General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark.
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

AND STILL THEY GO.
Exodus to Europe Shows No Signs of
Abatement.

New York, Nov. 2S.-That the esti-
mate that so thousand emigrants will
leave New York this week for Eur
opean ports is far below the number
that will probably sail, is the opinion
expressed by Gustav H. Schwab, of
the North German Lloyd line. At least
SO, 200 and perhaps 10000 will sail ac-
cording to Mr.. Schwab's figures. The
Pennsylvania railroad alone brought
more than 1900 to New York today.
Immigration regulates itself and
needs no stimulus from the steamship
companies said Mr.. Schwab. When
times are good in America and there
is plenty of employment they come
over when there is a lack of work the
laborer returns to his own country.
Every steamer sailing yesterday was
filled to it's capacity with steerage pas
sengers and although the steerage rate
was again raised, this time from $3l
to $3S it made no difference with the
number of people demanding tickets.
Carrying passengers, even in the steer
age is more remunerative than carrying
freight, and a number of the small lines
are fitting up the holds of their ships
for the accommodation of passengers
and are leaving freight behind. Several
steamers that have heretofore carried
only freight are now carrying steerage
passengers. This was the case with
the Cambria of the Red Star line, which

PRISONERS HAVE TURKEY
Even II They Are in Jail 1t Is Thanks
giving for Them.

The twenty prisoners in the city Jail
got all that was coming to them today.
They were not required to work, and
the day will be counted regularly on
their time. Their dinner contained a
generous fragmen MT of turkey. and cram
berries on the side. This extra feed is
the result of Chief Eaton's generosity.
He paid the difference between feed, as
per contract, and turkey dinner, to
Coulter, the restaurant man who feeds
the city prisoners. Besides this, the
prisoners received fruit. The fruit was
purchased from the much advertised
kitty fund.- When the mayor ordered
the suspension of this fund several
weeks ago. there were several dollars
on hand, and they were not thrown
away. Some of them were used last
night to purchase the supply of fruit.

GAS TAKES SEVEN LIVES
Explosion in Rooming House
Causes $4,000 Property Loss.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 2S.-Seven
men are dead and two fatally injured
as the result of fire in a two story
| brick rooming house at HOP st. Louis
avenue, caused by an explosion of gas,
at an early hour this morning.
The seven victims of the disaster
were burned beyond recognition, and
| it is doubtful whether their identity
will ever be established. The room
ling house was patronized by transient
white railroad laborers, and as the
proprietor, Edward O'Connell kept no
register, he knew neither the names
of his guests nor the number of per-
sons in the place. O'Connell said that
his house would accommodate two
hundred men, but that he did not be-
Iieve there were more than so in the
rooms when the explosion occurred.
The explosion is believed to have been
caused by guest, who lighted, a
match in a room where gas had been
escaping.
The fire alarm was. turned in by
postoffice clerks at the Union railway
station, who heard the explosion al
though they were three blocks from
the scene. When the firemen arrived
the flames were burning so fierce1y
and the heat was so intense that they
found the work of fire fighting very
difficult. When the flames were suf-
ficiently subdued to permit of the fire
men entering the building there was
$50 much smoke in the rooms that the
firemen could not enter. When they
finally gained entrance to the building
they found the bodies of the victims
piled together in hallway on the Sec
ond floor. It was evident that the
men were overcome while seeking an
exit. The lower floor of the building
was occupied by saloon and barber
shop The loss on the building was
$4,000.
A thrilling rescue of an old man
was accomplished by F1remen r. F.
Jackson and w. l.. White. The man
was clinging to a window ledge on
the second floor. The firemen climbed
out on the cornice of an adjoining
building and being unable to reach
the man they spliced their belts and
threw one end to him. He caught it
and while the firemen braced them
selves with great peril to themselves.
the old man swung down and was
lowered to the ground safely.
George Gavin was taken out of the
building fatally burned and another
man, name unknown, was fatally in
iured by jumping from second story
Daniel Casey was taken out almost
SuffOcated, but revived.

FALSE SAYS STANNARD.
Replies to Mr.. fuckers Statement
About Sale of Tar.
Emporia. Kan, Nov. AZ, 1907.


