man who was under 80 years of age to
the penitentiary." remarked Albert Ho
gan. convicted of breaking Into the ware
house of J. R. Lindsay and stealing
hides and furs valued at 1350. when
Judge Thornell sentenced him to an In
determinate term not exceeding ten years
In the penitentiary at Fort Madison.
Judge Thornell then made some In
quiries aa to the prisoner's age, asking
several questions to which Hogan re
turned unsatisfactory answers. Although
he claimed that he was only 29 years of
age his appearance would indicate that
he was considerably past 30. The court
finally told Itogan that he would be sent
to Fort Madison, but that If Investigation
showed his claim -aa to his age to be
correct he would be transferred to Ana
inosa. "Well, let it go. I waive the question
of age. I don't care whether you send
me to Anamosa or to hell," said Hogan
with a considerable display of temper.

While It is the Intention of Postofflea
Inspector Swenson to present to the fed
eral grand Jury, which waa Impaneled
yesterday on the opening of the March term
of United States court In Council Bluffs,
the case of J. C. Maybray. reputed head
of the swindling "syndicate" which la
credited with fleecing a number of
wealthy "Mikes' out of large aunia of
money, and while It Is likely that an In
dictment will be returned, officials of
the federal court are not at all positive
that a conviction will be secured on the
evidence bo far obtained.
Postofflct Inspector Swenson waa be
fore the federal grand Jury yeeterday,
but It la understood that body will not
take up the Maybray caae until tha ar
rival of Samuel Sutor, the hotel man of
Cass lAke, Minn., who was buncoed out
of f 6.000. Mr. Sutor is expected to reach
Council Bluffs some time today, a tele
gram requesting his presence having been
sent yesterday morning by United States
Attorney M. L. Temple.
The opinion among officials of the fed
eral court yesterday seemed to be that
Maybray would eventually be turned over
lo the local authorities for prosecution
In the state court. The charge against
Maybray In the federal court la Improper
use of the malls In connection with his
alleged schemes to defraud wealthy suck
ers of their bank rolls. It Is said that
the maximum penalty on conviction of
this offense is a fine of $1,000, whloh
Maybray would, it Is believed, be able to
pay, or Imprisonment not to exceed
eighteen months. The difficulty In con
victing Maybray, it Is said, rests with tha
question of whether it can be proved that
he personally wrote any of the letters
said to be In possession of tha postooflca
authorities.
In impaneling the grand Jury yester
day morning Judge Smith McPherson
made Indirect reference to the Maybray
case. He made special mention of cases
which might be brought before the Jury
Involving charges of fraudulent use of
the United States mall.

and J. W. Young. The anti-Ford candi
dates were J. W. Lee and Dr. G. T. Mc
Caullff. The three holdover members stood
2 to 1 for Ford, so that the election of

3 to 2 against him.

other reduction In its working force at

off indefinitely. It is rumored in railroad
circles thtt this is Just the beginning of a
heavy cut. When the reduction affecting
train and engine men was recently made
It was given out that the shop force would
rerrein normal, ns it was thought there
was enough work to keep them all busy.
No reaaon for the present reduction has
been given out officially, but It is believed
herauso of the mild winter, the rolling
stock haa auffered lesa from wear and tear
than was expected and has werked its In
fluence In bringing about the retrench
ment. It Is hoped the prestnt cond'tiou
will bo soon relieved and the full force
again employed.

Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles m-hich
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore; that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. f
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because
of tha excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Symp of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and F.lixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always bc
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Tig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.

