Negro Beats White Son.

Grand Forks, n. D., Nov. 4.-The
county authorities of Grand Forks
have a new race problem with which
to deal. Earl Speer, white, does not
get along very well with his cOlOred
stepfather, William Humphries. To
escape whippings the lad has been in
the habit of running away from home.
The boy, who is II years old, as
serts that the colored man is cruel to
him and he is willing to go to the
reform school rather than live with
his black relative and receive his Ill
treatment.

Taft Votes,

New York.-Late developments in
the election situation surprised the
political leaders of both big parties,
and the result may be vindication
of the judgment of Chairman Hitch
cock, who declared that Taft would
receive 325 votes in the electoral COL
lege.
Midnight returns indicate that he Is
practically assured of 309 votes and
has a fighting chance for Missouri's
eighteen votes, which would give him
a total of two more than Mr.. Hitch
cock claimed.

Death 81 L.. /. s,e~".

Ira l.. Brown. son Of Mr.. and Mrs
r. A. Brown, died at their residence
on Belleview avenue. last Wednes-
day. of scarlet fever, at the axe nf
eleven years four months and TWEEN
ty-one days.
Ira was baptized into the member
ship Of the first Baptist church OF
this city on May ~. 1906. BY the
pastor. Rev. $. c. Davis. who also
conducted the funeral service. AT
the grave, on Thursday afternoon.
Ira was very devoted member OF
the church: very regular in his at
tendance on the SUNDAY school. care
fully chaperoning his little sister To
and from the house of God.
Last Sunday he was missed from
the school, which was grieved to
learn that he was stricken with scar
let fever. The disease made rapid
progress terminating fatally in three
days.
The esteem in which the child and
his parents were held was shown by
the long cavalcade Of sympathizers
which followed the remains to the
grave. The grave was robbed OF
much OF its GOODNESS By the tasteful
drapings of white. decked with roses
and evergreens. so that the appear
ance was more as the lying down to
sleep in bed of flowers than of d
burial in the earth. The casket hav-
ing been lowered into the grave u
quartette of singers sang consol-
ing hymn after which the pastor read
from the gospel by Luke the story
of the raising Of Jairus' daughter Ia
twelve year old girl) by the Saviour.
and offered a PRAYER. He then de-
livered an address. based on the
words of our Lord to the father of
the little girl in the gospel story,
Weep not; for she is not dead but
sleepeth." The story and the text
were so suitable To the case of the
lad just laid TO rest amid the flow
ers. Again quartette from the
church sang a beautifully suitabl.
hymn. and the pastor pronounced a
committal service, and when tht
words earth TO earth. ashes to
ashes, dust to dust fell from his
his lips. beautiful blooming flowers
were dropped upon the coffin.
The benediction having been pro-
nounced. the friends departed from
the grave side feeling the heart
sadness tempered with the expecta-
tion that he whose voice the maiden
heard and called back from the re
gion of death would one day speak
the word at which all that are in
their graves shall come forth. Tha,
the hearts of the sadly afflicted par
ents may be consoled in their grief
is the PRAYER of the friends which
feel with them to some extent the
sadness of the occasion.

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 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
gists.
