WE CANNOT SAY TOO MUCH These Women Say, in Substance, That Before They Took Pe-ru-na They Were Miserable. They Were Weak and Wretched. After Taking Pe-ru-na They Were Restored to Health and Usefulness. This Is the Whole Story In a Nutshell. If Pe-ru-na Can Do Such Wonders For These Women It Can Do the Same For You.

I will advise all I -an to take your "i.-dieine." That Ferguson Case. The case against the Rev. Wilbert P. Ferguson, at Lincoln, charged with statuary olTense, was continued from Saturday, until Monday, Oct. 14. Mu tual agreement between counsel made that at that time the show will really begin, and the programe carried out to the end. The Lincoln News of Satur day, in speaking of the great church scandal, says: "Subpoenas were made out, at the request of the defendant's attorneys, ordering cunstable Bartram to get service immediately on the following interested parties in thepros ecntion: Arthur E. Cross, Rev. Geo. W. Isham, Rev. Allen A. Randal, Rev. Adam C. Crossthwaite and Chancellor DeWitt C. Huntington.'' "Attorney Adams said that rumor had it that 'star' witnesses for the prosecution would speak to avoid being served with summons to appear in court because of the publicity that will be given to the hearing, and it was claimed by him that unless "they are served immediately there is danger that they cannot be found when want ed. Such a condition might furnish grounds for another postponement and council for Mr. Ferguson is anxious to avoid delay. "It is claimed by council for defense that the ministers who are to be wit nesses for the accused are in sympathy with the complaining witness and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E. Cross. How ever, the defendants lawyers, they de clare purpose to examine them in their efforts to bring out the facts." . "We were ready for the trial yester day, but would have Jbeen perfectly sat isfied had the county attorney consent ed to take it up today. said L. C. Burr, representing the accused. "We will have but a few witnesses, and they could be summoned upon short notice. ' ' "County Attorney Tyrell was not ready for the trial today, and there fore sought to get a postponement. The case had only been brought to his attention Wednesday of this week, and he claimed he has not .had sufficient time to prepare for an immediate hear ing. He had not coversed with the witnesses for the state and had wily talked with the complaintant, Arthur E. Cross, as to the matter of filing the complaint. He hud not probed into the matter and did not even learn the names. of all the witnesses that were to be summoned for the prosecution." "Today Cross and wife -were in con sultation with the county attorney at the court house for a considerable time. The object of their visit. was not relat ed. However it was thought that they wished to lay bare ?ome of the secrets of the church affair before the county MwiHttirmw.i in mil nw.- - oy J j i HM-A-E-STOUFFER Pe-ru-na Gave Health. Mrs. A. K. Stouffer, t'apioma, Kansas, writes : "Peruna lias given me health and strength ; it is the best medi cine that was ever, made for women. My friends say they never saw such a change in a woman. I talk to every one about Peruna. I cannot say too much for it." A Remedy for Women. It is safe to Fay that we have thousands of letters written to Ir. I lartman from women who repeat thes-anie sentiment to be found in Mrs. Stouffer's testi monial : "My.-friend.- say they never s-nw such a change in a woman." Over and over a-jain this sentence is penned by grateful women who are more than willing that we should use their words to assist other suffering women in finding a cure. l'erunais a great medicine for women It cb-anses the inside of the body in ' much the sanv way that water cleanses ! the outside of the body. attorney. Last night Mr. Tarrell re ceived a typewritten copy of the testi mony taken in the perliminary church trial of Mr. Ferguson. This testimony makes several hundred pages of type writing and will be useful only in devel oping the evidence in the criminal trial and for cross-examination." "Council for the defendant is busy planning for the hearing, but no state ments as to any special line or lines of defense have been given out. The at torneys merely say that it is their in tention to probe to the very bottom of the scandal." Statement of Accused "Rev. W. P. Ferguson has prepared the following for publication:" "How strange that my directors should rush into the county attorney's office, make out a criminal complaint in hot haste when they find that they must face their accusations in a civil trial, seek to have me publically arrest ed when I was prompt in making a.vol untary surrender the moment I heard of it, have the fact widely advertised that I am charged with crime, and then not be ready for a hearing. Why not ready, after more than three months have been spent in looking for everv trace from all quarters? Truly the complaintiant, Arthur E. Cross, can tell the court at once his complaint. Mrs. Cross is ready. Who are not ready? Who are the parties that have urged this matter, first in the church and now in a criminal court? Why are they not ready? Why have this matter to remain indefinite? Why did they rush into criminal proceedings the day civil action was instituted? Are these stout defenders of the faith acting for the glory of God and the good of Meth odism and with a spirit of charity and brotherly feeling to leave this matter to remain indefinite? The people are answering and I am content to leave the matter there till the court is ready to act." The Rev. Allen A. Rendall, who is mentioned above as one of the prosecu tioners, is the new Methodist pastor in Plattsmouth. How to Cure a Cold. The question of how to cure a cold without unnecessary loss of time is one in which we are all more or less in terested, for the quicker a cold is got ten rid of, the less danger of pneumonia and other serious diseases. Mr.- B. W. L. Hall, of Waverly, Va., has used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for years and says: "I firmly believe Chamber lain's Cough Remedy to be absolutely the best preparation on the market for colds, I have recommended it to my friends and the all agree with me."

