SHOT DOWN BY CRANK

New York, Nov. 9.-Edward- u.
Morgan, postmaster of New York City,
who was wounded in the abdomen
this morning by bullet fired by r.
H. NJ. Mackay, an eccentric English
photographer, who then committed
suicide, was resting well tonight and
unless complications develop he will
recover.
The shooting occurred at One Hun
bred and Forty-sixth street, only a
short distance from Mr.. Morgan's
home. He was on his way down town
at the time.
An investigation of the life and rec
ord OF Mackay reveals that he was
of a morbid nature and a former in
mate of an asylum in Worcester.
Mass. That his act was premeditated
Is made certain by letter which he
left, but aside from fancied gricv-
ance against Mr. Morgan and the post
office authorities concerning the hand
ling of his mail, nothing has come TO
light to indicate why he should have
sought to murder the postmaster. His
clothing when searched gave up be-
tween thirty and forty smokeless cart
ridges, heavy slung shot, knife
with a four-inch blade and clasp
knife.

General Demand

Ct the Well Informed Of tho World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because it's COM

acceptable to the system and gentle, yet

In supplying that demand with it's ex-
ccllent 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.

Real Self-Possession.

Not long ago young couple entered
a railway carriage at Sheffield and
were Immediately put down as a bridal
pair. But they were remarkably self
possessed and behaved with such
sang-froid that the other passengers
began to doubt if their first surmise
was correct after all.
AS the train moved out, however,
the young man rose to remove his
overcoat, and a shower Of rice fell out,
while the passengers smiled broadly
But even that did not affect the
youth, who also smiled, and, turning
TO his partner, remarked audibly:
"By Jove, May! I've stolen the bride
groom's overcoat! "-Tatler.

EAGER TO WORK
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
Is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold Of one, and all endeavor becomes
burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes Mich lady, my
stomach and nerves began to give me
much trouble.
AT times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times had no appetite
whatever. The food / took did not
nourish me, and l grew weaker than
ever.
Il lost interest in everything, and
wanted to be alone. ] had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trifle
would upset me and bring on a vio-
lent headache. Walking across the
room was an effort and prescribed ex-
ercise was out of the question.
II had seen Grape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what / read, at

II l were literally starving, began to
eat Grape-Nuts.
II had not been able to work for
a year, but now after two months on

EX-SENATOR KILLED
IN A STREET DUEL
cARMAcK OF TENNESSEE SHOT
DEAD AT NASHVILLE.
IT WAS THE RESULT OF POLITICS
Bitter State Campaign Has Bloody
Sequel.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 9.-Former
Senator Edward Carmack, editor OF
the Tennesean, was shot and killed
this afternoon about o'clock on Sew
enth avenue North, in front of the
Polk flats, by Robin Cooper, a son or
Colonel Duncan B. Cooper. Mr.. Car
mack was going north on Seventh
avenue in front of the flats and Col
onel Cooper and his son Robin were
approaching Seventh avenue on Union
street. Soon after they came in sight
of one another the shooting began,
Robin Cooper, 1t is said, firing two
shots and Senator Carmack one. Col
onel Duncan B. Cooper, It is said,
drew his pistol but did not fire.
Senator Carmack fell to the ground,
dying instantly. Robin Cooper was
shot in the right shoulder but was
not badly hurt.
It is understood that the trouble rs
one of the results of recent Demo-
cratic gubernatorial primary In which
Carmack was defeated Carmack had,
since he became editor of the Ten
nessean, been quite caustic In criti-
cising what he called the Democratic
machine and had printed several edl-
torials about Colonel Cooper. Within
the past few days, It is asserted, Col
onel Cooper notified Carmack that
these editorials must cease. This
morning another editorial referring to
the colonel appeared in the paper and
this is supposed TO have been the i'm
mediate cause Of the trouble.
As Senator Carmack fell at the
edge of the street, Colonel Duncan
Cooper put his arm around Robin
Cooper and both walked a few feet
down Seventh avenue to DR.. r. G.
Forts office, where the slight wound
in Robins shoulder was examined ard
treated. An ambulance carried the
body of Carmack TO an undertaking
establishment. The pistol of Carmack,
a 32-caliber, was lying at his side with
two of the chambers empty when the
body was picked up and was turned
over to an officer.
Young Cooper was later carried to
a hospital and Colonel Cooper is held
at police headquarters. He has made
no statement. Robin Cooper is a
practicing attorney, q years old and
single.

Not GUILTY.,

Willie is little boy who Is noted In
his neighborhood for his cruelty to
animals. The latest story is that just

cold-bloodedly cut off a kittens tail.
One Of the older girls was reproaching
him for his cruelty and telling him
what a wicked thing he had done.
He fatty denied doing anything Of
the sort.

a story?" the girl asked. Everybody
knows you did it."

when pressed further. II didn't do
any such a thing. 1t wath dog"
