The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to- the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laXa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the Ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities OF the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUI

A LIQUOR CASE.
Which Was stubbornIy Fought In Mu-
nicipal Court.


In tho Municipal court, the case of
Robert O. Crossman, on complaint of
selling intoxicating liquors at 8l8 Fore
street, provoked considerable interest yes
terday morning on account of the stub
born contest made by Dennis A. Meaher,
Esq., counsel for Crossman. Assistant
County Attorney Allen appeared for the
prosecution. Attorney Meaher- complained
In the first place that the respondents
name was not Robert e. Crossmaa, as
the warrant charged, but Robert G. Cross
man.
The case proceeded for trial and Deputy
Sheriffs Gribben and Osborne were called
to the witness stand. They both de-
soribed their call Saturday evening to
3l3 Fore street, the place alleged to be
kept by Crossman. where they found a
quantity of bottled beer.
MIR. Meaher here asked the deputies II
they knew positively that Intoxicating
liquors were ON the premises at Cross
mans place at the moment the warrant
was issued for search.
Lawyer Meahsr addressed the court.
| urging that his client be discharged on
the ground that the law plainly says that
itsmust be known that liquor is ON the
premises before a warrant for the search
can be issued.
Mr.. Crossman- took the stand and testi-
fled that hs ordered some "Uno" beer
from q bottling establishment and that
by some mistake two double cases of
lager beer had been delivered at his shop
instead of what he had ordered. He had
not opeEed the case before 1t was seized.
MIR. Crossman was asked by his coun-
sci what hour these cases were left at his
place, and he replied that 1t was about
o O'Clock in the evening.
MAY 1t please the court" pleaded Mr..
Meaher there is the undisputed testimony
that this beer was delivered at his place
at O'Clock.
Mr.. Allen, attorney for the county,
| asked MIR. Meahsr where the decision
| might be found. MIR. Meaher expressed
surprise that MIR. Allen was not familiar
with the decision and gave the names of
| two or three attorneys who knew about
the decision. MIR. Allen said he was un-
| able to find the decision In the Maine
Reports.
On request of Mr.. Meaher, Judge Hill
withheld his decision until this morn
ing.
Henry j. Lassage, Martin Sullivan and
James Hunter were each fined 500 and
costs on search and seizure. and appealed.

In years.
The acoustic properties Of the court
room have long been a source of annoy
ance to the jadge. jurors. witnesses and
spectators Many attempts have been
made to remedy this defsct Sheets were
stretched across the top Of the room at
one time without effect and then wires
were strung from one side to the other
to break the sound waves before they are
lost In the depths Of the ceiling. The
wires when tried before were not satisfac-
tory and were removed after time. Now
eleven large size wires about four feet
apart have been strung across the top of
the room and 1t Is hoped that they will
improve the acoustic properties of this
room at least little.

OBITUARY.
THOMAS A. oAkEs.

Thomas A. Cakes. who was recently
drowned, was every inch man." He
had saved others from drowning, but
could not save himself. He had stood for
many year on the bridge and drawer of
the Grand Trunk railway, at danger
point. more responsible post than direc-
tor of bank, and never O train went
wrong or life was lost, when and where
this faithful sentinel stood watch and
guard. Not only was he faithful there
but everywhere he stepped or stood, In
all his relations towards his brother man.
He cared not to buy cheap but was con-
tent to pay the fair market price and
let his eighbor live
He said "nothing contrary to truth and
did nothing contrary to Justice"
Mr.. Cakes resorted to none of the
fenesse of social diplomacy to make it ap.
pear that he was better man than he
really was. He did not pose as a saint and
made no false admission that he was a
poor unworthy worm of the dust, but
stood up In his manhood and vindioated
the same by upright conduct and
straightforward living.
He was TO no extern influenced by thai
public opinion which discriminates In
favor of the successful prize winners In
life. but against that great majority
whose labor builds civilization and pro-
| notes the happiness of mankind. He
courageously stood by his princip les and
his friends at all times, in sunshine and
in storm.
Mr.. Oakes was an obscure man In the
sense that he did not occupy command.
ing position or attract the attention Of
the great public. /. But he was better
man and did more good and less harm
than many another who stands in the
glare of the public gaze in the marts of
business. He had nothing which he had
not earned and therefore he had nothing
which did not honestly belong to him.
He owed no great legacy to the public
and had none to give.
1t is well sometimes, when true case
| affords the opportunity. like the present.,
to place leaf or flower upon the
coffin of poor man, and adman pub
lie opinion of Its too often mistaken full

Can Vinita Stand a Reproduction of
Last Nights Performance.

That Vinita people know the
real thing from fake was demon
strated last night at the opera
house. All the sporting and a
good part of the semi-sporting
element assembled to witness
grand fistic carnival, wherein was
to be introduced the leading pugil-
istic light Of the southwest, but as
is usually the case, saw nothing
that could not be excelled by any
two of Prof Dugger's proteges
Sol Ketchum and an Oklahoma
product, Wiferd by name, gave
an excellent reproduction of the
school boy quarrel, and a trio of
colored sluggers came in for a
share Of the literally bestowed
jeers and cat-calls. The price of
admission was 25 und 80 cents,
but for some reason the parquet
and dress circle was not overly
crowded; the balcony, however,
represented about $50, which goes
to prove that "a sucker is born
every minute"

1 Warm Water Lake.

A most remarkable discovery
has been made by party of en-.
gineers who were sent out in the
interest of the proposed Idaho
Midland railroad. Near the Boise
Blaine county line they camped
on a lake in which they bathed.
One Of the more ventures0me OF
the party swan out a considera-
BILE distance when he encountered
a current of warm water. The
party built a raft and went out to
investigate. They discovered
that body Of hot water was be-
ing belched up in the middle OF
the lake. They let down a rope
over $50 feet long, with a rock
red to the end, and it did
not touch bottom. Outside the
hot water area the depth OF the
lake is only about twenty-five fet,
and the water is cold-moderately
so near the heated eircumfer-
ence, but almost too cold to bathe
in nearer the shore.
When the rock was pulled up
it was found to be too hot to lay
hands on. A thermometer was
then sent down. attached to the
rock, and il showed a temperature
of over 100 degrees. The lake is
believed to be over a crater of
redhot rocks. A more extended
investigation is to be msde as
soon as possible.