Farley yesterday morning received a telephone message from Lin coln from his sister, Miss Margaret Farley, to the effect that she had a message from Thermopolis, Wyo. stat ing that their brother Will had been ac cidently killed at that place on last Fri day. The place where he had been living is not on a railroad or near one, Cody," Wyo., being the nearest station. Will has been at Casper, Wyo., which is a little over 100 miles southeast of I the place where he lived at the time of the accident. While at Caspar he had been engaged in the ranch business but had closed out his interests and gone to Thermopolis about two months since. He carried an insurance for $2,000, in favor of his sister Miss Margaret Far ley, who formerly taught in the schools here, but who accepted a position and has been engaged in teaching in Lincoln for the past two years. Will was about thirty-nine years of age, and had lived most of his life in Weeping Water, hav ing gone to the west only a few years ago. The Customary Wreck. Some rotten ties on a curve about two miles north of Union, near the farm of Wilson Carroll, the Missouri Pacific train from Omaha to the sduth at mid night caused the rails to spread, allow ing the baggage and express car to leave the track and cavort around on the right of way fort some time, this morning between one and four o'clock. No one was injured and no serious damage done with the exception of the delaying of traffic and tearing up of the track. It looks to us as though the people who have charge of the train service of the Missouri Pacific in this territory should be skilled statesmen, dipolmats, entertainers, blacksmiths, machinests and section men, in order to cope with the exigencies which they meet in a days travel. The Missouri Pacific is the marvel of the age, it looks like it was the forerunner of a new era, where it will be" possible to run railroads without track and bridges. In this age no one "heed be surprised at any thing. Should this road succeed, others may follow. Poultry Wanted Highest cash paid for poultry, deliver ed at Mynard any day in the week. Tel. 3 O. W.

NO riORE HALF FARES Clergymen Must Pay Usual Rates After First of Year After January 1, 1D0H, clergymen who have been traveling ujon half rates on all western railroads will be com pelled to pay full fare. This fact was made certain by the action of a general conference of all clergy bureaus of all the western passenger associations at Chicago. ' The transcontinental passenger asso ciation will continue to issue half rate permits to clergymen so long as the rates are not reduced in Colorado, Mon tana, Arizona and states west of there to the Pacific coast. The permits may also be continued in the states of Texas and Louisana, where their withdrawal depends upon the state commissions of those states. The action of the railroads is in line with the announced policy of withdraw ing all reduced rate privileges in states where 2-cent laws are passed. Don't Know Him. Ed. Edwards, who hails from the vil lage of Plattsmouth and not used to metropoliton manners, fell into the hands of the police last night and this morning was given the customary $5.00 and cost. Nebraska City News. In the first place, there is no such person living in this "village," as Doc MarneH chooses to term Plattsmouth. In the second place no Plattsonion who knows the poor quality of liquor kept on tap in Nebraska City would ever think of going from here to that place to take on "a jag." If our friend Mar neH will make us a visit we will soon convince "him that we are somewhat more . metropolitan than the burg of Nebraska City can possibly possess. A "village", indeed! We don't like such slander directed at our great, grand and glorious city. Married Her Grandparents Mrs. Ed Stamm, with her daughter-in- law, Mrs. Georga Stamm, of Moline, 111., and little grand-doughter, Susan Louise Stamm, departed for Havelock, Mrs. Ed Stamm's home. While here visiting at the home of grandmother, Aug. Reinhackle, little Susan was bap tized by Canon Burgess, Mr. Burgess was at the station to see the party off and in conversation with a reporter, said that he had preformed the marriage ceremony which united the grandpar ents of the little one which he was bap tizing today. Cannot Prohibit Card Playing The supreme court filed a small num ber of opinions, among them being one holding that a city of the second class cannot by ordinance prohibit innocent card playing in places of business. No such power is conferred by the legis lature in the charters of the cities of the second class. Such authority ' must be specific. The court granted a writ of habaes corpus applied for by Martin L. Shapp, of Wymore, who had been arrested and fint d and remanded to jail under the terms of an ordinance pro hibiting card playing in stores or public places.) Another Job for Rawls. The barber was C. Wes Clark and the editor was C. L. Graves, the latter's of fice being the scene of the battle. The trouble started over a $4 bill that the base ball enthusiasts owed Robert Trook