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
alive; 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

ANOTHER INVASION.
AMERICAN BALL TOssERS TO GO
To AUSTRALIA.
Two Teams viii Be Made Up of the
Star Players of America, and
They May Stop at the Big West
erp Towns.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. lin the win
ter of 1867, Australia is to have an
other invasion of American ball play
ers, similar to the trip taken by the
team under the management of al
Spalding several years ago. At the
head of the management of the tour
will be James H. Manning, manager of
the Kansas City baseball club, and
Frank Selee, manager of the Boston
ne tional league team, and these names
alone will be guarantee of success. I'M
mediately after the close of the play
ing season of 1885, Manning and Selee
will make up two teams, composed of
star players of the national league and
will begin the tour by playing a num-
Der of games in this country. The
opening game will be played in Kansas
City about the first Sunday in October,
1896. From Kansas City the teams will
work westward, putting in a week be-
tween here and Denver, playing in the
more important Kansas cities. The
second Sunday game will be played at
Denver, and another week will be put
in between Denver and San Francisco,
where the aggregation will stop long
enough to play several games between
themselves and with picked California
teams. 1t is not the intention to take
two teams to Australia, so one of the
teams will be disbanded at San Fran
cisco, and a picked team of ten men
in charge of Manager Selee will sail
for Australia about November 1, 1896.
Manager Manning is now in cores
pondence with leading people interest
ed in baseball in Australia, and he has
already received enough assurances
from them of the interest such a team
would create to make him certain that
it will be a great success. 1t is the
intention of Manager Manning, accom-
panied by his wife, to go in advance-of
the team to australia, and prepare for
it's coming. He does not go into the
scheme with the idea of making great
deal of money out of it, but believes
even if he loses a little it will be
great advertisement for baseball.
