TIIE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY. APRIL 22. 1000. Nebraska Nebraska Nebraska SO SECRETARY TET NAMED Governor Said to Be Making Deal on Banking Officer. ASK rOINT 05 PRINTING BOARD Wittl im Rayse ioeretarr If Ho Is Allowed 71 am Prlatln Clerk Mar ! o, .Any-ktw, from a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. April ti. RpeclaD Governor Shallenberger ha not yet named hie secre tary of the State Banking board, nor named hla numerous examiners. because Govrrnor Ehallenbrrger la doing; some thinking;. The governor la now building;, up lila political machine for future ue In hla race for the senate and there la every reason to believe ha Vlll be a candidate for the democratic nomination unless he discovers he hag ome chance of being renominated for governor. The governor has proposed that If he be permitted to name the secretary of the Mate Printing board he will reappoint Ed R'oyse secretary of the Banking board. Auditor Barton and Secretary of State Junkln, the other members of the Printing board, hays an Idea the governor will re appoint Royse anyhow, so the trade has not yet been consummated. In the meantime the talk of the temper ance democrats to name Victor Wilson of Tolk county for governor has reached the cars of the executive office and friends of the governor believe It would be a wtso move for the governor to appoint Wilson secretsry of the Banking board, and thus keep him out of the race for the demo cratic nomination for governor. Thla Job paya 13.000 a year, $600 more than doss tha governor himself receive. The govcrnor'a friends believe It would be a mighty nice place for Mr. WHson. Of course, to get rid of Wilson in this way would necessitate another violation of the constitution of the state, but a tittle thing like that would not affect tha leaders -of the drniocratlo party. Metcalfe Talk Like Bona. .The mention of Richard L. Metcalfe as a aenatorlal possibility has put the leaders of the party up in the air and ha carried consternation to some of the democratlo strongholds. For Instance, In the World- Herald office the editor of the paper is said to be very much worried and he is quoted ss having' made this remark when his attention was called to the Metcalfe story: ( "That Is liable to be serious before the campaign Is over." V Overlord Mullen is said to be equally disturbed, while W. H. Thompson, and the other democratic, "leaders" have net yet re ported, but as they all threw fits when It was suggested that Metcalfe was entitled to a seat In the national democratic con vention and several more on top of these when he wss mentioned for governor, the editor of the. Commoner Is expected to have the hearty opposition of these persons. The mention of Metcalfe as a aenatorlal possibility will have some effect no doubt upon the appointments Governor "Mullen berger" makes snd it is vary probable the applicant will have to make known hla ideas about senatorial candidates as one of the qualifications for the Job. And so while he figures out where he Is. the governor Is delaying the naming? of hla machine cpgs and the "b'ys" are atlll off the pay roll. Kaalaeer May Be Delegates. F.nglneers- who have an Intereat In Ir ritation are requested to notify Governor Rliallenberger. In return the governor will appoint fifteen of the number as delegates to represent the great state of Nebraska at the Irrigation congress to be held In Snonkane from August i to 14.

TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well -Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the 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 time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply -the one 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. rvy Every bottle is sold under the genera guarantee of the Company, filed with the Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D.
