(Spe cial In all the history of Methodist con lereneea. It Is doubtful If there ever a a greater "shake-up" In the list of pas toral alignments at the last minute than occurred here this morning. Bishop Smith had virtually completed h!e work, when Rev. B. F. Rowland, for four years superintendent of Salem dis trict, arose, without any previous warn ing and asked to be released from his position and the work of the ministry for one year. He gave business as hte reason. His request was granted, and, aa the north-bound train was nearly due, there was scarcely any time In which to work out a system of adjustment to fit all the problems that arose. Bishop Smith, therefore, retired with his cabinet a few minutes, and then re turned and read the assignments. Be cause of the sudden change brought about bv the resignation of Dr. Rowland. Dr. Clarence True Wilson was left at Cen tenary Church. Portland, and Dr. W. H. Selleck was left at First Church, Balom. Rev. James Moore, who haa been serving at 'Woodbnrn. was promoted to the posi tion of superintendent of Salem district, taking Dr. Rowland's place. Owing to the unexpected shift.

Messrs. Kyle and Maeon left their most southerly camp above the Deschutes Canyon on foot, intending to follow up the river to what Is called the Cove, at the point where the Crooked River Joins the Deschutes.

Largest variety at Mams xrunK ua One of the Important Duties of Physicians and fttck WA.1-fffrkriYorl ff World i is-to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup .Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. ' TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish , to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge. of what is: best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the -use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of -family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the" same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. , Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D.
