TEE EXCELEKCE OF SYBDP OF FIGS
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 Sykup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Pigs 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 Fia Sykcp 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

It counteracts any tendency of a cold or

disease. It is the best remedy in the

BECAUSE THEY

Outrageous and Brutal Murder in China
of a Missionary and an English
man.
San Francisco. Feb. 3. In the stories
of the murders of missionaries and
foreign residents recently in China, de
tails of a particularly barbarous affair at
Chongan Chiaag, involving the life of
an Englishman named Fleming, and
Evangelist Pan, have been wanting. J.
R. Adams, of the Chinese inland mis
sion, visited the ecene ot tne murders,
and tells of a shocking condition of af
fairs, in the North China Daily News,
He ascertained that the people of Chon
gan had determined to take the life of
every foreigner in the place, and when
Mr. Fleming set foot in the town he was
a doomed man.
" At least 200 people witnessed the mur
der from the opposite side of the river.
Evangelist Pan was suddenly and quick
ly cut down. Mr. Fleming dismounted
from his mule to go to his assistance
but he, too, waa attacked and elain after
a desperate conflict, in which he was
dreadfully wounded with a sword and
an iron spike. The two victims were
stripped of their clothing and their
bodies left for days on the public road
