It is well known to be a simple com- bination of the laxative and carminative prineiples of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the tasteand acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of & transient nature and do not come from any organie trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it i8 best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos- trums of the present day.

To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some LITTLE GIRL IS TO VISIT HER FATNEI} the stipulation that the child be kept In ' o 'y orior _— wother's death, but visit the father Both Sides to Controversy Announce that Decfalon of the Court is Sat- isfactory, but Attorney Suggests Appeal. ‘The conclusion of the habeas corpus pro- ceédings for the possession of Ruth Ewart, aged 5, came yesterday afternoon when Judge Baxter gave her into the custody of the grandmother, Mrs. Ruth Dodder of 2420 Franklin street, with the stipulation that she be sent at the expense of her father, J. 8. Ewart of Kearney, to visit Bim there two months of each summer va- eatlon, two weeks of the Christmas holl- days, and at such other times as the con- tending parties may be able to agree upon The father 1 also to be given leave to visit the child at her grandmother's. whenever convenient, and she Is not to be taken out of the state. Both sides express them- selves as quite well satisfied with the ar- rangement. The costs were taxed to the tather, who s the respondent in the suit. efore giving his ruling Judge Baxter re- ed the case briefly from the time Mrs. rt went to Californla for her health to that church hour, three weeks ago Sun- day morning, when Ewart seized the child from her grandmother's care as they were returning from Sunday school, apd drove to Council Bluffs with her. The court touched upon the strained rclations of the father and the mother of the girl and of thy of each as to the wirl’ caHed attention ‘to the fact the child been In the grand- mother’s care since 2 years old. ! Remarks of the-Judge. “The court coneludes from the evidence,” continued Judge Baxter, “that the father s a reputable, honorable znd high-minded gentlcman, perfectly capable of educating the little one, sincere in his affection for and In eyery sense a proper person to bave her care and' custcdy. But the court s constrained also to comsider what will be best and most pleasing to the child her- solf, and it is forced to take cognizance of the facts that the father is obliged, by his interests in the elevator business, to be much away from his home in Kearney; that during his absence the child would e In the care of the paternal grandmother, who 15 conceded to bo a comparative strenger to ber, and who has admitted on the witness stand that she probably could Bever have any very great affection for the ehild; that the maternal grandmotber al- ready hes such affection, has mo one else to look after and would her every future thought and care to the little one, and, foally, that the child has her play- mates here, has started to school here and feels most at home here. The father wishes her in Kearney, but her presence in Omaha Tepresents the wish of the mother, who has equal right. These circumstances, then, induce the court to decide the matter in a way that gives the mother the custody of the ohild, but must not be coustrued as in any way intimating doubt of the father's fitness, both as man and parent.” Eftect of the Ruling. The rulivg Jds In effect that the child shall be with her grandmother until four- teen years of age, or ualll her grand- g ¥ one- ! tend the state, but they would not agree to that. Now that the court has included such stipu- lation in its rullng I am content. This will bring about a settlement of the whole metter.” In strange contradiction of this state- ment, however, is that of W. L. Hand, one of Mr. Ewart's attorneys, who dictated a motion for & mew trial on the ground that the finding of the court was not borne out by the facts, and remarked as he did so that the case was “‘almost certaln to be carried to the supreme court.”” At the conclusion of the proceedings that bave kept the parties in court most of three days there were no dramatics and no sobs. Mr. Ewart crossed the room and kissed his child, but the grandmother d's- couraged any prolonged comversation. Mr. Ewart called his brother, Louis Ewart, and attempted to present him to Mrs. Dodder, who extended her hand, but he drew back quickly and thrust his hand into his pocket. The elder brother spoke reprovingly and pulled at his coat to persuade him to turn about, but he would not do so, and Mrs. Dodder exclaimed: “See there. That shows the malice that is felt.” Testimony of Yesterday. The morning had been given over to two witnesses, whose testimony was In rebuttal of that given by Mr. Ewart at Salurday hearl; These two were the and her daughter, ‘andmother herself Mollie Smith. Mri Nelther made any statement of particular interest except, perhaps, that of Mrs. Dodder to the effect that Mr. Ewart hal sent to his valld wife in California & draft for l’ioo, with the explanation that $140 of the amount was for the expected operation and the rest for subsequent ho pital expenses if she lived, or for the pur- chase of 4 casket and the transportation of her body to Kearney if she did not sur vive. Attorney John Dryden of Kearney, argu- ing for the father, conceded the tender in. stincts of the grandmother, Mrs. Dodder, and her interest in the child, but called attention to her age, 69, as Impairing her capacity as a caretaker. He sald, too, that any partiality the child might seem to show for the grandmother was easily accounted for by the Intimacy that could not but exist , when they had been so much together, and the father kept so long away. He sald he could not belleve M:s. Dodder's statement that she bad sald nothing to prejudice the little girl against her father, when it was 80 apparent that the aged woman cherished