Murdered and
Bodies Burned

Salem, Ore, Dec. s. News of che
murder of four presons on ranch,
near Maoleay. has reached here. The
bodies of Mrs. Casteel, her daughter,
aged about "a her son, aged about 10,
and the foreman Of the ranch, q man
named Montgomery, aged about 80,
were discovered in the burned ruins Of
their abode on what ia known as the
Hurst ranch.
Just how they were killed may never
be known, owing 20 the oharred condi-
ton Of the bodies, but from the fact
that a shotgun and bloodstained hatch
ct were found near the place it ia sur
missed that those weapons were used in
the slaughter. There is some suspicion
IS to the identity OF the murderersand
the motive for the crime, but from the
best evidence at hand it wound seem
thatsth killing was done by tramps
bent on robbery, who afterward fired
theshouse 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 not
is not known.

General Demand

OF the Wel1-Informed OF the World has
always been for a simple. pleasant

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.,

the formal selection of Joseph G. Can.
non to be speaker of that body and the
designation by the democrats Of John
Sharp Williams IS their leader were
occasions for ovations for those gentle.
men. The speaker received as warm
reception from the minority as he did
from his own party. The appearance
of William }. Bryan on the floor Of
the house also was the occasion for en-
thusiastic cheering by democrats.
When the adoption Of the rules for
the government Of the house during the
Sixtieth congress came up, the rules Of
the last congress were opposed by John
Sharp Williams and he was Joined in
the opposition by democrats and by d
single republican, Mr.. Cooper Of Wis
