FORTUNE SEEKING EMIGRANTS Many a poor family that seeks the western wilds In the hope of winning a fortune, Is pre served from that Insidious foe of the emigrant and frontiersman chills and fever by Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters. So effectually does that incomparable medicinal defense fortify the system against the combined influence of a malarious atmosphere and miasma-tainted . water, that protected by it the pioneer, the miner or the tourist provided with It, may safely encounter the danger. ' Immense deposits of asbestos have teen disoovered in the Ferris range of mountains in Carbon county, Wyoming. There is no substitute lor thorough going, ardent and sinoere earnest. ' Gladness Comes With a better understanding' of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort In the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions 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 or other remedies are then not needed. If ' afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely Ked and gives most general satisfaction. Blood Poison, Contagious Iood Poison has been ap propriately called the curse of mankind. It is the one disease that physicians can not cure; their mercurial aud potash remedies only bottle up the poison in the' system, to surely break forth in a more virulent form, resulting in a total wreck of the system. Mr. Frank B. Martin, a prominent jeweler at 926 Pensylvania Ave., Wash- ington,u.i;.,says: I was for a long time under treat tnent of two of the best physi cians of this city, for a severe case of blood poison, but my condition , grew worse all the while, not withstanding the Wm fact that they ir charged me three (1 .

Old Glory Trampled Upon by Turkish Officers. New Tork, Deo 7. A letter from au American missionary for nearly twenty years a resident of Constantinople has been received by Rev. Dr. Strong, seo retary of the American Evangelical League, which confirms the recent statement of Rev. Dr. Cyrus Hamlin with relation to the status of Ameri cans and the Amerioan flag in Turkey, especially with regard to the occasion when the flag was torn and trampled upon in an Armenian village. The letter is dated September 80, and says: "The rasoally police offloer, Hassan Chaoush, who tore down and destroyed our flag, was caught the Sunday follow ing the massaore, with f GOO upon him, obtained from the Armenians on his promise to save their lives, and whom he had treaoherously given up to death. Everybody is asking whether Mr. Ter- rill will do anything to vindioate the honor of our flag, but as yet we hear of nothing being done. " Another letter from Constantinople dated September 80, only five days af ter the occurrence, says: "Hasseky, the house whioh Miss Gleasoa and Mrs. Seeleve occupied, was looted and the servant left in oharge doubtless lost his life. Men wearing uniforms headed the mob whioh attaoked the house and pulled down and tore to shreds the United States flag that had been bung out." A DARING HOLD-UP. Highwaymen Loot the Office of Bt. Louis Brewing Company. St. Louis, Deo. 7. Three highway men, with drawn revolvers, entered the offioe of the Home Brewing Com pany, at 8 o'olook this afternoon, and held up the cashier, Robert Haver kamp, foroing him to hand over $400, and then, not being satisfied with the amount, went behind the counter, loot ed the money drawers and seoured from $500 to $800 additional. When the hold-up ooourred, there were present in the offioe the cashier, a half dozen clerks and several custom ers. Two of the robbers held the 00 oupants of the office in line while the other went through the safe and money drawers. ... When the desperadoes held taken all the money, they produoed ropes and bound, hand and foot, everyone in the offioe. This required nearly ten min utes, and it seems marvelous that they were not disoovered. Having bound their viotims, the rob bers warned them against making a noise under pain of instant death. When the thieves had gone out, one of the olerks managed to free himself and then liberated the others. The police were at onoe notified by tele phone. Upon leaving the offioe, the robbers mounted a North Broadway oar and went south when they left the car and went toward the river. The brewery employes were unable to give the police good descriptions of the men. CAPTURED A BURGLAR. Plucky Act of a Woman Who Found a Man In Her Boom. Portland, Or., Deo. 7. Mrs. E. E. Liddy of this city, made a pluoky cap ture at 1 :80 o'clock this morning of an aged sneakthief, who was in the aot of breaking into her house. She was eating lunch upstairs with a woman, when she thought she heard a window raised in one of the side rooms, down stairs, and, rushing down, she opened a door just in time to see a man, who was half-inside an open window, make a hurried exit. The street door was near at hand, and Mrs. Liddy, who is a' musoular woman, ran out just in time to see the thief running up the street. The woman ran after him and oaught him. "What d'yer want?" exolaimed the thief, at the same time trying to break away from the woman, who had hold of his oollar. "I want yon," answered Mrs. Liddy, as she took a firmer hold and began walking her prisoner baok to the bouse. A woman in the house telephoned the polioe station, and when the patrol wagon arrived, Mrs. Liddy turned her prisoner over to Offioer Nioolai. TRAVELS OF HINMAN. Fought a Pitched Battle la a California Town. Angel's Camp, Cal., Deo. 7. A pitched battle was fought on the streets of Angel's Camp this evening between two officers and Robert Einman, the desperado who is wanted at Boseburg, Or., for breaking jail and shooting a deputy sheriff. Before the constable had an opportunity to prepare for Hin man's arrest, he broke away and ran up the street, whioh was full of people. The offioer s followed him, firing at ev ery step. Human turned and took a shot at eaoh of his pursuers, but with out effect. The officers' ammunition was finally exhausted, and they were obliged to give up the pursuit, while their man disappeared in the darkness. A posse was organized and sent in pur suit, but up to a late hour he had not been found. It is thought by the offi cers that he was hit by oue of the shots.

