Hotel Greenwood Sold.

In accordance with notice by adver-
tisement in THE COMET, the Green
wood Hotel was sold to the highest bid
der last Saturday. The property, but
for the litigation with which it has been
barnacled for a number of years, would
be a most valuable investment.
No very great interest was manifest
ed, as it was not known if the sale will
be confirmed. The hotel was bid in by
j. W. Crumley, $4,000 being the
price paid.
Grip sufferers should take Miles Nervine.

Mr.. James G. Range, aged about n
years, and a popular and well-to-do
citizen, died at his home near this city,
Tuesday afternoon at O'clock and
was laid to rest Wednesday in Oak
Grove cemetery beside. his daughter,
Mrs. E. A. Long, whose death preceded
his just one week, Mr.. Range has been
troubled for sometime with kidney af-
lection but it was not thought to be
serious. On Sunday, while the other
members of the family were absent
from, home, Mr.. Range had fall while
crossing the yard from which he did
not rally for perhaps several hours.

townsman, L. T. Duke, died at her
home on East Market street, Thursday
night, and her remains were inferred at
Oak GROVE cemetery, Saturday.
Mrs. Duke had been sick only few
days of grippe, and her death Is a most
unexpected blow to her family and
friends, many of the latter being igno-
rant that Mrs. Duke was not enjoying
the best of health.
The remains were followed to their
last resting place by large concourse
of sorrowing friends, who felt keenly
the loss of this most estimable Christian
lady.

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. 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 FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

The Commercial Leagne.

The recent organization of the Commercial League means much to Pine Bluff and her citizens.
 To this organization every citizen should lend a hand and give his aid and hearty support, for on its mem bers depends whether or not the undertakings of the association will be successful.
 In organizing, the members have shown rare judgment in the selec. tion of officers, who are capable n every way of performing the duties which they assume
 Messrs. Fred Fox and E. D. Rus. sell, president and secretary respee- lively, are two of the most enter prising and successful business men of our city and they will doubtless bring credit to themselves and to the League by the faithful perform ance of their duties.
 We think it very timely to men tion the fact that a number of prop erty owners of this city, who ace not members of the Commercial League and did not subscribe any. thing toward the support of that or. organization, should at once offer their assistance in making this as. sociation continued success.
 If enterprises and capital are brought here who is benefited there by more than the property owner2
 The merchants today are the heaviest taxed citizens in our com munity, and every enterprise, it matters not of what character, whether it is for individual or pubic benefit, the merchant is the most liberal contributor thereto.
 In the course Of theexistence of a Commercial League in our city Q great deal of expense is necessarily incurred and we earnestly trust that the property owners, as we'll as all classes ot citizens, Swill give it their liberal encouragement

COL. C. R. GREENLEAF
TALKS OF THE WAR

A good-sized audience filled the First
Presbyterian Church last night to hear
colonel Charles R. Greenleaf, medical in
spector of the United States army, speak
of his experiences in Cuba and Porto
Rico. Colonel Greenleaf, who is here to
take charge of the sanitary affairs of the
troops returning from Manila. was the
medical inspector of the Eastern camps,
where the soldiers were quartered after
having served in the tropics. He had
under his direct supervision at Savannah
l3,000 and at Harrisburg 5000 returned
soldiers
The colonel said that during the war
one thought had often occurred to him,
and that was that the people at home had
little conception of the suffering and
misery that was incident to war. He con-
tinued: 1.-The first six months or year of
war are very productive of sicnness 1t
takes about that time to teach a soldier
how to keep his person and surroundings
Clean The prime duty of the medical
staff is to gauge the percentage of sick
ness among the soldiers for the first half
year We count on about Is per cent Of
sick men to per cent of those injured in
battle. The Red Cross societies Of Europe
are organized under more favorable con-
ditions than ours: They have the advan-
distribution: The necessity of these two
things in this work is one Of the lessons Of
the war"
The speaker described the condition of
the troops when he reached Siboney in a
very graphic manner. He said: 'It was
impossible to keep the men from exposing
themselves. They seemed entirely de-
void of caution and could not be kept
from the infected houses One incident
touched me deeply" said he. "The hos
pital at Siboney was crowded Every
nurse and attendant had come down with
the ,contagion. AT my request a captain
OF the Twenty-fourth (colored) called for
volunteers from his company to act as
nurses The company stepped forward as
one man"
After describing some interesting incl
dents of the Porto Rican campaign The
colonel told of the scenes and conditions
in Cuba. He said that Senator Proctor s
letter before the war does not begin to
express the suffering. He saw more suf-
ffering, more dreadful misery in that
island than in all the rest of his lifetime
put together.
The San Francisco call., 1899-06-26
HELPED US TO EMPIRE
IN THE PHILIPPINES

