Mr.. Williams is an interesting and-the
interviewer decided when he walked out
Of the hotel with the democratic leaders
arm about his shoulder-a lovable man.
But he declined to be quoted on such poIit-
icsl remarks as he let fall and his desire
is respected.
Rather below the medium height, with
gray moustache and hair. gray. rather
languid eyes, firm, stern lips-this is a pic
ture of the physical John Sharp Williams.
His manner is very deliberate and when
he talks his speech has this quality. Once
he consumed two eggs in silence between
two closely related sentences.
After the embargo placed upon political
talk he said something very complimentary
about Nebraska.
Il thought our country, the Yazoo valley
in Mississippi, was the finest IN the world"

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well 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.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its 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
psts.

MAN SHOOTS SELF FOR WOMAN
I. J. Kramer Fires Bullet Over Loss Of
His Friend.
SHE TAKES UP WITH HIS RIVAL
Woman Ia Placed Under Arrest and
DIRnifests Little Concern in the
Action of Her Dying
SuItOF.

Ignatius ]. Kramer. 1923 L~eavenworth
street, Omaha, foreman Of the Gate City
Malt works, shot himself just ahunae the
heart at 10 a, m. Friday. at Twenty-ninth
and b streets, South Omaha. He went into
the company's office alone and turned the
weapon on himself in a fit Of dependency
over the love which Edith Johnson denied
him. He was lying in a dying condition
at the South Omaha hospital at last re-
ports, with a bullet wound passing en-
tirely through his lungs above the heart
and out his back. Strangely, he never
lost Consciousness. and was able to talk
easily to all who questioned him. His
pain was great and the hospital authorities
kept him under opiates. He told this story
to Detective Shields:
MY parents live in Newark, n, ]. I
have been foreman at the malt works for
some time. l have been keeping company
with Miss Edith Johnson for the last four
months. A few days ago a man named
Mike Doll. who works at the Krug brewery,
robbed be Of her by telling her that
l was a loafer and a dead-beat. don't
blame her for IT. Yes, l did the shooting
myself"
DR.. A. H.. Koenig, who was in attend
ance, said he held out no hope whatever of
a recovery.
Miss Edith Johnson, who lives at 1ll5
North Twenty-fourth street, South Omaha,
when appraised OF the attempted suicide,
bluntly exclaimed, Well what do you think
Of that?"
She seemed little affected by the news,
but said she had been keeping company
in "a kind OF a way" with Kramer for some
time.
Two or three days ago we had a DIFF
ference. but OF that l have nothing to say.

Tn woman was much more concerned
when Detective Shields of South Omaha
arrived and placed her under arrest on
charge OF vagrancy. The detective says he
has proof that Kramer supported Miss
Johnson during the four months OF their
acquaintance. While she sat in the South
Omaha city jail, Kramer dying at the hos
pital, called for her to come to him. She
expressed no great desire to go. Chief
Briggs escorted her TO see him.
