P-r:ni:i has cured me of catarrh. 1

praise of Peruna. I tball recommend

When any one has catarrh of the head
or throat they know it. Snulling, sneez
ing, coughing, spitting, gagging, ehok
iiiu these are some of the symptoms.
When any one lias catarrh of the bron
chial tubes they are not quite so apt to
recognize their trouble as catarrh, al
though there are a great many people
who beirin to appreciate the fact that ca
tarrh of the bronchial tubes is sure to
create a cough.
Catarrh produces symptoms according
to the place in the body where the ca
ta:rn is located. Catarrh deranges the
function of anv organ.
If thecatarrh be in the stomach it pro-1

A Nebraska Town of Which the Last
House Has Gone Into the River
AFTER A STUGGLE OF 35 YEARS.
The Town of Barney Which at One Time Had
1 500 Inhabitants is No More.
After fighting for its life for thirty
five years with the Missouri river, the
town of I5arney, Neb., has at last given
np the struggle, the post office has been
abandoned, the last house has gone sail
ing down the muddy "Mizzou," and
where once was a prosperous town there
today flows a swift current of the most
treacherous river in the world the Mis
souri. It was the longest and hardest
fight anv town ever nut up against the
Missouri river, and likewise it was
the hardest fight the Missouri ever wag
ed against a town, but the result only
emphasizes the boast often made re
garding that river. "When the Missouri
goes after a anything it gets it."
The Burlington railroad, which for
merly maintained a station at Barney,
moved the building away several years
ago, when the river threatened the only
place in town where a depot could be
built. And the tracks which formerly
went through the town have now been
moved high up on the hillside beyond the
reach of the water.
Thirty years ago Barney was one of
the thriving tows of southeast Nebraska.
It was then about five years old, had
stores of all kinds, a bank, pretty resi
dences and the river line of the Burling
ton railroad. It was a rival of Nebras
ka City, and it was nip and tuck be
tween the two towns as to which should
become the metropolis of the territory.
But the Missouri entered the list in
favor of Nebraska City and quietly be
an working the physical destruction of
Barney.
In those days the river traiffic on the
Missouri was immense. In fact, Barney
was a good sized town long beforejthe
Burlington built its track down the river.
And because of the newness of the towns
themselves, the people living along the
Missouri river did not understand the
vagaries of the stream.
So, when the Missouri began cutting
into the bank on the Nebraska side, sev
eral miles above Barney, no one in that
town paid any attention. Land was
plentiful and cheap, and instead of fight
ing against the muddy current the own
er of the land simply moved back to the
hills and kept on about his business.
But by the following year the river had
cut away the intervening lands and was
actually at the very doors of the town
itself.
Then Barney woke up and went to
work. First a great dam was a built,
ARM GUT BY GLASS
Vhiie at Work in LA. Moore's
Greenhouse
George Bax had a severe cut on his
arm this morning while at work at L.
A. Moore's greenhouse. Mr. Moore is
having a concrete wall built around the
west side of hi3 greenhouse extending
about 150 feet in length, and six feet
high, replacing the wooden supports
which have been there previously. This
morning while at work on the wall, in
attempting to remove one of the wood-
M supports a piece of glass above was
loosened and falling struck Mr. Bax on
the arm severing an artery, causing the
blood to leap out in successive pulsations.
The wound was closed as best it could
be, and he hastened to procure medical
attendance. Alter being dressed it is j
feeling fairly comfoi table under the cir
cumstances, but will not allow the
owner to work verv soon.
In speaking of Mrs. Sheldon, the ex
cellent wife of Governor George L.
Sheldon, the Beatrice Sun says: "Mrs.
George Sheldon, wife of the governor,
followed thelatteres address, by request
with a brief talk before a teachers'
institute at Broken Bow recently and in
speaking of "graft" evils said the place
to begin correcting them was in the ;
home and school room. She expressed
an eminent truth that ought to be im
pressed on the minds of old and young
everywhere. Home and school training
is all important in f ortif ying the country
against dishonest citizenship."

