REBELLION MAY SHAKE CUBA.
Early lnsurreetion On the island is
Predicted,

Lexington, Ky, Dec. 24.-"You will
see insurrection on the island of Cuba
before a year has passed." said DR.
T. o. Young. who returned last night
from a visit TO his brother, Lieutenant
Lucien Young, who has recently been
relieved as captain of the Havana port,
but has not yet resigned
DR.. Young says that the thinking
class of Cubans desire annexation and
that If the question was submitted to
vote it would carry. AS matters
stand, he predicts that the Cubans
will prove incapable OF self-govern-
ment and that their unrestrained
prejudices and the ignorance and dis.
content of a certain class will soon
result in uprisings. He says a mum.
Der of officers to whom he talked
shared this view-that annexation was
the hope of the island.

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. 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 constipatio per-
manently. It's 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 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
printed on the front of every package.
