The united Glass Company and its Local
Plant.
The glass workers committee
which is endeavoring to form local
company to either establish new
plant here or purchase the present
one which the United Glass company
has suspended, recently wrote the
company asking answers on one of
two propositions. the first relating to
the second to a lease. So far the
committee has received no answer
from the United Glass company, but
Phil Mitchell, the local director in
the corporation. who has just re-
turned from Chicago, had an inter-
view with T. D.. Catlin, president of
the company, who stated that the
company would prefer not to lease
under any circumstances. but was
willing to dispose of the plant on very
easy figures and that in few days
the local committee would be notified
to that effect.
Let's Hope it VIII Win.
With this encouragement the ener-
getic local committee ought to eN-
perience little difficulty in getting
up company, despite the tightness
of money matters. 1t is believed the
local sash factories will feel that
they can afford to take considerable
stock in the enterprise; in fact, con-
troll the most of it, as the advant-
ages of the maintenance of the factory
here, which is of so much concern to
all business men, will be more to
them than to any other industry.

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 worlds 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 perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t 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 SOC and 81 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,

TIE STATE SQUARES UP.
Il Pays Over Twelve Thousand Dollars

Oak Park Wants n Bridge and the
Elk Grove Water Company
Wants a Franchise.

The Supervisors did not have much be-
fore them to vary the monotony of the
session yesterday, the most of the day
being taken up in endeavoring to clear
their desks of the. number of bills
which had accumulated during the
month. Fortunately the county had a
windfall, in the shape of sack, to meet
them with. 1t came all in a lump, and
amounted to $l2, l64.
The board learned more than year
ago that the county was justly entitled to
commissions from the State in consider
alton of the fact that the county has for
more than twenty years been collecting
the States share of taxes. r. Z. Devlin
was engaged to collect the commissions
due, if possible. This latter proviso was
necessary, for it is much easier to pay
money into the State Treasury than
to get it out again; but the Legislature
smoothed the way. Other counties were
in the same fix, and wanted their money,
and enough legislators were found who
were alive to the interests of their con-
stltuentS to procure the passage of a bill
last winter authorizing the Controller to
repay 10 such counties as were entitled
thereto the sums due them.
Attorney Devlin thereupon put in a
claim for Sacramento County for the
above amount. Although the yearly
commission did not amount to much, in
the aggregate it became very nice little
plum.
Acting County Treasurer Greenlaw,
Auditor johnson and Mr.. Devlin re-
celved the full amount yesterday, by
order of the Controller, and it is safe in the
County Treasury. The county has been
fortunate this year, large amount hav-
ing been recently paid into the hospital
fund. Nevada, Colusa and Santa Clara
Counties will also make cleanup in the
same way, and no doubt it will be as well
come to them as to US.
OTHER BUSINESS.
n. A. Bunce, resident of Oak Park,
appeared before the board and asked on
behalf of that place, to have bridge con-

This is the same one which the City
Trustees have been several times asked
to build, and Supervisor Curtis, to
whom the matter was referred, will con-
suit the Mayor about it,
Isaac Joseph asked the board for a fran
chlse OF torty-eight years, in behalf of
the Elk Grove Water Company, which
has been incorporated to supply that
place with water, and presented a petit
ton for the franchise, signed by the di-
rectors of the company.
The matter was referred to the District
Attorney.
