ful of nails in his mouth, as is the cus
tom of the hammer artists, when one
ef them made a sudden deeension

SUFFERERS FROM ASTHMA.
Juit m Likely to Die of Old Ago aa
From the Diseaia.
Among all physical ills asthma is
perhaps the most irritating. It is
hard to endure and terrible to ob
serve. Its victims die a thousand
deaths, as far as suffering is con
cerned, and yet arc denied the dig
nity of having a fatal disease, for it
is one of the heartless axioms of ex
perience that the asthmatic sufferer
is quite as likely to die of old age as
of his disease. It has been said
that asthma is not a disease, but a
6tate of body, and if its victims arc
able to extract any comfort from
the knowledge that it is nervous
in its origin they are entitled to
that alleviation.
Any one looking on for the first
time at a well pronounced asthmat
ic seizure is convinced that ho is
watching a death scene, and no
wonder, so terrifying are tho symp
toms. The patient fights piteously
for breath, sometimes crouching for
hours in one position, pallid, bath
ed in perspiration and apparently
in the final stages of sulTocation;
but, curiously enough, with all tho
distress, the patient does not 6eem
to feel any real alarm as to tho out
come. The attack may pass off cither
rapidly or gradually, in many cases
leaving no apparent after effect ex
cept a sense of great fatigue.
Asthma being a disease with a
nervous origin, it follows that there
are as many theories about it and
remedies for it as there are suffer
ers from it. With some persons tho
attacks are apparently a certain
outcome of eating a certain kind of
food or breathing a certain kind of
air or reaching a certain day and
month of the year. Many asth
matics claim tho power of cheating
their enemy up to a certain point
by moving to some other locality
when the tragic elate draws near.
The asthmatics living in the valleys
may pass in transit their fellow suf
ferers who habitually live on tho
hills.
Those who trace their attacks to
digestive disturbances learn to
avoid the starchy foods or the fat
foods or whatever food it is that
upsets them. Some cannot live near
a stable; others cannot bo near a
certain shrub or flower. Indeed,
tho specialties of these unfortuno
people are without number.
Tho asthmatic, however, has two
great sources of comfort. One is
the reasonable hope of reaching a
good old age. The other is the fact
that great help is to bo found for
him in a strictly hygienic mode of
living. The better air he breathes
both day and night, the simpler bis
diet and the more wisely ordered
his exercise the fewer will be tho
number of his attacks. Youth's
Companion.
Shortened Her Stay.
The wife of the clergyman of a
certain suburban parish, says the
Boston Traveler, was mending
clothes the other day when a visitor
was announced. The hostess went
on with her sewing, for the caller
was a well known parishioner. Aft
er awhile the visitor glanced to
ward the sewing table and exclaim
ed: "Why, there are some buttons ex
actly like some my husband had on
his last winter suit. They are an
odd kind of button too. Where did
you get them?"
The clergyman's wife smiled
roguishly. "In the collection bas
ket," she answered quietly. "1
found a good many of tho same
kind. I am saving them up for pos
sible use."
The caller changed the subject as
hastily as she could, and somehow
or other she did not stay very long.
In County Court.

E. Tefft appearing as attorney for the

Final hearing was heldTuesday in

Flansburg of Lincoln. William Alton

Clapp, appointed some tome ago,
was installed in his stead. The es
tate has been carried through the
courts for some time having made
rounds from County cemrt to supreme

isfactory settlement of the estate
seems to be still in the dim future.

mittee and a trio ef efficient and com

The principal discussions eif impor
tance at Tuesday's meeting, were
those on the location of the pugilistic
content and slide for life. Arrangcmnet
incuts have been made with the county
oflicials, and a low- stand will be set
up at the rear of the court house build
ing for the boxing nnd wrestlings
This sseccms to be an ideal place for
the sports as the high ground to the
north eif the stand's location may be
filled with spectators, w ho will be able
to see the contestants to fine advantage
from their clcvalcel positions. IYr
niission has also been secured for the
fastening eif a slack wire to the court
house tower. This will be lashed to a
pole on Main Street, and the peri
lous slide made by the performer.
Extra cars will be attached to the
regular trains running into the city
Monday morning, but no special
trains have been scheduled. Big
Injun Craves of Union is planning on
bringing up a big elelcgation eif people
from his home town and Nchawka
as enthusiasm for the celebration has
been weirked up to a high extent by
the visits of the Red Men advertising1
delegation. Costume'el as the Red
Men of Old a committee has been
trailing through the country, plaster
ing sign boards and show windows
ef the neighbeiring towns with glaring
posters of the big Fourth eif July cele
bration and festival we-ek. Memday
and Tuesejay the boys were out at the
work, the committee consisting of
Messrs. Deeker.Tinis, Egenberger
Truman and Bert Thomas.
The locomotive power eif the trip
was furnishe'd by I. .J. De-cker's
team of trusty mauds.
Janie'S Ault, the Missouri river
ferryman, is prepared to handle a
recor elhrcaking crowd on that elay
lie has improved the landing on both
sides of the river so they are. now ve ry
linn and solid and no trouble will be
found in loading and unloading the
rigi and automobiles. As before nn-nounce-d,
the order has lciiscel the boat
for the elay and no charges whatever
will be attached to the Iowa residents
for the use eif it. On the advertising
trip of the committee, they found the
peeiple in the neighboring Iowa towns
looking forward to the elay wiih great
expectations.
Several peeiple of the city, who have
taken the trouble to investigate into
the merits eif the coining carnival ceim-
pany, have found that they bear the
best eif a reputation. Their shows all
seem to be high class ones, clean and
moral in every respect. If the company
is ii(t the best that has ever been in
this city, ihe Rednien will bury the ir
teiniahawks in jjihe sands eif the Big
Muddy and formally withdraw from
the limelight. The Brown company
has been leaving behind it a trail of
well satisfied towns and all the engage
ments have been money makers for the
promeitcrs. Re-ports from Beatrice
and Wyniore say that eyerything went
fine during their enagagemcnta and
everyone seemed satisfied. At Wy
niore, where the shows filled a three
days engagement, they were under the
auspices of the city fire department.
The company arrived in their cars yes
terday, but little was done towar 1 the
setting up of their tents as they do not
have their grand opening till Saturday
night. It is hoped the peeiple will
not be under the impression that the
carnival is here but for a day or two
for they are to remain iu the city dur
ing the entire week of the Fourth of
July, making a total of seven playing
days. Eight big free events will take
place during that time, four slides for
life and the same number eif bulleion
ascerflions.
Perfect order will be preserved dur
ing the we'ek anel ein the Fourth a force
of nine or ten police will be main
tained. No gambling will be permitted
anel the festivities will not be such as
to cast a reflection on the city or the
Retlme n. Rtst rooms w ill be supplied
for the visiting women and children,
where the callers may cool off during
the heat of the day by the use of fans
and ice water. No flood has swept
the city and cast the merchants into
gloom as was the rase eluring the early
pin t of July a few years ago. The city
is prosperous and evcryledy's happy
which ought to make the day one grand
celebration, without a single blemish
to spoil the good time which is in store
for everyone.

Kobcrt Smith, brother of Sydney
Smith and an ex-advocate general,
on one .occasion was engaged in un
argument with a physician over the
merits of their respective profes
sions. "I don't say that all lawyers are
crooks," said tho doctor in his final
summing up, "but my opponent will
have to admit that his profession
doesn't make angels of men."
"No," quietly retorted Smith;
"you doctors certainly have tho beat
of us there."
