AWFUL.
Young Lad Eaten Alive by Savage
Dogs.

Dogs.
News of an awful affair comes from
Racine, the details of which is to the
effect that Harry Acklan, an eight year
old boy, was literally chewed to pieces
Wednesday evening by two savage
dogs owned by Frank Bull, and which
we're kept on the premises for the pur-
pose of soaring away tramps. 1t is re-
ported that young Acklan with COM
panion started to cross the enclosure
wherein the dogs were confined and the
dogs Immediately ran after them.
Acklan's companion escaped, but
young Acklan was overtaken and
thrown down by the dogs and almost
chewed to pieces. When the boys
body was discovered the ferocious
brutes were still gnawing away at his
mangled remains. The affair has pro-
duced profound sensation in Racine
where all of the persons concerned are
we'll known.

A BIKE PATH TO RACINE.
One Proposed to Be Built Between Here
and There.

and There.
A week or so ago one of our promi-
nent wheelmen went to Racine to see
if he could not interest the wheelmen
there in a project to establish some
sort of a bicycle path between the two
cities There is a constant travel be-
tween these towns on wheels, and there
is not time when the path might be
considered very good. It was figured
that if all the Wheelmen who are in
terested in seeing that road improved
would contribute not to exceed ST.
apiece, path between the two towns
could be paved with brick to the width
of four feet. Not all will contribute,
however, in all probability, and so it
was figured that if only small pro-
portion would pay 81 apiece a fine
plank walk that width could easily be
laid. 1t is proposed to build this walk
on the lake shore road. People inter-
ested in wheeling have already started
a move in this direction, and ascer-
tanned that the proposed walk could be
built for about $500, which sum it is
proposed to raise by forming Racine
Kenosha bicycle club, each member of
which should contribute ST. to the con-
struction of the walk. A mass meet
ing of cyclists to thoroughly discuss
the project will be called in the near
future, both in Racine and Kenosha,
and if it meets with the encouragement
it deserves joint committee from both
cities will then be chosen to perfect the
plans and begin work forthwith.

The pleasant effect and perfect safe

GIudness 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
" 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. It's 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. It's therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the 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.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV 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
Gsedand gives most general satisfaction.

\ COMPARISON.

Four years ago Benjamin Harrison
and the Republican party were so
badly defeated that it was question
in the minds Of staunch Republicans
whether or not the party would live
long enough to fight another Presi-
dental campaign. 1t did live and it
has won a signal victory. The defeat
Of Mr.. Bryan, though, is not like the
defeat of Harrison, and instead OF
Republicans and Democrats who
assisted them, regarding the defeat of
the democracy as lasting, they are
trembling at the close call Mr.. Mckin.
lev had. When we count the electoral
votes Mckinley received, il might
Indicate that his victory was a COM
plete one, but an ardent New York
Republican sounds the alarm in the
New York San, and shows in plain
figures that a change of 10000 votes
distributed in ten States would have
defeated Mr.. Mckinley and elected
William J. Bryan President of the
United States. Four States gave him
less than a thousand majority each
and the Others ran about 1000 When
il is taken into consideration that no
Democrat in the country thought six
months ago that it was possible to elect
a Democratic President this year, and
that Mr.. Bryan had to run his cam.
paign almost single-handed against the
combined efforts of the trusts and
favored manufacturers. together with
a gigantic corruption fund reaching
up in the millions. the fight of the
Democracy in the battle just ended
was the most magnificent in the history
of the party. Mr.. Bryan received a
much larger vote than elected Presi-
dent Cleveland aud the campaign
waged against him was ten times
harder.
