The
Ejeceptionat
Eqttipmenl
of the California I ig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic-
inal principles of plants known to act most
beneficially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and rcfrcbhing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
FigB and Elixir of Senna and as the gen-
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the almve facts enables
one to decline imitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
of theCalifornia Fig SyrupCo. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

Interrupted the Wedding.
The other day, at the Shawnee
county Court House, Prohate Judge
Bchoch was about to marry a young
couple. He pronounced the prelim-
inary words and told them to Join
bands, and started on the ceremony.
"Hey, there! Hold up a minute!
Wait, I say!" This series of startling
exclamations came from the door.
The groom was horrified—the bride
badly scared.
"Just a minute. I want to give you
each an apple before you are married."
said the man who had made the noise.
And in he calmly walked and handed
each of them a Grimes Golden.

Monett, Mo.—A tornado which be-
gan west of here at 8 o'clock killed
Andrew A. McCormick, a farmer, in-
jured seriously his son, Noel, and hurt
six other children. The McCormick
farm house, which is five miles south-
east of here, was demolished, and the
farm buildings razed and live stock
killed.
Telephone and telegraph wires are
down and it is thought that much dam-
age was wrought in the southern part
of the county.
Joplin, Mo.—A tornado of unusual
fierceness has swept Barry county
and a part of Lawrence county, doing
thousands of dollars' worth of dam-
age and killing four, and possibly
more. At Monett it is reported that
two are dead, and damage done to the
amount of more than $10,000.
At Seligman in Barry county, about
40 miles south of Monett, and the
southern point of the county, two are
reported to have been killed, four In-
jured, and one girl missing. She is
believed to have been carried away by
the wind.
The towns in the storm district are
isolated and all communication was
ended shortly after 11 o'clock last
night. Passengers arriving on trains
which passed through after the storm
report that for miles the country is de-
vastated.
According to the tonegraph operator
at Pierce City, the storm came from
the southwest, striking Seligman
shortly after 9 o'clock last night and
practically demolishing the buildings
of the town. Purdy, about fifteen
miles northwest, and Bricefield are
also reported to have been devastated
and all efforts to communicate with
these places have failed.
Body Servant of Gen. Mahone Doubt-

Master's "Props."
Gen. Adalbert R. Bufflngton, at a
dinner in Madison, N. J., told a num-
ber of civil war stories.
"Gen. Mahone," he said, "was very
thin. One cold and windy December
morning In '64 he was taking a nap in
his tent when his old colored servant,
'Uncle Davy,' tiptoed In, and, stum-
bling in the darkness, knocked down
the general's folding cot and spilled
him out on the frozen ground.
"Gen. Mahone jumped up furiously,
seized a scabbard and made for Davy.
Davy ran. The general gave chase.
"Uncle Davy tore up hill and down
dale till he was pretty well out of
breath; then he looked back over his
shoulder at his master, who bounded
after him on slender limbs, blue and
thin, his long, while night shirt flut-
tering in the chill morning.
" 'Fo' de ian's sake. Mars' William,'
the exhausted Davy yelled, desperate-
ly, 'yo' hain't trustin' yo'se'f in dii
wind on dem legs, is you?'"

The comic supplements are filled
these days with pictures representing
lome of the foolish questions that
people ask. Here is a suggestion for
one:
A man was walking hastily through
the rain yesterday afternoon, his um-
brella raised and his head bent. An
acquaintance, standing in a doorway,
balled him:
"Say," he shouted, "are you going
to use that umbrella? If you're not,
lend it to me!"
Doesn't that capture the Icing?

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.
When prominent men realize the In-
jurious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
"My mother, since her early child-
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained of
that 'weak all over' feeling and sick
stomach.
"Some time ago I was making an offi-
cial visit to a distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. I noticed a
somewhat peculiar flavour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
"I was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, I bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so well pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
"I had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mother's con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
\aer general condition much Improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
"I know Postum has benefited my-
self and the other members of the
family, but not in so marked a de-
gree as in the case of my mother, aa
she was a victim of long standing."

