The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevcrs
gently yet promptly and enabling one
TO overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufa curing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy arc obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by Il method
known to the CALIroRNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Some Consequences of

Question.

The suits recently fled in the United
States Circuit court sgainst certain stock
holders the Northwestern Guaranty
Loan company Will undoubtedly be Of in
terest to the stockholders OF that defunot
corporation, II not to the general public
This company Vt will be remem bered built
a magnificent building In Minneapolis
and carried on there large mortgage
busins ass. In the course OF which IL issued
several series Of debenture bonds. These
bonds were held by various parties all
over the country, and to some extent In
this state. In May 1898, as is shown by
the papers in these cases, the corporation
became irsolvent and the usual receiver
was appointed. 1t soon bscame apparent
that the stockholders would have to be
called upon to contribute towards making
up the deficiency in ths corporation, and
1t was discovered that to extinguish liza
bility of over 50, 600. 600 there existed AS
sets amounting to less than $4,000. As
the outstanding capital stock held by
various stockholders at that time amount
ed at par to 81, ESQ. GOO. steps were taken in
Minnesota TO enforce the liability of
stockholders. which, In the State Of Min
nesota in corporations like this. is an
additional liability equal to the par value
OF the stock held by each stockholders.
The proceedings in Minnesota fixed the
liability of the various stockholders so
far as the Minnesota court could do 1t.
and thereupon proceedings were begun
by the special receiver for that purposesin
the various states whore these stockhold-
ers resided. The suits filed che other
day In this court are against payson
Tucker, Esq. of this city and against
Drusilla II. Manson Of Old Orchard,
each of whom held $500 worth OF stock.
Eben Winthrop Freeman. Esq, Of this
city and NJ. II. Boutelle. Esq, of Mime
apolis,a brother Of Congressman Boutelie
of Maine. appear for the receiver in both
cases. Messrs. Symonds, Snow 81 Cook
will appear for PaysSn Tucker and
George +. Haley of Biddeford for Mrs !.
Drusilla II. Manson. AS this is the first
case of this kind In this state under Min
nesota statutes the outcome will be re-
garded with some interest.
1t is uncertain when the case win come
