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 a 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

An ImmigBMnt From Bremen Down with
the Disease at Cumberland. Md.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, Sept. Great
excitement was caused here by the dis
covery of q case of sporadic or Asiatic
cholera among immigrants from Bre-
men en- route 10 Pittsburg. The man,
John Peterwalther, was so i'll that he
could not walk. He was removed from
the train to the immigrant house and
later to a pesthouse outside the city
limits. He landed in New York Tues
day on North German Lloyd steamer.
Other immigrants were sent to Pitts
burg in q close car and the authorities
notified.
Surgeon General Wyman of the Ma
rine hospital, Washington, says:
II do not believe that this man died
of Asiatic cholera. There is no cholera
in Bremen, where the man came from.
There has been no disease found among
other men detained at Pittsburg."

SENATOR Villas SPOKE
Address to the Wisconsin Democratic
State Convention at Mil
Waukee.
CAUSE OF COUNTRY's EVILS
Sherman Silver Law and Mckinley
Bill Blamed For the Hard
Times.
CAUSE OF C0UNTRY's EVILS

MTLwAUKEE, Sept. z. The state Dem
ocratic convention was called to order
at noon by Chairman Wall. Senator
Villas was temporary chairman. The
senator addressed the convention, say
ing that the present Democratic admin
istration had made splendid showing,
considering the obstacles encountered.
Three Causes For the country's Evils.
The evils that had fallen upon the
country Senator Villas attributed to
three causes, namely, the Fifty-frst
or so-called billion dollar congress,
with all It's misdeeds; its silver purchas-
ing law; its Mckinley protection act
and its unexampled extravaganza, not
only in direct appropriations but in en-
failing future obligations yet to be dis
charged.
He gave figures, which, he claimed,
showed that the first Cleveland admin
istration had been much more econom-
ical and careful for the future than the
Hfrrison administration.
The TariR and the Sherman Law.
Taking up the tariff question, Senator
Villas said by the Mckinley law favor
ties waxed fat, but the public treasury
was lean, and the lessened receipts from
customs dues raised increasing menace
of coming bankruptcy.
The Sherman law was next taken up,
and the charge made that its operation
caused the currency Of the nation to
be inflated and impaired. Distrnst crept
into business channels. gold went TO
Europe.
Greenbaclkism In Another Form.
It was, In another form, the triumph
of greenbackism The silver dollar was
made q legal tender, yet silver continued
to decline In the market. IA thousand
million dollars of silver certificates had
been issued, which the government
practically bound itself to redeem In
gold, because If 1t redeemed them In
silver, 1t dropped the currency at once
to q basis oi silver monometal allis1n, while
their redemption in gold would not only
impose ruinous loss, but il was prac-
tically impossible.
Mr.. Cleveland, ON his return to the
presidential Office, was confronted with
treasury with go. .000, 900 less of
money lii its safe, while deferred and
accumulated demands to be met. s75,-
600, 900 greater In amount than there
was revenue 10 meet them.
All this in place Of the fair prosperity
and universal confidence he had left be-
hind him.

ment. Every civilian viii be expected
TO attend in full dress. while the mill
tary men and members of the q. A. R.
win appear In their uniforms.
&c. Paul Wants the Next EDcampment.
The contest for the honor of holding
the next encampment will likely be d
hot one, although but two candidates
have 50 far appoared-St. Paul and
Louisville-the latter already has a rep
resentative on the ground and he is
confident of victory. But st. Paul has
done important work long ago, and
stands good show for getting the next
meeting.

FIGHTING FIRE ALL NIGHT.

Citizens of Barnum and Moose Lake Have
Very Marrow Escape.
DULUTH, Sept. 7.--All Tuesday night
the citizens of Barnum and Moose
Lake, about 30 and go miles ont ON the
st. Paul and Duluth, were out fighting
fire and Wednesday morning asked for
aid from Duluth. One of the Duluth
fire department captains and crew,
with / 200 feet of hose, were sent. All
day it was q fight for the safety Of the
the towns, but reports by wire from
both places at midnight say the towns
are safe unless the wind changes back
to northeast. The settlers were also
out fighting fires and number of
buildings were burned, but no lives are
reported lost.

LATEST At HINCKLEY.
Another Lot of Dead Bodies Found
in a Well, All Badly
Burned.
RELIEF BUILDING ENCLOSED.
Survivors Thank the Country in a
Public Address For Gen.
erous Relief.

PINE Cry, Mimi, Sept. THE
worst has been told at Hinckley. There
has been but one party Of dead discoy-
cred since since Wednesday night. They
were in cellar west Of Hinckley, and
it cannot be told whether there are three
or four bodies, SO bad are they burned.
The work Of draining the mill pond
Is progressing slowly, but the opinion is
that little will be revealed.
A huge building for relief offices and
shelter is almost enclosed.
Survivors Express Their Gratitude.
The survivors have authorized their
village organization to prepare an ex-
preston of their deep gratitude to the
people all over the United States who
have come 30 generously to the aid Of
the stricken people.
Supplies are coming into Pine City
rapidly and there is no lack in any de-
partment of the relief work.
Report About Further Relief.
The commission of citizens Of the
state. appointed by the governor, will
be at Pine City Friday for general in
spection Of the work that has been per-
formed, and careful estimate of the
total relief required and how and where
TO apply 1t.
Future Destiny Of the Town.
The Brennan Lumber company Of
Hinckley may possibly rebuild, and II
so, the town will resume it's former
prosperity. From the rough figures
furnished the engineers and superinten-
dents Of the lines damaged by the fires
it is estimated that the damages to all
railroad property, including damages to
telegraph lines and wheat in transit,
win be over $500, 600.

Business, politics and social functions
are merely side issues just now.
The one prevailing and aIl-absorbing
idea is to prepare q fitting reception for
the veterans who are coming here to
attend the sSth national encampment of
the Grand Army Of the Republic
People WIN Attend From Everywhere.
Applications for quarters are pouring
into the Office Of the local executive
council from all parts OF the country.
II was thought that the hard times
would affect the attendance at the COM
ing encampment. But this may be the
last encampment at which the old sol
der win parade In tens Of thousands.
Old age and It's infirmities are rapidly
oyertaking the heroes Of '6l-S5, and
many are no longer able to march long
distances, regardless Of storm or sun
shine. The route this year ID shorter
than at any previous encampment, be-
ing but two miles In length.
AEoney-nIaIers Arrive EARLY.
Strangers have already begun to ar
rive. The majority Of them 50 far are
men who expect to turn q penny or two
during the encampment.
A few old soldiers from distant points
have arrived, bringing with them their
wives and children.
In addition to the veterans and their
relatives, M enormous crowd Of visitors
arc expected, and the vanguard has al
ready reached here. They feel that
they may never again have the oppor-
tunity to see So many Of the nations
heroes massed in one place.

The first of the veterans, organiza.
fions to reach here Id scheduled to ar
rive on Saturday, and arrangements
have been made 10 meet them at the
