The California Fig Syrup Co. was the first to manufacture a laxative remedy which would give satisfaction to all; & laxative which physiclans could sanction and one friend recommend to another ; so that today its sales probably exceed all other laxatives combined. In some places considerabls quantities of old-time catharties and modern imitations are still sold, but with the general diffasion of knowledge, as to the best medicinal agents, Syrup of Figs has come into general use with the well-informed, because it is a remedy of known value and ever beneficial action. The guality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellent combination of the laxative and carminative prineiples of plants, known to act most beneficially orginal method of manufacture. on the system, with agreeable and refreshing aromatic liquids, but also to the In order to get the genuine and its beneficial effects one should always mote the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every paekage, CITY MEMBERS ARE ALL NAMED Commercial Bodies Are Ready to Promote Immigration.

DANGEROUS SURGERY Should Be the Last Resort. Many people suffer from piles because after trying various lotions, salves and ointments without relief or cure they come to the conclusion that a surgical operation s the last resort, and rather than submit to the shock and risk to life of an operation prefer to suffer on; very often, however, the afflicted one is over- persuaded to resort to the knife, and even though the operation is apparently sue- cessful and thege is complete recovery from the shock incident thereto the result is invariably the same—the piles sooner or later return, because their cause has not been removed. This result is a logical one, inasmuch as the knife removes the effects of the disease only, while the cause remains as before. There is claimeq to be a remedy which does remove the cause, hence eradicating the disease, and that is the Pyramid Plle Cure. It is in the form of a suppository, is applied ai- rectly to the pa:(s affected and brings about a complete cure, quietly and pain- lessly. In this connection the testimony of Mr. John Cullen Bryant, the well- known bookseller of Haverhill, Maes., is of unusual interest. “I desire to contribute an unsolicited but purely voluntary testimonial in favor of Pyramid Pile Cure. I have suffered for more than twenty years with hemor- rhoids, and have consuited numerous phy- siclans and have expended a great deal of money for medicines that did me no £00d. I had often seen Pyramid Pile Cure advertised, but hesitated for months be- fore buying same, thinking it a patent or quack remedy that had no merit;’ but having tried every other remedy pre- scribed 1 was finally persuaded one year ago to try Pyramid Plle Cure. I bought a S0-cent package at the drugstore, and while I may not be permanently cured, the past year has been the only year of my life worth living during the past twenty years, al nothing but the Pyr- amid remedies have wrought this change. I offer this testimony for the benefit of suffering humanity.” the repre- | PAPERS FILED IN OIL GASES Pile Railway Officials Up Affidavits in Court. A batch of afdavits were filed yester- day in the United States Circuit Court on ehalf of the plaintiffs in the oll rate cases.. They are by officers of the three | compapies, the Atchison, Topeka and | Santa Fe, the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad Company and the Southern California | Ralflroad Company to restrain the Board | of Railroad Commissioners from enforc- |ing the proposed schedule of rates for | transporting petroleum within the limits { of the State of California. | | The affidavit of Edward Chambers, gen- | eral freight agent with the Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe, avers that that cor- poration does not now own and never has Fe Pacific nor of the Southern Califor- | nia Railway Company, and that it has | not operated and does not operate either | of those two lines. It is averred further | for the purpose of making one of the is- sues clearer that the crude petroleum produced at Bakersfleld weighs seven and three-quarter pounds to the galion, that there are forty-two gallons to the barrel and that there are 6.14 barrels to the ton. It is further deposed that the rates charged by the petitioning companies had ot been objected to by the Board of Rail- road Commissioners and had not been modified or changed by them in any way and that therefore those rates had re- ceived the tacit assent of the board. The next affidavit is by John W. White, auditor. Mr. White swears that the en- tire gross income of the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad Company for the year ended June 0, 1%01, was $1,927,3%630; the ex- | penditures, cost of operation, equipment, |etc., $140277713; fixed charges, rents, | taxes, etc., for the same period, $248,- | 367 77; met revenue $276,745 5. It is averred that ‘no separate account of the local | business has been kept and that no rafl- road company doing through interstate and local business ever keeps or attempts to keep the cost of doing local business separate from the cost of doing all the business. It is. averred further that the Raliroad Commissjoners have never re- Qquired such accounts to be kept. A. G. Wells, general manager of the Santa Fe Pacific_ Rallroad Company, swears that since July 1, 187, that com- pany and the Southern California Rail- way Company have been operated as sep- arate and distinct corporations, each of these forming part of the Atchison sys- tem and having the same general offi- cers. The accounts of the earnings and expenses of each are kept separate and distinct from each of the others. G. Holterhoff, treasurer and assistant secretary of the Banta Fe Pacific Ralil- road Compeany, deposed that that cor- ration Enys $218,133 per annum for the lease of the line of rallroad from the Col- orado River to Mojave, and is required to keep it in good condifion and to pay all the taxes and assessments. the line from Mojave to Kern Junction $80,000 per annum is paid as rental, plus half the cost of maintenance and half the taxes. Between Kern Junction and Bakersfield an annual rental is pald of $465932. The affidavit states the total product of erude petralgum from Whittler and Puente in s Angeles County and from Fullerton | in Orange County was 2,250,000 pounds for last year. The cases were set for hearing for | Thursday of this week at 10 a. m. In the Interstate commerce sugar rate cases ninety days further time was al- | lowed from March 21. Teamster Kicked by a Horse. Charles Link, a driver for the Enter- prise Brewery, was severely injured yes- terday by being kicked by a horse. Link took a pair of horses to the blacksmith's shop to have them shod, and as he was abcut to enter the shop he pulled on the lines to stop the speed of the animais when one of them kicked, striking Link on the forehead. The man was removed to the Emergency Hospital, where Dr. Armistead diagnosed his injuries to be a fracture of the skull and a deep lacerated wound of the forehead. The fractured rtion of the skull will be trephined by octors Bunnell and Armistead to-day, provided the condition of the patient will permit the operation. Palmist Mulmer Sentenced.

