Catarrh Victims Susceptible.
IVoplw who liavo had catarrh of the
he.iil, throat, nose or lung are much
more liable to catch tho t;rip than other
people.
The reason for this 1 that the mucous
membrane of the head, nose, throat or
lungs aro injured ly the catarrh and
the perms whirl) cause tho grip find
easy entrance into the system.
It is a well established fact that per
fectly round mucous membranes consti
tute a barrier to the entrance of disease
Kerms.
The !est precaution any one can have
azainst the rip is to be perfectly free
from catarrh.
Peruna a Preventive.
Asa preventive of grip, Peruna has
don a rrcat deal of good in tho world
by its Iw iifllcial effect upon tho mucous
membranes.
Catarrh has another untoward in
fluence to bo noticed in connection with I
the grip.
Victims of catarrh who have had the
grip find themselves after the acute
M a;res have passed, in very weakened
and deplorable conditions.
After-Effects of Grip.
The whole nervous system is im
paired; the digestive organs deranged;
the circulation of the blood feeble and
irrecrular. All these symptoms are pro
duced, more or less, by the grip, and
especially in feople who have bad ca
tarrh previous to the grip.
TIME TO ACT
Don't Wait far the Fatal Stages of Kidney
illness. Profit by Plattsmcuth
People's Experiences.
Occasional attacks of backache, ir
regular urination, lieadacb.es and diz
zy spells are common early symptoms!
of kidney disorders. Its an error to
neglect these ills. The attacks may
pass o:T for a time, but return with
greater intensity. If there are symp
toms of dropsy puffy swellings below
the eyes, bloating of limbs or ankles,
or any other part of the body, don't
delay a minute. Begin taking Doan's
Kidney Pills, and keep up the treat
ment until the kidneys are well, when
your old-time health and vigor will re
turn. Cures in Plattsmouth prove the
effectiveness of this great kidney rem
edy. Mrs. B. E. Gallagher of Winterstein
mil, Plattsmouth, 2JeK, says: "Kid
ney trouble was all through our fami
ly. My father and an uncle died with
Bright's disease, so in my case there is
no doubt about kidney affection being
hereditary. Ever since I had the
rheumatism thirty years ago, in fact,
all my life, I have been subject to
pain in my back and dropsical tenden
cies. On account of the misery in my
loins. I have at times hardly been able
to get up or down. I could tell In
dressing how badly my body would be
swollen and then my limbs would be
bleated and my bands puffed up. A
friend of mine gave me part of a box
of Doan's Kidney Tills. The strong
praise she gave for the remedy gave
me some hopes that it might dome
some good. I used it and it did prove
true to the claims made for it. Of
course, I could not expect a permanent
cure from taking half a box, but to say
that it brought me much relief from
the pain and dropical symptoms is not j
exaggeration by any means. I procur-
ed Doan's Kidney Pills at Gering v j
Co. 's dru store."

Afflicted With Gallstones.
The Journal regrets to learn that
Mrs. J. D. Ferguson, living near Louis
ville, who has been seriously ill for
some time, will have to undergo an
operation for gallstones. The unfor
tunate lady is quite aged, and her
many Plattsmouth friends join the
Journal in the hope that she will pass
through the trying: ordeal in safety. .
W. II. Parsons is Ex-State Senator
Court of Texas, and was also Hrigadier
letter from 925 H street, N. W., Washington, D. C, this prominent gentle
man says :
"Upon the recommendation of personal friends and many strong testl'
monials as to the efficacy of Peruna In the treatment of the numerous
symptoms of the grip with which I have been afflicted for four months
past, i have been Induced to undergo a treatment with this Justly cele
bra ted formula. J feel a decided change for the better after using it only
one week.
4tltls especially good in toning up the stomach and has a decided effect
upon my appetite. I therefore feel much encouraged that I am on the
road to complete restoration.
'My numerous friends in Texas, where I have had the honor to command
a brigade of her Veteran Cavalry in a four years' war, may accept this vol
untary testimonial to the merits of Peruna as a sense of obligation on my
trt for its wonderful ellicacy." W.
It is no longer merely a theory or an
assertion that Peruna is applicable to
such cases.
Prompt Relief.
In all of tho af ter-efTects of the grip,
Peruna gives prompt relief. This has
lieen the experience of such a great
multitude of people that Peruna has
come to be a standard remedy for these
cases.
If a person lias not used Peruna to
prevent the grip, the next best thing is
to use Peruna to remove the after-ei-fects
cf the grip.

Buggy Smashed to Splinters.
While Hans Rothman was deliver
in: orders for Soennichsen's grocery
store with a horse and spring wagon,
the horse had an inspiration during
the absence of the driver and there
fore started out on a race against the
high wind that was blowing Friday.
Leaving the driver on South Sev
enth street, near F. II. Steimker's
residence, the animal proceeded down
the hill, across Main street, on Sev
enth, and on out Washington avenue
until near McMaken's ice house, the
buggy collided with abridge. The re
sult was a buggy smashed to splinters,
and a badly frightened, but much sub
dued horse.
The buggy was consigned to the
scrap pile, while the horse was taken
to the stable to await another oppor
tunity to cause some excitement. The
animal is gaining quite a reputation
in the runaway line, this being the
fifth experience. The other incidents
resulted more fortunate to the vehicle
and horse.
Will be Strictly Enforced.
Parents are requested to read the
ordinance published in this issue of
the Journal pertaining to boys loafing
in saloons. Mayor Gering and Chief
of Police Fitzgerald requests the Jour
nal to call attention to the fact that
the ordinance will be strictly enforced
and that parents must govern them
selves accordingly.
The bar docket for the spring term
of the district court as prepared by

