Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
,rendered possible the production of Syrup
Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
slkillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup OF
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup OF
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables

body OF Count Louis von Ve,ssia, who
died 10 Denver last Saturday, the con
sui gave 2sencisi Veri6cation OF the story
that the count was the slayer Of Grown
Prince Rs1olph OF Austria and CUNT
ess Marie Vetsera.
The consul says his government hss
kept itself informed as to Vetsers's
whereabouts, and knows that he died
in Denver October 30. The consul bias
been instructed to find the body, have
it properly identified, and be will then
be given further instructions concern
ing it.
Austria established a consulate st
Denver only about a month ago, and
the consul has had some difficulty In
getting information, hence his appeal to
the mayor. He received his instructions
from the consul general at San FIsncis.
CO. Mayor Speer has placed the matter
10 the hands OF the city snd county
officers, with instructions to aid in every
way possible.
Under what name Vetsers lived and
died in Denver is rs much a mystery al
where the deaths of Grown Prince Ru'

Louis von Vetsera, brother of the count
ess, killed them together.
A cable from the Austrian foreign Of
