Would il not be advisable to take every
proper precsution TO conform with the
law, and have the city officers legally
elected? 1t 10 understood that the only
reason for not holding th;s registration
would be the expense. This would not
be grest-probsbly not to exceed $50
and 1t might save the city in future
litigation hundreds of dollars.
Suppose the city, under the forth.
eoming administration, desired to sell
its bonds, or became party to suit at

ton, not strictly conforming to the law,
be questioned, and in all probability cost
many times more than the necessary

which can do no harm?

Athletic Clubs Benefit Performance
From the days OF the Greek and
Romans when the development of the
physical powers formed large part of 9
youths training for his life work. when
the young men punched and struck
suspended leather sack filled with sand
or four-from which we get our modern
air-in4ated punching bag-when the
boxers used to delve in the ground to
strengthen their upper limbs, and the
annual games and contests we're the
events of life, down to the present day
the world has been, and probably always
will be, interested in the trained and
graceful human form. The supple limbs,
the watchful eye, the alert brain, all
making complete organism, never
cease to be admired. Feats of strength,
daring and skill never lose their fasci-
nation for the public and to the athlete
what at first was work, and hard work
too, becomes q pleasure and delight.
The fresh, new blood coursing through
the veins nerves and invlgorates and
gives sense of exh1laratlon and exuber-
ance that demands vent in exercise and
the display of the natural powers that
too often in this day and age are neg
lected.
The Athletic Club has in a measure
revived the games of ancient Rome ad-
apt1ng the Olympic games to the 10Th
century, and Will give new, novel and
instructive exhibit at the opera house
one week from today. There will be
surprises in the amount and variety of
the work done-much to instruct, plenty
to laugh at, and all to admire. The
entire benefit performance will be novel
and should not be missed by any one
The managers assure the best amatuer
performance ever given at the opera
house. March "a, Tuesd ay.

Gladness Comes

M|ith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante tforts-
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to 4 constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
y removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, III order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputa Bile druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllilltul
physicians, but if in need of a laxative.
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

Strohschneider, the famous %aeronaut,
astonished the natives Of Stockerau,
neal Vienna, by carrying q young bar
rister on his back along q tight rope so
meters i'll length fixed to the church stee-
pie. A few days later flaming posters
appeared Oh the walls announcing that
Strohschneider would effect q balloon
ascent in the company of Herr Pramper,
the popular landlord of the White Rose.
Notwithstanding the fact that the DO
lice had forbidden the landlord, who
has a large family. from taking part in
the performance, mine host entered the
Enclosure at the appointed time, to the
no small delight of the assembled null
titude. At a given signal the balloon
rose In the air, Strohschneider and the
landlord sitting on the trapeze beneath.
Some of the spectators declare that the
latter turned as pale as q sheet during his
upward flight, though he did not fail to
wave his hat TO the crowd. After reach
ing a dizzy height the two balloouists
were observed to quarrel and actually
como to blows.
All at once the landlord plunged head
long into space. A shout of horror arose
from the spectators, who ran to the spot
where they expected to find Pramper ly-

astonishment at discovering, not 81