"ELACK HANDERS" DRAW
STILETTOS ON LETTERS
Columbus, Ohio—Postal Inspector
Oldfleld, who led the way In making
the arrests of eleven alleged Black
Hand operators in Central Ohio last
week, admitted that he had received
threatening letters, Indicating that he
would meet a horrible death unless
he desisted in his efforts to prosecute
the Italians. The letters were decor-
ated with representations of stilettos
and other arms similar to those seized
by the inspectors In their raids last
week. Inspector Hosford Is said to
have received similar letters.
It has developed that John Amicon.
the Columbus commission man. had
received a new letter within the last
week, In which demand was made for
$2&,000. The inspectors have the let
ter in their possession.
Today the inspectors will be In To-
ledo, when the hearing of S. Lima,
the alleged leader of the gang ar-
rested at Marion, is scheduled to take
place. Postponements are likely in
all the hearings because of a desire to
get the evidence collected and care-
fully considered. July 1 is the time
favored for the hearings. The postal
inspectors may seek to have the
courts Impose cumulative sentences.
It is said the letters received in the
Amicon cases would make possible
seven sentences. The maximum sin-
gle sentence fixed by law is eighteen
months. If made cumulative the sen-
tence could be seven times that per-
iod.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE IS READ.
Chief Executive Declares If His Plans
Are Adopted the Federal Gov-
ern ment Will Supervise
Public Utilities.
Washington, D. C.—President Taft
yesterday sent a message to congress
on the subject of a tax on the net
earnings of corporations and an in-
come tax amendment to the constitu-
tion.
The president's message was
brought to the senate while Senator
Burton was making a speech in op-
position to a duty on zinc ore. Sena-
tor Root, being in the chair, ordered
the reading of the document as soon
as the Ohio senator ceased speaking.
When the purport of the message was
made known both Republicans and
Democrats remained in their seats
and all listened attentively to the
reading of the message.
Upon the completion of the reading
of the president's message Senator
Gore moved to refer it to the com-
mittee on finance with instructions
to report by next Friday a resolution
for an income tax in accordance with
the president's recommendation.
Until Cutlcura Cured Him.
"I was troubled with a severe Itch-
ing and dry, scrufy skin on my ankles,
feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made
it worse. Thousands of small red pim-
ples formed and these caused Intense
itching. I was advised to go to the
hospital for diseases of the skin. I did
so, the chief surgeon saying: "I never
saw such a bad case of eczema." But I
got little or no relief. Then I tried many
so-called remedies, but I became so
bad that I almost gave up in despair.
After suffering agonies for twelve
months, I was relieved of the almost
unbearable itching after two or three
applications of Cuticura Ointment. I
continued its use, combined with Cutl-
cura Soap and Pills, and I was com-
pletely cured. Henry Searle, Little
Rock, Ark., Oct. 8 and 10, 1907."

Good Stroke of Business.
The £1 note Is not the smallest is-
sued by the bank of England. By
mistake a note of the value of one
penny was made and Issued in 1828.
It was in circulation for many years,
a source of annoyance to the cashiers
in making up their accounts. At
length the holder of it brought It to
the bank and after considerable argu-
ment persuaded the authorities to
give him £5 for It.
The extraordinary popularity of fine

"Why should a man pay rent when

"I don't know," answered Mr. Meek

GOT TO THE CAUSE
A Test of Friendship.
Just before Artemus Ward's death
Robertson poured out some medicine
and offered it to the sick man, who
■aid: "My dear Tom, I won't take
any more of that horrible stuff."
Robertson urged him to swallow the
mixture, saying: "Do, now—there's a
dear fellow—for my sake. You know
1 would do anything for you."
"Would you?" said Ward, feehly,
grasping his friend's hand for the last
time.
"I would indeed," said Robertson.
"Then you take It!"

erward.—Recollections of the Ban-

And Then All Symptoms of Kidney
Trouble Vanished.
C. J. Hammonds, 617 S. Hill St., Fort
Scott, Kansas, says: "I was operated
on for stone in the
kidney but not cured
and some time after
was feeling bo bad
that I knew there
must be another
stone that would '
have to be cut out. i
I decided to try
Doan's Kidney Pills
and the kidney action improved right
away. Large quantities of sediment
and stony particles passed from me,
and finally the stone itself, part dis-
solved, but still as big as a pea. With
it disappeared all symptoms of dizzi-
ness, rheumatism and headaches. I ■
have gained about 50 pounds since and
feel well and hearty."
