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
tho 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.

'I have been treated by doctors for,

is NOT TO BE HANGED
BOARD OF PARDoNs ACTS ON
REcoMMENDATIoN OF
JUDGE WOOD.

Boise, Idaho.-The State Board OF
Pardons Wednesday commuted the
sentence of Harry Orchard. who was
under sentence to hang next Friday
for the murder of former Governor
Frank Steunenberg, to Imprisonment
for life. The board consists of Gov
ernor Gooding, Secretary of State
Lansdon and Attorney General GU
heen.
Frank Wyman, appointed by the
court to represent Orchard, appeared
before the board and presented for
NAL argument in behalf of his client,
basing his plea solely on the legal
status of the case and maintaining as
was held by Judge Wood in recon-
mending clemency, that In making Or
chard states witness the state obli-
gated itself to extend consideration to
him in. return. No one appeared to
oppose the proposed communication and
by the unanimous vote of the board
clemency was extended.
Orchard to the last was opposed to
having the sentence interfered with.
Only Tuesday ne said to the attorney
that he hoped efforts to save him
from the gallows would fail.
Orchard was arrested two days af-
ter the assassination of former Gov
ernor Steunenberg at Caldwell, Idaho,
December 80, 1905. and a few weeks
later, while confined in the Idaho peni-
tentiary, confessed his guilt to James
MCFARLAND of the Pinkerton detective
agency, at the same time asserting
that he was employed to commit the
crime by officers Of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. AS a result of his
confession Charles H. Meyer, presi-
dent, William D. Haywood, secretary
treasurer, Of the Western Federation
Of Miners, and George A. Pettibone,
were arrested in Denver and brought
to Idaho to answer the charge of MUIR
der
John Simpkins, another member OF
the federation, was also indicted, and
Is still fugitive. Haywood and Pet
tibone were acquitted after memorable
trials, in which Orchard told a story
of wholesale assassination which
shocked the world
Following the trial of Pettibone the
case against Meyer was dismissed. Or
chard, who was indicted separately.
when arraigned, after his confession,
stood mute, and the court directed that
plea of not guilty be entered. His
case was continued from term to term
until April 10th of this year, when 1t
was called at Caldwell and he asked
permission to change his plea.
The court granted the request and
Orchard pleaded guilty to murder in
the first degree.
In pronouncing the sentence of death
a week later Judge Wood recon-
mended that the Board of Pardons
commute the sentence, saying he was
firmly convinced that Orchard had
told the whole and exact truth at the
trials of Haywood and Pettibone and
that he was therefore. for the service
he had rendered the state, entitled to
clemency.

AND the sueon were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples,
With the sarnestness Of speech
As the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,
So they beat against the State House,
So they surged against the door,,
And the mingling of their voices
Made harmony profound,
Till the quiet street of chestnuts
Was all turbulent with sound,
@Will they do it7" Dare they do it7"-
"Who u spsakingf Whats the news7'
"What of Adamsa"-"What of shsrman7"-

Mon and women, maid and child;
And the July sun in heaven
On the scene looked down and smiled
Tho same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain
Now beheld the soul In freedom
All unconquered, rise again.
So they surged against the State House,
While, all solemnly inside,
Sat the continental Congress-"
Truth and reason for their gaide,
Der simple scroll debating-
Which, though simple it might be-
Yet should shake the cliffs of England
With the thunders of the free.
At the portal of the State House,
Like some beacon in storm,
Round which waves are wildly beating,
Stood boyish, slender form;
With his eyes fixed on the steeple
And his ears agape with greed
To catch the first announcement
OF the "signing" of the deed.
Aloft, In that high steeple,
Sat the bellman, old and gray
He was weary of the tyrant
And his iron-sceptered sway,
So he sat, with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell,
When his eye should catch the signal,
The happy news to tell.
Seei seeI The dense crowd quivers
Through all its lengthy line,
As the boy beside the portal
Looks forth to give the signi
With his small hands upward lifted,
Breezes dallying with his hair,
Hark with deep, clear intonation,
Breaks his young voice on the air.
flushed the peoples swelling murmur,
List the boys strong, joyous cryl
Ring he shouted, 'RingI GrandpaI
Ringl OIL Ring! for Liberyi"
And straightway, at the signal,
The old bellman lifts his hand,
And sends the good news making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted what rejoicingi
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang of freedom ruffled
The calm gliding Delaware
How the bonfires and the torches
Illumined the nights repose,
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Fair Liberty arose.
The old bell now Is silent,
And hushed Its iron tongue,
But tho spirit it awakened
Still ives-forever young,
And while we greet the sunlight
On the Fourth of each July,
Well ne'er forget the bellman,
Who, 'twixt tho earth and sky,
Rung out OUR INDEPENDENCE;
Which, please God, shall neper die.
