AFRAID OF YELLOW FEVRB
Government Caution* About Sending
Troop* to Cuba-
Washington, Nov. I.—The death
of Col. Waring ano other American
officers who went to Havana, of yel
i low fever, abowing the prevalence of
the plague in places favorably situated,
have caused a chance in the plans for
the occupation of the island*.
It is considered unwise to send a
large body of troops until the danger
of infection has passed. Much will
depend on the report of Colonels Lee
and Hecker, of the quartermaster’s
department, who sailed from Havana
today, but no large body of troop* will
leave for Cuba before the end of No
vember.
A few will go very soon to construct
the camps for the army of occupation
and every precaution ' wilt be taken
against yellow jack.
No haste will be made in getting the
Spaniard* out of Cuba, the govern
ment being content to let them have
until the first of tbe year.
* There is no truth jn tbe report that
tbe transports for the Spaniards will
be furnished by tbe United States.
There has been no change in tbe
decision to assume control over the
island about December Ist,- and
presence of the Spaniards will proba
bly cause no friction.

Cut in Chainlet* Cycle*.
An announcement of interest to
thousands of riders and one that has
anxiously been awaited, was made last
week. Tbe chainless wheels, which
have sold for $125 since they were
placed on the market, will be listed at
$75 in 1899.
This is a cut of SSO at the end of a
one-year trial, and, while a redaction
was expected, it was a surprise to some
that tbe amount fell below SIOO. It
was tbe price of tbe chainless wheel
that prevented it from becoming more
popular during tbe past season. It
has been predicted by retailers ever
since midsummer that with a drop in
the price tbe chainless would have a
run next year.
The cut from $125 to $75 is one that
meets tbe popular demand of tbe times,
and tbe sentiment in tbe trade is that
tbe move is x wise one. That tbe
chainlees machine can be made and
sold for $75 proves that those who
introduced it and who have supported
it consider it a success. Accompany
ing the announcement of the cut io
tbe price of tbwcbainless is one to tbe
effect that tbe highest grade chain
jicycle will sell for SSO next year. This
stand is taken by the Pope Manufac
turing Company, makers of the Co
lumbia wheel, the oldest makers in
the country, and it is likely to be fol
owed by cuts on tbe part of other
manufacturers.
That Joyful Feeling
With the exilarating sense of renewed
health and strength and internal cleanli
ness, which follow* 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
ed.

Kansas All Right.
Kansas farmers refuse to sell wheat
at present prices. This year’s crop of
60,000,000 bushels, together with 10,-
000,000 to 20,000,000 bushels of old
wheat, is piled up in the granaries and
elevators, held for higher prices. This
has resulted in the closing of many
mills in the stat* and has materially
affected railroad traffic.
Several months ago tbe Kansas rail
roads made preparations for a big rush
in wheat shipments, but their trains
are going out empty. Thousands of
freight oars were hunted up and re-
for use, font they have not been
needed. The farmers of tbe state are
financially independent, having paid
their debt* from previous crops, and
they can afford to hold tbeir wheat
indeflnilety,

RHEUMATISM AMD L¥HO
A Physician Finds* Connection Be
tween the Two-
“Rheumatism makes more liars than
any other disease,’’ said a physician,
“Chough the people moat affected by
Rare unconsciously affected, as far as
their lying is concerned. Ordinarily,
an attack of rheutnaliatn, corning auft
going, lasts about three weeks The'
second week is generally the worst soq
far as pain is concerned Tbe first
week the sufferer devotee to tris er her
own cures. Failing to quiet tbe ah
tack and the consequent pain, the
second is taken up with tiding th*
various remedies suggested by friend|
•nd acquaintances.
“As the third week enters, tbe enM
ferey in the meantime having about
made up his or her mind to let the]
dieeaee bare its own way, having given
up tbe hope of trying to cure it, the
patient is ready to try ss many things
and remedies as come along and gen-1
•rally does so, it matters not how sen-1
sational they are.
“One says wear a pewter ring op
the second finger of the left band,
another to drink grdkt" quantities of
waler, another to consume a half doz
en lemons a day, another to carry
horse chestnuts in your pockets, and
so on. By tbe end of the third week
tbe rheumatism has passed away and
praises are sung to every eat in favor
of the last remedy tried. The entire
credit is given the last thing tried,
and while it may not base done any
more good than if tbe patient carried
• brick in his overcoat or dress pocket
if that was the particular thing' last
done it will be for all time heralded
as a cure certain and reliable. Here
is where rheumatism makes liars of
people. It is rare that a sufferer from
rheumatism is ever told to consult .a
physician. That seems to be tbe last
thing thdugbt of in cases of rheuma
tism, though nearly tbe first thing in
nearly all other attacks of disease.
“Curiously 'enough, in nearly all
tbe springs, medicated baths and oth
er sure cures the patient is toM that
twenty one baths.or twenty one day*
of drinking the water ia neceuary.
Here comes in the three weeks again,
and I suppose it is necessary. It is at
best a troublesome complaint, and it
rarely yields until it has run its course
to return on tbe slightest provoca
tion.” —Washington Star.

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it ia
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Sybup
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 Califorwia Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthleae
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fobkia Fig Sykup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and tbe 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
