The wires evidenty got crossed in
the editor's cranium last week. We
called the primaries for last Saturday,
one week tooaoou. We said Mrs A.
R. McCandless gave a reception to tho
graduating class, wben it was Mrs.
Earlo Gilbert. We said Will Boub
field and wife of Auburn were visiting
friends in Nemaba last Thursday.
Will says he will make affidavit that
he is not married, and Intimates that
we were trying to spoil his chance of
ever becoming a benediot. He says he
was not in Nemaba that day, but his
brother Warren and wife were here.,
We plead guilty to all indictments, and
ask for mercy.
J. E. Rentfrow got a bad fall last
Saturday forenoon. He was working
on a scaffold about five feet from the
ground on Ed Knapp's house wben he
stepped on the end of a board that
gave way, letting him fall to tho
ground. He got a nasty cut and
bruise on the left side of the head, but
his worst Injury was to the left arm
and aide. The wrist was dislocated
and probably a bone fractured, and the
side bruised . He has suffered severely
since the accident occurred, and te
make matters worse, he is now suffers
ing with the rheumatism. He gets
little rest except when under the in
iluence of mnrphine. .
Last Saturday Roy McCully, who is
working far Eugene Kersc, lost a
pocketbook as he was going to Auburn.
The pocketbook contained a 85 bill and
an indelible pencil. The next day the
pocketbook was found about a half
mile north of tbo Champion school
house, but the contents were gone
As the rubber was yet around the
pocketbook it does not seem possible
that the money could get out, yet it
may have done so. If anyone finds a
$5 bill in that section or between the
schoolhouse and the court house they
should return it to Mr. McCully, who
is a poor young man and cannot afford
to lose even that amount

COMMENCEMENT EXEBOISEB
The commencement exercises of the
Nemaba high school were held in the
Methodist church last Friday night.
On aocountof the crowded condition of
the building the people were not as
comfortable ae usual, but there was
almost perfect order and all what was
said oould be heard plainly in any part
of the room. Every one had a seat,
even if it was a little close quarters in
some instances.
The printed program was carried out
in full. The instrumental muslo and
singing was all good. Tbo instrumen
tal diet by Misses Grace Peabody and
Avis Carse was especially fine. Tho
graduating themes were all on the
history of Nemaha and the Nemaba
schools. Miss Ethel Sherwood took as
her subject the alumni of Nemaba.
Her article was published ia last week's
Advertiser. Instead of it she reoited
"The Roman Sentinel." Albert Claud
Maxwell spoke on "Straightening Na
ture's Crooks," and advocated the
straightening of the crooks of the No
maba river, and giving his ideas of
why it would be a profitable under
taking. Lulu Cooper in "Looking
Backward" gavo a brief history of the
town that was of interost to all. Theo
dore Hill apoko on "Nature's Gifts,"
telling how Nemaha bad been favored
by nature, and causing his hearers to
have a deeper love and greater pride
for our beautiful little village and sur
roundings than ever before. Miss
Bessie Washburn's themo was "A
Foundation for a Future," and Miss
Maudo Burns spoke on "Schools of
Yesterday," giving a history of the
schools in the past years in Nemaba.
Both wore good. Daisy Clark gave a
recitation that was fine. The cIbsb
address by Prof. Herbert Brownell of
the Peru Normal school was on the
subject of the Professor of Housewif
ery, and advocated giving girls lessons
in practical horaemaklng arjsT house
keeping is connection with Stair other
education. J. M. Clark in behalf of
the school board then presented the
graduates with the diplomas they had
earned by their faithful work in the
eohool room in the past years. The
graduates were remembered by their
friends with flowers, books and other
suitable presents.
The church was nicely decorated,
good taste being used in all the decora
tion's. The motte, "Originality in all
Things," covered an arch across the
front of the church.
The class of '05 have the best wishes
of the Advertiser for success in all
fature undertakings. May their lives
be long and useful ones.
Mr. West of Rookpdrt, Mo., has de
cided to put in a brick manufacturing
plant in Nemaha. He is said to be an
expert in this line, and says he will
guarantee his brick to be first olass.
There will probably be a good demand
for brick in Nemaha this summer, and
we believe In patronizing tho homo
manufacturer, other things being
equal.
Dying of Famine
is, in its torments, like dying of con
sumption. The progress of censump
tion, from tho beginning to the very
end, is a long torture, both to victim
and friends. "When I had consump-
tion in its first stage," writes Wm.
Myers, of Cearfoas, Md., "after trying
different medicines and a good doctor,
in vain, I at last took Dr. King's New
Discovery, which quickly and perfectly
cured roe." Prompt "relief and sure
oure for conghs, colds, sore throat,
bronchitis, etc. Positively prevents
pneumonia. Guaranteed at Reeling's
drug store, price GOo and $1.00 a bottle.
Trial bottle free.

Remember that W.W.Sanders writes
insurance. He is agent for several
first class companies, both mutual and
old line. His rates are as low as any.
Give him a call.
We had tho pleasure last Friday of
attending a dinner at the Champion
sohoolhouse. It waa the last day of
school and tho patrons got np tho dinner
as a pleasant surprise on the teacher,
0. E. Sanders. A large number of the
patrons were present. Mr. Sanders has
taught a school that has given the very
best of satisfaction, and the patrons
are all anxious te have him take the
school another year at an advance in
salary. The members of the school
board, all of whom were present,
assured us that they bad not heard a
single complaint this year, but that
every patron was anxious to have Mr.
Sanders another year. The dinner was
just suoh as is always gotten up by the
good cooks of the Champion neigbber
hood, as they cannot be excelled anys
where.
Hugo Task
It was a huge task to undertake the
cure of suoh a bad case of kidnev di
sease, as that of C, F. Collier, of Chero
kee, la., but Electrlo Bitters did it. He
writee: "My kidneys were so far gone
I could not sit on a chair without a
cushion; and suffered from dreadful
backache, headache, and debresslon.
In Electrlo Bitter, however, I found a
cure, and by them was restored to per