When the Pacific Mail steamship City of
Rio de Janerio docked last evening she
landed three distinguished passengers
who have had considerable to do with the
making of history since last their feet
touched the soil of California.
They are Captain N NJ. Dyer, who COM
manded the Baltimore at that famous bat
tie of Manila Bay; Captain NJ. A. Walker,
who commanded the Concord, and ]. G.
Wise, medical director of Admiral
Deweys fleet The three officers are on
their way home after having completed
their terms of service on the Asiatic sta
ton. They will remain in the city but
a few days, when they will proceed to
report to the Navy Department for duty.
1t is not likely, however, that they will be
detailed for active service for some
months to come, as the department Will,
no doubt, give them chance In which
to recuperate and see something of their
families before again calling upon them
for their services.
When seen last evening at the Occi
dental they were disinclined to talk. Too
modest to speak of their own exploits and
with the example of the jovial Coughlin
still fresh in their minds-too polite to
criticize affairs in the Philippines. they
confined themselves to expressions Of
satisfaction at once more getting home
and inquiries after news of the world
they have been so long shut off from.
When questioned concerning the cap
ture of Iloio and the protest of Captain
Wilde of the cruiser Boston against Cen
eral Miller receiving his promotion as a
reward for taking the place, they had lit
tie to say beyond a statement indOrsine
Wide's action and claiming for the navy
the credit of the capture and occupation
of the city.
Captain Walker left Manila and went as
far as Hongkong with Dewey on the
Olympia. He reports the admiral in good
health, though considerably run down and
exhausted from his long strain Of anxiety
and responsibility.
Captain James NJ Forsyth relieved
Captain Dyer in command of the Balti-
more and Captain Walker was relieved of
his command of the Concord by Com
mander Seth NJ. Ackerley.

AUTOMOBILE CRAZE
REACHES THE CITY

In the line of accidents IT was extreme
ly quiet at the park yesterday, but the
police and hospital physicians are antici-
pating a brisk time in the near future.
The automobile, or horseless carriage,
craze has assumed such proportions in
the East that many of the wealthy of
this city have determined to get in line.
In fact, there are a few of these four
wheeled machines in the city at the pres
ent time, but owing to their horsefright
ening propensities they have up to date
been excluded from the park San Fran
cisco must be up to date, however, the
wealthy say, and the equine animals of
this commonwealth might as well prepare
for the worst.
In consequence 1t is said that in a short
time the Park Commissioners will be
called upon to revoke their order eXclud-
ing machines from the park calculated to
stampede horses, and allow the automo-
bileS free access. It is during tht process
of initiating the horses and consoling
them upon their ultimate consignment to
the canning factory that the police and
surgeons anticipate busy time, but they
are ready for all emergencies.
Merrill Owens, an insurance clerk, who
resides at 1880 O'Farrell street, was ar
rested by the bicycle path policeman for
fast cycling When taken he was going
al a great speed and submitted to arrest
to the station, however, he met a crowd
of his friends, and the policeman says
that all hands jumped him and endeav-
ored to release the young man. When
Captain Thompson heard this he ordered
the prisoner locked up for the offense, in
stead of warning and then releasing him,
as is done when people violate the cycling
law for the first time.
The usual crowd assembled at the
Chutes yesterday and enjoyed the various
features as did the guests at Sutro
Baths. The results of the aquatic con-
tests at the baths are as follows: Fifty
yard dash, -novice-H. Seebach first, ].
