THE EXCELLENCE 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 FIG 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 FIG 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 FIG SYRUP Co. with the rnedi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of it's 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 gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name OF
the Company

SUPPOSED BURGLARS NABBED
Morris Webber and Pat O,Brien Are
Suspected.

Suspected.
Morris Webber and Patrick O'Brien, under
arrest at the Rondo street station, on the
charge of disorderly conduct, may be charged
in the police court today with the more seri-
Gus offense of attempted burglary.
1t is alleged by the police that the young
men tried to break into John Widmars sa-
loon Rice street and College avenue, at /
O'Clock yesterday morning.
At the above hour, Mr.. Widmar, who sleeps
In his saloon, was about TO retire. when he
was startled by the breaking of a side window
opening on College avenue He ran to the
door and saw two men hurrying up the street
Mr.. Widmar gave chase and fired three shots
from revolver, which he had picked up in
beginning his Investigation. One of the men,
O'Brien, stopped, and was handed over to the
police. He refused to give his companion's
name, and insisted that the breaking of the
window was an accident, claiming that he and
his friend had been scuff1ing and had fallen
against the glass.
Yesterday, Detectives Daily and Sweeney ar
rested Weber, who is said to have been
O'Brien's companion. The police charge that
several robberies have lately been committed
In the Rondo district, Of which Webber and
O'Brien have been suspected, and that the
prisoners were endeavoring to gain an en-
trance to Widmar's saloon, when driven away

The order issued Saturday night clos
subject of a good deal of discussion
yesterday. AS told in The G ! o e, no
body was more surprised than the sa-
locnkeepers themselves. The conject-
ure was mainly as to what caused the
order to issue. People had three
guesses, and were left to take their
choice which one of the three was
right.
Some believed that the order was
given to let the saloonmen who have
been doing business all night, or as
long as business kept up know that
there was new mayor who proposed
to start off by letting them know he
was mayor. These think that the
screw will be Ioosened up again in a
day or two.
Others thought that possibly Chief
Goss had learned that McIntire's eff
forts to get his position were going to
prove successful, and that before he
was relieved of duty he would exercise
his power and close up the saloons for
a time at least.
The third guess was that the move
was inspired by Senator Pottgieser,
who lives up to the midnight closing
himself, orders or no orders.
1t has been reported that Senator
Pottgieser was recently heard to re-
mark that he believed all saloons
should be closed at midnight and all
people in bed at L o'clock Some peo-
pie thought. that the senator had con-
veyed this opinion to Mayor Kiefer,
and, acting on the grounds that the
idea was a good one, the new mayor
at once put it into effect.

Train Haul Increasing.

For the past eight months the Baltimore
Ohio railroad has been keeping an ac-
curate account of the tons carried per train
mile on the entire system, in order to as
certain to what extent the improvements had
increased the train haul. The results have
more than justified the expectation as the
is 323.13 tons per train mile.
This is certainly S good showing, as the
average in years gone by did NOT exceed 225
The. average for the year will doubtless ht
much larger.

NINE WILL SPREAD THE WORD,
New Norwegian Lutheran Ministers
Were Ordained Last Night.


The First Swedish Lutheran church, Wood
ward avenue and John street, was crowded
last evening with members Of the United Nor
wegian Lutheran conference, now in session,
and members of the congregation, assembled
to witness the ordination of nine accepted
candidates for the ministry. The impressive
ceremony was conducted in the Swedish Ian
guage by Presiding Elder Hoyme, who was
assisted by local clergy Of the Lutheran faith.
The candidates about to assume the re-
sponsibilities q the priesthood were seated
about the pulpit. Clad In cassocks which lent
a solemn aspect to the services, they knelt
with the pictured cross on the wall before
them, while the rites were administered, at
times participating in responsive readings or
being led by the choir in singing.
At the conc1usionl of the ceremony the new
ly ordained ministers received the -congratu-
(sttons of members Of the conference and
their friends.

