With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ieal 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 a constipated condl-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
lv removes. That is why it is the onl y
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 debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
iii 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 regrlar, laXatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actgal disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest nd is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Among Some of the Fairest Scenes

Among Some of the Fairest Scents
On this continent and in the trop-
les, malaria poisons the atmosphere
with its pestlleutial breath, sowing
the seeds of disease and death in
every direction, 1t is in such local
tiles that the preventive and reme-
dial qualities of Hostetters StOm-
ach Bitters are most cOnspicuously
shown. For every form of malaria
it is a signally efficacious remedy,
and conquers disorders of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels, remedies in
activity of the kidneys, and coun-
teracts the weakness and lack OF
stamina which invites disease by
leveling the barrier which vigor-
GUS operation of the digestive and
secretive organs opposes to it. No
defensive medicine in use has stron-
ger concentrations in professional
headquarters both for purity and
remedial qualities,

CHARLES c. BUCKNER SHOT.

On Friday evening about dark
C. c. Buckner's little boy went home
from Stevens store crying, and re-
ported that a boy much larger than
him had jumped on him and whip
ped him. Mr.. Buckner repaired to
the store to see what was the mat
ter, and finding Joe Roberts the
boy there, asked him about the
matter, and told him he would wear
him out or something to this effect,
starting toward the boy as he said
it. The boy ran behind the counter
and raised a pistol and fired at Mr..
Buckner, the shot taking effect in
the arm, which is not a dangerous
wound but will be a painful one.
The boy was arrested and put
under guard, for preliminary ex-
animation.

Is the number drawn from the box
at Sharpe & Brewers, in detelmi-
ming to whom they should give the
fifty dollar trunk.
Three months ago they put on
exhibition a fine leather trunk,
which they proposed to give to
some Que of their customers on the
4th of July, which was to be de-
termined by the one holding the
corresponding number to the one
drawn from the box.
Yesterday the reporter was on
hand to witness the drawing, and
see that no legerdemain was
practiced, as he was an interested
holder of several tickets.
Master Francis Edwards, son OF
ex-Mayor John G. Edwards, was
chosen to draw the ticket from the
box.
It proved to be number SIT, and
out of all the ticket holders present
not a one could show up the lucky
ticket. If you have this ticket
tucked away IN your vest pocket,
take it to Sharpe & Brewer and
get the trunk, 1t is very fine
one.
This excellent house has sold over
81 900 worth of gents furnishings
since the trunk was put up. 1t is a
live firm, aud very popular with all
of our people.

ON CHANGE
Business Transacted and Prices Paid a,
Home and Abroad

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The stock mar
ket today was of holiday proportions, but
the days dealings were fairly well dis
tributed. There was barely a trace of
outside interest and as usual recently,
aside from the specialties the net changes
were mainly trivial. The market was r.
regular but heavy in tone on the unfavor-
able exhibits of earnings, especially by the
granger lines and liquidation in the spe-
cialties. Prices sagged sharply during the
early earnings under renewed aggressive
Mission house orders and the apathy of
the interests usually identified with the
bull side gave the traders clear field.
London quotations for American securi-
ties came lower and the foreigners also ap-
peared to favor sales In this market to
moderate extent. The movement In the
railway list was almost generally narrow
and after a decline in the principal shares
of half to one per cent, supporting orders
were executed and caused a rallying move
ment. The higher priced industrials were
conspicuous for exceptionally wide huc-
tuationS, which were considered TO be
largely due to manipulation. Toward the
close an improved tone was generally ap-
parent, and the market left off steady.
The bond market was dull and irregular,
but the changes were narrow, except in a
few of the unusually inactive issues. The
sales We're $1266.000. Governments We're
strong and fractionally higher on pur-
chases of $4,000. Silver certificates were
neglected but steady on sales of $4,000.
The bulls got after the wheat again to-
day and lifted prices to the highest point
of the year. Opening at SS12. December
advanced steadily to 90la, which is the
high point of the year touched November
49, The feeling among local traders was
intensely bulish and few of them think
the present advance will eliminate this
side of dollar wheat in New York. In
fluential factors in today's advance We're
strong cables rumored unfavorabe Ar
gentine news, light spring wheat receipts
and scarcity of cash wheat at all points.

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS

Cultivating ten acres eight miles from
the station. | buy two tons OF fertilizer
for $40. This quantity makes eight
loads for one horse, and six hours are
required for a trip The time of myself
and horse is worth 60 cents per load
make 800 crates of vegeta bles, which
require seventy-one trips to get them
to the station at a cost of $42.60. On
hard roads ] could haul my $40 worth
of fertilizer in four trips of four hours
each, at cost of 81 so. ! could haul
my 500 crates of vegetables in thirty-five
trips of four hours each, ait a cost Of
$1i. On the sand roads one horse is re-
quired seventy-one days to ship my
crop, which is a longer time than the
shipping season, hence Tam compelled
to keep two horses during the year, or
hire from my neighbors at busy time,
The cost OF keeping the second horss
may be safely estimated at s25. So much
OF my time is used in my trips to town
that during three months of the year
/ am compelled to hire an extra hand,
which costs me about $45. The fore-
going items will suffice to show that bad
roads cost on my ten-acre crop S101.S0,
being a tax of over $40 per acre.-Corre.
