A Block Destroyed in Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 11.-Fire broke out
this morning shortly after midnight
in the basement of Peter Young's
furniture store on Ninety
street, and before the flames were
under control they had swept an entire
block on that street between Houston
and Commercial avenues. The build
ings were for the most part
small frame structures and the
high wind which was blowing made
the work of the fremen exceedingly
difficult. The total loss will not ex,

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.
It's 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.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
ncys, 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 viii not
accept any substitute if offered.

A Fight Between Union and Non-Unfon
Men at Chicago
CHICAGO, June 11.-Blood has stained
the beautiful marble entrance to the
81, 900, 600 mansion now being erected
by P. D. Armour, Jr., at the southwest
corner of Thirty seventh street and
Michigan avenue. A handful of non
union painters, who have been at work
in the interior of the building, was at
tackled yesterday afternoon by a party
of union men, and a desperate conflict
ragged for fully five minutes. Finally,
when peace was restored, four nom
union men were led away to a neigh
boring drug store to have their broken
heads patched up. Two other men
were thrown down a fight of stairs,
and both received severe cuts and
bruises. The police were not called to
the scene of the fracas and no arrests
were made.

TWO PENSION DECISIONS.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds Makes RuI-
ing Regarding Minors and Widows.
WASHIN GToN, June 1.-Two pension
decisions of general interest were rem
dered yesterday by Assistant Secretary
Reynolds. In the first decision he
holds that under the act of June 81,
1890, a minor may file a declaration
and prosecute his claim in person, by
guardian or next friend. but that be-
fore beginning payment of his pension
guardian must be appointed to
whom, when qualified to act, the pen
siOns shall be paid.
In the other ease. it is held that in a
claim for pension under the general
law by a mother, the fact being shown
that she was living as a mistress at the
time of the soldiers death, is sufficient
for rebutting an assumption of her de-
pendence on him If she can claim a
pension for NO other reason than de-
pendenee, her claim must be rejected

RICH FIND OF GOLD.
Sensational Story from Guthrie of the Dis

Metal.

Sensational Story from Guthrie of the Dis
cOvery of Large Quantities of the Yellow
Metal.
GUTHRIE, Ok, June 11-For several
days rumorS have been current that
gold had been discovered in paying
quantities on Doggy creek, some Il
miles southwest from Arapahoe, g
county. Last Friday Tommie Bell
came to town and stated that some
very rich leads had been found: that
people were focking into the mineral
region from all points of the compass,
and that company had been formed
and was taking the precious metal out
In vast quantities In less than two
hours several parties were equipped
and on the road to the fields.
| Messrs. Lee Wells and Alex Han
shaw returned yesterday and reported
very rich fields and that hundreds of
men were on the ground stalking off
claims; that vein running from Cobb
creek in the Caddo country to the
head of Doggy, distance of 40 miles,
and ranging from 8 to IL miles wide,
had been discovered; that beyond ques-
ton there is gold in abundance. Messrs.
Wells and Hanshaw brought back
some specimens which have been test
ed by Mr.. Cramer, an experienced
miner and essayist. who reports the
specimens very rich with precious met
ais. The strata of gold is found on an
average of about feet below the sur
face, very easily gotten out. Several
mining companies are now in process
of organization and will apply for a
charter just as soon as the required
amount of capital is subscribed, which
is thought will be forthcoming by to-
day. A mining town has been laid ont
and plated under the townsite law.

THAT BIG GOLD FIND.

Excitement Continues Over the Reported
Discovery of Rich Auriferous Deposits.
GUTHRIE, Ok, June 12.-More ex-
element prevails over the gold strike
than during the late Kickapoo rush.
Messrs. Nicholas, Sallier and Ogilby
have just returned and brought
back several shot sacks of the
ore. They report fabulous finds
and that the people are con-
fdent that they have struck one of the
richest gold fields ever found.
A courier has just come in from the
new gold fields and reports the find
ing of gold in paying quantities to
be a fact. The principal workings
are in the hills at the head of
Doggy creek, about Is miles south
west of Arapahoe. 1t is now said
that tracings of gold can be found all
along the hills from the head of Cobb
creek in the Caddo country to the east
line of Greer county, distance of
about As miles, but that the richest
strikes SO far have been at the head of
Doggy and Turkey creeks, southwest
of here

The Rule to BE Extended to the Govern
ment Printing Forces.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-As a result
of a conference between the president,
Public Printer Benedict and the mem
bers of the civil service commission, it
has been determined to place the en-
tire force of the government printing
Office under the civil service rules.
This change will take from the
operation of the spoils system
and give permanent tenure of
service during good behavior to
between $500 and 5000 men and
women. All departments of the print
ing Office are to be affected by the
change. The civil service commission,
in anticipation of this change, has
been engaged in the preparation of
systems of examinat ions for the differ
ent classes of employees, and will soon
be ready to put them into effect. One
of the effects of the proposed change
will be to give the public printer time
to give some attention to the business
of his Office, most of his time, especial
~ during the sessions of congress, be-
ing taken up with listening to pleas
for appointments and reinstateme ntS-

Big Fire at Arkansas City.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, June 1L-At
/ o'clock this morning the Santa Fe
roundhouse and repair shops in this
city caught fire and, with their con-
tents, burned to the ground. The
greatest excitement prevailed, as the
volunteer fire department was totally
inadequate to cope with the flames
No one knows how the fire caught.
There were, it is said, from ten to if
teen engines in the roundhouse, and
the best estimate that can be made
during the excitement is that the loss
will be from 500, 600 to $50, 900.
