NEW LI Kit All Y BUILDING.
President 1. It. Smith KrralU Some of the
Many Advantage to lie Derived.
Tho following explanatory remarks
by D. U. Smith, president of tho li
brary board, in regard to the now
library building,-are . worthy ' of the
consideration of all readers:
"The new public library building
which is about to be constructed, will
be a substantial one story brick build
in g, 30x52 feet, with furnace room in
basement. The design was planned
and furnished as a donation by Fisher
&, Lawrie, the Omaha architects who
prepared the plans for the new opera
house. To construct the new library
building it requires $1,800 In cash in
addition to the material which has
been donated. This sum must be
raised by voluntary subscriptions.
The people of Plattsmouth can well
afford to be lilieral in thei r donation
for su h a worthy purpose.
What the public library has done for
this city, is well kaown to those who i
havo observed its patronage. What a J
public library does for any community,
needs no argument in its behalf. Tho
hundreds who are afforded an oppor
tunity to become- acquainted w,th the
writings ot the best authors in known
besides tho many young people who by
reason of having free access to a li
brary, obtain an unquenchable thirst
for knowledge which lead them in the
high and responsible walks of life, are
but some of tho many bene fits of a free
library. Every liody should take pride
in encouraging and sustaining such an
institution. The new building, itfelf,
le to bo a perfect beauty in design, and
rrodern in every particular through
out. The members of tho building
committee are F. J. Morgan, J. L.
Root and D. O. Dwyer, each of whom
has subscription lists to bo signed by
all who are in favor of tho new publie
library. Every resident of this city
should make it a point to place his or
her name on one of those lists, even
though tho amount donated be great
or small. The lists of the donors are
to be engrossed and placed in tho new
library and permanently retained.
The credit of building the new library
belongs entirely to those who assist by
coming iortn at once anu place tneir
mimes on one of the lists which are
now being circulated. All contribu
tions, regardless of the amount, will
be cheerfully received." ;
Donation to the Font
The members of the librhry board
are daily receiving additional subscrip
tions, and this is a good indie ition that
the citizens are not only interested in
securing a library building, but also
in the upbuilding of l'lattsmoutb. Fol
lowing is a pai tint list of contributors

of guttering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Colic,
Cho'era and Diarrhoea ll ;medy. We
have Known and used this medicine in

always found it reliable. In manv ca
ses a dose of the remedy would save
hours of suffering while a physician is

for a cure, but we do believe that if a

Ureenwood Love Affair.
Two of our prominent citizens met
each other last Monday morning with
blood in their eye and revolvers in
their hands, determined to put an end
to tho horriblo uncertainty under
which both are laboring as to which i
to bo the successful one in winning
one of Greenwood's fair ladies. A hor
rible catastrophe was just barely
averted by the timely interference of
some of our citizens, and thus for a
time at least peace reigns. 'Tis a sad
sight to see two young men become so
infatuated with the same lady that
they will use firearms, or worse still
go so far as to shave off their luxurient
beard in order to accomplish their
purpose. We sincerely hope that it
may tin ally be settled without blood
shed and satisfactory to all concerned.

From Saturday's daily.
Nelson lien tier, a lad about ten
years of age, who lives several blocks
south of tho shops, met with quite a
bad accident out on Lincoln avenue
shortly before 6 o'clock last evening.
Mrs. Vend ran and Mrs. Campbell were
on their way to the shop gate with
their buggies to meet their husbands.
Mrs. Yondran's buggy was in the lead,
closely followed by tho other vehicle.
Wishing to havo a ride, young lienner
jumped on the rear of the buggy in
lho 1(,a(lj ,,ut in Bomo manner he lost
nU hold, fell to the ground and before
Mr3. Carcpbell could stop her horse
the boy had been run over.
When picked up it was found that
he was unconscious and his face was
badly bruised by coming in contact
witli the wheels and horse's hoofs. He
was quickly taken to the office of Dr.
Cook, but in spito of all that could be
done for him ho remained unconscious
until about 7 o'clock this morning.
Fortunately, however, no bones were
fractured, and the attending physician
has bright hopes that he will get the
boy out of the troublo all right.
It was indeed a narrow escape, and
should bo a warning to other boys who
are in tho habit of jumping onto pass
ing vehicles.

