THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Svbup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
11 the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fia SrRtrp Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding- the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FORNIA Fri Sykup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

THE KUY KENDALL SCHOOL LAW
.A Portion of It Condemned by Resolu
tions Presented at the Late
l Meeting of Superintends.
'At the meeting of the county school
euperintendents recently held in Port
land, the following resolutions presented
by Prof. Gavin of this city, were adopted
and will be submitted to the coming
legislature. As every person who has
children to educate is interested in the
matter, and will no doubt coincide with
the spirit of the resolutions we publish
them below :
Be it resolved, By the department of
superintendence of the Oregon State
Teachers' Association, in regular session
assembled :
First That we condemn that portion
of the Kuykendall school law (senate bill
2ko. 68, passed by the special session of
the legislature), which, in the country
districts, - takes from parents having
children to educate tbe right to vote on
the questions of building schoolhouses,
borrowing money, levying school taxes
and petitioning for the division or con
solidation of school districts; that we re
gard such portion of the act as injurious
to the educational interests of the state,
and as not -justified by public needs or
public sentiment: that we request the
regular session of the legislature to re
peal promptly such portion of tbe act,
and to attach the emergency clause to
such repeal.
Second That the qualifications for
voters at all school elections and meet
ings should be uniform in all districts in
the state having less than 4000 popula
tion (those districts bavins three di
rectors), and should include household
ers (fathers and widows) having children
of school age in the district, and tax
payers, male and female.
The Kuvkendall school law referred to
is as follows :
Section l. la all school districts in
this state now created or that shall here
after be created, any citizen of this state,
male or female, married or unmarried,
ehall be entitled to vote at any school
election or school meeting, who is
twenty-one years of age, and has resided
in the. district thirty (30) days immedi
ately preceding the meeting or election,
and who has property in the district of
the value of at least $100, as Bhown by
the last preceding county assessment,
upon which be or she is required to pay
a tax ; provided, that in districts of;' less
than one thousand inhabitants women
who are widows and male citizens over
mm-
twenty-one (.21) years of age who have
children in the district of school age, and
who shall have resided iu the district
tbirity (30) days, as aforesaid, shall be
entitled to vote at any school meeting
for the election " of school directors or
school clerk. ,':
Section 2. All school districts in this
state having a school population of two
thousand or over, as shown by the last
preceding school census, shall be sud-
divided into voting wards by the direc
tors of such district, such wards to con
form as near as possible to the city
wards comprised in its boundaries. The
board of directors - of all such districts
shall establish at least one polling place
in each ward, the judge and clerks of
which shall be qualified electors within
tte provisions of this act, and residents
of such ward; and each elector shall be
required to caBt his or her ballot in that
ward in which he or she resides.
Section 3. - All acts or parts of acts in
conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
Section 4. Inasmuch as uncertainty
now exists as to the qualifications of
voters in such school districts, this act
shall take effect from and after its ap
proval by the governor.
Approved Oct. 15, .1993.
High Jinks Party.7
The residence of Mrs.' h W.' .French
was beautiful Saturday night in its
decoration of evergreen, popcorn, tinsel,
etc., while the many-colored lights made
the scene enchanting, as a party of
young people, who were gathered in
honor of Miss Patterson, flitted two and
fro in High Jinks costumes, many of
them very pretty, while others furnished
much amusement to the remainder of
the party. The young gentlemen were
particularly marked in their gallant de
meanor toward the young ladies, who
never looked sweeter nor more charming.
High Jinks games were indulged, in one
of which Brown Eyed Susan excelled
and Dollie Varden was the least fortu
nate. Music was one of the principal
features of tbe evening, while the cake
walk and inarches were executed ad
mirably. i j
At about 11 o'clock the table, which
had been tastily and prettily spread
with numerous tempting dishes, was
surrounded by the gay party, who en
tered as much into the spirit of this part
of the program, as that of the re
mainder.
As the clock struck 12 and the whistles
around the city told that the new year
had arrived, each eagerly wished the
others a happy new year, and all joined
in singing the old out and the new in.
Mr. French then arriving upon the
scene, begged for admittance, and being
installed, took a flash light picture of the
party, which was composed of the fol
lowing guests, who were received bv
Lord and Lady Keddington: Priscilla
Prim, Dottie Dimple, Annie Laurie,
Dolly Varden, Airy Fairy Lillian, Blue
Belle, Brown Eyed Susan, Fairy Faye,
Lieut. H. Kisser, Checkers, Huckleberry

San Fkancisco, Jan. 1. As a result of
a row in a saloon at 113 O'Farrell street,
today, James Gallagher was fatally shot
by John alias 'Mike" Flynn. Gallagher

and Delia Richardson, a friend of the
murdered man, have been held by the
police until their evidence can be ob

two years in the houee of correction for

MRS. B0TKIN
FOUND GUILTY
Convicted of Murder in the First Degree
A Life Sentence Was Imposed
Upon the Convict.
San Francisco, Dec. 30. Rather to
the general surprise of those who - have
followed the Botkin trial, and to the en
tire dismay of tbe defendant and her
attorneys, Mrs. Cordelia Botkin was to
night found guilty of murder iu the first
degree, for causing the death of Mrs.
John P. Dunning, by sending a box of
poisoned candy to ber in Dover, Del.
The condemned murderess will be
spared an ignominious death on the
gallows, however, the jury that found
her guilty imposing also the penalty of
life imprisonment.
Considering the unexpectedness of the
verdict, Mrs, Botkin kept herself well in
band when ber fate was announced.
Not until the jurymen and most of the
spectators bad left the court room did
she give evidence of a collapse. Then
she sank back, half fainting, but speedi
ly revived when given a glass of water.
