NE/ith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle 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 condi-
tion 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 debilitating the
organs on which it acts tits therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
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
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.

90S Broadway, Feb. IL. I
William Riley, whom all the citizens of
Redwood Canyon speak of so highly, made
a mistake last night. He was at Hay
wards and the cautiousness which has
marked his career for many years was not
followed. In the end he may be called
upon to provide Daniel Stuart of Hay
wards with horse and pay bill incurred
for repairing damaged buggy.
Riley was in town all yesterday after
noon and toward evening he commenced
to tinge some of the most prominen. sights
of Haywards delicate rouge. AS time

eventually changed into lustrous Grim.

When advised to go home Mr.. Riley of
Redwood Canyon did as he was told, but
by some mistake he jumped into Dan
owner could prove the mistake to the fee
ing Riley. Stuart jumped into another
buggy and gave chase. It was wild ride.
The enthusiastic Riley saw Stuart behind
him, and being in the best of humor for a
spin, and knowing that he was on the
nome stretch, ne let out the relnS with
marked liberality. Stuart also whipped
up, and as his driving was more steady
than that of Riley he overlook the Red
wood man in the canyon.
Then the trouble commenced Just how
b ostilities began has not been learned
beyond the shadow of doubt but a few
minutes after the meeting Mr.. Riley was
regretting that he had not taken the right
rig. So excited were the two men that
their spirit was communicated to the team
that Mr. Riley had taken from Haywards.
The horses fumed and paved and tinally
took to their heels, and half an hour later
dashed at full speed down the main street
of Haywards.
At the corner of B and Castro streets the
team ran onto the sidewalk, and one of the
horses disappeared down the cellar en-
trance to the Louvre saloon. 1t was in
stantly killed and the other was badly
injured.
Mr.. Rily took advantage of the oppor-
tunity afforded by Mr.. Stuart attending to
his runaway horses to jump into the other
buggy and go home. Mr.. Stuart, being left
alone in the dark and the canyon, had to
walk back to Haywards. When he arrived
he heard of the accident to his team, and
now he declares that he wants new
horse, and Riley hints at recompense for
battery.
The two men are well known, and the
affair is being discussed in half the county.

word of explanation. You know that in
the middle of June last you celebrated
with me my silver jubilee. On that occa-
sion you gave me several very fine gifts,

them, not so much for their value, as for
the expression of your love they repre-

your congratulations. Thank God, I am
getting along with the salary received.

occasion his pariskioners presented him
with a purse of $3.50. While in Paris he
bought beautiful statue, which cost $3.50,

Requiring the Conductors to Give Bond.

All passenger conductors on the Sea-
board Air Line will be required to file
bouds for the faithful discharge of duty
with the management of the road
Orders to this effect, accompanied by
the blank bond, with instructions to
execute and return to headquarters
within ten days from last Monday have
been sent to the men.
In the ranks of the conductors of the
system the Inauguration is a new one,
and dissatisfaction on the part of some
of them has resulted although no open
protests have been made, and the
officials of the road claim that no know
ledge of a kick has come to them,
The surety on these bonds is the
American Surety company Of New
York, and the amount of each is $500.
The Atlanta Journal says that the
conductors say they will comply wit b
the order, but under protest. They say
they see no reason for introducing this
feature among them, the more espec-
tally so because for the seven years the
system has been in operation there has
never, to their knowledge, been a
thought of introducing it before, and
no necessity, as far as they can see,
why it should be done now.
They claim it puts them at the mercy
of the surety company or if they
should refuse to accept a man he in
would lose his place, as
the S. A. L. officials will recognize no
other bondsmen, and will keep no one
in their employ who is not so bonded.

Ohio Democracy for Free SILVER.

CINCINNATI, May 31.--There is much
comment have today over the re- e-organi-
zation last night of the Hamilton
county Democratic committee. Chair
man Linneman is a gold-standard man
friend of Cleveland, Carlisle and At
torney-General Harmon. A resolution
was adopted appointing James S.
Myers, Thomas Nictor, John Juelg,
Henry Jansen and John Sheehan, all
silver men, to make the apportionment
of wards and townships for delegates to
the Democratic State convention, to be
held at Columbus, June 23rd.
AS this apportionment has always
been fixed by the chairman, Mr. Lime
man announced before the vote was
taken that if the resolution was adop-
ted be would resign. The resolution
was carried-26 to 12-and Linneman
resigned. Vice-C Chairman Keating was
put in his place. This is accepted as
an indication that the two Congress
sionai districts in Hamilton county,
which have eighty-five votes in the
State convention, will send free silver
delegates to the Columbus convention
favorable to John R. Mclean and other
anti-administratio Democrats for dele
gates at large.
Rural districts have been instructing
for free silver and this county was con-
sidered the stronghold Of the gold
standard Democrats.
