Electric railways are said TO be proving Of
great benefit to the farmers of Maine. Troll
ley lines are run ont of the large cities and
towns to villages far removed from steam
railway communication, and in several dis
tricts arrangements are being made to run
trolley milk trains, vegetable trains and the
like, to enable the farmers to get their pro-
duce quickly to market. II is even proposed
TO run trolley coal trains TO supply coal to
Bmall towns that now use only wood.

Gludness Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv 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 1t is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to notc when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by tho California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most skillful
physicians, but IL In need of a 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.

Northrestern Pensions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The pension
OF Levi A. Garfield. of Eilensburg, Kit
titas county, which was cut Off under an
order OF the pension commissioner some
time ago. has been restored and his PEN
sion certificate will be reissued at once.
An original Widows pension has been
granted 10 Mary +. Robson, OF Albion,
Cassia county, Idaho.
J. NJ. Burt has been appointed a PEN
sion examining surgeon at Vancouver.
Wash.
Congressman Doolittle has succeeded In
having allowed 6he pension claim Of Levi
A Garfield, Of Ellensburg. Wash. The
claim carries with Il S1,775 in accrued PEN
sion and gives ratings of S. per month
from July g. 1890. Increase granted that
date to 81 per month, and further in
crease granted to 81 per month from April
@ 1896
The pension claim OF Carlos Spalding. OF
Goidendale. Klickitat county, has been re-
jected. The case has been specially ruled
upon by the commissioner. Mr.. Spalding
is a pensioner at si2 per month under the
general law, and recently applied for an
increase. having had a stroke OF paralysis
about three months since. The rejection
is on the ground that the paralysis was
not incurred in the line OF duty. and also
from the further fact that an increase
can be granted only for an increase in
that disability for which the original PEN
sion was granted. Mr.. Spalding is total
~ disabled and requires constant attend
ance. No advantage could be gained by a
transfer TO the sct of June q, 1890, as he
IL now IN receipt OF the maximum under
that act.

CRUSoE's ISLAND GONE.
Tabled Home Of the Castaway sinks
Into the Sea.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. IA few
weeks ago a vessel putting in at Lisbon.
after trip around Cape Horn. reported
the destruction By volcanic action of Juan
Fernandez island. famous as the tabled
home of Robinson Crusoe. The master
claimed to have seen tho catastrophe
from the deck of his vessel. The report
was not given credence at the time by
scientific men. and many oenials were
printed in papers and magazines. But
Capt Powles. of the British ship James
Kerr. now IN port. asserts that the story
is generally believed by seafaring men all
over the world.
The James Kerr recently arrived from
Newcastle. New South Wales. where she
was lad up four months on account OF the
coal mine strike. Capt Powles met a very
large number or master mariners there.
and says that the destruction OF the island
was a matter of common gossip among
them. The captain himself has not passed
within sight OF the island since September,
1883, when he secured an excellent photo
graph OF 1t from the deck OF his ship. He
says that some OF the captains who ar
rived IN Newcastle while ne was there
verified the report that The island was
missing.
