There is comfort in I the knowledge, that so many forms of I [sickness are not due to any uetnal disI lease, but simply to a constipatedcondiI .tion of the system, which the pleasant I rfata.lv laxative, Syrupof Figs, promptIMV removes. That is why it is the only I J'remedy with millions"! families, and is I everywhere esteemed so highly’ by ail I 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 beneficial effects, to note when you purchase, that you have the genuine article. which is' manufactured by the Calilornia 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 lie 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 Used and gives most general satisfaction. REDUCED RATES TO HOT SPRINGS, ARK.

OVER A CENTURY OLD. VENERABLE MEN ANO WOMEN OF INDIANA. fainra biilllvnn Horn In 1701,and Martin Huffcrtjr, Who la 101 Yearn of Aee—Hooaiar l.ndien Who AroCloae to Firn rcore. Indiana a Great Health Resort. Southern Indiana is noted for the longevity of It* people, Within a tive-tuile rndluK of the thiuly aettled diatrlct of lampold there are not le»» than fifty jieopie who have already passed the allotted three »core and leu. Octogenarian* are common. Then* ser'inn to be something in the air that promote* long life. It Is not unuanal to see men of To and 80 swinging the ax or following the plow. There I* Ju huh Sullivan, who but the other day celebrated hi* I'ioth birthday anniversary. Mr. Sullivan was born in Uounty Kerry, Ireland, married at the age of 45, and with hi* wife set sail for the laud of the free five year* later -in IMI. Mr. Sullivan always was and til' ■s of very abstetniou* habits. Soon afle. landing in Philadelphia Sullivan became foreman for n railway contractor engaged In the la-high Valley or other parts of Pennsylvania, ft was there he acquired it Miitlicieney to place him “above distress, below envy,” but the rough element with which his work brought him in contact was never relished, and he removed to Perry County, Indiana, where he investisl money in lands, and settled upon the farm which he still owns. In the prime of life the old gentleman was a practiced athlete, stauding 5 feet lit inches, measuring 43 inches around the chest mid weighing 2<*» pound*. He is not so tall or heavy now, but the deep chest and powerful frame bespeak the robust constitution. The old gentleman furnished two son* for the late rebellion, mid would have enHmiß 1 ’ I .‘i Si i/'fi ' M JAMES srUMTAW AT 100. listed himself, but was turned away on account of his age. Mr. Sullivan is a devout Catholic and attends church in Ix'op'dd, to which he occasionally walks at seasons when the road is good, a distance of three miles, and is as light of foot as the ordinary octogenarian. He has is'en a Itemocrat ever since his first vote. Another old Indianan is Martin Rafferty. also a native of the old sod, from the County tlalway. Mr. Rafferty celebrated bis lulst birthday on April 1. He jokingly remarked that he was sent as an April fool present to his mother in the year 1795; that he was so small he could have been rocked in a alipper am! so weak hi* life was despaired of and his coffin prepared. Mr. Rnfferty came to America in the year IS3!*. He spent upward of twenty years in Now York plying his trade —that of a *boemaker. Two years were si>ent in Pittsburg. Thence he went to Parkersburg. \V. Va„ then to Louisville, Ky.. whsmee he moved to Perry County. Indiana. twenty-eight years ago. Mr. Rafferty furnished one son to the “lost cause, and two of them he’.jied rent the queen’* own in the memorable fiasco of IMKI. His own sentiments flowed in the same channel, but ho remembered the advice given by the bishop to the shoemaker. "Shoemaker, stick to your last." and stuck. Mr. Rnfferty spent nearly nil the ps«t winter abed with the grip, and his death was daily expected, but he is now apparAS vK iw MAIITIN BAFFKItTV AT 60. ently recovered, and with care, as be says. "May April fool them a few times more.” Like Mr. Sullivan, with whose family Mr. Rafferty’s is connected by marriage, Mr. Rafferty was a practiced athlete of the" same deep chested, expansive build, but is only 5 feet 7 inches high. Unlike Mr. Sullivan, he is an incessant snuff user, though ho uses tobacco in no other form. He enjoys a social glass, and credits good brandy with helping him to rise from his late illness, but never drank excessively. His hair is almost as black as nt 21. ami ha* close-clipped whiskers, which he always wore ns in the picture (the only one he ever had taken), which represents him in his (Kfth year. His deep blue eyes require no glasses, and his teeth are firm nml white. Mrs. Catherine Dupaquier is now in her 07th year. Mrs. Dupaquier is a native of Paris. France, but came to New Orleans at the age of li with her parents. She wns bereft of life's partner thirty years ago. but had acquired a competency by mercantile business and has lived at ease since her widownood among her children. Mrs. Dupaquier can sneak barely enough

