KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many"who live bet-
ter than others and enjoy life more with
less expenditure by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas-
ant to the taste the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax-
ative ; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
ana permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid-
neys Liver and Bowels without weak-
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug-
gists in 50c and $1 bottles but it is man-
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only whose name is printed on every
package also the name Syrup of Figs
and being well informed you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
To Preserve
The richness color and beauty of tho
hair the greatest care is necessary
much harm being done by the use of
worthless dressings. To be sure of hav-
ing a iirst-class article ask your drug-
gist or perfumer for Ayer’s Hair Vigor.
It is absolutely superior to any other
preparation of the kind. It restores the
original color and fullness to hair which
has become thin faded or gray. It
keeps the scalp cool moist and free
from dandruff. It heals inching humors
prevents baldness and imparts to
THE HAIR
a silken texture and lasting fragrance.
No toilet can be considered complete
without this most popular and elegant
of all hair-dressings.
“My hair began turning gray and fall-
ing out when I was about 25 years of
age. I have lately been using Ayer’s
Hair Vigor and it is causing a new
growth of hair of the natural color.”—
R. J. Lowry Jones Prairie Texas.
“Over a year ago I had a severe fever
and when I recovered my hair began to
fall out and what little remained turned
gray. I tried various remedies but
without success till at last I began to
USE
Ayer’s Hair Vigor and now my hair is
growing rapidly and is restored to its
original color.” — Mrs. Annie Collins
Dighton Mass.
“I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor for
nearly five years and my hair is moist
glossy and in an excellent state of pres-
ervation. I am forty years old and
have ridden tho plains for twenty-five
years.”—Win. Henry Ott. alia a “Mus-
tang Bill” Newcastle Wyo. *

REAGAN ON SILVER.
The Veteran Texas Statesman Strong-
ly in Favor of the White Metal.
In a recent open letter to the press
Hou. John 11. Reagan Ex-United
States Senator from Texas and now a
member of the State Railway Com-
mission expresses in part the follow-
ing unqualified views on silver and Its '
continued coinage:
“1. Gold and silver have been the j
money of the world as far back as we
know its history or traditions. ‘Their
fitness for money is shown by the fact
that both metals possess in common
and neither in any degree different
from the other all the qualities which
are recognized as necessary for mon-
ey. Silver enjoys with an equal de-
gree with gold the qualities of inde-
structibility of divisibility of mallea-
bility and of resistance to chemical
changes thus demonstrating their use-
fulness and fitness as regulators of the
volume and value of currency and ex-
change.’
2. Gold and silver were made the
money of all the United States by the
federal constitution which provides
act 1 section 10 ‘That no state shall
make anything but gold and silver
coin a tender in payment of debt.’
3. National bank notes and nates
of other banks are not legal tender
money and their value in all commer-
cial countries was measured by gold
and silver coin previous to the year
1873. These Great Britain made
gold the money of account in that
kingdom. In all the other commer-
cial countries of the world gold and
silver was the money of account pre-
vious to the year 1873. These metals
were up to that time the basis of
banking exchange and measured the
value of all the bank notes and ex-
changes; and controlled the value of
all property and of all bonds and oth-
er securities for money.
4. The contention of the bond-
holders the holders of gold and the
bankers now is that silver shall no
longer be a part of the legal tender
money of the world. That gold alone
shall measure the value of the bank
notes exchanges property and labor
of the world.
5. The amount of gold coin and
bullion In the world is about the
same as the amount of silver coin and
bullion in the world.
6. To demonetize silver and make
gold the only legal tender money of
the world would by the destruction
of one-half of the legal tender money
of the world about double tho bur-
dens of all debtor governments cor-
porations associations firms and in-
dividuals and would vastly enhance
the values of all securities and credits
and of gold coin and bullion because
of the reduction ot the kinds and vol-
ume of money which might be used
for payment of debts and because tho
gold of the country would buy so
much more of labor and property.
