but 10 what time has not yet been fixed
Before the trial OF Scott Jackson was
resumed today il was learned that W.
r. Trusty, who was under bond for ap-
pearance. had disappeared. He is
wanted on the charge Of perjury, for his
testimony for the defense. The testi-
mony related 10 Carrie Evans of the
Tenderioin district OF Cincinnati Trus-

January 81. and was introduced TO an
old doctor by her, when they took the
body of Pearl Bryan out of a house on
George street and conveyed it across
the river to Fort Thomas.
The most important testimony of the
day was that of Carrie Evans She tss-
tined that she never saw Trusty till
John Seward and he met her on April
3, and never saw him again until last
night, when she met Trusty with John
Seward. The court asked her If she

girl was taken, all testified that no dead
body was taken from that house on
January 81; also that the only dead
body taken from there was Mrs. Her
zog's baby.
The testimony Of these four witness

William Trusty's testimony was for

Wv transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-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 constipated eondi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompts
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andls
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
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
NAV be commended to the most skillful
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 and gives most general satisfaction.
