THE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP 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 Fie Syrup
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 Fio Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par-
ties. The high standing of the Cali-
fornia Fio Syrup Co. with the medi-
cal 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 ia
far ia advance of all other laxatives,
as H ada on the kidneys, liver and
bowrela without irritating or weaken-
ing then, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effect*, please remember the name of
the Company—

Chicago, i* guilty
havlug taken the
life of Frits Holi-
hueter, the convict-
ed man will have
passed as many
days In Jail as most
men pass In the
penitentiary under sentence for fel-
ony. ilolchueter was killed on Jan,
30, 1695. Marzen was arrested a few
weeks afterward and haa never been
outBlde of the Cook county Jail since.
He has long ago exceeded all previous
records for continuous confinement In
the county prison, as nearly four years
have passed away since he entered it
as a prisoner charged with a capital
crime.
Marzen's case has few parallels In
criminal annals. The length of the
term during which he has been a ten-
ant of the county Jail !b In Itself a fea-
ture of unusual interest. But this is
but one of the features'. The man has
been in the shadow of the gallows for
over three years, and still Is not to be
hanged unless another Jury assesses
the death penalty. His day of execu-
tion has been fixed twice, but an at-
torney has Interposed as often to pre-
vent the strangling rope from cutting
short hlB existence. Once but a few
minutes of life were legally remaining
to him when a mandate commanded
the sheriff to suspend proceedings and
the prisoner wag remanded to his cell.
Marzen's fight for life has been a legal
marvel. Arrested within a month of
the death of his supposed victim, con-
victed on the only trial he has faced,
he is still, four years later, about to be
called -upon to face a new Jury which
shall have full power to pass upon his
guilt or innocence. Over 1,300 times
has the sun risen since he was locked
in the Jail. As many times the sun
has set and he has still been a prisoner.
Twice the noose has dangled from the
cross beam, but as often executive or
Judicial interference has prevented the
rope from putting out his life.
For four years the county has kept
this star prisoner. Nearly $1,000 has
been spent to furnish him food, to say
nothing of the good things passed in
by his faithful wife, who has run the
saloon all the time to earn money with
which to battle for her husband's life.
Murder cases cost money, no matter
how few witnesses are used. Take
all the funds needed and used In the
prosecution and defense of this man
and Cook county is at least $20,000
poorer because of his long confinement.
Half a dozen thousand will be expended
in the new trial.
Holzhueter was killed by somebody
on Jan. 30, 1895. The body was found
nearly a month later under a tree at
Ninety-first street and Western ave-
nue. Stab wounds told the story of
how the man came to his death, al-
though an effort had been made to cre-
mate the body. This was not success-
ful, and the slayer or slayers—for
whether it was the act of one man or
more is not an absolutely settled fact
—decided to abandon the remains and
take chances. The dead man and the
prisoner had been friends, and the lat-
ter admitted that he was with Fritz
when the German was last seen alive.
Robbery is the alleged motive against
Marzen. Holzhueter was a drover-
butcher and was supposed to have
some money. He occasionally carried
considerable sums with him. Marzen
is charged with having slaughtered
the man in a woodshed, robbed him,
and then attempted to destroy the
when Merry waa aent to murdererT
row. The reprive having «splr«4, a
new data waa a«t for the exaeutlos of
Marten, and tba Jail officials expected
to legally strangle him at tba MM
time that Merry was executed.
Maria* all along baa maintained bis
Innocence, and haa seemingly « •*•'
lost faith In an ultimate acquittal. Y*t
twice he haa seen the ugly nooae be-
fore bia eyea and ha* dodged by the
shortest of noses. When the gallowa
was erected which took the life of
Merry a second place was fixed for
Msrxen. But the mandate of the su-
preme court giving the condemned man
a new reprieve was received the day
before, and once more NIc Marxen waa
aent bark to hi* cell to wait on tba
courts. His faith haa received Justifi-
cation. for the court of last resort baa
aald he did not receive substantial
Justice in the former trial and has
sent his case back for retrial. By
this action all but the indictment «■
wiped out, and NIc Marxen Is today
the same man before the law that ha
was when the grand Jury returned the
true bill. His prior conviction goes
for naught. He must be tried as if
that trial had never taken place.
Some unaccountable delays have tak-
en place in thla case. Even if the de-
fendant should be guilty legal Ques-
tions have arisen which might negative
all the proof that might be offered of
hla guilt. The law says that a man
shall be speedily brought to trial, or,
having been tried, that no unneceaaary
delay shall prevent the execution of
sentence. Yet four yearB almost have
elapsed since the arrest and still the
man is a prisoner in the Jail. The man-
date of the supreme court for a new
trial was made in June, yet two months
elapsed before it was received in Chi-
cago.
But whatever the result NIc Marzen
holds the record for length of confine-
ment in Jail. He has not faced death
as often as other men condemned on

rested, Indicted, placed on trial and
convicted of the crime. The death
penalty was assessed, and every step
taken to carry It out when Governor
Altgeld granted the man a reprieve
that a case might be made out for an
appeal to the supreme court. Marxen
could almost feel the strands of the
rope when the reprieve reached the
jail officers.
The time limit of the reprieve ex-
pired about the time Chris Merry waa
to be hanged for the murder of bis

April 22 last. Merry was cangbt. tried
and condemned within aixty days of

It has recently been claimed that

explained by the fingers as a vehicle.
In handling money, especially of paper,
door knobs, bannisters, car straps, and
a hundred things everyone must fre-
quently touch, there are chances innu-
merable of picking up germs of ty-
phoid scarlatina, diphtheria, amallpox,
etc. Yet some persons actually put
such things in their mouths. If not too
large. Before eating or touching that
which is eaten, the hands should be im-
mediately and scrupulously washed.
We hear much about general cleanli-
ness ss "next to Godliness." It may
be added that here in partlculsr It Is

the passing of years- between these
times has made this an exceptional

FANCY NAMES FOR POISONS.
Danger Larks in Many of the So Called
Headache Remedies.
In his quarterly report on the health
of the borough of Chorley, Lancashire,
Dr. J. A. Harris, the medical officer for
the district, calls attention to the in-
discriminate sale and purchase of the
various so-called headache powders.
He states that under his direction the
county police obtained six or seven
samples from different shops in the
town and had them submitted to anal-
ysis. In every case the quantify of
the active Ingredient was found to be
in excess of the maximum*dose of tin
drug allowed in the British pharma-
copoeia. These remedies belong to
the class of the analgesics, the mem-
bers of the group in common use for
this purpose being acetanalide or phe-
nylacetamide, phanazone, and phena-
cetin or para-acet-phenetidin. Their
properties were fully considered in the
section of pharmacology and therapeu-
tics at the meeting at Edinburgh,
where Professor Stockman (Glasgow)
opened a discussion on the "Therapeu-
tic Value of Recent Synthetic Analge-
sics; Their Benefits and Attendant
Risks." There was a general expres-
sion of opinion that these drugs re-
quired to be handled with the great-
est care, and that a slight error of
judgment with regard to dosage might
be followed by disastrous results. All
these substances depress the heart'3
action, and In toxic doses diminish the
force of the respiratory act. The dan-
ger Is not obviated by selling a pois-
onous drug under a fanciful name.
