I recommend it as superior to any prescription

The ose of 'Castoria la so universal and

A GENUINE TWISTER
A Terrific Wind Storm Sweeps Up
the Missouri Valley.
PLATTSMOUTH WAS FORTUNATE
No lniage Done Here Hut Tale of Il
UHter Come From Other Neighbor
ing Town Against th Oc
cupation Tan- Num.
Just Ullssed the Cyclone,
l'lattsmotith's location among t lie
hills gives her one natural advantage
not possessed by prairie towns. A
windstorm can not do effective work
or very great damage among our hills,
but is forced to seek a more level
country on which to vent its wraths
and play its cruel prauks. And our
tornado-proof location probably saved
us an unpleasant visit from a regular
old twister last night. Ataboutseven
o'clock a great black cloud was seen in
the northwest, apparently coming
down the valley of the Platte. But
the south wind, which had been blow
ing for nearly wenty-four hours, hur
ried the black mass northward at a
terriffic rate, and for a few minutes it
kept a weather vane hustling to indi
cate the direction of the wind. The
tornado,or cyclone or whatever it was,
passed up the Missouri river valley
and did considerable damage in the
bottom lands around Omaha and
Council Bluffs. The summer resorts at
Manawa and Courtland suffered
greatly, and at the latter place a boat
keeper was drowned at Cut-off lake,
while the three steamers were sunk at
Manawa. Several persons were more
or less injured at Omaha by being
struck by Hying missies, and consider
able property damaged. In this city
the damage was confined to broken
shade trees, and at the iirst ward
school building the belfry was blown
off.
Of Interest to Merchants.
Some few weeks ago J. B. Xortb
cutt, a merchant at Nebraska City,
refused to n;iv the annual occuDation
jtax which the city levied against his
business, and the city promptly pro
ceeded to enforce payment by taking
the matter into the courts. The result
was that the merchant won. Judge
Chapman tried the case and rendered
the decision yesterday. Owing to
the fact that there are several Platts
uiouth merchants who refuse to pay
their local occupation tax and the
jcity council has evidenced an in
dention to force payment, the de
i cision is of more than ordinary inter
est, lhe .Nebraska City .News men
tions the case in that town as fol
lows: "The case of the city of Nebraska
City vs. J. 11. Nortncutt wherein suit
was brought to collect tiie occupation
tax was heard this morning before
Judge Chapman, in district court,
and the court decided that the issues
were in favor of the defendant, and
that the city could not recover by
civil action the tax. on the manner
in which the suit was brought. This
is the same suit that has been in the
district court for some time, and was
once reversed on error in lower
court, but was tried today on the
issues of the case. The judge did not
state just how the city could collect
the occupation tax. as he rendered no
oral opinion. The case will be ap
pealed to the supreme court at once."
A Rival of the Iluhel Mystery.
There is another murder mystery for
the Omaha police to solve. This time
it is a man who is the victim. About
7 o'clock yesterday morning Private
James Ileffernau, company D, Second
United States infantry, was found
dead beside the Elkhorn tracks near
north Twenty-fifth street. The body
was removed to the morgue at once
and an examination made. It was
found that the skull on the right side
of the head, just above the ear, had
been fractured. There was a scalp
wound several inches in length. Wood
had flowed freely from the wound and
had covered part of the face. No other
bruises were found on the body. It
was supposed at first that Ileffernan
had been struck by an engine, but
when the dead man's pockets were
found to be almost empty the theory of
murder was advanced. A sergeant of
company D tays that Ileffernan was
known to have had some money and a
gold watch. A search of his locker at
the fort showed that these articles had
not been left there. Xo report of an
accident had been made to the Elk
horn officials.
Ileffernan was at the fort Tuesday
night until after the parade and then
went out for a walk. He h:is the repu
tation of being a good soldier, is not a
drinking man and never was known to
pick a quarrel. The police think that
the soldier was struck by a train and
knocked down the embankment; that
someone came along, saw the body
and rifled the pockets. The deceased
was thirty years of age, enlisted in
New York state and had served Learly
five years in the Second infantry. The
police, the coroner and the officials at
the fort are investigating the case.
The Picnic Postponed.
The Lord, or. the weather depart
ment, or some other agency, probably
J. Pluvius, does not smile upon our
colored people, and their picnic
scheduled for today has been post
poned on account of unfavorable
weather. For the past several weeks
preparations were being made for the
event on a scale that indicated a grand
time, and now it is all spoiled by the
copious showers of rain. An abund
ance of provisiona-were prepared for
th s event, and our ' colored friends
x Yi have enough to eat for several
days, even if tifcy do miss the picnic
part of the programme.
In Favor Of the itinliop.
Judge Chapman rendered his de
cision in the llonacum-Coibett case
at Nebraska City Weduesday. The de
cision is quite leugthy, covering six
pages of closely written legal cap
paper, and is in favor of Bishop liona
cum, as follows:
"The court finds upon the evidence
that defendent wrongfully usurps the
rights of parish priests in the mission
of Palmyra, and that he forcibly and
violently denies plaintiff the use and
enjoyment of the same. That the
plaintiff holds the fee tothe realty and
property of said parish and has the
right to occupy and use the same and
that defendant is a wrong-doer in so
far as he denies the plaintiff and his
appointee, Joseph A. Smith, the use of
the same, and said injunction is made
perpetual to the extent of forbiddine
defendant from entering the church
property of said mission for the pur
pose of interfering with plaintiff's
control over the same."
The judge also rendered a decision
in the other case, wherein the bishop
asks that Father Corbett be enjoined
from using the funds of the church
now in a bank at Palmyra. This de
cision was also in favor of the bishop,
and ends all litigation in the district
court for possession of the church and
money of the Palmyra mission.
The defendant's attorney filed an
exception to the ruling and forty days
was given to file a bond for $500, on
which to take an appeal.
The decision is just what has been
predicted it would be by those who
heard the testimony and know the
history of the case.
Father Corbett appeared very much
put out over the decision and was
rather dejected, as were also the other
priests who were there and who are
interested in downing the bishop in
this case.