The farmers of North Dakota hav
given up all interest in the creamer
business. This is almost entirely du
Ito the high price of wheat, which ha
led the farmer to abandon the dair
business and return to his first love
that Of wheat growing. AS yet Mort,
Dakota has had little experience in di
versified farming, and not until NOR
advances are made in this direction
will the dairy industry Of that stat

vited guests to what they considered
the funeral Of Mr.. Menier at Billy
Twombly's. Mr. Menier was there.
He took off his clothes, put on an ulster.
took drink, walked out on the bridge
and dropped off. When he came
ashore Jim Ahern pulled him out, and
an unfeeling policeman took him off
to Jail. Soon thereafter Mr.. Menier
disappeared from these parts and from
the public view generally.
While Mr.. McVicker was being told
about this Mr.. Tustin had got down
on Raspberry island and had made q
deal with Dave Martin, who builds
boats down there, to take a boat % ont
and pick up man if ne saw one float
ing about in the water. 1t took him
some twenty minutes to make this ar
rangement. and to put off his clothes
and get into tights and trunks. and
while he was doing it the few friends
that the newspaper men had put on
quietly had arrived, and each one of
them had brought q couple Of friends
so that there were a couple of hun
dred people on the bridge or in the
neighboring Tivoh before the diver had
arrived in his diving costume, with a
coat wrapped about him. Just before
the event Lieut.. Boerner came down
to the bridge, but evidently suspected
nothing and went Off UP to the CEN
trail station.
It was 5:A when Mr.. Tustin put In
an appearance at the head Of the steps
leading down to the island. He was
accompanied by a youth who carried
two-inch plank. Tustin walked
along the bridge on the down river Side
until he got to point about 200 feet
from the Bridge square end. There
he told the boy to put down the plank,
It was pushed out under the railing

increased business In all kinds of dairy
supplies. One noticeable feature of the
seasons trade has been the demand for
the most improved creamery and farm
machinery. This Is certainly an evi-
dence of progress and should not be lost
sight of, when consideration Is given
to the fact that wheat has almost doub-
led in price, and butter has not chang
ed in value to any material extent It
is to be supposed that the natural re-
suit would be an increased wheat acre
age and decrease in the dairy busi-
ness.
This has only been true in a measure
The farmers, while increasing their
wheat field, have much time to devote
to dairying as wheat requires little at
tention after it first makes its appear
ance until harvesting time.
The high price Of wheat and other
grains Is not alone responsible for the
prosperity of the farmers, as the cream
cry as valuable adjunct to the farm
has proved a small gold mine to every
farmer.

GENIUS AND INSANITY.
some Cases Cited in Which They Were
Akin.

Insane people and maniacs frequently
present neofilla and great artistic ac-
tivity, and idiots frequently display
special aptitudes in which they become
superior TO normal men, some of them
becoming true prodigies, as is shown
by Dr.. Peterson in the Popular Science
Monthly, especially in arithmetic n
musical ability, with a particular incli-
nation to initiate drawings and pictures
the objects which they have before
them.
one of the most curious examples of
his is blind Tom, a pure-blooded negro,
born in Georgia in 1910. Born blind
hi showed no intelligence except for
! sounds. He could not speak q word,
but he could repeat n sound which
he heard. Merely by the aid of sound
he could repeat Greek, Latin, German
and English texts, however long, after
he a heard them recited. could play
on the piano from memory any piece,
| however difficult to follow, and had
learned by memory 500 pieces of music.
Among cases of extraordinary memory
in idiots Morel cites a cretin who re-
membered the date of the funerals. OF
all the persons who had died in his par
ish within 50 years, with the names OF
those who had taken part in these fu-
nerals. Morel also cites the case OF
an idiot who could not count up to 20.
but who knew the names OF all the
saints In the calendar, with the dates
of their respective feasts.
As to the initiative faculty, the most
curious cases are cited. At the Earl
wood asylum is an idiot who construct
ed a perfect model of a ship. with all the
more minute details. Geoffry Mind, a
cretin, who died in 1914. drew cats with
so much skill that his drawings are
preserved In all the leading museums Of
Europe. Gideon Huxton, the famous
lightning calculator. who died in 1902.
was stupid; and Zerah Colburn. exhib-
tied at the age of 6 as a lightning cal
culator, could never learn anything. He
had six toes. and many characters
tics of degeneracy.
