The
General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component 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
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,

CoRTELYoU DENIES
Brands Report That He Is to Resign.
Also That Regarding Presidency OF
kniekerbocker Trust Company as
Absolutely Without Foundation.

Washington. Jan. 15-Secretary
Cortelyou was at his desk today. At
the White House it was said positive
ly that nothing whatever is known as
to the secretary's reported proposed
resignation.
Secretary Cortelyou's appearance at
the department was for the first time
since his recent illness, which began
about four weeks ago. He still shows
evidence of the severe attack of grippe,
but expresses the hope that he can
from now on attend to his duties with
out further trouble. He said the pub
lished story that ne had resigned or
would resign, was absolutely without
foundation. He had no serious dlf-
ferences with the president. he de-
clared, or with any member of the
cabinet. He pronounced the story that
he had been offered the presidency OF
the Knickerbocker Trust Company Of
New York. to be Without foundation,
and said the report that he conferred
with j. P. Morgan in regard to 1t on a
recent trip to New York. was fake.
He had not seen Morgan or any one
else in his interests, nor had he been
within a. mile of Wall street on his
recent visit to New York.

months ago made, an examination OF
Harriet Alice Thaw. a relative of the
defendant District Attorney Jerome

but was overrule.d by the court as
the relations between the physician
and patient did not cite in this in-
stance. DR.. Wood said that Miss
Thaw was of unsound mind.
The next witness to be heard, told
new eccentricires of Thaw just before
his killing of Stanford White. He
was Christopher Eaggan Steward, OF
the New York Whist club. Thaw was
in the club June 20, 1906, just hve
days before the roof garden tragedy.
Altho the day was hot, Thaw Insisted
IN taking screen with him wherever
he went about the rooms He was

CAUTION SAVES LIVES
Only Mayors Forethousht Prevents
Theater Horror at Fort Dodge Dur

Special to Times Republican.
F't. Dodge, Jan. 15.-Forethought on
the part of Mayor C. N. Duncombe
probably saved the lives of many
people last evening, during the per-
formance of the Flower of the Ranch"
by Mabel Barrison and Joe E. How
ard, at the Midland theater, and pre-
vented a catastrophe as appalling as
that at Boyertown. Pa. The COM
pany being a great favorite here, every
seat in the house was disposed of early,
and to satisfy the people of the city,
many chairs were added, fully 1000
people being in the building by the
time the curtain was raised.
As precalltion, Mayor Duncombe
ordered Fire Marshal Dernles to sta
ton two men on the stage with chem
ical extinguishers, and one in the body
of the house. During the first act, the
blowing of a fuse set fire to a portion
of the scenery, but the lights being
turned out, not one spectator was
aware of the blaze. With the raising
of the curtain. the smoke swept out
into the body of the house. But even
this failed to frighten the spectators,
they believing that smoke pots were
being used.
