General DEN, and

of the WeIl-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.

A HORSES TOE NAILS.
His Hoofs Play the Part and Grow a
Third of an Inch a Month.

Few persons realize that horse's hoof
is really the same thing as the toe nails
of human beings or of animals having
toes. The horn of hoof grows just as
a toe nail does.
The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod
horses than in those wearing shoes, and
it grows faster in horses which are well
groomed and we'll fed. But on an aver
age the horn grows about third Of an
inch a month.
Hind hoofs grow faster than fore
hoofs The toe of the hoof being the
longest part, it takes longer for the horn
to grow down there than at the heel.
For instance, the toe will grow entirely
down in from eleven to thirteen months,
while the heel will grow down in from
three to five months.
As the new horn grows out any cracks
or defects in the old gradually work
down to where they can be cut off, just
as with human finger nails you can
watch the progress of a bruise from the
root to the tip.-New York Sun.

Seattle Fair Bill May Not Get BY Its
House Opponents.
Washington, March s.-The mem
bers of the Washington congressional
delegation are somewhat concerned over
the manifest uniriendIiness shown by
the Republican leaders in the house
toward the Alaska Y ukon- Pacific expo
sition bill. While they feel reason
ably certain that they will ultimately
secure an appropriation for government
buildings and exhibits. they realize
that the opposition of the strong mem
OF the house is likely to make it difficult
to get as much money as they really
need, and they believe that further
reduction in their bill will be iniur-
ious.
When the senate passed the Piles
bill it went to the house, and should
have been referred to the committee on
industrial arts and expositions, before
which the Humphrey bill was pending
Instead it was referred to the commit
tee on ways and means on the lame ex
cuse that the bill contained a provision
authorizing the admission, free OF duty
of exhibits from foreign nations Thi
conn ittee is antagonistic to the bill.

ATTEMPT ON
POLICE CHIEF
Anarchist Tries to XII ShIppy. Of
Chicago Force.
Shot by Chief After Wounding Four
Persons-shippy Saved by Quick
ness and Sons Brave Conduct
Dead Man Had Plotted Long for
Chiefs Life.

Chicago, March 3.-The would be
assassin OF Chief of Police George NJ.
shippy was last night identified as Laz-
arus Averbuch, a Russian student Of
presumably anarcnistic tendencies.
Chief Sbippy, attacked in his home,
No. 81 Lincoln place, at $3.50 g. M
yesterday by Averbuch. shot and killed
the latter, but rot until his assailant
had stabbed him in the arm and shot
and dangerously wounded Harry Ship
py, son Of the police official, and had
wounded James Foley, member Of
the police department detailed as
driver for his superior.
The younger Shippy was said at
late hour last night TO have a good
chance of recovery. Neither OF the
other men was dangerously hurt.
Averbuch's attempt upon the chiefs
life was the fourth effort he had made
to accomplish his purpose. Twice on
Sunday he visited the house, bur was
unsuccessful in finding his intended
victim at home. At o'clock yesterday
morning he made his third appearance,
but was informed by servant that the
chief could not be seen till 9 O'Clock.
When he returned at 8 O'Clock the chief
was on the point Of leaving for HE
office. When admitted at the front door
Averbuch handed the chief an envelope
bearing his name and address, but the
latter, having heard of the previous
visits to his home, suspected that
something was wrong and seized him
by the arms. The envelope which was
found later to be only ruse to gain
entrance, contained only a-blank sheet
OF paper. The quickness with which
the chief acted upon his suspicion
doubtless saved his life. Averbuch,
though slight in build, proved in bis
desperation almost a match for the
chief, who is much larger, and the
latter found himself unable to hold
his assailant and search him for weap.
ors at the same time. He therefore
called to his wife, who was in the mex
room, asking her to ascertain whether

Before Averbuch could fire again, Jane
Foley, the chiefs driver, attracted b
the shooting, ran to the door and seize

loose from the embrace and fired
shot, which pierced Foley's hani.
. Thereupon both NJ. Foley and Nj
Shippy emptied their Ievolyers int
