Syrup of Figs is not built on those lines. Jtacts naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthens \ the internal organs and leaves them in a healthy condition. If in need'of a laxative remedy the most excellent is Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is required the safe and scientific plan is to consult & competent physician and mot to resort to those medicines ‘which claim to cure all manner of diseases.

A.—Well, that Mr. Daniels had spoken to kim about indorsing his note (Mr. Daniels was present at that time). and that he had told bim just as I had, that if Daniels could show him that it was a payitg proposition and good from a financial stand- point, that he (Dalton) wouldn't have any objection to indorsing his note. Q.—Was the amount mentioned then? I think not. Q.—Was it then agreed or understood that you and Dalton were to indorse the same note? A.—1I couldn't say as to that. Dr. Pardee had parried the questions so successfully that Mr. Ach finally said: Q—Doctor, would you prefer to go on in your own way and tell your entire connection with this thing? Collins Had Last Say. A.—Why, I bave no objection in the world to doing that. I think I have detalled to you A— | up siong, say the third or fourth conversation when Mr. Daniels asked me to indorse his note, and brought in Mr. Dalton, who elso said he would indorse the note if the thing were made to show up in good shape, which was after- ward shown to my eatisfaction; and it was then agreed that under those circumstances note. Soon after that Mr. Danlels sajd that he had been consulting with Leach and Nye and Col- line; that they had agreed to : stock. The amount I have forgotten. whether it was $55,000, or $35,000, or $40,000, or $50, I don’t remember; and that Mr. Collins, who had the final say or veto power in the matter was to give him an answer, I think, the next The next day; or the next day after that, ol vithin very few days, 1 eaw Mr. Daniels, and he said that Mr. Collins had fallen down @t the last moment and had vetoed the sale. In the meantime, or shortly after, or shortly before Mr. Hadley came to me and said that & majority of the stock of the Enquirer was for sale; wanted to know If I wanted to buy it. J told him I did not. He said he wouid see me again, and as soon as I saw Daniels I reported this conversation to him, and he asked me then If I would act as his agent to purchase the stock, af If I were purchasing it for myself. I told him I would Next time I sew Hadley negotiations were opened up, and gither at Hadley's suggestion or my own, which I have forgotten, Dalton was again in- terjected and negotiations dragged along for some little time; and finally, I think, that at Dalton's—or at Danlels’—suggestion it was suggested to Hadley that H. N. Dalton secure an agreement from Leach, Nye and Collins for the sale of the stock to H. N. Dalton; and I understarl that was done, aithough I know nothing about it of my own knowledge; that the agreement was given and that H. Dal- tor, who was acting as Daniels’ agent, secur: the agreement, and immediately upon secu ing it turned it over to Danicls. Upon (h agreement, which I never saw at all until t Wednesdad preceding the Friday upon whic Danlels' deposition was begun, upon this agree- ment Daniels secured the 500 shares of stock which he now owns. That in a general way is all T know about it. . “Right Off the Bat,” Says Pardee. Then Mr. Ath was compelled to resort to questions once more, and the doctor told how he got into the negotiations in erson. The questions and answers fol- ow: Q.—Then, doctor, the original negotlations fell through by reason of the vetoe on the part of Mr. Collins my understanding.

A.—The fact that Mr. Hadley said that the majority of the stock was for sale, and wanted to know if I wanted to buy it. Q.—You then went to your f riend, Mr. Dan- fels, and told him what Mr. Hadley had said, and was it then and at once that he asked you to become his agent in the matter of the pur- chase of the paper or the stock? A.—I think it was right off the bat. Q.—What did he say to you that caused you to conclude he had reached the conclusion that he wanted you to act as his agent? A.—Why, he told me so. Q.—What language did he use? A.—Why, I think he said, *‘Go, buy it for me.” Q.—Any limit on the price? A.—No; I don’t ‘think there was. The Doctor Was the Whole Thing. Q.—Then you were made the agent with full power and authority to agree upon price, what you should buy and everything of that kind? A.—I think it was a sort of a minister ex- traordinary and envoy plenipotentiary. Q—You then started in mnegotlations with whom? A.—Hadley. Q.—Now, you went on WIth these megotia- tions yourself with Mr, Hadley? A.—Yes, and Mr, Dalton was also_interjected again. Q.—Did you meet Mr. Nye or Mr. Leach in connection with it then? A.—No. Q—What was it that Mr. Hadley was deavoring to sell and you to purchase? Stock in the BEnauirer. Q.—You then, did you, examine Into the af- fairs of the corporation? A.—I had already done that through these reports that were made by Danfels and Williams, Q.—DId you make any further investiga- tlons? A.—None, except what Hadley told me. Q.—What djd he tell you?' A.—Well, he gave me, as 1 remember, a statement of the affairs of the corporation. Q.—Do you remember what that statement was? A.—I do not. County Assessor Dalton was “injected’ into this second stage of the proceedings at the request of Mr. Hadley, because he would be a good man to have back of the purchase. Q.—How did Mr, Dalton happen to be pres. ent at that interview? A.—I think it was at Hadley’s suggestion, either at Hadley's or my own, which I don't remember, Q. —Had you mentioned Dalton in connection with the matter to Hadley? A.—I think Had- ley mentioned him to me first. Q.—In what wax? A,—Well, that it would be well perhaps to have Mr, Dalton in. Q.—What was Dalton in for? A.—Wwell, now, I don't know, unless it was on the propo. sition that Mr. Dalton also had some financial standing in the community and would be a £00d man to have back. I don't remember, though. Q.—Back of what? P A.—Back of the pur- chase, i Kept Daniels’ Part Secret. Dr, Pardee owned to the fond impeach- ment of Mr. Ach thht he had writteq tgr the papers.” He sald that at different times before the purchase of the In- quirer by Mr. Daniels he had written ar- ticles for it during a bond fight and gev- eral political fights and a number of arti- cles on water, Dr. Pardee admitted that as far Hadiey knew in these Interviews he and Dalton were to be the purchasers, Dan- ieis not appearing In the transaction. Q.~Did you disclose to Hadley, u: to {he time that Mr. Dalton jotned you in the interview at your home, the fact that you were negotinting for some one elsc? A.—No, sir.

