His First Wages
W. T, Russoll, a Pioneer, Worked Hnrd
All Day For n Ten Cent Piece
In an Early Day
Last Friday, February 8th, was
the fifty-third anniversary of W.
T. Russell's arrival in Nemaha
county.
He is one of the oldest and
most highly respected pioneers
in the county and the circum
stances connected with his arrival
on Nebraska soil are still fresh
in his memory.
Mr. Russell was the son of
Houston Russell. The latter was
one of the pioneers of Indiana
and the family made the trip
overland from that state in an ox
wagon. It was on this trip that
Mr. Russell made the first money
he ever earned in his life. One
of the oxen had died and the
family were compelled to halt
until another animal could be
provided.
During the halt he worked all
one day for a farmer, dropping
corn with a hoe, and the reward
for his day's labor was the mu
nificient sum of ten cents. He
treasured the silver piece as
though it were a great fortune
and one day when they were
fording a river where the water
was swift and waist deep he kept
his hand closed over the money
in his pocket, caring more for its
safety than he did for his own.
The family located in Missouri,
locating close to Rockport, in
Atchison county, where they re
mained until 1854. They crossed
the river on the ice and their
goods were transported in an ox
cart.
They located on the old Mart
May quarter section near Nemaha
and built a log house. There
was not a nail in the structure
everything being held together
by wooden pegs. Even the
hinges were of wood. . The old
broad axe used in building this
cabin, and which was also used
in constructing Uncle Hardy Cul
well's house near Nemaha, is
still in possession of the family
being in the care of the son, W.
S. Russell.
Houston Russell was the father
of four children, Hugh Russell,
who has been a resident Jof Cali
fornia for the past forty-seven
years, Mrs. Elizabeth Fuller, of
Nemaha, W. T. Russell, of the
Nemaha neighborhood, and Nate
Russell, deceased.
W. T. Russell, in spite of his
advanced years, is still a fine
specimen of manhood. He is of (
fine figure and a good citizen in ,
every way. He takes an ardent
interest in public affairs and is a
man who is well posted on cur
rent topics. Auburn Republican.
It's a pleasure to tell our readertt
.about a Cough Cure like Dr. Shoop's.
For years Dr. Shoop has fought ag?.inst
the use of Opium, Chloroform, or other
unsafe ingredients commonly found in
Cough remedies. Dr. Shoop, it seems,
has welcomed the Pure Food and Drug
Law recently enacted, for he has
worked along similar lines many years.
For .nearly 20 years Dr. Shoop's Cough I
Cure containers have had a warning '
printed on them, against Opium and
other narcotie poisons. lie has thus
made it possible for mothers td protect
their children by simply insisting on
having Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. Sold
by all dealers. . ,
Neighbors Cot Fooled
"J was literally coughing myself to
death, and had become too weak to
leave my bed; and neighbors predicted
that I would nover leave it alive; but
they got fooled, for thanks be to God, I
was induced to try Dr. King'sTew Dis
covery. It to6k just four one dollar
bottles to completely cure the cough
' and restore me to go6d sound health,"

George Sanders of Brownville
was in the city Thursday and he
brought in with him a number of
specimens of apples raised in his
orchard, which show the commer
cial possibilities as well as the
keeping qualities of apples raised
in this county.
The specimens are types of the
l Jonathan, Gano, Winesap, Black
i Twig, Missouri Pippin and Vir
ginia Beauty varieties. All are
of good shape, fine color, excel
lent flavor and without a blemish.
I The Jonathons and Winesaps
( were picked off the ground in the
orchard in December and all were
i stored in an open cave up to the
first of this week. They came
from an orchard which had not
been sprayed and when all these
I facts are taken into account one
can readily see that the commer
cial possibilities of the apples of
this county are almost without
limit.
The apples were displayed in
one of the windows of this office
and the exhibit attracted consid
erable attention. Republican.
The Abuse of Medicine in the Nursery
The only medicine that a
mother should give on her own
responsibility is castor oil, says
Emelyn L. Coolidge, M. D. If
mothers and even many physi
cians would learn that the little
ailments of babies and young
children, may be successfully
treated by proper changes in the
food and a few external applica
tions, the mortality among in
fants would be greatly reduced.
The digestive organs of young
children are very delicate and
when once upset by medicine it
is difficult to set them right
again.
All sick babies must of course
have the benefit of a reliable
physician's advice, and the
sooner one is called the better
but there are now, and probably
always will be, many mothers so
situated that they cannot secure
a good doctor for little nursery
ailments, and when such is the
case I am sure they will not
regret trying the methods advised
above in place of relying upon
their own limited experience, or
dosing with remedies suggested
by well-meaning but misguided
friends. The Delineator for

clay. Thousands of standard pieces of
music have been recorded and about 25
new ones come out each month thus
giving the best in music and at a very
low price. We carry the entire list of
