no poor sidewalks. Many property
owners are voluntarily tearing ~
their old board walks and building
cement or vitrifled brick walks, and
many more intend TO do so soon.
Among them are w. H. Maddy and

OF having the cObble stone walk from

Elliots's place on North Washington

brick. The experience of those who
have laid brick walks is that they do
not cost any more than a coed board

Of town, and the owners intend to put
down substantial walks as svon as
they are completed.

\ Former WeIlingtonian Missing.

.
John Stewart, one OF the most pop
nlar men on the Rock Islaud railroad,
who is employed as foreman Of bridges,
has been missing from his home In
Wichita for some time, aud up to
Thursday night no trace Of him could
be found. So alarmed did his family
become at his absence from home that
foul play was feared. A son, who is
employed down in the territory, was
summoned by telegraph and arrived
in Wichita Thursday afternoon.
Stewart lived with his family in Wei.
lington until about year ago, when
he moved to Wichita. He is well
known here, and has many yelling.
ton friends who will regret to learn OF
his mysterious disappearance.
10 speaking Of his disappearance,
the Beacon says: A vigorous search
was hegun for the missing nan with
out success, and the matter was re-.
ported to police headquarters, where
it was learned that he was yetin town.
The entire force was notified to be on
the watch and ifthe man was found to
noLify his family Immediately. So
thoroughly alarmed did shis friends
and fellow workmen become lest dan
ger had befallen him that they worked
necessarily in an effort to fad the
man, and we're rewarded late in the
evening by fndiDga clue to his where.
abOutS. la the meantime Detective
Sutton and Officer Fox had found him.
He appeared rational and answered
their questions as to his disappear
ance and where he had been, saying
he had been on a trip 10 the territory,
but refused to accompany the officers
to his home, saying he had some hus-
mess to attend to and was perfectly
able to take care Of himself. The
officers, believing Stewart to be sin.
cere, warned him to hurry as the
family we're 10 an anxious state. But
Stewart failed to keep his promise,
and was discovered by bis friends
some time later, still walking around.
He was Induced to walk home with
them and when near the house, and
while his friends were informing the
family Of his safe return, Stewart dis
appeared aud was hot seen again. No
reason can be given for his strange
actions, as be is a sober and indus
triOus workman and has a host OF
friends who are worried over his un-
usual conduct. Stewart is the father
Of happy family and lives in a COM
fOItable home at Second and Wabash.
His friends are sure that his absence
is only temporary, aud that lie will
return to his family without delay
when he realizes their alarm.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG 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 tc the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
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 senna and
