Who's to Blamel

News from Madrid says that Gen
Martinez Campos has insisted upon
the appointment of a commission
to investigate the conduct of the
war and to place the responsibility.
Carelessness and neglect all through
the war gave rise to the most disas-
trous conditions, but no more dan
gerous than comes from neglect Of
the health. 1t is every ones duty
TO guard his health. 1t is easier to
keep it than regain it. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters taken honestly will
not only create health, but will pre-
serve it. 1t is the medicine which
for fifty years has made weak stom-
achs strong, and has overcome that
terrible dragon, dyspepsia, and all
the evils such as constipation, bill
iousness, kidneys and liver troubles,
malaria and fever and ague, which
follow in its train.

We sound a warning note now to
the poor but honest toilers of this
country, to be on their guard, or
ere they are aware of their impend'
ing doom it will be upon them-this
scheme of the gold-worshiping i'm
perialists to increase the standing
army is for the purpose, with 9th
ers, of in time making suffrage a sa
cred right based on property. It's
coming, as sure as the present gang
succeed in prolonging their robber
rule And when it does come the
poor man will no longer be a voter
but a serf, a vassal, a slave-and he
alone will be to blame. He who
would be free must arouse from bis
lethargy before it is forever too
late.

and Mrs. Percy 7, Fem will give a
reception at their home on Pine
street, to all the members OF st
James church and congregation.
AS many members of the congrega-

rector, no written invitations can
be issued. 1t is hoped, however,
that all such will consider them

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYEUP 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 to 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 SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA F1e SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
