SECURES PROMISE OF CONSIDERATION
Committee Armani of r laeonliollna
llorineati Agrees to lilar t l
the Matter by Xett
Monday.
At Tuesday evening's session of the coun
cil Harry B. Zimman. the lone republican
member of that body, stirred up his con
ferees In the mat'er of three pending street
eer ordinance, these providing for thirty
tickets for $1 for school children, six tickets
for 25 cents and transfers at any point
with the exception that passengers may not
receive transfers enabling them to nikc
a roundtrlp for one fare. The discussion
waited warm for several minutes. Mr.
Zimman charged the committee on rail
ways with pigeon-holing communlcationa
referred to them Instead of bringing them
up for consideration within the thirty daya
provided by law.
"If these ordinances will be brought up
at the meeting of the general committee
next Monday afternoon I will . not Insist
upon a consideration this evening," said
Mr. Zimman. , Chairman Brucker of the
committee on railways agreed to bring
the ordinances up next Monday afternoon
and President Johnson declared Zlmman's
point wall taken.
Zimman Aaka Hearing;.
Mr. Zimman Insisted that the street rail
way propositions now pending be given a
fair and square hearing. "I am reliably
Informed that even the street railway com.
pany condemns the present transfer ordi
nance and I inilst these ordinances be
brought up," added Councilman Zimman.
Continuing he said: "1 Invite to the coun
cil chamber next Monday afternoon repre
sentatives of th street railway company
ana citizens In general, that these matera
may be discussed on their merita. But It
has been demonstrated that the street
railway officials will not appear In this
oouncll chamber openly and above board.
There are more people today complaining
of the present transfer ordinance than ever
before in the history of th city."
Mr. Zimman quoted atatistics from other
cities to show that Omaha is holding the
sack so far as receiving its dues from the
local company, which, he declared, would
not glv proper transfers, repair necessary
pavements nor pay for the us of viaducts.
Mr. Zimman deemed these things of para
mount Importance to tba cltlsena of Omaha
and said they ahould receive proper con-
alderatlon at th hand of th councilman.
Councilman Elsasser rose to exclaim that
th recent transfer ordinance waa th best
piece of legislation ever passed by any city
oouncll in ths whole world since the time
Adam and EVe played in the garden.
Demand for Grler to Settle.
The council adopted a concurrent resolu
tion. Introduced by Councilman Funk-
bouser, directing the mayor to make a de
mand forthwith on Lee Orler, former clerk
of th police court, for the sum of $3,143,
amount of alleged shortage referred to by
Comptroller Lobeck In his report handed
th mayor October 6.
In Una with the Qilchrlst-Lobeck con
troversy over the checking of city offices,
Councilman Funkhou9er offered a concur
rent resolution ordering the surety com
panies to check up the city comptroller
and treasurer with a view to determining
th sufficiency of the systems of bookkeep
ing now In vogue In those offices, the ex
pense of such checking to he born by the
surety companies. Th resolution was
adopted.
' -Defective Sidewalk. ' ' "
Three more reports were received1 by the
council last evening from ' cltisena com
plaining of defective sidewalks. The mat
ter of sidewalks was discussed Monday
afternoon at the general committee meeting
and the result of that discussion was the
introduction las evening of a resolution di
recting the street commissioner to proceed
to repair auch aidewalks aa the city en
gineer shall specify, the cost of such work
to be taken from the street commissioner's
fund a the sidewalk fund has been ex
hausted for thla year.
L. E. Wettllng. whose system of account
ing was adopted In the city comptroller's
office, sent the council a lengthy communi
cation, the gist of which was that he ex
amined the comptroller's accounts a few
days ago and found that everything waa
being done that could be by the comptroller
to guard the city's interests, but recommended-
that the bonding companies make
a check to satisfy all concerned. The let
ter was filed.

i The Children Enjoy
Life out of doors and out of the game which they play r.d ths enjoyment
which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that
healthful development which la so essential to their happiness when grown. When
a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and
strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would
sanction, because Its component ports are known to be wholesome and the remedy
itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and
parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, Its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is - Syrup
of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by
fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally
without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually,
without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old
time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so
carefully guarded. If you would ha them grow to manhood and womanhood,
strong, healthy and happy, do net giv them medicines, when medicines are not
needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of s laxative, give them only
the simple, pleasant and gentle -Syrup of Figs.
Is quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative
principles of plants with pleasant arortillc syrups and juices, but also to our
original method oi manufacture tt as you value the health of the little ones, do
not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to
increase their profits. Please to remember, the full name of the Company -CALIFORNIA
