TIE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
ali the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one II avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALL
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. IN order to get it's beneficial
effects, please remember the zane of

SENATOR VESTts CONDITION.

A dispatch from New York says:
Senator Vest is lying critically i'll at
Asbury Park, and his physicians de-
spair Of his recovery. The trouble is
with his kidneys, and while the doctors
are not willing to make the announce
ment officially, it is understood they
have fears of Bright'g disease. Sena-
tor Vest has been out of sorts for
nearly q year, and during the last ses-
sion took very little part in the pro-
oeedlngs. He came TO the capitol
nearly every day, but seldom occupied
his seat in the senate. Most of his
time was spent in his committee room
or lying upon a lounge in the cloak
room. 1t is not believed that he will
ever be able to return TO his duties.

The NJ. .Joseph Fair.

Iowa and Nebraska have abandoned
their state fairs for this year and there is
no doubt but that the coming Old FASH
Toned Fair to be held at st. Joseph,
August p to q, will be the greatest event
OF the Middle West, in the way of an
agricultural exposition for 1895. The
premium list now ready and beng sent
out by the thousand, In answer to the
many applications received by Secretary
Palmer l.. CLARK, is a decided novelty,
rejecting great credit on the able manage
ment and every interesting page furnishes
the most positive evidence Of the success
OF the undertaking. The list OF premiums
Is extended and the prizes generous. The
rules fair and liberal. The fair grounds
and Improvements have been enlarged
and extended. The course, for years
known as one Of the best regulation mile
tracks in the country over which the
noted horses Of each season compete for
first honors, is In the finest possible con-
dition and already a large number Of
horses are in training there for the splen-
did speed program, embracing as 1t does,
fourteen trotting and pacing events and
twelve running races, thereby insuring
four or more exciting races ZACH Of the
six days, with ample accommodations for
all; water pipe to all parts OF the grounds
from the city water works; two lines Of
double track electric street car service to
the gates from SIX a. m. to midnight, Ave

city. With its remodeled and enlarged
hotels, it's many new ana popular priced
and boarding houses, there
Is little left to be desired on the part Ct

August.
This year, as last, Secretary Clark pro.
poses to pay all premiums In cash AZ

TO treat every patron fair and alike, there
will be no iayoritism. The same efficient
police system will prevail that last season
prevented disturbance of any kind. Free
evening entertainments are being arrang-
cd for at the beautiful Krug Park and
Athletic Park ball grounds, embracing
the celebrated colored Jubilee Singers at
the former, and all the latest Moving War
Pictures at the latter place. This season,

An Improvement IN Horse Blankets,

Some OF the most successful patents
eyer granted were for simple improve
ments, which were successful partly
because they were 80 simple that any
one could perceive their usefulness at a
glance. The latest Improvement in
horse blankets is of this character. The
patent is on the girths, which are on the
bias, the girlhs attached to the fore part
OF the blanket crossing under the
horses belly and buckling to the girths
attached to the hind part. These bias
girths prevent most Of the blanket
troubles Of horse owners and stablemen
keep the blanket always in position
without binding the horse. and save all
the blanket wear and tear caused by
slipping and trampling. Even by
rolling and kicking a horse cannot DIS
place the b%ias-girth blankets. A glance
at a horse blanketed with the hias-girth
blanket will show how beautifully the
blanket is kept IN place, very much on
the same pfiuclple that a mans suspen-
ders keep his trousers evenly hung, The
patent is owned by William Ayres &
Sons, Of Philadelphia, and bias girths
are found only on the famous 5-A horse
blankets made by that firm. A postal
card addressed 20 them will bring an
Interesting book on the horse blanket
question.
