AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION
SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE BASED
ON MERIT.
The Importance of Informing the
Public of the Value of an Arti-
Gle Through the Leading
Newspapers.

The few remedies which have attain
ed to world wide fame, as truly bene-
fetal in effect and giving satisfaction
to millions Of people everywhere, are
the products of the knowledge of the
most eminent physicians, and present
ed in the form most acceptable to the
human system blythe skill of the
worlds great chemists,fand one of the
most successful examples is the Syrup
OF Figs manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. Unlike q host Of imi-
tations and cheap substitutes, Syrup
of Figs is permanently beneficial In
its effects, and therefore lives and pro-
notes good health. While inferior prep
aratfons are being cast aside and for
gotten. In olden times If a remedy
gave temporary relief to individuals
here and there, it was thought good ::
but nowadays laxative remedy must
give satisfaction to all.
In the process Of manufacturing this
pleasant family laxative figs are used :;
but the medicinal properties of the
remedy are obtained from an excellent
combination of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and to act most
henefcially. AS the true and original
remedy, named Syrup Of Figs, is manu-
featured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, a knowledge Of that fact will
assist in avoiding the worthless imita-
tons manufactured by other parties.
The company has selected for years
past the leading publications Of the
United States through which to inform

LOYAL TO THEIR MOTHER
TIME HER ANNUITY AT ORIG
NAL AMOUNT
Property Originally Set Apart for
Its Payment Has Decreased In
PrOductiveneSs, So That Addi-
tiOnal Property Is Needed,

The matter of the estate Of John l..
Merriam, deceased. came up yesterday
In district court with the commence
ment of q suit by the trustees, William
r. Merriam, Helen NJ Merriam and
Chas. II. Bigelow versus John w. Mer-
Ram, Robert H. Merriam. Alanson w.
Merriam, Jennie E. McKenna and
Henry S. Woodward. as trustee in
bankruptcy of Robert H. Merriam The
trustees ask that they be granted per-
mission to sell part Of the estate in or
der to carry out the condition of the
trust giving Helen NJ. Merriam, the
widow. $4,000 per annun.
1t appears that under the will of John
L. Merriam. who died Jan. IL. 1895, the
widow was given an annual income
from a part Of the estate to amount
to $4,000. By final decree of the pro
bate court On Nov. 4, 1895, there was
turned over to the trustees for the pur-
pose Of carrying out this provision 300
shares Of First National bank stock,
125 shares of ST. Paul Fire and Marine
Insurance stock, seventeen bonds of the
Superior Water, Light and Power com
pany. eleven municipal bonds of Sioux
City. and $50 shares of stock in the
Merchants National bank
Since 1897, according to the trustees,
the income from the stocks and bonds
has fallen and for the past two years
has been. below $4,000 per annum. Fur
therrnere, an assessment of $45 per
share has been made by the comptroller
Of the treasury on the stock of the
Merchants National bank, which
would aggregate on the stock in trust
$11 $50.
The plaintiffs believe that the true
meaning and intent of the bequest was
to provide for the payment of $4,000
annually to Helen NJ. Merriam. and for
that purpose ask for permission to sell
a portion of the stock. to settle the as
sessment, and such other property as
they may see fit to make UP the annual
income provided for under the will.
Furthermore. lit appears that the plain
tiff Bigelow resigned his position as
trustee In 1898 and has been DESTROYS
of not serving any longer but the other
trustees have been unable to agree un-
til recently. when they decided upon
Theodore Borup, of st. Paul, as a suit
able person. The court is asked to APP
point Borup as trustee.

Insurance Commissioner Dearth
Calls at the Odd FeIIows Acct

Nobody was at home yesterday when
Insurance Commissioner Dearth called
at the office of the Odd Fellows Acct
dent insurance company at room 10,
ODD Fellows block, and as no one
could be found that knew anything,
either of the key or of the affairs of
the company, the commissioner went
back to the capitol as wise as ne went
Then Mr.. Dearth declared his intention
or calling on some of the people linden
tined With the concern for an explana-
ton regarding the rubber stamp and
also of the whereabouts of the books
Should the examination develop any
Irregularities receiver will be asked
for and the affairs of the concern
wound up
1t appears inexplicable to those not
ON the inside that the Odd Fellows In
surance company could have been do
ing business, as the ostensible presl-
dent w. r. Johnson, claims, for four
years without his becoming acquainted
with the fact. AS secretary of the Odd
f'elloWs, he was in charge OF the prop
erty belonging to the order in ST Paul,
ne FOR long time prior to his election
to the office Of county auditor occupied
a desk in the same office, where the
a11a1rs OF the insurance company were
conducted
That none of the 800 policy holders
never came officially in contact with
the president Of the company in which
they were mutually interested or az
members of the same order, Is consid-
cred most unusual circumstance
Such, however. was the case, according
to the county auditor, and nothing ever
reminded him of the existence of the
order until man came in and COM
planned. Then came complaint, fol-
lowed by another on the same day, the
only two in four years, and the dis
covery followed
The general manager of the company
and who had charge of the books, is
still in a hospital suffering from
paralytic stroke, and unable to talk.
His co'9dition is regarded as serious
