Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys-
zeal 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, 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 facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali 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 ard 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. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
nav be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but il 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,

The Decision Of yuds. w.llburn.

"A week ago today Judge Wellburn Of
.ne United States District Court Of
,a'liorhia, southern district, rendered a
aecisloh of the very highest Importance
from transportation point OF view
he Geographic report Of il has now
oeeil supplemented by the more ex.
Tended report Of the local press. While
Tue amount Immediately involved was q
mere trife, $500, the claims upon the
United States which were awaiting the
result OF that test case amount to forty
or nifty millions Of dollars.
The suit grew out OF the general policy
OF The government 10 pay the land grant
railroads not TO exceed half fare for
Tue transportation Of troops, mails, or
government property over their lines.
The roads have accepted these half fare
payments under protest. The particu.
lar case IN litigation was brought by the
Atlantic and Pacific railroad, part of
Tie santa Fe system. That road alone
would derive benefit of about million
ana a half year from the allowance OF
The claim. II is computed that this and
other land grant roads constitute half
Tie railway mileage Of the country. The
report OF the decision adds:
The decision, however, is not applica.
DE 10 the land grant roads alone, but ap-
Piies 10 all the roads In the country. and
Is not confined 10 government business,
Uut Involves the right Of Congress 10 fix
Tue compensation OF all charges by the
railroads for Interstate commerce.
II this is correct, and there is no rea.
sou To doubt it. the decision is a very
important step toward extending the
principle laid down in the granger cases,
which went up 10 the supreme court Of
the niied States under the statute of
Illinois. authorizing the railroad and
warehouse board 10 fix the maximum
rates for the transportation of pas,
sshgeIS, freight and cars ia this state.
The Weilburn doctrine. logically applied.
would make the Interstate Commerce
commission one Of the most important

Swept BY Fire.

James II. Kennedy met with seri.
Gus loss Of property at his home near
Post Falls, last Tuesday, In the deStruc.
tion OF his house and barn by fire, to-
gether with their contents. The fire
was first discovered In the roof OF the
house when Mrs. Kennedy was engaged
In getting dinner, and In few minutes
the whole building was a solid mass OF
flame. II soon spread to the barn and
adjoining buildings, and they too were
destroyed In very few minutes. All
efforts TO save the household goods and
family effects proved futile and the loss
is comlpete, amounting TO at least 81
30. The house was large two story
frame in good condition, and the barn
contained several tons Of hay. Mr..
Kennedy was absent In Post Pals at
time OF the fire, and some one called his
attention 10 the dense volume of smoke
rising in the vicinity Of his home, when
he jumped into his buggy and started for
the place, but reached it too late TO be
of amy use in saving his property. The
misfortune leaves him in destitute cir
cumstances, and he desires all those
who know themselves indebted to him
TO make an effort TO pay up and thus
assist him at time when helps needed.

The Home Paper.

No man is too poor TO take his county
paper, says All exchange, and it is false
economy TO try to get along without it.
Hardly a week passes that something
does not appear in its columns that will
be Of financial benefit TO the subscriber,
and by the end OF the year he has made
or saved by it from one ~ twenty times
its subscription price. The city papers
do not take the place of the county
weekly, although some people seem TO
think they do. The city papers are all
right ia their way, but they don't give
you what you are most interested in
your county news. You cannot learn
from them what various courts Of the
county are doing, what transfers in
real estate are being made, when and
where public meetings are 70 be held +,
who arc dying and who are marrying
who are moving out, who want TO buy
and who want 10 sell land, when public
sales are TO he held, ana in fact, hun
dreds of items which 1t might be Of par.
ticular importance for you 10 know.
Such matter the city paper cannot fur
nish, but the county weekly can and
does. II you can afford but one paper,
by all means take that one published in
the county in which you live.
