That Joyful Peeling
With the exilarating sense of renewed
health and strength and internal cleanli
ness, which follows the use of Syrup of
Figs is unknown to the few who have not
progressed beyond the old time medicines
and the cheap substitutes sometimes offer
ed but never accepted by the well-inform

SAVING THE COLON.
> Large Force of Hands Now at Work
On Her.
Santiago de Cuba, Oct 7 —Lieut.
Hobson has brought to Santiago a
number of 6 inch guns and ordnance
of smaller calibre, which were taken
from the Almirante Oquendo, Vizcaya
and Infanta Maria Teresa. He started
seventy men at the work of saving
the Cristobal Colon yesterday.
The men will have to build shacks
on the shore to live io Lieut. Hob
son said that be was still confident of
bis ability to save the Colon.
The Infanta Maria Teresa will be
ready to sail for the United Stales
from Guantanamo co next Monday.
Lieut. Hobson says that he will save
all the big guns from the Spanish
ships as soon as a derrick boat arrives.
Air bags and the compressed air ap
paratus for the work on the Colon are
here.
The sickness among the Fifth regu
lars has greatly diminished Fifty
three men were taken off the sick list
Tuesday and twenty-five Wednesday.
Only 157 of the 650 men are unable to
do dqly now,
Yellow fever is rapidly disappearing.
Favorable reports were received today
from the Ninth Immunes, the Twenty
fifth Kansas, and the Eighth Illinois
volunteers, who are encamped on the
San Luis plateau.
The lighter Los Angeles sailed for
Manzanillo Tuesday with a battalion
of the Third’lmmunes, Col. Ray com
manding. Gen. Wood, who was to
have gone to Manzanillo to reorganize
the civil government there, remained
behind, the situatiou here requiring
his attention. Col. Ray has been di
rected by Gen. Lawton to suppress the
lawlessness of the Cuban and Spanish
guerrillas about Manzanillo with a
firm hand. Col. Petit’s Fourth Im
munes will be sent to relieve Col Ray’s
man as soon as they arrive.
Maximilian’s Fish Order.
The Emperor Maxmilian was an
abstremious man as regarded the
pleasures of the table, a laudable hab
it, which was encouraged by all about
him, who loved to feast royally at bis
expense, while he dined alone upon
some simple dish, says Household
Words. But the Emporer had a taste
for fish, and especially sturgeon ; and
<>ne day he relished so much a dish of
this last that, like Oliver, and to the
equal surprise of the assistint, he
asked for more. “Extremely sorry,”
said the maitro d’hote), “but there is
no more sturgeon ”
The Emperor perhaps swore softly
to himself, perhaps he merely whistled
or hummed. Anyhow, after a pauses
he sent for the steward of the palace,
who enquired, with some surprise,
what his majesty pleased to want. “I
want to know,” said the Emperor,
“how much sturgeon you bought for
my dinner today!” “One thousand
pounds, your majesty,” replied the
steward. “The next time you buy a
thousand pounds and a half,” said the
Emperor, “so that I may have a second
help."
Beats the Klondike.
Mr. A.C. Thomas, of Marysville,
Tex , has found a more valuable dis
covery thin has yet been made in the
Klondike. For years he suffered un
told agony from consumption, accom
panied by hemorrhages; and was ab
solutely cured by Dr. King’s New Dis*
covery for Cbnsumption, Coughs and
Colds. He declares that gold is of
little value in comparison with this
mavelous cure ; would have it, even if
it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.
Asthma, Bronohitis and all throat
and lung affections are positively
caret’ by Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption. Trial bottles free
at J. N. Harris <fc Son’s and Carlisle <fc
Ward’s drug stores. Regular size 50c
and SIOO. Guaranteed to cure or
price refunded.
Mr. H. A. Pass, Bowman, Ga., writes:
“One of my children was very delicate and
we despaired of raising it. For months
my wife and I could hardly get a night’s
rest until we began the use of Pitts’ Car
minative. We.found great relief from tbe
first bottle.” Pitts’ Carminative acts
promptly and cures permanently. It is
pleasant to the taste, and children take it
without coaxing. It is free from injurious
drugs and chemicals.

