THE SOUTH BEND NEWS-TIMES.

TO COMPLETE TASK

Reported That Chief Cassidy Will Leave Department and Kuespert May Get JobBunker Well Thought Of.

"Wish everybody a Happy and Prosperous New Year." was Mayorelect Fred W. Keller's greeting on the morning of the closing day of 1913. "and at least four of them." he added. Then the mayor-elect assumed an attitude of business, begged for quiet and seclusion, that he might settle down again to evolving a complete organization for the carrying out of those multitudinous responsibilities handed him in November. The new administration assumes the reins Monday noon, and the mayorelect is trying hard to have his private as well as public business all attended to by that time, and be ready for the grand start. He intends being ready for the "hour of twelve transition" from mayor-elect to mayor in fact, - or bust a suspender". Lang to Head Council. Monday night the new council will hold its first meeting and organize, electing a president and vice president for a year. Herman F. Lang. according to rumor, will be elected president, and Michael Ruechner. vice president. Both are citizen councilmen, but with previous experience. The new council will probably hold its first executive session Tuesday night, and elect a chairman of the committee of the whole, likely to be awarded to a democrat, probably Councilman Jere T. Hagerty. Bunker Will Stay. Chief of Police Guy L, Bunker, despite a successor having been named by Mayor - Elect Keller and his board of public safety, is to remain in the South Bend police department, not so very far below his present position. according to assurance vouchsafed by a member of the board Wednesday. In fact, the indications are that it was a close draw whether Chief Bunker would remain at the head of the department, or ex-Sheriff Millard F. Kerr, who finally won the appointment, be placed over him. It also appears that Chief of Detectives Cassidy may remain with the department somewhere if he wants to, but rumor about the city hall has it that he means to retire and become private detective for th Oliver Chilled Plow works. John Kuespert, former patrolman, may succeed to Cassidy's present position, though the board of safety will not go so far as to change the "may" to "will" just yet. The evolution of the Keller working force promises to come thick and fastt the remainder of the week, it being probable that all appointments of any importance will be made by Saturday, and most certainly by Monday noon. Board of Works Puzzled. The board of public works has been by far the slowest in reaching final decisions, the naming of a city engineer, street commissioner and a street foreman, announced when the new board came into being, being as far as they have actually gotten. Harry E. Josephson had once been virtually decided upon for clerk, and then the board of safety slipped in and took him away. Next they had all but announced Walter Erler as clerk of the board, when Erler backed away and said he could not afford it. Not even the appointment of a clerk has accordingly been made, say nothing of the organization of the water works department, which comes under that board's jurisdiction.

tendent is only $1,600, and the board is finding it dilficult to get the kind of man they think the city should have for that amount of money, it is virtually settled, however, that the pres

ent incumbent, Thomas H. Ayres. will

have to retire, or accept a subordinate position. while it is said that some of the clerkships, assistancies, etc., will be disposed of entirely.

DID CHILD WAKE UP

CROSS OR FEVERISH?

Look, Mother! If tongue is coated give "California Syrup of Figs."

Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomache- ache. diarrhoea, remember a gentle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment given. Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give a teaspoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermenting food which is clogged in the bowels

passes out of the system, and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, delicious "fruit laxative." and it never fails to

effect a good "inside" cleansing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the bottle. Keep it handy in your home. A little given today saves a sick child tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," then look and see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company." Counterfeits are being soid here. Don't be fooled!