Tresident Castro’s Troubles Are Iu- ! creased by a New Outbreak + in the State of ' Carabobo. PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, March 3.— The ‘steamer Libertador, now operating | in the interests of the Matos revolution against President Castro of Venezuela, ! and whose name was reécently announced to have been changed to Bolivar, yester- day started to bombard the port of Guiara for the purpose of protecting the landing of insurgent forces there. Details of this action cannot be ob- tained, but it is believed here that the Government came out second best in the affair. This belief arises from the fact that there is‘a panic at Carupano, where measures of defense are being adopted. The Government forces at Carupano are actively engaged in placing a battery on a hill which dominates the anchorage. The guns in this battery have been taken from a Venezuelan gunboat. WILLEMSTAD, lsland of Curacao, March 2.—News has reached here that a revolutionary outbreak occurred yester- day in the viginity of Valencia, capital of the State of %Carabobo, Venezuela. The Govérnment hastily sent troops to the dis- turbed district. It is also reported here that President Castro is sending numerous reinforce- ments to the Colombian frontier. The Government seems to ‘have concluded that the situation on the frontier is seri- ous. s RAILROAD TELEPHONE WORKS SATISFACTORILY Train Crew Talks Ovei Wire While Telegraphic Communication Is Being Sent. CHICAGO, March 3.—In a test just made a train crew 400 miles from Chicago talked over the telegraph wires to Chief Operator Parsons of the: Illinois Central a result the railroad telephone was de- clared to be a success. The train was stopped near Fulton, Ky., .and the telephone was connected with the regular telegraph wire running to Chi. cago. In.spite of the fact that the mes- sage had to travel over iron wires, which | ran parailel to more than a score of other wires, every word was distinctly heard by Parsons. The inventor asserts it makes no differ- ence whether or not telegraphic messages are being flashed over the wires simulta- neously with telephone messages. This was tested by the successful transmission | of a telegraphic communication from Ful- | ton_at the same time Parsons was con- | versing with the crew, Drought Continues in India.

The indorsement of the Danlels note at the Central Bank was gone into. It took a lot of questions on the part of Mr. Ach, and the goctor would not give any detalls of the incident. He only knew the main facts, that he had indorsed a note ror Mr. Daniels for fssooo in 1858, at the Centrai Bank in Oakland. Tha date of the indorse ment he did not re:aember; he had not negotiated the loan ‘rom the bank, and thought_that the interest was 6 or 7 per cent. The note was made payable in a year from date. As He had never received any demands from the bank for p.incipal or interest, he presumed that the arrange- ments made between the bank and Mr. Danlels were satisfactory. He had never Railroad at the Twelfth street depot.

Butler of Pres- cott, Ariz., one of the most widely known pioneers of this coast, dled here yesterday after a brief ill- ness. He had been ill several days, but no serious result was apprehended and | his death was unexpected. General Butler was born in Bedford, { Ind., in 1826, and came to California with the early ’4%ers, crossing the plains with ox teams. He first engaged in mining in Tehama ‘County, but soon abandoned that to enter the mercantile business in Colusa, later removing to Idaho.

