Haute, Ind, that Senator Voorhees, is
rapidly failing in health and would
be unable to take any part in the pre-
sent campaign is received with doubt
by his friends in Washington. His son
James, who is here, speaking of the re-
port, said to-day:
"The statement that the Senator is
rapidly failing is untrue. / cannot
conceive how so startling and totally
unreliable statement could gain cur
rency. The Senator's health has re-
turned to him, and he is reported by
his physician at Mackinac to be pre-
pared to resume his political campaign
in Indiana this fall. My father has
been a devoted slave to duty all his life,
and should his silence during n pro-
tracted season of rest and recupera-
ton be imputed to withdrawal from or
failure in political life, it would be
a grave injustice to permit such an
understanding of the case to stand"

Gladness Comes

With 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 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 IL
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which 1t 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. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV 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.

THE TRANSFER NUISANCE.

The transfer system at the junction of
Market and Powell streets has been in
operation sufficiently long for an estimate
of its value to be made. In all fairness, it
should be considered that as yet the peo-
pie are not thoroughly used to it; that the
hardships and Inconvenience arising from
it may be Modified by time, and that the
human family has happy disposition to
submit to evils which there is no earthly
power to correct. Under no circumstances
of habit or custom, however, can the system
be otherwise than exceedingly annoying.
This is how the matter must always be
regarded from the citizens point of view
There is another side to the story--that
OF the street railway company. The sys-
tenn was established for the alleged reason
that passengers approaching the junction
with no intention of pursuing their Jour-
ney beyond it took transfers and gave
them outright to the newsboys assembled
at the junction. The boys then gave
away the transfers to purchasers of papers,
so that two persons were enabled to travel
over the company's roads on one fare
The company pretended to have made a
careful estimate of the number of trans
ters thus fraudulently imposed upon it.
and arrived at the conclusion that it would
be cheaper to maintain four or five trans
fer agents at the junction and compel the
City to furnish number of policemen at
its own expense to prevent outbursts of
anger over the impossibiity of the transfer
agents to handle the business. 1t will be
observed that the main point in the mat
er was not taken into account for a mo-
ment by the company. That was the con-
venience of the public. The scenes of
crowding, scrambling, swearing, hustling
and bruising of women and the tearing of
their clothes, to say nothing of the confu-
sio n and errors and loss Of money on the
part of the people who had not mastered
the intricacies of the system, found no
place in the consideration of the company.
That the revenues of the company have
been largely increased by the new arrange
ment cannot be doubted. Aside from the
| extra nickels it secures through errors and
miscon ceptions on the part of the passen.
gers, there are undoubtedly many who
would rather pay an extra fare than enter
| the scramble for transfer ticket at the
| junction. That is the whole case as it
| stands at present. The one great princi-
pie involved in it is that the people, either
individually or in municipal organization,
have not the least word to say in the prem
| ises. That is the one serious feature of
| the matter.