7. The free and unlimited coinage
of silver will secure for the United
States a substantial monopoly of the
trade with Mexico and with Central
and South America and will greatly
enlarge our trade with China ami
Japan. If the people of those coun-
tries could pay for the manufactured
fabrics and other articles of export
from this country with silver which
is the money of those countries and
should at the same time be required
to pay gold for such commodities in
tho markets of Europe it requires no
argument to demonstrate that they
would trade with us. This would
give us the control of the commerce
of this continent and greatly enlarge
our trade with Asia; and it would do
more towards transferring the center
of the world’s exchanges from London
to New York than any other one
thing I can think of. And it would
seem that this ought to arrest the at-
tention of our manufacturers and mer-
chants and others furnishing for ex-
port so those countries.
8. It would while maintaining
gold and silver as the necessary basis
of the world’s money enable the peo-
ple of the United States to utilize the
extensive deposits of silver with which
our country is blessed. I assume that
the people of no other count ry in pos-
session as ours is of over 40 per cent
of all the silver mines from the earth
would tolerate the stupendous folly of
destroying its quality and value as
money and of striking down mining
interests in which so many people are
employed and in which so much mon-
ey is invested. It would augment the
wealth of this country by re-establish-
ing our large export of cotton and
grain to Europe which has been so
greatly reduced by the unfriendly ac-
tion of our own and other govern-
ments to silver. As silver and prop-
erty of all kind" have gone down In
price together while the price of gold
has gone up our exports of cotton and
grain and other farm products to Eu-
rope have been reduced and the ex-
ports especially of cotton and wheat
from India Egypt and Russia to Eu-
rope have been correspondingly in-
creased to the great injury of this
country.
9. The large indebtedness of the
government of the United States and
of the several states of municipal
railroad manufacturing and other cor-
porations and of associations firms
and private persons amounting in the
aggregate to many billions of dollars
makes it a monstrous crime to violate
the equitable right of these debtors to
make payment in the kinds of legal
tender money which existed when the
debts were created by depriving them
of the use of silver. To strike down
silver as money would about double
the burdens of all debtors and very
greatly increase the value of all secu-
rities for money in violation of tho
implied Jaw of the contracts under
which these debts were created. And
when we remember the almost incal
culable amount of the indebtedness of
the governments and corporations of
the world who is bold enough to as-
sume that these debts can be paid if
the legal tender currency of the world
should be reduced to gold alone?
Does anyone believe that in that
event it would be possible for the rail-
road corporations of the United States
to ever pay the more than five billions
of dollars which they now owe? The
most of which is held by European
capitalists largely by those of Great
Britain and Germany.
THE DEATH SCENE.
Excitement Over the Chicago Holo-
caust Continues Unabated.
Fully ten thousand people were as-
sembled around the ruins of the Cold
Storage building at the fair grounds
in Chicago yesterday morning. Out
of this great crowd a few Idle specta-
tors could be discerned but the great
majority present were drawn there
by the common impulses of humanity
watching the search for bodies with
horror-stricken faces lest the next
cry of “body found!” should quench
forever the fond hope of a loved one’s
living return.
In the early morning hours yester-
day three charred bodies making a
total of thirteen were found and re-
moved from the debris. The remains
of the bodies found have in most in-
stances been so badly charred and
disfigured as to make recognition im-
possible. One thing seemed quite ev-
ident however and that is that the
bodies are not those of firemen. The
locality in which they were found
seems to preclude this possibility. Ou
one of the bodies was found a leather
belt to which were attached a pair of
steel pincers thus practically proving
the remains to be those of a lineman.
The discovery gave fresh color to the
fearful apprehension that the firemen
were by no means the only ones who
fell victims to the flames. The elec-
tric light company had a number of
men in the tower part of tho building
stringing wires at the time the fire
broke out and several of these are
still missing.
Four Columbian guards were unac
counted for yesterday morning and
their companions are naturally very
solicitous as to their fate.
