KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Is JIM BURROWS DEAD.
The Grave in Which he was Supposed
to Lie Opened and an Empty Coffin
Found.

In persuance of an order made to
remove the bodies of dead convicts
from the burying ground West of the
penitentiary buildings, in Little Rock,
10 new burial ground near Cunning
hams Lake, the startling discovery
was made that the body of Jim Bur
rows, the Genoa train robber, sent up
from Miller county, for safe keeping,
pending trial for his crime, had dis
appeared, leaving an empty coffin, as
as the only tenant of his, supposed
"last abode"
1t is discovery that viii create no
little interest and surprise.
When the laborers employed to re-
move the bodies of convicts, came to
the grave supposed TO contain the re-
mains ofJ jim Burrows, the noted train
robber, the implements they were
using struck against hollow pine
box, an investigation revealed the fact
that 1t was entirely empty, and there
was no evidence that it had ever been
occupied by corpse. Naturally the
discovery caused no little excitement
among the men, and the empty coffin
was the sensation of the hour. 1t was
talked of up town this morning, and
all sorts of stories were circulated.
The records of the penilentiary
show that Jim Burrows died October
5, 1883. He had been placed in the
penitentiary for sale keeping by the
Sheriff of Miller county and was being
held for trial on the charge ofrobbing
the Missouri Pacific express at Genoa,
small station eight miles from
Texarkana, on the night of July 8,
1888.
The crime will be well remember
ed. 1t was committed by Jim and
Rube Burrows and three others. The
two Burrows were run down in Ala
bama whittier they fled, and jim was
taken. He was brought back to an
swer for his crime, and was to have
been tried in December, 1888. He be-
came i'll, however, and his death was
reported as heretofore stated.
Some weeks after his death story
reached here from Alabama to the
effect that he had been seen in COM
pany with his brother, Rube, In the
That story was denied by the peni-
tentlary authorities and DR.. q. M. D.
Cantrell, who was penitentiary ply
sician at the time, stated emphatically
that Burrows died natural death on
October 9th, and was positively dead
man when turned over to the peniten-
tiary grave diggers.
Thus the matter stands, leaving the
disappearance of the body at present,
an impenetrable mystery.

In Olden Times

People overlooked the Importance of
permanently beneficial effects and
were satisfied with transient action;
but now that it is generally known
that Syrup of Figs VIII permanently
cure habitual constipation, well in
formed people will not buy other lax
atives, which act for time but finally
mjure the system.

has enjoyed reputation, and made a

Our physicians propose to re-organ-
ize medical association in Cass coun-
ty. See call in another column for

held their meetings quarterly and en-

not only for good time. but may be
very beneficiary by an interchange of

to prevalent diseases and their treat

ALEXANDER MORE'S ESTATE.
His Heirs Do Not Like the Manner
in Which IL Is Managed.

A petition was fled in the Superior Cour
yesterday by the heirs of the late Alexander PIT
More for the appointment Of a competent per-
son TO have management OF the decedenps
estate In the place of John F. More, the brother
OF deceased, who was appointed administrator
some time ago.
Ii is set forth In the petition that there Ia
certain properly belonging tolthe estate which
the adminlstrater will soon have TO turn over to
himself. This property comes through lease
OF Santa Rosa Island In the Santa Barbara
channel, which John +. More obtained from his
brother Alexander In 1891, together with GER
tain provisions, supplies, stock, and the like.
Inc lease was Tor three years. at a rental of
$4,000 year. Under the terms OF the lease
john More was TO turn over supplies to those
left on the Island. The number OF cattle was
TO be Increased and kept up to 1900 head and
the sheep up to 10000 head, all OF which is
supposed TO be turned over on the 1st of next
month.
1t is understood that the brothers and sisters
OF Alexander More do not like John, and every
rel OF his as administrator is watched very
closely. He claims partnership interest in
his brothers estate aud says he holds claims
for money loaned. Under these circumstances
the heirs think that their interests would be
bettel served by less interested person.

one meeting, at which she was not pres
ent, but sent her regrets, and then with
out any further warning she issued a cali
for meeting yesterday, calling herself
the president.
"Of course we cannot recognize Mrs.
Gordon In any such capacity. When she
was legally the president we never had
any chance to work. She would talk and
talk and talk, and there was never any,
thing in it. Since she has ceased to be
president fine branch societies have been
organized throughout the State already.
AS for her claims to be running the State
Suffrage Association, we refuse to recog-
nize them. 1t is myself. Mrs. General
Bidwell and the other duly elected officers
who belong to the State association.
"Why, of course, Mrs. Gordon sanctioned
and condoned tnat July electioD," ex-
claimed Mrs. Emily Pitt Stevens. "She
nominated me for recording secretary her
self. A few weeks after the election she
refused to give up the charter and did not
say why. For many years Mrs. Gordon
has been president, and the work has been
ormant.
''Mrs. Gordon had been out of the State
for two years before the July election, and
there had been no election for two years
before that. We thought the charter had
lapsed. but she says corporations never
die. The board of directors did recon-
mend that the July election be deferred.
but they could only recommend, not order,
and the meeting wllled otherwise.
"Why did Mrs. Gordon suddenly change
her mind and wish to remain president
when she had consented to be one of the
board of directors? Well. she may have
thought that suffrage would soon come,
and wanted Mrs. Gordon TO have the glory,
and not Mrs. Blinn. General Barnes
wrote to her after the election, when she
refused to give up the charter. Here is
her reply" and Mrs. Stevens showed a
letter, which ran:

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?
Fact or Fiction About Two Great

A newspaper paragraph denounces as

included Gold Medal. The official ex-

Can it be the manufacturers of a New

the meeting could not possibly have been
legal anyway, as the secretary had not sd-

sonally, I was willing to ratify the July

but the others were not. Did you notice
how Mrs. Foltz tried to capture that meet
ing yesterday? She requested me to give
Mrs. Blinn my chair. and the next thing
she would have been conducting the pro-

call for our meeting, and then had locked
it against US. AS they were supposed to
be holding their meeting in the California

offer for doing that"
"Well, WE'LL" replied Mrs. Gordon,
soothingly, 'they are only kindergarteners
