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
at;ve; 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
ncys, Liyer-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 GREAT CORN CROP.
Estimated It VIII Exceed by 100000, OOC
Bushels Any Previous Year.

Estimated VIII Exceed DIV SOU.OOO,OOO
Bushels Any Previous Year.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-The crop of corn
this year will be the largest that has
ever been known. 1t is estimated at
the present time that the yield will
exceed by 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels, the
record of any previous year. How
muck depends upon the corn crop is
realized by few. The corn crop will
bring more money, if marketed, than all
other grain products combined. The
estimated yield of corn for this year is
from 1850, 900, 600 to 800, OOO, 900 bush
els. At the present price, which is 35
cents for December or Nav delivery,
the crop would be worth $500, 600, 600
A decline of ) cents a bushel would
mean a difference of Sis. 600, O00 in the
value of the crop To emphasize the i'm
mensity of this production it may be said
that the state of Iowa alone will raise
enough corn this year to supply more
than five bushels to every man, woman
and child in the United States. Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri
and Kansas comprise what has been
termed the corn belt. This section fur
nishes nearly. if not quite. t|o-thirds OF
the entire corn product So favorable
have the reports become of an enor-
nous yield that the managers of the
various railroads that traverse the val.
leys of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers are already making arrange
ments and perfecting their equipment
for handling the crop The force of
workmen has been increased in a num-
Der of the shops, and all rolling stock
is being repaired and made available
for use in addition to new freight
cars that are being hurried rapidly in
construction

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Aug. 3.-The big
eest victory ever made by organized
labor was won yesterday in Pittsburgh

of the agreement are that the present

BUSINESS AT A sTANDsTlLL
The Usual Midsummer Relaxation of rrS de
Has Finally Arrived.


Has Finally Arrived.
NEW YORK, Aug. ar G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
There is perceptible halt which may
deceive if attributed to wrong causes.
Trade two months late in spring
pushed forward into July a large share
II business belonging TO April or May.
Seeing a rush for orders out of time
many imagined it would continue, and
hurried to give other orders. The jam
of two months business into one lifted
prices Then other orders came to
anticipate a further rise. But the mid
summer halt was inevitable, and it is
yet somewhat uncertain how much i'm.
provement will appear after it.
The general advance in many prod
ucts also causes reluctance to purchase,
and the distribution of the past half
year has been in part to make up for
stocks and individual supplies depleted
during the two years of ecoLomy. On
the other hand, there has been an enor-
nous increase in the working force
and a considerable increase in wages
paid, which enables people to buy
more freely. Strikes of some impor-
tance appear, but do not yet threaten
to last long, though a strike of coal
miners may for time affect business
somewhat extensively. The hopeful
spirit prevailing in nearly all markets
may find its warrant in spite of some
shortage in crops.
Wheat suddenly rose cents on bad
reports of condition, but has dropped
all the gain as the scantiness of ex-
ports is felt, shipments in July having
been only 3,49j, O64 bushels, -four in
cluded, from Atlantic ports, against
9,s65,633 last year. Western receipts
continue very small and farmers ap-
pear to be holding for higher prices.
Corn is shade stronger, although the
reports are decidedly favorable.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Susan Mcleod
was married to Daniel Mcleod il
Athens county, O. The husband served
Turing the war and shortly after. il
1869. obtained a divorce and married
again. He died in 1850. Eleven year,
after his death, on petition of the frs
wife, the decree of divorce was set aside
by order of the court. The first wife
then claimed a pension as soldiers
widow. Assistant Secretary Reynolds
reaches the conclusion that the action
of the court IN undertaking to annul
the soldiers divorce from the claimant
was illegal and the rejection of the
claim on the ground that claimant is
not the soldiers legal widow under
the law of Ohio is affirmed