MARRIED IN METROPOLIS
John L. Mayfield and Miss Sopha Petersen
are the Contracting Parties
Among the passengers to the me
tropolis on the fast mail this after
noon were Miss Sopha Jargian Peter
sen and her sisters, Miss Anna Peter
sen and Mrs. McMacken, and the
latters husband. Guy, and John L.
Mayfield, with whom Miss Sophia was

The news of this marriage is a de
lightful surprise to the many friends
of the contracting partices. The groom
was employed at the Burlington sta

and made many friends who congratu
late him in securing such an estimable
life companion. The bride is the
second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. H.

reared to womanhood in this city, en
joys a wide circle of friends who learn
of the happy event with pleasure.
The Journal joins in wishing Mr.
and Mrs. Mayfield a wedded life of
peace and prosperity.
Former Pioneer Citizen Dead.
The Union Ledger, in speaking of
the death of A. M. Rose, a former pio
neer citizen of Cass county, says:
"Grandpa Rose was an honored resi
dent of this vicinity for a long time
until a few years ago, when he and his
wife moved to Pierce county in order
to be near their sons G. A. and Virgil,
who had located near McLean, making
their home most of the time with them.
Grandma Rose died about three years
ago. Amaziah M. Rose was born in
Trumbull county, O., Jan. 1, 1824, and
came to Cass county in 1S54. In 1S55
he represented this county in the ter
ritorial legislature, always being ac
tive in the public affairs of the state
and county. During the many years
he lived here he was loved and respect
ed by all who knew him, and the
younger people always found in him
a jovial companion whose delight was
to witness their athletic sports and en
courage them in the enjoyment of life,
lie was a kind and sympathetic old
gentleman, and there are many here
who will long remember his generous
actions and words of counsel as a good
citizen."
NEW MUNICIPAL TAX LAW
Nebraska's New Law Relating to Muni
cipal Taxation of Railroad Holdings.
Nebraska's new law for municipal
taxation of railroad holdings, errone
ously called the ' terminal tax" law,
was passed without the emergency
Clause and too late to affect the assess
ment for this year. It is an act to
subject all railroad buildings, main
tracks, side tracks and other property
in cities and towns to local taxation
on the basis of their full value. The
bill embodying it was senate file No.
261, introduced by Senator Thomas of
Douglas county, says the Lincoln
News.
In general the law provides that the
local assessor of each city or town
shall list all tangible railroad prop
erty located within its limits and the
county assessor shall make returns of
the same to the state board of assess
ment and equalization. The board
shall review and pass upon each as
sessment thus made, changing it if
advisable. In addition, the board
shall lump the total value of every
railroad's franchise and its rolling
stock within the state, thereafter di
viding the total by the number of
miles of main track the road owns in
Nebraska to obtain an average mile
age valuation on those items. When
this is found, the board shall allot to
each city and village its mileage pro
portion, and the same shall be added
to the local assessment on tangible
property. The aggregate of all items
thus becomes the basis of taxation for
municipal purposes. The state board
reports back to each county clerk the
several municipal assessments ms.de
for towns and cities under his jurisdic
tion, and he lists the assessment
against the railway company for taxes.
It should be understood that this
process refers only to assessing rail
road property in cities and towns. For
township, school district, county and
state purposes, no change is made in
the old method. All those assess
ments are to be made in the same
manner as heretofore, thus: The state
board first estimates the values of all
mileage, terminals, land, bridges, side
tracks and other local property in
cities and towns, improvements along
the right of way, franchise and rolling
stock. These are lumped into a sin
gle total for each road, which is then
divided by the main line mileage to
ascertain the average value becomes
the unit of assessment, and every mile
of road is taxed at the same rate.
Tho municipal tax law relates largely
to what reports the railroads shall
make to the local assessor and what
he shall not include in his valuation.
Union depot, corporation and private
car lines come within the act.
A fine not exceeding 8500 or jail im
prisonment for not more than thirty
days may be imposed on any assessor
who fails to make a proper return of
the railroad properties, and in cases
where this happens the state board
may proceed on its own judgment to
fix the valuation. Provision is made
that hearings shall be granted the
railroads when they desired to be
beard.

Eyes in Bad Shape.
W. J. O'Brien returned Friday eve
from Omaha where he had been to
consult Dr. Gifford, the specialist, in
regard to his eyes, with which he has
been afflicted for several weeks. It
seems the sight is gradually growing
weaker, and the Journal regrets to
learn that the eminent eye specialist
was unable to give him much encour
agement as to the restoration of the
sight to its former condition. Our old
friend feels greatly discouraged and
while we deeply sympathize with him,
we can only hope for the best, and
trust that time and care will bring
about good results and that his sight
will be fully restored.

Condition ot Mrs. Sheldon.
The Lincoln Journal says: "Gover
nor Sheldon remained all day yester
day at the bedside of his mother at
ber home at Nehawka. His mother,
Mrs. Julia Sheldon, is seriously ill and
he and his wife will remain with her.
His mother is aged seventy-three years
and for several days has been afflicted
with an ailment that is regarded in a
serious light by the physicians. Her
condition was reported somewhat im
proved yesterday, but whether or not
the change is temporary or permanent
cannot be determined. The friends of
the governor m Lincoln communicat
ed with him at intervals during the
day to ascertain the condition of his
mother."

If the president refuses to have any

The Wyoming woman who didn't

Speaker Cannon now qualifies his

"A precious lot of time I have to be

it is easier to have a personal repre

However, we are only in the first

Little progress is being made on the

The President is preparing to "crush
