the knowledge that so many forms or
sickness are not due to any; actual dis

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 1t is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore

fetal effects, to note when you Pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep

If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxar
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slxillful

then one should have the best, andwith
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

Saltus' phrases sound pretty, but they

prove that 1t IL people who are not

EXPENSIVE GREENBACKS.
They Have Been Condemned by All the
Eminent Financiers.

The elementary principles of national
finance are so little understood that Sec
rotary Carlisle's proposition to retire
the noninterest bearing greenbacks even
at the expense of issuing interest bear
ing bonds is treated by prominent pa
per in this city as something ridiculous,
the credit for which belongs exclusive
iy to the statesman from Kentucky. No
other man would have the nerve to
claim it. "
Yet in review article, already no.
ticed in these columns, that is set forth
as the idea of NJ. Leroy Bearlieu, and
under the leadership of President Theirs
it is the idea that France practiced from
1871 to 1879, when the last of the war
paper currency was retired, though that
drew per cent interest. Indeed there is
no difference of opinion among financiers
of standing in this country and abroad
upon this question. Mr.. Hugh McCul-
loch, a successful banker and one of the
few trained financiers we have had at
the head of the treasury, got congress to
begin the retirement of the greenbacks
before the reduction of the bonded debt,
but after a couple Of years the cheap
money men and the demagogues aud
the men who have full set of convic-
tons on all financial questions without
the least acquaintance with financial
history proved too much for him ard
stopped the work
Enough Of the history Of the green
back has been published in the last two
or three years, and the difficulty of keep
ing gold reserve for their redemption
has been great enough in the past three
years to convince any intelligent OBJ
server that the most expensive portion
Of the national debt is the portion which
draws 10 interest. New York journal

the age of "a years. The deceased
had been in very delicate health for a
number of years, and was confined to

had been apparent to his children the
past few weeks that he could not re-
cover and the end was daily expected,
Mr. Jones came to this township in the
sos from Carnarvanshire, Wales, mar
rying Miss Elizabeth Roberts, of the
same place, the latter part of the year.
He engaged in farming until he was
compelled by old age to retire, his sons
taking the work where he left off.
The family surviving consists of
nine children-six sons and three
daughters. Two children, Daniel, Jr,
and an infant child were called to
their Maker, some years ago, and only
last August did the reckoning angel
call the dear mother who had so nobly
and heroically fought the worlds bat
ties by the side of the husband and
father. The sons are Thomas and J.
Henry, of Highland, w. J.. Jones, of
Spencer, Ia., Robert Jones, Of Milford,
Ia, John and Charles Jones, Of Sierra

neral.
The mortal remains of the deceased

the dead by large concourse of
friends attesting the esteem in which
he was held as n citizen and man.
The funeral WAS held from the Metho-
dist church, where Rev. Sheppard, of
Montf0rt conducted the services. An
able sermon WAS delivered by Rev,
Shophard, in which he paid Il fitting
tribute to the virtues Of the deceased
