A Purgatiye Pleasure.

If you ever took DeWitt's Little
Early Risers for billiousness or con-
stipation you know what pnrgative
pleasure is. These famous little pills
cleanse the liver and rid the system of
all bile without producing unpleasant
effects. They do not grippe, sicken or
weaken, but give tone and strength to
the tissues and organs involved. W..
II. Howell, Of Houston, Texas, says:
"No better pill can be used than Little
Early Risers for constipation, sick
headache, ETC." Sold by Nick Doffing,

So far as is known here Mr.. Benedict
did not recover consciousness after his
accident His injuries necessitated the
removal of both feet and after he had
withstood the shock Of those operations
It was hoped he would recover. How
serious his other injuries, which were
numerous, may have been is not known
here The situation Of the Benedict fam
lily is particularly unfortunate, as they
had been IN Los Angeles but few
weeks and were almost entirely unac-
quainted in the city.
The family consists now of Mrs. Julia
Benedict and the five children, none of
whom are over thirteen years of age
The youngest is but a year and a half
old. They viii likely return to Illinois
which was the old home of both Mr.
and Mrs. Benedict. 1t is believed thar
Mr.. Benedicts affairs are in excellent
condition as he had just closed out his
business here and had not reinvested to
any considerable extent in California
The amount of his insurance is not
known. it being divided among several
companies and fraternal orders.

told tersely in the letter of dismissal
signed by Postmaster General Payne
late yesterday afternoon and made pub
lie last night. The letter is as. fOllows
washington, April q, 1so3-Ion. Jas
N. Tyner, assistant attorney general for
the postoffece department.
Sir:-You are hereby removed from
the office of assistant attorney general
for the postofice department.
7 deem it proper to give you the rea-
sons for this summary action on the
part of the department. Early in the
month of March / communicated to
YOU, through a mutual friend. request
for your resignation After a painful
interview with you and a more painful
one with Mrs Tyner. consented to
modify the demand for your resignation
so that it might take effect on May 1,
1903; with the proviso, however, that
you were given leave of absence from
the time of the acceptance Of the resig-
ton to the date of its taking effect,
with the understanding that you were
not in any way to undertake to dis
charge the duties of the office.
Late yesterday afternoon Mrs Tyner
came to the Office Of the assistant at
torney general for the postofflce depart
ment entering in the regular way. and
went through the main once TO the pfl-
vate office, closing the door behind her.
She then unlocked the door entering
from the public hall into the private
room and admitted her sister Mrs
Barrett. whose son was IOIIuGl1y d.
sistant in your office, and whose con-
duct is now under investigation by the
! department She also admitted, in the
same manner, Mr. G. G. Hammer, an
expert in the employ of the Mosler Safe
company with whom she had made an
i arrangement to meet her at the depart
ment. At her direction Mr. Hammer
opened the safe in the room, and she
took therefrom all papers, records and
articles of every kind and carried them
away with her.
Immediately upon learning what had
been done ] directed the fourth assist
ant postmaster general to send two in
spectors to your house to demand, IL
1 the name of the postmaster general. the
delivery to them of any papers. docu-
ments or other materials which had
been abstracted from the safe. This
demand was refused by Mrs. Tyner. and
she likewise refused to permit the In
spectors to see you or to see and ex-
anime the papers in her presence Mrs.
Tyner further stated to the postOfice in
spectors that she committed this act
with your knowledge and by your di-
rection. Further comment on this
transaction on my part, is not neces-
sary-
The facts in the case will be sub
mitted to the attorney general Of the
! United States for such action in the
premises as he may deem proper.
Very respectfully.
