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 its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative.
 In the process of manufacturing figs arc 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 Flo SYRUP Co. only. In order to get it's 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.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April %


The past week was unseasonably
cold, the mean temperature ranging
from 5 to s degrees below normal.
Ice formed on several mornings, and
at several stations in the northern
section minimum temperatures were
report 10 to IL degrees below freezing.
The rainstorm on the 10th and 18th
was quite general, and in some To-
calities sufficiently heavy to retard
field work two or three days.
But despite adverse conditions fair
progress has been made in all dis
tricts. Spring wheat seeding is COM
pleted, and except in limited areas
where the soil is very wet the work
of sowing oats and barley is nearly
finished. In some localities seeding
has been done while the soil was too
wet for best results.
The cold weather has retarded GER
mination of seed and growth of grass,
out no material injury is reported.
Fruit buds are generally believed to
be healthy and promising.

The Ottumwa Courier of Monday
evening contains the following bit of
manufactured news:
A move was made at Oskaloosa
yesterday which somewhat changes
the complexion of the matter of
building the narrow guage road, the
Burlington and Western, into Des
Moines, or rather joining it to some
other line of the Burlington SO it will
go to Des Moines. Surveyors en-
ployed by the Burlington left Oska-
loosa yesterday, going north, and
lett report behind them that they
are to survey line to Des Moines
for the narrow guage.
This looks little different from
the other reports that have gone
out about the movements in this d.
rection For some time it has been
thought that the deal was about
closed by which the Burlington was
to buy the Rock Island track from
Oskaloosa TO Knoxville, widen the
Burlington & Western to the stand
ard guage, aud thus make a short
line from Des Moines to the east
over the Burlington.
1t seems hardly probable that the
Burlington will spend enough money
to build new road to Des Moines
from OskalooSa, when the company
already owns track from Knoxville to
the capital, and with the purchase of
the short piece of track from the
Rock Island could make a much
smaller amount achieve the same OBJ
1ect. However, as some knowing
ones say, the Rock Island sets too
high a alue on their little piece of
track, and the Burlington has de
cided to bluff the other company
into selling by starting the survey
from Oskaloosa to Des Moines.
The HERALD spent Tuesday in try
ing to run down some clue or some
reason for the appearance of the
above, but could find none. The
narrow guage people here know OF
no surveyors in this field except
those who have been looking up the
switch problem and costs OF same to
prospective new coal fields in this
county. So far as the Ro' k Island
selling their right of way and track
from here to Knoxville is concerned
is all bosh. They have no such in
tention and never had The day will
come when the Rock Island will
build from Knoxville directly west to
Missouri river, which will give it the
shortest line across Iowa, and
through section now unoccupied by
any east and west line.

DEVASTATION WIDESPREAD
FLOODS IN CHINA WORST IN
FIFTY YEARS..
Thousands OF People Drowned and
Famin Threatens the
Survivors.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE navy de-
partment has received a report from
the United States steamship Helena
regarding the devastation by flood of
the Yangtse valley above Marking.
China.
The water reached the highest in SO
years. The devastation was wide
spread, the flood wiping out old vii
lagos and sweeping away the lightly
constructed farm houses. The .ex-
tensive crops OF rice, corn and beans
have been too long covered with the
water to survive, scarcely any live
stock remains and famine stares the
people in the face.
The loss Of life was very great,
thousands being drowned in the re-
gion just below Loukiang and also On
the north side Of the river. Kiukang
and Wuhu being treaty ports informa-
ton was obtained from the Europeans
there but from many other Chinese
cities not open to foreign trade there
has been no estimate of the loss OF
life, nor to what extent the natives
are dependent en- charity. Shanghai
newspapers say that the distress IS
the worst that has occurred in half
q century.
Toadd to the suffering a storm, the
center of which passed near Kiukiang
on August 2, destroyed a great part
Of what remained of the farm houses
and the rudely constructed platforms
built above the water and, in the trees
/ by the people. Riots and robbery
! prevail as a result of suffering from
hunger.
The interests of the United States
in the region affected are centered il
| the missions and property belonging
| to United States subjects and is sit
uated mainly near the treaty ports
The number of missionaries is abou
500, men, women and children.

AND SEND HIM FRUIT AND
FLOWERS.
LETTERS NEVER REACH HIM
Only Twenty-six Will Witness
the Execution of the
Murderer.

Albany, N. Y. Oct. 14-Superinten-
request to Secretary Hay to designate
an official representation of the gov
ernment to be present at the elec-
trocution of Leon F. Czolgosz, the
murderer of President Mckinley.
Only 26 witnesses will be present
in the chamber of death when the
Of Auburn prison has sent to Super
intendent Collins the requests he has
received for permission to attend the
electrocution, over 1000 in all.
The law will limit the number Of
witnesses and the superintendent will
direct who the witnesses shall be. If
was stated at the state department
of prisons today that the statements
to the effect that Czolgosz is in a
continuous state of collapse and that
he breaks down and weeps every time
anything is said to him concerning
electrocution are false. Superinten-
dent Collins had a talk with the con-
demned man this morning and some
days ago, and at that time he said
he knew he had to die. He expressed
no fear as to electrocution but said
that he would not care to go outside
of the prison for he believed that the
people would kill him.
Since his confinement in Auburn
| prison several thousand letters have
been received for him at the prison
as well as large number of express
packages containing flowers and
fruits. Neither the letters, flowers
nor fruit have ever reached the con-
demned man. The flowers and fruit
it is learned have been sent by Chris
tian societies, as have number of
the letters, consoling him in his last
moments. Other letters have come
| from cranks who have written about
the species of torture to which they
would put him if they had the execu'
ton of justice in his case.
It is stated, however, that it would
be matter Of surprise if the names
of senders of fruit and flowers were
made public.
The state prison department has
pursued uniform policy in regard tc
Czolgosz. Every effort has been made
to prevent the murderer from gaining
any notoriety while awaiting deatf
and to surround him by as perfect iso
lation from the world as possible.