A six-point elk was recently killed on the west fork of Cow creek, in the southwestern part of Douglas county. The oarcas weighed 1,200 pounds. The hunter used the meat to bait bear traps and says he caught three bears and ex pects to catch more. A Coquille man says that a great many logs went to sea during the late freshet, notwithstanding the faot that it was stated they had been caught in the boom at Parkersburg. He says comparatively few logs were saved, and estimates the loss at between 500 and 1,000. ' A spruoe log was sawed at Himpel & Wheeler's mill, whioh, when rolled on the carriage, had to be hewn off on the upper side to allow it to pass under the timbers which support the' roof of the mill, says the Nebalem Times. Unfortunately the height of the roof support is not given. . Over 40,000 head of beef cattle from Malheur and Harney oounties have been sold this season, according to the J estimates of those who have hired pas tures to the drovers.

", The woods at the headquarters of the Wishkah river are said to be infested by a large number of big gray wolves. The high price of wheat is enabling many farmers to pay off their mortgage indebtedness, and as a result releases are being filed in unprecedented num ber with the oounty auditor of Colfax county. , The total receipts of the seaond an nual exhibition of the Washington state fair, held at North Yakima, from Speteinber 23 to Ootober 8, 1896, were $3,943.95; the disbursements were 13,922.10, leaving $2 1. 85 cash on hand. The Waterville Big Bend Empire says: Evidently there is more likely to be a defioienoy than a surplus of wheat in Douglas oounty next spring. and the mills may find difficulty in ob taining the necessary supply. There is good reascn to look for fair prices all of next year." Mrs. Rose Zettler, of Taooma, oon vioted in the Pieroe county superior court of the crime of grand laroenyand sentenced to 18 months in the peniten tiary at hard labor, will have to serve her term, the supreme oourt having affirmed the decision of the superior oourt for refusing a new tiral.

Little J'arm In Japan. Japan, and not France or Belgium, would appear to be the land of petite culture. According to a recent Ameri can bulletin a couple of acres is con sidered a large tract for farming pur poses. . Most of the farms are smaller, and on a little plot a surprising variety of crops Is cultivated a few square feet of wheat, barley, maize and millet; a plot of beans perhaps ten feet wide by twenty feet long, a similar area, of potatoes and - peas and a patch of onions "about as big as a grave;" beet root, lettuce, turnips, sweet' potatoes and other crops occupy the rest of the area. .'The farmer examines his grow ing crops every morning, just as an en gineer inspects his machinery, and if anything is wrong he puts it right. If a weed appears In the bean patch he pulls It up; if a hill of potatoes or any thing else fails It Is at once replanted. When he cuts down a tree he always plants another. As soon as one crop Is harvested the soil h worked over, manured, and forthwith resown to an other crop. It Is estimated that nine tenths of the agricultural land of Japan is devoted t6 rice, and as this is a crop requiring much wc.er the paddy fields are banked up Into terraces, one above the other, and divided off into small plots twenty-five feet or thirty feet square, with ridges of earth between them to prevent the water from flowing away when they are flooded. : All farm ing lands are irrigated by a system that Is a thousand years old. Some of the ditches are walled up with bamboo wicker work and some with tiles and stone. Nearly half the total population of Japan is engaged ' in agriculture. Silk and tea, the two chief exports of the country, are raised almost by the work of women. London Times. ITS LESSON. From the hard times people will reap lessons of experience, learning how to act with more care in business and how to ap ply remedies for the stringency of such times. With more care we will have less accidents, and. much less suffering if we know the true remedy. In the held and work-shop, indeed in all activities, sprains and bruises happen and bring the hard times of pain and suffering. Experience teaches that it is always best to get the best remedy, whioh is the cheapest in the end. Experience points to St. Jacobs Oil as without Question the best remedy for such mishaps, being the surest and prompt est cure. Suffering brings hard times even in prosperity. The best remedy for it is the surest way out of them. Seventy-two races inhabit the earth and use 3,004 different tongues. . There are about 1,000 religions. , State or Ohio, City of Toledo, j . .