There seems to be no doubt that
the death list is still decidedly incom-
plete. It has been definitely ascer-
tained that but eleven firemen lost
their lives. All others have turned
up either safe or injured.
Many of those around the ruins
were people who had missing friends
or relatives and who were seeking to
identify the bodies discovered. In
numerous instances these parties were
visitors to tho fair but wore uncer-
tain whether tho missing even visited
the cold storage. It was thought
probable that several of these will
turn up all right.
The ravages of the lire amply serv-
ed to demonstrate the unsubstantial
flimsy and inflammable condition of
the structure. The layer of stuff that
gave an appearance of marble solidity
to the building served to arouse the
spectators to a state of intense indig-
nation to-day. The World’s Fair offi-
cials claim that they are not responsi-
ble for this defending themselves by
the assertion that as tho cold storage
warehouse was a concession and con-
structed as a private enterprise or ex-
hibit tho World’s Fair authorities
should not be held responsible for tho
loss of life.

NBGRO CUTTING AFFRAY.
Henry Adams Inflicts Terrible
Wounds on Jim Coleman.
At 7:30 o’clock this morning in the
alley way just back of the old Burton
residence on Forest street Henry
Adams a desperate negro of the city
attacked and it Is thought fatally cut
Jim Coleman another negro. Tho
cutting was done with a large knife
which Adams plunged repeatedly in
the breast of his adversary. The
worst and probably fatal wound is
immediately over the right lung pene-
trating it is feared tho vital organs.
The body of the wounded negro pre-
sented a sickening appearance and
resembled in its terribly mutilated
condition the carcass ot an animal
fresh from the hands of tho butcher.
As usual there was a woman at the
bottom of the trouble which was the
result of a jealous quarrel between
the two men over the favors of a
dusky damsel known as Lizzie. The
difficulty occurred at the woman’s
house Adams going there at an early
hour this morning and finding his
enemy in lordly possession of the
premises became so enraged that he
seized his rival by the neck and drag-
ged him from the house out into the
alley where he proceeded to butcher
him in a style which would have done
credit to his wildest ancestor in the
Congo States of Africa or brought a
murmur as approval from tho blood-
iest savage among the Indian tribes of
North America. After satisfying his
vengeance Adams made his escape.
He is a young negro almost black of
medium size and has a scar made by
the bullet from a Winchester running
the full length of his cheek.
Dr. W. C. Spearman was called to
see the wounded man and proceeded
to dress his wounds assisted by Dre.
Mann and Read. Dr. Spearman in-
forms us that the man’s wounds are
very dangerous but as he had not
yet made a critical examination
could not definitely state their extent.
A WOULD BE MARTYR.
Henry Starr the train robber out-
law and noted desperado now in jail
at Denver Col. evidently desires to
pose as a martyr before the general
public and secure as far as possible
the sympathy of the officers of the
law and peaceable citizens whom ho
has so long defied and often outraged.
In a recent interview Starr was ques-
tioned as to bls identity with tho cel-
ebrated outlaw of that name. His
answer was : “Well I guess there is
no mistake; you see all there is left of
him” was the mournful rejoinder.
“ Well 1 guess my friends and enemies
too for that matter did not expect
me to be taken so easily. It is lucky
for those officers that they gave me no
opportunity to fight. 1 never expect-
ed to ever get behind the bars. I
meant to die fighting but now I sup-
pose I will get Bor 9 years. They
will have to prove the train robbery
charges though. I might have rob-
bed trains many times but they can-
not tell when and whore.”
“How did you come to be an out-
law?”
“Why they arrested mo for stealing
cattle first when I was innocent of the
charge. It cost me all 1 was worth to
fight the case and I was finally dis-
charged. I was 17 then but it made
me wild and I determined to give
them something worth bunting me
for. Then they had me up for horse
stealing. One of the men who pur-
sued me was John Edwards and 1
scared him In a Coffeyville saloon by
shooting over his bead. I did not
shoot at him but I was arrested for
assault with intent to kill. I jumped
my bond and then went into the ter-
ritory and started into mischief gen-
erally.”
