An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be.
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. tt.
is the one perfect strengthening laxa--
tive, cleansing the system effectually,,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers.
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

Failure 10 Agree as tn Price stops Me-
gotintions for city Ownership
OF Detroit street Railways.

Detroit, Mich. May 10.-Negotiations
for municipal ownership Of Detroit's
street railways have come to halt.
The situation gives little apparent hope
for reaching of an agreement as 10
price and terms of purchase between
the city's street railway commissioners
and the owners of the street railways.
The commissioners are reticent, aud
Tom l.. johnson, who has conducted ne
gotiations for the street car companies,
declined TO be interviewed. According
to the attitude of the commissioners
there must he some concession by the
companies or municipal ownership and
operation. as at present contemplated.
cannot be accomplished. Airport upon
the situation had been looked for NJ
Tuesday nights regular meeting of the
city council. but none was filed.
The aim OF Gov. Pingree and the 9th
er members of the commission has been
To buy out the companies AT a price
which would fairly cover the value OF
the properties and present franchises
and nj the same time enable them TO OPP
crate the roads under threc-cent fares.
The law authorizing the purchase pro.
vides that the entire purchase price be
paid out OF the earnings of the roads.
The price named by Mr.. johnson. az
representative of Il. Il. Wilson. of New
York, and other owners of the roads.
Is stated TO have been $l5, 1925, 900 cash or
its equivalent. The equivalent proposed
was Sl7,1o0000 i'm four per cent. bonds
TO cover the commission assets. thc
same TO be secured by 30-year security
franchise which would provide six for
quarter fares on all the roads. in
GLIDING those now operated nj eight for
n quarter fares. The latter feature was
point of disagreement, the commits
sion refusing TO agree 10 n raising OF
fares on the newer (three-cent fare)
lines in the event of default and reyer-
sion of the roads TO the companies. The
commissions final proposal seems 10
have been 10 buy the roads at SIS, 500-
600 III the companies would extend the
option (Which expires May 14) for 90
days. 10 allow the commission opportu-
nifty to sell the bonds at par and pay
over the cash. In case of failure To sell
the bonds. they to be turned over To the
companies and the price increased 10
about $l6,000,000, secured by 30-year
franchise following expiration OF the
present franchises. Mr.. Wilson, after
consideration, declined TO accept other
than his original price OF SIS, 1926, 900
cash or it's equivalent of s17,i00,O0O in
four per cent. bonds.
In addition to the failure OF the ne
gotiations at the present stage the legal
situation is uncertain The state SUI
preme court is now preparing its deci-
sion in proceeding against the com
mission TO test the constitutionality OF
the Mcleod act. An injunction suit To
restrain the commission from acting is
also pending in local court.

PRESIDENT REcUPERATINa
His visit ~ Hot Springs IL Improv-
ing HIS condition-Plensed mt
News from samoa

Hot Springs, Va, May 1.-THE re-
assuring news forwarded from Apia by
Admiral Kautz was source Of relief
TO the president. The extent 10 which
he is being allowed freedom from Off
cial cares is evidenced by the fact that
not even this welcome information was
forwarded 10 him, his knowledge of the
fact being given through the press rep
resentative here. The president ex-
pressed his pleasure over the renewed
assurances that the Samoan situation is
SO peaceful. With the tripartite COM
mission now at the islands, further
bloodshed is not anticipated. During
the morning Mr.. Mckinley gave some
attention 10 the forthcoming civil serv-
Ice order. He has number of papers
before him relating 10 the matter, but
Is handicapped by being absent from
touch with the officials upon whose
Judgment he must depend 10 some ex-
tent for the effect OF the order I'm the
various departments Of the govern
ment. The final order need not be ex-
pected for some days.
Whether il is the effect of his abso-
lutc ftluNtIion from uulltSs the uIN at
mosphere, or the result of his medic
nal bath. this treatment having been
begun Wednesday. or of them all. the
president is recuperating rapidly. A
gentleman who has known him for
many years, after seeing him, said that
he never knew the president TO appear
to be i'm better health. His color, he
explained, was an apparent statement
OF facts in itself. Friends of the execu-
tive are much annoyed by stories that
Mr.. Mckinley is smoking excessively
and injuriously. Friends in our new
island possessions have sent him guam
titles of cigars of various brands, but
they have remained untouched. An
aftermeaI cigar is a source of thorough
enjoyment TO the president, but he does
not indulge himself To an extent that
is harmful. A number of commissions
were signed by the president Wednes-
day. most Of them being army promo
tions. The formal announcements viii
he made from Washington.

