BLIND MOTHER GOES TO RESCUE OF SON She Heard Shots From Maniac's Gun Which Told of Triple Tragedy.

ONE DEAD, TWO WILL DIE. i FRENZIED BY DRINK, FARM HAND SHOOTS WEALTHY ILLINOIS - FARMER, HIS HOUSEKEEPER, : AND THEN SHOOTS HIMSELF. Batavia, 111., Aug. 13. Leaving her ton and his housekeeper dying in their ' farmhouse, their maniacal assailant stretched on the floor before them, ( dead by his own hand, a 90-year-old ; blind woman groped her way for a ) quarter of a mile to the nearest nelgh1 bor to give the alarm. Then overcome by the horror, she fainted, The dead man was John Larson, a farm hand. The victims were J. A. i Morrill, a wealthy and philanthropic 'farmer, and Mrs. May Balcom. Neither will probably recover. Frenzied by drink and angered by his employers' remonstrances, Larson came upon the pair and emptied the 'charges of a shotgun at them. Then ; by another process of his maddened brain, he sat them upright on chairs .and began to bind their wound3 with - handkerchiefs. Morrills's feeble mother heard the shots and entered the room. "I won't kill you, old lady," said 'the maniac, "sit down and make yourself at home." Then began a torturous four-hour ' vigil, the maniac standing guard with his gun, the blind old woman unable 'to see how badly her son was hurt '. and he not daring to utter a sound exicept the groans he could not restrain. - Suddenly Larson . sprang from his i chair. "Well, nobody is coming to j shoot me after all," he cried. "I bei lieve I will shoot myself." He placed the muzzle of the gun against his thigh and blew his head off. Knowing that the danger was i passed ' the blind woman groped her way from the house and hurried with tottering, uncertain steps to bring aid to her son, whose death will leave her alone in the world. CURED HAY FEVER AND SUMMER COLD A. S. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana, writes: "Last year I suffered for three months .with a summer cold so distressing that it interfered with my business.

In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna,' the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottfa.

Hand Morning EMPEROR HIDES IN AUTO FOR FIRST TIME Francis Joseph and King Edward Take a Spin. - . Ischl, Aug. 13. Emperor Francis Joseph, who recently celebrated his jubilee as ruler of Austria-Hungary, took his first ride in an automobile yesterday, accompanying King Edward on a lengthy tour in the provinces near Ischl. The Emperor at first was averse to entering the machine, but on returning to the villa after the trip the Emperor expressed his delight at the novel experience. The Emperor last night entertained King Edward at a gala dinner during the course of which toasts were exchanged expressive of the mutual pleasure of the visit. Baron von Aerenthal, the AustroHungarian minister of foreign affairs, and Sir Charles Hardinge of the British Foreign Office conferred on Turkey and the Balkans. The two statesmen agreed that the only possible attitude for, the powers of Europe was to extend a sympathetic hand and refrain from any action that might prove embarrassing to those trying to establish a more enlightened regime in the Ottoman Empire.
