For nearly forty years Mother Seigel's Syrup has gone on curing. indigestion and all digestive troubles, till the name has become housebold word in every part of the world. Its great power is due to the fact that it ensures perfect action of the stomach and liver, and cleanses and invigorates the whole system. It thus cures by rendering indigestion, biliousness, and all kindred ills quite impossible.

ALL STOMACH DISORDERS.

"For quite a long tirae I was a martyr to indigestion. Instead of being nourished by what I ate I got nothing but pain both in chest and back. But thanks to Mother Seigel's Syrun I was soon entirely free from the pains, and able to eat anything. I am quite well now." From Mr. W. A.

STEAMER FREIGHTS ON THE

PACIFIC.

To a telegram to the Japanese Foreign Office dated the 25-k uit. the Japanese Consul at Chi- cage states that, according to what has been privately shown by a certain authority as a scale of freight tariffs on Oriental goo is recently upon by eight steamship companies on Bed gaged in the Pacile trade, the freight on antimony is 30 senta-per 100 lbs., bambo tods, 50 cents, bamboo blinds. $1; raw silk, and tea 60 cents. When these rates are added to the railway freightage, says the message, they ba said to be a very radical increase, The agents in Chicago of railway and steatoship companies do not seem to have yet received instractions from the head offson regarding the rates of freight. The oriff may be amended before being finally decided upon. Some of the anthorities in Chicage interested in the freight question are watching the attitude of the Nippon Tusen Kaisha before finally settling the

tariff rates.
