Nebraska Advertiser W. W. 8ANDER8, Prop. NEMAHA, NEDRA8KA At tho ago of 104 a Kontucky man took purls grccnt not that tho local paper called It a rash act. But If wo should Htop eating moat what would wo do for leather and tho other by-productH of the bovine? Tho shah of Perala Ih maHtor of tho situation In Teheran, but doesn't know Just how long ho'll hold tho Job. Englishwomen aro getting splendid practice Thoy will know how to run an election If they over get tho ballot. This year's crops will bo worth 18,000,000,000, exclusive of tho ama teur lottuco and radlsh-growcra harvest. Minister Wu says that ho Is going to Hvo 200 years, In which tlmo ho probably hopes to And out all ho wantB to know. In tho case of tho Cossacks there Is no evldonco that tho free and untram moled life of tho stoppes Inculcates an appreciation of othor pcoplo's liberty. A Chicago woman Is charged with stealing a set of teeth. This Is ono of thoso raro morsels for tho mom bers of tho paragraphors' union to chow on. Sovornl Columbus men aro anxious to sell tholr fingers at $300 each. A atory onco caio out of tho Klondlko that a thirsty, but HubIi, prospector paid $4,000 for three fingers. How some of tho small boys who live along tho wharves In seaport townB will envy tho accomplished gen tleman who as an expert Is testing tho tobneco to bo purchased for tho navy! If IlotBy Ross didn't make tho first flag tho story 1b about as harmless a ploco of Action as over crept Into his tory and wo boo no reason for taking up nny valuablo tlmo proving that it isn't so. A Virginia lady has just obtalnod a dlvorco from a bogus "lord" who has Bovcral other wives Bcattorcd through out tho country. In our opinion ho has reason to Biispoct that sho did not marry him for lovo alono. Ono of tho Indy locturors declares that men who wear Bturched collars aro fools. IJut would tho lady loctur er approve If tho men woro to go around with tholr shirts cut low or tholr arms Bhowlng through open-work elooves? A Now York landlord has reduced his rent bocauso of hard times. Tho men think him n good landlord, but tho women aro withholding judgment until thoy And out whnt ho Intends to do about papering tho front parlor and tho back bedroom next fall. Tho Master Car Builders' nssocla tion which has just closed a session at Atlantic City, adopted a report made by a committeo after careful In vestlgatlon and urging numerous Im provements designed to socuro better ventilation of passenger cars. Tho de mnnd for fresh air and moro of it is becomlft: Insistent. A young man In Kentucky com plained that a girl had Imprisoned him against his will in her parents' homo for four days and forced a ring on his finger in attempts! to got him to marry her. Apparently, thore are gotting to be strenuous times this particular leap year, but masculine gallantry Bhould not forco lono femininity to such ex ti ernes. Tho discontinuance of tho old Ful ton streot lino of horse-cars in Now York city was chronicled , by a news paper correspondent with an amusing comment. "In some ways," ho said "this lino was tho best In tho city, For ono thing, it was entirely dostltuto of tho strnphnnglng evil. In tho Arst place, nobody would trust tho strnps and In tho second plnco, most of tho patrons walked." PROMINENT PEOPLE PROHIBITION CANDIDATE Engeno W. ChaAn, who has Just been nom inated by tho Prohibitionists for president of tho United States, Is an attorney of Chicago. He was not a cundldato for the nomination at the Columbus convention, for he had already been named by the Prohibitionists of Illinois ns their candidate for governor. Under tho clr cuniHtances, ho will havo to resign the latter nomination and let another be named In his place. Before going to Chlcngo seven yenrs ago ho was a resident of Wisconsin, and was counted ono of tho lenders of tho "dry" party In that state. In two different campaigns he was the candidate for attorney general In tho Beaver state, and In 181)8 ho headed tho state ticket there. Tho candidate Is not tied to the Prohibition party in his zeal for the elim ination of the liquor evil. He has been aligned with practically every move ment that has for Its object the wiping out of tho saloon. He was tlie state president of tho Wisconsin Epworth league for two yenrs, and for four terms was grand chief templar of the Order of Good Templars, an organization which was quite strong throughout the country a score of years ago and still wields considerable Jnlluenco In some quarters. He Is ftfl years old and worked on a farm to pay his way through college while studying law. For 2C years ho practiced IiIb profession, when he was not working for temperance, In Waukesha, Wis. He Is a ready speaker, and an orator of some ability. In fact, it was a speech that he made in the Colum bus convention which carried that Impressionable body off Its feet and re sulted In his nomination over men who had been avowed candidates for mouths and who had made a campaign to land the place. Mnmhnrit of a Chlcnco ministers meeting woro solomnly warned by ono of their numoer against mo demoral izing Influences of summor hotols and thn dancers