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 a 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.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. II 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.

almost like q spring from the ground.
How high when irritated the terrific

snake making good blow so high as
four feet from the ground, while marks

India say about it-that it is so fierce as
to attack man at sight, SO vindictive as
to follow him with logged resolution
and add to it all we actually know about
the reptile, that it can climb trees like
an anaconda, swim like hydra, get
over 8 foot wall and squeeze through
a 6 inch hole, and that its bite is death,
it would have to be confessed that the
snake eating snake is the most terrible
creature in nature. Good Words

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and |
want 1t done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and 1 take no more risks"
This is the sentiment Of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

THE PoPuLIsT MIX

The action of the Populist convention
at st. Louis in nominating Bryan and
Watson will aid Mckinley if followed
to it's logical conclusion. In order to
secure any votes in the electoral col
lege for Watson it will be necessary to
name an entirely different set of cleo
tors from those which stand for Bryan
and Sewall in any state that they hope
to carry This course would, in almost
every state where the Republicans are
in a probable minority, result in giving
the state to Mckinley and Hobart
Let US take Kansas to illustrate
Suppose there are three sets of cleo
tors named and the Bryan and Sewal
ticket gets $4,000 votes, the Bryan and
Watson ticket 5000 and the McKin-
ley and Hobart ticket 1000. Though
having a majority of $4,000 in favor Of
his electors Mr.. Bryan would not get
an electoral vote in the state. This
would probably be the result in a num-
Der of states.
If by any chance the Bryan and Wat
son ticket should carry a state it
would only reduce Sewalrs vote with
out being any benefit to Watson.
