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. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and levers 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.
 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 senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP Co. only.

He then read one OF the documents said

May BE Accomplished Before Ad-
joErnment This Evening.

The House Of Representatives made lit
tie progress with the River and Harbor
Appropriation bill today. Consideration
Of the measure was resumed at page So. at
which point discussion was interrupted By
adjournment yesterday Because Of
amendments and discussion upon them one
hour and fifteen minutes passed before the
| reading clerk reached page so. The bill
comprises 81 pages. Before the House

this belief was soon dispelled. It is
thought that vote may be reached before

the Improvement Of the Tennessee River at
Chattanooga, but the amendment was lost
on division.
Mr.. King Of Utah congratulated the gen
tlemau from Tennessee on mis- temerity in
yenturing to offer an amendment to the
bill 1t is clear that this committee
representing eleven States, has power
enough in this House TO prevent the adop-
ton Of a single amendment" Mr. King
ridiculed the committee for its remarka-
bic ability in framing measure so nearly
perfect that no flaw could be found IN il
and no Improvement suggested.
Mir Gibson offered an amendmsnt TO in

Yes, sir" was the unhesftating reply.
1T is understood that every fourth class

Mr.. briggs rose slowly and shakIl, his

THE ROSSCHIETER CASE.
Rapid Progress Made in the Pnter-
son Murder Trial

PATERSON, \. J.. Jan I5.-It was sup
posed that when the Bosschieter murder
ease went to trial the defence would con-
test every step Of the way, but the tao
tics OF the counsel for Walter c. Meals
ter. Andrew J. Campbell. and William a
Death, who stand accused with George
Kerr Of causing the girls death. have
puzzled everyone Interested in the case.
IN the first day OF the trial the prosegu-
jion had the plainest kind Of sailing, and
although Prosecutor Emley is 10 orator,
as was shown by his opening address. he
proceeded 10 bring out his evidence in a
logical and impressive manner with hut
the most perfunctory interference by The
defence. But little effort was made to
shake the testimony of anyone except that
of Cabman Sculthorpe.
The cross denomination Of this import
ant witness gave, however. a hint as TO
why the defence had not been aggressive,
and as TO what line would be adopted, and
when court adjourned last night and be
fore il convened this morning IL was as
serted that the stubborn and prolonged
battle Of the trial would come when the
State attempts 10 prove the cause Of
death.
The first witness today was DR.. Cyrus
". Townsend. TO whom the panic-stTick-
en- men carried the girls body He told
Of being awakened at O'Clock in the
morning by Walter McAlister, who asked
him 10 come into the street, where he
found the cab, Kerr, and Campbell, the
cabman and girl. The physician Jesti-
fed that he examined the girl and found
that she had been dead about an hour
Was there any wound On the back of
her head2' asked Mr.. EUIey. mindful of
the fact that the body was found with
the head lying on a jagged rock, which
had inflicted an injury
There was no mark or wound, the
witness replied.
The defence refused 10 cross examine,
and Dr. Townsend gave way to De -eetive
Sergeant McEnerney. who drove over he
route OF the fatal ride with Sculthorpe,
three days after the body was found.

LONDON. Jan 15.-There is no better

be sent northward to turn the Beers aside,
or cause them to retreat by INJECTING
heavy losses.

Boyer crossed the railway at Kaalfontein
on Saturday, moving in an easterly direc-
ton. Il is not stated how strong an army
he had. or whether the crossing was eff
fected after fight with the British
General Kitchener confirms the state
ment that the Cape Colony situation has
not improved

the Rand mine owners have been official
" notified that they must furnish guards
to the number of fifteen hundred, who
must Join the Rand Rifles 1t is stated
that each company must pay its own men
at the rate Of . shillings a day, and also
furnish them with ratiOns-
This is believed to indicate that the
Beers are becoming more active in the
TransvaaI, and that the mines are likely
10 be attacked if a sufficient force Of
guards is not OF hand to care for them.
1t is stated in the Cape Town despatch
that the adoption of this plan BY General
Kitchener should not be regarded in the
light of an invitation 10 commercial or
other circles TO formulate town guard