BUCK FEVER
Illustrations of What a Man May Do
When He Shoots at His First Deer.
They were unmistakably bound for
the North Woods for an outing, and,
judging From their talk, had nut seen
much of each other since their hunt
ing trip io ’97. *
“Thia buck ague is a carious thing,”
remarked one of the parly. “I can’t
say I ever suffered much myself from
it, but one of our parly two years ago
had a touch of it that I guess he’ll
never get over. We were slopping at
'Mike’s Cabin’ that year, and our
guide bad taken the dogs out to start
back to Beaver Meadows, so as to
drive the deer down to the lake where
we were posted on the different run
ways.
“Il so happened that George
Twitchell was given the stand where
‘New Lake outlet’ comes down the
mountain and spreadeout ever a lit
tie sand flow. George had never seen
a wild deer. In fact had never been
in the country, and was only then
away from his desk by doctor’s orders.
But he fancied that he qould hit a
deer easy enough with at least one of
all those bullets in his repeater, and
we all hoped be would. Well, after a
while the baying of the bounds ech
oed nearer and nearer, and every one
of us felt bis pulse quicken cod Ijtla
nerves tighten as we watched' the
woods and prayed in in most
hearts that tbe deer would chose our
runway. Presently all doubt as to bis
location was dispelled by sounds of
splashing and some terrible language
in a very excited voice wbicb I recog
nized as belonging to George. It was
evident that something had happened,
and hastening over to his stand, I
found that something had happened.
There stcod George, rifle io band,
excitedly swearing at everything and
loudly declaring that those must have
bien blank cartridges, not to have
killed a buck at that short distance.
Examination, however, showed that
be had pumped the entire magazine
empty without once pulling the trig
ger. There on the ground lay the ten
cartridges, not one of which bad- been
fired!*
This reminded tbe other man of tbe
lime “Ned Barker narrowly escaped
drowning.” Said be: “In ’94 a party
of us were camping on Sand Lake and
Ned caught sight of a big buck swim
ming across tbe upper end of the lake.
Hastily grabbing his gun, he jumped
into a boat and pulled for all be was
worth in that direction. Whan near
tbe middle of tbe lake tbe deer chang
ed bis course, probably because of
some bounds we then heard for the
first time since seeing the deer. This
gave Ned his chance, and, giving his
oars a mighty pull, he stood up, gun
in hand, just as tbe deer swam past
the bow of the b)»t, and such a fusil
lade of shots as he let fly would do
credit to a gatling gun, but tbe deer
kept straight on and disappeared in
the forest. Then our interest centered
in Ned, for he had lost an oar and
seemed to be sinking. When we got
out there with the other boat we found
that that fellow in his excitement had
fired five of those bullets through tbe
bottom of bis boat.”—New York Sun.

The Philippine Islands.
In the Philippine Islands, under
Spanish rule, all males over 21 years
of age must pay a poll tax that equals
about £4 of our money, and tbe woman
must pay £3, says London Tit-Bits.
A man must pay a license to sell co
coanuta from hie own trees or indigo
of his own raising. Every article ol
furniture that costs half a sovereign is
laud. The curtain never goes up at
the theater unless £2 is qaaid to the
government, and every aet of slaugh
tering his own animals, dipping bis
own-sheep or felling bis own trees, the
Philippine farmer must pay a fee to
the government. There is exacted
government tribute for getting mar
ried, and for getting buried, and at
every step and turn of hie life tbe tax
collector holds out bis hand to him
and it is not k demand that can be
refused. No wonder Spain wishes to
keep a possession that yields such a
return ; no wonder also that tbe last
sixty years have developed seventeen
rebellions in the Philippines.

TBE EXCELLENCE OF SniFWMS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured' by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthlesa
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
