Mans Inhumanity to Himself.

The most inhuman outragcs,
which would disgrace the saw

TEN. Many people constantly do this
under the impression that medica-

action, and particularly cathartics, are
of any avail. Irreparable injury to

idea. The laxative which most nearly
approaches the benefcent action Of

which is painless but thorough, and

FEDERAL ELECTION LAW.
The Now Election Bill TO come up,
For Final Consideration,
Next Tuesday.

The Senate has at last named day
for a final vote upon the bill repeating
the Federal election law. After
long colloquy yesterday, between Sem
ators Grey and Chambers, the Repub-
licans consented that general debate
on the measure should close next
Tuesday at pm. After that hour
amendments NAV be presented and
passed upon, but the final vote must
be taken before the adjournment of the
Senate on that day.
The bond question came up for
discussion next and, after long de-
bate went over until today. The sig
nifcant feature of the discussion was
the firm stand taken by Senator Sher-
man in favor Of the authority OF Sec
retary Carlisle to issue bonds. The
gold reserve he declared TO be
fund which shonld be preserved inyi-
olate and be thought 1t even manda-
tory.
A petition alleged to represent 10,-
900 wool growers Of California, ire
spective Of party, praying against the
reduction of the duty on wool was
presented in the Senate by Senator
Perkins (Cal) Senator Washburn, of
Minnesota, presented petition of
5000 citizens of ST. Louis County,
Mimi, protesting against putting iron
ore on the free list.
Senator Stewards resolution declar-
ing proposed issue of bonds to be
without authority of law was tax \
up and Mr.. Stewart addressed the
Seuate in Its favor.
Senator Sherman followed Mr..
Stewart and criticised severely the at
tack upon the credit of the Nation III
the resolution proposed by Senator
Stewart, aud also in the speech Of Al
'en. He said he was surprised that
auy one had risen to sustain the admin
istration in its aim to maintain the
credit Of the country. These attacks,
just as the bonds were about to be is
sued, were serious and II apparently

or, if sold, compel sale at greatly re-
duced rate of interest
In the House the day was consum-
ed principally by the speeches of Rep
resentative Cochran, Of New York
and Bryan, of Nebraska, on the tariff
and income tax bills. Cochran bitter
ly opposed the Income tax bill and de-
preciated it's annexation to the tariff
measure, for which he expressed him.
self as willing to vote. He was ably
answered by Bryan, of Nebraska, who
spoke with force and eloquence in fa-
vor Of both measures. At the close
ofMr. Brysn's address the House ad-

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; 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 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.

THE oLYPHANT BANDITS.
Jim wyrick, the Second Train Robber
Convicted of Murder In the
First Degree.

Newport, January SO.-At 1880
O'Clock this morning the presiding
judge gave final instructions to the
jury in the trial of James L. Wyrick.
AT $3.50 that jury returned verdict
against Wyrick of murder in the first
degree.
This conclusion was arrived at
quicker than did the jury that tried
Thomas Brady, by nineteen hours.
When the jury retired in the Wy
rick case, Albert Mansker, another Of
the Olyphant gang, was placed on
trial. Several hours were consumed
in empaneling jury. When, at last
the jury was empaneled, the witnesses
were called.
The porter of the robbed train was
the first witness. He repeated the
same account that he gave Of the rob-
berry in the Brady and Wyrick trials.
Mansker is a tall, round shouldered
man, large frame, on which Is a rather
light garment of flesh. His hair is
parted almost in the middle and
combed down in two fiat bangs on his
forehead. His eyes are sunken and
clear. He sits with his chair tilted
back against the bar railing, and while
intently eyeing the witnesses and jury
alternately, cultivates his long mus
tache with a comb.
Albert Msnsker has made history
for himself in the annals of lawless-
ness. In 1884 he was proprietor of a
SELDOM at Wichita Falls, Tex, at which
time he was also a member of the no.
torious Williams gang of bank and
train robbers, then in the zenith of its
depredations in the Lone Star state.
He and man named Jordan are all
that's left Of that notorious gang this
side of the grave or penitentiary.
Manster fled from Texas and turned
up next in the well known Bentonville
bank robbery last april under the
alias of Albert Adams. All CLANCY,
the boss of that gang is now serving
term of twenty-five years in the United
States penitentiary at Detroit, sent
there by the inexorable hand of Ark
ansas justice.
From that time forward Mansker
continued his lawless career, without
interruption, save to marry young
and innocent girl. After committing
numerous lesser crimes Mansker final
ly planod and led in tue execution of
the last and boldest of his many nefa-
rious enter, prises, the robbing of
the Iron Mountain passenger train
and murder of the conductor w. P.
McNally. Upon the conclusion OF
Mansker's trial another of the ban
dts will be brought forward to the
bar to face accusing justice. The tria
will probably last several days. The
convicted robber has not yet received
sentence.

In Olden Times

People overlooked the Importance of
permanently beneficial effects and
were satisfied with transient action;
but now that it is generally known
that Syrup of Figs Will permanently

Three other women are on record as
