There is usually great uncertainty as to the operation of the average spring tonic. Peruna, on the other hand, has been in use lor so many years and in such a variety of climates and by such a multitude of people that its beneficial operation for spring ailments has become a practical certainty. Peruna can be relied upon as a spring tonic. It cleanses the blcod by correcting the diges tion, which is the source of good blood. ffflfi'mmtymmmti jw.'-V.W Y-s Aids Digestion, Promotes Sleep.

'd HE HAS HAD MUCH GRIEF Wife Runs Away With Another Man Dur ing His Absence From Home. TAKES $300 OF HUSBAND'S MONEY The Second Flight Occurred, and a Clew to the Culprits May Locate Them. J. M. Da!ley, once a citizen of Platts mouth but recently living about six miles south and a little west of Cedar Creek was in town a while Friday, tak ing the fast mail for Omaha. Mr. Dal ley told the reporter that he was hav ing more than his share of grief. Early last fall while living near e hawka, he went to husk corn and In doing so was compelled to leave his wife and daughter, Mable, a little girl of eight years, at home alone. He was kept away from home some time and upon his return found his home broken up and family gone. A foul dispoiler bad in his absence, gained the ear and affection, it seems, of his wife, and they had fled togeth er, taking with them the child and some $300 which Mr. Dalley had in trusted to his wife's keeping. By dint hard work he finally succeeded in tracing the truants to from Nehawka to Union, where the goods had been shipped In the name of Mrs. J. M. Dalley and at Union they were ship ped to Red Oak in the name of the man in the case, W. F. Welsher. Mr. Dalley traced the fugitives and found them located very cozlly about three miles south of Red Oak, Iowa. Securing the services of an attorney his object being to secure possession of the little girl. "When Mrs. Dalley found that he was going to take the daughter, she agreed to come along. The reunited family came to Platts mouth where they set up housekeep ing and Mr. Dalley secured employ ment in the railroad shops here. Mr. Dalley continued to work here until about March 1st, when he rented a farm south of Cedar Creek and lived there until about thirty days ago when during the absence of Mr. Dalley, who had been working for Vilas Shel don near Nehawka, Welsher returned and Mrs. Dalley tied with him, again taking Mable with them. Until just now. Dalley had no clew as to their whereabouts. He thinks he has them located, and assures us that if he should find the culprits something will happen, intimating that it would be something like what Harry Thaw administered to Stanford White. The case seeme to require some severe remedy. Failed to Connect. Ham Searle, accompanied by Joe Chapman and Billy Fox, started out with all the paraphernalia necessary eo catch a car load of fish, bound for Cedar Creek, and while buying a tick et their train, No. 29, freight, backed out on the main line with the caboose at about the elevator, and the boys started for it but before they got half way there, the train was going the other way, passing and leaving them. They spent the day fishing up about the pnmp station on the Platte and if good luck attends them their friends can have the fish procured any way.

Likewise, the popular clerk at Soennichsen's business mart, was a passenger for Omaha this morning, where he goes to meethis brother, Albert. Mr. Likewise has been mak ing his home for the past two years in the state of Wyoming with the family of his sister, Mrs. John Mumm, form erly of this place. Albert Is very low with consumption and his brother-in-law, Mr. Mumm, comes with him as far as Omaha as he is not able to make the journey alone. Mr. Mumm ex pects to come on to Plattsmouth.

Y., says: "Dr. King's New Discovery is my best earthly friend. It cured me of asthma six years ago. It has also per formed a wonderful cure of incipient consumption for my son's wife. The rlrst bottle ended the terrible cough, and this accomplished, the other symp toms left one by one, until she was per fectly well. Dr. King's New Discovery's power over coughs and colds is simply marvelous." No other remedy has ever equaled it. Fully guaranteed by F, G. Fricke & Co., druggists. 50c and $1. Trial bottle free.

I Thft Masonif! lnds?e at their rpcnlar meeting last night, made a Mason of Rev. A. L. Zink, there being a large number in attendance. After the initiatory work had been completed, and the regular business of the lodge closed, they repaired to the; banquet room where a sumptuous repast was awaiting, the tables being presided over by the prince of cooks, Fred Stad elman. At the banquet W. L. Pickett acted as toast master, and toasts were re sponded to by Rev. J. II. Salsbury, Byron CJark, M. Archer.Henry Gering and A. L. Zink. Rev. Salsbury being the first speaker took occasion, in a very friendly manner, to touch up his brother of the cloth, and as be was the new member, found the thin pla ces in his coat of armor. The next speaker, Byron Clark, brought the laughter and applause by his witty sallies. It was not until the next speaker, Rev. Zink, was farily launched upon his theme that the banqueters were really wide awake, for in return for the compliments handed him by the first speaker, he drew attention to the mistakes made by his brother and friend. The newly made Mason held his brother up be fore the light in such a manner that the thin places and the more hereby opaque spots could easily be seen, al so showing when Masonry, rightly ap plied, would cover all; making a text ure serviceable for all occasions. At a late hour all departed well pleased with the evenings entertain ment. "GRUB HOUSE" ON WHEELS Improvements on Grain Elevator. The Duff Grain company are making some very extensive improvements and some very much needed work on their elevator at Cullom. One of which will be the putting in of a new belt and new cups, and a decided change in the bins so as to enable them to handle their immense busi ness at that point with more dispatch. John McNurhn and John Murray are doing the work. The old elevator be longing to the company at this place which does very little business is a monument of what lack of enterprise and neglect will do. This elevator with its capacity for storing and its resources to the car supply of the Burlington road should enable them to do a large business. On account of lack of proper repairs, permits grain to be hauled passed their door to others a much greater distance away. A little girl of Wm. Holly's It is re ported has the measles. The Burlington Has Adopted a New Mode of Caring for Track Laborers. Jim Hill is a man of many surprises, lie is liable to dash off some new and startling edict most any old time. Not long ago he startled the conduc tors by an order requiring them to shave off their beards and wear whit e vests. The latest ukase from this railroad czar is a sort of solar plexus for board ing house keepers along the Burling ton who have been depending on ex tra gangs for much of their profits. A system of boarding bouses on wheels has been established. Hereto fore Italians working on the road have boarded themselves in this manner, and hereafter workmen of all nation alities in extra gangs will be fed and lodged in cars especially fitted up for the purpose. just now there is an extra gang quartered at Henderson doing work on the north branch out of Hastings Their outfit consists of 13 cars and has accommodations for 92 men. A man by the name of Greer of Kan sas City has the contract to board the men. The company furnishes the cars, fuel and ice, and Greer feeds and sleeps the men for M.75 per week. Greer is in the business in a wholesale way and has outfits all over the west. He also sells tobacco and other little necessities to the workmen, so that there is very little patronage that goes to local merchants at the towns where the outfit may be located. E. B. Brown of Red Oak has charge of the extra gang now at Henderson, Iowa, and the Glenwood Tribune says this is the first of tbe outfits to be put on the road on the Creston division. The men appear to be very comfort ably situated. The cars used are com mon freight cars with small windows added. End doors have also been put in the cars so that the men can pass from one car to another. The oppro brium of "side door sleepers" cannot thus be applied. The train consists of seven sleeping cars, each containing bunks for six teen men and an inviting place for other inhabitants. There are three cars used for dining purposes and one for kitchen and provisions, and one is used as a combination office and com missary car.
