An Excellent Combination; The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy. Syrup op Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid lszv tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It Is the one perfect strengthening laxative, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation permanently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and substance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the idem laxative. In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but tbe medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.

MOVE UPON MALOLOS.

AMERICAN TROOPS CLOSE IN ON AQUINALDO. Hot Engagement Extends Over Three Darn - A merican Lo» About 40 Killed mod 200 Wounded—Many Natives Die. —Filipino* Retreat to Their Capital. • The fighting around Manila was resumed Sunday at different points, the outcome of the day's operations being lurther victory for the American arms and the continued retreat of the rebels, though the enemy was strongly intrenched and the natural obstacles to our advance were almost insuperable. The Filipinos were forced back at every point, but owing to the destruction of bridges and the roughuess of the country the Americans were unable to follow up their advantage as promptly as could have been wished. Many of our soldiers suffered severely from the intense beat and there were several prostrations, but neither heat, a strongly intrenched enemy, tangled bamboo thickets, nor brass bullets intimidated our gallant fellows, who drove the Filipinos before them wherever they found them. Gen. MacArthur and Gen. Wheaton at the head of their brigades carried off the honors of the day. The former, with three brigades, assisted by the army gun-

boats, drove the enemy out of. their trenches around Polo, although they held strong positions and the advance upon them was over a rough country. The rebels could not withstand the impetuous onset of our men and were driven back like sheep, after firing a single volley. Gen. Wheaton’s brigade, after a sharp engagement, took Malinta, but could not follow up this advantage at once, owing to the destruction of a bridge by the rebels and i the impossibility of fording the river. An j incident of Gen. Wheaton’s advance was the evacuation of tbe city of Malabon and its burning by the rebels, which Gen. Wheaton was unable to prevent owing to the natural obstacles in his front. It is a grateful feature of the day's operations that onr casualties were light, so far as tbe number of killed is concerned. Among these was Gol. Egbert of the Twenty-second Infantry, one of the most gallant officers in the army, who was shot in the thickest of the fighting, the place where he was most likely to be found. He had proved his gallantry in the civil war and he was wounded at San Juan. He | died shortly after receiving the praises of Gen. Wheaton for his splendid courage and fine work. In his death the army has lost one of its best soldiers. The total ■, number of Americans killed in tbe en- j gagement of Saturday, Sunday and Mon- ; day is 40 and the wounded 200. Severe fighting continued Monday and our casualties were about forty. The in- > surgents destroyed bridges, which imped- ' ed progress of train and artillery. Our troops met the concentrated insurgent j forces on northern line, commanded by Aguinaldo in person, and drove them with considerable slaughter. They left nearly 100 dead on field, and many prisoners and small arms were captured. The army has forced its wny through an i almost impassable country, while sailering from the intense heat and having to epgage an enemy who will not fight in the open, bat retreats from one internchmeut to another behind which they are concealed while our gallant troops are exposed to their volley firing. Our troops are gradually closing around them. Opinions differ in Washington as to what the effect upon the insurgents will be in tbe event the American troops soon capture Malolos, the headquarters of Aguinaldo, and drive the insurgents to the jungles. By some, it is thought that would practically end the war, but ethers hold that as long as the Filipinos can procure supplies they are apt to keep up a guerrilla warfare, and that it may be many months before they lay do\vn their arms and ask for terms. The conflict has gone bo far that the authorities are determined that the campaign mast be waged fiercely. SPANISH AID TUB REBELS. Prisoners Released ou Condition that They Take Up Anna. The suspicion which had for some time been entertained by War Department officials in Washington—namely, that Aguinaldo had released the Spanish prisoners of war ou condition that they take up arms against the Americana—was confirmed by the message from Geß. Otis, which was received Sunday. The Spaniards who remained ia the power of the insurgents have made common cause with them, and Gen. Gorbin was ready to admit that this had been his belief for some time. The Spaniards are good fighters, and it id their influence which is responsible for the recent resistance to the American advances. With' out their help and leadership the Filipinoshad given no indication of military knowlor heroic conduct. They ran like Moef» under the first fire. Now they stand and fight to the death. Gen. Gorbin says the best estimate of Agninaldo’a strength is 30,000. Admiral Dewey recently said to a newspa|R*r correspondent: “I am beginning to think I may never see our owiLrfieantry again; the campaign is now assuming such an aspect that I cannot think of going home. I am grateful to my country for gratifying my highest ambition. All I now ask ia that the people stop writing to mfc.” J.

A SENSIBLE LETTER.

