been working on members Ct the jury. 1t
had been determined by County Attorney

the present jury with the cases, but 10 wait
for the new one in January. But the jury
suddenly discovered it's duty to go at the
cases at once and 1t was commonly under
stood a withdrawing would result.
A morning paper printed the story and
when the jury met this morning it was not
allowed to take up the investigation. Judge
Holmes announced that If the present jury
attempted to make the investigation he
would at once call it into court and dismiss
1t. He said he had been watching it and
having its relations with the eX-city officials
watched for some time, and intimated that

The populists here are very much agi-
tated over the decision to be handed down
by the supreme court tomorrow on the
mandamus application to compel the state
canvassing board to issue certificates OF
election TO the Mckinley electors and the
republican candidates for congress. Many
of the prominent populists say in private
conversation, although they refuse to be
interviewed, to the effect that II the
decision of the supreme court is adverse
to the populists an effort will be made
at the coming session OF the legislature to
impeach the members of the court. In order
to do this they say that enough repub
lican members OF the legislature will be
unseatcd to give the populists a clear two
thirds majority. 1t is believed here that
this is idle talk and that the populist lead
ers throughout the state would not coun-
tenance the scheme for a moment.

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 constipatcd condi-
lion 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
fleets are due to the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without dcblitating the
organs on which it acts. II 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, laNativcs or
