Secretary Halls Is already In receipt Of
notice of q large number OF entries In
the different departments from this and
adjoining States. The chief attraction,
however. will probably be visit from
President Mckinley 10 the fair. Some
time ago q joint committee, composed
OF members Of the Board OF Directors
OF the fair and members Of the Hiram
Lodge OF Masons. called upon President
Mckinley, and invited him 20 visit our
town. President Mckinley. then Major
Mckinley, was stationed here for quite
time during the war. and like many
others Of the Union army who have
since become prominent IN public life.
he was initiated into the Masonic fra
ternity, and this fact. coupled with the
memory Of the stirring times he no
doubt witnessed on the occasion OF his
former visit. made him give a rather
favorable reply to the invitation OF the
committees. Later the secretary Of the
Fair Association received from the
President a letter saying he would be
here during the fair as the guest of
the Masons, provided however he was
not detained by official business.

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, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects arc due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which il 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.
II 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

WHEAT AT NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, August i-The controlling
factor in wheat again to-day was the
enormous export demand. At least a
million bushels were sold to go abroad,
the Continent getting two-thirds and the

nounced strength Of English cables caused
an advance OF 5-SlIl 1-2c. in New York
prices for the day. Near the close Sep
TENDER sold at Soc, which eclipsed all
previous records in this campaign. The
