THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due net 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 Sybup 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 Caxifohnia Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other parties. The high standing of the California Fig Sykup Co. with the medical 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 irritatßig or weakening them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate.

CHOPS LAID WASTE.

DEVASTATING STORMS SWEEP FIELDS OF GRAIN. Loa* Throughout the Northwest Will Reach the Mrtliona-Growing Grain Beaten Into the Earth by Torrents of Hail and Heavy Winds. Reports received from nearly all of the grain-growing States in the western Mississippi valley indicate that immeasurable and widespread damage to crops has been done by hail and wind. The States that have suffered the most are Minnesota, South Dakota, lowa and Nebraska. In lowa Monday night a terrific storm of drenching rain, accompanied by a furious and devastating wind, mowed down the grain, and where the damage did not amount to a total loss it left the fields in such condition that the farmers in many sections have practically given up hope of saving half of the crop they planned on. The stornqiook on frigidity and the accompanying element of disaster as it spread over Minnesota and South Dakota. The rain was turned to sharpedged hail in many places and to sleet thut cut the grain with almost as evil results in others. No accurate figures on the total damage can be made, but it is conservative enough to say that fully half a million acres of richly fruited crops have been leveled by the storm. Not only one cereal, but all of the various kinds that are particularly easy prey to wind and hail met injury. Corn was crushed or torn up altogether; unharvested wheat was flattened, and wide strips of country cut down as if by a mighty, all-powerful clipper of an angry god. Dispatches indicate thut the storm was central in lowa, where it seemed to gather and to leap along on its northerly and westerly course. Not only damage to crops is reported, but many farmers have the added loss of barns and sheds that were overturned or unroofed by the furious gusts of wind. Northwestern lowa was among the first sections visited by the gale. Plymouth and O'Brien counties tell. of. the most serious loss there. Hail fell in pelting showers and the only comfort the farmers got from the storm was the subsequent rain, which fell in torrents, over one and one-half inches of water being precipitated in Sioux City. From Marshalltown, lowa, is wired in a story of exceptional damage. Thousands of dollars’ damage was done to crops by the wind. Corn was injured here as much as grain, and many farm buildings were also blown down and windmills

wrecked, the whole ibss being beyond estimate. Corn and uncut grain in Nebraska were knocked flat- by the wind an* then drenched ,and. thrown into so<ld.v heaps by a heavy rain. A number of buildings were also demolished. These reports are duplicated in a thousand others from all paits of the States which fell under the aim of the storm. Farmers generally were anxious for a little rain, but most of all they dreaded wind and hail. Coming at this season of the year, which is higli tide in harvesting, the damage is necessarily much greater than it would have been had the storm been timed differently and of a different nature. The storm was very severe over the northern part of Nebraska.

COURT AWARDS MILLIONS.

Old Patents Held by a Tooth Crown Company Are Valid. A decision rendered by Judge Townsend in the United States Circuit Court at New York is estimated to affect claims amounting to $10,000,000. The decision is in favor of the International Tooth Crown Company and sustains the validity of 1881 patents held on the system of applying tooth crowns. Although the patents expired during the litigation, the decision confirms the right of the complainant company to collect royalties on all infringements covering the whole existence of the patents.

ON ASTOR'S NATURALIZATION.

London Paper on Hla Becoming a Brit* iah Subject. The announcement that William Waldorf Astor has become a British subject la commented on by the London Chronicle in ironical fashion. The paper says; “We fear that New York will fiercely resent its loss. And just as we were hoping that the last obstacle to an AngloSaxon understanding was removed, here come* a new one.”

THE RICH MAN’S BURDEN.

Some Chicago Millionaires Hard Hit by the Tax Gatherer. The Cook County board of review has been inquiring after the heretofore undertaxed fortunes of some of Chicago’s

MARSHALL FIELD.

ors in cases where schedules were not filed. They proceeded to demonstrate that the assessors who had turned in sworn statements were equally deficient as guessers, and raises ranging all the way from 10 to 3.01 h* per cent tell the story in convincing figures. In point of aggregate of increase the hardest blow was dealt to Marshall Field, who must pay persomti property taxes on a full value of $2,500,000, instead of the $1,250,000 at which the assessors had rated him. This means that the dry goods merchant's assessed valuation for 1890 is $500,000, as against $21,000 last year. After landing on Mr. Field, the reviewers developed reserve power by jumping

the return of Otto Young of Otto Ydung & Co. from $15,000 to $500,(XX). This constituted the greatest percentage of increase, though it was nearly equaled in the case of Harlow N. Higinbothum of Marshall Field & Co., whose sworn schedule of $24,-

485 read $500,000 when the “O. K.” stamp of the review board decorated its face. Mr. Young’s new assessed valuation is SIOO,OOO. It was $1,500 in 1898. Mr. Higinbotham's for 1899 amounts to SIOO,OOO also. When he paid taxes a year ago it was on the basis of $2,000. Philip I). Armour was not so heavily punished as his fellow-millionaires. The reviewers only added $450,000 to the assessors’ estimate,of S3OO,<XX) in his case, explaining afterward that they regarded $750,000 a fair valuation of the packerphilanthropist’s personal wealth, on the ground that the great bulk of his moneyed capital is invested in the firm of Ar* incur & Co. and its various allied interests. Nevertheless, Mr. Armour will

come to the support of Cook County on an assessable basis of $150,000 for $4,000 when he last contributed.

