made and at is the Electrus. For 30 years l tried everything there was. only to be tortured. I had been cheated and deceived, boiled, burned, bllstered, dis appointed, etc., etc., with so many so- called sure cures that as you we'll re- member I wrote you I would bite no more. But I was fascinated by the Electrus and it's description and finally concluded to purchase one.
 Ut was a comfort all the time, and in 90 days a complete cure. The least can say of 1t Is that 1t is a blessing and I gladly refer all ruptured people to this marvellous Electrus. I was rup- tured on the left side and also had vari- cocele and l consider my cure not only a remarkable accomplishment but the Electrus most complete and certain appliance for the cure of all ruptures.
 'I am satisfied all will have the same splendid experience that I met with and do not hesitate to urge them by all means to try it. Yours ttuly, J. S. Lambert

Who Enjoy the Choicest Products
 of the Worlds Commerce.
KnewIedss of What ls Best Mere In- pertant Than wealtENwith-
 eat lt.

It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are neces- sary to enable the best of the products of modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded. they may not hope foryorld-wide preeminence unless they meet with the general approval, not of individuals only. but of tho many who have the, happy faculty of selecting. enjoying and learn ing the real worth of the choicest prod- ucts. Their comrnendation. consequently, becomes important to others. since to meet the requirements of the well in- formed of all countries the method of manufacture must be of the most per- feet order and the combination the most excellent of It's kind. The above Is true not of food products only. but is espe- cially applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of century of growth and general use the excellent remedy. Syrup of Figs, Is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxattves. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative and carmin- ative principles of plants known to act most beneficially on the system and pre- scented in the form of a pleasant and re- freshing liquid. but also to the method VI maubiaCtuNe VI tue Nauhothi& <tB Syrup O.. which ensures that uniformi- ty and purity essential in q remedy in- tended for family use. Ask any physi- clan who is well informed and he will answer at once that it is an excellent laxative. If at ali eminent in his pro- fession and has made special study of laxatives and their effects upon the sys- tenn he will tell you that 1t Is the best of family laxatives. because 1t is sim pie and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually, when Q laxative is needed. without any un- pleasant after-effccts. Every weii-in- formed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs is an excet- lents laxative and Is glad to sell 1t. at the regular price of fifty cents per bot tie, because it gives general satfsfac- ton, but one should remember that in order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs 1t is necessary to buy the genuine which Is sold in original pack ages only: the name of the remedy Syrup of Figs and also the full name of the Company-California Fig Syrup Co.

 Marauder-News of
 the Gulf City.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Mobile May 2.
 At an early hour this morning residents In the neighborhood of the corner of Ann and Dauphin Streets were aroused by pistol shots and cries of distress emanat- ing from the home of E. s. Moore Mrs. Moore, said she was asleep with her baby and the other children were in a near room. Mrs. Moore was awakened by the presence of negro in the room. The man had his hands on her chest and was leaning heavily upon her. She screamed and the negro, stepping back from the bed, hurled d billet of lightwood at her, the missile striking her chin glancing blow and staggering her. the woman having aris-n and secured a pistol from under her pillow.
 The negro made for an open window and as he escaped she fired upon him. A search of the premises failed to find the negro. A wooden horse was found beneath the open window as was evidently used by the negro to enter the room. The piecs of wood used by the negro was found. It is about 20 inches long and has knot near one end. Had it struck fairly the woman would doubtless have been killed or seriously injured hole in the plaster of the wall where it struck after glancing from Mrs. Moore told the force used by the man.

JACK THE SLATER IS
 AGAIN AT WORK IN MOBILE

The policeman detailed on that beat nearing the shot and screams, rushed to the scene and learning the particulars, telephoned to police headquarters and Lieutenant Ed Roudean, with a squad, hurried to the vicinity in the patrol wagon. Mrs. Moore gave the lieutenant full description of the man, saying he was coatless and barelegged. Vigorous search was made and about daylight. a negro, Charley West, was found in a house on Catherine and Old She'll Road, and taken to police headquarters. Here he was locked in the dungeon until about o'clock when he was taken to the Moore home for identification.
 A detail of half a dozen policemen be- sides the regulars was stationed at the city prison tonight, though no trouble was anticipated. The impression Is out that West Is the man. Mrs. Moore was allowed to see the negro in the window as he was when she got good view of his limbs last night and she said he was the man.
 It Is learned that three other homes. those of George Hall, C. M. Shepard and another on Catherine Street, west of the Moore home. were visited later in the night, and attempt made to enter. but without avail.
 surveillance before on similar charge, but it being proved he was insane, was sent to the hospital at Mount Vernon. from which place he caped and return ed here. During the absence of West from the city not single so-called Jack the- Slapper'' case was reported. No sooner. however had he returned than an ecurrence, similar to many such In the past, was noted.
