Seven Ton Rock Falls Upon -Him
While Employed In the Monarch
Mine, 18 Miles From Sumpter.
Frank Marsh, bod of Mr. aud Mrs.
Georgo Marsh or this clti, was killed
by a cave-ih Wednesday at the Ore
pon Monarch mine, IS miles froni
Sumpter. Ho was employed with
the tunnel gang, which follows up the
miners with timbers to support the
loof and walls. While the unfortu
j'nte young man was engaged in thic
work tlie cavc-tn occurred, and his
life was crushed out beneath a de
scending mass o earth and rock. A
companion. Al Lake, was badly in
jured.
Frank Marsh was born November
SO, 1S70, in Hickory county, Missouri,
raid accompanied his parents to Wes
ton in June, 1875. His boyhood days
Wero Bpont here, and among his
schoolmates and playmates "Sloklo,
rs ho became known, was a general
favorite. Eight years ago he went to
California, lemainlng there until last
reu, when he came home on an ex
lundcd visit. In April he left for the
Sumpter mines, where he had been
employed up to the time of his death.
Willis Marsh, of this city, and
Charles Marsh, of Pondleton, broth
ers of the deceased, left, as soon as
possible for Sumpter to take charge
of tho remains, which they will escort
to weston for Interment. Weston
Leader. ,
To tho above may be added a 'few
fncts learned from J. B. Purdy, who
was in tho neighborhood of tho tho
accident when It occurred. He states
lha tthe first cave-in caught his cous
in across the feet and lower part of
tho legs, holding him fast. Before he
could be extricated a second fall
came, breaking his back and causing
other injuries that gave rise to the
belief that death must have been
practically instantaneous. The sec
ond fall upon him was a seven-ton
rock. Marsh's companion at work,
named Al I.ake, was seriously, though
not fatally hurt by the cave-in. In ad
dition to the relatives mentioned
above, by the Leader, there aro his
cousin, J. B. Purdy, of Pendleton, and
his sister. Miss Ida Marsh, who
lives at Weston.

Weston Leader Thinks it a Good Pur
chaseThat It Will Increase In
Value.
The purchaase of the C. A. Chap
man farm on McKay creek, near
Pendleton, for $11,000, Is not only a
good Investment on the part of the
county court, but offers a much more
practical means than the present in
adequate system of caring for the
county poor. Tho aged, sick and pen
niless unfortunates whom the public
is In duty bound to support, will be
provided with a pleasant, healthful
home, and those of them who are able
to labor may become in a measure
self-sustaining by tilling the rich soil
of the Chapman farm.
The place is well improved with
houses and fencing, and well stocked
with implements, horses and Jersey
cows, which are Included in the deal.
Forty acres are In alfalfa, yielding
five tons per acre, and 120 acres more
can be mado to produce this crop. At
the rate Umutlila county land is In
creasing In value, the Chapman place
will never be worth less than the
purchase price, and it can gradually
be converted into an ideal poor farm

Parasites Cause All Hair Troubles.
Nine-tenths ot the diseases of the
scalp and hair are caused by parasite
gorms. The Importance of this dis
covery, by Professor Unna, of the
Charity Hospital. Hamburg, Germany
can not be overestimated. It explains
why ordinary hair preparations, even
of the most expensive character, fail
to cure dandruff; because they do not
and they can riot kill the dandruff
germ. Tho only hair preparation In
tho world that positively destroys the
dandruff parasites that burrow up the
scalp into scales, called scurf or dan
druff, Is Newbros Herpiclde. In ad
dltlon to Its destroying the dandruff
germ, Herpiclde Is also a delightful
hair dressing, making the hair glossy
and soft as silk.

The Children Enjoy
Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment
which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that
healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When
a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and
strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would
sanction, because its component parts arc known to be wholesome and the remedy
itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and
parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup
of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by
fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally
without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually,
without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old
time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so
carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood,
strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not
needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only
the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality id due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative
principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and Juices, but also to our
original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do
not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to
increase their profits. Please to remember, the full iijine of the Company--CALIFORNIA
FIG SYRUP CO.- is printed on the front of every package. In
order to get its beneficial
effects it is always neces
sary to buy the genuine
only. For sale by all re
liable druggists.
