Gladness Comes

M/ith q better understanding of the
w 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 arc not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n 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 tits the
| one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It 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. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need OF 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.

So far as known they mOlested no one else. 1t is thought he robbers were on the lookout for tle pay train of the N. M. X A. which ~ due about this time and intended to intefcept it at this point, but failed on account ui the non-arriyal of the train.
 The U. $. marshal and posse with detachment uf trDok> from lludchuca, took up the trail, which led to the east, and followed it as far as Fair bank where t was lost in the multi tude of cattle and horse tracks that cover the road at that point.
 These men evidently made the trip from Ruch's ranch to Iiuachuca Sid ing after night, or more than likely they have hiding place in the Dra- goon mountains where they secrete themselves during the day and give their horses few hours rest, and no doubt they are at his retreat now, or back in the valley with tbeir com rades.
