appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

New York, June 5.-The trial OF
RAYMOND Hitchcock. the comedian
came to an abrupt halt in the supreme
court today, shortly after the opening

defending the comedian on indictments
growing out of charges preferred by
young girls, Justice Golf granted AL
adjournment until Monday to allow

cock having been surrendered by MS

some other justice. which is not con-
sidered probable, he will have TO re-
main in the Tombs until his trlal IS
resumed Monday next.

new STRENGTH FOR REPUBLICANS

A notable feature OF the present
rather uneventful presidential cam.
paign is the increasing strength Of the
minor parties, a strength which is
viewed with much favor by the repub.
licans for they know that the most Of
such gains detract from the forces OF
che democrats. AT the last presiden-
tial election the socialists, the prohi.
bitionists, the peoples party and the
socialist labor party polled total OF
9,25l votes. This year they are all
again in the field, and besides there is
the new born national independence
party Of w. r. Hearst. Socialists and
prohioitionists can easily count on
gains, especially. the latter, for they
have been increasing In numbers 10
the south, that great stronghold OF
the democrats. The solid democratic
south Is nowadays receiving many
republican and prohibition blows at
Its solidity. Hearst's sphere OF influ.
ence Is mainly confined to the Pacific
Coast, Illinois, New York and Massa.

coded to the republicans and New
York is likely to 60 the same way, leav.
ing Illinois and Massachusetts some.
what doubtful Mr. Hearst is, how
ever, capable Of sending his journals
and his money into the middle west
where Bryan's hopes are strongest and
he might make just enough Roadway
In Ohio, Indiana, Kansas and Nebraska
to spoil all hopes OF success for the
democrats. From the socialists Mr..
Bryan has even more to fear. In the
states that he has selected for his
battle-ground they have been gaining
In strength at recent elections. In
1905 Colorado had socialist vote of
1898, rising from 1904 in 1904. In
Iowa, Debs polled l4,s47 votes In 1904
and In Kansas 1894. In Missouri the
democratic plurality In 1906 was 9,077,
and the socialist vote was IL ,52s. Here
1t would not take much to make the
democrats lose the state. The major.
ity OF the recruits Of the socialists
come from the laboring classes, from
men who bave always voted the demo.
cratic ticket In the vain hope that
their condition would be bettered nv
sticking to such a party, Many years
OF failure have shown them that the
democrats can do nothing for them
and now they prefer to cling to plat.

In the prohibition, socia i,t and Hearst
camps that the democrats will suffer
theirgreatest losses In November while
the republican party will continue in
all Its former strength with the added
V'gor that comes from natural growth.
