Walt Vallery has gone into the
lightning rod business, apparently, as
a wholesaler, from the amount of
business he has done in the past week.
He is working for the Cole Brothers
Cable Lightning company with their
western distributing quarters at Coun
cil Bluffs. This cable is made up of
strands of copper wire and laid Mat
upon the roof with both ends buried
deep in the ground. The lightning
rod in former days received a black
eye at the hands of unscrupulous men,
the same kind of a blow the old line
insurance companies are getting now,
and it took them about thirty years to
recover and till a useful place. Walt
says he has sold 3,000 feet in three days.
The Journal man made his usual
visit to Murray yesterday, and when
the hour for the noonday meal ap
proached Dr. Brendel came to us and
said, 'If you do not possess a quarter
come over to the house and dine with
me." We did not need the second in
vitation, as we have been there before,
but we were certainly surprised when
we entered the house to find B. F.
with a longgingham apron tied around
his neck and standing near the stove
preparing dinner, Mrs. Brendel not
having returned from her visit in the
east. In the oven we saw a large pan
of steaming hot cornbread, on the
stove a quantity of juicy beefsteak, a
large pan of fresh eg&sand various
other good things the doctor had in
store for us, and when the spread was
made it was certainly up to the stand
ard of most any good housewife. The
doctor is "on to his job," and says he
and the boys will not miss a meal if
Mrs. Brendel stays a month; but he
would much prefer to see her return
home tomorrow.
ThinKs Well of Furnas.

reports crops of various kinds in
abundance, the farmers now prepar

of the coming sections, of the state,

that county. He has another large
ranch in view that he expects to pur
chase in the near future.

If you want to increase your strength
you must add to and not take from the
physical. Jn other words, the food
that you eat must be digested, assim
ilated and appropriated by the nerves,
blood and tissues before being expelled
from the intestines. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure adds to the physical. It gives
strength to and builds up strength in
the human system. It is pleasant to
the taste and palatable, and the only
combination of digestants that will
digest the food and enable the system
to appropriate all of its health and
strength-giving qualities. Sold by F.
