The Grip.
"Before we can sympatize with oth

No one can realize the suffering at

defies medical aid. All danger from
the grip, however, may be avoided by
the prompt use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Among the tens of
thousands who have used this remedy,
not one case has ever been reported
that has resulted in pneumonia or that
has not recovered. For sale by F. G.

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No
Plattsmouth Citizen Can Af
ford to Ignore.
Danger Signal No. 1 comes from the
kidney secretions. They will warn you
when the kidneys are sick. Well kid
neys excrete a clear, amber lluid. Sick
kidneys send out a thin, pale and
foamy, or a thick, red, ill-smelling
urine, full of sediment and irregular
of passage.
Danger Signal No. 2 comes from the
back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or
sharp and acute, tell jouofsick kid
neys and warn you of the coming of
dropsy, diabetes and Bright's disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys
and cure them permanently. Here's
Plattsmouth proof.
W. T. Cole, of fi08 Locust street,
Plattsmouth, Neb., says: "I con
tracted kidney complaint in the army
and have felt the effect of the trouble
off and on ever since. My back never
caused me any acute suffering but
there was at times a dull heavy aching
and lameness across the loins that an
noyed me considerably. Retention
and scantiness were evident with the
kidney secretions and they were occa
sionally accompanied with pain. An
advertisement about Doan's Kidney
Pills came to my notice and being fa
vorably impressed with the claims
made for the medicine, I procureda
box at Gerlng & Co's drug store. I did
not take them regularly and used only
about one-half of a box, but I can say
they made a marked improvement in
my condition, every difficulty being
relieved. I can vouch for Doan's Kid
ney Pills being a valuable remedy."

1. The statute which requires an
estimate of the cost of a public im
provement to be made and submitted
to the city council by tbe city engineer
before a contract for such improve
ment is let, is mandatory, and a con
tract made without complying with
such requirements is void.
2. Where such statute further pro
vides that such estimate shall be pub
lished with the advertisement for bids
for making such improvement and
that no contract shall be let for a
price exceeding such estimate, the in
hibition against letting a contract at
a price in excess of the estimate can
not be evaded by raising the estimate
after the bids have been made and
opened.
3. Any material departure in a con
tract of that contractor, from the
terms and conditions upon which the
bidding was had, is an evasion of a
statute repuiring a contract to be let
to the lowest responsible bidder.
4. Where a contract with a city for

ROCK ISLAND SECURES MAIL
Gets Service Away From the Burlington
From Chicago to Omaha.
From and after January 24, the Cni-
cago Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company will carry the fast mail be
tween Cnicago and Omaha, which for
twenty years has been the exclusive
prerogative of tbe Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy, says the Bee.
This announcement came to the
Omaha postoffice department Monday
morning and indicates the transfer of
Clerks Stribling and Hurst, now ap

This is the first break the Chicago,
Rnrlinirton & Quincy has had in its
exclusive fast mail service between
Chicago and Omaha for twenty years.
The result will be that the Chicago
mail will now reach Omaha at 7:20 a.
m. over the Rock Island instead of at
8:10 over the Burlington, and will be
in Omaha in time for tbe second morn
ing delivery by carriers.
To which tbe Lincoln Journal adds
tbe following: "No word of change of
routing has reached Lincoln, and it is
assumed here that this may relate
only to Omaha mail, and may not af
fect trans-continental mails."

wTites :
"I have been annoyed with a cough
for years.
"Often It was bo bad that I could not
Bleep half the

ple thought I had
consumption.
CONSUMPTION
WAS FEARED.
"A woman recommended
Peruna to
me two years ago. I
began to take
Peruna and now 1
am perfectly free
from a cough.
"I am glad to say that Peruna cured
me entirely. I take Peruna occasion
ally when 1 do not feel well and I also
give it to my children.
"Peruna is the best medicine for
coughs and colds. I have told many
people how much Peruna has helped
me."
Peruna tends to lessen the cough, de
creases the expectoration, strengthens
the patient, increases the appetite and
in many cases procures sound, refresh
ing sleep.
But the value of Peruna in the treat
ment of a case of consumption is not ho
great as it is in the prevention of con
sumption. Since it is well known that consump
tion begins with a common cold or ca
tarrh, any medicine that can be relied
upon to relieve these must be regarded
as a preventive of consumption.
Thousands of caeea of incipient con
sumption, or chronic coughs, or settled
colds, have reported Perun as being a
safe and reliable remedy for these ail
ments. Supply Yourselves With Stamps.
Patrons of the rural mail delivery
route seldom buy postage stamps. In
stead they include two coppers with
each letter they put in the mail box.
A country paper publishes this ad
monition: "Before you put your let
ter with two pennies into the box just
think what it means to a man whose
fingers are already chilled by several
hours' exposure to pull off his gloves
and fish out those pennies, repeating
this process perhaps forty or fifty
times in one day's delivery. It is ap
parently a small matter, yet it means
a great deal to the carrier. Keep a
supply of stamps on hand and thus
save the already overworked and un
derpaid carrier much additional hard
ship." The Right Name.
Mr. August Sherpe, the popularover
seer of the poor, at Ft. Madison, la.,
says: "Dr. King's New Life Pills are
rightly named; they act more agree
ably, do more good and make one feel
better than any other laxative. Guar