This old lady Is also a native of France and arrived on these shores with a large family la her Imsbiii I ptling her a year. She set out from New Orleans to meet her husband nt Vicksburg, Ml**., but reached there only in time to gee hi* corpse prepared hastily for burial, h* having fallen n victim to the yellow fever. Mrs. Perrot, like her neighbor. Mrs. Du* puquier, never learned to Speak English. ■ r mu*. tu'i'Aot trn at 91. Iler home is upon the farm purchased in IX*>2, where she has lived ever since. Death of ‘‘llilljr" William*. William Williams died at the home of his son in Warsaw Wednesday. "Billy” Williams, as he wns familiarly called, filled a prominent part in th.- political history of the State of Indiana. He came to Warsaw in IS'lit. was ndmittiil to the practice of law in 1*»»1. In IK*4 he was nominated by the Whig party as a candidate for tlovernor of the State. During the cauviiHs he held joint discussions with his opponent, Ashbel P. Willard, in sixtyfive counties of the State. He was defeated, but ran fur ahead of his ticket. Mr. Williams took an active part in securing the location of the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne anil Chicago Railroad through Warsaw and was for some years one of the director* of the road. In 1559 he was elected one of the directors of the northern Indiana prison at Michigan City. In IS*>3 lie was appointed commander of '■ \>p Alien at Fort \Cayne, with authority to raise tro q>«. Within six we. kr- he had four full reginunts in the field. He wns then ap(«>inted paymaster for volunteer troop*, with headquarters at Louisville. Ky., where he remained to the ch se of the war. In IStitJ he was elected by the Republican party to the Fortieth Congress, re-elected as member of the Fortyfirst and Forty-second Congresses, and in 1572 was elected as member from the State at large of the Forty-third Congress. He was appointed by President tlariiel l as minister to Paraguay and Uruguay. South America, his commission lieing dated the day President Garfield was shot by Guiteau, which position be held for several years. Will Give Up Their Pastor. The spring meeting of the Indianapolis Pr 'sbytery was held at Indianapolis and during the session Elder Vinson Carter .of the Tabernacle Church presented the question of the dissolution of the pastoral relations existing iietween Dr. Roudthaler and the church. He said that the membership was loath to give up the pastor, but believed that it was best, and joined with him in asking that the relations which have existed for more than eleven years be diiwolved. The petition was granted and a number of ministers took occasion to say a few words in parting with him. Tiie most extended talk was made by Dr. Milburn of the Second Church, who said: "I first feel u personal regret that he is going away and then a feeling of felicity, a great joy that he is going to a sphere where he will be of high use. He win be missed fully as much by the city of Indianapolis as by his own church. But it may be a good thing for him that he goes. In this age, that is so versatile and mercurial, we want change* in pastors occasionally. He is going to a great city, where light and help are needed. It is a place where they need hi* bustling spirit.” Watched mid Cash in a Rnc Paa. Fletcher Highley, a farmer living near Liberty, received several hundred dollars the *tlker day from tiie sale of some stock and placed the money in his wife’s rag big for safe keeping fearing that thieves ;ht find it if it wer<‘ known to be about house. The repository seemed such a safe on that he added his gold watch and one belonging to his wife. Saturday he was away from home, ami, a peddler calling. Mrs. Highley sold the rags for half a cent a pound, and received a tin saucepan valued «t 20 cents. When Mr. Highley returned in the evening and was about to deposit u few more dollars in the rag bag lie found it empty ami his wife reported the sale of the rags, and showed the saucepan wit the expectation of having her shrewdness complimented. Mrs. Highley was horrified to learn that the bag contained SUOO, and her and her husband's watches. Mr. Highley started after the peddler and found him near Richmond. He professed to know nothing of the money and the watch and said that the rugs had been shipped to nn Eastern rag firm. Mr. Highley wired the firm. Wanted to Keep the Children. Henry O*borue, manager of the Nirkleodiun Theater at Indianapolis, was held under bonds for conspiracy to kidnap Arizona and Rosa Wilson, aged 7 and it years, of Danville, 111. The childrea came to Indianapolis some days ago, and, it is said, hare been spirited away by Mamie Quintette, an attache of the theater. Witnesses testified to conversations iietween Osborne mid the Quintette woman. mid Osborne's partner testified that he had said that he proposed to get possession of the girls and bring them up for his show. The parents of the hildren were in court during the preliminary trial. L< ndon's Meat Bill. The annual meat bill of London Is something wonderful. During the year 181)5 the butcher* of that city killed and sold the flesh of 400.000 cattle, 1.f100.000 shoe]), 500,000 calves, and 700.000 hogs, to say nothing of the horses and fowls. The Carlton Club. London, has about 4.000 members and is the richest in the world.

Hound* at Night. Rlr David Brewster Im* given nn excellent accoimt of a myateriou* night sound which would have frightened m<Mt penon*, but which proved Innocent and hannles* when tested by a steady ulwrver. A gentleman heard a strange sound every night soon alter getting into bed. His wife, who retired earlier than he, also heard the weired sound, but not until the husband had got Into bed. For a long time no ]*ossible cause, could lie as signed, and the effect U|X>n the imagination became rath r unpleasant. The husband discovered, some time afterward, that tiie noise canre from the door of a wardretie which stood near the head of the I ed. It was his his custom to opn and close this wardrobe when undressing, but, as the door was a Utile tight, he could not quite shut it. The door, probably affected by charges in the temperature forced itself o|«n with a dull sound .which was over in an instant. And so many years ago an odd ghoststory could be solved by a little attention to the sounds resulting from the sounds icMiliing li >m the ex pansion and contraction of wood-work, such as doors, window-frames, wainscoting and furniture. Heard at night when all is still, the sudden creaking of furniture in a room is often quite startling, until one conies to know that it is due to the weather.
