speaker,
@that Mr.. Cleveland is in thorough
accord with the trend Of Democratic
party, and know that he appreciates
to the highest extent the present con-
ditions of the people"
Mr.. Crisp seemed highly pleased
with the president, and expressed
himself as being halfway astonished
every time he met him at bis wonder
full grasp of public affairs.

Some Startling Indictments.

u
Some Startling Indictments.
The people of not alone Little Rock,
but of the entire state were treated to
a genuine surprise when it became
known that the Federal Grand Jury
for the Eastern district of Arkansas,
called in special session at Little Rock
to investigate the conduct Of certain
officials in the wrecking Of the First
National bank of that city, had on
yesterday returned indictments against
several of the most prominent citizens
of the Capitol City, even against men
whose completely in the crime had
never been mentioned, if at all, above
q whisper tone. Three were against
Horace G. Allis, ex-president Of the
bank, charging him with making false
statements to the comptroller and con-
verting $1,000,000 of assets Of the
bank to his own use. These charges
are embraced in thirty-nine distinct
counts. Allis is still under $4,000
bond given in January. The remain
ing two indictments are against Bank
Examiner Greed Walker and Nick
Kupfertz and were great surprise.
Walker is president of the Security
trust company Of Little Rock and was
cashier of the First national bank Of
that city during the earlier part Of
Allis' presidency. Kupfertz was vice
president of the bank during Allis'
entire presidency and upon the re-
signation Of Allis in January became
its president, which position he held
until the bank closed. Walker and
Kupfertz are jointly indicted in eight
counts charging them with making
false entries in the reports to the
comptroller in May July and Septem-
Der, 1891, of the banks condition.

A Mindreader Lust.

Hot SPRINGS, S. D., June Paul
Johnson, the mindreader, who went
with a party of five into the big wind
cave to find a pin that had been secreted
by member of the committee, is still
in the cave. 1t is 48 hours since the
party went in, and there are the gravest
fears for their safety, as they only ex-
pected to be gone II or 13 hours, and
did not have very large supply of food.
His manager, Rice, spent last night in
the cave searching for the party, but
found nothing except the place where
they had slept Sunday night. A search
ing party has been organized to go after
them.
