The
Exceptional
Eqx1ipn1en1

Of the California Fig Syrup Go. and the
scientific attainments Of its chemists have
rendered possible the production Of Syrup
Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA, in al Of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
NAL principles Of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup Of
Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA and as the gen
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge Of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
Of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

Quincy Herald: Hugh Shannon
thinks he has put one over on Ned
Egan. Central Association fans are
of the opinion that Hughie made a
big Irish bull which he will regret.
One thing is certain, he improved
Egan's chances for the pennant fifty
per cent when he snapped Outfielder
Finney, one of the best batsmen and
star fielders Of the league for Pitcher
Webster. With Finney in the outer
garden, Egan's line UP is almost per.
feet and Hughie will live to regret the
deal. Hughie had Webster on his
team last year and thinks lot of him.

Big Right Fielder Il Expected 70 Ar
rive in keokuk This Evening
Or Tomorrow From Des
Moinss.
DOUBLE HEADER SUNDAY
Waterloo Team Arrived Ia the City
This Morning Ready For the
Great Series and Conf.
dent Of Victory.

AS far as the Keokuk directors and
Manager Frank Belt are concerned.
everything has been completed in the
purchase Of Mertens from Des Moines,
and the big right fielder is expected to
arrive either this evening or some
time Sunday. The deal has been com
pleted and there seems little chance
that we will lose the valuable man Belt
stated this morning that he expected,
Mertens last evening, but as.the field
er needed little time to make ar
rangements for his departure it was
probable that he could not get away
in time. Under the terms OF the sale
Mertens is to report at Keokuk at
once.
The star outfielder will greatly help
keokuk in the pennant race and should
ne arrive in time for the double head
er tomorrow the Indians would have
an excellent opportunity OF taking both
games from Boy1e's men. Quincy had
been hot after Mertens for the past
two weeks, but differences between
Manager Hotter and Manager Dryer
OF some time ago has made 1t impos.
sible for a deal between those two
clubs to be brought to termination.
Double Header Tomorrow,
Waterloo, under the able leadership
Of Manager Frank Boyle, arrived from
Quincy this morning for four game
engagement. VITA the Indians.
Sunday double header will be play
ed with Boyle's men at Hubinger
park, the first game beginning at 2:15
o'clock. Blue Jacket viii pitch this
afternoon, leaving Bramble and Prough
for the two games tomorrow.
Boyle's men have been playing great
ball at Quincy and the men have been
smuggling the ball. Yesterday Karstens
and Rouse were batted hard and il
looks as II the games between the
Champs and Keokuk will be good
ones.
| The Indians have won six games In
row and without an exaggeration
may look for four straights from the
upstate team.
All fans of Keokuk should turn out
and watch the great struggle Sunday.

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

c. ONE Of the states are disposed to consider
~ the income tax amendment to the consti-
tuition at Legislatures which are now in ses-
sion, others arc wishing to call special sessions
while still others think the matter should be
passed upon by Legislatures yet to be elected.
The latter, we think, is the proper course.
Some time is required for the proper consider
ing Of the question and there is no need of
haste The Alabama Legislature has passed
the amendment without opposition, but the
Georgia body, to the surprise Of many friends
of the amendment postponed action. The Con-
necticut Legislature followed the decision of that
of Georgia preferring to put the question up to
new Legislature.
Report comes from Texas that an effort is
making to have the Legislature OF that state
called in special session for the purpose of pass
ing upon the amendment. Texas Congress-
man writing 10 the Governor of his state says
that the amendment is in peril, but that it may
be saved by the prompt action of Texas and
other States. And so it may because there
should be no doubt Of what Texas will do as
Senator Bailey was one Of the warmest ad-
vocates of the amendment. Still we do not see
why the friends of the amendment should think
that delay will harm the chances of the adop-
ton of the amendment. Those who favor the
amendment certainly should not fear public disr
cussion They should take the ground that the
more il is debated the more likely will be its
adoption by the States

The Doomed Billboard.


Philadelphia Telegraph.
Thanks to the public-spirited efforts Of
various municipal and national civic inn
provement associations. that excrescence
on the face OF nature. the billboard. is
In a fair way to follow the bellmen and
the town-crier into oblivion. In many
cities, II is true, the billboard continues
to afflict the neighborhood and in many
parts OF the country It still mars the
scenery. but the result Of the organized
effort for its abolition is already seen in
its total banlshment from some cities
and It's lessened number throughout the
country.
Advertisers generally are reaching the
realization that the gaining Of public at
tentlon and inducing OF public patron
age are best promoted through the agen-
cy OF the newspaper The whole popula-
ton Of the country reads the daily press
IN these times OF general education. The
pages OF one OF more papers are turned
every day In the year by the majority OF
Americans and the newspaper clientele
Includes all sorts and conditions Of men,
women and children who read in their
favorite journal news, features and no
tees that respect all affairs OF life. that
deal with all the worlds events and that
have some interest for everybody. In the
columns OF reputable journals they like
wise find reliable information as to per-
sonal and family reauirements-mer-
chandise. wares, employment. property.
entertainment. cts.
They expect TO md what they want IN
one department or another OF their pa
per and have grown accustomed 10 de-
pend on the advertising section for the
replenishment Of their daily and routine
needs. The advertising columns OF the
daily press have superseded the ancient
hroadside and the futile dodger and be-
cause they have every advantage IN their
favor wil eventually displace by abb
sorption OF the advertising the inartistic
billboard Even without the labor OF the
civic beauty societies this result was
bound TO come because shrewd mer-
chants doubted the efficiency Of adver-
tising which only momentarily caught
the eve and saw the Value Of medium
that circulated their appeals extensively
stamped them with the endorsement n
it's own prestige and carried them into
the household OF the buyer.
