TIE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCEL LENCE 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 nell
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
the Company

Afraid of the Snake.

A fellow walked into Hotel Imperial
Friday evening carrying rattle snake
with him to sell the snake to w. w.
Wiley, one of the propretors of Hotel
Imperial. Comrade Albert Reynolds,

on Mr.. Wiley. "Hutch" Burns was in
the hotel office, and he picked up the
snake, which had a string around its
body, and he chased every person out
of the office, including both the pro-
prietors. Prof. G. w. Lenkerd got the
snake, chloroformed it and will add IL

Katie, nine-year-old daughter OF

from serious injury Saturday evening

gentleman driving the horse did not
see the little girl until the horse had
knocked her down, but he stopped the
animal before it stepped on her. The
girl escaped without injury and the BIZ

Supposed to be Incendiarism.

Between two and three o'clock last
Wednesday morning Blacks portable
saw mill, which was located on the AL
leu Bnrtop timber lot, near Aliens
Mills, and 200,00 feet Of lumber, were
totally destroyed by fire. The fire was
not discovered until the roof was all
ablaze and board pile near by was on
fire. There was nothing saved out Of
the mill and it was by hard work that
several large board piles were saved.
The origin Of the fire is unknown, but it
is supposed by some that the mill was
set afire. The loss amounts to about
5000, with no insurance. The lumber
belonged to Allen Burtop.

REORGANIZATION" DISCUSSED
Fremont Club Talks About the Re.
publican Party.

The subject of reorganization of the
Republican paprty was discussed at the
meeting of the Fremont Club, last night,
in a desultory manner, after he regular
transaction of business. Ex-President
Charles Siebert said he didn't think the
party needed reorganization just now.
Albert Gregory, a well known McEwan-
lite, declared that all the Republican lead
ers, from the county to the wards,
should be removed. He attributed much
of the recent great defeats of the party
to the incompetency and double dealing
on the part of the leaders.
E~x-Freeholder William j. Stuhr, a Re-
publican leader of the Twelfth ward. de-
clared his belief that the leaders are not
at fault, but that the trouble rests with
certain members of the rank and file OF
the party. He said they are a lot OF
chronic kickers, and added that this is
not the time to make the change, and II
done at all should be done at the pri-
maries.
The subject of appointing a committee
of three to urge that the selection OF
enumerators for the next United States
census for that section of the city be
made by the club was broached, but was
regarded as being somewhat previous and
no action was taken in the matter.