There is more catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura
ble. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's ca
tarrh cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It
is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

SHOUT TALKS ON ADVERTISING.
Copyn'Bhted 1(!U l y Charles Austin lintes.
A Washington piano house is just
now using considerable space in the
local papers to advertise a voting con
test. The most popularschool teacher
in Washington is to be presented with
a free trip to Europe, lasting thirty
days. The ticket to cover all t ranspor
tation charges, hotel bills, carriage
drives, etc. from Washington to Eu
rope and back again.
This may be a very good scheme, but ;
I doubt it. It is hardly what I would
call legitimate advertising. A trip to
Europe and the most popular school
teacher has nothing on earth to do
with the desirability of the pianos. It
will be talked about more or less, and
in so much is advertising, but I doubt
very much if it will result in any very
great good. I would very much rather
take the money that this trip costs and
use it in straight newspaper advertis
ing. Advertising properly considered, and
in its strongest sense, is merely telling
people what and where and why par
ticularly why they should buy some
particular thing. Advertising isn't
good unless it accomplishes this and
convinces a greater or less number of
people that the advertiser and the
thing advertise! are just exactly what
they have been looking for.
A trip to Europe doesn't prove any
thing. It has nothing whatever to do
with the piano business, and anybody
from a butcher up, might use it with
equal propriety.
I do not believe in scheme advertis
ing of any kind. In some caes it may
pay, but they are few and far between.
The kind of advertising that can al
ways be depended on is newspaper ad
vertising. It always does what it is
intended to do if it is properly used.
If it ever fails it is not the fault of the
medium, but the fault of the adver
tiser or the way he advertises.
The right sort of advertisements in
the newspapers go right into the family
circle, exactly where the dealer wishes
his goods to go. For this reason, if
for no other, it is better than any
other possible method for bringing
busiuess.
I have had quite a good deal of ex
perience in managing different out
sideschemes foradvertisinga business,
and I have been able to figure up the
results rather accurately. I have
never et seen an undertaking of this
sort bring back enough money to pay
for itself, either directlv or indirectly.
This free European tiip will cer
tainly cau-e more or less talk, but
will it cause the riytit kind 'of talk?
Will it carry one-fourth the conviction
that straightout. common sense talks
in the newspapers would do V These
are questions on which the piano
people wili probably be expensively
intelligent after the contest is over.