NEW YORK, March 3.—Emphatic de- nials have been made by financiers ‘and railroad officials interested in the North- ern Securitles Company that it is pro- posed to incorporate a company under the laws of Canada legally equipped to protect the interests of shareholdgrs in the railroad ‘merger in the event of em- barrassment owing to President Roose- velt's instructions to Attorney Gereral Knox. - ‘What is peculiar 'in the face of those denials is the fact that for some time there has been talk among well informed financiers of a possible organization of a company in England or' Canada for the udministration of the affairs of the Northern Securities Company if an ad- verse decision of the courts should invali- date the merger. It is argued by these men that this Rolding corporation” was in no way connected with the operation of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific systems, which between them control the Burlington interests. With the consent of the stockholders who have invested in the merger securi- ties, the control exercised by the combi- nation can not be directed from foreign soil so far as the administration and lie adyisory officers are concerned. The in- vestors, however, who are unfamiliar with the corporation laws of other coun- tries, went into the merger as a com- any formed under the laws of New ersey, and according ‘to the opinion of a Well-known financier will be opposed to [ taking extraterritorial chances which they fnad not bargained for. President HIIl of the Securities Com- pany was not content with a denial of any international charter, but wished to bte quoted as saying he had never heard cf the plan before its publication. “I think I have a fair idea of what the company is doing,” he sald. “I know nothing about the Canadian charter. This {s news to me. That is all T wish to say. It seems to cover the ground.” &,m- e W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan & Co. said he had heard no(hlnfi of such a lan. ‘It is possible,”” he added, “that Fndepenaent ncorporators, acting on their own responsibility, have applied for a charter under the name of the Northern Securities Company, as a speculation. By this, I mean they are taking a chance of some day being able to dispose of the charter to the New Jersey corporation and exaggerate the possibiijty of invali- dation of the merger under the United States laws. The merger company has no need of a Canadlan charter to facili- tate the business for which consolidation was accomplished. ” my . personal knowledge there is nothing in it. I pre- sume to speak only from my own infor- mation."” made any investigation into the financial condjtion of Mr. Daniels, and when Mr, Daltén indorsed the note with him there was no agreement between them as. to the amount of responsibility each should assume. There had once been a conversa- tion between the doctor and Mr. Palman- teer of the Central Bank about this note, but the conversation was so unimportant I that Dr. Pardee did not remember it, Dr. Pardee disclaimed any knowledge whatever as to where the money to pay the interest was coming from. He sald that he had never received any securities from Mr. Daniels as 1‘“"" his obligation upon the note, and since his indorsement he had never asked Mr. Daniels for any financial statements of the paper’s condi- tion. Dr. Pardee said that he aid mnot know what salary Mr. Daniels was draw- ing until he read it in Mr. Collins’ com- aint. The last questions were upon Daniels knew about the news- paper_business, and the deposition ended with Dr. Pardee offering to give up the rest of the day, since the entire mornin ‘been taken up.

Dorris, a young stockman of Alturas, is In Red- ding, having brought down a drove of horses. Dorrjs is well known in Modoc County and Is familiar with public opinfon, and he has some interesting and pointed things to say of the lynching cases. ““The people of Modoc are satisfled with the verdict in ‘Jim' Brown's case,” sald Dorris. “They did not want a verdict of guilty. They believe in prosecution, but not {n persecution. ‘Jim™ Brown did net have"a -fair trial.” Asked how Brown did not have a fair trial, Dorris replied: “Because the Judge was against him. Judge Harrington's head was turned by the big lawyers who came up from below for the prosecution. I think the matter of the alleged lynchers is at an end—that not one will ever be convicted, though others may be tried. ‘Jim’ Brown was found not gulilty of lynching Martin Wil- son, but he is still in jail, charged with Iynéhing the four others. 'Modoc County is ‘dead broke’ and $3000 in debt over the Brown trial. Where the money is to come from for more trials I can't .say. And there never will be any convictions.” Dorris believes Danlel Miller is guard- ing Claude Wrrl! and John Hutton, the men who confessed, near Woodland. o generally wherever he. went, taking part in many of the events that made history in those early times, and then as after- ward throughout his - career he was knoyn as a man of ability and sterling int¢grity. While a resident of Colusa he was clerk of the historic first court of that county, and in 1863 he was appointed brigadier general of the California miii- la, Fifth Brigade, by Governor Stanford. General Butler's removal to Arizona Wwas occasioned by his appointment as Territorial Treasurer by Governor Hoyt, an office he continued to hold under Gov- ernors Fremont, Tritle- and Zulick. Dur- ing President Harrison's administration he was Recelver of Public Moneys for Arizona. His retirement from public life occurred about eight years ago, and since then he has spent his time traveling through the United States. He and his wife, formerly Miss C. E. Blake of Boston, Mass., whom he married in 1 came to Pacific Grove in December last. General Butler has been a high Mason for more than forty years, belonging at the time of his death to Atzlan Lodge of Prescott, Ariz. He was a writer of no small repute. . The funeral, which will take place here to-morrow, will be conducted by the local lodge of Masons. BOERS HARASS - BAITIH FORCES |Lord Kitchener Sends Details of the Dis- aster at Vodonop.

The British | casualties were: Killed, wounded and | prisoners, 632. In addition the Boers cap- tured two guns.
