Ralph W. Kimler a short time ago one
of the most popular young1 men In Au
burn, later driven to commit theft in or
der to pay his way In the social swim,
for which he was sentenced to the peni
tentiary, today Is an ex-convict and will
for the few short days he has to live
breathe the air of freedom. His sen
tence, which would have expired June 13,
was commuted today by Governor Mickey
because the physicians said Kimler had
little time to live, having contracted tuber
culosis and that little time might be pro
longed should he be taken to the moun
tains. Last week Kimler will released on parole
and returned to his old home In Auburn,
where three years before he had been so
popular, to find that his former friends
knew him hot. This treatment. If Is said
by -the physicians, has aggravated bis dis
ease and made his condition much worse.
Kimler was convicted of stealing and
selling two cows. The hides of the csws
were found in a wholesale house, traced I
to the butcher who had soil them and
from the butcher information was secured
that convicted Kimler. He was sentenced
for -4he tear. ...-

There has been considerable ngltatlon in
York county over the absorption of the
Kanas City & Omaha railroad by the
Turlington railroad and one of the leading
newspapers In York has been asking that
some legal steps he taken to enforce the
law against the Eurllngton. Since the
Kansas City & Omaha railroad passed
m.dr the control of the Burlington, there
has been les train service and the service
given Is little better than none. The only
'rvice this place has Is a freight, which
rrsses through h re In the morning about
daylight and a freight which Is due at
any time along about mldnipht.
There Is no accommodation in n service
of this k'nd, and citizens depending on
passenger service are compelled to drive

The Kansrs City & Omaha railroad runs
through some of the richest and most
productive farm lands in Nebraska. Its
lines are from Stromsburg to I.ushton, and
from here to Alma, and from McCool
Junction to Fairbury.
It Is clinreed by a local leading news
pi. per. that sine, the purchase of the Kan
sas City & Omaha railroad the B.irlington
has not run sufficient trains for t!ie no
eonimodation of the patrons of the road,
nor has It provided facilities to transact
their business, nnd the eiplnion given by
one of the leading attorneys is that the
constitution and laws of the state' e.f Ne
braska provide that a railroad company
In the state cannot buy a competing or
pnrallel lino, and In the constitution of
the state is the following:
No rnllrond, corpen-atlon or telegraph
company shall consolidate Its stock, prop
erty, franchise or earntnss in all or in
part with any other railroad, corporation
or telegraph company owning a parallel
or competing line, nnd In no case shall
any consolidation take place, except upon
public notice of at least sixty days to nil
stockholders in such manner as may be
ptovlded by law.
Considering t'.nt the express agreement
In the Issue of bonds given tei aid the
building of this railroad by the different
townships In this county, provides that it

BROKEN BOW, Neb., May 7. (Special.)
The Central Nebraska Live Stock asso
ciation, whose headquarters are here, has
convened again and decided that active
measures will be adopted In the suppres
sion of the Texas itch now a great plague
among Nebraska cattle. The method of
attack is dipping, and the fluid used is a
compound of lime ' and sulphur. Broken
Bow will be the manufacturing and ex
perimenting station for the territory of the
Hssociatiori, which as the name Implies, In
cludes nearly the whole of the central
part of the state. The plan of the asso
ciation is co-operative and the dip will be
furnished members at cost, which will
amount to $3 per barrel or one-third of
the rate charged on ready-prepared dip by
outside dealers.
Three years ago when the Central Ne
braska Live 8Vek association was first
otKbnized the object was simply a union In
defence against local stock thieves which
at that time were very numerous. Success
In a paying measure having attended this,
the association, has lately taken to action
against other evils to which the stockman
Is heir. When an animal having an alii
ment arrives at market It Is promptly con
demned and must either be disposed of
on an enormous dock or reshlpped at the
owner's expense. As neither alternative
Is calculated to enrich the stockman. It
has boen thought nscessary to co-operate
on this also to reduce expense.

BEATRICE, May 7. Today witnessed the
closing of the trade carnival after a suc
cessful run of one week. Among the in
teresting features of today's program was
a bsse ball game between PUkrell and
Beatrice teams, which was stopped In the
fourth inning by rain. The score was
body without killing the tlaauea, too.
There la nothing else known which will
do that. Any drug that kills genus la a
poison, and It cannot le taken Internally.
For that reason medicine is practically
helpless in any gerin disease.
Liquozone la so certain that we pub
lish on every bottle an offer of $1.j
for a disease germ that It cannot kill.
The reason la that germs are vegetables;
and an excess of oxygen the very life
of an animal la deadly to vegetal mat
ter. Liquozone la certain destruction
to the cause of a germ trouble, yet to tie
liumnn body It la the most helpful thing
in the world.
We paid $100.010 for the American
rights to Liquozone, becauae this pro
duct alone can end a germ disease.
Germ Diseases.
These are the known germ diseases.
All thitt medicine can do for these
troubles la to help nature overcome the
germs, and such results are indirect and
uncertain. Liquozone kills the germs,
wherever they are, and the results are
inevitable. By destroying the cause of
the trouble It Invariably ends the dis
ease, a tad forever.
