THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF figs

THE EXCEL MG OF SYRUP OF figs
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity Of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FORNIA FIe SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence Of Its remedy. It Is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

Washington, July 22.-A signih-
cant statement was made TO the As
sociated Press today by a gentle
man in position to speak with
knowledge and authority as to the
plans of the administration with
reference to- future war opera
tions. In substance, the statement
was as follows:
Commodore Watson, in proceed
ing to the Spanish peninsula as
soon as the Porto Rican expedition
is gotten under way, is not to bonn
bard the cities of the Spanish coast
No such idea of bombardment OF
the coast is maintained.
While there may be other Incl
dental purposes, the main mission
Of Watson is TO take care of Admi-
raj Camara's feet. The movement
of this feet and the fears and appre-
tensions caused by reports con-
cerning it are to be stopped for all
time. The ships under Camara will
be located by Watson and finally
met and engaged. The talk occa
sionally INDUCED in as to the Ca
nary Islands is utterly without
foundation. This government has
10 plans to take these islands and
does not want them.

The blood blotted trail of
"Johnse" Hatfield stops before pris-
on bars.
Another of the desperate gang OF
murderers and outlaws that has III
tested the Kentucky border Of the
state has been c?ralled and is in
the grip of tie relentless, outraged
law. In his human moments his
eyes look out upon moving shapes
of murdered msn and murdered
women, and murdered children.
He sees a scafold. In his human
moments his ears ring with the
groans of victims slaughtered, with
curses and curiously urcouth pray
ers. He hears the swinging Of the
trap.
The facts leading up to the cap
ture of this distinguished murderer
are interesting. The story OF his
taking is thrilling. The characters
in the episode are "Joknse' Hat
field, brother Of the courtly Grim
inal Cap" ard son ofthe paradox.
ical desperate Devil Auso, 'his pal,
"Awk" Damron probably con-
traction for awkward; Doc Ellis, a
prominent timber man worth about
$4,000 with home at Gilbert, in
MIngo county, and logging camp at
the mouth Of poplar branch just
across the river IN Kentucky; and
lastly, though next to "Johnse,"
most interesting of the quartette,
Deputy United States Marshal Dan
W. Cunningham-that man OF iron
nerve and terror to evil-doers, who
has been up against the Hatfield
gang for many years and has
brought number of them to jus,
tiCe.
DAN SCENTS TROUBLE.
As may be readily supposed,
Dams name is on the Hatfield
blacklist and he has been marked
by the gang for slaughter. Dead
men tell no tales. There is prob
ably no man alive today who can
give more valuable testimony
against these picturesque pests in
human form that this self made de-
tective. Consequently when be re
ceived letter from his friend Doc
Ellis asking him to come to his
camp at the mouth Of Poplar creek,
on urgent business, Dams trained
instinct scented trouble ard his ex-
perience told him that the Hathelds
were in it. But he took his life in
his hands, as he has done so often
in times past, and went. He was
back in Charleston again last night
carrying as trophies of his trip a
I5-o5 Winchester bullet, a 3S Smith
& Wesson cartridge, a devilish.
looking dirk, six.inches long and
an inch wide, and very bad head
ache. The three first articles he
will present to the State Historical
Society. The last he will keep
until be can get rid of it. 1t is
curiosity in the way of a headache,
remarkable both for size and ten
acity, but the society does not want
il.
SWORN TO KILL HIM.
Cunningham had been up in
Wyoming tracking a man wanted
in Parkersburg for felony. He
missed him there and came home.
Here he heard that his man was in
Mingo and Sunday he set out for
that interesting little county. Not
finding the game he was after he
decided to 60 over to Ellis camp,
which decision he Immediately
acted upon. This was on Monday.
There Doc Ellis told him that
"Johnse' Hatfield had sworn to kill
him aud was preparing to follow
I'D his unrighteous VOW with i'm
mediate action. Now, how Doc
Ellis came to be placed in this un-

