From the bracing rigors of winter to the balmy warmth of spring-time is a climatic change
that affects every one more or less. A great multitude of people, however, are so affected by the
change as to require medical assistance. 7r7'

early spring, the system is weakened, the blood over loaded with effete materials of the winter season jl H

kinds of remedies, herbal and mineral, have been used. 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.

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.

the journey alone. Mr. Mumm ex

Since he has been in Ft. Steele he has
been engaged in tba saloon business
and is prospering.
My Best Friends.
Alexander Benton, who lives on
Rural Route 1, Fort Edward, N. 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

Masonic Banquet.
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.

The latest ukase from this railroad
czar is a sort of solar plexus for board

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.
