to trust the fate of the vessel in their
inexperienced hands, l have stayed on

Reynolds with unusual cordially In his

Gludness Comes

With 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 of
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
1y removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's 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's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
. chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
edand gives most general satisfaction.

a y n L
COS Broadway, Jan. 90.
Professor Semati ]. Won Hirsch, a we'll
known local musician, was arrested to-day
for cruelty to his stepdaughter, Miss Allie
Stiner. He has frequently, it is alleged,
beaten the girl, who is Is years old, in a
cruel manner, and the Chi!dren's Society
caused the musicians arrest.
Miss Stiner has resided with her mother
and stepfather at 16 Telegraph avenue.
The mother of the girls slightly demented,
it is said, and was at one time in an
asylum. Owing TO her weakened mental
condition she has been unable to interfere
when Won Hirsch beat her daughter, and
for her mothers sake the girl has never
complained.
The state of affairs has been known to
the neigh bors for some time, but came to
the ears of Mrs. Prescott recently. As
soon as she heard OF it she commenced an
investigation, and this morning decided to
take the girl and have the stepfather ar
rested.
Accordingly she went to the school and
took the daughter, and together they went
before Prosecuting Attorney Moore and
swore to a complaint.
The girl is in appearance gentle, and
those who have interested themselves in
her case say she does not belle her looks.
On the other hand, they assert that Won
Hlrsch IS tyrant, and they tell tales OF
the young lazy being covered with black
and blue marks made by the heavy cane
with which the stepfat er would beat her
Mrs. Prescott has taken charge OF the
girl, and the professor Is under arrest.

NO WORD OF MISS PARKER
The Missing Girl Has Now
Been From Home Over
a Week.
WAS NOT ALWAYS HAPPY.
An Unfortunate Speculation in Bust
ness May Have Affected Her
Mind.
WAS NOT ALWAYS HAPPY.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANc1sco CALL


The story of the mysterious disappear
ance of Miss Annie Parker of the First
Baptist Church, told exclusively in this
mornings CALL, created profound sensa-
ton throughout the city, and especially in
church circles. Although all efforts to
locate the missing young woman have
been redoubled, nothing has been learned
by the family and the affair is as much a
mystery as ever.
a. 2. Parker, the brother of the missing
girl, has been telegraphing and telephon-
ing to all points where it is thought any
information might be obtained, but he
learned nothing. The police on both
sides of the bay have received descriptions
OF Miss Parker and several detectives are
following 'clews, but the case is SO COM
pletely wrapped in mystery that there is
absolutely no lead to follow.
1t was learned to-day that Miss Parker
was frequently subject to periods of moodi-
ness, although her relatives have not
noticed anything of the kind at home.
Everything is as much a mystery as
ever" said Mrs. Parker this afternoon.
"Since Annie left, week ago tonight, we
have been entirely in the dark as to her
whereabouts. We Kept the AFFAIR secret
as long as possible and hoped, of course,
to find her long before this.
eve cannot yet discover a single reason
that would throw any light on her disap,
pearance. We can look back now and
think that we noticed some periods when
her mind seemed to be engEossed with
something and she did not look particu
larly happy, but l do not think we should
ever have thought of it had it not been fol-
recent developments.
Mr.. Parker furnished the following de
scription of his sister in the hope that j
might lead TO her identity:
Height, 5 feet inches; weight, 125 pounds
brown hair and eyes. She wore black sailo
hat trimmed with blue and short black Goa
with large sleeves. Her dress was of brown
striped pattern.
Some of Miss Parker's friends said this
evening that the missing woman recently
started dressmaking establishment thai
did not prove the success that was antici
pated. This might have depressed Mis-
Parker's spirits and have acted seriousl,
on her mind. The family will not discus
the matter at all.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Is the story true that thousands Of
laboring men are wearing Mckinley but
tons who intend to vote for Bryan? We
rather guess not. The laboring man is
not that sort of hypocrite, if we cor
rectly estimate him, and it is an insult to
him tossay otherwise.
Mr.. Mckinley said: "Good money
never made hard times" Mr.. Bryan.
said: "Money can be too good" Will
the people Of this country have difficulty
in determining which is right?
Among the best speeches being made
in this campaign are those coming from
that little tw0-story porch at Canton.
1t requires no argument to see why
Bryan and his followers do not want to-
talk about protection.
1t is the mills and not the mints that
millions of workers want opened. Stop

The most pressing money question Is,
that of wages for the people and rev.

Bryan is now being called the business
killer. He meanders throug ID the Last

factories close in his wake.
After reading Bryan's wool record In
Congress- the farmer who votes for him
must either have forgiving disposition
or in his wits be on the wrong side Of
the non compos mentis boundary line.
A farmers illustration of the 5O-cent

think that farmers are not watching pub

Effect of Imitation.
SENATOR LODGE.

Well, it is easy to mark up prices. A
man can 60 over his stock of goods in
the morning and mark them up with q
blue pencil; but you cannot 50 over the
salaries and the wages of this country
with a blue pencil in the morning and
mark them up.
During our war, when we had an in
Hated currency and prices rose, the aver
age price of commodities rose 80 per
cent: labor rose about 40 per cent.
There was q net loss to labor of about
SO per cent, net reduction Of wages to
that extent. Labor always, in case Of
q Deprecated currency, lags behind 9TH
er prices. 1t is inevitable; all history
and all experience shows it. They tried
Il in France in the last century; they
tried the imitation Of the currency to the
last extent. You read the history of
that period; you find in the debates of
the French convention at the time of the
Revolution-which resembled good
deal. in many respects, the convention at
Chicago-you find it constantly said:
eve are SO great; France is SO powerful,
40 civilized, SO free, that she can raise
the price Of money, she can maintain
any system she wants." And they issued
the assignats based on the PUBLIC land
there was land behind them all; they
