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 fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipa ton 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 senna and
other aromatic plants, by 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.

for acquittal on evidence presented by
the commonwealth was overruled. and
Mr.. O'Neal made the opening statement
for the defense. He said that he was
convinced his client was innocent; that
he did not even know Caleb Powers,

link connecting him with the conspira.
tors or with any part of the conspiracy.

wringing his hands. He asked what
was the matter and Taylor said:
''Oh, my God, Ripley, these are terri
BILE times! Goebel will be killed. will
be killed and there will be riot herev'
Ripley told him he thought these
things could be averted. and inquired
when he should get his company ready.
To this Taylor said:
"My God! Haven't you got them
ready?"
"This was all there was to this" said
Mr.. O'Neal, "and no such construction
could rightfully be put on it as has been
done in this trial. "

Pekin, April 3.-RegIrding the destrue-

dered useless, while the north fort at the
entrance of the River Taku must be de
stroyed entirely on account Of the TACT that
ever since it was built it has caused lower

course of the stream. The merchants have
frequently complained to the eousuls. but
no government mas liked to ask China to
destroy a fort at the entrance to an i'm

be done as a matter Of military necessity,
and viii give foreign merchants intense
satisfaction, a, in consequence of its be
ing done, the river will in a short time
again be nayigable as far as Tientsin.
