An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIe 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 method known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Go. 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. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP co.

assurances that the President will come out
all right"
Eecretary Gage said that the cabinet

this class of people.
Speaking today of the Presidents condi-
ton, Attorney General Knox said: THE
case was progressing favorably and rapid
ly when left Buffalo last night. His tenn
perature has been going right down and
his condition throughout has steadily inn
proved. The President is in buoyant spir-
It's. He wants to know what is going on
and talks freely about coming back to
Washington and attending to business"
Mr.. Knox said that he has not decided
whether the federal authorities will take
any steps to attempt to reach the case of
Czolgosz but that he would go over the
laws that might have bearing on the
case. He said that there is plenty of time
for deliberation and that no haste is neces-
sary.
The Attorney General will fix day for a
hearing of the case Of Judge Noyes.

cerning his onense came to the Post Office
Department through the postmaster at
Homer. who inclosed affidavits from four
citizens OF the place confirming his report.
1t appears that when Cortright first re-
ceived the announcement of the news of
the attempt upon the Presidents life he
remarked with an oath that he was glad
of it, and added that the President should
have been killed years ago. Hearing of
this remark. three citizens Of the town
called upon Cortright and asked him il
the report was correct. and he replied that
1t was. Upon receiving this information
duly supported by the oaths of the citi-
zens who had heard this statement made.
Gen. Shallenberger took prompt steps to
cancel Cortrights contract upon the
ground that person capable of such SEN

Secretary to the President.

MILBURN HOUSE, Buffalo, N Y, Sep
tember 10.-As DIR. Roswell Park came to
his carriage after seeing the President to-
day he paused long enough to give a gen.
eral survey of the conditions prevailing
1.-THE condition of the President this
morning is entirely satisfactory" said he.
1.-The bulletin will state this. and it sums
up the situation. The President spent the
most comfortable night he has had since
the shooting. He slept well and when he
was awake he was CHEEKY and even chatty.
He is not receiving any nourishment thus
far except by enema. This is an alto
gether natural incident of the case at this
stage"
DO you regard the President as entirely
out of danger?" DR.. Park was asked
Il do not want to go that far. What can
be said is that unless there are unexpected
complications we expect him to recover
Have you considered the prospects Of
his removal?'
mo, it is too early for that now, hut
when he Is moved he probably will go to
Washington"
DR.. Park referred to the fact that the
bulletins were most conservative and gave
results such as the medical fraternity
would be expected to pass upon In the case
of any citizen
ut would be well to have 1t stated" he
added, that the President is not being de-
prived of the benefits of private citizenship.
He is being treated exactly as any other
citizen would be and is getting the benefit
Of it. We view the case just as that of
any other man who might be similarly
afflicted"
DR.. Parks latter statement will explain

applicable alike to all cases of surgery.

DR.. Herman Mynter was the next Of
the consulting physicians to come from the
house. He was followed by DIR. Eugene

together. To the queries Of the newspaper
men DR.. Mynter said:
"The President is doing splendidly, and
he is out of the woods, if may express it

has plenty of daylight behind him.
DR.. Mynter said further:

cause I do not like to prejudge serious
cases, but now I can say to you that every
thing in the Presidents condition warrants
the statement that he is on the road to
quick recovery"
DR.. Wasdin said:

President had a fair chance of recovery.
Now I desire to say that the chances
against that recovery are very slight. His