When the three quartets were satis
factorily placed tho sigual to "play
roquet" was given, and tho way the
b-ills and mallets tlcw was a sight to
strke t?rror to tho hearts of all bo-

gamo was the evident reluctance dis
played by tho winning side to quit
their ply for "fie'ds and pastures

ness of the losers to change their luck
by trying new partners. Hut alas!

When the excretory organs fail to carry off the waste material from the system, there is an abnor
mal accumulation of effete matter which poisons and clogs the blood, and it becomes our and acid.
This poison is carried through the general circulation to all parts of the body, and upon reaching,
the skin surface there is a redness and eruption, and by certain peculiarities we recognize Eczema,
Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Psoriasis, Erysipelas and many other skin troubles, more or less severe.
While the skin is the seat of irritation, the real disease is in the blood. Medicated lotions and
powders may allay the itching and burning, but never cure, no matter how long and faithfully
continued, and the condition is often aggravated and skin permanently injured by their use.
The disease Is more man sum ceep; tbe entire clrcoicilcn is poisoned.
The many preparations of arsenic, mercury, potash, etc., not only do not cure skin diseases, but soon ruin the digestion
and break down the constitution. . ... .....
S. S. S., nature's own remedy, made of roots, herbs and barks, of great purifying and tonical properties, quickly and
effectually cures blood and skin troubles, because it goes direct to the root of the disease and stimulates and restores normal,
healthy action to the different organs, cleanses and enriches the blood, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous secretions.
& S. S. cures permanently because it leaves none of the original poison to referment in the blood and cause a fresh attack.

brought here Friday by Sheriff Jack
son of Sioux City. He is wanted there
on a charge of seduction.
"About two months ago a gray
haired mother brought her only
daughter,a beautiful and accomplished
girl, to Omaha to wed Allen, according
to previous arrangement. They were
guests at the Midland hotel, where the
ceremony was to be performed. The
night of the wedding came and the
parlor was beautifully arranged and
decorated. The charming bride was
arrayed, the clergyman was waiting
and all was in readiness. But the
groom came not, for he had broken his
solemn promise and fled from the city.
The heartbroken mother and daughter
returned home to wait. They did not
wait in vain, for soon Allen was heard
of in Cripple Creek, Colo.
"A warrant for his arrest was placed
in the hands of Sheriff Jackson, who
had no trouble in locating the much
wanted young man. He agreed to re
turn to Iowa without requisition pa
pers, but balked when he reached
Omaha, declaring that he would rather
die in his tracks than to cross the river
and face a judge and jury. The sheriff
took his prisoner to the city jail, where
he was informed that he would be con
fined therein until requisition papers
could be secured. Then he weakened
aud changed his mind. Half an hour
later he was locked up in the Council
Bluffs jail, where ha will be formally
arrested by Sheriff Jackson and after
wards taken to Sioux City."

AFTER THE HIGHWAYMEN
Itloodbounds and Detectives Hot Upon
Their Trail In Kansas.
Detective Malone, with the assist
ance of several bloodhounds, is hot on
the trail of the men who were impli
cated in the train robbery near Brad
shaw last week. Speaking of the pro
gress of the chase the Lincoln News
says:
"The man who robbod tha passen
gers in the Burlington sleeper Thurs
day morning and his two accomplices
are making a game fight for escape.
Though they have been tracked per
sistently from the start by the blood
hounds, their pursuers have not yet
come within reach of the fugitives.
"The latest bulletin from Detective
Malone says that he is now south and
west of Hebron with the dogs, and
that the trail is leading towarn Kan
sas. The track continues fresh and
good each day and the chase will be
continued to the finish if the scent
lasts. The posse passed through He
bron at 6 o'clock last night and it was
then said that the robbers were not
more than ten miles away. A capture
was expected but none has yet oc
curred. But with their pursuers so
close upon them and with the author
ities at every station looking for them,
escape for the fleeing men seems im
possible. "More news was received from De
tective Malone this afternoon. The
latest report is from Cuba, Km., where
the posses was at 1 o'cloi k this after
noon. This town is well into Kansas
and southeast of Hebron. The report
did not say whether or not the dr gs
were still on the trail."
