Republicans In Kansas Save Very Little
from the Fusion Landslide.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. g. According to
the returns from % counties in Kansas
at fusion headquarters which the man
ayers claim are reliable, Leedy's ma
jorlty is ITO The other nine coun-
ties to hear from they say will swell
that majority probably 500 votes The
republican managers have but little
hope for their state ticket While they
claim that it looks very much like .
fusion victory they say that the cleo
ton is so close that Morrill, may pull
through The governor, however. has
given up, as we'll as the other state
officers.
This makes the slump In Kansas
complete, except for the election OF
republican congressman In the First
and Fourth districts, and bare posi-
bilty of the election OF Harris in the
Second. 1t ia the most stunning de-
feat that the republican party ever
suffered in the sunaower state. The
returns at fusion headquarters indi-
cafe that the senate and house
this winter will stand as follows: SEN
ate-Populists, 81; republicans, II;
democrats. .. House-Populists, 90;
republicans, As; democrats, Z; free sill
yer republicans, Z. This gives the
populists 96 votes on joint ballot, ID
more than majority over all other
other parties combined. While the re-
publicans have not heard from all the
precincts, they do not question the leg
islative claims Of their opponents

1t is the duty OF every man to
make the most of himself. What
ever his capacities may be, he is
sure to find some place where he
can be useful to himself and to
others. But ho cannot reach his
highest usefulness without pure
blood. The blood circulates 10
every organ and tissue and when it
is pure, rich and healthy it carries
health to the entire system, but if is
impure it scatters disease wherever
it flows. Hoods SarsaparilIa Is the

salt rhenm, scrofula, caIarrh, dys-
pepsia and rheumatism because
these diseases have their origin in
the blood.

Gladness Comes

\Njlth a better understanding CT the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical 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
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 il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all 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. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used andgives most general satisfaction.
