The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physi.
clans could sanction for family use
because its component 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
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
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-manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle

JAMESTOWN FAIR HAS CLOSED
In Order to Pay Creditors, Property
Must Sell for Two Million
Dollars.

Norfolk, Va.-The lights of the
jamestown exposition we're turned off
by President Tucker after formal
exercises Saturday night. and the ex-
position, which has been running since
April &c, came to an end.
President Tucker touching on the
financial phase of the exposition, said:
Besides the amount expended by
the exposition company, it is estimated
that there have been expended from
fother sources in the betterment of
this property from one to one and a
half million dollars.
Our Indebtedness consists of the
following:
"a mortgage of 100000; second
mortgage of 100000; balance due the
government, 100000; total, $4,000
600; so that if we can realize from
this property two-thirds of what has
been expended on it we will pay every
dollar of our Indebtedness.
In order to pay our creditors we
must find a purchaser who can pay
100000 for the property, and in or
der to pay the stockholders a pur
chaser who will pay $2,5OO,OOO."

Murdered and
Bodies Burned

Salem, Ore Dec. a. News OF The
murder of four presons on n ranch,
near Macleay, has reached here. The
bodies of Mrs. Casteel, her daughter,
aged about "a; her son, aged about 10,
and the foreman Of the ranch, man
named Montgomery, aged about 90,
we're discovered in the burned ruins of
their abode on what is known as the
Hurst ranch.
Just how they were killed may never
be known, owing to the charred condi-
ton of the bodies, but from the fact
that a shotgun and bloodstained hatch
ct were found near the place it is sur
missed that those weapons were used in
the slaughter. There is some suspicion
as to the identity of the murderersand
the motive for the crime, but from the
best evidence at hand it wound seem
that, the killing was done by tramps
bent on robbery, who afterward fired
theihouse to give the impression that
the victims had been accidently burned
to death. The family had about $4,000
but whether it was in the house or moi
is not known.

BLACK DAMP HORROR
THIRTY men KILLED In PENN
SYLVANIA COAL Mine.
Miner Is Said to Have Entered Mine
With an Open Lamp--Gas Found Is
So Poisonous No Human Being Can
Live In lt--Explosion Could Be
Heard for Miles Around.

Fayette City, Pa. Dec. S.-Between |
% and 80 miners, possibly more, are
entombed in the Naomi mine> of the
United Coal company. located three
miles west of this city, and there is
practically no hope that any Of them
are alive. The Imprisonment is due to
an explosion of black damp about 8
o'clock last night, soon after the night
force went to work.
II is said a miner entering an old
working with an open lamp caused the
explosion. Had the explosion occurred
on other than Sunday night more vic
Tins would have been entombed. The
mine employed from 275 to 300 regu
larry, about one-fourth of them driv-
ing entry at night, but on Sunday
nights only about one-half the night
force goes to work. The mine is of the
shaft type and the concrete sides of
the entry were broken down so as to
close the passage back a considerable
distance. About 100 feet from the en-
trance is located the first airshaft and
from this deadly gas is pouring in
great volumes. The gas found in mines
in this territory is so poisonous that
no human being can live in it for more
than a few minutes and it is believed
none of the entombed men are still
alive. One man, an unidentified for
eigner, managed to climb to the top of
the first airshaft, but dropped dead
there. No sign of life has come from
the others.
Just after the night force entered
the shaft there was a fash which
lighted up the mine and all around it.
There was roar as tons of coal and
slate crashed down the entries crowded
with workmen. Then utter darkness
followed the explosion putting out OF
business the lighting and air facilities
in the mine. The mine Immediately
filled with gases and several persons
persisted while running to get into the
fresh air.
The shock Of the explosion shook
buildings in Fayette City and could be
heard for miles. In the homes of min
ers the explosion fell like death sig
nal and emptied every miners cottage
in the vicinity. The occupants of these
men, women and children-form the
saddest picture in the scenes about the
mine this morning. The women anc
children are crying and stare will
hope at the seemingly fruitless worl
of rescue. The Naomi mine is one o
the oldest operated by the United Goa
company, which has its principal Office
in Pittsburg. 1t is one of the bigges
mines in the soft coal region and gav'
work to 300 men all the year round.
) The property loss will be enormou
as the mine was equipped at a cos
of thousands of dollars with all tn
up-to-date mine apparatus, such a
electric lights, electric coal cars AM
