Eight Hour Law Declared Void.

Denver, July l9.-The supreme court
unanimously decided the eighthour law to
be unconstitutional.
The eight-hour law which was enacted
at the late session of the legislature, APP
plies only to mines, smelters and mills for
the reduction of ores. The refusal of the
American Smelling and Refining Company
to pay the same wages for eight hours,
caused its smelters to be closed on June
18th, when the new law became operative.
This company, which is known as the
Smeter Trust, will now endeavor to reach
an agreement with its former employees as
to wages and hours of labor, and to re-
open its smelters as soon as possible.
Officers of the Smeltermen's Union say
that the furnacemen who formerly worked
twelve hours day will work eight in the
future.

about II miles from Spokane. The young
man had been gored and badly bruised by

out of reach of the animal and had
crawled several feet away from the place
where the animal was tied.

oner to Boy Naval Prizes.

Washington, July l4.-An offer from a
prominent firm, of ship brokers doing a
large foreign business to purchase the
Reina Mercedes and any and all of the
other war craft captured during the late
war has aroused suspicion that Spain is
trying in this indirect manner to obtain
the possession of the vessels and thus ie
remove offense to Spanish pride caused by
the floating of the American flag over her
ships. The navy department viii not sell
any Of these vessels, and that answer will
be returned to the writer Of tse letters.

Sometimes unpleasantries or contro-
versies arise between factions. or indi-
viduals, and sides are taken by respect
I've friends or admirers; and when we
hear one side of the story we are in
clined to think the party Of one side
has been badly used and the other
much to blame; but when we hear the
other side of the story we find the mat
ter quite different from what we first
supposed. and If both sides are not to
blame we may find the supposed inno-
cent party most to blame.

OF THE UITLANDERs.
Nine Thousand of Them Say Dom
Paul Is All Right.

New York, July ls.--A special from
Washington says:
The Boer government has transmitted to
the United States copy of a petition ad-
dressed to it by 5000 Uitlanders denying
that the present government in the Trans
vaal is tyrannical, as declared by other
uitlanders supported by Great Britain.
The petition was circulated in May and
addressed to the Boer government and
copy of it has been received at the state
department.
Sir Alfred Miner, the British high CON-
missioner, in writing to Mr.. Chamberlain
concerning the petition, declares that it
was generally discredited and it is openly
stated that the signatures had been OBJ
tanned through the instrumentality of
government officials and railway servants,
who are mostly naturalized.
In diplomatic circles here the opinion
is expressed that the Boer government has
transmitted copies of the petition to tho
governments named therein in order to
convince them there is little truth in the
British statement and to prevent any of
them from joining Great Britain in EN-.
deavoring to secure better treatment for
the Uitlanders
instructions to HOwisOn,
The feeling prevailing in administration
circles is shown by the instructions sent
today to Rear Admiral Howison, directing
him to continue his cruise
The admiral reported his arrival at Cape
town from Pretoria and that the Chicago
was ready to sail, and the fact that he
made no mention of the situation and
failed to recommend that warship be
sent to Delagoa bay shows conclusively
to the minds of the officials that he is
satisfied the situation is calm and that
there is no danger of war.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting

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.

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 a method
