From Thursday's Daily. T. AI. Carter, S2, of P.tair, Neb., who left his native state, Ohio, in April 1S55, in a covered wagon for Nebraska and arrived May 14 at the point where Omaha now stands, claims he has lived in Nebraska longer than any other person out side of Omaha. For a time he included Omaha in this claim, hut found that Fred Davis president of the First National bank came to Omaha in September, 1854. lie wants to know if anyone else, except Mr. Davis, has lived in Ne braska as long as he has. "When I arrived where Omaha now is a few board shanties and cot ton tents dotted the prairie, where now stands a deservedly prosperous metropolis of the west," Mr. Carter said. "I settled upon what is now the townsite of Hlair before the govern ment survey had been made and built a cabin. I farmed the land for ten years, donated the right-of-way for the building of the Sioux Citv branch- of the Union Pacific railroad and sold to the railroad all but twenty acres in 18CS. "I organized the first. Sunday school in Washington county at Do Soto in the spring of 1S5G. I was present at the Fort Calhoun ' claim fight in the summer of 1855 when Major Goss was killed and two others were wounded. When the Indians killed and scalped Porter and Demeree, two of our neighbors, on their claims while they were breaking prairie near Fontenelle, and many others, fled the country for safety, I and three companions stayed by our claims, slept on our arms and defied the red men. In October, 18C2, my brother, who had come to Nebraska with me, and I decided to spend the winter in the defensCof our country, so we en listed. We were looking for the Modoc Indian with the seven notches on his gunstock, representing an equal number of white men killed, J and the Apache Indian who displayed at his- belt the greatest number of imle face scalp:-. We did not find them." Omaha News. In the matter of having lived in Nebraska the longest, we have three with which we can successfully pit against Mr. T. M. Carter, in the race for seniority, and others who would run him a cio?e second. Wm. Gil- niour came to Bellevue, in 1S3H, and moved to Kock IUuITs about four years later, is stiil living here. A. W. O'Neill and sifter Mrs. Wm. Ilcr ol'l moved from across the river here in the spring of 1S54, with their father James O'Neill. They are still living here. L. 13. Brown, who makes his home at the Perkin3 Houce tit this time came here in March 1854, all these beating lur. Carter a year and more. On June 20th, lSEf, John McDaniel came here from Iowa, and made his home in Nebraska, ho was some six weeks later than Mr. Carter Many other'peoplc can be found who are near- that date. MAKES ANOTHER PURCHASE. From Friday's Daily. Wm. Barclay last evening coiuplet ed negotiations for the purchase of the A. J. Trilety residence on South Fifth street, which he will have for rental purposes. Mr. Trilety will occupy the place for the present and will during the summer build a home for . himself on the place which he has on south Chicago Avenue and which was formerly known as the McKonkie place. Mr. Trilety ex pects to build a home there which will he a comfortable place to live, and .will allow of the keeping of some stock, which he has on the place at present, but which with having to go out and hack morning and evening makes it inconvenient now. Do You Enjoy Life? A man in good physical condition is almost certain to enjoy life, whIe the bilious and dyspeptic are de spondent, do not enjoy their meals and feel miserable a good share of the time. This ill feeling is nearly always unnecessary. A few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets to tone up the stomach, improve the digestion and regulate the bowels is all that Is needed. Try it.

Would Plattsmouth people recom mend Doan's Kidney Pills as they do if the medicine were not reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their ex periences did not show the remedy to be deserving of it? Statements like the following must carry conviction fo the mind of every reader: . M. Barclay, chief of-police Fifth & Pearl Sts., Plattsmouth, says "I have bought Doan's Kidney Pills from the Crescent Pharmacy and can say they are all right. For lumbago and trouble from the kidney secre tiens Doan's are splendid. After : used them, the pain across my back left immediately.'' (Statement given December 29, 100S.) On February 22, 1916 Mr. Bar clay saidi "I have taken Doan's Kid ney Pills for years-and they have never failed to do good work when I have had need of a kidney medicine Price 60c, at all dealers.
