taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one

manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's 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

other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFOPNIA FIG SYRUP

Application Denied.

The District Commissioners were today
advised by their attorney to deny the appli-
cation of Mr.. John r. Shields for permission
to pay the general taxes due from 1880 10
1900 on sublots PAL to PAS, inclusive, square
e75 without interest or penalties. The ap-
plication was based upon the allegation that
the lots had not been properly assessed dur
ing the period in question. They were as
sessed in the name Of Alexander R. Shep-
herd, and it was claimed that the records
do not show that he was the owner.
The applicant does not pretend, says Mr..
Duvall, that he was misled In any way by
reason Of the assessment in the name of
Shepherd, and the Commissioners legal
adviser holds that he could not have been
misled, as he purchased the property on
certificate of title which showed the as
sessment.
1.-The penalties and COSTS" says Mr.. Du-
vail, which the Commissioners are desired
to remit and cancel are part of the de-
linquent tax, concerning which the same
court has said: The whole together are en-
forceable against and constitute lien upon
the property Burgdorf against the Dis
