AJith a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical Ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante 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 a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs prompt
~ 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
all 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, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
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 gives most general satisfaction.

Mr.. George A. Merritt Explains tho Cause
of His Wife's Sudden Death.
LONDON, Nov. 18.--The management
of the Hotel Cecil continued making tho
greatest mystery over the sudden death
Of Mrs, Alma Merritt, the wife of Mr..
George A. Merritt, who died at the
hotel on Saturday night under circum.
STANCES which led to the circulation of
@ report that she had committed suicide
A representative of the Associated Press
had an interview with Mr.. Merritt, who
said:
81 am glad Of the opportunity Of sta
ting the facts in the case, as the reports
published are entirely wrong. We have
been travelling on the continent for the
past six months and our New York res.
idenee is at the Barkeley. Ninth street
and Fifth avenue. My wife, who was
Roumanian, arrived from Paris last
week. She was suffering from an Ill
cerated tooth and dentist furnished
her with some cocaine. which indirectly
caused her death, as it induced epilepsy,
which was chronic with her. We pur-
posed sailing for New York on Satur-
day next. I shall return home as soon
as possible"

The change Of feeling in the iron trade
is fully confirmed and the tone of the
market is decidedly stronger. The de-
nand is good and prices continue to
have an upward tendency. The output
at the iron furnaces has been largely in

north side resorts, which used to be fire.
quented by the leaders Of the anti Gro

fused to say anything about his journey
ings or movements during the half
dozen years which have elapsed since he
fled after the discovery of DR.. Cronin's
body in the manhole of the Lakeview
sewer.
Cooney is stopping at house on the
north side, near his former haunts His

lice do not want him, and there is no
reason why he should longer avoid
Chicago.
Patrick Cooney. better known as

Mrs. Andy Fey accused of being deeply
implicated in the Cronfn murder. In
her story Of the crime, Mrs. Foy told
how the eonspirators had selected her
husband, by lot, to perform the murder.
Cooney, she claimed, being unmarried,
agreed to take her husbands place, since
Foy had wifi and large family Of
children
