An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP or F1es, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Fro 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. IL
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system cifectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevcrs
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constitution per-
mancntly. 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 senna and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa 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.

GRAND RIVER RAGING.
-Endangcring Factories and Railway
Bridges mt Grand Rapids.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 26.-
Grand river tonight reached the high
water mark of 1SS3-twelve feet six inches
and is rising an inch an hour. The Rouge.
Flat and Thornapple, three big tributaries,
are pouring a flood into the Grand. All the
factories along the canals in this city have
been shut down and their easements are
flooded. The change to cooler weather may
check the rise during the night. If not.
great damage will result from the swollen
stream. The Pere Marquette Railroad
bridge is IN danger the water being nearly
level with the stringers. Hundreds of acres
of lowlands along the river and northeast
of the city are flooded. Crokery Hook, a
tributary of the Grand north of the city
is out of its banks and the big dam owned
by the r-Winchester Company, at
Slocums, behind which was stored a large
quantity of water, gave way and the ties,
roadbed and track were torn out for a con-
siderable distance. The water entered the
camp and did great damage along the
course Of the creek.
The Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad
men are watching Cedar river at Cedar
Springs very closely, The stream is very
high and is reported TO be rising. but the
bridge is still above the water. Near
Kinney, on the Grand Rapids * Indiana,
the water is even with the ties and some
uneasiness is felt about the situation there.
The Grand river at Iona, Mich, has risen
twenty inches since early morning and is
still rising. All railway bridges are care
fully watched. Portions of the city are
four feet under water. Three dams along
Maple river went out to-day and the dam
at Kiddersville also gave way, doing great
Carnage TO farmers.
NILES, Mich, March 26.-The st. Joseph
river is higher than it has been for sew
eral seasons. Two mills of the Niles Board
and Paper Company and French's pulp
mill have been obliged to close down, and
two hundred people are temporarily out
of employment. Viewers island is entire
ly inundated and the house on 1T is stand
ing in water. The lower South Bend road
just above the mills is overlooked to the
depth of several feet and IL is impossible.
Many cellars are full of water. If tho
river continues to rise the water will soon
reach the Big Four tracks near the sta
ton.
MIDLAND, Mich, March 26.-The great
est flood on the Ti~ttabawasee and Chippewa
Several bridges on the Chippewa and Pine
rivers have already been carried away and
il is feared the two large bridges in this
city will soon go. The whole of the fourth
ward is covered with water six to ten feet
Geep and residents are moving out or climb
ing TO the second stories. The river is ris-
ing at the rate of nearly two inches an
hour. with the prospect of continuing so
for several days.
