THE 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
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, q knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
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 its beneficial

ANOTHER LOAD OF NEGROES.

Chicago, Oct. N.-President T, G..
Loucks of the Chicago Virden Coal com.
pany made the following statement last
night: Our employees, having waited
at Atlanta in order TO get to their des.
tination without further attack from
mob violence and TO begin the labors
they were hired TO perform asked that
they be again brought TO Virden. Thei,
train accordingly left Atlanta at 4
o'clock and arrived at Virden at 20.
Mr.. Gray. general superintendent OF the
Chicago a. Alton railroad company. told
me that when the train arrived his con.
ductor was ordered by the officer in
command of the troops to not unload
his passengers, but 20 take them and the
train out OF town. The conductor took
the train TO Girard, five miles beyond
Virden, where he stopped and asked
for orders as TO the disposition Of his
passengers. Mr.. Gray wired for such
disposition. We replied that the mat
ter was out of our hands as soon as oul
employees reached Virden. and that II
the military authorities had the power
to do a thing like this 1t was question

that redress therefore would be later

Spanish War and the Magazines.
There was u good Deal of uncertainty
among magazine publishers when the
Hispano- American war broke out concern
ing the policy of the editors who hastened
to publish matter having direct reference
To the contest. in some quarters II WAS
held that such war articles as have been
staple in Scribner's. MoClure's and one
or two other monthlies were altogether
too journalistic in scope, and that readers
who had been stated with war matter in
the newspapers would hardly be pleased
to SEQ more OF 1t In their favorite period
ioal.
But the salos Of the magazines making
use of crisp, up to date articles on the war
have been such as fully to. justify the
course of their editors I'm including them in
the monthly contents and the indications
are that magazine readers are still in
tensely interested in war articles. Charles
Scribner's Sons have long ago run short
of copies of the August number, and have
supplied the demand for September copies
only by reprinting, while the call for Oc-
tober copies has been SO great and long
continued that the presses have only just
ceased turning them out.

WORK OF A FAKER.
Alleged Report Of the Naval Board Was
Fabrication.

Alleged Report Of the Naval Board Was
Fabrication.
Washington. Oct. l4-The publication
of what purported 10 be the report Of ths
Wainwright board on the parts taken by
tho respective vessels OF the United
States feet In the destruction of Ger
vera's squadron caused considerable
commotion in the navy department. In
view OF the fact that the report had not
reached Washington at the date of the
publication, an inquiry was set on foot
by the department. to ascertain first
whether the publication was accurate,
and second. who was responsible for the
discourtesy involved I'm the publication
OF an official report before Il had reached
the navy department. Commander
Wainwright the head OF the board, very
promptly disclaimed any knowledge of
the publication, saying that he had left
instructions that the report was TO be
transmitted by the recorder, Lieutenant
Capehart, to the commander OF the North
Atlantic station, Commodore Philip.
The commodore. in answer to AN inquiry,
returned the following dispatchi IL saw
iNPOIl VA w DOaAb oi tiiii'
tonight. Articles in the papers manu-.
factured by a reporter entire: no word
of semblance between the two"
Commodore Philip has not transmitted
the document TO the department, but
something is known OF Its general char
acter, and this knowledge tends to show
a misconception OF the functions OF this
board. Admiral Sampson. who appoint
ed the board, chose the navigators OF
the vessels I'm the feet that were en-
gagged i'm the battle of July 3. He made
but one exceptions In the case OF his own
flagship. the New York. refusing 10
nominate a member The nayigators OF
the Brooklyn. the Gloucester. the Texas,
Iowa and Indiana were all members of
this board: but the New York had no
representative. 1t was directed TO ascer.
tain and report the positions OF the ves-
sells engaged i'm this action. 1t did not
exceed this instruction i'm any point In
its report, which comprises very little
more than chart on which the positions
of the vessels are defined. This chart is
the result Of the combination of all the
data contained in the separate charts
made by the various navigating officers
of the fleet. The report is said 10 be
unanimous, being signed by the navigat-
Ing officer Of the Brooklyn along with
the others. IL draws no conclusions;
makes no deductions: and neither takes
from nor gives credit to any officer of the
American fleet from the admiral down.
To do so would be TO exceed the instruc-
tions TO the board; and what IL has pre-
sented other than the instructions is, as
already stated. nothing more than a dia-
gram from which the facts may be
CLEANED by individual inspection
