MORGANTOWN NOTES.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
MORGANTOWN, w. Va, July TO-
The local bar began a vacation Of one
month during which they will not do
any work whatever in their offices.
They have closed up and many of them
have left town. 1t is an unique custom
that they have been following for sew
eral years. Judge Hagans and several
Of the most prominent members of the
bar have gone to Webster Springs to
spend a few weeks.
Prof. R. b. Reynolds has gone on a
trip that will last for several weeks,
during which he will visit Cornell and
a number of the other leading Univers-
titles and colleges of the east.
Senator Camden has written a very
gratifying letter about the celebrating
of Chadwick Day and has sent a check
for one hundred dollars. The money
part of the affair is being raised easily.
The suggestion that has been made by
Governor Atkinson in the Register rela-
tive to the including Of Rowan in the
celebration cannot be carried out. This
matter had been taken up by the local
committee when the affair was hrsC
proposed, and it was hoped that some~
thing of the kind might be done, but
this will be impossible. Rowan is now
on his way with his regiment, the
Nineteenth, to Manila, and he could
not be gotten here to participate. When
he returns to the United States 1t Will
be in order to receive him with marks
of distinguished consideration, and we
will then be ready to join in the cele-
bration at any point of the State. But
how he can have a part of Chadwick
day cannot be seen at present.
Mr.. Davis Anderson died at his home
here last night after a long illness. He
was about seventy-five years of age.
He has long been one Of the most
prominent Of our citizens n leaves a
large number of friends in this section.
-Four sons, John B., James E., William
c.. and Robert, together with three
daughters, Mrs. James Parftt, Mrs.
George Lyle and Mrs. Eliza Jacobs,
survive him. All of the children have
arrived to be present at the funeral,
which will take place on Tuesday IN
Oak Grove cemetery.

REVOLUTION THREATENED.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-Several
leading citizens of Guatemala just ar
rived on the steamer San Juan, con-
firm the reports that a revolution is
threatened in that country. A promi-
nent planter now here said: "The in
fated currency combined with the sur
plus production of coffee explains the
conditions. OF late years every bit of
available land has been used for the
growth of coffee, with the result that
there is over-production."

A Woman Physician Scared TO Deatn by q
Burglar Alarm in Her Own House.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-Death
called DR.. Mary c. Edmunds, a we'll
known physician of this city, in tragic
fashion at her home, 913 Bush street.
The accidental setting off of a burglar
alarm wrought up her nerves to such
a strain that she suffered death by
fright. She went to a window and
blew a whistle. Help come, but just as
she opened the front door she tottered
and fell dead.
Mrs. Edmonds was a very talented
and successful physician of this city.
She was the widow of Judge Edmonds,
late of the Superior Court, and leaves
two sons and a daughter. The latter,
Miss Annie Edmonds, is a teacher in
Berkeley, and one of her sons. Frank
w. Edmonds, who has been connected
with the United States Geodetic Survey
for years, is now in Alaska. Her other
son, DIR. Harry Edmonds, is a physician,
practicing in Fresno county.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FrGs, 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 effectual.y,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling 4
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and it's 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
remember the full name of the Company