comfortable predicament the
records do not show. 1t can not
be said that the Hat6elds had any
thing particular against Doc Ellis;
it seems that he is one OF number
of good citizens who do not love
the gang, and they had it in for him,
were going to give him a summer
cutting in eternity, as "Johnse" de-
clared il other words. The citizens
of Logan and Mingo counties, par
ticular the latter, have grown ter
ribly tired of these gangs OF deS-
perate mer who roam the ranges
attired principally in Winchesters,
cartridges and dirks, and while they
have nothing against the Hathelds
or their friends who remain at
home and attend to their business,
or when they travel, go about as
non combatants, the MiDgol!ans
have arrived at a sort OF unyrltten
agreement that it is their opinion
that the time has cone when every
Hatfield or member Of the Hatfield
gang or OF any gang, going about
tie country armed TO the teeth,
must be dealt with according to tie
laws Of civilized communities. So
unanimous are the citizens On this
point that the desire amounts TO
almost an organized effort.
At any rate, the name Of Dc
Ellis was on the fatal black list and
he was feeling badly about it. He
welcomed the detective with open
arms, so to speak, and the two
presently sat down to eat dinner.
They had hardly begun tieir meal
when they perceived steathily
lodging in the woods on the other
side OF the river-Tug river-fg-
ures of armed men. Cunningham
and Ellis had made up their minds
to capture "Johnse" Hatfield or kill
him. The time had come. 1hiS
was their quarry. They slipped
down to the rivers edge and
silently crossed over to the
south end Of Sand siding cut, where
they took position sheltered from
observation. In short time they
saw "Johnse" put his Winchester
to his shoulder ard draw dead
aim on Ellis shack on the other
side of the river. He was waiting
for Doc to come out. The other
man, who was "Awk" Damron, was
still down in the weeds. Ellis and
Cunningham threw up their guns
and covered the desperate, who
had his Winchester trained on the
headquarters OF the Mingo man
across the river. He turned his
head for an instant and his murder
charged eyes looked down the bar
rels of two deadly rifles aimed at
his head.

DROP THAT GUN"

DRCP 1HAl " ~
"Johnse" Hatfield is noted
among other things, as a man OF
quick action. Drop that gun and
hold up your hands" shouted Gun
ningham. "Johnse" took another
| lightning glance at the rifles Of his
enemies and dropped his gun. He
did not hesitate. Had he turned it
an inch to the right he would have
had two bullets in his head. Cur
ningham, Ellis covering "Johnse, ="
walked over and standing oD the
desperado's rife, proceeded to fur
ther disarm him by taking from his
clothes a 50 Smith & Wesson ard
the six-inch dirk. He then haud-
cuffed him and left him in charge
of two men-Hopkins and Birch
feld-who had just come up and
he and Ellis followed "Awk" Dam
ro1, caught him, took from him a
revolver and Winchester and
brought him back to where they
had left Hatfield. The latter's
guards had taken him across the
river and thither went Ellis and
Cunningham with Damron. They
kept him over night and next day,
having nothing against him turned
him loose and sent him home with
his own and Hatfeld's artillery
The dirk Cunningham bought from
"Johnse," paying him a dollar for
il; Ellis and Cunningham took
their prisoner across the Kentucky
mountains to the Pikeville Jail, a
long forty miles from camp. There
they left him to face the thirty-nine
Pike county indictments for mur-
der pending against him.

Here is a little pointer for those
whose conduct conveys the impress
sion they think there is no hereafter.
The late lamented Bill Nye once
said: "Do not attempt to cheat an
editor out of his years subscription
to his paper, or any other sum.
Cheat the minister, cheat anybody
and everybody, but if you have any
regard for the future consequences,
don't fool the editor. You will be put
up for Office some time, or want some
public favor for yourself or friends,
and when your luck is thing of
beauty, a joy forever, the editor will
open upon you, and knock your cas-
ties into cooked hat at the first fire.
He'll subdue you and then you'll cuss
your stupidity for driveling idoit,
go hire some man to knock you down
and kick you for falling"

