Mo had at first planned to have one if the senior Clasa raise the money for this statue, but finally decided that the cost was too great for this and that for obvious reasons the people of Omaha, aa represented by some organization like the Woman's club or the high school, should give thla Btatue. The Woman's club having heard ut this r)an offered either to co-operate with the high school In raising money for this statue or to raise all the money alon.v The latter offer was accepted by Mr. waterhnuse. but In soliciting money for this statue mem bers of the Woman's club claim to have met with opposition In several Instances from high school pupils who believed that It was their privilege to raise the money for this statue. Representatives of the Wo man's club then notified Mr. Waterhouse that they were willing either to let the high school pupils raise the money, or to raise It themselves. They expressed ttieir willingness to add any amount necessary to that raised by the pupils, if they should elect Ho raise the necessary funds. Meet ings have been called of the senior, Junior and sophomore classes and Monday the freshmen will have a meeting.

If the freshmen think with the other classes Mr. Waterhouse Intends to appoint a member from each class who, with himself, will constitute a committee which will have almost entire charge of this affair. The plan Is that each pupil shall try to sell at least one certificate of Interest for one dollar.

Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of Known Excellence and Quality and o! Known Component Parts. To gain the full confidence of the Well-informed of the world and the approval of the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof.
