English Manufacturers Aroused.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Consul Hal
stead. Of Birmingham England, re-
ports To the state department that
there is great awakening going or
among the English manufacturers
over the disastrous possibilities OF
American trade competition. A new
trade paper there has met with a most
cordial reception, he says and the
news columns Of both daily and trade
papers are filled with facts about
American trade while the matter is
given serious editorial discussion,
which In English daily papers means
much more serious consideration than
the same editorial space devoted to a
like subject in the average Ameri.
can newspaper. In last weeks issue
Of the particular trade paper referred
to Mr.. Halstead says that fully twelve
900 word columns are devoted to Amer
lean trade matters about one-haaf

ports.

The few remedies which have at
tanned TO worldwide fame, as truly
beneficial in effect and giving satisfac-
ton to millions OF people everywhere,
are the products of the knowledge of
the most eminent physicians, and pre-
scented in the form most acceptable 70
the human system by the skill of the
worlds great chemists; and one Of the
most successful examples is the Syrup
of Figs manufactured by the Califor-
MIA Fig Syrup Co. Unlike host Of
limitations and cheap substitutes. Syrup
of Figs is permanently beneficial in its
effects, and therefore lives and pro-
notes good health, while inferior prep
arations are being cast aside and for
gotten. In Olden times if a remedy
gave temporary relief to individuals
here and there. il was thought good;
but nowadays q laxative remedy
must give satisfaction 10 all. If 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 overfeeding, or from colds,
headaches, biliousness, or other ills re-
sulting from an inactive condition of
the kidneys. liver and bowels.
IN the process or manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California 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 excellent combination of
plants known to be incidentally laxa-
tive and to act most beneficially. As
the true and original remedy, named
Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only, knowl-
edge Of that fact will assist in avoid
ing the worthless limitations manufac-
tured by other parties. The company
has selected for years past the lead
ing 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 its advertising col

PARKER TO SUCCEED.
Made Rock Island Manager in Place
of Truesdalc.

II. a. Parker, second yice-preSident
OF the Rock Island road, was yesterday
appointed general manager of thu road
vice W. III. Truesdale, who has been
elected president of the Lackawanna.
MIR. Parker will have charge of all
transportation matters, but reports and
communications relative to the freight
and passenger departments will be
handled by the heads of those depart
mentS instead OF by the general man
ager. The position of first vice-presi-
dent is left open for the present. The
following promotions were also an
nounced, all effective March i: H.
Cover, general freight agent, to be as
sistant freight traffic manager, with OIL
flee at Chicago; L. b. Boyd, general
freight agent lines west of the Missouri
river, to be general freight agent lines
east of the river, vice ii. Cover, pro-
noted; II. II. Embry, commercial
agent at Buffalo, to be general freight
agent lines west of the Missouri river,
with office at Topeka, vice +. b. Boyd,
promoted. 1t will be seen that all
these promotions have come to officials
already in the service of the company,
the management preferring TO stand
by civil-service principles rather than
30 outside for new men.
II. A. Parker has been in the contin-
uous service of the Rock Island road
since 1866. with the exception Of one
period OF less than two years. He was

lOOsa & Knoxville division. For tho
next nine years he was divisional en-
gineer of the Illinois division and from

IN THE GREAT NORTHWEST
Letter From the Kansas and Nebraska
Delegates to Dauphin.

Prince Albert, Sask:,
18th August, 1898.
William McCreary, Esq, Immigra-
lion Commissioner, Winnipeg, Man:
Sir-We. the undersigned delegates
from Kansas and Nebraska, L. S. A, in
reporting the results of our trip TO
Dauphin. and subsequently to Regina,
Prince Albert and the middle Sas-
katchevan country, beg to say that our
tickets were limited to 81 days, and as
we had other large regions to visit, we
could only spend a short time in the
Dauphin country. We examined, how
ever, the principal cultivated areas in
the southern parts Of township 70,
range 10, the great wheat fields OF Wis
mart, Buchanan, Owen, Smith, Ross,
Sinclair. the Whitmores, Drinkwaters,
etc. and subsequently, others to the
north, and never, in our experience,
have we seen finer grain. The whole
country is watered by numerous
streams flowing from the slopes OF
Riding Mountain, and excellent we'll
water is found everywhere at from to
IS feet. Extensive forests of spruce
and tamarack cover the northern parts
of the mountains, from which timber
is manufactured in Dauphin and else
where, and sold at So a thousand
at the mills. Wild hops and wild fruits
are abundant, and ripen in the open
air. Vegetation throughout is surpris-
ingly luxuriant, and without hesita-
ton we would rank the whole region
amongst the best grain growing areas
of the continent. The output Of wheat
last year was about $4,000 bushels, but
this year it is estimated at over a mil
lion. Westward lie tie homestead
lands which now, and when fresh sur
veys are completed, will afford COM
Portable homes to thousands of dill
gent families. The great Gilbert
Plains, also, we were unable to visit,
where grain growing has been conduct
ed with the best results for years, and
which will become a vast wheat field
as soon as a branch railway reaches
there Settlement Is speeding in all
these regions, reminding us indeed OF
the early days in our own states; and,
as we have examined, since our visit TO
Dauphin, a portion of the great coun-
try lying south and east of Prince Al
bert, we can readily imagine the tide
of immigration which will soon flow
into the Canadian west

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has introduced q new feature in its
sleeping car service arranging to at
tach an ordinary sleeper in addition
to the regular first-claSs sleeper now in
service on through trains. Commence
ing with February Is one of these cars
will be attached to train No. 6 leaving
Chicago $3.50 p. IN. and arriving In
Pittsburg next morning at 6:45. and
returning leave Pittsburg on No. 5 at
1920 p. m. and arriving in Chicago
next morning 1T 10 a. m. Also on
train No. leaving. Baltimore at p.
IN. and arriving in Newark at 1922 a..
m. next day. Returning on train No.
8 leaving Newark at $3.50 p. m. and
arriving at Baltimore at 1888 p. m.
next day The innovation will be that
in these ordinary sleepers Pullman
rates are reduced one-half so that
passengers have the choice Of paying
the highest price Pullman rate or take
advantage of the cheaper rate otered
in ordinary cars. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is the first line to intro
duce this service and its popularity
has been predicted.