for some good hard work on the ball diamond. Bob was an innocent party in the tragic affair, but the barber and editor couldn't exactly agree as to the mode of drawing the funds from the treasury. The barber and editor dis cussed the matter in language more em phatic than poetic, and the selection of pet names was rather reckless. At last the barber concluded the right thing to do was to "lick the editor" and he forthwith tackled the job. The fur flew for awhile, and when, the battle was checked by an outsider there didn't ap pear to be any urgent need of a coroner to sit on a defunct barber or editor, not even the surgeons got a call to dress the more or less dangerous wounds and scratches. The matter of pugilistic supremacy was left unsettled so far as the battle is concerned, and Jim Jef fries is left in doubt as to' which is en titled to a match with him. Union Ledger. Fourty-eighth Anniversary Yesterday being the 48th birthday of Mrs. P. F. Goos, a number of her friends and neighbors dropped in and spent the afternoon in a very enjoyable manneh In their coming they brought cheer and many wishes for her enjoy ing many more occasions. At the prop er time refreshments were served and number of beautiful and useful pres ents were bestowed as a token of the feelings which were entertained for the friends of the donors. In departing all wished her many happy returns of the day. Those present and to assist in making merry were: Mrs. Fred Rez ner, of Kirk wood, 111.; and of this city, Mesdames Louis Dose, Wm.

Faber of Greenfield, Iowa, was in the city yesterday looking over the herd of Red Polled cattle of Luke L. Wiles, with the idea of purchasing from his stock. Mr. Faber also visited and viewed the herd of W. H. Heil, but made no purchases. In conversation with the reporter of the Journal this morning at the Burlington station he said that the two herds were the finest he had had an opportunity to look at anywhere. From here he went to Council Bluffs, where he will look at a herd of the same kind there. We opine that our friend will have to look a long ways before he finds any finer stock than are contained in either of these herds. Returns From Missouri George Rhoden; came in this morning from his farm west of Murray, and tooK the early train for Omaha, where he will go to Council Bluffs to meet his wife who has been at Burlington Junc tion, Mo., for some time taking treat ment for rheumatism. He reports that Mrs. Rhoden is greatly improved by her treatment at the springs. Married in Omaha Charles Carraher and Mi.ss Berdie Pittman. two of our popular young people, were passengers to Omaha last Friday forenoon, but there were few here who had any intimation of their matrimonial intentions, in fact they planned ana earned out a nice surprise upon their numerous friends. At 1:20, Friday afternoon they appeared before Judge Leslie in Omaha, and after se curing the necessary permit that oblig ing official pronounced the words that made them man and wife. We are not informed as to where they intend mak ing their home, but wherever they may locate their numerous friends here wish them abundant happiness and pros perity. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Pittman, one of the highly respected pioneer families of this vicinity. She is a young lady held in high esteem by all who have formed her acquaintance, her jovial disposition making her a favorite among her as sociates. Mr. Carraher is an industri ous young farmer who has spent most of his past life in this vicinity, and his many friends are pleased by his excel ent judgment in selecting his life-part ner. The Ledger joins in the hearty congratulations, and wishes them all the blessings necessary for the enjoyment of long and happy wedded life. Union Ledger. Almost an Aeronant. Talk about going up in a baloon , or walking on air, there are about three people in this city today who can hard ly hold themselves down to the earth, but then it is no wonder, people who are generally good natured and having a smile that will not wear off,, are apt, when something pleasing occurs, to ex tend the borders of their smiles and have some difficulty in 1 repressing a pleasant little chuckle of a laugh. Well the three pleasant people are E. H. Wescott, the proud papa of a bouncing big girl which the stork brought to his home last evening, while the other two are Grandpa W. L. Street and Grandpa C. E. Wescott. They beat any pair, for they are three of a kind and all happy over the advent of the little stranger, which promises to not be a stranger very long. There are a num ber of other well pleased relatives, but their smiles do not show so plainly. Mother and little girl doing nicely, with some hopes for papa and-the two' grandpas. A Certain Cure for Crodp Used for Ten Years Without a Failure. Mr. W. C. Bott, a Star City, Ind., hardware merchant, is enthusiastic- in his praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. His children have all been subject to croup and he has used this remedy for the past ten years, and though they much feared the croup, his wife and he always felt safe upon re tiring when a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was in the house. 