that the two are neighbors on Tennessee

growth OF gum trees which kept the

sails from turning. Russell proposed to
Stricklin that he would cut the trees
down and clear up the rubbish If the lat

COYOTE CLAIMS.
Prairie Wolf Scalps Figure Largely in
the Deal.


SACRAMENTO, Oct. 12.-The state
board of examiners held short meeting
today relative to coyote scalp claims and
passed a resolution concerning the
same. These claims are catered all
over the state and an appropriation by
the last legislature for their payment
was vetoed by Governor Budd on the
ground that there was evidence that
many of the claims were fraudulent,
and he wanted more time in which to
investigate them. The board of examin-
ers claims to have in it's possession
overwhelming evidence of the fact that
thousands Of prairie wolves scalps
were shipped into the state and present.
ed to county clerks as coyote scalps.
This information is in the shape of the
original boxes in which scalps were
shipped, together with the shipping re-
ceipts.
The board has decided to meet on No
vember 12 to proceed with an honest in
vestigation of the claims. Governor
Budd says he thinks the fraudulent
claims will aggregate $4,000.

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge, that so many forms or
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
1v removes. That is why 1t 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 debilitating 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,

ether remedies are then not needed. 1T
afflicted with any actual disease, one

physicians, but if in need of laxative,
