Our friend, Joe Zimmerer, is carry in? his arm in a sling, all on account of endeavering to be an athelete. Last Thursday morning a number of the boys made up their mind to go out and try to "snake-in" a few hundred pounds of fish, and just as the vehicle got in front of his home, Joe thought of some fishing tackle that he was about to leave behind, and in jumping from the wagon he lit on the right arm in such a man ner as to break the same at the wrist, both bones being broken. Dr. Brendel reduced the fracture, and while the same has been somewhat painful, Joe is getting along as well as could be ex pected. The boys say Joe failed to de liver as many fish to his friends as he promised. But he hopes to try fishing again before the season closes. Joe is a good fellow and his friends regret his misfortune. Settle Dispute Ala Nelson. A couple of our citizens got into a rangle last Friday and attempted to settle the matter ala Nelson and Gans. While one was somewhat older and heavier in weight than the other, it seems that weight was of no effect in this contest. The young man seemed to swift for his opponent and after a couple of knock-downs the young man took to his heels, followed by the older with a large board about as much as he could conveniently carry, and after he had followed the retreating for a few yards, he then threw the plank down. The boys talk now of putting these parties on the road bidding all contest ants for the championship to come to Avoca. tationery 0 9 Avoca., . Nebrsvsko.. ice! ice!! ice!!!

In fact nature is always a great factor, the physicans merely assisting, in order to make the recovery swifter and to alleviate pain, or to stimulate the organs to obey the laws of nature. In painful and waisting diseases of the organs of digestion the patient cannot wait. He needs a good medicine, the sooner, the better. The best, he can find, is Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine. It stimulates all organs that are employed in the digestion of food, and strengthens them. The mechanism of the body will be returned to its regular working order and nature will keep it so. As soon as your appetite will not be usual; or you will notice that you do not fetl well, you must assist nature by using Trainer's American Elixir of Bitter Wine and nature will help you. It will give you pure blood, strong nerves and perfect digestion. At drug stores Joseph Triner, 616-622 So. Ashland Ave , Chicago, 111. W. C.

ZEPPELIN'S GREAT FLIGHT STARTS MONSTER AIRSHIP ON 24-HOUR JOURNEY. Sails Swiftly to Mayence, with One Stop for Repairs, and Turns Homeward. Friedrichshafen, Aug. 5. Arising from its floating dock on the dark green waters of Lake Constance early Tuesday morning, the great dirigible airship of Count Zeppelin was sent away for a 24-hour journey in the air to Mayence and return. Late at night the apex of the triangular flight had been turned and the monster of the air, with nose pointed southward, was reported speeding along under starry skies toward Friedrichshafen, where it was hoped the journey would end Wednesday. The flight to Mayence, however, was not an uninterrupted one, for some thing went wrong with a propeller while speeding along above the valley of the Rhine and Count Zeppelin was compelled to bring the airship down to the surface of the river at Nacken heim, eight miles from Mayence, where repairs were effected. The dirigible again was sent oh high and the trip that probably will prove a record one was recommenced. The weather for the ascension was most auspicious. The ship of the air rose majestically to a height of 400 feet and crossing the lak- circled the town of Constance, then turning, re traced the path of its flight and, de scribing a perfect circle, passed over Friedrichshafen and then soared west ward over the lake to Basle, on the Swiss frontier. Turning the vessel slightly toward the northwest. Count Zeppelin steered it over Mulhausen and then directed its flight northwest erly to Strassburg, thence following the valley of the Rhine northward, to Mayence, a distance altogether of over J5Q mil" oc f Afoca, lass Manley Department W.

Mrs. IIarm3 and children returned Meeting With Favor. A. Claybaugh who has been circulat ing the subscription list among the merchants to secure street lights for Main street, reports meeting with much success and believes that eventually enough will be taken in to insure the putting in up the lights. He estimates that it will cost close to four hundred dollar to even fit to the lamps and get them in place so that for one year at least the Company can not hope to make anything on the deal. He states that a number of the business men ob ject to furnishing the lights believing it the duty of the city to do so, and he intends should the subscription not pan out, to take the matter up with the Mayor and council to see if the defici ency, should there be one, is guaranteed by the city. No matter how the light is obtained it should be put in as the streets at present are entirely too dark. Try for a Special. John M. Leyda has taken up with the Missouri Pacific Railway, the matter of securing a special train from this city to Lincoln and return, on Aug. 12, the day of the Bryan notification. He thinks that there would be a good crowd go on the train which would get out of here about 7 a. m. and return from Lincoln leaving there about 8 p. m. after the ceremonies were over. He today took the matter up with Agent Norton and expects to have an answer sometime during the day. The Journal cordially second3 this move of Mr. Leyda as there have been numerous inquiries from the country as to what was to done in the way of train service. It is to be hoped the matter can be looked at in the right light by the Railway Company and some ar rangement made in line with Mr. Lejda's suggestions. There will be a special train from Nebraska City to Lincoln and return and there ought to be no trouble in making up a train to run from Union here to connect with it. Bene Broken by Tenpin. Charley Truman, the proprietor of the bowling alley and pool hall on Main street, between Third and Fourth, yes terday afternoon had a bone in his left foot fractured by a . peculiar accident. He was setting up the tenpins on the alley for a game participated in by three strangers, and had just finished arrang ing the pins and stepped to one side, when one of them bowled the ball down the alley, striking the pins and causing one of them to fly from the alley, catch ing his foot just below the ankle. The bone was not badly fractured, but still it will keep him from attending to his business for several days to come. He did not summon medical attention as he did not consider the hurt as bad enough to warrant it, but dressed the foot himself. WThile painful the wound will doubtless not be serious as the bone will soon knit together again. It is safe to say that hereafter Charley will keep a safe distance from the pins tho. Charley Martin, the barber, has been having a great deal of difficulty this summer in trying to raise a crop of sweet corn. Everytime he gets the crop in shape to commence his harvest, some strange and abnormal animal us ually a cow comes along and devours the crop. He is getting some irritated over having to raise from his downy couch at some strange and unearthly hour and dash out into the ambient at mosphere with a club U- shoo the dis turber away. He threatens to have the majesty of the law invoked unless some of these cows are penned up. If the cow belongs to you beware. Manager home from Wayne Tuesday eve.

The Manley boys say they were treated royally, being asked to lunch by Mr. Teegarden and Dr. Shan non after the game. Will Get After Rates Mayor Gering today is in n et it of a letter from Mayor Brown of Lincoln, stating that he will take up his sugges tion of making an effort to secure re duced rates from this city to Lincoln for the Bryan notification meeting on the 12th. It is proposed to have the Commercial club of Lincoln get after the railroads and try and secure the rate of two cents per mile by the short line to apply on all trains between this city and Lincoln regardless of wheth er the trains run through Omaha. It is thought this would insure a much larger attendance than if .he full rate of $1.52 is charged. It would amount to the saving of 81 cents on the round trip fare. It is to be hoped the mayor's effort will prove successful anil the lower rate obtained. Speaks We!! cf Banning W. B. Banning of Union, ex-county commissioner, has tiled as candidate on the democratic ticket for state senator. The editor is personally acquainted with Mr. Banning, for bo it remembered he cited us to appear before him in I'latts mouth and "state reasons why we charged the county commissioners."
