Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to 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
ali important, in order to get its bene-
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, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skllltul
physicians, but if in need Of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and rives most general satisfaction.

this will be confined to such hours as
the light current is turned on, but later
it may be extended to an all day and
night service. A new line for this pur-
pose will be run through the business
portion of town, and several, merchants
and saloon men are arranging to have
electric fans placed in their establish
ments. Condy o. Boyle has already
procured fans and will have his saloon
fitted up with them as soon as the com
pany can give the power.
Several places which use power are
ready to do away with steam engines
and boilers and equip their plants with
electric motors when the company gives
day current. The machinery in the
new building to be erected for the
manufacture of the Beagle mine names
will likely be run by electricity, and the
bottling establishments of town are
anxious to give up steam.

A canvass of officials of the leading

their prices.
The new schedule is: Crate, So. so; egg

ATTACKED BY TYROLERS.
George Gemeinder, of Stockton, Had a
Narrow Escape Monday Evening.

The latest victim of evil-doers i.
George Gemeinder, of Stockton, says the
Hazleton Standard. George on Monday
went over to Sandy Run, in search Of
employment, and on the way back called
on some friends at Freeland. 1t was
late when he left there, and upon reach
ing a point on the highway between
Oakdale and Stockton about o'clock in
the evening he was commanded to halt
by three burly Tyrolers.
He realized that he was in the hands
of highwaymen, but this did not deter
as he did was seized by one of them
and thrown on the highway, breaking
his hat and tearing his coat and vest
into shreds.
just as they were about to complete
the job, one of the gang having him by
the hair and ready to strike, DR.. George
Wentz and his hostler happened along,
They noticed the commotion and brought
the carriage to stop.
The highwaymen at once realized that
to wait would mean detection and they
took to their heels and escaped. Had
it not been for this, Mr.. Gemeinder would
have been badly used up and perhaps
murdered. Mr.. Gemender was unable
to recognize his assailants, other than
that they were foreigners.
A badly sprained wrist and a very sore
Uranium were the only injuries sustained
by Mr.. Gemcinder.
