THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FiuS
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 scU'ntiiic proocssos
known to the Cawfohkia. F10 Sybpp
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As t'10
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Svbup 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 thi 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 is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on tho kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken-
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company —
california fig syrup co.

MORRRISS—LOW.
Wedding of Two of Brenham's Society
People Wednesday Night.
Married, at 8 o'clock last night,
at the residence of the bride's
parents on West street, Mr. Wil-
liam M. Morriss and Misa Corrie
Low, Rev. E. I'. Newsom officiat-
ing.
This union of two of Bren-
ham's most popular young peo-
ple was not expected to occur at
such an early date, until about
threo or four days ago when
rumor's wings caught the intel-
ligence and flashed it from ear to
ear, and from lip to lip. It was
an announcement that brought
pleasure to the friends of both
the young people, because those
who know them, know how
suitable one is for the other. The
bride is gentle and kind, loving
and sincere, and devout in her
Methodist belief. Tho groom is
a young man of sterling business
qualities, reared in the counting
room, and true to its every
method and requirement, a man
of exemplary habits, possessing
no qualification that would excite
comment, and bearing every
virtue that is admirable, upright,
honorable and religious. Both
have been raised in Brenham,
the one by parents whose resi-
dence in Washington county
date* back to many, many years
ago, Mr. and Mrs. 8. A. Morrisa,
and who aro yet honored citizens
of a suburb of Brenham.
The bride is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. T. A.
Low, one of the most prom-
inent families in this city, a
family the name of which has
been coupled with the name of
this town in every way which
denoted progress, prosperity or
refinement. She is a charming
young lady, and much admired
by all who know her.
The ceremony was said in the
spacious parlors of the bride's
home on WestJ street, only the
immediate relatives of the two
families being present. Imme-
diately after the ceremony, when
congratulations had been said, a
supper was served for those as-
sembled. A large number of
presents wero received by the
newly wedded pair.
Mr. and Mrs. Morriss will make
their home in Brenham, the
groom being an employe in tho
First National Bank.
Little

Cancer often results from an im-
aurity in the blood, inherited from
generations back. Few people are en-
tirely free from some taint in the blood,
and it Is impossible to tell when it will.

cer What has appeared to be a mere

Even if war is not at hand,
and complications are not proba-
ble, there is evidently a desire
on the part of the people who
have property upon the high
seas to protect their enterests to
prevent a possible loss from an
unforeseen occurrence.
The present Fashoda discus-
sion between England and
France, with Russia as a possi-
ble ally for France, has attract-
ed attention in all parts of the
world, and the readers of the
daily papers are watching close-
ly to see what will follow. Busi-
ness interests however tell bet-
ter than newspaper reports the
possibilities. Milroy <fc Co. of
this place, cotton buyers, who
buy and ship direct to English
and continental spinners, have
advices that indicate that some-
thing is about to happen. CaVles
were received Wednesday from
the spinners saying that war
insurance has been taken out on
all shipments which go forward
in English or French bottoms,
and shipments billed to points in
England or any of the British
possessions. These cables com-
ing from the other side of the
water indicate that something is
about to occur that will make
shipments hazardous.

