The Southern Society of New York

First to open IRE on these society

trot, grizzly bear and kindred dances
are prohibited in this armory on all
occasions. The floor committee Is au-
thorlzcd TO eXpel from the hall ANY

Having thus incurred the enmlty OF

AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Many Catahrtics Tend to Cause In
jury to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation
you should avoid strong drugs and ca
thartics. They only give temporary
relief, and their reaction is harmful
and sometimes more annoying than
constipation. They in no way effect
cure, and their tendency is to weak
en- the already weak organs with
which they come in contact
We honestly believe that we have
the best constipation treatment ever
devised. Our faith in it is so strong
that we sell it on the positive guar
antee that it shall not cost the user a
cent if it does not give entire satisfac-
tion and completely remedy constipa-
tion. This preparation is called Rex
all Orderlies. These are prompt,
soothing and most effective in action
They are made of recent chemical
discovery. Their principal ingredient
is odorless, tasteless and colorless.
Combined with other well-known in
gradients, long established for their
usefulness in the treatment of const-
patton, it forms a tablet which is eat
en- just like candy. They maybe taken
at any time, either day or night, with
out fear of their causing any incon-
venience whatever They do not gripe,
purge nor cause nausea. They act
without causing any pain or excessive
looseness of the bowels. They are
ideal for children, weak, delicate per-
sons and aged people, as we'll as for
the most hearty person.
They come in three size packages
II tablets, lOc; 36 tablets, 25c; 80
tablets, so cents. Remember, you can
obtain them only at our store-The
Rexall Store. j. c. Perry.

Anderson Says He Stole the ss5s,OOo

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE
Chicago, Jan. 9.-John Mcnamara,
San Francisco saloon keeper, arrest
ed in New York on charges of bank
robbery at New Westminster, stanls
this afternoon absolved of all con-
nection with that affair, If the story
told by Felix Anderson, arrested
here as a pickpocket, is substantial
ed
According to Anderson, who says
his real name is Frank Halloway, he
with two confederates, robbed the
bank at New Westminster, and after
getting away with several hundred
thousand dollars there, successfully
robbed a bank in Bogota, Columbia
He says that a man named West
helped him with the latter job.
Anderson told the police that he
was wanted in both North and South
America for bank robberies. He said
that in a quarrel with his two pals
over the division of spoils he had
killed them both After robbing the
bank at Bogota, Anderson says, he
killed West and fed with the money
He then told of robbery in Panama
City, where, he says, he secured
$4,000. After this robbery, Ander.
son says, he killed a man named
Shaeffer. He declares he operated il
Panama under the name of Lester.
The police this afternoon stated
that they had investigated Anderson
story that he had robbed a bank al
Harold, Texas. Verifcation came
from the sheriff there
The police think, however, that the
rest of Anderson's yarn is a fake
The state department at Washington
has been notified of the confession.
and as soon as the reports Of the
countries where Anderson says ht
operated are heard from, it will DC
known whether he is really crimi.
nal or a monumental liar.

PLANT
AT OSWEGO
is BURN Ed
Loss ESTIMATED At ABOUT $780,.
OOO-HUNDREDS OF MEN ARE
THROWN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT
ONLY HALFOF PLANT BURNED

Seventy men we're thrown out Of
employment and damages estimated
by officials at between $60O,OO0 and
$4,000 was done when at an early
hour yesterday morning the pipe man.
ufacturing plant Of the Oregon Iron &
Steel company, at Oswego was prac-
tically destroyed by fire
About half of the plant was saved
but the principal buildings, including
the main plant, the machine shop and
the engine room were totally de-
stroyed. All day yesterday and late
last night men worked with two
streams of hose in an effort to save
about 400 tons of coke which contin-
ued to burn. The officials Of the
company say they are not yet pre-
pared to make an announc cement as
to reconstruction.
"The saddest feature Of the fire"
said Alexander s. Pattullo. superin-
tendent and manager of the plant, ''is
the fact that such a large number OF
men, most of them with homes and
families, are thrown out of employ
ment.
Most OF them are, employees OF
long standing. One man told ne that
the factory had been his bread and
butter for 20 years"
The only man at the shopt at the
time the fire started was the night
watchman. According to his story, it
was between and o'clock in the
morning when he first saw the flames
in the machine shop, which had then
gained considerable headway. He at
tempted to ring the town fre-bell, but
it was clogged with ice and would not
respond, He then aroused workmen
and the residents in the neighborhood
and with streams Of water secured
from two mains, one of the citys and
the other the company's private line,
the fire was fought. The City Of Os-
wego has no fire department.
By chopping away connecting tim
bers between different buildings and
by heroic work with the available
water, large number Of buildings
were saved.