A Ruyssian author of distinction and an oil expert of international prominence in the person of Stephen Goolishambarrow is in the citv on a mission for the Rus- sian Government. Goolishambarrow is an attache of the Russian Finance Depart- ment and an officlal whose advice the Czar, in matters of industrial development of the empire, has not disdained to ac- cept on more than one occasion. In the field of political economy of Russia Gool- ishambarrow is a recognized authority, second to none in Europe. Goolishambarrow is gathering statistics relative to the oil industry of this country for his Government. Although this is his third visit to the United States he has never had an opportunity of inspecting the oil fields. He is accompanied by lis wife, who acts as his interpreter. When seen at a downtown hotel last night Gool- ishambarrow said: ““I have inspected many samples of Cali-. fornia oil since arriving in the State and find it of an excellent marketable quality. ‘The oll, however, contains too much as- phaltum to render its use as an {liuminant profitable. ~For fuel purposes it cannot pe excelled anywhere. The California oll fleld is an extensive one and the yield will be something enormous in the course of a few years if the flelds are properly de- ve}l‘gpeu. The prospects are excellent and 1 Mave no doubt the boring for ofl will in a short time be one of the great industries of your State.” Goolishambarrow sald further that he spent some days in the ol flelds in Texas and particularly at Beaumont. The great gushers there astonished him by their ac- tivity and he predicted that the flow of oil there would continue for years to come. He.will leave the city Thurgday for Pittsburg, in the vicinity of which lie the Pennsylvania oil flelds. After in- specting these he will depart for St. Petersburg, where he expects to arrive within four weeks. The distinguished expert wears the dec- oration of the Legion of Honor and pos- sesses several medals awarded in Euro- pean centers for his works on “The Uni- versal Industry,” numbering forty-three volumes, Chief among these is a gold medal presented to him by the Russian Geographical Soclety for writing this great work. He is the recipient of con- siderable attention by local business men, all of whom realfze that his visit cannot fall to be of profit to the coast because of the advertising that will follow the ublication of his report in his native and.

Owing to the closeness of the contestants their attorneys spent a mwuch longer time in scrutinizing the ballots. It was discovered during the day that in figuring up the total Mumber of votes lost by Coghlan a mistake had been made, which, when corrected, gave him two votes that were counted as lost.

To those who have not yet mastered the Mikado's language there may appear in’ the foregoing some sinister meaning—a possible extract from a contemplated treaty between the United States and Ja- pan. The authentic translation, Lowever, merely signifies that a beautiful Japanese picture exhibition is an attraction at the Bohemian Club, where many will surely flock to view the art of Japan. The jinksroom of the Bohemian Club ! has' been transformed into a bamboo- | trestled salon, with fruit blossoms and | hanging lanterns and dainty tea tables decked with flowery decorations—all from the design of Edgar Matthews, Wil- llam D.

The exhibition is strangeiy fascinatin; | because of the grotesque treatment ol subjects.

In the case of the dedth of Mrs. Amelia Timmerman, ~ who was accidentally ! asphyxiated in her room at 504 Taylor street, a Coroner's jury yesterday brought in a verdict of accidental death and added the following recommendation: In view of the fact that so many accidental deaths have occurred recently from the inhal- ation of {lluminating gas, We, the jury, recom- mend that the chemist of the Board of Health be requested to have an analysis made of the | gas at present being furnished customers of this city with the view of determining whether a less polsonous gas may not bs produced. Coroner Leland suggested that lodging- house keepers were sometimes responsi- ble for the accidental deaths from gas asphyxiation, owing to the habit of turn- Nng off the gas at the meter at 12 or 1 o'clock in the morning and turning it on again at 6 o'clock to enable thelr early risers to dress.
