An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF F1Gs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FtG 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 tho
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system ctfectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
maneutly. 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 manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste but the medicinal qualities of tho
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa 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.

Delinquent Paving Taxes.

Dr. G. O. w. Farnam Of this city has
rritten Navor Winnett a letter demanding
to know why the city has not taken some
steps toward executing judgment for $lll,-
600 delinquent paving taxes, rendered In the
district court several months ago against
the Lincolu Traction company in favor OF
the civ of lincoln. DR.. Farnam has threat
ened to enjoin the city If it officers at
tempt to compromise with the street car
company for less than the juGrmcnt and en-
account of the complicated condition of
affairs 1t will probably be several years
before the city RECEIVERS anything.
AS soon as judgment was rendered the
Traction company appealed the case to the
supreme court on a supersedeas bond for
$4,000, the amount OF the bond being fixed
by the court. Attorney G. O. Whedon.
counsel for Dr. Farnam, holds In a letter
to Mayor Winnett that the judgment has
never been superseded and that there is no
reason why the city should not go ahead
md execute the judgment. One section Of
the civil cCde relating to supersedeas bonds
provides that such bond shall be in the
sum OF twice the amount OF the judgment,
or in case the court orders the sale OF real
property the amount of the hond may be
fxed by the Judge. 1t is contended that
the bond filed by the street car company,
although in accordance with the order OF
the court, is so far cut of proportion to the
judgment, there being a difference of s10l,-
600 in favor of the Traction company. that
1t is not legal. The appealed case is now
pending before the supreme court, but 1t will
not be reached in the regular order for two
or three months.
Mayor Winnett has referred the letter OF
Dr. Farnam to City Attorney Webster and
will await his opinion before taking any
mi IN hA af hn
company has made numerous propositions
to the city looking toward compromise
and each one has been better than the pre-
ceding one, The case has been pending
in the courts for several years and has
been decided three times. once in favor OF
the company and twice in favor OF the city.
The last proposition was to settle for
$4,000 cash, the contention Of the street
railway company being that all OF the judg
ment over that amount represents back taxes
and penalties for their non-payment OF
