HL1ith a better understanding of the
 w transient nature of the many phys ical ills which vanish before proper eff fDrts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts 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 constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrupo of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by III @he 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. Itis therefore all important, in order to get its bene- fcial effects, to note when you pur- chase, thatyou have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Go. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laXas tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most sl1illful physicians, but if in need of laxative, then one should have the best, and with the %ell-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

800 names was presented before the COM
mon council at Thursdays meeting,
asking for an appropriation of $40
month to pay the Library Building
company for the use of the clock. The
petition was placed on file and no action
taken. The whole trouble is occasioned
by the stubbornness of the members of
the council and the manager of the
clock. The inconvenience suffered by the
public should lead both sides to harmon
ize their differences and make mutual
concessions for the peoples benefit.

POMONA, Feb. 20.-The demurrer
filed by the attorneys of Ed B. Rives,
charged with illegal liquor selling, was
over-ruled to-day and the case set for
trial at 10 o'clock next Thursday morn
ing.
This morning at about S:45 it began
showing and for fully three hours the
fall continued. 1t was of sufficient
depth to afford much amusement to the
young people in the way of snowballing,
face washing and an occasional at
tempt at an improvised sleigh ride. The
rainfall of the storm Is 4S5 inches; to-
tai for the season, 1855 inches.

house, for the whole thing collapsed
this morning under the weight of the
snow. 1t has been used lately by John
Fuoua as a sort of corral, stable and
barn, but it is said no damage further
than the mere falling in of the old struc-
ture has occurred. 1t stood on the cor
ner of First and Rebecca streets south
across the Southern Pacific track from
the old DIR. Lane warehouse.
The motor that plies between Pomona
and North Pomona jumped the track
