TIIE 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, a 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 a 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
effects, please remember the name of

CANADIAN TREATY
The British Government SiiiI Hopes
 For One.

London. Feb. 23-The government. especially the colonial office. has by no means lost hope of q fruitful outcome of the negotiations fer q new conner
 c.a1 treaty between the United States
 and Canada. It leans toward an ad-
 justment of questions up1n which the
 commission agrees. leaving the rest
 open to future discussion. Naturally
 there is no defnitive decision on this score, as the colonial office still seeks
 slenuo67,y senceal agreement,
 finding encoufagcment in scme recent
 incidents at Washington. A Ions pause in the negotiations for personal consultations here is not unlikely.
 The discussion Of Lord Berosford's Cuadluple Chinese plan, % faras caDlel interviews with him 1e1 cal it. is some 'vhat chilly His critics urge, first, that he underestimate the difficulties to 2 quadruple understanding, pal!s.cu- larly the German desire tu- keep on good terms with Russia, the cardinal pTincipla Of the German foreign policy. Second, he does not appreciate tho enc nous responsibilities and burdens ot proppiag up China. Third, Ae is influenced unduly by views, not always safe, of European merchants in Chi resa ports. Psr contra his scheme finds f1v1r among the Anglo-Chineso' trading and speculative interests here ard among the Russopho5es. Huge projects ike Lord BeresfoId's are lit tie likely to appaa! to the cautious and pezsimistic Salisbury. whose Chine=e policy, while much dependent uron conditions there seems rather aiming at 2 definite understanding with Rus sia.
 Tn quarters cl>se b Cecil Rhodes ru:c--s are current cf an agreement between Portugal and England by which England will virtually govern the Delagca ter itory, undertaking in exchange the supervision and 1ehaoili- tation of Portuguese finance. Circum- stances known in less interested quar- ta-s give some color to these rumors.

THE PRICE OF CATTLE.
Arguments Of Buyers in Favor Of q
 Reduction


 1Ir. \. E. De Ricqles, the popular manager of Clay. Robinson 6 Co. s Denver house, spent Friday and Sat uIGay in Wilcox and while here was seen by many of C~r cattlement AIr De RicQles was making his annual trip of observation. having gone to Cali fCrnia via UtIh and Nevada, and being then en route home through Arizona and New Mexico. This week he will be in Chicago and will meet there Mir \. c. McCCrkle Of the Eureka Springs Stock company, whose herd ranges in the western part of Graham county. MT. De RicqIes is bearish in his views regarding prices. He argues that the northern rdngenen cannot afford to pay for young steers the p-ice5 which spectators gave last year, and urges in confirmation Of this view the fact that whereas IaSt year at this time fully fifty thousand cattle had been contracted fo- sale in southern Arizona this year there has been cnly one con tract made, that Of the San Simon Cat tie company. He bought no cattle while here but made an offer of $15 for one bunch Of good ye2rIings. He be- EeVes that, ewing to the high prices asked, few cattle will be contracted in advance of the shipping season and that owners will have to lower their figures, ship their cattle to the open market, or hold them over.
 We publish the foregoing so that our patrons may know what arguments the buyers have to offer On the whole, we think the prospect fer cattle sales is improving. A focaI comm.s- sion man reports having received nu- marous inquiries as to prices, the let ters conveying the impression that the northern men expect our breeders to ask about S19 for yeariings, and there fore think it useless to come. Arizona stockmen, on the other hand, have been led to believe that they would be offered SIP Or $13 and have therefore not thought it worth while to quote prices. The average price last year was about S1650. We know of 9 gccd bunch that is offered 3 ST and under stand that some yearlings can be bought for less. There seems to be good reason to believe that buyers and sellers will get together at the Fc4. Worth convention next month.-Range News.

BRADLEY-MARTINs TO STAY
England Their Permanent Home. To
 Sell the New York Establishment.

London Feb. 23.-Mrs Bradle Mar tin it is now asserted has decided finally to take up her res: :dence al together in England and sell her Ne v York establishment. She intends to entertain laviskly during the conf g London season.
 The radIey-Martins' emigration to England may be laid to the famOu5 ball given by Mrs Martin in Janrary, 1897. When the family came from AL bdEy, with the intention of gain ng Q place in New York society in the early '90s, it's social entertainments ec3ipsed all similar events. The cost of Cn ? bail was placed at $30,0OO The las. ball given by Mrs Martin was 8 fancy dress affair, in which the flowers. mU- sic, faFOrs and costumes were esti n atad to have cost $500 0J0. This lavish expenditure aroused wide criticism alc the Martins were under constant D. O. tectiOn of guards. By many, 1t W27 held that the ball had been q direct benefit to the poor, giving employment to many.
 The ball was a success and none O.: the predicted tragedies occurred. But Mrs. Martin felt that New York had not accepted the affair in it's true spirit and left for England, where her daughter is the Countess of Craven. Now the Bradley Martins will stay there to join the William Waldorf As tors, the L1rillard-Ropaldses and ether self-eXpatriated Americans