To the Editor of the State Journal.
Concerning the reports during the
past two or three days of charges filed
against j. c. o. Morse, receiver of the
Uncle Sam Oil company, by H. II.
Tucker, L wish to make the following
statement in justice to Mr.. Morse.
Concerning his sale to me of $4,000
barrels of tar at 80 cents per barrel,
Mr.. Tucker knows If he knows any
thing about this matter, that his
could have been sold for twice the
money that it was sold for, is abso-
lutely false. He also knows that
had practically made arrangements to
his sales agent, Mr.. Mckinney, for IS
cents per barrel. The transaction was
made as follows: Mr.. Mckinney call
ed me over the telephone and offered
me the $4,000 barrels of tar at 43
cents per barrel. 1 told him 1 could
not use it at that price, but if he would
take 35 cents per barrel for 1t would
examine the tar and try to find a mar
ket for it. His reply was that ne
thought 35 cents too low, but for me
to go ahead and see if L could find
market for it. Accordingly, 1 sent my
representative, Mr.. F. w. Fem of
Chanute, whom advised of the entire
transaction at that time, to get sam
pie of the tar and had an analysis
made of it and succeeded in finding
market for a part of 1t. By this time,
had gone into the hands of the re-
ceiver. 1 called Mr.. Tucker over the
phone to consult him about this sale,
and he advised me of the receivership
and told me to see Mr.. Morse, which
L did,@but not until / had called On
Mr.. Morse three times did l succeed
in buying the tar; and in the mean
time / heard of Mr.. Morse making a
trip to Chicago to try to sell it. II
was also offered to me by another
party whom 1 presume Mr.. Morse HAD
asked to help him sell it, namely, the
Kansas City Oil Refining company.
A few days after Thought this tar,
1 bought 10000 barrels from the Erie
Refining company. 1 also bought fif-
teen carloads from the Paola Refining
company and one carload from the
Caney Oil Refining company, all at
the same price, 35 cents per barrel.
Mr. Tucker says something about
the Soldiers home at LeavenWorth
paying so cents per barrel, yet is not
fair enough to state that that price is
at Leavenworth and the freight from
the refineries must be deducted; that
it would take the Soldiers home ten
years to consume this tar If they
could burn it at all, which they coulo
not.
1 do not believe Mr.. Tucker, Mr..
Morse, or anyone else could have sold
this tar for any more money. Certain
it is that 1 would not have paid more
for it, and UP to the present time I
have not been able to dispose of it ali
at a profit.
Mr.. Tucker also knew that the tar
at Cherryvale was SO heavy that very
few people would use it, hence 1 say
his statements concerning this trans
action are false absolutely and / be-
lieve he knew them to be false when
he made them, and they were made
for the purpose of injuring Mr. Morse,
VIII ON he seems to have a grievance
against, / suppose because he could
not use him to his own advantage

Mrs. George Stech while she struggled
desperately with a tramp who attacked
her i'm her home near the county line.
Men in the homes of her nearest neigh
bors who fastened to get out teams
and run to the assistance of the woman
were too late to save Mrs. Stech or cap
ture her assallant. Poses with blood
hounds are searching the countryside
and there Is a chance that the tramp
will be lynched If captured.
Mrs. Stech says the tramp came to
her door and demanded admittance.
She was alone in the house with her g.
year-old girl and being frightened she
closed the door in the tramp's face and
locked It..
The man at once commenced to break
down the door. Mrs. Stech carried her
little girl to bedroom and locked her
In. She then ran to her telephone. and
rang to call for help, but before she
could speak the tramp had forced his
way in and seized her.
She dropped the receiver, leaving the
telephone open, and the Central operator
heard the first scream.
For half an hour the woman struggled
desperately with her assailant all over
the little living room. Eoch time she
found herself near the telephone she
screamed for help. In nearly every
home on the system to which her tele-
phone belongs her screams were heard.
The first Of her neighbors to arrive
found Mrs. Stech bound and uncon-
scious. The tramp had disappeared.
The men who started out to hunt him
down after hearing her story were
armed and said they would shoot him

CONTRACTOR ASKS
FOR A RECEIVER
Railroad Builder Declares He Is Being
Hampered In His Work and
Asks the Court for
Protection
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 25.-C. E..
Loss, who has the contract for grading
the Drain, Ore, branch of the Southern
Pacific, has asked for a receiver for
the Loss company and also asked the
railroad company to relieve him of the
Drain contract, alleging a conspiracy to
hamper him in completing the work.
Loss estimates the liabilities Of the
company at $4,000. and the assets in
cluding camp equipments, tools. tunnel
machinery and such property, at $65, 900.
The complications have grown out of
the arrest at Drain yesterday of A.
Emmons Of Portland, attorney for the
United Railways and C. e. Loss COM
pany. w. b. Reed, a private detective,
and ]. S. Holland a bookkeeper of the
Loss interests at Drain, on charges of
technical burglary.
The arrests were made at the instance
of T. ]. Tobin, in charge of the work
there, who refused to recognize per-
sonal order for the books and accounts
of the company, signed by Mr.. Loss.
Mr.. Emmons was released on furnish
ing bail in the sum of $25, while Reed
and Holland were held for $1,000.
