h GIRL SHOOTS AT JUDGE
Fired a Bullet at Judge Mcdonald
While Court Was In Session.
Rssa Well, The Would-be Assassin
q Disappointed Litlgant-w Ought
to Have Got Him" She Said.

81. Louis, Jan. 8.-Just after Judge
], A. Mcdonald, Of the circuit court
had convened court Wednesday morn
ing, Miss Rosa Wiel suddenly rose
from among the spectators and fired
point blank with a revolver at the
Judge. The bullet missed him. She
was disarmed and arrested. She was
q htigant in a case concerning a
disputed inheritance that was tried
before Judge Mcdonald two months
ago.
Rosa We'll, accompanied by her
older sister, Clara We'll, entered the
court room a few minutes before
court convened and quietly took seats
on the second spectators bench back
Of the railing. Their appearance at
tracted no attention and they sat
quietly watching the proceeding as
Judge Mcdonald entered from his
private chamber and took his seat on
the bench. Motions we're offered in
q pending case and an attorney mad
started to address the court when
Rosa Well, without warning, stood up
with a levelled revolver and fired at
Judge Mcdonald. F. L. Wetzel, a
witness, sitting nearest her seized
her before she could fire a second
time and several other persons near
by sprang to the woman and
wrenched the revolver from her
hand. She maintained remarkable
composure and said in calm tone,
"I ought to have got him." Deputy
Sheriff Frank Burns took both wo-
men into custod.
Judge Mcdonald did not arise from
his seat during the excitement.
Take that woman out of the court
room" he said to Deputy Sheriff
Burns and when the woman had been
led from the room and order re-
stored the Judge turned to several at
itorneys who were waiting to make
motions and said: Proceed, gentle
men,"

The Spirit of Winter.

The Spirit Of Winter is with us,
making its presence known in many
different ways-sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and
binding storms. To many people 1t
seems to take delight in making bad
things worse, for rheumatism twists
harder, twinges sharper, catarrh be-
comes more annoying, and the many
symptoms Of scrofula are developed
and aggravated. There is not much
poetry in this, but there is truth, and
it is a wonder that more people don't
get rid Of those ailments. The medi-
cine that cures them-Hood's Sarsa-
parilla-is easily obtained and there
is abundant proof that its cures are
radical and permanent.

New York. Nov 2s.-Serious
freight congestion threatens all for
eign shippers because of unprecedent-
ed homeward rush of foreigners. The
eastward bound steerage travel during
the past six weeks has been I'M
parallelcd and the demand for ac-
commodations has been so great that
bookings have been closed weeks in
advance of sailings. The Main of the
North German Lloyd line. which sail
ed on Thursday, carried 1855 steerage
passengers and even UP to the minute
of sailing there were hundreds of
passengers waiting on the piers for
accommodations. Bookings for steer
age on the Seydlitz. of the same line,
which IS to sail Wednesday next. have
been closed for several days and no
more steerage tickets are being sold
for the koenig Albert, which will sail
November 80 for Mediterranean ports.
European freight at this time of
year is very heavy and with the
enormous increase in steerage travel
many lines are finding it difficult to
handle it. European shipments now
consist largely of apples, of which
1870 barrels have been exported so
far this season. The Main carried
5000 barrels and 1900 boxes of APP
pies. These apple shipments will like
" continue until after the holidays,
and as it is perishable freight the
steamship companies try to handle it
even to, the exclusion of other BUSH
ness. The eastward bound steerage

Twelve long tables had been pre-

forty banqueters. Carl L. Cooper OF

and he made his speech interesting
and witty, as well as eloquent. w. r.
Stubs was enthusiastically received
and his discussion of Industrial. Com

closely followed.
George E. fuckers speech upon ga

to setting forth the merits of a primary

Trufb and
Quality,

appeal to the 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.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and it's 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.
