An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa 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,
dispeliing colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manentiy. It's perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and SUBJ
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
Dther aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

$50 per annum, and on this count there
is now due $10.416.66; eight more hy-
drantS at $50 per year amount to $780,
making a total of s11,173.32.
In the second cause of action il is
stated that 100 hydrants at s75 per
year and eight at $50 per year were fur
nished with water to the present time,
and there is due 1881
The third allegation is that three hy-
drants and water were furnished from
July, 1896, to January, 1897. at $50. and
$50 is due< from Jan. 1. 1897, to jan 1,
1898, 100 hydrants at $50 per year, for
which $500 is due, and from Jan. l,
1898, to May 16, 1898, los hydrants at
$15 per year, making $3.50 due The
greater part of the amount named in
the third cause of action is covered in
the first.
They also maintain that they fur
nished 635,040 gallons per day for street
sprinkling, public places and build
ings from Jan. 1, 1898, to May 16, 1898,
which, at cents per 1000 gallons,
would amount to S15906.75.
As fourth cause of action the plain
tiffs declare that they supplied the city
with los hydrants and water at $75 per
annum from May Is, 1898. to the pres
ent time, amounting to 1855. They also
furnished water for street sprinkling
and for public places and buildings.
635,040 gallons per day, at cents per
1000 gallons, from May Is, 1898, to the
present time. amounting to $13,S74. The
water mentioned for hydrants in this
fourth cause of action is, to a great ex-
tent, the same covered in the second
cause. The repetition is made because
it is thought that the court might re-
quire this segregation of the various
counts.

to the United States have fallen eff 40
per cent as the result of the Dingley
tariff.
The Dresden chamber of commerce
complains loudly of the increase of
American competition, especially in
manufactured articles. and explains
that American superiority in the
worlds markets is due to the extraor-
binary activity of the United States
consuls and to the immense capital of
American manufacturing companies,
permitting the greatest possible division
of labor and specialization, enabling
them to produce cheaper, in spite of
higher wages.
The report admits that the Ameri-
cans sell at low. even cut-throat prices,
but explains this by the assertion that
high duties enable manufacturers TO
sell for high prices at home, while they
dispose of their supplies abroad at the
lowest prices. The rate of the falling
off in exports to the United States
leads to the views that expectation will
cease entirely, and that it will become
necessary for German manufacturers
to build branches in the United States.

The motive power of the Berlin street
cars is being rapidly changed from
horse to electricity. The result is that
collisions are daily occurring between

Telegraph boys will be eXperimentally

change will begin soon, with the sub

years of age.
A German officer has invented an
acetylene searchlight, which can be car
ried by one man, and which will il
illuminate everything for 100 yards. 1t
is expected to be of great use in search

in bridge-building at night.
The announcement that one of the
great American insurance companies
has decided to comply with the re-
quirements of the Prussian law in or
der to be readmitted to do business
here, is received with the greatest con-
Sternation in insurance circles. The
Deutsche Verisicherungs Zeitung this
week has strong protest, asserting
that experience shows that American
companies are untrustworthy, and
warning the government against CIV
ing them the right to do business here.

COMMENTS OF PAPERS
ENGLAND AND UNITED STATES
ARE RIDICULED.
Their Action In Regard to Bombs
Filled With Noxious Gases and
the Dumdum Bullet Viewed I'm
favorably-The Insincerity Of
Members.

Copyright, 1899 by the Associated Press.)
Berlin, July 29-The papers this week
have been giving their verdict OF the
outcome of the peace conference at
The Hague. The tone of the comment
of the papers friendly to the confer
ence generally is one of disappointment
that so little has been accomplished,
while those opposing indulge in gleeful
Fluctuations that no more was accom-
plished. The Tageblatt considers that
the form of the arbitration adopted
makes an important step toward secur-
ing the PEACE of the word, and adding:
''Whoever knows the toilsome way in
which progress of international law is
made, will be satisfied with this re-
suit"
The Post says: 1.-THE result shows
that those who had been neither too
optimistic nor too pessimistic in expec-
tations were in the right
The most important result the Post
sees is that a method is now open TO
nations for settling difficulties, saying:
while the conference has not ushered
In the millinneum, still it shows that the
powers are earnestly striving to pre-
serve for the peoples the blessings of
peace"
The National Liberal Boersen Zeitung
calls the final protocol funeral ora
ton and says the results equal zero.
The Kreuz Zeitung, referring to the
United States and England, says: THE
nations that boosted loudest Of their
humanity made the stoutest resistance
to really practical humanitarian propo-
sitions.''
The Kreuz Zeitung further points out
that while England and the United
States stood together in opposing the
prohibition of bombs filed with noxious
gases, the United States backed up
England's refusal to abandon the dunn
dunn bullet.
THE platonic declaration of the con-
ference for the principles of the cars
proclamation" the KreuZ Zeitung con-
tinues, introduces absolutely no
change in existing conditions"
The Agrarian Deutsche Tages lei
tung makes merry over the friends of
peace, whose cherished hopes are far
from being realized. The Socialist Vor-
waerts gives the conference a parting
shot, calling it a comedy.
Insincerity of Members.
"The hardest work of the members"
this journal says, was to refrain from
laughing in each others faces at their
own insincerity."
The Hague correspondent of the
Frankfurter Zeitung says: THE Amer
lean delegates are quite satisfied with
the achievements of the conference.
They played a very happy role, which
they were able to do through their
conciliatory position. 1t was chiefly due
TO this position of the Americans that
Germany was finally won over to the
plan of a permanent arbitration bureau.

