Gladness Comes

XNTith 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 a 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, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but If in need of a 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

REPUBLICAN PARTY SAYS SUFFER

Our opponents do not dare to say
that the gold standard is good thing,
because no party in the history of this
country has ever declared in favor of
a gold standard, and they do not dare
to say that the gold standard is a
bad thing and then tell seventy mil
lions of liberty loving people that they
have got to suffer until some foreign
nation brings them relief. (Cries,

In the course of his speech Gudger de-

METHODS OF SOME ATTORNEYS,
The methods used by the attorneys
in their efforts to save the necks OF
self. confessed murderers at various
times raises a question of legal ethics
in how far an attorney is allowed to 60
in defending a man whom he believes
to be guilty. A lawyer is justified to
take the case of a man whom he knows
to be guilty because every mar on trial
in this free land Is entitled to q fair
and impartial trial according to the es-
tabllshed rules of law and upon proper
evidence and the office of the lawyer
is to see that the rules of law are fol-
lowed and that no improper evidence
IS introduced. But it seems that here
the bound duty of the lawyer ends and
that any eff ,rt to thwart the ends of
justice by producing witnesses who
willingly perjure themselves, and all
other such practices is not only a vio-
lation of all legal ethics but a crime
against the community as we'll.

Valiant Thief atchers.

1t is reported that while the U. s.
marshal's posse and the troops were
camped about fifteen miles from Gray's
ranch, three of the marshal's posse
vent out one day 10 look after their
horses, leaving their arms in camp.
Two OF the desperadoes rode up to
them and commenced joking them
about hunting for robbers without
arms. The rustlers then rode away
and seeing the soldiers in camp, but
not suspecting that U. s. blue coats
were in the thief-takipg business, they
rode right into the camp. They asked
the soldiers what they were doing out
there, and on being told that the SOL
diers were after the bank and postofice
robbers, the f%reebooters put spurs to
their horses and flaw.
