Gladness Comes


Wv transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper ef-
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 corstirated 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 facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
alt 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.
II in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, iaxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of q laxative,
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 saftsfscticu.

HER POWER IS WANING
Hesngs Newspaper Talks of En-
gland and Her Policy.
HER NAVY CAN BE OVERCOME
the British Lions Tail Sc
we're Twist.

Chicago, Jan. S.-Postmaster Hesing's
newspaper, the Stats Zejtung, will say
editorially tomorrow:
KAISER William, the surpriser, has
again astonished the world and has
caused CONSERVATION everywhere in
England. he especially likes quick ac-
ton and does Inlngs at which even those
nearest to him are surprised. England's
traditional bartering, robbing and
rowdy policy is gone one better by EN-
peror William, which has caused Eng
lishmen to be beside themselves. Ger
man diplomats and consuls are every
where on the alert and as they are men
of intelligence and action the entire de-
partment of foreign affairs of the Ger
man empire is thoroughly posted on the
dolngs of the world.
Formerly England always had her
say. Now Englands prestige is on the
wane. Notwithstanding the wonderful
navy of England, nobody fears its pow
er any longer, as 1t is well known that
England can not cope with the navy of
the combined powers, and that in a de-
termined and lengthy war no one would
suffer more than the English merchant
marine and the people OF England them
selves, whose industries depend upon
the importation of raw material from
all over the world, and whose people
could be very easily starved out If i'm
portations of grain and other food prod
ucts were cut off from the rest of the
world"
Cincinnati, Jan. 8-What two Ger
man dailies here will say editorially to-
morrow in reference to the German
and English quarrel is az follows:
The Volksblatt (republican) says:
The present attitude of England and
Germany is hostile There is no gain
saying this fact. This, however, does
not portend war. There will be an ad-
tustment of differences that are stir
ring up both countries at this hour by
England quietly pocketing the slap il
has received at the hands of the Ger
mans. That 1t was deser, ed no one but
Englishmen will dispute"
The Volkes Freund (republlcan) saws:
In spite of all the noise about war
which disturbs the peaceful citizens
we do not believe there will be war be-
tween England and Germany. We are
OF the opinion that England has no
more right to exercise a protectorate
over South African republics than Ger
many. II the emperor of Germany sees
fit to help that republic nobody can for
bid it,"

coLvlLLe RESERVATION MATTERS
Rumor or n Vacancy in the Position of

Rumor or Vacancy in the Position of
notwithstanding Capt. Bubb
Washington, D. c., Jan. S-Rumors Of
a possible vacancy in position of ply
stefan at the Tonasket Indian school on
the Colville reservation have reached
the Indian bureau here, accompanying
letters of recommendation for DR.. c. L.
House of Conconully for the place. The
Indian bureau has no official informa-
ton that such a vacancy is likely to 0c-
eur, and, in any event, DR.. House could
only secure an appointment through the
civil service commission. The present
incumbent, DR.. Walker, is said to have
been mixed up in the recent quarrel be-
tween Captain Bubb, the army officer
who was recently relieved as agent OF
the Colvilles, and other employees of the
reservation. The result of the investi-
cation, however, showed nothing detri-
mental to the character of DR.. Walker,
and he has certainly given no intention
of resgning either before or since the
investigation of Special Agent Lane.
DR.. Walker was appointed to his pres
ent place october IS, 1895, from White
Earth agency, where, 1t Is said, he had
accidentally shot an Indian. All Indian
school employees being under the civil
service, in the event of a vancancy, the
commissioner obtains three names from
the civil service commission of those
who have taken the regular examina-
ton and qualified, and one of these
three is appointed
Captain Bulbs resignation, coming
as 1t did Immediately after the investl-
cation by Agent Lane, has led many
people to believe that it was a result
thereof The commissioner of Indian
affairs states that this impression is an
injustice to Captain Bubb; that he
asked to be relieved before any charges
were filed against him, and that when
he learned of the investigation he
wished to withdraw his request but 1t
was too late, having already been acted
upon by the war department and the
Indian office

Hotel Men Deny That the Convention
Means Exorhitaur Rates.
st. Louis, Jan. with one accord
the hotel men of this city give an en-
phatic denial to story which has been
extensively printed throughout the
country, to the effect that the rates
fixed for the entertainment of delegates
to the republican national convention
are away beyond the agreement enter
ed into by them when the selection Of
a convention place was under consider
alton. and that the lowest price that
has been quoted for a room at any ho-
tel Is SIG per day, no matter whether
only one person occupies ii or not
A gentleman not identified with either
of the two dominant parties, and who
has been given access to the cores
pondence and rates quoted in reply
thereto by the principal hotels, has
made a report in which he says: Il
am satisfied that there have been no
extravagant demands for accommoda-
tons during the republican convention.
The prices for rooms to be used for
headquarters are in almost every in
stance the same as charged during the
democratic convention of 1883. Regard
ing the doubling up Of guests in sleep
ing rooms, everybody in the country
knows that 1t is a necessity during
crowded times, and among the thous-
ands of advance applications for quar-
tiers received by the local hotels, there
is not single one for a room to be oc-
cupied by only one person"

free homes and relief from existing

appointed to open headquarters in

an enabling act during the present SEES

ground that unless action was taken

We are an intelligent, industrious, pro

reduced the fertile acres of Oklahoma
from the state of nature to a high state
of cultivation. We have laid out ana
constructed highways, We have build
ed cities and towns, school houses and
churches. That we have accomplished
all this IN spite of the Wrongdongs and
numherless priYations which, because
of unfriendly legislation, we have been
forced to undergo, proves beyond uues-
uon our capacity for government. :,

MEETING OF ANr1-srLvER SENATORS

Democrats Opposed 10 Free Coinage
Hope to Defeat Senate Amendment.
Washington, Jan. S.-The antl-silver
democrats of the senate held a meet
ing today while the republican senators
were in caucus. The object of the con-
ference was to count how many men
could be mustered against the free
coinage amendment of the senate

was found there We're IA sure votes on
the democratic side against the silver
proposition and the democrats were as
sured that there were rs republicans
who could be counted against the Jones
amendment. This would make 40 in all.
Four more votes would be necessary to
a majority of the senate. Both the
democratic and republican anti-silver
men are now making efforts to see If
these four votes can be obtained.
Among the republicans who are not
counted in the silver list and upon
whom an effort may be made are Sen
ators Mcbride of Oregon and Wilson of
Washington. On the democratic side
Senators Bacon of Georgia and Martin
Of Virginia. 1t is not known on what
hope the anti-silver men are working,
but they say that the vote will be close
and that perhaps free coinage may be
defeated. The democrats against the
bill are: Brice, Caffery. Faulkner, Glib