Torpedo Boat Destroyer Goldsborough
Goes Into the Water.

Portland, Ore, July 29-The torpedo
boat destroyer Goldsborough was
launched this afternoon from the ways
at the yards of her builders, the Wolff
& Zwicker iron works. All the aux
iliary machinery and the condenser
were aboard the vessel when launched,
and the engines and boilers, which are
ready in the shops, will be installed
next week.
The contract speed of the Goldsbor-
ough is thirty knots per hour, and
this she must maintain for two con-
secutive hours. The length of the
Goldsborough is 19S feet over all Her
beam is twenty feet at the water line
and she. has a depth of eleven feet.
Her mean draught, loaded and ready
for trial, will be five feet four inches.
She will have displacement of about
$50 tons. fully equipped for service.
The Goldsborough is the first boat of
its type on which the overhanging
type of rudder has been used in the
United States. These improvements
are to be used so as to obviate the ne
cesesity of going into dry dock if an
accident should happen.

The Bear River Irrigation & Ogden
Waterworks company is in the courts
again. This time the company sas
brought suit against the city of Ogden
for $4,000 worth of water furnished
and which, it is alleged, has not been
paid for.
The plaintiffs in this case demand
Judgment on four causes OF action.
They want judgment upon the first
cause for $11,173.32, and if the court
should hold that they are not entitled
to recover thereon, then for s27. 246.75
upon the third cause. They ask for
s., 531 upon the second cause of action,
and if it be held that the plaintiffs
cannot recover on this. then s23, 459 is
asked for on the fourth cause of ac-
ton. The total sued for is $50 705.75.
This suit was filed yesterday in the
United States court by Attorneys Zane
& Rogers and Bennett, Hardness,
Howat. Bradley & Richards. The title
of it is William Adamson and Stanley
L. Conklin, as receivers of the Bear
River Irrigation & Ogden City Water
works company VS.. Ogden City.
Water Company Complications.
The property owned by the irrigation
company, which is composed of ca
nal WIN ldIeTdlS running
river through Cache valley into Salt
Lake valley, and on to Ogden, has been
the subject of much litigation. There
is pending now in the United States
court an action against the receivers,
which has been complicated by several
intervenors. The work was begun in
1889, the city council of Ogden having
signed a contract with John r. Both
well, giving him franchises to supply
Ogden with water for domestic and
public uses. He sold his interest to the
Bear Lake G. River Waterworks & Ir-
rigation company in September of 1883,
and a conduit was built from near Win
slows, carrying water to a reservoir
near Ogden; water pipes and mains
were laid in the city, and the complaint
alleges that everything required in the
contract, with the exception of the con-
struction of an east branch of the ca
nal, which was waived, was complet-
ed. Then the company failed, having
defaulted interest of its bonds. The
property was sold under foreclosure to
Thomas ]. F'lannelly, Aug. 81, 1894. He
turned the property over to the Bear
River Irrigation & Ogden Waterworks
company, and on May -, 1885, William
Adamson and Stanley l.. Conklin were
appointed receivers of the company.
They claim to be the successors in in
terest in the contract made with the
city of Ogden by John r. Boutwell,.
AS such they bring suit against the
city for it's failure to pay for the use
of water.

LUMBER GOES UP.
Another Advance In Price Scheduled
For Tomorrow.


Minneapolis, Mimi, July 29.-The
Times will say tomorrow: Lumber
will advance another 50 cents straight
on Monday, this being the fifth
marked advance in price. 1t has been
many years since there was such a de-
mand as the present season has shown,
and even with the advancing prices.
the demand continues TO exceed the
supply. In the case of the elevator
builders, who are using 'cribbing in
great quantities, there seems to be an
end of things. and it appears that they
will soon have TO resort either to the
higher grade cribbing, which is almost
too expensive for the purpose, or take
to steele for elevator building.
There have been but few years when
so much avtivity has been shown in
the elevator business. This is partly
attributed to the growth of new towns
along the Great Northern in northern
Minnesota, and the Minneapolis < st.
Louis in the southern part, and partly
to the excellent wheat prospects this
season.
