SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

the value OF obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles Of plants known to be

taste and acceptable 20 the system. II
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-
maneptly. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver aud bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t 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

met terrible death to-day IN the cage
of Bengal tiger.
1t was Nelson's duty to feed the
cubs at o'clock. Instead of opening
the door Of the cage he absent-mind-
eddy, it is supposed, opened the door
of the tigers cage. The blood thirsty
animal crouched in a corner until
Nelson was we'll inside the door. Then
it sprang upon him with roar, and
although he made a fearful struggle
the tiger bore him to the floor His
flesh was torn off in large chunks and
the tiger, maddened by the taste of
fresh blood, was about to begin eating
him alive when help arrived. Keepers
hurried to the scene with red hot irons
and while these were applied merciless-
ly to the tigers flangs, five revolver
shots were fired into the maddened
beasts head. Nelson managed to
crawl toward the door and was quick
ly dragged from the cage. He died in
a few moments. The tiger was not
seriously wounded. Nelson's home
was at Piqua, Ohio.

SIXTY MINERS BEYOND
REACH IN BURNING MINE.
SHAFT LOCATED AT CUMBER-
LAND VILLAGE.
SCUERS DRIVEN BACK,
AND COMPELLED TO FOREGO THEIR
EFFORTS TO SAVE THEIR
FELLOWS.

SEATTLE, Wash, February ia
special to the Post Intelligencer from
Victoria says:
What is feared will prove to be one
of the most horrible mine accidents
in the hosiery of the Dominion, took
place to-day at the Union mines AS
near as can be gathered the explosion
took place at ABOUT IL o'clock this
forenoon in No. shaft This partic-
ular shaft is situated in the village of
Cumberland. There were sixty men in
it when the explosion took place, and
not one escaped. The explosion ignit-
ed the mine, wrecking the shaft from
midway down to the bottom, and fill
ing it with a solid mass of rocks, earth
and timbers. The first explosion was
followed by several more while dense
volume of smoke pouring from the
vent holes indicated that fire as well as
gas was doing destructive work be-
low
As soon as possible after the acct
dent the men of the morning shift in
No. 5 shaft organized rescue party.
Ne. is situated about mile from No.
6. but the two workings are connected
by tunnel and through this channel
an attempt was made to help the I'M
fortunate fellows in the wrecked shaft
They had TO cut their way
many yards through the debris when
they encountered fire, which rendered
the place untenable and obliged the
party to desist.
The message came back by telephone
to the surface conveying the heart
breaking news to the relatives of the
imprisoned men, whose urging was
not necessary to induce the relief party
to return to their apparently hopeless
task. Overcome at last by gas and
smoke, they reluctantly withdrew
from No and commenced work on q
long cut from No. 4, the only other
means of reaching the men. Work on
this was prosecuted with the greatest
vigor until abatement of the fire in
No. 5 enabled them to once more re-
turn there.
The latest news is somewhat en-
couraging, it being stated that the fans
are again working. that the cage has
been sent down It's feet and still go
ing down in No. shaft
John Bryner. ex-manager OF the
Dunsmnir mines. said tonight that
scarcely any hope could be held out
for the men.

MICHAEL McQUAID, A YOUNG MAN
FROM MAINE, WINS LAURELS
IN NEW YORK.
A WOMAN AND TWO CHILDREN
CARRIED FROM THEIR HOME,
WHENCE HUSBAND AMI FAITH
Err HAD ESCAPED

NEW YORK, February 15.-Michael
Mccuaid, a young man from Bangor,
Maine, made a brave rescue of a wo-
man and her two children from a tene-
ment house fire to-day at 1888 Second
avenue. McQuaid, who was employed
in the building, started to arouse all
the people in it when the fire was dis
covered. He found Charles Bossi's
printing shop locked, but knowing that
the printers family lived in the rear,
he broke in the glass of the door. He
found Mrs. Bossi hystericaf from
fright, and with her night dress in
fame. McQuaid carried her to the open
air, where she cried out that her chill
dren would perish McQuaid tooff off
his coat, wrapped it around his head
and plunged into the fame and smoke
He returned in few moments. His
coat was not over his head this time,
but around two infants held in his
arms. His face and hair were exposed
to the fire and he came out minus his
eyebrows, his hair singed and his
cheeks blistered by the heat. He stag
gered to the sidewalk, put the babies
down at their mothers feet and faint
ed from exhaustion. Bossi, the hus-
band and father, had escaped by a
rear window.

