Gladness Comes

XX/ith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-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 debilitating 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 a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
wellinformed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
bed ana gives most general satisfaction.

their positions in line On the forward

Carter was among the number. He
had been absent during the afternoon,
had been drinking and was in a quar-.
reisome mood. He insisted on pushing
the others aside and Kenny, noticing
his condition, took him out of the ranks
and requested that beer be not served
to him. Carter then seized q bottle Of
beer, and the master. alarms took it
from him and reported him to the off
Ger Of the deck. This led to the murder.

is a dispatch from Madrid last week:
A dispatch to a Madrid paper from
Havana says that much alarm has
been occasioned by the great increase
of sickness. The heat, which is tel.
rible, renders the soldiers more sus-
ceptible to attack and initiates against
the recovery Of those already stricken.
Twenty Thousand men have been taken
to the hospitals suffering from yellow
fever or d~ysentery. The medical staff.
on which there are fifty vacancies, is
almost hors de combat. Beds and
medicine are urgently needed. It is
likely that the number of sick this
summer viii double that of last sum-
mer. Thesdispatch contains the report
of the attack by insurgents upon a
mail coach going from Havana to San
Jose de, las Lajas. The attack took
place on Friday near the village of
Jamaica. All the occupants of the
coach were killed except three women
and a child. The province of Havana
is elsewhere lawless, despite, General
Weyler's reports that it has been paci,

Prof. L. 9, Bateman, candidate of the
Peoples party Of Maine for Governor
last year, was out in an attack on Viii

Bryan's gift of 81. 500 to the Populist
National Committee was with the I'm
derstanding that no action against
fusion should. be taken by the National
Populist Convention. Mr.. Allen made
a sweeping denial. He said MI. Bryan
had determined to divide the royalties
on his book, and in doing so he allotted
81, 500 to the sPopulist party. The draft
was sent tolMr. Allen, but the Chair
man Of the Populist National Commit
tee, Senator Butler of North Carolina,
declined to accept it. Thereupon, at
the suggestion of Mr.. Bryan, Mi. Allen
invested the amount, to be used in the
interest Of bimetallism. MI. Allen de.
clared that the statement that any
agreement existed as to fusion in con
nection with the gift was ian absolute
and unqualified falsehood." There had
never been, he declared, an attempt to
fuse the parties, either nationally or
locally. Mr.. Allen also specifically de-
MED the statement that Mr.. Bryan
forged his (Mr. Allen'e) name to the
list appended to the letter of notifca-
ton. The Senator closed with a high
tribute to Mi. Bryan and an arraign-
ment of Prof. B3teman. Mr.. Butler
stated briefly that the offer was made
to him, but he felt that the acceptance
might be open to misconstruction. The
offer had been made, he said, without
