THE IftOlAi lil MOuthN AJvfcrtTiS
ING. Along the line . of the Santa Fe
through Oklahoma, Indian Territory,
New Mexico and Arizona are found
many tribes of peaceful Indians, whose
strange costumes and unique mode
of life are very interesting to tourists.
The Pueblo Indians of New Mexico
and Arizona, including the roving Na
vajos, are perhaps the best known and
most frequently visited. The Moki
Snake Dances and the various feasts
of the Indians along the Itio Grande
river have a national reputation.
In fact, the Indian is now somewhat
of a fad, and of late years his blankets,
pottery, baskets and silver ornaments
have been eagerly sought after by col
lectors. Recognizing the advertising value of
the Indian, the Santa Fe has recently
placed in the windows of its offices at
Kansas City, Chicago. St, Louis, New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and At
lanta, some very fine collections of In
dian curios. It is also decorating
many of its offices with paintings of
Indian subjects. All this in the belief,
that announcements in newspapers
and magazines can be strengthened by
the pictorial art and by attractive
window dressing.
It is expected that by mid-winter
arrangements will be perfected for the
giving bf Navajo and Moki Indian
dances at a point on the Santa Fe line
In Arizona, the through trains being
stopped so that passengers may have
an opportunity to witness these dances.

,Talph Easley Has a Hand In The
Final Arrangement.
IT WAS A GRAVE SITUATION.
Boston, March 15. Through the
united efforts of representatives of the
great mercantile bodies of the city,
seconded by the chief executives of city
and state in conference with the recog
nized leaders of organized labor, the
great strike of freight handlers and
kindred trades represented in the
Allied Freight Transportation Council
was broken. Fully 20,000 men, who
had been idle for four days, are at
work.
This result was attained at con
ference at the office of Governor Crane.
The decision was at once reported to
the Allied Freight Transportation
council at a special meeting and unani
mously indorsed.
All of the old men for whom places
can be fonnd will be taken back by the
railroads, but, owing to the suddenness
with which the strike was ended and
the large number of new men who have
been installed, it is likely that many
of the old employes will find no vacan
cies ready for them. Eventually, it is
believed, they all will regain their old
positions.
Teamsters and longshoremen will
find an unprecedented demand for
their services, and traffic of all descrip
tions, which has been virtually at a
standstill for three or four days, will
be resumed with a rush.
The day was filled with conferences
between representatives of the various
labor unions, and the city's business
interests, in which Governor Crane,
Mayor Collins, Secretary Easley, of the
National Civic Federation, and the
state board of arbitration took impor
tant parts. Everyone was fully im
pressed with the gravity of the situa
tion and felt the absolute necessity of
an immediate settlement.
Striker. Dynamite Cars.
Leavenworth, Kan., March 17. Two
cars of the Kausas City-Leavenworth
electric line were dynamited here. One
woman was injured. The first explo
sion was on the line running to Fort
Leavenworth. The car was damaged
beyond repair, one of the wheels being
torn off and the motor ruined. A 60
pound rail was split in two. A second
explosion occurred later on the Fifth
Avenue line. No damage was done be
yond the breaking of windows. The
company has offered a reward of $250
for information leading to the arrest
of the guilty parties. A strike has
been on in Leavenworth for some
weeks, and the dynamiting of the cars
is a result.
Cnttle Coming; So Graze.
Fort Worth, Tex., March 17. At the
conclusion of the Texas Cattle Raisers'
Association it transpired that the
greater part of the trading done was
for cattle above the quarantine lines,
which brought good prices, 2-year-olds
selling at S'-'2.50 to S24 per head. The
indications are that there will be sent
to Indian Territory and Oklahoma for
grazing in the neighborhood of 125,000
head of cattle.
U. S Consul Taxed.
Paris, March 17. A dispatch to the
Patrie from Lyons says-there is much
comment there over a conflict between
the municipality and the United States
consul on account of an attempt to
impose certain new taxes on that ofli
cial. The latter claims to be exempt
by the convention of February 2, 1853,
and refuses to pay. The municipality
threatens to seize the consul's furni
ture. Nicaragua Route Cbosea.
Washington, March 14. The senate

bers of the committee were absent, but

their votes were counted. The vote

Berlin, March 11. The Prince's dem
ocratic ways are looked upon with won
der by a society which regards the
person of a Hohenzollern as something
sacred. It can not be understood here
how the Prince could shake hands in
discriminately. The incident of the
Governor of Minnesota tapping Prince
Henry on the shoulder and speaking
familiarly to him is related with abso
lute, amazement. Yet there is no crit
icism of American manners, they be
ing proper under a republic.
Field Marshal Wolseley Goes to Front.
London, March 17. Field Marshal
Lord Wolseley starts for Cape Town.
Two brothers of Cecil Rhodes,
who is dying, and Lady Methuen wi 1
be passengers on the steamer which
will take Lord Wolseley to Cape Town.
The newspapers are puzzled to account
for the release of General Methuen, but
they generally give credit to Delarey
for acting with courtesy and tact.
The Daily Mail expects to see either
General Crpnje or General Viljoen re
turned to the Boers in' exchange.
Colorado OH Excitement.
Denver, Col., March 13. Excitement
over the discoveries of oil in the vicin
ity of Boulder remains at fever heat.
Besides the two wells already pro
ducing petroleum of a very fine quality
two other wells are expected to come

is of the highest test. ) The owners
were assured by an oil expert from the
Pennsylvania oil regions that there
w s not the least doubt but that the
Boulder field contained the righest oil
basin ever found.

THE LIVER.
Every drop of the blood that flows
through our veins passes through tbe
liyer in its formation. Any habit or
work that tends to check the circula
tion of the blood in its passage through
the liver materially affects the health.
The first symptoms of a disordered liv
er are flushed cheeks and a darkening
of the complexion: other symptoms are
dizziness, bad breath, coated tongue,

One mav sail the seas and
that men of affairs, who are well Informed, have neither the time
nor tha Inclination, whether on pleasure bent or business, to use those
medicines which cause excessive purgation and then leave the internal
organs in a constipated eonditiou. Byrnp of Figs is not built on those
lines. It acts naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthen
the internal organs and leaves them in a healthy condition.
If In need of a laxative remedy the most excellent is Syrup of Figs, but
when anvthine more than a laxative is required the safe and scientific plan
is to consult a competent physician and not to resort to those medicines
which claim to cure all manner of diseases.
The California Fig Syrnp Co. was the first to manufacture a laxative remedy
which would give satisfaction to all ; a laxative which physicians could
sanction and one friend recommend to another ; so that today its sales probably
exceed all other laxatives combined. In some places considerable quantities of
old-time cathartics and modern imitations are still sold, bat with the general
diffusion of knowledge, as to the be;t nwllr Innl agents, Syrup of Fles has come
into general use with the well-infonm tl, owause it is a remedy of known value
and ever beneficial action.
The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellent combination of
the laxative and carminative principles of plants, known to act most beneficially
on the system, with agreeable and refreshing aromatic liquids, but also to the
orginal method of manufacture. In order to get the genuine and its beneficial
effects one should always note the full name of the Company-California Fig
Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package.
