I began to have neuralgic pains in my head, my spine was affect ed with shooting pains and I had no control over the urinary organs. It was next to impossible for me to get any sleep. I lay awake many a night suffering the most intense pains, and the physician unable to relieve them. "But relief came at last One day one of my friends came to my room and handed me a box of Williams' Pink Pills. Of course I laughed at - him for daring to think that any patent medicine could aid me when my physi cian bad failed. I took the pills, bow ever, to oblige my friend more than for any faith I had in them, and I was treated to the most joyous surprise of my life when I realized that I was be ing relieved of my pains.

I hardly know bow to praise Williams' Pink Pills as they should be praised. They certainly are a wonderful prepa ration. I have recommended them to a number of my friends who were suffering from kidney complaints, and they have all been benefited by their oee."

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of eicknes are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, byrupof Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with mill ions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. . If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives tor other remedies are then not needed, df afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxati' e, one should have the best, and with t le well-informed everywhere, Syrup !f Figs stands highest and is most largely vSed and gives most general satisfaction.

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII. Bo the Object Willie' VUlt. of Uinlater Honolulu, Aug. 31. Minister Willis has resumed the duties of his office. It is rumored that his recent visit to Washington was for a conference with President Cleveland on the annexation policy. It is said President Cleveland empowered Willis to enter into nego tiations for either annexation, a mon- archial form of government with Eainlsni on the throne, or an American protectorate, the choice of either form of government to be left to the people to settle by vote. Willis refuses to dis close President Cleveland's intentions nntil the return of President Dole, who is now absent on the island of MauL A Battle With Indians. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 81. One bund red and fifty squaw men and 100 full blood Indians and halfbreeds had a pitched battle in the streets of Wewo ka, in the Seminole reservation, In dian territory. Three full-bloods and two halfbreeds were killed, and several wonnded on both sides. Troops from Fort Carey were summoned, and their prompt arrival saved great slaughter. At the last meeting of the Seminole council a law was passed ordering the immediate expulsion of all white men from the reservation. The efforts of the Indian police to put into effect the order of expulsion is what caused the trouble. ' Three Men Suffocated. Minneapolis, Minn., Ang. 81. Henry Dalnn, Uust Anderson and A. T.
