An Excellent Combination.

i
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIes, 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 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.
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 FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial

A CLEVER BANK SWINDLE.
A Chicago Bank Said to Have Been
Done to the Extent of Thir-
~ Thousand Dollars,

Chicago, Aug. Alt has leaked out
here that one of the Chicago banks
was recently swindled out of $4,000
in cash in skillful manner. An eff
fort is being made to keep the matter
secret, and not even the name of the
bank is given. 1t seems that a de-
positor Of several years standing APP.
peared one day in the bank presi.
dents Office with draft on London
for 10000 which was perfectly good.
The depositor informed the president
he desired to deposit his London
draft, and at the same time to check
against it, presenting his check for
$4,000 for the president to o. X.
The latter put his initials on it and
thought nothing of it. 1t seems, how
ever, that the depositor went out in
to the bank and deposited his London
draft. and on the following day pre-
scented a check for 100000, which was
paid, the teller knowing that amount
was to his credit on the books. Later
in the day he again appeared at the
window and presented the check for
100000, which had been initiated by
the president. This check was also
paid. Nothing more has since been
seen of the depositor.

Two Men Dead and Two Partially
SufOcnted In the Tunnel of the
Minah Mine at wilkes, Mont.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 1.-two men
were killed and two others staggered
into the open air with almost their
last gasp as the result of peculiar
accident which occurred in the new
tunnel II the Minnh mine, at Wickes,
Mont. The four men had gone to the
end of the tunnel, distance of 1900
feet and were engaged in sinking a
shaft, which work had been in prog
res several days, They had been us.
ing small engine for hosting dirt.
The smoke from the engine had been
carried to tunnel above the one in
which the men were engaged, from
where it was dissipated by means Of
an air shaft, Monday night, after
the men had been working several
hours, the air shaft became stopped
up and the smoke was forced to re-
turn to the tunnel where it original.
ed When the men discovered their
danger they began retreat and had
reached point roo feet from the
opening Of the tunnel, where two of
them, Eli Gunvlle and Marion John
son, fell dead, The other two men es-
capped to the open air, but were al
most dead and were restored after

THE STRIKE SITUATION
Both Sides to the Steel Controversy
Claim to Have Reinforced
Their Lines.
THE OPERATORS HAVE The ADVANTAGE.
A RumOr Again Current, But as Yet
UncOnfirmed, That IA settlement ~
Under Way, Both sides Seeing
Disaster by Continuing the Pres
ent Strife.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 15.-Both sides
have made material gains in the great
strike being waged against the United
States Steel corporation by the
Amalgamated association. The re-
naming force at the plant of The
National tube works, at Mckeesport
Joined the strikers, and that great
plant is now practically silent. The
strikers also made some gains among
the men at the lower Union mill OF
the Carnegie Co., in Pittsburg, but
there is a direct conflict in the claims
made by either side as to the exact
condition Of that plant. The strikers
say that they will force it to close
down, while the managers insist that
they have not been hurt, and that
the plant will be kept moving.
summary OF the situation.
The situation can be generally sum
married. as follows.
In round numbers the last strike
order by President Shaffer has been
obeyed by 10000 men, and the total
number of men who struck or were
rendered idle by all three orders Is
now placed at $4,000 men. The man
ufacturers continue to hold their
ground at Chicago, Joliet, Bay View,
Youngstown, Columbus, the Kish-
mentas valley, and in all of the Car
negie plant except the lower Union
mill in Pittsburg. In the latter the
strikers have made some gains, but
the general result there is still in
doubt. The steel managers also
count the refusal of the furnace men
of the Mahoning and Shenango val
leys to strike as a victory. The steel
corporation also scored in reopening
two mills at the Painter plant, in
Pittsburg and in forcing the opening
Of the Crescent tin plant at Cleye-
land. The strikers scored heavily ut
McKeesport, when nearly 5000 men
and boys, employed by the National
Tube Co., Joined forces with the strik-
ers and tied the plant up. They claim
10 have further extended their or
ganization among the men of the Car
negie mills in this city, and say that
before the end Of the week they will
have the works stopped. They also
expect to completely close down
everything in the Wheeling district,
and assert that the last man will go
out after the massmeeting to be adj
dressed by President Shaffer. The
strikers are also completely in con-
troll at Bellaire and Mingo Junction.
Good order still rules.

WHOLESALE SMUGGLING.
Chinese Said TO lie Persistcntly
Struggled Across the border
From British Columbia.

San Francisco, Aug. 14.-Discov-
cries have just been made, says a
Santa Barbara (Cal) special TO the
Chronicle, which are believed TO es'
tablish concmsiyely that wholesale
smuggling Of Chinese from British
Columbia into the United States
through Santa Barbara has been car
ried on. The revenue officials were
notified several weeks ago, and for
three weeks the revenue cutter Me-
Culloch has been cruising in the wa
tcrs of Santa Barbara channel in
search of evidence. The smuggling
scheme il outlined MS follows
Lumber laden vessels leave Puget
sound for southern California points,
and, after getting well out to sea,
run over to Vancouver, b. G., and pick
up Chinese, which are ostensibly
shipped as part Of the crew. Some Of
these vessels put into Port Hartford,
San Pedro and other ports with crews
more than twice as large AK ncccs-
sary, When sailing for the north, the
crews consist almost exclusively Of
white sailors.

AS SEEN ABOVE WATER LINE.
4 New York Yachting Expert Sees n
Formidable Contestant In
Shamrock ii.

New York, Aug. 15.-John r. Spears,
the Worlds yachting expert, in his
comments upon the new Shamrock,
says among other things:
THE appearance of the new Sham.
rock as she rides the water at the
Erie basin is most disquieting. In
nothing that was written on the oth
err side was she adequately described,
and nearly every description of her
that was sent here was seriously mis-
leading. For, without any eX2cp-
ton, the model of the new Shamrock
above water is the most beautiful
and the cleanest and swiftest of any
that ever sought for or defended the
cup.
Let is be fully understood that
these adjectives are applied only TO
what can be seen about water, Her
lines under the water may be wrong
in various respects, though that is
scarcely possible"
In her proportion of bow to stern
Shamrock II. is perfect, according to
the best American ideas. Shamrock
II. is not a bull dog sent on grey
hounds errand like Shamrock !.
Judging from what can be seen OF
her above water, the most cheerful
optimist is full of apprehension"
