Repudiatss Supreme Coprt.

Omaha, Neb., May 23.-Judge Cum
bingham r. Scott of the district bench
has created talk again by making pub
lie declaration that he repudiates the
findings and opinions of the state SUI
preme court. In mandamus case
from Sarpy county one of the attor-
neys cited to Judge Scott some Me-
braska authorities. This was a little
too much for the jurist, who at once
shut him off, saying substantially that
he would not listen TO any decisions of
the supreme court of Nebraska, whose
Judges were incapable Of teaching him
law; he would not go to the supreme
court to learn law.

An Excellent Combination.

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 fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's 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
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