THE P|T|FUL APPEAL
Of PRESIDENT KRUGER.
A HEART TOUCHING STATEMENT OF
THE AGiSO BURGHER'S
HOPES.
BEGs FOR AN ARBITRATOR.
TWO OF HIS SONS DEAD, TWO
MORE SUPPOSED TO BE
DEAD.

LONDON, February 15.-The Pail
Mall Magazine will publish February
Is an interview with Mr.. Kruger, in
part as follows:
"Wdll no one arbitrate? Will no
one give us a chance of defending our
selves? We may have done wrongly;
we have our faults and our weak
nesses. We declared war, but our
hands were forced, and we can prove it.
Get some one to judge between this
England and ourselves.
But the Lord will help us in the
end We shall win. 4 do not know
how or when, but We shall win at last. ;"
Mr.. Kruger says the Transvaal of
fered more reforms in one week than
an older country would make In forty
years, giving in on all points almost
TO the uttermost, but that the utter
most was seized upon as stumbling
block
Referring Ito his reception in Europe
which has bitterly disappointed him,
Mr.. Kruger says:
Il care nothing for flowers, nothing,
nothing. The people who send them
mean well and / am grateful, but
care nothing for them. What / want
is a fair hearing and justice. I ask for
Justice; we are little folk but we have
made great steps"
When asked why he came to Europe,
he said to the interviewer:
Il could net go out with the COM
mandoes as Mr. Steyn can. l am too
old, but may be of some use here"
Regarding Mrs Kruger, he said:
Il am sorry for her, too. l have a
deep sorrow for her, but I have far
more sorrow for my country. My
wife has her children. Six are still
with her. They were left with her in
her home. Two of my sons have died
on the battlefield. Two were captured.
l believe two more are dead also, as |
have not heard from them for two
months, and I know they are in the
thick of the fight.
''Thirty-one sons and grandsons l
have in the field, yet could not go on
commando. l have not heard from my
wife for sixteen days. but she has six
children with her and she is not to be
pitied"

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, February
15.-Junk thieves have been annoying
the railroads and persons along the
river for some time, but within the past
day several clues have been obtained
and arrests have been made which
will perhaps break up to some extent
the practice In this vicinity
-Four times within the past four
months the postoifice and store ae
Vienna have been entered and robbed.
Yesterday Bill Hawkins. alias Craig,
was arrested on q charge of stealing
junk from the Constitution and last
night Chief or Police Cook got a con-
feSSion from him, implicsting others.
Cook and Deputy Marshal Stout went
along the river and into che shanty
boats and arrested William Bennett
and Harry Eddy ana their wives, and
this afternoon Glenn Eddy was arrested.
all OF whom are alleged 10 have par
ticipated in the robbery OF the post
office.
A lot of rope which was stolen from
j. T. Clearly at Constitution, was found
in the Little kanawha river this after
noon, where 1t had been sunk 20 pre-
vent detection 1t was near the shan
~ boat of Bill Bennett. who was ar
rested for breaking into the Vienna
postoflice, and 1t is believed the crime
can be fastened on him.
About two hundred pounds OF brass,
stolen from the Ohio River and Bal
timore & Ohio railroads, was found
this morning in junk boat The
proprietor said that two boys had
tried to sell 1t TO him, but he would
not take it till they could tell him how
they got 1t. Warrants were sworn out
for the boys. IL these cases are fol-
lowed up it is thought IL will put a
stop to the practice of stealing junk.
