The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and tndy beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, tfie California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine—manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
LOYAL TO THEIR
FELLOW TOWNSMEN.
PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA
TOWN FLOCK TO NEW YORK
TO HELP AN ALLEGED BURG
LAR.
New York, Jan. 13.—Gotham po
lice may believe that Thomas Mc-
Atee, who halls from Mahoney Plano,
Pa., is a burglar as he is charged
■with being, but not so with
McAtee’s fellow townsmen who
were on hand In force today when
bis case was called for trial. Ac
cording to former County Detective
Reardon the accused young man at
tempted to rob his fiat on the night
of December 15, a few days after he
had landed in the metropolis from
his home in the Keystone State
Reardon asserts that McAtee put up
a stiff fight when he was caught and
that on his person were found a
hunch of skeleton keys and a regu
lation jimmy.
Word of McAfee's plight soon
reached his native town, and Father
Hogan, who had known him since,
his birth, called a meeting of his tal
low townsmen, and they drew up .a
letter which was sent to District At
torney Jerome.
Not satisfied with this. Father Ho
gan h-d a delegation to New York to
, testify to McAtee's good character
Vand to see that" he received justice.
Included in the delegation were the
coil-ty coroner, the village doctor, a
Justice-of the peace and a young wo
man who blitshlngly admits that she
is to be-marrled to McAtee as soon
as he Is safely out of his present
trouble.i'
FUN8TON HAS A MYSTERY.
Shooting and < Robbery Occurred
-There Sunday Night.
The little town of Funston has
been very much exercised the last
two days over a mysterious shooting
and robbery which occurred there
Sunday night. The shooting was at
the home of Mrs. Touchton. where
her son, Mr. Willie Touchton,
daughter and son-ln law, Mr. Dennis
Hall reside. About six o'clock In the
evening while Mr. Hall was standing
at the yard gate, a shot was flrtd
from behind him. The bullet passed
near his head and struck a horse In
the lot. No one was seen and noth
ing further was heard. Mr. Hall
was not sure whether the shot was
fired at him or at the animal wblcn
belonged to Mr. Touchton. He and
his wife busied themselves at oace
with the horse which was shot near
the eye and fell bleeding. The ani
mal was gotten up and led across the
street to the home of Mr. C. H. GUIs
who doctored it while Mr. Hall
mounted another horse and west for
a physician.
While Mr. and Mrs. Hall were both
out of their house some one entered
it and rifled the trunk of -Mr. Touch-
ton which contained his clothing and
'(ha^e money. The latter—about fif-
teen dollars In currency—was taken
away* This was not missed nntil
about eleven o'clock, at night.
Mr. Tonchtoa came to Moultrie
for Sheriff Boyd and his deputy, D.
I. Murphy, and they went out to the
scene of the shooting and robbery
^ and remained In the vicinity for a
good portion of the night but no due
wa* obtained worthy of attention.
This morning The Observer learned
that, suspicion had been fastened on
a negro who had a hill like one of
those stolen. There was talk - of
making an arrest.
The horse shot was a two-year-old
,colt and a very fine animal. Mr.
,§ touchton had been offered two hun-
g ired and twenty-five dollars for It.—

S0L0NS OF KANSAS
HAVE MANY PROBLEMS
NOT NO MANY RADICTL MEAS
URES TO BE ENACTED AT
THIS SESSION, HOWEVER.
Topeka, Kas., Jan. 13.—The Kan
sas legislature which convenes today
will be called upon to deal with some
Important questions, though U
not expected that so many measures
of radical retorm will be enacted as
vras thecase at the session two years
ago.
After completing ft,. organisation
the legislature will proceed to the
election -of a United. States senator
to succeed Chester I. Long, whose
term will expire with the end of the
present congress. The choice of his
successor will be purely a perfunc
tory proceeding, aB the general pri
mary held last sumea Insures the
election of Joseph L. Bristow, form
erly aslstant postmaster general of
the United States.
One of the foremost mattres to re
ceive the attention of the lawmakers
is the question of a state bank de
posit guaranty law. As both parties
are pledged to enact such a law, it
is certain that the measure will pass
in some form or another. Proposed
amendments to the tax laws form
another Important subject to be
dealt with.* To make prohibition as
nearly absolute throughout the state
as posible a measure will be Intro
duced to abolish the selling of liquor
on trains. ,,

In Poe is due to the fact that he was
