Its beneficial effects are duo to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating tbo organs on which it acts. It is therefore in order to get its bcnc- ficinl effects, to note when you purchase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable, druggists.

Newspaper Man Cp Against Two of Cleveland Ttaui. Cleveland, 0., Oct. E.

The three men 1 met in the cafe of the Kennard house.

The ball players had been drinking. Tebeau accused Pasco of having written a story about a quarrel between him p.nd McAleer. Pasco denied it and finally called Tebeau a liar. Tebeau knocked Pasco. down, and it is said, kicked him.

Then O'Connor jumped on Pasco and left the marks of one of his heels on his face. Pasco was unconscious when pulled away from thn infuriated ball players. He was delirious all night and will probably be laid up for some days. His face was beaten almost to a jelly. Pasco refuses to swear out warrants for the arrest of the ball players.
