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 it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative. G.
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 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
printed on the front of every package.

WHY Wood Crack1es.

Wood crackles when it is ignited be-
cause the air expanded by heat forces
it's way through the pores of the wood
with a cracking noise. Green wood
makes less swapping than dry because
the pores contain less air, being filed
with sap and moisture, which extin-
guish the flame, whereas the pores Of
dry wood are filled with air, which
supports combustion.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE.

The situation of affairs in the Sa-
moan islands becomes daily more criti-
cal. The latest advices state that n
combined force of Americans and
British were ambushed by Mataafa
rebels on April l, near Apia, the ST.
moan capital, and defeated. Four
Americans and three E.'giishmen
were killed and Il few wounded.
The ambuscade occurred on Il Ger
man pl, ntation, the manager OF
which, was seen urging the enemy to
fight.
The Samoans say that Mataafa, the
rebel leader was willing TO surrender
but was advised not to do so by Herr
Rose, the German consul.
Further trouble of an extremely
critical nature. is feared on the is
lands.
The situation is looked upon in
Washington as being very serious.
Representative, j. A. Hull, of Iowa,
is quoted as saying, IF Germany per
sists in her present course there may
be war"
The excitement in Berlin and Lon.
don is intense. The bodies of the
slain were beheaded and otherwise
mutilated.

troduced Mr.. John NJ. Carter, Mayor
Malster, ex Mayor F G. Latrobe and
others who addressed the Assembly.

CLEAN POLITICS.

The political situation i'll Baltincr"
is every day growing more favorti'tt'
for thu Democrats. Things are TAX
ing decidedly strong turn a&ai"-i
Mayor Malster and his follow Is.
There is one thing thai both parties
are open to congratulation for, and
that ia there has been absolutely no
mud singing. The campaign has
been conducted on a high moral basis
and no personal matters have been
injected. This is as it should be. In
the paststhe tendency has been too
much towards vilifyinga man because
he was candidate for public office.
Such things are not only outrageous,
but should be made criminal. Be-
cause any self respecting man should
allow his name to be used as stand
ard bearer for his party, it seems
almost barbarous that cheap yellow
journalism should be allowed to
smirch his good character.
We have strong example OF one
case at present. Because one OF the
editors of certain newspaper took a
dislike to a man for some personal
reasons, it was determined that he
should be politically annihilated. This
paper succeeded, aided by many other
surrounding circumstances, in accom-
plishing his retirement for the present,
but how do they feel after the venom
has been exhausted. Has not the
fact dawned on them that they have
sold their birthright for mess of
pottage, or to put it in other words,
have they not sacrificed for personal
feeling a man of whom the State
should be proud. AS this campaign
in Baltimore is being conducted, so we
hope all future ones will be carried on.
The day of mud singing is past and
a newspaper who will persist in it
should be summed as leper.

CONCLUSION OF THE TREATY OF
PE4CE.

The war between the United States
and Spain although practically over
for several months now, virtually came
to diplomatic close on Tuesday,
April II, when the last formalities of
the restoration of peace were per-
formed by the exchange of the ratifi-
cations of the peace treaty.
About three O'Clock on Tuesday
afternoon, Monsieur Cambon arrived
at the White House with the Spanish
copy of the treaty. After a brief ex-
change of well wishes, the exchange
was made and in the presence of the
Cabinet and number of distinguish
ed personages the President of the
United States was able to declare in
the memorable words of the hero of
New Orleans, I'VE are now at peace
with all the world and the rest of
mankind,