“Where did you work your
schemes?”
“In the Nation in Arkansas in
Mexico and in the Territory. Wish
I had stayed in the Territory now.
They would not have attempted to
arrest me there. But I can do a whole
lot of mischief yet for if I am inside
some of the boys are still out and
that scoundrel Dann who arrested
me had better look out. We shall
get him sure.”
“Yes we will that” chimed in the
Kid. “He stole some handkerchiefs
out «f our room and lots of other
things which he did not account for.
Ho will have to flash up more money
too.”
When asked how he likes the idea
of facing Judge Barker the noted
Federal Judge and terror to evil
doers generally of tho Fort Smith’
Ark. district Starr answered:
“Well I would rather be excused
from meeting that old rascal. I have
been before him and be is no friend
of mine.”
Mary Morrison Starr who wcut
NO. 289.
from her home into the Territory to
marry Starr departed for No Watta
last week but the officers allow no
communication to pass between them.
The time of their departure will be
kepi a profound secret. Starr is only
19 and not a largo fellow. He seems
to be a decent sort of a fellow as he
sits in the jail corridor but out on the
prairie with a sixshooter he is proba-
bly as reckless as an Indian.
“I will not bo so very old when I
get out of the pen” he said “if I ever
survive the imprisonment 1 tell you
it will bo mighty hard to stay in close
confinement but when I come out—”
and his eyes fairly blazed. What he
meant to say was not said. He had
said enough.
COL. OCHILTREE’S LATEST.
It is announced from Long Branch
N. J. that Col. Tom Ochiltree the
noted Texan will wed Mrs. Eugene
Wicks of St. Louis Mo. widow of
Col. Wicks the millionaire real estate
broker of San Antonio Texas. Mrs.
Wicks has since tho death of her hus-
band resided in St. Louis where she
is greatly admired for her grace of
mind and beauty of person. Her
maiden name was Miss Thompson
and she was accounted quite a belle
and noted beauty before her first
marriage. It is very probable that
the gallant Colonel will take up his
residence after marriage with his
wile in the city of St. Louis. The
New York papers have devoted con-
siderable space to the Colonel’s ru-
mored engagement for some timebut
they have not been able to ascertain
who the fortunate lady was. Mrs.
Wicks Is a very beautiful blonde
above the medium height and mag-
nificently proportioned. She has been
a widow now about a year. She
married Col. Wicks in Saratoga about
two years ago. Col. Ochiltree intro-
duced her to him at that resort hav-
ing been presented to her himself
some time before by Mrs. Henry
Ames of St. Loulh. Mrs. Wicks and
Col. Ochiltree are to be seen at tho
Monmouth park races together every
day and every evening they are to be
seen around tho Hollywood house.
MILLER’S ACCOMPLICE CAUGHT
News has just been received from
Cairo 111. of the arrest at Milan
Tenn. of tho accomplice and partner
in crime of Seay or Commodore Mil-
ler the ravisher and murderer of
Mary and Ruby Ray at Bardwell
Ky. last week. It is positively as-
serted that the negro arrested at Mi-
lan is the fiend who actually commit-
ted both of the terrible murders after
he and his brutal companion bad suc-
ceeded in violating the persons of
their helpless victims. The Sheriff at
Bardwell Ky. has been notified and
if be proves to bo the man as claim-
ed another lynching is in prospect. A
passenger conductor on the Illinois
Central who brings the news of the
arrest says tho man fought desper-
ately but when finally overpowed ad-
mitted that he had murdered tho girls
and that Miller knew it and refused
to divulge It. Miller while in jail at
Bardwell is claimed to have said that
while ho did not commit the crime he
knew who did it but afterwards de-
nied having said so.
A Prominent Lady Arrested
