The latest discovery at Redwood
Falls lays the efforts of all former
prospectors in the shade, says the fun
ny man of the St. Peter Tribune. A
few days ago, as the story goes, an
Irishman commenced digging tubu-
lar well, and at a depth of 81 feet
struck vein of precious stones, such
as diamonds, pearls, rubies, moss ag-
ates and sapphires. The man on whose
place they were found, one and half
miles from town, brought bushel in
to the village to show; they were q
mixed assortment, and valued by the
millions. A stock company is to be
organized with capital of seventy
five millions of dollars. So the report
goes.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment xhen
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
thc'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 awrtect lax
alive; cttectually 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
ncys, 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.
ufacturcd by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

No Substitutes

For Royal Baking Powder. The Royal"
is shown by all tests, official, scientific and prac-
teal stronger purer. and better in every way
than all other Baking Powders. Its superiority
is privately acknowledged by other manufac-
t-rers, and we'll known By all de;lers.
If some grocers try to sell another baking
powder in place of the "Royal,' it is because of
the greater profit This of itself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the Royal" To give greater
profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and
to less it be made with cheaper and
