After luncheon a start was made for new grounds, and about this time a pleas- | ant breeze sprang up, and all conditions were more-favorable. The first brace in the second series were Kenwood Rose and Rod’s Lark. They went down at 1:30, and the work of each was an improvement over that of the forenoon. The first point was made by Rod’s Lark on birds scat- tered by the spectators. This was followed by a point by Rose.

Special Dispatch to Tne Call RENO, Nev., Jan. 13.—Indignation still runs high in this city over the shooting of Constable R. C.

The news spread about” town and immediately steps were taken to organize a mob to take the negro from the County Jail and lynch him. The officers were alert, however, and tele- phoned to Carson for a special train to take the negro to Carson for safety. At 8 o’clock in the evening a conveyance left the jail with the negro, Sheriff McInnis ard and was driven with all haste to the southern outskirts of the town, where the train was in readiness.

WILL REDUCE ~ WAR REVENUE Leaders of the House to Decide on Plan in Caucus. Toiit @ Special Dispatch to The Call, i = CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—It has been decided by the leaders of the House that a material reduction in the war revenue, | if not an absolute repeal, can be made. A Republican caucus on thig matter will be held within two weeks, according to the present programme. Chairman Payne of the Ways and Means Committee came to ‘Washington at the beginning of the ses- sion with the intention of using his influ- ence to reduce the war revenue, but what he could do in the matter he was then un- able to say. To-day, however, he ex- pressed a firm belief that a majority of the House would be in favor of a substan-. | tial reduction. Representatives Cannon and MeCall also expressed views that such a reduction could be made without any injury to the G?r\;lern‘x{lyent, e & 7 e Ways and Means_ Co: take up this question after the Cuban fight gets before the House, and it is said to-day that a very large majority of that committee is now in favor of taking off | the war taxes. - How much reduction in the internal rev- enue tax on beer and whisky would be sl lowed no one was able to predict, but it is generally agreed that the stamp tax on collateral put up as security for loans, which the Attorney General has decided mu?tdbe paid under the law, will be re- pealed.

Thc Distinctive Value of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural funcfions. The requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them. T'o assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con- dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid, or the robust man. s Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative printiples of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptablé to the system, when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note " the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.
