Gladness Comes

With better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys.
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasantef 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 constipatedcondi-
tiop 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. 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. 1t 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, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-nformed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

 CLINTON, Ia., Oct. 0.-W H. Harvey, author of "Coin," narrowly escaped being assaulted at 8 meeting here when he spoke on free silver, but turned to attack Gems. Sickles, Alger, Howard and the others in the car of veterans who are now travelling through the west. He referred to the generals as ''old wrecks of the rebel lion, who have lost all their honor and patriotism. and are the tools of polit. ical Shyloclxs His words were g, eeted by @ storm of hisses, which rendered it impossible for him to be heard. He tried to continue, but gave it up as the storm increased. A large number of Grand Army men were iu the hall, and took Harvey's words almost as per- sonal affront Grizzled veterans leaped from their eats cn all sides and started into the ais.es. shaking their fists and yelling threats The cooler heads in- terfered. however, and restrained the old soldiers. The majority of them, inst-ad oi returning to their seats, left the hall in a body.

A Decision of Interest to Inmates of Homes
 for Disabled Veterans.
 DEs MONIES, Ia., Oct l0-The state supreme court handed down n decision in the celebrated soldiers home pen sion case yesterday. The case was from Marshall county. where the sol. diers' home is located. It had been decided by the trustees ot the home to retain, from the pensions of inmates of the home who had no dependent relatives, all their pension money in excess of SC a month. The inmates took the matter into court. and Judge II Hindman, in the district court. held that the trustees had no right to interfere with pensions, and ordered them to refund to the inmates all the money taken from their pensions. A permanent injunction was issued, re. s,raining the trustees from enforcing the rule. The case is completely re. versed by the higher court It holds that the state is providing for the maintenance of the old soldiers who are in the home, and that it would be a manifest injustice to require society to support them twice, onee with their pensions and again with the facilities of the home.

 CHICAGO, Oct. l0.-Secretary of Aqri. culture J. Sterling Morton spoke at the Auditorium last night under the auspices of the Sound Money league. The hall was filled to the extent of its seating capacity, and when Secretary Morton appeared upon the platform he was greeted with loud and enthusiastic cheers. Before beginning the address Secretary Morton announced that an invitation had been sent to President Cleveland requesting his presence at the meeting. Mir. Morton then read the presidents letter regretting his in. ability to be present, which was as fol. lows:
 l am so much interested in the work which the American Honest Money league has under- taken that would be glad to do anything consistently could to aid its efforts. I regret, therefore. that must decline your invitation to address the league on some date previous to the approaching election. Even if the pres- sure of official duty did not prevent. should hardly deem 1t consistent with strict propriety to mingle actively in the pending campaign While 1t is impossible that any of my fellow-citizenS should have the least doubt as to my sentiments on the vital question which Ut this time absorbs so largely the attention of our people. the work Of advancing sound finan- cial ideas and the labor of enforcing the les- sons of public and private honesty and moral- ity feel must be prosecuted without such participation on my part as you suggest Wishing for the league the utmost success in it's patriotic endeavor, am. very sincerely,

 WASHINGTON, Oct 10.-According to unofficial though trustworthy infor- nation received at the department of agriculture the German government has followed up its prohibition of the importation of American dressed beef and live cattle into Germany by new regulation which practi. cally shuts out American canned beef from the German markets. Canned beef was not included in the first prosecution, and considerable quanti. ties of it continued to be sent to the German ports. Recently, however. a new order was issued requiring that all canned beef should be inspected. As compliance with this requirement means the opening of the cans con ntain. ing the meat, the order is practical inhibition.

 ARDMORE, l.

Williams was former cattle king, we'll known in Chicago,St Louis, Kansas City and the west generally, and leaves wife and four children. Bud Watkins, the slayer, admits his guilt, but says he shot in self-defense, which is denied by half dozen witnesses, all of whom say Williams was shot twice before he pulled his gun, and that as he fell dying, he fired one shot, and died with his pistol cooked in his neryelesS hand

The Democratic Nominee for Vice Presi.
 dent Accepts with Thanks.
 BATH, Me. Oct 7.-.Hon. Arthur Sew. all, democratic candidate for vice pres. ident of the United States, last night made public his letter of acceptance. 1t is as follows:
 Hon Stephen B. White. Chairman. and Mem
 bers of the Notification Committed:
 Gentlemen: I have the honor to accept in writing, as have already verbally done, the nomination rendered by you on behalf of the democratic party, as its candidate for vice president of tho United States. And in so doing. I am glad first, to express my satisfaction that the platform of our party, which has command cd my life-long allegiance. is honestly and ful- ly declaratory of all the principles, and espe. cially of the absorbing financial issue, upon which, as you say, took my stand, "when the hour of triumph seemed remote and when ar- rogant money changers throughout the coun- try boasted that the conquest of the American masses was complete"
 The best money in the world is none too good for those who have got It. but how Is 1t with the 90 per cent. of the people who have got 1t to geti
 How is 1t with those who must buy the "best money in the world" with the products of their own labor? These are the people for whom the democratic party would legislate. What Is the best money for these is the question for all to ask who really love this land How else can you increase labor's purchasing power, but by increasing the price of labor's product Is 1t 0 fair measure of value that in our great pro- ductng section ten bushels of potatoes must be paid for dollar, ten bushels of oats for dol- lar six bushels of corn for dollar, three bush- els of wheat. and all other products of the soil and mines and the labor Of all wage-ea at the same ratioY With these object lessons about me, little need have we for history and statistics and the studies of scholars. Little satisfaction it is to us that they have warned us long since of the deadly evil of the gold stand- ard. It has brought us at least to the parting of the ways Whither shall the people go-in the way that has led to their enslavement, or into that which offers them their only chance to regain individual liberty, lasting prosperity and happiness!
 The free and unlimited coinage of silver is the sole remedy with which to check the wrongs of to-day, to undo the ruin of the past, and for our inspiration we have the justice of our cause and those cherished principles of Jefferson End Jackson. which shall be our guide on our return to power Equal and ex. act justice 70 all men, absolute acquiescence in decisions of the majority, the vital prin- ctples of republics, the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith. Profoundly sensible of the high bonor of the nomination you tender. am. truly yours, ARTHUR SHwALL.

Cuban Rebels Are Taken Out to Sea and

 KEY WEST, Fla, Oct. 7.-Butcheries on an awful scale are being perpetra- ted nightly in Havana, according to a letter received here from one of the most reliable correspondents in the Cuban capital. Every night at police headquarters prisoners are taken out and placed on the books as re. leased. These individuals in charge of three policemen are placed in a boat and start off. They don't land anywhere, but after a while the officers come back without the prisoners This action has been watched night after night From Sep tember to 30 sS prisoners have disap- peared in this way. From the Cabanas and Moro castle, prisoners are taken out and drowned in the same way. The reason they are taken out of the harbor is on account of the number of sharks, which get hold of the bodies and leave no trace.
