An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP 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. It
is the one perfect strengthening laXa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispclling 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 FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

SHOWS HIS FAITH
Captain Keith of Chicago Makes Heavy Purchases of ReaI Estate.

Captain J. G. Keith Of Chicago, who for some time has had control of t1e famous whaleback steamer Chris torher Columbus, became sui ferer from asthma some time ago and was obliged to seek a climate where hfS breathing apparatus would work naturally While he was trying to solve the question of a proper location he came across the testi- moniaI to Arizona written two years ago by Whitelaw Reid and decided to come to Phoenix. The captain has been here a weelfor more, has become thoroughly infatuated with the climate and as an evidence of his faith in it's curative powers he has purchased four teen lots in Capitol addition and in the near, future will erect several houses.
 ''I have at last found a spot where l can breathe freely" said Captain Keith yesterday to a Republican reporter, 'tand I have shown my faith in it by investing quite heavily in residence property. I am convinced from a close examination of the valley that Phoe- nix has a magnificent future. and I am satisfied to buy lots here and wait for retprns. It is quite certain that 1 can Hof live comfortably in Chicago, and equally certain that my health here is very much improved. I do not know of region elsewhere where there is so much sunshine or such pure air. 1 am glad I came to the Salt River valley and am certain that l shall not regret investing here"
 Captain Keith leaves today for the mountains to investigate several cop per properties that have been brought to his attention. He will return to the city in a few days.

! Beside this satisfactory excess of as sets over liabilities, Reibling enjoyed a good credit.
 Yesterday afternoon one of the cred itOrS said that if Reibling could De found he would advance him enough money to straighten up his affairs CT
 he would himself pay all the other creditors and take charge of the busi- ness. But in the absence of Reibllng nothing could be done but resort to at tachment proceedings.
 The only theory upon which his dis appearance can be accounted for is that he became unnecessarily panic stricken because Of Q slight ruffie of his financial affairs. He was certainly not in pressing need of money. He had some time ago applied to a real estate man for loan. The real estate dealer mentioned the matter to q young man who had lately arrived in town and had $500 to loan. He went to see Reibling and offered him the money without security, making the only condition of the loan his em- plOyment in the store, with the object of ultimately acquiring a partnership. Reibling declined to entertain tho proposition.
 He left two notes behind. neither of which sets cut the cause of his going. One was addressed to his brOther-in- law, c. F. c. Root, who lately arrived here from Massachusetts, accompanied by his father, J. B. Root In that note Reibling says I'm busted and you will have to look after my family" The other nOle was addressed to w. A. RumneyI who owed him a small sum on account. He directed him to pay it .o Mrs. Reibling and not to the store. Reibling's business friends hope that he will take S more cheerful view of his affairs before he gets away very far and that he will return and take hold 3gain.

IN HIS TRUE COLORs.


Many OF the people Of Utah VIII
doubtless remember the name Of j.
Wesley Hill, whose owner figured In
ogden and elsewhere as an anti-"Mor-
mon" Methodist preacher whose
righteous soul was terribly stirred up
on the polygamy question. His true
character however, was not covered up
by that veil Of deception, which Is fire.
quently the mask used by religious
hypocrltes, and he was subsequently,
known, even 20 his own fraternity for
what he was.
Since leaving Utah he has been heard
Of repeatedly without much 10 his
credit, and now We find the following
concerning him in the columns of the
Southern star published at Chattan-
ooga, Tennessee. which clipped It from
a Decatur, Illinois, paper;
Butler has sensation which has
stirred up the wrath OF its people, and
Rev j. W. Hill. a Methodist clergy
man, Is in a peck Of trouble as the
cause Of the agitation.
He has been pastor OF the Nj. \.
churches at this place and Montgomery
during the past year and at the recent
conference was assigned 10 Argenta
near Decatur. With his family and
effects he removes today to the new
charge.
"The ladies' Of his congregation de-
clded to give a farewell supper in the
church last Friday night for his benefit
Accordingly they solicited a large sup
ply Of edibles from various members, to
provide for the feast.
Rev. Hill and a member Of his flock
Miss Gertrude Hagsett, did the collect

other happened to take them into an
unfrequented place when. II Is said,
Rev Hill took liberties with his COM

OF the insult
Mrs, Hagsett at once phoned 10 DR..
Meyer, Of HillsborO. her brother who

s Hoes. a prominent merchant, inter-
viewed the preacher and brought him
before Miss Hagsett. where he did not
deny his wrongdoing The people Of
this place were SO indignant that Mon
day night he was hung in efflgy and
there was strong talk Of more sum

One way OF making a living is 10 be
a "snitch.' The following story is told
Of a damage suit trial. The lawyer ex.
aiming one Of the witnesses said;
What is your business I'm con-
nected with the legal department Of
Smith & smith," replied the witness,
with an air Of importance. "Oh," said
the lawyer briskly you're one Of these
chasers who run after a man who is
hurt and offer the services Of a lawyer
to bring suit for damages? Is that
your business?' mo. I'm no sntch"
whats that2' IL say I'm no snltch"
what Is a snltch?' "a snitch is a
fellow that watches for people to get
hurt and gets TO them as soon as he can
and makes a contract TO sue the COM
pany for damages" This makes II
perfectly clear what a 'snltch" is, but
unfortunately the witness did not give
the derivation OF that new addition TO
American vocabulary.

LET US ALL BE THANKFUL

The people Of Utah have great cause
for thanksgiving. Abundant crops, a
fine yield OF precious metals, the OPEN
ing and prospective utilization OF the
great iron and coal deposits Of South
ern Utah, the rise in value Of 1ocks aud
herds, and the gradual increase Of IN
dustrial pursuits and business enter
prises, thus furnishing employment Of
labor and stimulating commercial pur-
suits, are among the material evidences
OF prosperity which give cause for
thankfulness.
The educational and religious inter-
ests Of the State are also indicative Of
many Improvements Of a higher nature.
The Latter-day Saints have advanced
In the observance Of duties that should
be performed by faithful members OF
the Church. and In the enjoyment of
the gifts OF the divine Spirit The
Missionaries laboring for the cause Of
Zion have had their way opened, by the
very means intended to close It up. and
the agitation against the Church has
been overruled to advance It's influence
nightly.
The prospects Of the Saints are thus
Of a most encouraging character OBJ
served from any point Of View They
with their fellow citizens, therefore,
have great reason TO be thankful
The Deseret News participates In the
general causes FOR rejoicing. Its prog
ress during the year has been astonlsh-
ing. 1t has been grandy supported By
the reading and advertising public, and
the future opening up before It is full
OF magnificent promise.
Let US unite, then In gratitude to
the Glver Of all good, and praise His
holy name, while we acknowledge His
bountful hand in all things
