PRINTERS CALLED OUT.
Grave Diggers in Sweden Refuse to
Return to Work.

Stockholm, Aug. 7.-Swedish troops in
the northern part of the country have
mutinied and the government is much
concerned. Two regiments, one at Falun
and the other at Solicited are affected.
They are stationed in the northern ccun-
try where the labor disturbances first
broke out in the timber trade, and the
government has been haunted by the
fear that the soldiers sympathies were
with the strikers.
The executive committee of the Swed-
ish union at a meeting held today, de-
cided to call out all the printers through
out the kingdom. Many of the grave
Giggers have defed the orders of
their labor unions to return to work
and have Iejoined the strikers.
The food situation in Stockholm shows
no Improvement today and the Strike
continues. The hopes of yesterday that
the men would withdraw from their ex-
IRENE attitude have not been fulfilled.

was generally known. and Miss
Blanche Anna Underwood. the two
young people of East Topeka. who
eloped Thursday night secured a
marriage license in Kansas City and
were married at that place. This IS
the elimination of the East Side

State Journal last night. In securing
the marriage license, the groom gave
his age as p, while the bride claimed
to be Is. The grOOm's age is right
but according to the friends of the
girl, she must have prevaricated few
years.
The two young people had been
keeping company for some time
despite the objections of the parents
of both parties Their parents sought
in every way to keep them from go
ing together. but all their efforts were
futile. Thursday afternoon young

Both families were very much
wrought uD over the affair and the
girls parents threatened to bring
charges against young Koch. The aid
of the sheriff's office was invoked
yesterday in an effort to find a clue
as to where the couple had gone. But
they are married now, and when they
return home parental forgiveness will
be sought and likely granted.

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 a 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