NO PLOW TRUST.

South Bend, Ind, May 10. The Oliver

panies deny that they have entered the
trust and state that the meeting held
i'm Chicago Monday was to consider
matters of mutual interest. They state,
however, that Judge Vincent, of Chi
cago, promoter, desires to form pillow
combination and has submitted prop
osition embodying $25,0O0,0O0 of pre-
ferred stock and $25,OO0,o0O OF common,
but his proposals met with very little
consideration. Some pillow men are ia
vorable TO combine. but the South
Bend companies are not. No pillow com
pany of consequence has given an OPP
ton upon it's plant.

Meridian, Miss, May l0.A depiorabIe
tragedy was enacted at Okoiona, Miss.

volver, and shot Clarke TO death. Wal

REUNION OF THE GRAY.
rhirty-Fiye Thousand Visitors and
Veterans Take Possession of
Charleston, y. L.

Charleston, ;. c., May il.-Almost the
first official act of the ninth annual re-
union of the United Confederate Vet
Grams, which began its sessions Wednes-
day, was an attempt by Gen. Stephen
ID. Lee, of Mississippi, to secure an in
dorsement of President Mckinley \ sug-
gestion, made in his recent Atlanta
speech, that the care of the graves of
the confederate dead should be under
taken by the federal government. Ac-
ton on the resolution was frustrated
by motion To refer il to the committee
on resolutions. As this committee is
yet To be appointed il is not probable
that the matter will be taken up to-day,
and the ultimate fate of the resolution
is problematical. The motion 10 refer
originated with DIR. j William Jones,
of Virginia, and met'with some opposi-
ton. Mr.. Il. III. Busbee, of North Caro-
lima. thought the resolution should be
referred. IL would do no harm 10 refer
and no disrespect was intended. Every
royal confederate appreciated the cour-
tesy and good intentions of President
Mckinley, he said, nj Atlanta. But Mr..
Busbee said that there had ought 20 he
n distinction between graves in Chi
cago or Columbia and those on the
fields of Virginia and the south.
There is "A difference between the
graves and their care. Here there are
those who willingly and cheerfully take
care of the graves of the noble heroes
(pointing i'm the direction of the boxes
filled with ladies). In the north and
east there may not be those loving
hands, and that is why | say there is a
distinction" After this il was decided
without further discussion that the
committee on resolutions.
A conservative estimate places the
number OF visitors az between $4,000
and $4,000. The business sessions of
the reunion was called 10 order Wednes-
day morning by Gen. c. /. Walker.
When John b. Gordon. the commander
in chief. appeared upon the stage he
received a tremendous ovation. The
old confederate chieftain was present
ed by Gen. Walker and delivered an elo-
quent address. When he closed Gen.
Gordon led Mrs. Stonewall Jackson to
the front of the stage, and she was en-
Enthusiastically applauded.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis was introduced
by Gen. Gordon MS the one whom JEFF
ferson Davis loved better than the con-
federacy and better than his own life.
As Mrs. Davis stepped TO the platform
the veterans went wild with enthusi-
asm.
The parade of the veterans occurred
in the afternoon and fully 10000
marched through dense crowd of
cheering people, led by Gems Gordon
and Wade Hampton. At intervals along
the line the fluttcring of a war-worn
and shot-torn flag called forth cheers,
while many heads were barred as the
frayed emblems ola dead cause cleaned
over some organization whose name is
household word 10 the south. Hamp-
ton and Gordon were cheered vocifer-
ously at every step and rode almost the
entire route with barred heads. The alb
sence of Gen. Wheeler in the line was a
source of considerable disappointment.
He reached the city early in the day,
but did not participate in the parade.
