The Company known through
out the world as the
CAlIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as ~ medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant TO the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process Of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful 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 used and gives most general
satisfaction.

ment for a duchess Of the days Of the
empire, in novelty velvet, wherein big
figures are outlined in dahlia tones,
its sleeves huge and dark and fierce,
its yoke brave with the CLEAN of gold
and the glitter Of jet, thrown boldly
across both front and back. and its
collar edged with big ostrich plumes,
upright? For "a fine figure of wo-
man" confess Lind this bold and the
atric cloak altogether attractive five

them be strong and bold? But the

Desperate Duel.

Ankle deep in mud, with drizzling
rain falling through the darkness. on a
lonely country road, four men fought
desperate hand-to-hand conflict with
knives, early last Saturday morning,
near st. Louis, which resulted in the
murder of one man and almost fatal
injury to another. The participants in
the fights were st. Louis county Mo-
farmers, living ten miles to the north
Of the city of st. Louis. On one side
were Henry Segar and his son-in-law,
John Tageman; on the other side. were
Charles and William Gillhaus, brothers.
and neighbors to their OPPONENTS
VIM. Gillhaus is now dead, and Charles
is suffering from dangerous wounds.
Neither of the opposite party was hurt,
and at latest adviccs they had not been
arrested A dispute over the right 30
drive over private road on Segar's land
was the cause Of the fight. <r.

Mr.. Sam Fairchild, postmaster
Indian Mound. was killed by Ed Tuck
er, about 8 O'Clock Friday night. It
appears that Tucker owed Fairchild q
small store account of long standing,
and Fairchild had remarked that Tuck
er. was man who would not pay an
honest debt. Tucker heard of the re-
mark, and meeting Fairchild at Clarke
Circus, a short distance above Indian
Mound, accosted him, asking him if he
had made use of the remark. Being
answered in the affirmative, Tucker
said: "You are liar" and drawing
his pistol fred at Fairchild, the shot
taking effect in the forehead, causing
instant death. Tucker dropped his
pistol and made his escape, and up to
this time has not been epprehended.
Sheriff slaughter and deputy left for
the scene Of the homicide. Mr.. Fair
child was about twenty-fiveyears of age,
only son of Mr.. J. M. Fairchild, and
leaves wife and large circle of rela-
tives and friends. Tucker is described
as about forty-five years old, 5 feet 7
inches in height, weight about $50
pounds, dark hair and moustache.

gray eyes. Sheriff Slaughter will give

Sources Of ivory.

African ivory is now conceded to be
the finest. The first quality Of this
comes from near the equator, and 1t has
been remarked with regard to this fact
that the nearer the equator the smaller
is the elephant. but the larger the
tusks. The ivory from equatorial
Africa is closer in the grain, and has
less tendency to become yellow by
exposure than Indian ivory. The fin
est transparent African ivory is col
lected along the west coast between
attitudes 10 degrees north and 10 de-
grees south, and this is believed to de-
teiiorate in quality and to be more
liable to damage with increase of lati-
tude In either direction. The .whitest
ivory comes from the east coast. 1t is
considered to be In best coalition when
recently cut; it has then a mellow,
warm, transparent tint, as IL soaked
in oil, and very little appearance of
grain or texture.
Indian ivory has an Opaque, dead
white color, ana tendency to become
dIscolored. OF the Asian varieties Siam
is considered TO be the finest, being
much superior in appearance and
density. The ivory of the mammoth
tusks is net very much esteemed, par
ticulariy in England; 1t is considered
too dry and brittle for elaborate work,
besides which it is very liable to turn
yellow. AS matter of fact, the larg-
