With a better understanding of the
w 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, andis
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
all important, in order to get it's 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, laxatlves or
other remedies arc then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease. ono
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
wcll-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

TURBINES AND LEVELS.

An important problem In practical
mechanics Is to conduct the waste
water away rapidly from the turbine
wheel after 1t has served its purpose
and delivered up its power. To gain
this result, free the wheel from waste,
and leave 1t ready to develop all pos
sible power. Is the standing problem.
A drop in the lower level of one foot,
or even few inches, means much to
the manufacturer. and is worth the
outlay of thousands of dollars, to save
coal and steam in the production of
power. The lower level may rise to
the height Of the upper. and then the
wheel stops and the machine is idle
dead.
Every one of us is "the architect of
his own fortune" in more senses than
one. We are manufacturers Of strength,
energy, life. The waste must be re-
moved from the wheels Of our life or
the accumulation will hinder and poison
the whole being. This result needs ac-
tivity of digestion, liver. kidneys. skin,
etc. The organs of the body are
strengthened, the blood purified and
waste removed by Hoods Sarsarparilla
and Hoods Pills. Do not allow the
waste to accumulate and check the ma
chinery of life. but treat your body as
carefully as the manufacturer does his
wheels-watch the lower levels.

A PECULIAR COINCIDENCE.
DunmOre Was in Darkness and WOr.
riment Was the Result.

Dunmore at present is being supplied
with its electric illumination by the
Suburban Electric Light COMPANY. On
Nov. 12 the borough council turned
down the Suburban people and awal l.
ed the lighting contract to a new COM
pany, composed mainly of Dunmore
people and known as the Dunmore
Electric Light and Heat company.
Last night was the time set for the
execution of the new contract. Dun
more was in darkness.
1t was at once conjectured that the
Suburban people We're carrying out
rumored threat that the town would
be in darkness If the newt contract was
signed. There. was a good deal of wor-
riment and many hasty expressions Of
censure, but at 9.45 o'clock, when the
electric current was turned on the bOr-
ough emerged from its Stygian state,
worriment gave place to abashment
and inquiries were begun to find the
real cause of the darkness. 1t was dis
covered that it was only peculiar CO.
incidence that the lights were off when
the contract was being signed. q break
having occurred at the company's
plant.
The new company will not be pre-
pared to supply light for about two
months yet. In the meantime the bor-
ough must rely upon the Suburban
peoples good will for their light, as
there is no contract to bind them.

ADJUSTMENTS.

One Of the largest audiences that has
ever been inside the rockingham will
possibly greet De Wolf Hopper and his
famous opera company tonight in the
most successful comic opera of recent
years, "El CAPTAIN" Great interest is
being manifested in the engagement
not only from the fact that the per-
fOrmance OF the now famous opera will
be its initial one in this city, but also
owing to the great popularity enjoyed
by both star and composer. John Philip
Sousa's name in the brief space of five
years has become a household word,
which Is not surprising, for his admir-
able compositions are today played. in
every city and town In this country,
and by all Of the leading military
bands and large orchestras in Europe.
At the head Of his superb band, he has
toured the country from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. as well as from Canada
to Mexico. The clever leader and his
band was one of the great features of
the Worlds fair, the Midwinter fair
held in San Francisco, and also at the
Cotton exposition recently held in At
lanta. Charles Kleinf, the author of
the book, is a rising young dramatist,
who has already written several popu-
lar plays. and who has just finished

to-day It would take more bushels of
wheat and more corn to pay one-third
or the debt than at that time would
have paid all of it. The most dishonest
dollar in the world was the gold dollar,
for 1t had succeeded in lowering the
purchasing power of uncoined silver
The Government paid gold to foreigners
and investors in the East, and dis
tributed the silver to the men who
worked In the West. The Government
was not honest when it paid the inter-
est on her bonds with gold, for in doing
SO the people were Disseminated
against.
Although silver had deprecated along
With other values, it did not follow that
this silver when coined would not make
as good dollar as that owned by men
years ago. The gold of the country
might be in the vaults of bankers, but
silver would be the money of the peo-
pie, and there would be plenty of it..
The most prosperous time the country
ever saw was when $500, 100000 in
ereenbacks were floating around and
gold dollar could not be had 1t was
the volume not the value, which made
prosperity. Colorado has turned her
back upon the financiers in the East,
and will no longer be with them on
election day, because that State is look
ing for this lost prosperity.
The funniest thing in the campaign,
said the speaker was the sight Of Mark
Hanna getting sick at his stomach at
the very thought of giving the poor
workingman a deprecated dollar. 1t
was extremely laughable, but it was not
on record that a labor union had ever
petitioned Congress to legislate for a
gold standard. Finance was not to be
legislated upon for a day. It was the
life blood of a nation. 1t was impossi-
bic to destroy the nation-it was too
firmly built-but insufferable hardship
could be caused by contracting the cur
rency by means of a gold standard.
In conclusion, the speaker said the
people were strong and courageous
enough to settle the question them
selves. It should not be said that
the American people turned to England
and asked her what to do about their
finances. He paid a glowing tribute
to Bryan, and asked the people to sup
port him by electing a sympathetic
Congress. He recommended Marion de
Eries as the man for the place, having
ability and youth behind him.
Three cheers were given for Bryan at
the conclusion of Mr.. Taylor's remarks,
and the meeting adjourned.

WHEEL MATTERS.
New Clubhouse Needed-A Blind Run
for Tonight.

The Capital City Wheelmen met last
presiding. 1t was resolved to set Mon
day night, October 9Th, apart for con-
sideration of one subject only, namely,
the new clubrooms. The sentiment was
strongly in favor of building, and about
the only thing that obstructs is the di-
vision of sentiment regarding location
There is some diversity of opinion as
to the character of the clubhouse. A
dozen propositions are before the COM
mittee for rental Of clubrooms, but none
of these are just what the membership
wants. It desires especially a pretty
large assembly room, with parlors,
training and wheel rooms, bath, etc. All
these matters will be settled on the date
named.
Next Monday evening the club will
listen to lecture by Mr.. Michener of
the League Of American Wheelmen on
topics Of special interest.
The Captain of the club gave notice of
moonlight blind run Of the club to-
morrow night from the clubrooms at
sharp, and club run to Woodland on
the 9th inst.
Next Monday evening, by notification
from Consul Dwyer, the club will pro-
ceed to elect three delegates to the
Board of Governors Of the Associated
Cycling Clubs, the Capital Citys having
just been admitted to the association.
