Urn Htfcm THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not 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 Svrup 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 California Fig Svrup Co.

only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in ttyoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other parties. The high standing of the California Fig Syrup 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. kidney's, liver and bowels without irritating or weakening them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate.

Packed exclusively by THOMSON TAYLOR SPICE CHICAGO, ILL. A letter, of little significance so far as Us mere contents are concerned, but which seemed rathor significant In view of Its authorship was recently received by a prominent Baptist of Iowa. The recipient of the letter Is a man of standing In church circles who has at various times manifested quite an interest In the affairs of Des Moines college. The letter was written by Dr.

William Harper, president of Chicago university, and this fact, seeming to Indicate that the missive was somewhat "inspired," renders It of special Interest at this particular time. The letter was brief, but very much to the point. In short, Dr. Harper simply wanted to know what the recipient of the letter would think of a combination by Des Moines college and the First Baptist church on Dr. W.

Anderson, now of Kochester, N. Y. Dr. Harper evidently contemplates by his language a possibility of Dr. Anderson's assuming the double duty of president of Des Moines college and pastor of the First Baptist church.

It will be remembered that several weeks ago the trustees of the college extended to Dr. Anderson a call to the presidency, now vacant. The matter was kept very quiet for a time and nothing is known publicly yet as to whether Dr. Anderson has made any response. The college has a representative "sounding" him.

At the time the call was extended Dr. Anderson waa taking a vacation In Canada. He was expected to return about September 1. In referring to the call given Dr. Anderson, ona of the trustees stated tha't the board had him In mind, but really entertained little hope that his services could be procured.

It is well known to those in close touch with the American Educational society, the organization which assumes a sort of guardianship over the weaker colleges of the Baptist denomination, that once a man Is named for the presidency who meets its approval, the society will advance from to $1,500 annually on his salary. Dr. Anderson is pastor of the Second Baptist church of Rochester, one of the two or three largest churches of the denomination in the United States. His salary lit said to approach the $5,000 mark; his family connections are strong along educational lines, bia father having formerly been president of Chicago university, and although yet quite a young man he Is regarded as one of the Baptist denomination's brightest lights. For this reason it seemed to many that he would be inclined to give little consideration to a call trom an Institution which, though doing work of a hiah grade, waa financially In a very embarrassed condition.

In this connection Dr. Harper's letter seems peculiarly significant. He adds 0 '0 Di 0 a Otrrlfkl. 1IH. PmW StakU (V OliwimH In this city met last night to form plans for a military funeral.

Mayor Frank G. Pierce this afternoon addressed the following call to the city officials of Iowa To All City Officials of Iowa: The representatives of the rive cities of Iowa that were represented at the secoad annual convention of the league American Municipalities, held at Detroit, during the first days of AuguHt, were all the opinion that It would be of great benefit to their cities and to all other cities in the state, if a state association of municipal officials was formed lit Iowa, There ure many reasons why c.ueh an association would be of great benefit.

Such an association could look after legislation that is of mutual interest to fov.a municipalities, and the cities and towns through such an organization, could obtain much needed legislation. The interchange of Ideas and experience would be of great assistance to all. Practical questions of Interest to every municipality in Iowa could be discussed and the cities receive the benefit of sucn discussion. In view of these facts It was deemed advisable to call a meeting this fall for the formation of a state association, and Marshalltown on account of owning its water works and electric lighting plant, was selected as the place of meeting. The city council of Marshalltown, nt the first meeting after the national convention, passed the following "Whereas, It has demonstrated by the second annual conventljn of the League of American held In Detroit, that the Interests of Iowa ci.

ties will be promoted by having a state meeting; therefore, be it "Resolved, by the city council of the city of Marshalltown, that the mayor of our city be requested to call a meeting of the. city officials of Iowa, with a vlev to further promote good government in the municipalities of Iowa. The time of meeting to be arranged by the mayor." Pursuant to this resolution the dates October 12 and 13 were selected for the meeting. A cordial Invitation is extended to every city and town in Iowa to send delegates to this meeting. Every municipality is asked to send as many delegates as they desire.

