Gladness Comes

With better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasante 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
ly removes. That is why it 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.
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 skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
,sed and gives most general satisfaction.

Damage Suits Growing Out of the

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 16-The damage
suits of John O'Rourke and Robert

were settled to-day. The suits grew out
of the great railway strike of 1894 and
were for $4,000. The St. Paul company
pays the plaintiffs a sum that is salts

lease of all claims mentioned in the COM
plaint. The amount of money that
passed is held strictly confidential, by

July, 1891, upon warrants issued by

CHICAGO AND N. P. ROAD.
The BOndhOlderS Will Bid for the
Property at the Sale To-day.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Members of the
bondholders' committee of the Chicago
and Northern Pacific Railroad made a
tour of Inspection of the property pre-
paratory to bidding it in at the fore
closure sale tomorrow. The committee
will offer $1O,000,000 for the road, in
Guiding asset of every kind, and also
assume the preferential mortgages, one
of which runs to the city Of Chicago and
conveying the site of the Grand Central
Passenger Station. The amount is
5000, 900. The other mortgage amount
ing to 1894 900 is in favor of Edwin A.
Abbott and John A. Stewart, so that the
property will cost the bondholders about
S11 100000.
The committee, which is here, is keep
ing strict silence regarding the re-or-
ganization plans, although the plans
have been fully decided upon and will
be put into operation as soon as the sale
is consummated.
In railroad circles there is an intima-
ton that Receiver Hopkins will be re-
tained as manager of the property in the
office of President. The Wisconsin Cen
trail interests are said to be anxious to
secure the property, because it would
give them their own Chicago terminal,
and in that event there may be com
petition at the sale to surprise the bond
holders.

TROUBLE IN MILITARY CIRCLES,

Court Martial Probable.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-The
fiasco resulting from the emergency call

men in all parts of the State. The high

blunder at headquarters the companies