WASHINGTON. March 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Senators Burkett and Brown failed
utterly In their efforts today to bring-
about modifications of Secretary Wilson's
order regarding blpachlng of flour. The
secretary Is convinced that his ruling was
right, and told the. Nebraska senators so
In few words. Mr. Wilson said he had given
a full hearing to persons Interested in
bleaching flour by electricity last fall, five
days having been devoted to exhaustive
consideration of the case In all Its phases,
and he is nore than ever convinced. that
artificial bleaching of flour Is detrimental
to health, and that a stop must be put uton
It. Two conclusions Mr. Wilson reached
by reason of the hearing last fall. First,
that the treatment by electricity precipi
tates a rltro which, while Infinitesimal,
when gathered In large quantities is In
jurious to health, and second, that bleach
ing is a fraud on the people which Is pro
hibited by the pure food laws.
Mr. Wilson said that the wheat of Ne
braska makes the best flour In the world,
but all of the hard wheat that stands win
ter's cold and summer's drouths leaves a
t'nge of yellow which the millers are now
selling as white flour. The secretary of
Agriculture laughed at the Idea hat the
fanners had accepted 20 cents reduction
on the wtKat of Nebraska and Kansas, and
that the millers had taken advantage of
this reduction by selling flour made from
Nebraska wheat at a price equal to flour
made from the spring wheat of the Dako
tas and Minnesota.
"The only people Interested In having
the ruling changed." said Mr. Wilson, "are
the manufacturers who make electric ma
chinery for bleaching and the millers who
have put machines in their mills. My ruling
protects the wheat producer and the flour
consumer."
Secretary Wilson Intimated to the sena
tors that if the persons desired, they could
go to the courts for review, and they would
more likely secure consideration of the case
much sooner than they could expect a
commission of chemists to pass on the
merits of the case.,
Borke for Ways and Meaaa.
There Is well defined rumor that Repre
sentative Burke of Sauth Dakota will take
the place on the ways anil means commit
tee made vacant by the retirement of Rep
resentative Bonynge of Colorado.
The South Dakota delegation Is working
together In harmony for the .first time In
years. The feud between Senators Gamble
and Kltifredge was somewhat relieved by
the defeat of Kiltredge by Governor Craw
ford. Senators Crawford snd Gamble are
In harmony. They called on President Taft
today to talk generally with him. They
have obtained his promise that he will
send to the senate next week the nomina
tion of E. E Wagner as United States
attorney for the state. Senator Gambia
could not put Wagner through while Scn
tor Kittredge was In. but now believes
there will be no trouble in that direction.
Representatives Burke and Martin of the
same state were formally consulted on
state patronage matters and have given
their assent to the Wsgner appointment,
although the .wo senators do not seem to
have bothered themselves whether this
assent was obtainable.
I. sad. far Dry Parmlag.
By an order of the Department of the
Interior about J.OUO.OoO acres of land in the
counties along the eastern border of Wyom
ing are to b thrown open at once to home
steaders, who are to be allowed to take
either 160 or tX acres. The land cannot be
Irrigated and will be of use, therefore, for
dry farming only. Those whq take the full
120-sere entries must make an attempt to
cultivate tha land, while those who go in
on the smaller holdings will not be com
pelled by the law to do so. , The throwing
open of thia land Is somewhat In tha nature
of an experiment to see what can be dona
with such land.

Rheumatism is in reality an internal inflammation a diseased condition of
the blood cells which supply the nourishment and strength necessary to sus
tain our bodies. Uric acid, an Irritating, inflammatory accumulation, gets
into the circulation because of physical irregularities, and then instead of
nourishing and invigorating the body, the blood irritates and inflames the
different nerves, tissues, muscles and joints, because of its impure, acrid
condition. The pains and t aches and other disagreeable and dangerous S3'ntp
toms of Rheumatism can never be permanently cured until every particle of
the cause is driven from the blood. S. S. S. does this because it is a perfect
blood purifier. It goes down to the very bottom of the trouble, purifies and
cleanses the circulation, invigorates the blood, and completely drives Rheu-
matism from the system. Plasters, liniments, soothing lotions, etc., may
be used for the temporary relief and comfort they bring, but a cure cannot
be effected until S. S. S. has removed the cause. It frees the blood of every
impurity and makes it a rich, health sustaining fluid, to bring permanent
relief and comfort to those who suffer with Rheumatism. Book on Rheuma
tism and any medical advice free to all who write.