only the most unkind feelings toward him. He described the provisions for taking care of the child {n the home of her father at Kearney and pleaded that the father fection s even deepor than the gran mother's could be and clted precedents in. to show that to rob the sire of his own offspring would be unjustified. IMPLEMENT DEALERS MEET 1 with New Rule of West. ern Rallro as to Car L The lmplement dealers of Omaha and Counell Bluffs held their regular meeting and banquet at the Iler Grand hotel last ing. At the conclusion of the banqust matters of interest to the wholesale trade were discussed. The dealers are vory much dissatisfied with the new rule of the western classifica- tion bureau as to the cars and the premium and discount allowed on the dif- ferent sites. A simllar rule made in the central classification bureau territory has been suspended temporarily and an attempt will be made to have the rule suspended in the western. terfitory pending further dis- cussion -of the case between the shippers and the interested roads. But with Innes it is different. He has chestra. The orchestral resources of the Innes band are developing every season. He has this season arranged his band on the sym- phony orchestra idea and the results justify his idea. Innes is a broad musician. He is im- bued with the highest possible artistic mo- tives and he never caters to or compro- mises with the inferior element in his art. When he gave up playing trombone #o0los he aid a good thing for himself and his art, but his friends said that he made a mistake. Time has proved that he was right and his friends were wrong. Then he declded to cut out all cheap or popular “trashy” music hall productions, and his friends sald again that he would suffer for it. Finally, he determined that In big cll- maxes he would not bring his brasses out in front, on such things, for instance, as the “Sextette,” from ‘Lucia,” and the march “Love Is King." Then his friends said: “Surely, this is the climax; he never can do this” But he did, and the au- dlences still were satisfied, and today Innes {18 In the enviable position of a man who can dictate to the people what they should have, and they seem willing to accept his Judgment. Innes uses no music score when he con- duets. He conducts everything from mem- ory, even the accompaniments to the solos. He knows his solos, his.soloists, and his men. Therefore he gets resuls. There s no doubt but that Inmes and his-organizas tion stand absolutely alone as a mediator between the ordinary good concert band and the symphony orchestra. Innes is an edu- cator, because he never bends to the vul- gar, s leads to what Is best in musical literature. The band is better than it ever was and the new arrangement of having the wood- wind on each side of the conductor's stand, round, brasses being raised on a dals at the extremo rear, is a most excellent idea. The band is approaching nearer to the or- chestral idea every year. The accompaniments (particularly that to the ““Toreador” song from *Carmen”) were played with the precision, the repression and the sympathy which might be expected from an excellent planist or a musicianly orchestra, but mot to be looked for from a band. The delicate lace-like work of the wood noticeable all through the con- their planissimo tones were cer- tainly beautiful. Of the assisting artists, Signor Achille Albert! was easily the star. Maturity sig- nalizes all of his work. His “Pagliaccl” prologue and “Toreador” song were splen- aid. Mme. Borgh! made a good Impression. Her idea of tone production s somewhat startling, but she procures results that are satisfactory. Miss Boyden emphasized her previously made reputation, especially in the evening and sang magnificently. The season closed with great enthusiasm.

In the crowd that fills every seat in court room No. 2, are delegations representing the Figg sect and the opposition, made up largely of the husbands and relatives of Mrs. Donahoo, Mre. Wpod, Mrs. Browning and other women who are sald to have been estranged from their families by thelr alleglance to thelr few faith. In addi- tion there are still to come, for the other hearings, twenty or more Sarpy county wit- nesses and others, among whom is to be Rev. Charles W. Savidge of Omaha, who is expected to describe a religious demon- stration of the Figgite¥ that he once wit- nessed, and also the members of the board of ineanity that recommended Mrs. Figgs' detention in an asylum. On the stand in the morning Mrs. Figg charged that practically all the witnesses who had appeared agaifist her at the hear- ing by the Insanity”¥éard’ had perfured themselves. She dedfed *too, the confes- sions she Is allégéd {d haye made before the board that sKe had danced about all who came to the Figgile meetings and would not enthuse, and had denounced them as devils. She still repeats her assertions concerning spiritual visitations, however, stating that at such tlmes the Lord puts | words Into her mouth that she has to utter | 8B with emphasis; that she remembers theso words alw: “s because they are from the Lord, and that He healed her deformed body. TWO T0 GO T0 STATE'S PRISON Sentenced for Al Zola Coumlth: George Lu and Willam Hathaway, in- dicted for statutory assault upon Zola Coulthard, withdrew their plea of not guilty and entered one of gullty yesterday after- noon after Judge Baxter had ordered a Jury drawn to try them. The court promptly sentenced Lucas to three years at hard fa- bor in the state penitentlary, his term to date from January 11,1802, which was the day of his and inedrceralion in Doug- las county jail. Hathaway was given four years at hard Jabar, on ane charge and the other one, identigal ip. Rature, was nolled by the county attorney. The court took cognizance of the culprits’ confideration in saving the county the éxpeénse of & trial and of the alleged faet that the girl pretended to be older than she s, ‘but held that the latter fact is mo defensé in law.

