Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup stimu-
lates the liver and thoroughly cleanses
the system and clears the complexion
of pimples and blotches. 1t is the best
laxative for women and children as it
is mild and pleasant, and does not grippe

Pills, aperient waters and all ordinary
cathartics as it does not irritate the

June next. Ice harvest is on with them
and other arrangements are going for

Early spring is hard time for the
horse. Heavy loads are, as always, the
fashion and the going is slippery. Often
the animals are not properly shod, and
often-much two often, indeed-the
drivers seem to know nothing about
the mysteries of handling their teams.
Genoa creamery company recently
held its annual meeting and declared
Genoa a dividend of 81, 900 to distribute
among patrons, which is said to be
fine financial showing for the years

tenant of the Commercial club. Other
parts of the building are leased to good
know OF the propositions are enthusiastic
over securing the building.
The proposition is to issue bonds suffi-
cient to cover the purchase price, and it Is
believed there would be no difficulty in
placing 100 or rs bonds Of $1,000 each, which
would undoubtedly bear interest. The
present quarters Of the club are on the
fifth floor OF the Board Of Trade building
at Sixteenth and Farnam streets. The
rooms are quite unsatisfactory. The COM
parry which owns the building makes no
frequently members OF the club wait what
seems an unearthly long time for the ele-
vatoT which hauls freight. and must serve
all tenants Of the building, making It an
noying to get to the fifth floor or call the
elevator to the club room.
In the building which the club Is looking
over the elevators are better and it is pos
sible to have an elevator for the use of THE
club il the rooms are located on ore Of
the floors above the second story.
The proposition to secure new quarters
was up just a year ago, but the financial
furry and some opposition and misunder-
standing as 10 whether the club should
move north or south. prevented any move
being made. But the proposition OF new
quarters has never beer entirely dismissed,
according to a member Of the house COM
