A Strike Epidemic.

Strikes are serious things, and in view
of the number that have occurred it is
well to remember that until the cause be
removed, dissatisfaction will depreciate
work and prove a menace TO society. But
it is not only the commercial life which
has its strike. The whole country IS
grooming under the strike of the stomach,
and many people make the mistake Of
trying to suppress the symptoms instead
of removing the cause. There is but one
sure way of curing the Ills which arise
from rebellious stomach, and that is by
an honest use of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Use it for Indigestion, consti-
patton, dyspepsia, biliousness, liver o.
kidney trouble. and see that private
revenue stamp covers the neck of the bot
tie.

IN winter. when the wind hear

For lis the wind who sweeps the sky
And piles The snow in ridges high.
In spring. when stirs the wind, | know
That soon the crocuS buds will show;
For Ills the wind who bids them wake
And into pretty blossoms break.
In summer, when it softly blows.
Soon red | know will be the rose.
For It's the wind to her who speaks
And brings the bushes to her cheeks.
In autumn, when the wind is up,

For It's the wind who take is out.
And plants an oak somewhere about.

THEORY OF CAR RENDERS.
Law of GravitatiOn Throws a Person
in the Attached Nets.

In response to strong public
sentiment, 1T is probable that an
ordinance will be introduced at the
next meeting of Council providing
for tenders on cars unless the street
railway sooner expresses its intention of
putting them on without legislation on the
subject. There seems TO he no doubt about
the advantages of tenders, notwithstand-
ing the arguments of the street railway
people against them.
If tenders are adopted the street railway
will be put to less expense than in most
other cities as the local line will get OFF
with attaching them except to the head
end of cars. The cars on which these de-
vices are needed mostly are on the belts,
where their continuous run, would make
it necessary TO supply tenders but for one
end. Should Council find it necessary to
introduce the ordinance, which was mem
toned in an interview with Alderman Dix
on the other day, it is likely it would apply
only TO cars running on the belts, or that
pass through the thickly Ucpulated Sec
lions or over narrow streets. 1t is stated
Council will use discrerion by requiring
safety appliances only where they are pub
lie necessities.
Director Thomas takes the position that
the only sac way TO a void acc, tents Is TO
employ reli lole, efficient Il .1torf1cn. He
says this is best for the reason thar fend-
ders are apt 10 make employees less vigil
liant for distractions for the reason thew
would be relying on the tenders to save
people under all circumstances. There are
few who give much weight to the efforts of
officials TO throw the blame on motormen.
however. An evidence that motornen do
all in their power to avert accidents by
present facilities was shown in the quick
manner in which the car was recently
stopped when child was killed at Whita-
ker and Duffy streets.
The theory of the workings of q fender
as established by the law of gravitation
makes It almost impossible for a person
struck, while standing erect, to get caught
in the wheels. The device is simple. con
sisting of an iron frame carried a few feet
in front of the car and about four inches
above the rails, and which is interviewer
with net of strong rope. A person stand
ing in the track is first struck near the
ankles by this advance frame, the effect
of which is to knock their feet from I'M
der them, thereby letting the body fall In
an incline toward the approaching car. In
stead Of striking the ground however il
falls in the net, and is carried along until
the car is brought to a stop. A body
struck below the center of gravity, which
is invariably the case except when a per-
son is lying fiat on the ground, will fall
in the direction from which the blow came
1t will be a matter of interest to watch
the result of the public demand for fend-
ers. If the City Council acts, it is stated
it will not, of course, undertake to desig-
nate any particular fender, further than
that it shah be good and sufficient.

HayIow and Genoa Offices Broken
Opcn-Burglars Arrested.
Valdosta, Ga, April 26.-Reports have
been received here Of the burglary of ex-
press offices at Haylow and Genoa, the
latter place being on the Georgia South
ern road in Florida. The first robbery oc-
Cured at Haylow, and the robbers were
evidently after valuables. They ransack-
ed the place and found nothing of value.
They then opened some jugs of liquor,
which were in the office, and helped them
selves TO that. A special train came along
and the robbers left, though 1t is under
stood that the engineer saw them leav-
ing the place and recognized them as ne
groes.
The next night the office and depot at
Genoa was broken open and the place
ransacked in search of money. There be-
ing no money in either place, the bur-
glars tackled a store in the town and stole
the iron safe, carrying II out in the
streets, where it was broken open. Seven
dollars was the amount of money they got
out of the safe. Two negroes were ar
rested, and 1t is said that there is suffi-
cient evidence to convict them of the
crime.

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. II
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 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