And we tru1! that every municipality In the slate will be represented. We the undersigned representatives of our respective cities at the national meeting of the League of American Municipalities unite in this call for a state meeting and call on all municipalities in Iowa to send delegates.

This statement Is erroneous In every sonse of the word. There Is not a man anions the fifty odd boys from Iowa who would not Kive a year of his life to return to his homo. While there is no serious Illness among the boys, not one of them can say that tils health is what it was when ha enlisted.

With the combined salaries of pastorate and presidency and the assistance of th society, Dr. Anderson would hardly have reason on material grounds to regret the acceptance of such a position. The effect of such an arrangement could hardly be oilier than beneficial.

It would Immediately command for the college consideration from the national society which it cannot now receive. Should Dr. Anderson prove fully competent for the combined duties It would attract not only students from all over Iowa, but his occupation of the First Baptist pulpit would give that denomination much greater prominence In this city than It has ever befora enjoyed and thus enablu the college to recruit Its ranks of students from Des Moines young people to a greater extent than ever before. There is, furthermore, good reason why such an arrangement as suggested nilRht be very acceptable, at this particular time. Those familiar with the college's affairs feel that this now is its golden hour of opportunity If the right man can be obtained as resident.

The long-protracted bickering etween Des Moines college and Central university of Bella has been adjusted, the local institution having been otliclally recognized as the central school of tha denomination In Iowa. The aim from now on Is to Increase the endowment of Central university and the other preparatory sehools of the denomination, and thus make a rich field for recruits. With harmony In their ranks the Baptists of Iowa can now entertain hopes of material success, which was an impossibility under the former regime. Nothing could Inspire greater confidence, It Is believed, than the presence of a man such as Dr. Anderson in the executive chair.

The trustees of the college will hold a meeting at an early date when it Is hoped that ull arrangements will be concluded for the opening of the college, Septem ber 27. Dun Cupid, b. h. (McCarthy) t'Hptain Jack, blk. g.

Horror of the Hospitals. An before stated the men are slowly being run down by poor rations, very poorly cooked, and It is only a question of a few weeks until all will be sick. And then no army hospital can bring back their once robust health. Here Is an extract from the Chattanooga Times that will give the people of Iowa un Idea of why a soldier refuses to go to a hospital until be Is carried there.

The soldier In question was formerly a private in the Ninth New York Volunteers. He was in the hospital Just five days. The following extract tells why he was not there longer: "Nunns had been sick only five days. He died last Saturday, and the corpse was given no attention until Monday. No ice was used; an autopsy had been held, the man being split open and the flaps of his stomach and bowels laid back.

The body was lying on. a cot entirely naked, and was covered with Insects, horribly flyblown, and maggots were crawling over the body and out of the eyes and ears. "The doctors, on being asked why they had not notilied the man's family, said they had left that for his captain In the ambulance corps to attend to. "Then the captain and doctors hnd a wrangle as to which was to blame. "Being asked why the body was not dressed, the doctors said the man had no clothes.

'JDId he come here asked Captain O'Connor. 'No; but he had no "When they heard that the attention of Governor Black of New York would be called to the matter when he arrived here, a suit of clothes was Instantly found, the body was sponged off and fixed for the undertaker's care. "The remains of this dead soldier lay right against a tent full of sick men. The effluvia from the body, on Monday, was something fearful." This is only one of a hundred cases that occur each day In the army hospitals. Another Instance Is that of a surgeon giving a man who was dying of typhoid fever a plate of "hard tack." This soldier never finished his dinner.

The Chattanooga Times also printed the following: Terrible Arraignment. "The wretched condition of the volunteer hospitals Is receiving much attention from the medical fraternity. K. M. Wiley, superintendent of the Eastern Kentucky Lunatic asylum, who has made a careful Investigation into the hospital system at Chickamauga, says: 'The volunteer hospital system is a disgrace to civilization.

The men are said to die from disease. I say they are being murdered by this wretched system.