with gravel and rock face. The dam
lasted until the first spring raise in the
water, and then it disappeared in a
jiffy.
Great willow mats were made and an
chored against the river banks. They
were weighed down with lug rocks
brought by the Burligton, which had by

tore them out and carried them away
just as soon as it got in the way of its
mighty current .
Expensive riprapping anil cribbing were
thrown up by the town and the river
gathered it all into its greedy maw and
simply ate it up.
Closer and closer came the water to
the town. House after house was mov
ed back toward the bluffs. And soon
where the houses had stood and where
there had been pretty green lawns came
the ugly muddy water of the great Mis
souri. Gradually the river ate its way to the
business portion of the town, where
stood brick buildings and blocks which
could not be moved. As it undermined
these the merchants and occupants mov
ed out and one by one left the town.
Finally every business house in town had
been washed away.
By that time all the residences had
been moved on that side of the town
furtherest from the river, and half the
houses were deserted entirely. The
great hills prevented their being moved
further, as well as kept them from chang
ing the location of the town to the north
or south.

not a single house went adrift. Again

In its palmy days Barney had 1,500
people. Its population was now reduc
ed to a mere handful.
Finally a deserted blacksmith shop was

The summer rise in the river came and
one day last week this single remainder
of the town of Barney toppled over and
went down the river in the wake of its
companions of former years.

J. H. WALLINGER
LAID AT REST
Large Number of Sympathetic
Neighbors and Friends At
tend Last Sad Rites
In the presence of a large congrega
tion of relatives and friends of the late
J. H. Wallinger at the church in Cedar
Creek, Ilev. Spreigel said the last sad
words over the remains of the one the
people had come to pay their tributes of
respect. The speaker showed the worthy
life, the good deeds which he had done,
his character as a tender and loving hus
band and kind, indulgent father, and
one of the best of neighbors. The de
ceased was a member of the Modern
Woodmen of America, and at the Wal
dradt cemetery where he was laid to
rest, this order took charge of the re
mains and according to the beautiful
ceremonies as per their ritual, illustrat
ed the meaning of the fraternity to
which he held allegiance. That the ob
jects of the fraternity as a band of
brothers, was to nurse the sick, bury
the dead and care for the widow and ed
ucate the the orphan. After ceremony
of the Woodmen, Rev. Spreigel, in a
short but very eloquent prayer, asked
the benediction of high heaven on those
left to mourn this untimely departure
of the husband and father. The pall
bearers were Philip Stacher, Ferdinand
Hennings, Charles Hennings, jr., John
Albert, John Gauer and David Jordine.
JUDGE CUTS THE WEEDS
While at supper last night the Journ
al editor's daughter called to us to come
and see Judge Travis mowing weeds.
We arose from the table and rushed to
the front part of the house and there.
sure enough, was Judge Travis cutting
weeds along the sidewalk in front of our
residence. And he didn't let up either,
until he had them all down. Now, if
Billy Wheeler will enlist in the good
work and come down with his scythe
and cut what are in the yard, we will
be happy. Judge Travis handles a
scythe with nearly as much dignity and
grace as he does the law, and we would
like to see if Treasurer Wrheeler can do
as well.
FALL OVER 30 FEET
Two Painters of Elmwood May
Be Fatally Injured
A special from Elmwood under date
cf August 9 savs: "Shortly after noon
today, while painting the large new barn
of Henry Frisbee, one mile north and
four miles east of Elmwood, Geo. Oli

place, were seriously if not fatally in
jured by their scaffold giving away, al
lowing them to fall a distance of over
thirty feet. They were picked up un
conscious and taken into the house and
medical aid summoned. Mr. Oliver had
his arm broken and may be injured in
ternally. At 5 o'clock Mr. Ince was
still unconscious and it is feared his baclc
is broken, as a large iron hook struck
him in the back. It is also likely that
he is injured internally. Mr. Ince is a
single man and ha3 no relatives here.
Mr. Oliver is a married man with quite
a family."
