I" THE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. JANUARY 14, 1909. 3 TELEPHONE CONTRACT VOID r hi One of, the Important Duties of Physicians and uiu vvcu-imormcQ 01 me worm is to learn as to the relative standing1 and reliability of the leading manufactur ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are- the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-informed generally that the California Fig Syrup Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which js accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc cess and creditable standing, therefor we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to tba fact that It involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper me, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that It ia alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the ona perfect laxative remedy which has won the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. 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 doubtless 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 Co. 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 size 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. C, that the remedy is not adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. Louisville, Ky. San Francisco, Cat. ' U S. A.

The senate. took the action on the understanding among themselves that their presence in the house was simply as witnessing the canvassing of the returns Jnd was not a Joint session, which could proceed with ' a recount. In accordance j with the published official returns the ) J-epubllcan candidates were declared the atate officers-elect, as follows: Governor "Charles 8.- Deneen. lieutenant Governor John C Oglesby. Secretary of State James A. Rose. The breaking of the deadlock on the can ' vass of the vote does . not entirely clear the situation, as there remain many points of difference between the contending forces which have caused turmoil In the legisla ture since the sessions opened last week Tuesday. VGettlna; Together Only Temporary. The lines of cleavage between the Bhurt leff republicans and the administration republicans who attended the republican caucus are as sharply drawn as ever. The "getting together" on the canvass, how ever, will permit the completion of the organisation of the house and the com mencement of the actual work of the leg islature. Following the announcement of the can vass of the returns declaring Governor Deneen and the other state officers elected, Representative Lee O'Nell Browne, democratic leader, was given recognition by the speaker for the purpose of serving notice of contest for -the office of governor, against Governor Deneen on behalf of Adlal E. Stevenson. CHICAGO,' Jan. M. Paul Zaabel, a mem ber of the legislature, died at his home here today.

Among other names mentioned are those of W. M. Giller and K. C. Page, both mom' hers of the Omaha Board of Fire and Po lice Commissioners. Should ono of these be appointed1 there would be. a vacancy on the board which would mako a, berth for another democrat. Frnnk . .aver and Will Herdman are others mentioned as possible future supreme Judges. The theory that Governor Shallenberger will appoint Lieutenant Governor Hopewell as one of the judges seems to be well grounded. The democrats say It Is barely possible that the governor might dlo before the end of hlB term and in that event It would be "simply awful" to have a repub lican lieutenant governor to become chief executive. For this reason the governor Intends to perpetuate his dynasty if pos Court Refnsei Injunction Asked for by Independent Companies. KEARNEY TO CONNECT WITH BELL Agreement to tie Coatrary Hel4 to Be Void, Against Pahlle Poller trart to CoBBeet wlflk Roth Systems Kaforeeable, HASTINGS, Tfeb.. Jan. 13. -(Special Tel egram.) In a decision of widespread Im portance to telephone Interests throughout Nebraska, District Judge Corcoran of York today nem invalid mat section of a con tract entered Into by vsrlous Independent companies by which they agreed not to exchange toll business with the Nebraska Telephone company. The ruling was made In the suit Instituted by the Independent companies of Grand Island, Hasting, Shol- ton, Kene.aw, York and other cities, all constituting an associated system of Inde pendent lines over a large area of central Nebraska and an injunction was asked to prohibit the Kearney Telephone company from breaking its contract wtth other in dependents and connecting with the Bell system. All parties in the sgreement bound themselves to exchange business with each other for a period ten years. Judge Cor coran upholds this section of the contract and allows the Injunction as to that fea ture alone. The clause prohibiting connec tion with the Bell system Is held contrary to public policy. "The Invalidity of suoh a provision," said Judge Corcoran, "Is so patent and obvious it does not admit of a moment's serious consideration." The Independents must exchange with each other according to the terms of their contract, bot under Judge Corooran's ruling they cannot be enjoined from connecting also with the Bell. The purpose of the Independent association as set forth in their agreement, was to "build up and ex lend their toll business in central Nebraska with a view to destroying the monopoly now held by the Nebraska Telephone company."

