The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. . Price fifty cents
per bottle.

supposed to be of temporary duration,
as mills and other works are starting
up in different parts of the country.
Their effect will be felt in the near
future. The business which the Burl

called quiet, is of considerable volume,
considered with former dull times. The
carrying capacity of the engine which
pulls the ordinary train is doubled and
trebled over what ' it was in former
years, and the business can now be
done when it is considerable and still
appear as being insignificant.
SHUT DOWN ALL
ALONG THE LINE
Burlington Lay Off Men For the Re
mainder of the Week.
From the following from the Lincoln
Journal of this, morning, it will be
noticed that the "shut down" order
issued yesterday, takes effect in all the
Burlington shops west of the Missouri
river:
"Orders were issued at noon yester
day to foremen of Burlington shops on
the Lincoln division that no more work
would be done in the shops during the
week. The order went no farther and
the men expect to report for work on
Monday. If a further shut down has
been determined upon that determi
nation has not been announced.
"This order affected 580 employes at
Havelock, perhaps fifty men in Lincoln,
and a number of men in other shops on
the lines west.
"Thirteen machinists were laid off at
the Havelock shops on Tuesday.
In one part of the Havelock shops are
eight engines, six ready to be sent out
after having received repairs, and two
yet being repaired. In the other part
of the shoPs twenty-two engines are

"It is said the shopmen of Havelock,
while not appreciating such layoffs, pre
fer to see the work divided among many
men in this manner to a greater reduc
tion in force. If the work continues
regularly from now on, eight hours a
day and five days a week until business
picks up, it is said the men will accept
the situation gracefully.
It is announced that the order applies
to Wymore, McCook, Plattsmouth,
Akron, Alliance, Sheridan and Edge
mont as well as Lincoln and Havelock,
and that it will mean a reduction in the
January expense bills of between $8,000
and $10,000." . -
