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

ABOUT TONOPAH

A fierce gust of wind yesterday
afternoon blew off the top OF the Miz-
pah water tank situated on Mt. Cd
die. The wind was blowing at such
a velocity that portions of the tank
covering were afterwards found near
the North Star mine. a distance of
several hundred yards away.
Around the town the wind blew
several signs down and a number OF
houses are minus few shingles. AT
the high school several windows were
broke by the force of the wind. and
for time II seemed as though
school would have to be dismissed.
After blowing Tor a few minutes the
wind suddenly quieted down.

SUICIDES BODY IS
FOUND ON DESERT
Gruesome Find Made About
Four Miles From Tonopah---
Remains Brought to Morgue
identification is Yet I'm
certain.

The body of an unknown man was
found yesterday on the desert about
four miles southwest of town by
John Mclaughlin, a miner employed
at the Mizpah mine. Mclaughlin
was out hunting rabbit, when he was
attracted to where the body lay by
the unusual actions of his dog. Be-
side the body was 45-calibre pis-
tol containing an empty shell and
two loaded cartridges. Mclaughlin
brought the pistol back to town with
him and notified the authorities.
Chief Malley, with several others,
went to the spot and brought in the
body and took it to the morgue. An
investigation disclosed the fact that
it was case of suicide, for a
wound was found in the mouth,
where the bullet entered and the
exit was discovered to be in the back
of the head.
In the pockets of the clothing
worn was found 35 cents and a
knife with the name of Willis C.
Mcguire, Salem, Oregon. The cloth
ing was new with the exception of
a second pair of overalls, which
showed signs of wear. The body was
dressed in overalls, corduroy coat,
new black shoes and a white hat
and new underclothes. Deceased

about five days ago for the body had
started to turn black. A portion of
the face had been eaten by the coy
otes. He was evidently about thirty
five years of age, had red hair and
a sandy mustache and weighed about
100 pounds. His occupation is
thought to have been either a team
ster or miner.
There are two brothers living in
Round Mountain by the name of
Mcclure, and the surname of one of
them is Willis, and his description
tallies with that of the dead man.
When the fact was learned last even
ing it was too late to secure tele-
phonic communication with the
northern camp, as the Office there
had closed for the night
The only theory as to the cause of
the deed is that the dead man had
been on spree and after spending
his money was unable to secure
employment and became discourag-
ed, seeked out a lonely spot and end
ed his existence. Several people had
seen him around this city, but none
can be found who knew him. The
local authorities are hard at work
and it is expected that they will Sc
cure some information as to who the
party is, today. The inquest will be
held this morning.

Tonight's the night!

That great, grand and glorious,
much heralded attraction, the Elks'
MINISTRIES, will make their first ap-
pearance in our beautiful city this
Everything will be in readiness for
making this affair the event of the
season. The ballet dancers practiced
their bewildering dance until a late
hour last night, and then after a
liberal application of witch hazel
retired for much needed rest. They
will not take their usual four-mile
sprint this morning for fear of be-
coming stale, and in order to i'm
prove their looks will use all kinds
of drug store products this evening.
In the way they use the powder and
paint they bear strong resemblance
to the real ballet dancers. s.4%
An edict was issued yesterday that
no stage door Johnnies would be toll
Grated and anyone caught sending
boquets and boxes of candy to the
ballet girls will be summarily dealt
with. This came as sad blow to
many of our young heart-breakers,
but with the knowledge that Sheriff
Owens will return from Reno today
and guard the stage door, it can be
assured that the young, innocent
things, will be able to depart in
peace.
There will be grand street par
ade this afternoon at / o'clock, and
every member of~the mamoth min
strels will be in line. The line of
march will be from the Elks' club
rooms to Main street, and then up
and down the street several times.
A number of bands, including the
Elks' brass band, will be in line and
discourse sweet music to the multi
tude. Nearly every ticket has been
sold and Standing Room Only

have not as yet secured their tickets

Fido barked as soon as he could get
his nose above water and instantly his
mouth got filled with water. Coward, on
the bank. frisked about like one mad.
barking furiously. And Helen and all
her guests were jumping around like 80
many spinning tops, all declaring that
Fido would be drowned unless some one
got a policeman to rescue him. And
mamma was trying with all her might to
explain to Helen-and all the other little
ones-that Fido would soon swim ashore.
"A dog can swim In water as we'll as
he can walk on dry ground" she said.
Now. just watch him! See. he is max
ing his way toward the shore. There,
Tommy. stoop down and give lift to
Fido.''
And then all the excitement was over,
for Tommy had helped Fido to dry land
once more. and the poor frightened little
fellow was shaking his body. throwing
on water in every direction. causing
every one save Helen to get a safe dis
tance from him. otherwise he would soil
their very best clothes.
After Helen saw that Fido was none
the worse for his dip In the lake she be-
came merry again, and soon the entire
little picnic party was engaged In games
which they played till luncheon was
