the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and IS
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts 1t is therefore

WANTS OVER TIME.
New Jersey Minister Believes He Is
 Worthy of His Hire

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The Rev. Montgomery Hunt Throop of St. Matthews P. E. church, Jersey City, has begun an action in the supreme court of New Jersey against his vestry- men for $500 due on his salary. This surprised the vestrymen, but when they read a bill of claims against the dio- cese for $20,000 for over time during the rectorship of three years they were dunn bfounded. t.
 The bill of claims was submitted by the rector of the diocesan committee. Bishop Starkey and the vestrymen have seen it. Vestryman Croceran says bill for overwork by a minister is unprecedented and not at all likely to be allowed. It is said MT. Tbroop contemplates a suit against the dio- cese. and consequently against the bishop for pay for the overwork claimed, if the bill it not allowed.

R. B. Wells of the s. F., P. & P, Is
 Booming Our Country.

R. B. Wells is doing everything in his power to herald abroad the won derful productiveness of our soil and climate The following from the Pueblo Chieftan is evidence of what MT. Wells is doing in that respect:
 ''The Chieftan is again indebted to R. B. Wells, assistant general manager of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Railway company, Prescott, Ariz., for a fine sample of peaches, the product of land adjacent to the railway It is surprising and pleasant to learn by such an object lesson as this, of the great resources of Arizona, territory that one-half the people living outside her borders regard as uninhabitable, the camping ground of the Apache and the festive jack rabbit. Enterprise and irrigation are at the bottom of the success attained in the cultivation of fruit in the territory. The peaches are excellent, possessing fine flavor and are very large, many of them weighing ten ounces. The Chieftain extends thanks to MT. Wells for the favor, and to B. w. Gillett, general agent of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix, Phoenix, Ari- zona, for forwarding the package.

ONE WAY 10 SUBDUE HER Using Her Ear for a Gus
 pIQOr. She Seeks Divorce from a
 Cruel Husband. Where Wives are in Demand Who
Where Wives are in Demand Who Could Believe that a Utah Man
 Could Do Such Things

Salt Lake Tribune: In the great multitude of divorce cases that are annually filed in Utah, almost every devised by cruelty inclined and inhu- man husbands can be found and set out by unhappy wives who pine for freedom, but it has remained for Mrs. Sarah A. West to make the most novel allegation of all.
 Mrs. West alleges in her complaint, which was placed on file yesterday, that her husband, James West, led her to the altar on December 25, 1875, and that he has frequently beaten and abused her.
 Ut appears from the complaint that Mrs. West bore these indignities with the best grace possible, but when her husband began in July last to use her ear as cuspidor she rebelled and is now seeking divorce.
 Other allegations are made to the effect that West is the possessor of violent temper and a sullem disposi- tion, and that when angry he has often inflicted personal violence upon his wife. Upon frequent occasion, it is alleged, Mr. West has left wife at home alone while she was sick and in an almost helpless condition. At one time, Mrs West further alleges, her husband brought woman to the house The newcomer was promptly ordered to vacate by Mrs. West, but in- stead of acceding to the demand, she shied an iron and other missiles at the mistress of the house, and although the husband was present he refused to protect his wife from the assaults
 On July d2 of the present year Mrs. West continues, her husband brutally kicked her on the right leg and vio- lently threw her on the floor, after which he struck her upon the arm and body. Then, to cap the climax, hs spit in his wife's ear and for two hours continued to act in cruel and disa- greeable manner toward her.
 In conclusion, Mrs. West alleges that at the time of the marriage she was l possessed of some means. while her husband was in debt, but that by their l joint efforts they have accumulated
 property to the value of S15,O00, all of
 which is in the defendants name, ex- cept about $2000 worth. The property consists of real estate and nine tene- ment houses in this city, together with
 real estate in Roscoe, Dak., Manila,
 Ia, Osage, Colo, and Salida, Colo. In addition to a decree of divorce,
 Mrs. West also prays that she be
 granted permanent alimony, consisting of either money or property.

 indignant Wave Came.

CHII1L1COTIHE, Aug. 24.-At the meeting of the Republican league clubs here this week it was intended to swing a huge painting slurring Bryan and picturfng him as an anarchist, but it was suppressed by popular local sen- timent.

The prostrate goddess had the words "U. s. Credit inscribed on her bosom, over which was a red splotch representing blood oozing from e wound. It was adapted from pie tnre of the same type recently printed in Judge and entitled ''The Assassin. y The picture was vividly executed by a talented, but wayward, tramp painter named Morgan, who was recently con- fined in the Gallatin county jail on a charge of stealing a pair of trousers.
 When the committee on arrange ments was about to put up the picture John T. Mohrs, a furniture dealer and member of the committee, said to his associates, "You may put that picture up, but I will regard it as a personal insult and affront to myself, to every body who intends to vote for MT. Bryan, and every individual member of the Democratic party will view it in the same light" Some of the members of the committee insisted that the pie ture should be put up, but when the facts became known it created a wave of indignation that prevented it.