A request came from the educational com- mittee that it be given additioral assi: nd after some discussion, granted and the original motion carried. It was decided that the club anmounce as under its auspices the lecture on “Na- than Hale" 1o be given at Boyd's theater on Tuesday afternoon, February 25, by Mr. Howard Kyle.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Osuneil Hositates to Tackle Preblem of | Library Site. IT UP TODAY CAUCUS IS TO FIX Be Tonight and City Fathers May Then Take Definite Action—Magic While all the members of the city council { were present when the roll was called last night, and Mayor Kelly was hovering abouc on the outskirts, the meeting adjourned until tonight. 1t was reported that the rea son for thedelay of pube bilsiness, last night being ome . of sthe regular’ meeting nights, was that no agreement had beea reached in regard to the library board and | the purchase of a site. After a conference with the mayor the members of the coun- cil agreed to put the matter off until to- when It is expected that appoint- | ments satisfactory to the mayor and coun- | ell will be made. At the close of the short | sesslon one of the councilmen said that the whole trouble now was about the purchase of & site. The power of the library board to buy the site had been conceded by the city attorney and now the councll wants to have a hand in the naming of the board. As the mayor has it mow, seven members of the board reside north of N street and ! the fight is between the morth and south sides. What the council scems to want I8 an equal division of the membership among the wards in order that the best practical site may be selected. At the meeting tonight it s presumed that the mayor will make appointments in accordance with the caucus to be held this afternoon. If the caucus selections are agreesble to all of the members the ap- polntments will go through. Mayer Kelly is extremely deairous of having the library bullding commenced, It such & thing Is possible, during bis term of office. Governor Decides Quention. Governor Savage was in Omaha yester- day and he stated that as far as the pro- tests mentioned against the organization of the cavalry troop in South Omaba were concerned he would mot at this time pay any attention to them. The governor further eald that the state was entitled to one troop and that South Omaba was par: ticularly fitted for a troop to perform escort duty by Peason of so many of the members being , almost constantly in the saddle and owning horses of their own. No date has been set for the muster of the troop, but it is understood that it will be sometime within the next few days. No Board Meet For reasons best known te the members there was no quorum of the Board of Edu- catlon last night. It was expected that the {ndictments against some of the members rendered by the grand jury recently in ses- slon would be brought up in the courts yes- terday. As the cases were postponed until Friday of this week, the members most deeply firiterested broke a quorum by thelr absence, Aside from & report from Su. perintendent McLean no business of im- portance was to come before the board at the meeting. City Must Pay. As already mentioned in The Bee, the su- preme court of Nebraska recently banded down a decision in the now famous Dris- coll personal injury ca In speaking of the matter yesterday, City Attorney Lam- bert sald that as the city nad made no re- monstrance when the case w.ut to the su- preme court it would “.e necensary to pro- vide for the payment of U7 claim. He thinks, however, that there will be no need of making a speclal levy for the purpose, as it is understood that the council will make the proper provielon for the payment of the claim as eoon as the 1902 levy Is aval able. By deferring the matter, the claim- ants will not only confer a favor upon the city, but will recelve accumulated interest which amounts to considerable. This claim has been given more publicity in the last four years than any other claim ever filed against the city and it appears now that It has not ended. Democra Change PI The democratic city central committee issued a call for primaries, which changes the arrangements first made. 1t was first decided that the primaries should be held March 10, but at the suggestion of several of the candidates, the commiftee congented to ¢ change in dates. By chaog- Ipg the date af the primaries to March 14 It.will leave the democrats in the clear, ay the party will then know what the other politicians contemplate. The republican pri- maries are to bs held on March 7, with the convention on ‘the day following. On Maren 12 the labor party will caucus and nomi: nate a ticket. It is stated that this action of the democrats will, in a measure, assisc those in control in the making up of the ticket, as the other nominees will then be known. Recelpts Imcreasing. Official figures glven out by the Union Stock Yards company yesterday show that there is constant increase in the receipts of live stock at this point. As compared with last year the receipts of cattle sbow an increase of over 25,000 head, of hogs over 64,000 head and of sheep nearly 5,000 head.