WITH TATTERED

Nebraskaaud Utah Volunteers Parade in 8»u Francisco. Two hundred thousand persons is a conservative estimate of the crowd which gathered along Market street, Golden Gate and Van Ness avenues, San Francisco, and gave the Nebraska volunteers a welcome home which the men will remember as long as they live. The sight of their once spotless silk flag, which was presented to them by the people of Nebraska, coming home with only the blue field and a few tattered ribbons of stripes left, set the people along the line of march wild with enthusiasm. Another feature that made the thousands mingle tears and cheers was eight ambulances filled with the sick and wounded at the end of the procession. Many of the sick were consumptive, going home to die, and all bore the stamp of hardship and suffering. The spectators showered the poor fellows with flowers and cheered them from the time they left the dock until they turned into the Presidio military reservation. The volunteers and the Utah light artillery were in heavy marching order. The parade was led by a detachment of police and the Nebraska band, with a detachment of regulars. They looked like seasoned veterans. All of the business houses along lower Market street suspended business for half an hour while the regiment passed in review. The gun stores vied with one another in an endeavor to make the most noise, and the factories blew their whistles, while the steam craft in the bay responded with loud toots to the shrill sounds from the shore. Thomas Dempster, 13, and Joseph Foster, 12, ?«ew York, were killed in New York, by falling from roofs while flying kites.* •

PHILIP D. ARMOUR.

CRIMINALS AMONG WOLVES.

Great Canning; ManifeeAd by These Animals in California. IL’ Seton Thompson, naturalist to the Government of Manitoba, hath under the title, “Wild Animals I Have Known,” given a series of observations on the cunning of beasts. That quality is In general the device of the weak, but the helplessness which it indicates may be of different grades. There is the cunning of wolves, which use their wits to rob man of his flocks and cattle, that of the domesticated creatures, which sometimes delight in criminal acts, and the cunning belonging to selfpreservation among those animals on which others prey. Mr. Thompson claims for certain animals, says the Scientific American, a Share of the deference paid to depraved greatness. For example, there was the wolf urtiich, in the fourteenth century, terrorized all Paris for ten years; a lame grizzly bear which, in two years, ruined all the hog-raisers and drove half the farmers out of business, in the Sacramento Valley, and a certain wolf in New Mexico, which was reported to have killed a cow every day for five years. This wolf grew to be so well known that an Increasing price was set upon his scalp, until the sum reached a thousand dollars. Ordinary means of hunting or trapping failed completely. The wolf and his mate brought up their cubs among some rocky precipices, within a thousand yards of the farm, and killed cattle daily. At this period Mr. Thompson made the acquaintance of the vandal, and tried to kill him by scientific methods. He melted cheese mixed with fat of a heifer in a china dish, cut it Into lumps with a bone knife, to avoid the taint of metal, and concealed in the lumps strychnine and cyanide, in odor-proof capsules. Ln doing this he wore gloves steeped in cow’s blood, and even avoided breathing on the bait. One of these lumps, placed In a tempting position, disappeared. Mr. Thompson followed the track to the next lump, and the next, and noticed that those also were gone. At the fourth he found that the wolf had laid all four together and scattered dirt over them. The wolves now took to stampeding and killing sheep. Half a dozen goats are usually kept with each flock, as leaders, and they are not easily stampeded at night: so when wolves are about the slieep crowd about these leaders and remain there while the shepherds drive the wolves away. The object of the wolves is to stampede the sheep, and then pick them up, day by day, afterward. One night they ran over the backs of the huddled flock, and killed all the goats fn a few minutes. The sheep were then available for prey. Traps to the number of a hundred and thirty were set in different parts of the big ranch. The trail of the pack was followed, and it became apparent that the leader, warned by the scent, stopped all the rest, and advanced alone to the trap. He scratched until he laid bare a dozen buried chains and pickets. Then he entered an H-shaped series of traps, realized his danger, and slowly backed out, putting down each paw backward until he was off the dangerous ground. Afterward he sprung as many traps as possible, by scratching clods and stones at them with his hind feet.

A Telltale Trail.

The great detective paused. “The horseless carriage containing the murderers passed here just twenty minutes ago," be said. The other man looked astonished. “But I see no wheel tracks,” he cried. “No,” said the great detective, calmly, “but if you'll sniff a little you'll get the odor of the kerosene."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Little Matter Among Friende.

Two boys were in fighting attitude like bantams; another and a smaller one stood watching them, wiping his eyes, sobbing the while. “What did you hit him for?” said one. “ ’Tain’t none of your business.” “Yes, it Is; he’s my friend.” “Well, he's my friend, too.”—New York Commercial Advertiser.

Big Prices for Animals.

The biggest price ever given for a horse was $150,000, when Ormende, once the property of the Duke of Westminster, was bought for that sum by a California millionaire. Tbe famous winner of tbe Derby, St Leger, and the Two Thousand Guineas, In one year was recently sold for slos,ooo—Galtee More. The most valuable collie dog known Is owned by Mr. Megson, of Manchester, who gave $6,500 for him. He is the finest dog of his kind that has ever been reared, and has taken*fortyelght prizes at various shows. Perhaps the most expensive fowl ever heard of is a gamecock named Peter Jackson, "belonging to a gentleman in Plymouth. This bird has been known to fight under a bet of $200,000 to a pinch of snuff. Needless to say he won It. His owner has refused $2,500 for him.—Tld-Blts.

Rich-—Yet Starvine.

Doctors frequently have very wealthy patients who are starving. They have money to buy food, but their stomach has not the strength to digest it. It lies there a heavy fermented mass, the sole cause of dyspepsia, nervousness and biliousness. The surest remedy to cure a weak stomach is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.

Artesian Wells In Sahara.

Artesian wells have been opened recently by the French in the Algerian Sahara with remarkable success. Several tribes have already settled down around these welhs, constructed villages, planted date palms and entirely renounced their previous wandering existence.
