left It unconscious under the sofa.

Ceremony Of Sect Of erahmins Ia
Honor Of Gods Of Fire and Water.

Six thousand Hindus and select
few English officials have recently wit
messed in the neighborhood Of Madras
o remarkable religious ceremony, the
principal actors being Soivrastas, q
sect of Brahmins.
The festival was called 1.-The march
through fire." and 1t is appropriately
enough named. The proceedings were
in honor of Brahma and Vishnu, the
GODS OF water and fire.
Preparations for the ceremony had
been going on for a month. A trench
% feet long and 10 feet deep was dug,
and IN It @ FIRE was klndled. At sun
rise 20 fanatics, who were to demon
strate their asbestos nature, slowly
marched around the furnace bearing
the curious idols. The Soivrastas were
clothed in yellow tunics,. and without
hesitation entered the IRE trench sing
ing hymn, the refrain Of which was
sgCyinda! GOvipde!"

appeal to the Well-Informsd In every
walk Of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable 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 il is the best Of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that Il cleanses,
swcetens 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.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as 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
gsts.

MANY-SIDED CAREER OF MAYOR
PATTTSON OF COLFAX.

Colfax, Wash, Sept. 1.-THE fol-
lowing correspondence relating to
Mayor John Pattison, candidate for
governor on the democratic ticket, is
of interest:
The Colfax executive is well
known all over Whitman county,
both personally and by reputation.
The record of Mayor Pattison's life
since he ran away from home at the
age of IA reads more like a page
from a tale by some writer of boys
stories than a recital of actual fact.
He has been newsboy, bootback, mes
senger boy, cabin boy, sailor, fisher
man, prospector, lumberjack, cow
boy, a laborer in railroad construc-
ton work, farmer, hotel proprietor
and lawyer There is hardly field
of human endeavor but what he has
invaded. His hands have been hard
ened on hoe and hazard; he is master
of three crafts and can follow copy
on as many more.
Mayor Pattison was born in AL
bany, n. Y, on January 13, 1859.
He passed through the grade schools
of the city, and when about IA years
of age he ran away from home to
try his fortune for himself. After
numerous adventures by land and
sea he finally landed in Colfax in
April, 1881, as a member Of one of
the Oregon Improvement company's
construction crews. which were then
from Texas Ferry to Colfax, now op-
Grated by the o. r. e y. company.
In the fall of 1891, after the rail
way was completed to Colfax, which
was the terminus for several years,
he took up a homestead II miles
west of ColfaX near the Palouse
river, where he remained until he
committed the claim in 1888. At
ter leaving his ranch he engaged in
the hotel business in ColfaX with Joe
Ryan until 1885, when he entered
into partnership with George w. La
rue in the real estate business.
In 1886 he was elected a terrific
rial justice of the peace. position

time he studied law under Mark A.
