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, Syrup of Figs, prompt

everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial

Mr.. Keating went to the Chicago Ma

efforts to have that delegation seated,
together with the debilitating influence
OF the Chicago climate, so taxed his en-
ergies as to bring on serious attack
OF typhoid fever. After leaving the
Chicago convention he went to Niagara
and then to New York, where he re-
mained for few days and then started
on his return home. He was greatly
fatigued and seemed to be suffering
from nervous collapse after the ex-
citement of his convention work. When
he reached home two weeks ago he was
very i'll and failed steadily until last
night. when a hemorrhage, superin-

Y. N. C. ASSOCIATION.
Close of an Important Teeting of the
international Committee.

GENEVA, Aug 14-An important
meeting of the international Central
Committee of the Young Mems Christ
sessions in Geneva last night. This
committee is appointed by the worlds
convention, which represents all the as
sociations now numbering 800, with
a total membership of SOC, 900, of which
400 associations with 265, 900 members
are in America.
Encoura ging reports of the work in
various countries were presented by the
different representatives, showing
marked progress since the jubilee con-
vention in London in 1894. 49~i
A number of important questions re-
lating to the growth and improvement
of the work, more particularly In con-
tinentai countries, were carefully con-
sidered Among the resolutions adopted
which was adopted by a convention held
in Paris in 1885, and which is known to
association men in America as the
Portland test of active membership. The
Paris basis is recognized by all the as
sociations affiliated in the worlds alli-
ance, but is practically disregarded in
some continental countries where nom
inal membership in the State church is
substituted for it.
1t was voted to hold the next worlds
conference in Basle, Switzerland, in
August, 1898, after which the meeting
adjourned sine die.

FUSION IN WASHINGTON.
Democrats, Populists and Silver Re-

ELLENSBURG CWash.), Aug. IL
The State Conventions of the Demo-

Wednesday morning last, are still in
session. The Democrats and Free Sill
Yer Republicans this afternoon appoint
ed fresh committees to confer with the
PopulistS, the original committees Sc
lected for this purpose being unable to
accomplish anything. The right to NOM
mate a candidate for Governor, as well
as eight Of the sixteen State officials,
has been conceded to the Populists, but
they demand still further concessions,
which the other factions were not dis
posed to grant.
At $50 o'clock tonight the Populists
conceded the nomination of one addi-
tional Congressman to the Democrats,
and the prospect of fusion was more
hopeful.
James Hamilton Lewis, Democratic
candidate for Gubernatorial honors,
was given the nomination for Congress
(by the joint action of the Democratic,
Populist and Free Silver Republicans)
at to-night's session, and H. n. Cation
and I. n. Maxwell were named as Pres
idential Electors. John 3. Reavis of
Yakima received the nomination for Su-
preme Judge, thus completing the Dem
ocratic portion of the ticket.
