appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy OF
known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

The notion that meat is necessary
Nfor real strength and the foundation

Excessive meat eaters are usually

they are not able to fully digest their

Mean Revenue.

A man had been very badly treated
by the proprietors of boarding
house. and when in temporary finan-
cial difficulties had been forced to
leave. Some time later, smiled upon
by tickle fortune, he achieved success
and prosperity as popular dentist,
and soon found means to revenge his
former landlady's slight. The method
he adopted was simple but extremely
effective, quite running the business Of
his enemy. Directly opposite the
boarding house he opened his new
dental establishment, and upon the
largest window in bold letters ap-
peared the following notice: Steel
pointed boarding house teeth a spe-
cialty!"

One Thing Held Him Back.

There was racket of some kind
in our house last night" said the man
who lives in fiat building. Screams
came from one of the rear flats and
everybody was looking out the win
dows to see what the matter could be.
Various EXPLANATIONS and conjectures
were made by the rubbernecks and
soon several women were screaming
in sympathy. Presently out of the
awful din rose a deep masculine voice
exclaiming in evaporation and with
the manner of one feeling around in
the dark: I'D go for policeman if
! could find my pants."

BRADLEY VERDICT
The Jury Decides She Is Not Guilty
of the Murder of Sen
ator Brown.
THE CROWD OEMONSTRAT|vE
An Attempt Will Now Be Made to Sc
cure Part of the Murdered
Mans Estate for
Her Children.

Washington, Dec. 4.-"Not guilty"
was the verdict rendered Tuesday by
tie jury in the case of Mrs. Annie M.
Bradley, charged with the murder OF
former United States Senator Arthur
M. Brown of Utah, at a hotel in this
city on December last. Amid tho
applause of a crowd that filled the
courtroom, Mrs. Bradley, with tear
dimmed eyes, was discharged from
custod, and a trial that has evoked
national attention during the past
weeks was at an end.
Throughout it's deliberations the
jury, into whose hands the case was
o'clock Monday afternoon, practically
stood at II to l for acquittal until the
final ballot, when the lone juror, who
was holding out for some form of
punishment, Juror julius II. Prigg,
gave in and the verdict of acquittal
was agreed on
Justice Stafford admonished those
present to avoid any demonstration.
Meantime the jury waited to deliver
its verdict, Foreman James F. Fleeney
nervously clutching in his hand the
document that meant so much to the
frail and nerve-wrecked woman in the
prisoners chair
Gentlemen of the jury" asked the
clerk, have you reached verdict
1--WE have" answered the foreman.
What is your verdict is the de-
PENDANT guilty or not guilty?"
Every person in the courtroom,
from judge to spectator, almost
breathlessly awaited the answer
mot guilty" replied the foreman,
and mot guilty echoed everyone of
the jurors. For a moment, in the
tenseness of the excitement, not a
word could be heard, then the sus-
pense was over and a murmuring
''thank-God" from a group of women
who sat on the front bench was heard
through the courtroom and was the
signal for demonstration.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. 4.-Now
that she has been acquitted on the
charge of murder Mrs. Anna M. Brad
ley, through her attorneys and in be-
half of her children, will bring an
action to break the will OF the late
Senator Brown, whom she shot to
death IN Washington. Her friends
here say that such course has been
contemplated ever since the will was
opened. The contest will be based on
the written acknowledgment of Sen.
ator Brown that Mrs. Bradley's two
sons are his own. In his will Brown
expressly disavowed the paternity of
the two children and stipulated that,
even if they were his children, they
should receive nothing from his estate.
The greater part of the estate, amount
ing in all to some $4,000, was de.
vised to his son Max and his daughter
Alice.
The attack on, the will, which has al
ready been admitted to probate, will
not commence until Judge Powers re
turns from Washington.
