THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

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

May Enioin Them

There is movement on foot to
enjOin the board Of county commits.
soners from accepting and paying for
the two bridges just completed over
Falls creek near Caldwell. The com.
missioners are down there today
inspecting the bridges, but may reject
them. Considerable dissatisfaction
is expressed over the construction Of
the bridges. The one just south Of
Caldwell has an approach over 60 feet
high which is very steep. There is also
a steep climb at the other end OF the
bridge to reach the road on the south
side of the creek.
The complaint about the other
bridge is that the piles are not sunk
to bedrock, and that the bridge is
weak and unsafe. The injuctiUn (if
such action is taken) will be procured
on the ground that the contract for
the bridges was let privately instead
of publicly as the law requires. A
public letting OF contracts means that
legal notice must first be given in the
Official county paper and bids adyer-
tiSed for.
Should the commissioners accent
the bridges and be enjoiued from pay.
Ing for them, the bridge compa1ies may
bring suit to recover under their con.
tracts and the county will thus be-
come involved in expensive lawsuits
with no great advantage to be gained
by winning in the end. Should the
bridge companies be ultimately de.
feated and then tear out che two
bridges in question, the county would
be compelled to build other bridges
to replace them. The probabilities
are that a good deal Of the complaint
made about the bridges is pure bum.
cOmbe, and if the injunction plan sue
ceeds the folly of it will be discovered
when TOO late.

Helm VS., Vols,

A very long and voiuminous case
involving most all the phases of the
question Of title to real estate, has
been filed in the appellate court here,
appealed from Sumner county.
The contest is for possession of some
property in Myers addition to Wei
lingtOn and is between NJ. Lou Helm
aud W. II. Vols, dating from 1893.
The property originally belonged to
John ClaypOOl. ClaypOol borrowed
sl,5OO Of H. V. Loving of Louisville,
KY, to start creamery. He failed
ln business, went to Kansas City,
started again and again failed. After
the second failure Hannibal Smith OF
Wellington, who had been a partner
OF ClaypOoPs, went to Kansas City and
secured a deed to the property 10
question in the name OF Anna Smith,
his daughter, promising to deed it
back when the taHgle Of the two fail
ures had been Strengthened out. MIR.
and Mrs. Claypool moved to Kentucky.
When the mortgage of LOving's fell
due on the creamery, he foreclosed,
and finding the value of the mortgaged
property insufficient to satisfy the
debt, he caused an attachmen to issue
10 the foreclosure suit and let it issue
on the property Mrs. Claypool and
her husband decided to Anna Smith.
Later, Smith sold the property to
Mrs. Helm while the Loving suit was
pending. The court gave Loving
ju igment against the property and il
was ordered sole. The matter wen,
by default, and was, in two or three
years, sold at sheriff's auction aud
bought in by Vols, The defendant in
this suit.
Mrs. Helm brought suit after Vols
took possession, and asked for eject.
ment. She was beaten in the district
court and taxed with the costs. She
brings the case to the appellate

The Milton P0stoffice

Jas. Lane Of Eden township, a Re.
publican, was in town last Friday at
the head OF a delegation of ten patrons
OF the Milton postOffice who came here
to protest to their boss against the
appointment Of Dave Mcdonald as
postmaster at that place and the re-
moyal Of the Office to his residence.
Milton is the pOstOffice in Eden
township. There is only one store
there, run by H. E. Burford, who lives
in the building. Burford has been
acling as postmaster, because there
was no one else who cared for the posi-.
tiOn on account OF the small salary
connected with it. Besides, his store
being the only one in Milton, there
was seemingly no other place there
that could be used as a pCstOtfice, and
the job always fell to him as a natural
consequence OF his "insularity."
Politics never cut any figure in the
postmasterShip question at Milton
heretofore.
About ten days ago BurfOrd's term
expired and Dave Mcdonald was ap-
pointed pOStm Isler to succeed him.
Mcdonald lives about quarter of a
mile uuwn the ROAD from the Milton
store. and the poStoflice was moved to
his residence. Under the new regime
when the farmers come to Milton to
trade they are compelled TO 20 a con.
siderable distance out Of their way to
get their mail, and are much incon.
venienced thereby and have set up a
howl. The delegation tina. came to
town Friday to protest, bore peti.
ton which set forth their grievances
10 writing and was signed by every
patron of the postOtfice with the posi-.
bic exception of one or two persons.
The delee atinn went home that
night, having learned that postofices
were instruments for beStOwing pollt.
ical favors, Instead Of public con.
vcniences. The delegation also felt
a slight sensation of having been
walked upon.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There Is
only one wav to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intiamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its FORMAL condi-
