Gludness Comes

\H/ith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
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 constipated 'ondi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
lyremoves. 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 it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. Its 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
may be commended to the most shillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere; Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

MASON CRY, Ia, Oct. IA mes
sage just received from Lake Mills
states that the missing Sherburne muir
derer has been corralled in the big
woods near that place. He was sighted
early in the morning by one of the
posses in pursuit, but before they could
get up with him he had taken to the
woods. This move will, however, prove
his destruction, as he cannot get out
without falling into the hands of some
one of the many guards that have been
posted while a party had entered the
woods after the man. 1t is not expected
that he will be taken alive, and it may
be that some one or more of the gallant
men now pursuing him may meet the
fate of the brave Gallon, as the man is
known to be desperate and armed, and
he will doubtless sell his life dearly.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. IA young
man who gives his name as Emerson
McCarty is under arrest here charged
with being one of the ~Sherburne,
Mimi, bank robbers. He was arrested
in response to a telegram sent by the
sheriff at Sherburne. McCarty claims
to be a farm hand. He was on a train
bound south, and had a bicycle in the
baggage car of the train from which he
was taken. He refused to leave the
train at first, but was finally dragged
out by officers. On the way to Jail he
kept repeating:
ooh, what shall I do?"
McCarty claims to be a farm hand
from Newton, Ia, and said he started
from Melo, a., to Creston Wednesday
morning and traversed the distance on
his wheel, but a cyclometer on his
wheel shows that he has ridden about
200 miles, and a memorandum book
shows the number of miles covered
each day. McCarty made several con.
ficting statements in his conversation
with the officers.

the address Of welcome which was very
cordial and at the same time outlined
the duties of q Christian Endeavorer.
The latter should be first loyal to

by Miss Alice Coonrod Of Flandreau.
The annual address OF the president,

Of the individual, society and union in
the work Of Christ, the need OF the spir-
it OF the Master in all work and the ad-

Transacts Important Business at the
haywards Meeting
A Lecture Dareau Will Circulate Literature
In Defense Of the Rights Of
Catholic Citizens

HAY;WARDS May 21.-The third
days session of the grand council Y. M.
/. was animated and interesting.
A number of very important changes
were made. Among the most important
was submitted by Father Yorke and
was adopted with enthusiastic cheers
by the delegates. 1t provided for the
appointment and government Of a lee
ture bureau Of eight members, whose
duties it shall be to provide lectures on
the legislation and defense Of the Cath
olic religion. and of the rights and du-
ties Of Ctholice citizens; to provide and
circulate Catholic literature; to bring
before the public the objects and prin-
ciples of the Y. M. I. and to defend them
when attacked.
The annual election of grand officers
will be the special order of business to-
morrow.
The day brought about some very rad
ical changes in the contest for the office
OF grand president. The friends of James
Gallagher Of Fresno took advantage of
the uncertain condition of affairs and
actively canvassed his chances.
For the office Of first vice president,
the most active candidates are A. r.
Denike OF San Jose and IsidoreDock-
weller of Los Angeles.
Up to late hour James C. O'Donnell
of San Francisco seemed to have 1t all
his own way in the race for the second
vice presidency.
For grand treasurer, w. +. Ageler Of
San Jose is trying to give the present
grand treasurer. John O'Donnell, a hard
battle for that lace.
Everybody comedies that George
Stanley will succeed himself in the office
of grand secretary.
The contest for the office of marshal
has brought out Frank J. McHenry Of
San Luis Obispo and T. Phillip O'Brien
of San Francisco. McHenry entered the
fight first and believes that his friends
have taken such advantage Of the time
to make certain his chances Of winning.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-There is lit
tie surface change in the harbor matter
today. Under the surface, however.
there is constantly rising temperature.
Mcguire. in concert with McLachlan and
other congressmen. may be depended up
on to make things very hot in the house
for Chairman Hooker and Mr.. Hunting
toms other servitors in that body II
the disagreement with the senate
amendment Is persisted In.
The fact that Hooker, Herman and
Catchings were the first men in congress
to consent to the giving Of three millions
OF dollars for q deep water harbor for
Southern California with the proviso
that 1t should be constructed at Santa
Monica puts them in dreadful hole
now that they are trying to follow Hunt
ington's instructions to strike out the
whole thing rather than give San Pedro
an equal chance to get appropriations.
They are undoubtedly engaged in des-
perate attempt to force Senator White
to accept a stuffed commission named by
the conferees. They will not be success
full tn their hold up scheme. and the COM
ments which their inconsistent course
is causing around the capitol and in the
newspapers are making these Hunting
tonian champions feel as II they were
in q moral sweatbox. At least one Of
them appears to be very limp today and
the chances are that another will be
before another twenty-four hours pas
ses. It is improbable that any open
demonstrations will be made for day or
so longer, but unless the matter reaches
q settlement in the conference commit
tee on the basis of the senate amend
mont, 1t is very sure that you will have
some reports Of a fight here beside which
the recent four days battle in the senate
will pale into tameness. White is fully
prepared, angry and determined. The
same condition exists in the California
delegation in the house. and it Is ten
to one wager that right and honesty will
prevail and the attempted steal will not
succeed.
