tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

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 tho

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
alive; 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
news, 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

Frightful Death of Eight Furnace

An explosion at furnace II, of the
Carnegie Steel Co., at Braddock, Pa. +,
killed eight men, fatally injured three
more and seriously burned Is others
Property valued at $4,000 was de-
stroyed. The explosion was due to a
hang in the furnace, which suddenly
was loosened and dropped into the
molten metal below, generating an
immense quantity of gas so suddenly
that it could not escape by the ordi-
nary means and the explosion fol-
lowed. Fifteen men were hurled into
the air with tools, molten metal and
other materials. The fiery shower
fell on the carpentershop of the COM
pany, about 100 yards from the furnace,
and was destroyed, with its contents.

WHERE THE BALL WENT.

Lost sphere in . Cricket Match Found
I. . Spectators Pocket.
Cricket balls have been lost In many
curious ways, such an by being struck
into q passing train, into crows and
other birds nests, down chimneys and
steeples, and II IL likely that last Sat
urday added one more instance to this
class Of singular events, says the Leeds
Eng) Mercury. Ingrow. on their own
ground, were playing Wilsden-the
leaders IN the West Bradford league
and when J. Smith (prof) OF the latter
team was In, he struck a ball to
square-leg. The ball went to the
boundary, passing under seat which
was filled by spectators. Seeing that
It was a boundary hit, the spectators
began to look for the ball. but they
could not find IL. Then some of the
cricketers joined In the search, but the
ball could not be seen, though they
made q close scrutiny Of all the holes
In the wall-into which II was wittily
suggested they should send a ferret.
Eventually the search was abandoned,
fresh ball was secured, and the match
continued. When 1t had been in pro-
gress for some time. some OF the spec
tators who were seated near the place
where the ball was lost suggested that
they should all feel In their pockets
and see II IL was in any Of them. This
they did, and, singular to say, II was
found In the side pocket of a gentle
man wearing a jacket whose pockets
had frequently carried small birds that
he had shot with his gun. Evidently
the ball had run up the wall behind the
seat, and a small projecting stone had
then caused it to drop downward into
the gentleman's pocket, and he, being
seated. had never felt the extra weight
as his pocket rested on the seat.

Chicago Canal WIN Lower Lake Levels.

The report of the board of army
engineers, appointed by the secretary
of war to examine and report upon the
effect the Chicago drainage canal
would have upon the waters of Lake
Michigan, has been received at the
war department. The board finds that
the canal probably would reduce the
average level of Lake Michigan about
SIX inches and probably Lake Huron
the same. This lower level no doubt
would be Objectionable to the shipping
interests, and the Lake Carriers asso-
citation is making every effort to pre-
vent the building of the canal, and has
secured the cooperation of the Cana
dian engineers and Canadian shipping
interests in opposing any steps that
would result in lowering the lake
levels. OF course, Lake Michigan is
wholly in the United states, but it is
claimed that Lake Huron would be
governed by the level of Lake Michi-
gan, and that it is border lake. In
addition, it is urged that the lowering
of the water in both Lakes Michigan
and Huron may, on account of the re-
duction outflow, have a similar effect
on Lakes Erie and Ontario.

To Hear the Telenhone.

Manager Fowler OF the Telephone
Exchange, Ashland, KY. has devised an
Ingenious attachment for telephones, to
be used in factories and shops where
the amount of noise makes it almost
impossible to hear the call bell OF the
instrument. 1t consists OF steam
whistle, which is turned on by means
of a lever operated by magnetism
When the instrument is called from the
Exchange the bell rings as usual, and
by the electric current passing through
a magnet, a weight is released which
pulls the lever to the whistle. Once
started, the whistle keeps up its shrill
note until some one answers the cal
and turns off the steam, which Is done
by simply replacing the weight. One
of these attachments is being placed al
the local steel plant, another at the
tannery, and several more will proba
bly, be installed in saw-mills and SINH
lar establishments.

Robbers Hold up a Union Pacific Express

Bandits captured the eastbound
overland flyer on the Union Pacific
railroad near Gothenburg, Neb. The
engine was cut off and sent forward in
the regulation Jesse James order
while the outlaws looted the train at
their pleasure. They compelled the
engineer at the point of revolvers to
go back to the baggage car, open the
door and gain admittance. The ex-
pressman was compelled to open the
smaller safe. He could not open the
larger com bination safe and the rob-
bers proceeded to blow the top off of
it with dynamite. The express mes
senger says that the robbers did not
get over 500 for their trouble. While
they were using the engineer to get
the express car open the fireman ran
off with the engine to Gothenburg for
assistance.

France "CalIod Down" by Uncle Sam.
Washington: There is good authority
for the statement that a peremptory
demand will be made by the United
States upon France for the release Of
Consul John Waller, of Tamatave,
Madagas .ar, and that satisfactory in
demnity will be required for his arrest
and imprisonment, with probable
request for a commission to determine
Walters rights in Madagascar. The
discussion of the case between the
French and American diplomats has
reached a point where it is said that
there is little else for the United
States to do, owing to the fact that
repeated requests for copy of the
charges and testimony on which
Waller was convicted have not been
furnished by the French government
More than this u. 5. Ambassador
Eustis has been refused permission to
visit Waller in prison.
LATER.-Acting Secretary of State
Adee has received information that
permission has been accorded Mr..
Eustis to interview Mr.. Waller. The
French authorities are evidently be-
coming alive to the fact that no more
delay will be allowed and have made
promises to produce the papers bear
ing upon the Waller case as soon as
possible.
Paris: The Temps publishes letter
from Tamatave, which says that the
French are incensed at the commander
of the American cruiser Castine for re-
fIsing to salute the garrison and to
accord other customary courtesies on
the ground that America has not re-
cognized the French protectorate.
The Americans have also caused irrita-
tion by persisting in a personal inves-
tigation of the Waller case.

The strike of the miners of 1shpem-
ing and Negaunee is still on, but the
enthusiasm of the men is fast dwin-
ding away. Instead of about 1000
men participating in the daily marches
less than 500 now appear. The men
are beginning to feel that their leaders
are too head strong and there are
said TO be some who think
they have been deceived by
the leaders as to the prospects of help

are said to be suffering now. The

ingmen of the county of about 1000
per day. Public sympathy is now not
with the strike movement. The min
ing companies have offered an ad-
vance of from 10 to 25 per cent over
the old wages which, considering the
price at which their ore was sold for
this seasons delivery, is fair and is
so looked upon. Many miners are
leaving, probably 700 having gone.
For a time men were not permitted by
the union To leave town to seek en-
plovment elsewhere, but this has been
changed.
Symptoms of internal dissensions in
the union are fast coming to the sur
face. Many who were promised sup
port on condition that they appear
daily in the marching column, and at
tend the park meetings, are in want of
relief. Coad and Wasley, the president
and secretary, have quarreled on ac-
count of the flexible disposition of the
latter, who was willing to concede a
little. Many of the men say that the
reign of terror for which some of the
leaders have been responsible, could
be shattered in day by anyone from
the ranks who would dare propose a
return to the mines under the condi-
lions offered by the companies.
