With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper et-
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-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof 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 tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
I'll important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine artl-
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, laXatlves 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 laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest md is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.

Young man,-you are the one.
You, who think that it looks big,
and brave, and manly to curse; or
tote a pistol, or get drunk and yell
like a demon, or strut around doing
nothing and your last years clothes
not paid for. Sit down here, ]
want to say word to you. You are
Just starting out in life. You have
strength and your mind is bright
and susceptible of great improve
ment, but the culture you are
applying will only produce a crop of
tears or thorna. That liquor will
ruin your robust constitution and
finally dethrone your reason and
seLd you to the ditch; those bias
phemous words will soon lead you to
that degree where you will respect
mankind as little as you do your
God by uttering them; that pistol
in your pocket makes you feel big
but some time it will be ierked out
in passion and perhaps your best
friend killed, and then desolate
home, broken hearts, and disgrace;
your midnight revellings will soon
rob your cheek of its color and
wreck your health. But, you say,
you are not going that far? Well,
others have said that, but just
kept on, and where did they stop?
As every yard a boat passes over in
going down stream increases its
speed, so does every indulgence send
you further down the road to ruin.
Yes, you say, you must have a
good time while young" Well,
you will find out some day that you
must pay the fiddler. " Some day,
when looking back over life spent
in recklessness you will shed bitter
tears of regret. Stop today! The
world needs you-needs boys with
courage and principle who shun the
wrong and love the right.-Ex.
Dame fashion, has given it out
that it will be in bad form to ap-
pear now with a small waist. The
authority we read from says ladies
with small waist must quit lacing
and let their waist show at least
two inches large than formerly.
For instance a 22 inch waist must
advance to "a inches and so on up
the scale. This is good, and we hope
it is the forerunner of the abroga-
tion of the corset, one of wonan's
worst enemies from a hygiene stand
point.

GAS WE'LL ON FIRE.
The Flames Shoot Hundred Feet
Into the Air.

Independence, Kan. Sept. 2.-The
large gas well on the Hays farm, about
nine miles north of here, was discover
ed on fire yesterday and all last night
the heavens were agIow with the light
from the burning well.
The flames would shoot up nearly 100
feet in the air, and could be distinctly
seen from this city, which caused much
uneasiness among those who did not
know that the we'll was on fire. Every
effort has been made to get the fire un-
der control, but it is still burning. The
neighbOrs are becoming alarmed. The
well is owned by the Neodesha Gas
company, and has never been used. 1t
is thought that it was set on fire by
some of the competing companies.

of the procession appeared they were
ready for their part in the honoring Of
the soldier heroes, and General Walker

He Says There are Too Many Politi-

New York, Sept. 2.-Li Hung Chang

morning by a number of reporters who
selected one of their number as ques-
TONER. In response to question as to
whether the earl, who had said so many
pleasant things about Americans had
any unfavOra ble comments to make
His excellency replied that he could not
say anything about this country. He
added, however, that he thought there
were too many political parties here
and asked why the newspapers did not
bring them together.
When asked to make a comparison
between this country and England, he
declined, saying he had nothing unfa-
vora BILE to say of either. In answer to
a question as to what he had been most
interested in here, he replied that our tall
buildings were very wonderful, though
they would hardly do in China on ac-
count of the tYphOOns.

Ex-GOv. Roswell P. Flower said:
This gathering is notice to the
world that the Democratic party has
not yet surrendered to Populism and
anarchy. The true principles of De-
mocracy, expOunded by Jefferson and
exempliied through a century of ma

those principles have been repudiated
by a convention calling itself Demo-
cratic, but controlled by un-Democrat-
ic influences. Those are true Demo-
Gratis who remain true to the princi-
pies Of their party and who refuse to be
bound by party declarations which be-
tray party faiths and threaten both
party and country with disaster.
