rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that 50 many forms OF
sickness are not u to any actual DIS
ease, but simply to q constipatcdcondi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupo of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andi 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
all important, in order to get its benc-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with n actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but if in need of u laxative,

NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS.

Only One Hundred and Forty Claims Filed

CRooKsToN, Mimi, May 16.-The
rush at the land office, while large, did
not meet expectations. Many stood in
line, and when they reached the plat
books found that their claim had been
taken. Some of the more valuable ones
had been asked for by as high as 10 ap-
plicants. Many times no second choice
had been made; only one set of papers
were ready for the Offering. The ne
suit was that the number in line was far
in excess of the number Of filings. One
hundred and forty claims were fled. 1t

several days when larger number will
be offered by those who thought best to
trust to priority of settlement
