Turity is the Font tire most important to the
consumer of water.
Other water may be just as clear.
Perhaps just as clean,
And perhaps just as cheap,
But it may not be just as PURE.
The water you use, should be the best.
Therefore, our artesian water,
Doubly distilled is the water to use.

NORTH PLATTE HAS A FLOOD
Heavy Rain Accompanied lr Hall and
Wind Ilestroys Property
of Great Valne.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb., July l.-(Special
Tolegram.) A severe storm came up from
the west lust evening about 7 o'clock. It
was preceded by a strong wind with clouds
going through peculiar antics. Clouds were
noticed with a largo funnel whirling with
the point upward. Soon heavy hall began to
fall and fell until the ground was covered
about three . Inches In depth. The hail
stones were large, many of them, by
actual measurements, being one and a half
inches In diameter, and on shady sides of
buildings hall Is yet to be found at this
hour 01 a. m.). The wind with the hall
caused It to do great damage and hun
dreds of window lights were broken out In
this city. Trees were trimmed of half of
small twigs and leaves and some large
branches were broken off. Hall broke
down some electric wire connections.
The streets of the city are practically
inundated on account of the heavy rainfall
which accompanied the storm. The amount
of rainfall, according to weather bureau
reports, was 2.74 inches. In some parts
of, this city the water is flowing through
the houses. Some sidewalks are washed
out and many of them are from six Inches
to a foot under water. Some of the prin
cipal streets are Just sheets of water vary
ing in depth from one foot to several feet.
A boat is to be seen occasionally in streets
where traffic yesterday went on dry land.
The rainfall continued all night, but the
Majority of the rainfall was In the even
ing. All crops In the pathway of the
storm are certainly destroyed. As near as
can be learned the storm began six miles
west of this city, at Blrdwood, gave this
city its brunt and went from here to the
south, how far is not known, as no one
is able to come from the south as yet. It
is impossible at this time to estimate the
amount of damage done, but surely it will
be thousands of dollars.

Can't Cnt Levy.
State Superintendent MeBrlen has had
hia attention called to tho assumption of
authority by a number of county clerks,
which the statutes falls to give them.
In several Instances whers the school of
ficers certlfr to the clerk the amount of
money they desire to raise tlfe clerk has
deducted the amount of money held In
the treasury to the credit of the school
district. This the state superintendent,
backed by the legal advice of the attor
ney general, says is illegal and wrong
and can't be done unless the levy Is more
than $2.50 on the $100. This because In
many Instances the school officers In mak
ing their levy have taken into considera
tion the amount of money they have In the
treasury.
Insurance Taxes Held T'p.
Insurance Deputy Pierce Is getting wor
ried about the collection of the reciprocal
tax due from a number of insurance com
panies. The case to test the constitu
tionality of the law has been in the courts
for over one and a half years and as the
Insurance Company of North America,
against which the case was started, has
recently filed an amended answer in the
supreme court, it is probable that the case
will finally go to the United States su
preme co"-t before It will be ended. At
this time there is considerably over $25,000
due the state under the reciprocal tax
law
Clutter to Draw Brldire Plans.
The famous Jahnel bridge bill, over which
there was such a fight In the last legisla
ture, finally resulting in a compromise
measure, and the passage of the bill, be
came effective today and Secretary Dob
son of the Board of Irrigation appointed
Joseph Clutter of Omaha to draw the plans
that are expected to be called for under
the provisions of the measure. Mr. Clut
ter has been drawing plans for Douglas
county for some time and has worked for
most of the bridge companies of the state.
One county made application for plans last
week, but as the letter did not say what
kind of plan was wanted and nothing was
said about paying for the plans, It was not
sent.
Live Stock Shipments,
The shipments of live stock during the
year 1904 show a considerable Increase
over the shipments of the year 1903, accord
ing to the statistics of the bureau of labor
and statistics, which were given out today
by Chief Clerk Don C. Despaln. The pros
perous condition of the farmer and stock
man Is shown by the fact that there were
829,985 more head of live stock shipped
in 1904 than In 1903.

was 4.6S2.333 head. In 1904 there were
955,791 head of cattle shipped, as com
pared with 955,263 head in 1903. The sim
ilarity of these figures is Indicative of the
steadiness of cattle shipment. The com
parison of hog shipments for the two
years shows an increase of 581,398 head,
there being 2,742.909 head shipped In 1904
and 2,161,511 In 190X The horses and mules
shipments In 1904 were 57,952 head and 64,823
In 1903. A large gain Is noticeable In the
cheep shipments, the 1901 shipments total
ing 923,681 head as compared to 680,751 in
1903.

NERVO-SEXUAL DEBILITY
What a vast amount of wretchedness, misery and sorrow this disease br'ngs
upon a man, and often due to his folly or his Ignorance. It Is a serious thing
that men contract or Inherit disease or weakness, but the most serious results
are sure to follow neglect or Improper treatment. It seems strange that some
men will defer treatment day after day, racked In body and wrecked in mind,
when there It- a safe, certain nnd sure way of escape. We offer you this aid,
this help, this certainly of restoration.
Private diseases and weaknesses of men have been the means of blighting
the most rndl'int hopes, rendering marriage unhappy and business a failure.
Weakness unfits a man for his home, where men should find their happiness.
It unfits him for business, where men should meet with success. It unfits him
for friendship and leads him to shrink from companionship. The magnetism
that wins men Is absent. The manliness that attracts women is displaced by
a shrinking weakness, and the victim, knowing this, usually seeks solitude.
Nrvn.Si'ul Dehllltv numbers among Its victims the best of men. Their
nnih rroniid miprt'SK and their o uallflcat Ions deserved It. Their manhood
iroiiurht failure and novertv. and for no other cause. There are thousands

those who are married whose keenest aflllctlon lies in the feeling that they are
dlsounlirted and that the one whose admiration means most must know It.
For a speedy cure of the diseases that so insidiously destroys the Intellect,
strength and verv manhood, secure the services of the eminent specialists con
nected with the'Klectro Medical Institute. They will stop these unnatural
drains, with their tcrrlb'e results, and restore to sound health the pliable vic
