G. b. Hart of the Wheeling I7ltelH
gencer, who is candidate for the u
IS. Senate as a Republican, to succeed
who is the Republican candidate for
Congress in the Bird district, have been
making little canvass of West Vir
ginia together. We say little canvass
because they are not large men, be-
cause they have created little >distur-
bance, because they speak at the little
school houses and wayside places.
because their audiences have been
small, their arguments mild, and be
cause soon after the campaign ends no.
body will remember that they ever
spoke, Or that he ever saw them, and
when the election is over each will set
tie down to his old time occupation. and
the country will try and exist a while
longer without the services of either.
There are many prophets now SO of
old, Ever since Bryan made his speech
in New York they have been setting
dates ct which they assert that the
Bryan Boom would reach it's height
and then die out His sky rocket they
say is now as high as it can go, and
will soon come down stick. But these
predictions have, like those of jujg
ment day, been set often, but each
time something went wrong and all
had to be done over again. Next week
the stick will come down. they say.
But next week it will be higher than
ever So don't be alarmed when you
see printed that the Bryan Boom has
''busted" or when you hear that the
people are tired of it, or when an
orator points you to the descent of the
Bryan rocket. Wait till you see it
yourself and then You will know about
1t. Just now it is doing anything but
declining.

THE worst thing the Baltimore San
could say against the letter of accept
ance of VIM. J. Bryan was that it
sought to array class against class.
This comes with bad grace from PEG,
pie who employed Bourke Cochran to
speak, and who denounced the South
ern slave-owner and Western farmer,
in the bitterest speech that has yet
been made in the campaign.

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w 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, andi 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. It is therefore
all important, in order to get it's 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 shillful
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.

Msmphl. Conference Female Institute.

Memphis Conference Female Institute.
There is a movement on foot in the
Memphis Conference of the Methodist
Church to purchase the Memphis Con-
ference Female Institute at Jackson,
one OF the Oldest chartered female
schools in the country. DR.. r. J. Big
ham, of Nashville, Secretary of the
Board OF Education of the Southern
Methodist Episcopal Church, heartily
formulated by Rev. H. w. Brooks,
Chairman of the Board of Education of
the Memphis Conference.
The agreed value of the property as
appraised by q committee was $40, 900,
five thousand dollars of which is al
ready owned i1y the conference, leaving
balauce of S35, 900 to be paid to DR.. H.
w. Key in equal payments in one and
two years. The matter will be pre-
sented to the annual conference, which
cOnvenes in Jackson in November, for
its ratification or rejection.
The reverend gentlemen having the
enterprise in charge contemplate IN
creasing its facilities, extending its our
rieulum and making it the leading fe-
male university of the Southern Meth
odist Church.
The scheme was presented to the
board of trustees of the institute and
was unanimously approved. A commit
tee was appointed by the board to con-
fer with similar committee from the
conference with the view of raising the
necessary funds to complete the nego-
tiations. To elaborate, the idea is to
make the Memphis Conference Female
Institute to female education what Van
derbilt University is for male educa-
ton