incident to vncations gen erally. Then tho meeting adjourned until September with tins program "Vacation Experiences and Fish Stories." scheduled. When tho3o Ash ntnrloK Imvn hcen told thnt sermon on tho bad effect of vacations may need to be repeated. Tho new Cunard lino steamships, Lulsltanin and Mauritania, built under an arrangement with tho British gov ernment by which tho company is to receive an annual subsidy of $750,000 if tho ships maintain an averago speed of 24 knots an hour In fair weather, havo proved tholr ability to keep up tho required speed. Tho Brit ish government pays tho subsidy to en courage the building of fast ships, which may be used by the navy in case of need. WILL GATHER THE COIN George R. Sheldon, newly nnmed treasurer of the Republican national committee, Is very little known to the public generally, al though In New York his Is a name to con jure with, particularly in business and flnnnclal affairs. There was a tlmo when he was a can didate for tho Republican nomination for lieutenant-governor of tho Empire state, on the ticket with former Governor and former Boss B. B. Odell. When It came time for tho con vention nt Saratoga, however, and It looked as though Sheldon had delegates enough on his list to make him a factor In tho convention, Odell bnlkcd. "Not with his trust connections," declared the bosB. "He'll swamp tho ticket." So the nomination went elsewhere. Sheldon never kicked, but went back to his world of business. What Sheldon does not know about trusts and great corporations it would bo llttlo use for a tyio to study. He Is actively connected with 22 different Important corporations, locnted In nine states, with large interests In another score of states. Sheldon was born In Brooklyn Dl years ago and was educated at Har vard. SAVED AT THE CRISIS. GOVERNOR OF HAWAII Gov. Walter F. Frear of Hawaii stepped Into tho limelight In connection with tho visit to Honolulu by tho battleship fleet. Tho peoplo of Honolulu and other cities of the Islands broko all records In tho welcome extended to the fleet, and no money nor time was spared to mako the occasion a notable as well as a pleasant one. As the governor of tho territory and chief rep resentative of Uncle Sam In his jurisdiction, Gov. Frear was naturally put in charge of all arrangements for the event. If it wore not for such llttlo things as this, tho average newspaper reader would be likely to forget that there was such a place as Hawaii on earth, or that it Is a regular territory of the United States ' with Its own territorial govern ment and organization. Tho Hawaiian Islands aro so far away from homeland, and tho revolution which carried the govern ment nil tho way from monarchy to republic and then to annexation aro of such comparatively recent dnto that only In tho year of presidential conven tions do wo recollect more than tho namo of tho Islands. Gov. Frear, although of American birth, hns spent nearly his entire life In Hnwnll. Born In California 45 years ago, ho graduated from Oahu college, Honolulu, nnd Yalo. After graduating In law, ho was made a circuit judge for Hawaii in 1893, nnd a few months later ho wns advanced to tho supremo court of tho Islands, then under tho provisional government. Ho was made a supromo court Justice of tho republic when It waB organized under President Snnford B. Dole, and was offered tho position of minister of foreign affnlrs and public Instruction In 1899, but declined tho change to tho cabinet, prefer ring to retain his place upon tho supromo bench. Ho was made chief justice, and hold that place until tho annexation of Hawaii was carried out. Sincr 1907 ho has been territorial governor. A FIGHTING ENGLISHMAN It Is no secret that Reginald McKenna, who was president of tho English board of education in tho Campboll-Bannerman ministry, has been promoted to tho post of Arst lord of tho ad miralty to get him out of tho way. Not that this strenuous son of an Irish father is an un deslrablo colleague In the eyes of tho new prime minister; on the contrary, he Is looked upon, and with good reason, as one of tho conspicu ous successes of tho lato government. But ho is a born Aghtcr. Ho does not know what tho word compromise menus, and these aro days when tho spirit of compromise Is very much needed In tho department which Mr. McKenna has just vacated. Tho now education bill, which ho brought into parliament, has aroused no end of antngonlsm in many quarters and it has been evident for some tlmo that It woro best for tho government to meet tho objectors? nt least hnlf way. Mr. McKenna obviously was not tho man to hold out the ollvo branch; ho was for Aghtlng it out to tho last ditch. So ho was conveniently Bhifted. incidentally hia wages wero raised from $10,000 to $22,750 a year, and ho has just been married on tho strength of his advance. in hlu new poBltlon Mr. McKenna will havo plenty of opportunities for putting his Aghtlng qualities of mind Into play. For some time past a largo element In England hu3 bemoaned tho weakness of character of the retiring Lord Tweedmouth and havo sighed for a successor strong enough to give battle to tho very active oppoueuts of tho governments naval policy. Delay Meant Death from Kidney Troubtee. Mrs. Herman Smith, 901 Broad Street, Athens, Ga., says: "Kidney disease started with slight irregularity and weakness nnd developed into dan gerous dropsy. I Lc came weak and lan guid, and could do no housework. My back ached terribly. I had bearing down pains and my limbs bloated to twice their normal size. Doctors did not help, and I was fast drifting Into the hopeless stages. I used Doan's Kidney Pills at the criti cal moment and they really saved my life." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box, Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. WHY HE WA8 WORRIED. Fly In the Ointment That Was Handei to Good Man. "Why," asked tho good man's wife, are you so thoughtful? You look as II something disagrecablo had happened. "Perhaps," ho replied, "I am fool ish to feel as I do about It. My con gregation has raised a purse for the purpose of sending me to Europe." "And are you sorry It isn't large enough to enale you to take me with you? Don't let that cause you to feel depressed. It will be very lonely here without you, but I know you need the rest, and I shall be very sensible. I can spend the summer at some quiet, inexpensive place, cheered by the thought that you will return refreshed in mind and body." "It Is very good of you to look at it In that way, my dear. I appreciate your feeling. But the gentleman who made the presentation speech said he was sorry the amount that had been raised was not larger so that I might be able to remain away longer, and somehow It seemed to me that ap plause was more hearty at that point thnn anywhere else In the course of his remarks."

Many pale, sickly persons wonder for years why thoy have to suffer so, nnd eventually discover that tho drug caffeine in coffee Is the main cause of the trouble. "I was always very fond of coffeo nnd drank It every day. I never had much flesh and often wondered why I was always so palo, thin nnd weak. "About five years ago my health completely broko down and I was con fined to my bed. My stomach was In such condition that I could hardly take sufficient nourishment to sustain life. "During this tlmo I wns drinking coffee, didn't think I could do with out It. "After awhile I came to tho con elusion that coffeo was hurting me, nd decided to give it up and try Postum. I didn't llko tho taste of it at Arst, but when It was made right boiled until dark nnd rich I soon became very fond of It. "In one week I began to feel better, I could ent moro nnd sleep bettor. My sick headaches woro less frequent, and tvithln Ave months I looked and felt like n new being, hendacho spells on. tirely gono. "My health continued to lmprovo and today I am well nnd strong, weigh 148 lbs. I nttrlbuto my present health to tho life-giving qualities of Postum." "There's a Reason."

Count Goldo: "Madame, zo beggar cannot be ze chooser." Something Stronger. Pat: "Sir? Yo nlvver heard o' th' big wind In Ireland? Begobbs, mon, y'r wan In tin thousand! Thot wind blew ivveryting lengthways, sideways hlc Idgeways, shortways; sure hie It was th strongest thing as ivver blew against a mon!" The Listener: "There Is something stronger, Pat!" Pat: "Tell mo what, now! Phnt is stronger?" The Listener: "Your- breath" Making It Pleasant for Him. Mabel Papa, what did you say to Harold that upset him so? He was' absent-minded and nervous all the evening after he had been in to ask your consent. Mabel's Papa On, nothing much.1 After giving my consent, I merely ad-, ded that I hoped ho wouldn t back out,; Bame ns all tho other fellows had done, when ho found out what a temper you had. Real Base Ball. (W. J. Lanipton in New York World.)! Oh, take mo away from tho base ball game Where science is at tho bat And the players play In a technical way . Till a rubo can't tell where they're at. Where scores aro highest when nothJ Ing at all And nobody takes a base; Where nobody makes Any sort of mistakes And everything's just in place. Where spectators keep on the watch for plays So close that it gives them a pain; And whatever's done In hit, catch or run They scream at to take off tho strain. Oh, carry mo back to tho old-fashioned game That doesn't know science at all, Where the sides go in With a whoop to win, And they don't do a thing but play ball. Where twenty or thirty or forty runs Are likely as not to be made; And tho bags aro hot From many a swat In games that are played as is played. Where the catcher don't look like an armored knight And the pitcher is not so intense, The batter can't hit 'Em a little bit, But bangs 'em clean over the fence. Where something is doing that sure stirs up the soul About every minute or so, With the home runs made And doublo plays played And the whole darn thing on tho go. Where grandstand and bleachers aro all of a kind, And are there because they aro thero To see a good game That's good just the same Though science be up in the air. Oh, take mo away from tho base bali gamo Where scientists havo the call, And give mo tho play Thai lasts half a day Hurrah! That is ball; that is ball.