A Western Canadian Pettier Wrltee to an Illinois Friend. In writing to Mr. T. Hawkyard, of Rockford, 111., Mr. G. Simpkins, of Leduc, Alberta, Western Canada (and to which points especially low rates are being quoted over all lines of railway), ■ays: “Dear Sir—Received your letter the 14th inst We have bad no snow till after Christmas, and the cattle have been able to live out, and are all in good condition. It is snowing now. That Is what we want Have about six inches now. The old settlers say when we have lots of snow it means a good crop the coming season. It never drifts here. The leather is calm and bright. •We do not have to dress any heavier than in Illinois, and the horses never shiver with the cold when we take them from the warm stable, as they .do in Illinois. It has not frozen in the .stable this winter. ; “The most of the stock runs out, but there Is no need of It, for timber is and there la no expense to build good stables and houses. We have good log houses, and they are very warm. Two men can put up a house 16x24 In two days. There are good rails for fences. We live ten miles from the coal district, the price being from 50 cents up to $2. The land is a very rich, loamy soil, from six inches to several feet in depth; the bills have the deepest. It is a rolling country, and excellent for stock of all kinds. Sheep do well, and there are plenty of small lakes, where the cattle can get good water. The cattle got out of grass last year, about the middle of April, and run at large; unless In charge of a herdsmen, we have to fence against them. Wheat goes from thirtyfive to sixty bushels per acre, oats eighty and ninety, very often over a hundred. As to potatoes, a neighbor planted seven bushels and dug 22 i bushels and no bugs. Roots of all kinds do well. There are lots'of strawberries and lots of red raspberries, black and red currants, and gooseberries, where the fire has not burnt them. Cattle are scarce. I have been trying to buy some for eight months, and have got only three two-year-olds, and paid S3O each. “Hogs are scarce, but can be got. They sell for 6 cents dressed, and cost more for Stockers. Wheat 50 cents per bushel, oats 25 cents, eggs 30 cents a dozen, butter 15 and 20 cents, poultry was 10 and 11 cents dressed. Sheep are scarce. If you come, bring your farm tools, but bring no seeders; we use drills. Bring cows, but do not bring horses unless you are an experienced hand in shipping them, for so many of them are hurt In shaping. There will be plenty of work for a binder. Two good horses will break, but three lighter are better. The horses yon get here can work without grain, but are better with it It will be hard to tell what prices horses will be, for the Immigration will be very large the coming spring. They could not be had last spring at one time. They claim the best time to break is June, but my experience Is to break in the spring and work It. You can break till the middle of July."

Length of the Ideal Foot.

A London anatomist Is authority for the statement that the ideal foot should be the length of the ulna, a bone In tbe forearm, which extends from a protuberance in tbe outer portion of the wrist to the elbow. Of course, the ulna Is longer In tall people, and to be graceful the foot should be also. Many people may be surprised that tbe foot should be as long as the forearm, and might be inclined to dispute the fact unless proved by demonstration. But so It Is In the perfectly formed women.

What Do the Children Drink?

Don t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GItAIN-O? It ia delicious and nourishing, and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-0 yon give the children the more health yon distribute through their system a Grain-O is made pf pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee, but costs as much. All grocers sell it 15c. Statistics show that In London one* person In forty-five Is maintained by pnblic charity, while In New York tbe proportion Is one in 200. Coughing Leads to Consumption.

Sweet Briars.

It is within the last ten or fifteen years that young men have taken to pipe smoking, and they have made the briar the proper thing in pipes. Ten yea rs ago briar pipes were only made in France'and Germany, but when our own manufacturers turned their attention to pipes, the result was •Improved machinery for turning them out and a big reduction In the price. The best briar wood comes from France. This wood comes in rough blocks, and In bags, which hold from 200 to 300 blocks each. The blocks are roughly shaped, and they are first put ing frazing machine, which shapes the bowl. Then they go through another machine which hollows out the bowl and reduces the stem. It is sandpapered and oumice-stoned down to its proper size, The stem is drilled and the pipe is ready for smokiug.

TWO REMARKABLE CURES

Of Two Prominent end Well-Known People. A Catarrh Coro that Caret. Bome Seasonable Spring Sayings. Springtime has come at last, and now ts the time for all catarrh sufferers to begin a systematic course of treatment for this disease. The greatest difficulty lu the way of treating chronic catarrh is that the patient is so liable to catch cold during the treatment and thus delay the cure. This liability at this seasou of the year is, in a great measure, removed, and no one should neglect the opportunity to begin treatment Miss Dade Stcgeman, superintendent of the Chicago North Side Woman’s Club, of Chicago, In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, speaks of Pe-ru-na as follows:

GENERAL S. S. YODER.

Notwithstanding that a great number of people have been cured of chronic catarrh by taking Pe-ru-na during tht past cold season, yet it cannot be denied that the cold, wet, stormy winter lias retarded many cures, and in some cases actually prevented a cure.
