An Appeal
Wo havo been to considerable
expense lately and need money very
much. If each of our delinquent
subscribers would pay up it would put
us on easy street. Wo ask each one
who is owing on subscription to cons
sider that this means him or her, and
trust the response will be immediate.
Help us out.
Saved From Torlblo Doath
The family of Mtb. M. L. Bobbitt of
Bargorton, Tenn., biiw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used, failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her life. In
tills terrible hour Di. King's Now
Discovery for Consumption turned
despair into joy. The first bottle
brought Immediate relief and its con
tinued use completely cured her. It's
tho most certain cure in the world for
all throat and lung troubles. Guaran

Mrs. Allcu U. Abbott, of Omaha, will
give the ladies of Nemahn a freo
lecture under thu nuBpieea of thu ladles
aid society at the M E church, Tues
day, February 0, 11)00, at 2:30, Mrs.
Abbott has lectured in many cltlos and
her looturoH are not only instructive
but very entertaining. All should
make a Btrong effort to bo present,
A man In Nemaha made tbo proposi
tion to Mrs Hill u fow days ago that
if she would build a brick on tbo south
aide of M. T. Hill's lot, he would put
up a brick botween thai and tho bank
building. In all probability this will
bo done. If bo, the latter building will
bo fitted up for a drug storo and n good
stock of drugs put in, with a registered
pharmacist This is something badly
needed in Nemalia.
The Methodist church Sunday night
was crowded full. The rear of the
chinch and the small entry was tilled
with men and bojs standing up. and
many people left because of the crowd,
ed condition and the dllllculty of
getting inside. Ibis seldom wo seen
church in Nemaha so crowded, and
this is probably tho largest crowd that
ever attended a regular preaching
service hero.
There aro good prospects of a little
boom in Nemaha this Hpring. We are
assured of two new general stores
Earle Gilbert and J W. Ritcbeyand
one of our capitalists has said thoro
would certainly bo another drug storo
hero soon. Then there iu a strong
piobablllty of at least three new brick
business houses going up this spring.
With thu new building of Earlo
Gilbert', thi.t will make Nemaha a
good town,
Thoro was a dance at the opera Iioubo
Thursday night of last week, and of
oou i so there was a lot of drinking.
Some fellows act like they could not
uMcnd a danco without getting drunk.,
There is surely something demoralizing
about these affairs or there would not
bo so many evil results. Dances'
drunks and fights seem to go together.
And yob some argue that there Is
nothing wrong about going to a danco
and associating with these drunken,
carousing, blackguarding, lighting j eung
men.
The meetings at thu Methodist
church closed Tuesday night, having
lasted almost four weeks. Hov. G W.
Ayers, the pastor, was assisted by Rev.
E. B. Maxcy of Johnson. Bov.T. F
Ashby and wife of llowo, and two
nights by Rev Geo. I. Wright of
Nebraska City, presiding elder of this
district, There were 35 services hold
at the church and 12 cottage prayer
meetings. Over twenty profossed
conversion and twelve united with tho
church. Others will unite later. Tho
meeting has been a good one in every
way and loaves the church greatly
strengthened.
v. A. R. McCandless. has had R. C.
Morton at work digging a tunnel in
tlie bin if on his farm south of Nemaha
to see what can be found. The tunnel
is six feet high and four feet wide, and
lias been extended over thirty feet into
the hillside. A vein of mineral quart
has been struck that has both load and
zinc ore in it, with sumo other ores
There are also stronger indications of u
thicker vein of coal. The coal that has
been taken out is of excellent quality,
and burns up having onlya whitoash
Asa vein of load ore and a vein of coal
has been struck in Richardson county,
it is altogether probable that just as
good veins will bo found horo. It will
be a great thing for Nemaha if we find
either lead, zinc or coal in paying
quantities. Mr. McCandless is going
to spend some monoy to find out, any
way.

Some time ago County Superintends
out Carriugtou Instituted a spelling
contest Each echool in tho county
had tho first contest, all pupils who so
desired taking part. The best one In
each school then met in districts, ouch
town in tho county being tho center of
it district, and had a second contest.
Tho winners in this contest then mot
at Auburn Jan. 20 for a third contest.
Two hundred and fifty words wero
given out at these contests, Maud
Lawrence, daughter of S. O. Lawrence,
was tho winner in this district, and on
tbo 20th sho tied with Vida Van Camp
of Johnson for first place, both spelling
every word Of thu other contestants
at this time Gladys Redfern missed ouo
word, Alice Ilandby two, Lewis Chard
three, Casslus Kennedy six, and
Blaucho Cook twelve
The contest to decldo the tio was
held at Auburn last Saturday Two
hundred of the most difllcult words,
selected from Crabtreo's Word Book
wore given out. Maud Lawrence wub
again tlie vieloi. Botli girls had
severe headaches mid bo did not make
so good it record as they otherwise
would havo done. Maud missed boven
teen words and Vida Van Camp
twenty-four. Both Maud and Vldit
aro In the tdxth grade which speaks
well for the training in spoiling in
those grades. Maud iu it pupil of G.
Edwin Sanders, toucher of Maplo
Grove school, two miles northwest of
Nemalut.
The prtyo given was a copy of
Webster's International dictionary.
Naturally Maud is very proud of tho
victory. She is now tho champion
speller In the Nemaha county schools.
Now it is said that the recent earths
quuko tilted the earth so wo aro really
about six hundred miles farther bouUi
so -far as our relation to .the bud and
oliiuato Ih concerned than wo wero
previously. Wo remember that a fow
years ago tho same assertion was
made- Since then It has been over 30
degrees below zero, so wo either tilted
back again then or the cold followed us
down. But if both assertions are true
wo are now twelve hundred miles
faither south, and should not havo
much cold weather, but will catch it
in the summer. But we are afraid
these so-called scientists who aro
making these assertions aro something
like tlie weather propheta they do a
whole lot of guessing.