He Will Cross the Santa Fe Railroad
Track Today.
As there is to be no circus in
Brenham during the present
year, and as exhibitions aro al-
ways agreeable to those who like
to be amused, tho Banner calls
attention to that which will tako
place today, no admission being
charged.
"How will he get it across the
railroad?" is a question which
has been asked the Banner re-
porter on an average of twenty-
four times each day for the last
ten days. "He," has reference
to Mr. McGowan, the mover of
houses, and "it" has reference
to a house, a one story, frame,
shingle roof dwelling, modest of
architecture, but comfortable as
a home, which was recently pur-
chased by Mr. Lochridge, and
which he has engaged Mr. Mc-
Gowan to move from a place near
tho Union depot to the vacant lot
on West Main street, adjoining
the Presbyterian church. Mr.
McGowan has worked faithfully
on the contract. Slowly and
surely has that dwelling ad-
vanced toward its new location.
Telephone and telegraph poles
barred the way at times, but
those difficulties were avoided, in
one instance the pole being pulled
up and moved and in another the
house being moved around the
pole. Then a fence happened to
bo in the line of march, but that
fence was pulled up bodily by
the roots, placed to the side, and
the residence continued, moving
north on West street, until Main
street was reached. It then took
a turn east on Main crossing the
corner, and Wednesday was
spent in straightening it around
so that it sits nearly squarely in
tho center of Main street, within
a few feet of the railroad track,
ready for tho pull on the rope
which will be made today.
That house has had an ex-
perience. It has been moved
east, west, north and south, to
the side, to the rear and around
Tho negro laborers have turned
the windlass, and slowly about
circular form wound the rope
and with the winding of the rope
came the dwelling, responding to
the call. It has been a slow and
tedious job, but it has been a
sure one, and now the house that
Jack did not build, but whioh
Mr. Lochridge bought, is within
sight of the place which will be
its resting place. Mr. Lochridge
will be glad when it is upon its
foundation. He has answered
more questions and given more
explanations than an ordinary
man is called on to give in a life
time. For Mr McGowan a comple
tion of that contract will be a re
lief. He has had to answer
few hundred questions per day.
Those who havo been so anx-
ious to know how "he will
iUecross the railroad track" can
be satisfied today. The house is
now in a position. It is not known
at what time the trap will b«
sprung but it will be today,
some time between sunrise and
sunset. The Banner man knoWs
how it is going to be taken across
the track,but he has promised not
to tell. It may be in a balloon,
or on an overhead bridge, or
possibly Mr. McGowan will tun«
nel under the track. At any
rate it is going across, and it is
possible that he may just pull it
across the track as he has pulled
it along the street. It has never
occurred to him possibly that he
can do that, and the suggestion
has not come from any of those
wiseacres who have questioned
the Banner man on the subject.
If he gets on the track and can-
not move, the trains may be de-
layed awhile, but they can do
nothing more than wait. The
company has a telegraph wire
to the dispatcher and he can be
notified that an obstruction pre-
vents. The locomotive will not
try to go through it. A man
sized locomotive can grapple
with a cow on the track, because
it has a cow-catcher, but as it
has no house catcher, it will not
try to go through the dwell-
ing. At any rate the question
hich has been asked so often
will be answered today, and the
Banner invites every body to
come down and see the fun.
There will be no admission, and
the whole show will bej under
one tent.
Postmaster William Dwyer
returned about 5 o'clock Wed-
esday afternoon from a trip to
Kenney where he heard Hon. R.
Hawley address the voters.
Of course the postmaster is en-
thusiastic, and any one in three
blocks of the postoffice yesterday
afternoon could have heard what
the Brenham advocate of the
Tenth district gold bug thought
the speech. Mr. Dwyer is
confident that Hawley will win,
but when the democrats ask him
why he thinks it, he cannot ex-
plain any more than to say:
Because." The speech is said
to have been a fine effort from
the standpoint of one who be-
lieves in high tariff, gold bugg-
ism, and other such the
leones.
Van Jankins did not have a
preliminary hearing before Jus-
tice Ewing Wednesday as was
expected. Jenkins is charged
with killing John Cole at Mace-
donia church last Saturday
night. Archie Cole, a brother of
the deceased, is the principal
witness in the hearing, and he is
not in a condition to attend
church, his wounds being too
serious to allow him to venture
out in the cold.
Mrs. Ella Hachler enter-
tained the Ladies Euchre olub
at the Exchange hotel yesterday
afternoon. There were four tab-
les, and the rivalry was very en-
, oyable to all. Miss Williams
scored the highest number of
games, and was awarded the
prize, a souvenir spoon. Re-
freshments, consisting of the
season's delicacies were served.
Marriage licenses were issed
Wednesday by County Clerk
Seward to the following: Reu-
ben Felder and Maria Dawson,
Wash Heard and Ollie Andrews,
Robert Wittlief and Miss Mary
Quebe, William M. Morris and
Miss Corrie A. Low.
Alf Dieckman, one of the best
known traveling men on the
road, ex-president of the Travel-
er's Protective association, spent
Wednesday in the city, a guest
of the Exchange hotel.
At the First Baptist church
Wednesday night Mrs. Tom
Whitman was baptized, Rev. R.
C. Pender officiating.
Mr. Louis Tesch is reported