Pea Ridge,

Quite snow storm and cold wave
visited this section the latter part of
last week.
The writer has for some time de-
sired to write and tell the readers of
your worthy paper something in re-
gard to Pea Ridge. First we will say
it is one amongst the first settlements
of what is now known as Garrett
county. In the early days of its set
tlement it was was covered with vast
forests of pine and other valuable tim
Der. Now it is farming region sit
uated obout seven miles northwest
of Homecoming and about 81 miles
south of the old National pike. 1t
mostly belonged to the tract Of land
known as Walnut Hills, and is among
the ranges of the Alleghanies.
Quite, but not a serious accident,
occurred here Friday last, while Messrs.
John and Herman Robeson, in COM
pany with Miss Percy Brady, of Oak
land, were descending the steep hill
above j. o. Wilhelm's on their way
to Homecoming, when one of the horses
lost his footing. On trying to recover
himself he surged against the one on
the lower side, just then Mr.. Robeson
lost control of the brake. By this
time the wagon had gotten consider
able speed and went tumbling down
an embankment of several feet, throw
ing the three persons from the wagon
in a terrible thicket of briars and
stumps. Everything the wagon con-
tained was completely demolished ex-
cept trunk packed with with cloth
ing for Miss Brady. 1t was narrow
escape but no one was seriously hurt
for which they may be thankful.

village Saturday last.
Miss Clara Merrill was the guest of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Lancaster one
day last week.

THE Democratic leaders are work
ing" the Populists with their usual
success in those sections where they
have been able to induce them to SER
iously consider the fusion proposition.
In Oregon they have made a complete
fusion by which they give the Popu-
lists the Governorship and some other
State officers, shrewdly retain the
members of Congress for themselves
and their allies, who sail under the
name of "SilverRepublicans." This
is simply part of the general scheme
by which the Democrats hope to at
tain the cooperation of the Populists
and themselves get all the advantages
from a national standpoint, leaving
the Populists a few crumbs of State
patronage and keeping them in a
position where they can have no in
fiuence in national affairs.

delight in cruelty, and upon men who
would bring on war because they

others who keep their heads, and
they are the reliance of the nation.

''War is helll' said General Sher-

shout for it. The viler newspapers
try to incite it. The President seeks
to escape the calamity, if not driven
to the extremity of choosing between
war and sacrifice of right and honor.
General Sherman's pithy character
iZation of war makes it none too
repulsive. John Ruskin, with some
rapid strokes of his pen, has filled in
the details of the horror; "If you

1.-THE girl who works-God bless

and active; she is not too proud to
earn her own living; she is not
ashamed to be seen at her daily task;
she is studious. painstaking and pa

sown into each soul; she is like a
beautiful mountaineer; her character
is pure as the bubbling spring, strong
as the rock from which it flows and
as high as the mountains topmost

hand may be stained by dish wash
ing, sweeping, factory greese or prin-

hand; it stays misfortune for many
homes; it is one shield that protects
many forlorn little family from the

Coal mining, which suffered such
a depression under the low tariff rates
and the general manufacturing and
business inactivity accompanying the
Wilson law, is being greatly benefited
by the higher tariff and reviving in
dustries of the Dingley law. Reports
from the Maryland mines say that
the industry here lis showing greater
activity at this season of the yea1
than at any season in its history, =
while reports from other sections are
equally gratifying and show that the
the coal miners as well as others in

try made no mistake in voting for

April 18th as Arbor Day and in his
proclamation says:
II do recommend that the day be
devoted by the people of this State to
the planting of forest trees, and / es-

teachers of the public schools that
they encourage their children, or
those under their influence, to plant
or transplant at least one forest shade
tree on that day by the side of the
public road or about their school
house.
at is hoped by the observance OF
this custom to counteract the evil eff
feet resulting from rapid destruction
of forests in our State, and to main
tain due proportion of forest land,
which is essential to the comfort,

THE rapid growth of the protection
sentiment in the South is illustrated
by a letter received from a Virginia
democrat published in the New York
San in which he declares that the
Wilson law was an aggregation of in
iquities and that the only objection
to the Dingley law is that it does not
go far enough in the interests of pro-
tectiOn
