THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only 10 the originality and
simplicity Of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which IL is
manufactured by scientific processes
known TO the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co only, and we wish 10 impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original reuBedy. As the
genuine Syrup OF Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFoRNIA Fro SYRUP Co.
only, n knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing Of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the mcdi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence Of its remedy. II is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as IL acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and IL does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order toget its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

NORFOLK PEOPLE PROTEST
Mass Meeting to Denounoe the Favoritism Of
Governor Holcomb.
DEMAND COMMISSION FOR THEIR OWN MEN
Son of Senator Allen Taken from An
other Regiment and Made Lieuten-
ant of Norfolk COmpany-His
Mother Asks Him to Decline.

NORFOLK, Neb.. May A.-(Special.)-
When the news reached Norfolk that Henry
Allen. son Of Senator w. v. Allen, had been
appointed by Governor Holcomb as second
lieutenant Of Company L. from Norfolk, 1t
created much unfavorable comment and up
roar, which eliminated in a mass meeting
at the city hall. which was very largely
attended last night. Henry Allen is mem
ber of the Allen Rifles OF Madison, in the
First regiment, while Company l. is part
of the Second regiment; therefore the ap
parent favoritism is greatly resented by
the people here, who feel that there are a
number Of young men in Company L better
qualified and certainly more entitled to pro-
motion in the regular order. During the
meeting a message was received from Mrs.
Allen Of Madison stating that she was op-
posed to the appointment Of her son in this
way and that she had already asked him
to resign his commission and remain with
his own company and that she had also
wired Senator Allen to use his influence to
the same end. Those sentiments were
heartily applauded and to give time for
this to be done the meeting adjourned until
next Monday night without passing any
resolutions

their vocations unmolested by the police.
They charge that the most vicious dens Of
infamy and disorderly resorts have been
licensed by them to sell liquor, in spite Of
protests and remonstrances, and protected
in their lawless operations. They charge
that the police authorities have connived in
tho conduct Of open gambling resorts and
that liquor licenses granted their proprie-
tors and subject to forfeiture have not been
revoked, in spite Of the plain violation Of
the law. They charge that the police force
Of the city has been perverted to political
ends and the taxpayers compelled to pay
the salaries of officers detailed to do po-
litical work at the behests Of candidates
for office and their campaign managers.
Instead Of exhibiting eagerness to learn
whether these charges are true and
whether men appointed by him to RESPONSE
BILE public positions have betrayed his con-
Hdence and disgraced his party, the re-
spondent asks this court to uphold him in
his refusal to investigate into their truth
or falsity and to endorse his action in re-
appointing and keeping them in office.
II the court gives its approval to the po-
sition of the respondent the law abiding
people OF Omaha are helpless to escape the
evils which have been inflicted upon them
through police misgovernrsant and notice is
given to the impeached commissioners that
they can continue their lawless practices
safe in the assurance that they will be
protected therein by the governor, free from
all judicial restraint.
