The Commercial club at Ita meeting last night discussed at considerable length the matter of remitting city taxes for five yeara on new Industries locating In Coun cil Bluffs. The club takes tha position that thla remission of taxes Is one of the Inducements which it can offer to out side capital to Invest here, and the dis cussion last night waa prompted by the recent action of the city council repealing the ordinance giving It the right to make such remission. Councilman Younkerman, who was present, explained that tha re pealing of 'the ordinance did not act aa an estoppel to the council granting such re mission of taxes to new enterprises. Protest was made against the city coun cil refusing to remit the taxes for the five-year period on the new Metsger bakery plant, and on motion of H. W. Binder the secretary was Instructed to request the city council to rescind Its former action and grant the remission. Binder's motion was seconded by Mayor Macrae, who at the time tha city council acted Insisted that the Metsger company was as equally entitled to have Its taxes remitted as was C. Gelse on his new cereal plant Mayor Macrae seised the opportunity to call to task the members of the Commer cial club who had signed a petition ask ing the council to take a (800,000 valuation as the basis for a new franchise and rata achedule for the water works company. "If the Commercial club wants to take an active part In city affairs It should have a committee attend the meetings of Ahe city council, ao that it would then know what waa going on. You business men who signed that petition were and are absolutely Ignorant on' the subject You have not given It the study some of the members of tha city council have for three years. If some good fellow comes along, you will sign any. kind of a peti tion. By so doing, however, you Impede the work of the council, and this should not be," he said. Tha mayor's little roaat waa allowed to pasa without response. A communication from A. C.

Judge Wheeler, In the district court yes terday, handed down his decision In tha ult brought by the New Nonpareil com pany to restrain the Board of Supervisors of Pottawattamie oounty from entering Into the contract with Morehouse & Co. for furnishing the county- offices with printed supplies, blank books, etc, sus taining the Nonpareil contract. The suit arose from the fact that the supervisors t tha January session awarded tha con tract to the New Nonpareil company at tha same prices which had prevailed for several years previous, without Inviting bids from other firms, and then, when this action led to criticism and protests from taxpayers and others, a few days later rescinded Ita action, advertised for bids and awarded the contract to Morehouse Co. at prices ranging from 80 to 80 per cent lower than tha oounty had for several yeara bean paying the New Nonpareil com pany. In his decision Judge Wheeler held that tha contract awarded tha New Nonpareil company was binding and In the event of the Board of Supervisors failed to fulfill It the New Nonpareil company had a "plain, speedy and adequate remedy at law." At the same time the court held that tha plaintiff company had no atandlng In a court of equity and accordingly dis solved the temporary Injunction secured by the New Nonpareil company, leaving the latter Its remedy by a law action for damagea. Members of tha Board of Supervisors, when asked yesterday afternoon It they Intended standing by the contract with Morehouse ' at Co.. declined to make any statement beyond that they had not given the matter any consideration, aa they had not been notified of the court's decision. County Attorney Hess said that according to Judge Wheeler's ruling tha board could go ahead with the contract with Morehouse tt Co., the Injunction having been dissolved, and the New Nonpareil company. If It saw fit could bring suit for damages against Pottawattamie oounty for failure of the board to fulfill the contract awarded It In which event it would ba for a Jury to de termine how much the company would be entitled to recover. Simon MoUrew, Jr., who was Indicted on a oharge of forging tha name of Paul GUbo to a check for $13.20 on a Neola bank, which Dick Winchester la alleged to have passed upon William Kermeally, a aaloon keeper ot that town, was put on trial In tha dis trict court yesterday. McGrew denied hav ing written the check or received any of tha money and the state being unable to how that he had fonged GUbo's name to the paper, the court directed a verdict for the . defendant The second Indictment against McGrew, arising out of the aame transaction, waa dlamleaed by the county attorney.

Both nounes toaay recommeniei by resolution to the governor the pardoning of Jasper Mason, convicted In Dallas county of murder. Pardons for Betsy Smith of Polk county and Orman McPherson of Loaisa county, recommended by the pardons com mittee, were defeated. Governor Cummins sent to the house to day a veto of H. R. 8H, a bill for the pro tection of fish, because It protected fish In the border streams of tha atate up to eleven Inches long and those In the atate streams of only six Inches, there being a further question of whether the state could legislate to protect fish In the border streama. Board of Regrenta BUI Killed. The house listened to a two hours' speech In favor of the bill to consolidate tha state educational Institutions under one board of regents, and then calmly killed tha bill by a vote of 46 to 54. No one talked for or against the bill except Teter of Marlon, who waa a member of the legislative com mission that made the Investigation of the question, and he talked for It. It was claimed for the last several days that there were sixty-six votes pledged against the measure. The bill was pusscd by the senate last session and killed In the house, and met the aame fate in the same way this session. Early In the session It might have been possible to have gotten, the bill through the house, but the tide has been steadily turning for some weeks. No AdJonrnment Yet. President Garst, In tha senate, and Speaker Kendall, In the house, today In formed the two bodies that there could be no adjournment this week, and that tha earliest that they could think of adjourn ing would be Wednesday of next week. There has been passed by the senate a resolution fixing Friday as the day of final adjournment This will be v recalled. A resolution will be Introduced to fix next Wednesday the date. Many measures are yet on the calendars and In the handa of committees and the big appropriation bills have none of them been considered yet by either house. A few minor bills only among the appropriations bills have been disposed of. Concur I'n willingly. t The house today unwillingly concurred in the amendments by the senate to the antl- paaa bill. The senate amendments to the bill provide that each railroad can have two doctors and lawyers In each county. Moore of Linn claimed on the floor that taking all the railroads together this would allow thirty or more political agents to be riding on passea . Jones of Montgomery, Sullivan of Polk and several others ex plained that they would vote to concurr only because they feared non-concurrence would defeat the bill and It was better than none. New Interarbaas. An Interurban line la being proposed from Webster City to Dee Moines. The propo sition Is to build from Webster City to Boone and from there south to connect with the Interurban from Woodward to Des Moines. The new line will not be built by tha Polks, who have an agreement with the Fort Dodge, Dea Moines & South ern Interurban not to parallel that Una. The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent or Secret Medicines of an Injurious character, which Indulge in extravagant and unfounded pretensions to cure all manner of ills, and the National Legislation Enacted to Restrict Their Sale have established more clearly than could hare been accomplished In any other wa? The Value and Importance o! Ethical Remedies. Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prrm.pt 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. The per fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture, known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get Its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one the only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. ' Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D.
