lola, Kan. April 27.-Brigadier Gen
eral Funston, writing to a fellow towns
man, under late of Feb. 26, month
before the capture of Aguinaldo, says
he did not expect appointment III the
regular army. He says:
Under tea operation Of the law
must be mustered OUT of the service
July Z, as that is the last day of the vol
unteer army. and from that time all of
the work will be turned over 70 the reg
ulars. l was not disappointed that
was not given anything III the regular
army, as | had no expectations. One
so young as myself. vino had never been
connected with the regular army, could
scarcely expocy a brigadier generalship
in that body over many gallant men
who have been IN the service, some of
them, for years. I am heartily glad the
increase i'll the regular army has al
lowed adequate recognition, after many
years of waiting, to some of the splen
did officers who have been made briga-
dier generals i'll the regular establish
ment during the past few weeks.
My plans after nay muster out are
somewhat uncertain, though [ have in
view many good opportunities to do well
by myself"

ALGIERs, April ~. According to an
official telegram from Marguerite, order
has been restored there. Seven white
civilians and three natives were killed
during the disturbance. Three officers
and several gendarmes were wounded.
The trouble appears to have been largely
the outcome of monopolists buying up
the forests, depriving the natives of
their earning livelihood by making
charcoal and selling wood for fuel.

OHIO RIVER is STATIONARY
ASSravating Condition of Flood at
Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, April 27.-With tenac-
lty that is well described as aggravat-
ing, this food of the Ohio river main
tains an even stage. At 9 p. m. yester-
day the register was SO feet. The same
monotonous record was made hour after
hour until a. m. today, when no sign
of abatement was visible.
This of course delays the resumption
of business, but as the weather every =
where above is reported clear and warm,
1t is certain that relief must soon come
in falling river. Not much can be
done in the way of cleaning up in the
submerged district before Monday.

Diplomatic Intercourse Between Sis
ter Republics Resumed.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Mexican
government has taken steps to resume
diplomatic communication with South
American countries, the first move in
that direction being the appointment of
q Mexican minister to the Argentine Re-
public. For many years there has been
no diplomatic intercourse between Mex
leo and her sister republics on the south
ern continent, as there was little COM
merce between them and few political
questions requiring diplomatic repre-
sentation. Recently, however, Argen-
tina made friendly move by accredit-
ing a minister both to Washington and
the City of Mexico, and Uruguy has
taken similar action.
The selection of City of Mexico as a
place for holding the congress of Amer
ican republics has had further infiu.
ence III inducing Mexico to extend her
relations with southern countries. AS
a result of this sentiment, a minister to
Argentina is now named and one to
Uruguay will be appointed promptly be-
fore long. 1t is expected that this will
develop speedily into an extension Of
diplomatic relations between Mexico
and all of the South American countries.

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

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 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.

are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal quaEties of the
remedy are obtained from @senna and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

which is being built by the con- structlon company, is completed. Then numerous sub-contracts will be let, covering the entire ad- ditional so miles.
 The route out of Harrison east is by no means difficult one to begin with. No extraordinary difficulty is experienced for about two miles where very heavy cut will have to be made-deeper than any on the road between Harrison and Eureka Springs. The town of Bellefonte is directly on the line of the survey and in consideration of her citizens se- curing certain right-of-way, a depot conveniently located has been promised.
 The numerous sidings in the terminal yards in Harrison are full. In fact, the place presents very much the appearance of a railroad center. Four men are regularly employed about the depot and yards there and extra help is often made necessary. At Batavia, about nine miles this side of Harrison, a handsome depot has just been completed by the company, which is of ample size to accommodate the traffic of quite town. No effort at town building, however, has been at tempted. The depot was simply put in for the convenience of the country trade.
 The town of Harrison has ex- perienced some substantial growth upon the strength of the railroad and would have doubtless done much more but for the crop failure. There has perhaps been dozen substantial stone or brick business houses built the past summer, while numerous frame houses and dwellings, have been constructed.
 Harrison is a good town and is destined to make a much better one than it is today. The energy that secured the price of a rail- road for Harrison is bound to make it go.

Only PC to See Czolgosz Die.

Albany, N. Y., Oct. 15.-A re- quest will be sent to Secretary Hay to designate an official, rep resentative of the government, to be present at the death of Leon F.. Czolgosz (Sholgosh), the mur- derer of President Mckinley. Only twenty six witnesses will be present when the sentence is ex- ecuted. Warden Mead of Auburn prison has sent to the state sup erintendent of prisons the re- quests he has received for per- mission to attend the execution of the death sentence, more than LOGO in all. The law will limit the number of witnesses and the superintendent will decide who the witnesses shall be.
 It was stated today that the statements to the effect that Czol- gosz is in a continuous state of collapse and that he breaks down and weeps every time anything is said to him concerning the pen atty of his crime are false. Sup erintendent Collins had talk with the condemned man some days ago. At that time he said he knew he had to die. He ex- pressed no fear as to the execu- ton of the sentence, 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 pris- on, as we'll as a large number of express packages containing flowers and fruit. No letters, flowers or fruit have ever reached the condemned man. The flow CTS and fruit, it is learned, have been sent by Christian societies, as have number of letters con- soling 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 execution of justice in his case.

 With Savior as friend,
 He will keep me to the end. sang the poor washerwoman of the Kansas poet. That epito- mixes the whole story. It de- scribes the pervassive force which perpetuates hopes in the world, which makes men and women courageous and patient in the midst of trials, and which forti- fies the soul when it is called to walk through the valley of the shadow. No sophistry, no pro- process of skeptical analysis can render less precious to the world the blessed influence which de- scends with equal power upon the kings and rulers of the earth and those who perform it's hum- blest office.
