Roosevelt said in his recent Phila delphia speech: Leg Ulat Ion, ho we ve r w ise, no ad in i n istratlon, however efficient, can secure prosperity to a H?ople or greatness to a nation. This Is one of the most sensible and t ruthful statements the president ever uttered, and knocks out the selr-lauda hie argument of many little dinky re publican sheets who sang the prosper ity song to a nninsti in the recent cam palgn, and "pulled the wool over the eyes" of many credulous voters. Beginning December 1.1th freight rates on grain will advance two cents per hundred on all grain shipped from the west to Mississippi river points and beyond. The excuse for this action is tliat wages have been recently ad vanced bj several of the western roads Tlie fact is, however, that the roads propose to make the public pay for any losses incurred by reason of strikes and wage Increases in order to keep their dividend figures up to a gilt-edged standard, it is the old custom of mak ing the rate as high as the tratic w ill bear.

This Is "What would happen if Missouri would go republican," and too well do the common sense ieople of that state know it. A meetixo or the stock men was held at Alliance a few days since at wnlch It was determined to send a pe tition to congress and the president, protesting against the immediate re moval of fences from government land The petition will also request that a government commission be sent to northwestern Nebraska to inquire into the conditions there, the belief being tltatwitha letter understanding the order to tear down the fences may tie delayed or rescinded.

Mr. Frank MotI, proprietor of large general merchandise store at Scaton. Texas, is one of those business men who built np their business by untiring work. Some time ago he was articted with a very severe back ache caused by overwork, and had to consult two physicians. His condition growing worse he became alarmed and tried all remedies suggested to him. but without avail. He wrote us about it as follows: "Then J started to use Triner's American Elixir of Bitter "Wine which has been highly recommended to me. and from the start felt that it will do me good. After having used six bottles I could again take care of my business and since that time feel perfectly healthy and strong without a trace of a kidney disease." Everybody having used this remedy was convinced that there is no better medicine for purifying the blood and strengthening the nerves. It acts directly on the stomach and the nerves, makes new blood, new muscles and new vigor. It Is made of natural wine . and herbs without chemicals, a pure remedy made by nature.

Twenty yearsago William M. Fisher tnd family, consisting of wife and three children, resided in Illinois, at some point near Lake Michigan. Fisher was a sailor, and his vovaues would keen him away from home for six months, and many times longer. Of course a sailor's work is attended with manv dangerous ami narrow escai-es. One day, when Charles wasabout 11 months old, the wife and mother received word that the ship on w hich her husband had s:iiled was lost at sea. The wire became reconciled to her loss, and tive years later removed with her little farn ily to some point in Iowa, where Charles, the youngest, was adopted by a iamuy, wnne me other two were supported by their mother until her death, which occurred about ten years ago. At the age of 21, Charles enlisted and went to the Philippines, but ere time of Ids enlistment had expired, he was taken in and sent home, and his dis charge secured several months later The young man since has leen making his home in Plattsmouth. A few days ago w hile perusinga Kansas City paper he read a notice signed by illiam M. Fisher, offering a reward of SCoM for information that would assist him to locate his wife and children, who resid ed in Illinois when last seen by him. Last Saturday young Fisher depart ed for Kansas City to see his long lost father, whose whereabouts he knew nothing until a tew days since, where it is hoped that he will be successful, and that father and son in turn will be successful in finding the other child ren and a happy reunion will result. Oh, if the dead mother could only be an eye-witness to the event, their hap piness would be complete. Three splendid bargains in town property. Call for particulars. II. B. Windham.
