An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa 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 fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
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 the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

County Commissioners Meeting.

The Owyhee Board of County Com
missioners adjourned on Tuesday after
an eight days session, a large portion
of which time was employed in revising
the assessment rolls. The Avalanche
will publish this week, the report made
by Mr. Mark Leonard, the expert en-
ployed by the board to go over the
books for the purpose of ascertaining
as nearly as practicable the amount the
county is actually in debt. Since the
burning of the court house and the
destruction of the records, nearly 20
years ago, no one has been able to come
approximately near estimating the
amount of outstanding warrants.
When it was decided to bond the
county to raise money to start anew on
& cash basis, three or four years ago, it
was estimated that sixty thousand dol
lars would suffice, but now the expert
figures all the Indebtedness up to one
hundred and six thousand. This, after
selling the bonds, leaves floating debt
still in existence of forty-six thousand
dollars. But, to Offset greater portion

them that only one of the bevy had

one of them had ever seen a moving

Oh, but it was fun to watch them
when they were turned loose in the big

when they went to bed that night, Sleep
ing out on a porch in the open air, they
were just about as tired as lot of
little mischievous rogues ever get.
1t was the first time any of them had
ever slept without roof over them, and
good Mrs. Crocheron almost prayed
that lot of cayotes would come over
the hill and howl during the hight as
they frequently do, just to give the
girls another experience.
The next morning they were taken
down to Mrs. Joyce's ranch, two miles
below, where they had another great |

cherries to bring home with them.

Manager EuntIcy Here.

Manager Huntley, of the DeLamar
company, arrived in Grapgeville last
night and started at noon today for
Buffalo Hump. He was accompanied
by J. ]. Bennett, Rufus Hawley and
Mark W. Musgrove. Messrs. lIuntley
and Bennett will be back in Grange
vile about the 10Th or 10Th inst. 1t is
understood that an extension OF time
the Big Buffalo's first payment has been
asked for and granted. There is an
impression abroad amounting to a
certainty that recent developments in
the showing of this property, particu-
larly that Of the Oro Fino, have caused
the DeLamar company to view their
bond with complacency, and there will
be no hitch in the making of the first
payment. This means much for the
camp, and even more for the coming
commercial center of the Clearwater
country.
A wonderful change has come over
the local mining and business aspect
within the past week. Confidence not
only appears to be thoroughly restored,
but operators and merchants alike ex-
press stronger faith than ever in the
resources of this great section.- Grange

BIG INTEREST IN
ARION CONCERT

The auction sale for the Arion concert
to be given for the benefit of the Cali
fornia Volunteers reception fund at the
Alhambra Theater to-day at noon prom
ises to be a gala affair and is expected
to duplicate the financial success of the
sale at the Orpheum last Thursday.
The citizens committee of forty promi-
nent Germans. appointed by Chairman De
Young of the finance committee, will take
charge OF the sale and they have ali
expressed their .intention to gather in a
large amount of money to help the good
cause.
The generous offer of the New York
Arions should meet with hearty re-
Spouse from the public. Their singing is
a rare treat and once enjoyed will never
be forgotten. Aside from this 1t must be
known that only the spirit of contagious
patriotism which perVades the entire COM
munity has prompted this noble band of
Germans to assist in raising the neces-
sary money to fittingly receive the Cali
fornia soldiers who sacrificed so much in
the defense of their country.
The rumOr was current on the street
yesterday that a wealthy German citizen
will emulate the example of Mrs. a. S.
Townsend, vino, set the pace for the
Orpheum sale by her substantial bids.
1t is said that the citizen referred to
will bid considerably above the $1,000
mark for the choice of the first box. How
ever true that may be, it is absolutely
certain that a number of patriotic Ger
mans will be at the sale prepared to dive
deep down in their pockets on this oc-
casion. 1t is expected that both the boxes
and seats will bring q splendid advance.
and the successful bidders will have the
added advantage Of being present at the
most notable musical affair ever wit
messed in San Francisco.
Already many requests for seats have
been received at the Alhambra box office,
but these Will only be considered after
the auction sale is concluded. The doors
of the theater will be opened at 1880 and
it is hoped that only Intending bidders
will take the seats which have been re-
served for them at the sale. Wendell
Easton has repeated his generous offer
to conduct the auction and will be as
sisted by Colonel J. l.. Lyon and the able
corps of assistants who made the Or
pheum sale the distinctive success that
it was.
The wealthy visitors who have contrib
uted their time and talents will be on
hand to spur timid bidders and will prob
ably themselves catch the auctioneer's
eye once in awhile. The Alhambra will
hold two thousand people, and it is GER
tain that every nook and Crevice will be
occupied both a the auction sale this
morning and at the concert Tuesday
night.