There Is little chance, however, of de claring the railway board amendment not adopted, because of the fact It was actually carried by the voters, and the courts have ruled evidence of this may not be olonded with legal technicalities. Hose to Cload Issae. It Is declared here in high authority, however, that the projectors plan by rais ing doubt as to the passage of the amend ment thus to befog the issues on new rail road or common carrier legislation with a view of finally preventing It. Such tactics might easily be used against stock yards bills . or bills affecting corporations that may yet be put under regulation. County option senators held a secret meeting last night and It is claimed a ma jority of the members of the upper house was In attendance. - Rumors are afloat In Uncoln today that members of the legislature will try to im peach Secretary of ' State Junkln for his refusal to comply with the demands of the joint session to certify to It the vote on constitutional amendments Several mem bers of the house have been sounded on the proposal, but It may never come to a head. Senator Ransom today dented that he knew of any such move, but he criticised Mr. Junkin for his course. New Object of Raasoat Deal. "If Governor Sliallenberger Is given the power to appoint the supreme court Judges he will name Ueutenant Governor Hope well as one of them, though he Is a repub lican, in order to make George Tibbets of Adams county, president of the senate, the lieutenant governor. This Is straight goods, and is the key to Senator Frank Ransom's determination to overthrow the existing order of things and secure a can vass of the votes and thereby give Gov ernor Shallenberger the appointing power." This Is the Information given out at local democratic headquarters, and with the seeming assurance that the governor has Imparted the facts direct to the leaders of the Omaha democracy. These leaders say the governor, If given the power to appoint supreme court Judges, will name two republicans and two demo crats. They also say that if Lieutenant Governor Hopewell will accept the appoint ment the new governor will name him to that position, thus fulfilling the reported ambition of the lieutenant governor and at the same time 'making a vacancy for a democrat. I.oeal Hit la Llae. ' Should Governor Sliallenberger appoint the additional supreme court judges It is said to be probable by local democrats that at least one of the appointees will come frcm Omaha, but who this would be Is largely problematical so eany la the day. One of the names mentioned Is that of I.ysle I. Abbott, candidate of bis party two years ago for attorney general. Mr. Ab bott, however, saya he never dreamed that the legislature would take the action It has until he reed the papers Wednesday morn ing. But when asked If he wnukr be a randldate Mr. Abbott said he was not a candidate, but 'that "any sane man would Uke the supreme court Jutighlp if U were Wife Hears of Case After Decree Was Granted and Objects. NEBRASKA CITY. Neb., Jan. 13. (Spe cial.) At the last term of the district court there was a divorce suit trlod In which Willis G. Clark was plaintiff and Mrs. E Clark defendant. It was one of those cases in which the defendant made no answer and the plaintiff secured a divorce by default. But little evidence was Introduced. Now comes the wife, through her at torneys, and states she had no notice of the divorce proceedings and that for years she had resided at Alexandra, H. D., and it was only on January 6, 1909, she learned of the divorce. She denies each of the charges of her husband and charges that, he knew where she and her four children were and calls attention to the fact the husband never mentioned anything about having four children In his petition. Mrs. Clark charges that her husband has been living with a woman in Omaha for the last two years and Is worth $7,000 and geta a salary, of J 100 pur month. She asks for a divorce, the custody of the children, a Judgment for 5,000 and S50 per month for the support of the children. The case promises to be a very interesting one, and several of the witnesses will be recalled by Judge Travis to explain their testimony. Jt Is more than likely that a criminal prosecution will grow out of the suit. COVE.'T10N OF TELEPHONE ME Three Handred Delegates Expected at Lincoln. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 13.

"I would frequently wake at night with these attacks and the doctor said there was somo constant Irritation of the nerves, and he began to think some organic dis ease was at work.
