General Dem and

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 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 Weh- Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-nanufactur by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Deerfield Man Filled Up on Whisky
and Made Gun Play.

Deerfield, Kan, Nov. 11.-There
was more excitement here yesterday
ter a half hour than at any timessince
C r. D. S. Oakford was hanged in
offigy recently.
The night Santa Fe operator. having
imbibed too freely, and being armed
with considerable artillery, cleaned out
the offices and waiting room and held
possession of the station for 20 minutes
or more.
He was later overcome by strategy
ty the agent and disposed of for the
time being.
The operator appeared on the scene
shortly before passenger train No.
went through. There were two or
three station employees around. and
probably six or eight persons waiting
to take the train. The operator started
his commotion in the Office, and ran
it's occupants out into the waiting
room. He followed at once, and scat
tered the prospective passengers as
rapidly as he had the employees,
brandishing his gun and making loud
threats.
Then the agent came up in a hurry
and disposed of the obstreperous
operator.

Coming"

At meeting of the Hoosiers of the

reunion in the home state during

PROPHETS WE'RE MUCKRAKERS.
So Declared Yale Divinity Professor
to Class at X. u.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 1.-THE
prophets Isaiah, Ezekiel and jeremiah
were classed as muckrakers and many
of the stories in the Old Testament
termed myths by DR.. Charles Foster
Kent of the Yale divinity school in
a lecture before students of the Uni
versity of Kansas.
1.-The prophets of Israel were the
social reformers of their times" he
said. ''They were muckrakers to use
a present day term They were SEN
sationaI in their methods, notably
Isaiah, Ezekiel and Jeremiah"
While Prof. Kent believes that
many of the stories in the Old Tesla
ment are myths he sees good in
them. He says the prophets were
teaching a simple people and were
forced to use extraordinary means to
drive home their points.
In discussing the story of the gar
den of Eden the speaker said he be-
lieved it to be legend of good pur-
pose, being well fitted to the childlike
minds of the people to whom it was
first related.

Barnes from Chicago met her boy. 80
Seven years ago o. P. Barnes, a
publisher in Chicago, and his son,
Ernest. quarreled. The angry boy left
his home and not until they met in
Onaga did the mother or father see
him again. He went out of their lives
and despite diligent search was not to
be found.
The boy wandered west until Kan
sas City was reached. Leaving there
after short time he wandered from
place to place, arriving in Onaga
some months ago. where he has since
labored as a stonemason, trade he
had learned.

sire to find the lost boy. The search

ga, suffering from a broken ankle and
practically penniless, saw one day in
a newspaper, plea from his mother
that her son should come home, Err
nest humbled his pride and wrote her
the letter so long looked for.
1t was quickly responded to, and the
boy was urged to return home. Still
hesitant, he failed to respond until adj
vlsed that his parents were coming to
Topeka to meet him. At the last mo-
nent he sent word that he would not be
there But mothers love is strong,
AND as he entered the postoff1ce, ex-
Iecting some word from his parents,
he was met by the happy mother, and
the fathers words:
We'll, my boy."
1t took until today to convince the
young man that home was the place for
him.
