TEE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the orig-inality 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 worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fio Svkup 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
cf the excellence of its remedy. It is
iar 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

COLLISION IN PORTLAND.
Two O. It. & N. Freight Trains Collide
Causing a Disastrous Wreck.
A rear-end collision between twoO. R.
N. freight trains occured at 8:20 o'clock
yesterday morning in Portland under
the bridge where Union avenue crosses
Sullivan's gulch, on the East Side. Each
train was drawn by two engines.
Two engines were wrecked, four box
cars smashed into kindling wood and
the caboose of the first train wrecked
and thrown down a steep embankment
into the water of Sullivan's gulch.
Almost miraculously no lives were lost.
The trainmen saved themselves by
jumping.
The tangled mass of wreckage lies
piled up beneath the Union avenue
bridge, where hundreds of peoDle visited
it.
At the bottom of the gulch, and partly
submerged by water, lies the caboose of
the firet train. The end ia knocked out
aud there is a great gaping hole in the
side. Both engines are a heap of tangled
iron, and the tenders are fit only for a
junk shop. Engine No. 82 lies with its
rioso down the steep embankment and
only a few feet from the water. What
is left of engine No. 117 is on the other
eide of the track. Two box cars follow
ing were smashed into splinters and
jammed in under, the wreck of the en
gines. A big furniture car was lifted,
turned crosswise and heaped on top of
the debris. Bursting sacks of grain
were scattered on both sides of the line.
Both trains were bound for Portland.
The bead one was an extra. It stopped
just west of Grand avenue to do some'
switching. The rear train was pulled by
a double-Leader, consisting of engines
No. 117 and 82. There is a curve a
quarter of a mile east of where the extra
stopped. The grade is also steep and
the rails were slippery with rain.
" The engineer of 117 saw the danger
the minute bis engine poked its nose
around the curve. H whistled for
brakes, reverted the lever and jumped.
Other members of the train followed the
example.
There was a mighty crash as 117
plunged into the caboose of the extra.
Mingled with the grinding eoundof iron
and the snapping of wood splinters into
small bits, was the hiss and roar of
steam, which sent great clouds skyward,
and caused Officer Andrew to turn in a
fire alarm.' The fire department respond
ed promptly. The firemen formed a
bucket brigade and helped to smother
the fire in the furnaces.
The track of the Southern - Pacific
crosses the O. R. & N. track a ehcrt
distance west of the scene of the acci
dent. The Southern Pacific regular pas
senger train came along and forced the
O. R. & N. extra to come to a standstill
until it should pass. The crew of the
rear train, supposing the track was
clear, as it should have been ordinarily,
did not see the danger until rounding
the curve. Then it was too late.

HOW SHE FIXED HIM.
)ne Way of Disposing: of an Obnoxf
ioas Suitor.
He was a thea tric lover, and she didn't
(ike his style a little, bit, says the Nev
York Sun.
He was constant in his devotion,
however, and that made matters worse.
She had tried gentle means to get
rid; of him, but he had disregarded
them with painful persistency.
In this moment of her desperation
be felt it incumbent upon him to pro
pose to her as men under similar cir
cumstances so often do.
Which they wouldn't if they had any
sense at all.
"Dear one," he exclaimed, hurling
himself tragically at her feet, "I love
you. My life is yours. Will you take
it?"
She did not look like a murderess.
"Mr. Singleton," she responded. with
calm determination, "I will."
He gazed at her rapturously.
"Don't do that," she begged, draw
ing1 back from him as if in horror. "I
have taken your life, as you requested
me to do, and you are henceforth to all
i-nte.nts and purposes deadi."
He seemed dazed.
"I do not, Mr. Singleton," she con
tinued, turning aside, "desire to have
a dead person in. the house, and if you
do not go away at once I shall ring f oi
an ambulance and have you removed
to the morgue."
Then the dreadful situation in which
his own precipitate folly, had placed
him was revealed, and he removed him
self with promptness and dispatch.
ACRES OF PINK POND LILIES.
Floral Display That Delights Con
necticut Railway Travelers.
One of the most beautiful floral ex
hibits in New England is upon "Tad
pole," a famous pond lily pond on the
line of the Norwich & Worcester rail
road, one mile above Jevvett City, Conn
The surface of the pond is now a mass
of pink and white pond lilies, and their
fragrance is carried for miles by the
summer winds, says the New York
Sun.
No one knows how long this remark
able garden of pond lilies has been in
existence, but for many years Tad
pole's lilies have been sought by picnic
parties from near-by couuties in this
state, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Cartloads of the flowers are carried
away, but there seems to be no diminu
tion in the supply.
The railroad comes suddenly utxs-q
theipond, which it divides in halves, and
in au instant the passengers detect the
fragrance of the lilies and throw ip
the windows, the better to view th
beautiful and unusual sight. In one
eection of Tadpole there is a large tnacl
of lilies the blossoms of wTiich are ol
so rich a pink as trbe almost rose
mlored, it is said. They are of exceed
ingly rare beauty and ate much sought
after by collectors.
v Tadpole's unromantic name comes
from its being a favorite place foi
young frogs. It has been known by
this title for years? but an effort is now
making to&hang-e its name to the stil
more unromantic one of Clayvilf