'His oldest child was subject to severe at tacks of croup, but this remedy never failed to effect a speedy cure. He has recommended it to friends and neigh bors and all who have used it say that it is unequaled for croup and whooping cough. For sale by F. G. Fricke and Co., and Plattsmouth Drug company. VERY LATEST IN LOCOMOTIVES Uonster of the Rail Capable of Pulling a Train Five Miles Long From the Schenectacy works of the Americun Locomotive company there has just been turned out for the Erie railroad a monster engine, and one which has the distinction of being the most powerful of any locomotive hith erto constructed. The building of this great engine wan brought about by the grade located at the west end of the Delaware division, which is 101 miles in length, and at the east end of the Susquehanna division, which is 140 miles long. The Scientific American has compiled some figures to show that at present the heaviest freight engine of the Erie, weighing lH 1,000 pound, can haul a train weighing .',400 tons from Cornell, at the west end of the Susquehanna division to Port Jeris, at the east end of the Deleware division, provided it is assisted over the eight-mile stretch of road above re I re red to containing a l..'l per cent grade. Up to the present time these freight trains have been as sisted over the grade by two and some times even three of the heaviest of the Erie helper engines; or if that were not done, it was necessary to cut the train in two. This entailed trouble and de lay, and also involved the use of extra engineers, firemen, etc. In order to solve the problem, it was suggested by the American Locomotive company to concentrate the helping power of one engine of exceptional weight and power, thus placing the whole of the auxiliary power in the hands of a single crew. The first locomotive of this type to be constructed in this country was built by the company for the Baltimore & Ohio mountain service; and in the few years it has heen at work it has given most exc ellent service, hauling even greater loads than were antici pated, and all the parts functioning satisfac torily. This was followed by a still larger engine for the same ela.JS of service, built by the Baldwin Loco motive company for the Great North ern company. The third to be built is the huge locomotive which forms the subject or the present article. I;y a study of the accompanying f'gjres show ing relative weights and dimensions, it will be seen that the Erie locomotive marks a great advance upon the other two, the total weight of the engine having gone up from 305,000 pourjds in the Great Northern to 410,000 pounds in the Erie locomotive, and the tractive effect from 71,000 pounds to 98,000 pounds. To supply steam to engines of such great power it became necessary to de sign a boiler far larger than any in ex istence. The weight of the the boiler is 100,000 pounds. It has a total heat ing surface of 5,314 square feet. The high pressure cylinders are twenty-five inches, the low-pressure thirty-nine inches in diameter, and both have a stroke of twenty-eight inches. The tractive effort of 98,000 pounds will be developed when the engine is working compound; but an intercepting valve is provided, by which the engin eer can turn his steam into the low pressure cylinders, in which case about forty-five per cent of the boiler pres sure will be realized in them, raising to a maximum of about 120,000 pounds."' Under these conditions the locomotive could haul 250 loaded freight cars a train that would measure nearly two miles in length. If such a train were loaded with wheat it .would represent the product of twenty-six square miles of wheat land. The engine could haul the load at a speed of between eight and ten miles an hour. The total weight of the engine u 210,000 pounds, which put in tonnage, gives the figure of 105 tons. The length of the engine is eighty feet. The locomotive is carried upon two sets of eight driving wheels each, all of the eight in each case being coupled, so that the whole of the weight of 210,000 pounds of the engine is available for adhersion. The boiler is mounted rigidly upon the main or after frame of the locomotive, and it weight is born partly upon this and partly upon the forward radial frame, on the front end of which the low pressure cylinders are mounted. When the locomotive enters a curve, the forward engine is free to swing to right and left, as the curve may be, the sliding bearing plate and other de vices allow it to do this with compara ively little resistance. As a matter of fact, because of the flexibility of the wheel base, the lateral wrenching effects of this engine upon curves will be less than that of much smaller engines. Moreover, the load being distributed among sixteen wheels, the concentrat ed wheel load of 51,250 pounds per wheel is considerably less than that of some locomotive of far less total wethig1.
