Bonds for City Hall.
At a meeting of the city council Tues
day evening tho initial move toward
building a city hall was taken when the

ordinanco submitting to tho electors of
the city & proposition to vote $15,000 in
bonds for the construction of tho pro
posed building. This action followed the
submitting of plans of the building
which had been prepared by Architect
Shaffer, and which met the approval of
the mayor and council.
When the proposition is placed be
fore the voters it will be fully explained
in these columns. '
Library Site Satisfactory
Miss Annie Kramph. secretary of tho
Carnegie library committee, has re
ceived word that the site purchased for
the library is satisfactory, and the com
mittee has been instructed to have plant)
drawn for the building. It is probablu
that these plans -will be made by n
Hastings architect who planned tho
library buildings at York dnd several
other Nebraska towns. These plans will
be submitted, to Mr. Carnegie's repre
sentative for approval before bids for
the construction work is asked. Thu
building, it 1b expected, will be ready
for occupancy before the end of the
present year.
Railroads Prepare for the Locusts
Nebraska railroads will experiment
with the seventeen year old locust prob
lem this coming year. This is the year
that scientists predict the locusts eggB
will hatch and that the middlo western
states will again see the plague of the
insects in their midsteating up the.crops.
All manner of suggestions ure offered
for dealing with the pests and some of
those may bo tried out by the Burling
ton railroad. All the railroads of the
country are naturally interested in the
subject because if the crops of the land
ure damaged the railroads will have
hard picking with no grain to move.
D. Clem DOaver, head of the land
seekers' information buicau of the
Burlington, is now corresponding with
a man who asserts that he has a liquid
which will effectually kill off tho locust.
The liquid may bo nsed as a -apray to
protect the young trees, which the in
sects attack and very often kill. The
boring into the bark and tho laying of
the locust eggs in the trees poisons tho
sap of the young fruit trees and the
nexTfall they very often die.
"The Locust scarp may well develop
into a real one," said Mr. Deaver Mon
day, "It is quite possible that in spite
of the amount of cultivation in Ne
braska the insects will be here in force
or migrate to this state. One of the
reasons the locust did not do much
damage in 1894 was because in thai
year there was no crops to destroy, the
dry weather having killed them nil."
"Later on as the spring approaches
there will probably be some scientist
who will shew us a way how to either
kill the eggs or prevent the ones laid
this year from hatching.

To aid in introducing tho famous British remedy, Cclmo,
in this community, wo aro permitted to distribute a limited
auantitv of fuil-sizo bottles, absolutely frco of cost. Wo
know that any mcdicino of genuine merit, like Cclmo, must
gain a firm foothold wherever introduced, when its virtues becomo
known through experiences of cured persons. And the experiences
of mtinv wiio have used Celmo have been verv remarkable, indeed.
Some had suffered more than a scorp of years, with tho worst forms of rheu
xnatism or other Uric aoid ailments, and had "tried everything," with
out receiving any benefit until thoy used Celmo. As an illustration, note
What a French Ambassador Writes:
"For upwards of 84 yearn I suffered periodically from attacks of Rhumtlo Goat which nt different
times bad a very bud effect on my general health, on two pr tbreo occasions even endangering tnr
U(o. You advised mo to use Celmo. It U my duty to state that I hare recofered and could not feel
better. (After 6H years) Have bad no return to date ot my ease."
A. JJouru, Ambanador oFranti, 10 Rut Ctmaroia, Parii.
It is a noteworthy faot that members of the Nobility and other eminent personages of
Europe, who do not mako a practice of writing testimonials, have endorsed Celmo in the
hlchcst terms. In the U. S. also, Celmo's succcess has been unparalleled. The reason for
this is simply that Celmo removes the oaute of rheumatic conditions, instead
of merely suppressing symptoms for a time, or ''killing the pain" by killing the
nerves. Thus it produces permanent result. Celmo contain bo Opiates, Mac
cury. Arsenic, or other injurious ingredients, commonly Used in rheumatism,
romedies; guaranteed under if. S. Food 6i Drugs Act. Can be taken by a child
wluiout tho least barm.
