TIE Important
Problem

confronting anyone in need of laxa-
tive is not a question of a single ac-
ton only, but of permanently bene-
fetal effects, which will follow proper
efforts to live in healthfu1 way, with
the assistance of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, whenever it is re-
CURED, as it cleanses the system
gently yet promptly, without irritation
and will therefore always have the
preference of all who wish the best of
family laxatives.
The combination has the approval
of physicians because it is known to
be truly beneficial, and because it has
given satisfaction to the millions OF
well-informed families who have used
it for many years past.
To get its beneficial effects, always
buy the genuine manufactured by the

BAD BOOZE CAUSED TROUBLE.
Ray jackson Dies From Wound Re-
ceived in a Drunken Row.

Clay Center, Kan, May 17.-Ray
Jackson, the young man who was shot
in a gun battle with three drunken
railroad switchmen, died Monday
morning at 1 o'clock. He was with
the sheriff's posse that was trying to
arrest the alleged desperadoes. jack
son was shot just below the hip bone
and the wound at the time was not
considered serious. Bad booze Is no
doubt the cause of all the trouble.
Young Jackson was about 18 years of
age and very much respected. Cor
oner Olsen is holding an inquest and
the jurors have gone out to saltwater
to view the remains and try If possible
to locate the cause of the trouble.
There is a great deal of indignation
expressed against Sheriff o. E. Kin
caid in his action in calling upon the
militia boys and Captain Guy r. Mar
tin is not escaping censure for allow
ing his men to take government am
munition to arrest three drunken men
without the call of the governor. Kin
caid could have got all the necessary
assistance that was necessary without
calling on the militiamen. as he is al
legged to have done. The citizens are
looking for a complete investigation,
and no one will be surprised to hear
of court martial proceedings. Kincaid
is a Democrat and has not given en-
tire satisfaction to his party and this
bad break will in all probability spoil
his chances for reelection.

LoGAN's DISASTROUS FIRE.
Butcher Shop and Restaurants Usually
Carry Good Insurance.

Logan, Kan, May 17.-Speaking of
the recent disastrous fire in Logan the
Republican says: 1T must be that
butcher shops and restaurants expect
to burn out as they are usually the
only ones that carry enough insurance
to more than pay the loss. If we
owned a building we would not rent it
to a butcher or a restaurant keeper
under any consideration. If the bust
ness men of every town would see to
it that such fellows did not get insur-
ance for more than twice what their
stock was worth they would be more
careful of their fires"
Logan is growing so healthily that
a new twenty-acre addition to the
town is being laid out in lots.

Hcan division. from the fact that they
have two aspirants for the judgeship,
q. NJ. Noble of Rawlins county. and
w. s. Langmade of Decatur county,
who want to succeed Judge w. H.
Pratt. The friends of tho present in

win the nomination.

gardless of politics believe in keep
ing faithful officials in office so far
as that county IS concerned. For pro-
bate judge there is A. S. Chase. regi-
ter of deeds T. r. Wilson. and for

The remaining exercises were excel
lent and the program as whole
brought credit to our little city.
