Through the Leading Newspapers.
The few remedies which have attained
to worldwide fame, as truly beneficial in
effect and giving satisfaction to millions
Of people everywhere, are the products Of
the knowledge of the most eminent ply
s~icians, and presented in the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skill of the worlds great chemist; and one
of the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike n host Of
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup OF
Figs Is permanently beneficial in its eff
fects, and therefore lives and promotes
good health, while inferior preparations
are being cast aside and forgotten. In
olden times il n remedy gave temporary
relief to individuals here and there, it was
thought good; but nowadays a laxative
remedy must give satisfaction to all. IL
you have never used Syrup OF Figs, give it
a trial, and you will be pleased with it,
and will recommend it to your friends or
to any who suffer from constipation, or
from overlooking, or from colds, head
aches, biliousness, or other ills resulting
from an inactive condition of the kidneys,
liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the Cal
ifornia Fig Syrup Co., and named Syrup
of Figs, figs are used, as they are pleasant
to the taste; but the medicinal properties
Of the remedy are obtained from an excel.
lent combination Of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and to act most bene
fcially. AS the true and original remedy
named Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. only, 9
knowledge Of that fact will assist II
avoiding the worthless limitations manu-
featured by other parties. The company
has selected for years past the leading
publications of the United States through
which to inform the public Of the merits
of its remedy, and among them this
paper is included, as will be seen by
reference to our advertising columns.

A FAMOUS BOND CASE.

A Stubborn Missouri County and It's
ted States Courts-Debt of Million
and Half Dollars-Offers of Compro-
mise
For several months three officials, the
county judges of ST. Clair county, few
miles east of Kansas City, have been
hiding in the woods lodging the mar
shals of the United States court They
have had the backing of almost the en-
tire population of the county, which is
organized into an immense detective
force in their interest. They are carry
ing on contest waged for a quarter of
century, and one which has resulted
for a decade in the county judges being
literally elected to prison-unless they
could dodge the officers of the courts, as
in the present instance.
Missouri prejudices run deep. When
the backwoods native makes up his
mind, he does not change it except I'M
der extraordinary circumstances, and in
this instance there has been long peri
cd of intense feeling to set the opinions
of st. Clair county people as in adam
ant. The story of the fight is unique,
and is history Of the most famous
bond-issue in the west, If not in the en-
tire alton.
In 1870 the people Of st. Clair, Henry,
Cass, Knox and Dallas counties issued
bonds for a new railroad, which was to
run through the county seats and make
of the Sherwood forest of western Mis-
souri, civilized community. The bonds
called for by the st. Clair county court

on and constructed some grading, also
blasting a hole through hill near the
courthouse. This cut Is about the only

DR.. Hubbell arrived, with his favorite
assistants, Misses Trotzig, Adams and
Belts. First the sick were taken in
hand. The Civil hospital, founded sew
enty years ago and during the war used
| by the Spanish army, was in such a
dreadful state that the old pest-house
was preferred for temporary refuge

were finally moved into place of per-
feet sanitation, placed in clean beds and
given proper food and intelligent care,
their delight and that of the town was
good to witness; and that the change
was beneficial may be inferred from the
| fact that whereas the death-rate for

AS for Mr. Gorrigas' orphanage, the
old building was pronounced too vile to
be renovated, and large and better
building on the outskirts of the city was
secured, where the children have pure
air and plenty of room. An adjoining
field, lying along the river, has been
added, fenced and provided with tents
for laundry purposes. The children
use the field as a playground and
battle in the clear stream. New
clothes We're provided all around new
sheets and pillow-cases and the store
house well stocked with simple food.
It was lovely to see the waits, big and

YALE VERSUS N. Y. A. c.

AT Yale field this afternoon the Yale
university baseball team will play their
last game before the first of the cham
pionship series with the Princeton Tlg-
ers which takes place next Saturday at
Yale field. Yale's opponents this after
noon will be the New York Athletic club
team, which is for the most part COM
posed of old college players who are re-
siding in New York. Among those who
are expected to play to-day are the two
Greenways, Jack and Gil, the former
one of Yale's famous pitchers, and the
latter captain of last years nine. Their
visit will doubtless be the occasion of
rousing demonstration by the under
graduates. The other members of the
nine are we'll known Harvard, Prince
ton and Cornell players. Robertson will
probably pitch for Yale.
