WHIPPED A WASHER.
wichita Woman Protects Her Daugh-
tiers From a FIirt.

Wichita, Kan, July S.-Dan Wood,
ga masher," was horsewhipped IN
front of the Frisco restaurant at sos
East Douglas avenue, by Mrs J. T.
Maxidon. He made his escape after
receiving the whipping and can not be
found by the officers.
Mrs. Maxidon assists her husband IN
conducting the Frisco restaurant and
was in charge of the place when
Woods attempted to firt with her two
daughters who were sitting in front
of the place. The girls objected to his
attentions and the mother, seeing his
antics, procured a riding whip and ad-
vanced on the enemy. She struck him
across the face three times in rapid
succession before he could make his
escape. The third stroke was strong
enough to break the whip and render
It useless.
Mrs. Maxidon is a comely, middle
aged lady. She was not arrested but
will appear in court as a complaining
witness if the officers can find Wood.

WAVE OF ECONOMY.
1t Has Struck the Canal Zone With
Full Force.

Washington. July 8.-The wave of
economy. first noted at Washington
some time after the advent of the
Taft administration is reported as
having arrived at the Isthmian canal
zone. It's first effect was to sweep
away nearly all the government car
riages used by the commissioners and
other officials on the zone. Col.
Goetha1s, chairman of the canal COM
mission, has issued an order discon-
tinuing the use of these carriages and
directing the chief quartermaster to
sell all transportation equipment on
hand. with the exception of few
surveys to be used exclusively for the
transaction of public business
None of these is for the use of any
member of the commission.
In contrast with this policy it is
to be noticed the methods of the
French during their attempt to con-
struct the canal.
The commission is now offering for
sale between 10000 and 100000 tons
of old iron and steel left on the
isthmus by the French. About half
of this was old machinery left in the
territory that will be covered by the
waters of Gatun lake.

WOMEN Rush The CAM
Foreign Miners and Wives Fought for
Beer at Mineral.

Columbus. Kan, July S.-The county
attorneys office here was given a
chance to exercise considerable .discre-
ton when a delegation Of nve women
from Mineral Cherokee county, ap-
reared and presented a petition asking
that saloons be permitted to run, and
especially that the sale Of beer in buck
cts or cans be permitted. The petition
contained several hundred names
The cres-7 made by the women was
that they stayed at home, worked;
raised the family and, kept house, and
were as much entitled to their beer as
the men.
The peculiar phase of the whole mat
ter is that they are actually in earnest
and think that the county attorney
can regulate the matter if he VIII.
Quite a demonstration tok place at
West Mineral, when nearly 400 men and
women mostly foreigners, hurled rocks
and other missiles at some saloon
buildings and broke windows and
doors.
The cause of the trouble seems to be
that some saloonkeepers closed up their
places and under the present pressure
brought to bear by county and state
officials mean to stay closed The Tor
eigners. who are coal miners all want
their beer, and men and women ankle
say they will have It,
Another version of the cause OF the
trouble is that owing to some rumor
that the price of beer was to be raised
the crow gathered to express their DIS
approval. Many thousand Australians,
Belgians, French and Italian miners
live in the coal mining district, and
owing TO their use of intoxicating
1iouor the lid has been pried open more
here than in almost any other county
This is the second beer riot in this
county in the past week.

TIE
General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; 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
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

CLOSE CALL FOR ADEE.
Section of Filing Cabinet Nearly Fell
on Him.

Washington, July s.-Alvy Adee.
second assistant secretary of state,
narrowly escaped serious injury in
the basement of the state departme
building when a section of a large
filing cabinet, which was being in
stalled by workmen on the third
floor, fell through an open shaft
formed by the circular stairway, di-
rectly above a spot where Mr.. Adee
stood conversing with several other
government officials.
The workmen lost their hold on
the cabinet and the lives of the as
sistant secretary and others were
probably saved by the timely warm
ing shrieked out by one of those who
had been handling the cabinet.
