posed of Strangers Body.

YORK, Pa, Jan. Hilary Keen
er, York county farmer, confessed

FRUIT GROWERS
COMPROMISE
AGREEMENT SEEMS PROBABLE
cultural Union Held Important
Meeting.

Compromise and agreement of the
various fruit growers of the North
Yakima section which will include
some changes in the plans and work
ings of the Yakima Horticultural I'm
ion seems likely to be effected as n
result of a meeting of joint commit
tee of directors and stockholders held
Monday morning. Such was the Off
cial announcement given out by the
committee. although it was stated
that no definite details could be Civ
en- until after another meeting on
Wednesday morning.
Alfred II. Henry, one of the stock
holders on the committee, said on
Monday afternoon that the prospects
for an agreement with the horticul-
tural union that would do away with
any necessity for further formation
work on the Yakima Fruit Growers
union seemed bright. Secretary w.
N. Irish of the Horticultural union
believes that there will be no special
difficulty in securing an agreement.

THUGS KICK AND
CURSE VICTIM
USE FISTS, FEET AND EpITHETs
John Kane Beaten by Holdup Men
ON West Yakima Avenue Satur-
day Night.

Kicked and slugged and cursed by
three unmasked highwaymen, John
Kane, an employee of the Yakima
Brewery Co., residing on Garfield
avenue. was attacked about 1880
Saturday evening and robbed of co
cents, pint flask of whiskey. pipe
tobacco and pocket knife. all that
his pockets contained, on West Yak
ina avenue. The robbers used their
fists, telling Kane. and as he lay on
the sidewalk kicked him. One of the
robbers. apparently the leader, ours
ed vigorously, applied vile epithets
to Kane for not having any more
money.
Kane, at the time of the holdup,
was returning to his home with a
pint of whiskey, purchased for med
icinal purposes. The three men ac-
costed him and. without warning, be-
gan striking. Kane bled freely from
his wounds, and has ugly gashes on
his face. He did not report the oc-
currence to the police until Sunday
afternoon.
Ed. Davis and a man held On a
John Doe warrant have been arrested
by the police and are held as sus-
poets. Davis is held in the county
Jail and the other at the city bastile.
Kane believes that he has fair idea
of who committed the robbery. The
third man in the gang, who is said
to be a school boy, is still at large.
The story of John Huffman, a bibu-
lous stranger who claimed that he
was robbed and beaten Saturday night
while homeward bound, is discred-
tied by the police.

General Demand

OF the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and

acceptable to the system and gentle, yet

In supplying that demand with its ex-

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

WILL ELECT DIRECTORS
Election Date Has Been Set for Feb
ruary is and Troubles Mag BE
Ended.

Looking toward the settlement Of
trouble of the Sunnyside Water Us
ers' association and the election of
a qualified board or trustees, the two
boards of directors of that organiza-
ton have come to an agreement for
another election, to be formally call
ed for February Is, at Sunnyside.
President s. J. Harrison and the
members of the old board do not want
to hold the offices nor do they intend
to turn the business of the associa-
ton over to the new board. which
they claim has not been legally elect
ed. The coming session. on Febru-
airy Is. will be the third session to
elect a new board of trustees, but it
is not likely to SAVIOR of the difficult
ties that have beset the two previous
gatherings.
The first meeting was called for
December 4, 1908, but was adjourn
ed on the proxy question until jan
uary S. The second meeting resulted
in numerous troubles, the old board
of trustees refusing to act as inspec-
tors of the election on the ground
that the election would be illegal. The
new board was then elected. and
these men have since found that the
election was illegal.
Now that the two factions have
agreed on an election date and will
participate in the gathering, it is
generally believed that there will be
some adjustment of all the Difficult
ties and that the troubles of the Sun
nyside Water Users association will
be ended.

There Is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together. and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To-
ledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops ID
a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on

ONE DIVORCE no
-FOUR MARRIAGES
Marital Felicity Is Even Less Pre-
dominant in Ellensburg Than in
Country as a Whole.

ELLENSBURG, Jan. Is. AL
though the year that has just passed
is the one in which the women were
given the privilege of proposing to
the men. it does not seem as if any
undue advantage were taken of this
opportunity, as the records in the
auditors office show that only 142
marriage licenses were issued in
1908. as against 1879 in 1907, a gain
of only three.
The number of divorces granted in
1903 will more than offset this small
gain. In 1907 II divorces were grant
ed, while in 1908 80 couples were al
lowed to go separate ways, a ratio
