Clapp and daughter Blancoe returned Saturday evening Vczcj ts Well ti Qa Are Uziz LUJJr TmmIIq Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition ; beauty. vigor ana cneerlul ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, ana tne nrsi step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are maue miser able with kidney and bladder trouble. and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of SwuflD-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty- cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle bv mail free, also a pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, i : t M.

Dave Cartmeil is a good Mason and secretary of the local lodge, but we never knew the exact origin of so many Masons until he gave us the following explanation: ''King Solomon who lived ever so long ago. and in the country which he governed he was the whole thing. King Solomon built Solomon's temple and was the father of all the Masons. He had 700 wives and 200 lady friends and that is why there are so many Masons in the world." Union Fron the Ietlger. Thomas Walling of Plattsmouth was here on business last Friday, and established temporary headquarters in the Ledger otlice. Mr. and Mrs. Sant M. (I i fiord are justly proud of a fine daughter that arrived at their home on Friday even ing, August 14, making three members of the family, counting the parents. An item weighing 7 pounds was omitted last week simply because we didn't catch it. The "item" is a nice daughter which registered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Dukes on Saturday, August 8. Mrs. W. F. Tracy went on a visit with friends at St. Paul, Minn., two weeks ago, an item that escaped us at the time. Tne forlorn look on the genial banker's face caused us to make inquiry and thereby we learned the cause and saw the effect. George Leach, who was severely injured by being kicked by a horse at Garrens' barn August 8, has been get ting along very well, and Tuesday he was able to be hauled home. He tried to think he could walk, but he found that a stretcher was much more convenient. Dr. Dungan and wife and Mrs. TV. C. Carraher had a narrow escape from serious injury Wednesday evening while out driving. A train near the crossing frightened the horses and caused them to rear and turn suddenly, overturning the buggy and giving the occupants a scare that they will not soon forget.

During the heavy rain last Friday night the large bridge across the Nemaha near Wm. Lee's was washed down the creek about 20 rods and stopped against a tree and now people are crossing it where it is. Several other bridges are reported out. Last Friday night after the rain Grant Standley, wife and baby started to drive over to his brother Hugh's. When within a few rods of Hugh's house they had a low level place of road to cross and as they attempted to drive through, the water came with such force as to take team, buggy and occupants down the creek where they floated against a tree and all took refuge in the tree until Hugh came out and rescued them. It was almost a miracle that all were not drowned as the water was nearly ten feet deep. Greenwood From the Enterprise.
