7 wenlteth Annual Old Settlers Picnic, Nemaha, IN e for. Wednesday, ugust 3, 1908
Our attention has been called
to the fact' that in our report of
the high water two weeks ago
we had the water considerably
higher on the Howe farm tjian it
really was. The article said it
was about half way up the lower
sash of the windows of the house
when in fact it was only about a
foot deep. We published it as it
was given to us.
Hon. II. R. Howe received a
telegram Saturday announcing
the death of his grandfather,
Albert C. Howe, Princetown,
Mass. He was in his ninety
second year. He is survived by
his wife and two sons, Major
Church Howe, American consul,
Manchester, England, and Clem
ent G. Howe of Superior, Nebr.
Grandpa Howe was a resident of
this county back in the sixties.

The Nemaha County Old Set
tlers' association will hold its an
nual picnic and reunion at Nema
ha City on Aug. 5. The editor of
the Independent Farmer landed
in Nemaha county forty-three
years ago last June and could un
fold a few fish stories in the line
of ancient hiit ry that would
help to swell old Nemaha's arch
ives. However, the resident old
ettlers are still pretty strong in
numbers and long on talk regard
ing the early-day trials and
triumphs, and we cheerfully leave
the task to them of keeping the
record straight as to the pioneer
doings of the banner county of
Nebraska. T. J. Hitte in Ne
braska Independent Farmer.
Come down, Tom, and meet
your boyhood friends and talk
ver early days. It will do you
good.
JDie Special School Meeting
In pursuance of the call, a
pecial meeting of the voters of
the Nemaha school district was
held at the school house Tuesday
night to vote on the question of
reconsidering the vote taken at
the annual meeting instructing
the school board to hire a fourth
teacher.
There was considerable discus
tion of the question, various rea-
tons for and against the proposi
tion being advanced.
When the vote was taken there
were 13 votes in favor of the
motion to reconsider and 31 votes
gainst it, so the fourth teacher
will be added.
The school board will meet
next Monday night to hire this
teacher.
Let peace and harmony pre
ail.
Notice to Teachers
Examinations for teachers' cer
tificates will be held July 17, 18
and July 31 and August 1. No
other examinations in August.

If one feels dull and spiritless, in the
pring or early Bummer, they call it
"Spring Fever." But there is no fever
usually. It is the af tec effects of our
winter habits. The nerves are mostly
at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave
b languid, lifeless, and without spirit
or ambition. A few doses of Dr. Shoop's
Restorative will absolutely and quickly
change all of these depressing symp
toms. The Restorative of course won't
bring you back to full health in a day
r two, but it will do enough in 48
hours to satisfy you that tho remedy is
reaching that 'tired Bpot. ' ' Druggists
everywhere are adviBing its use as a
splendid and prompt general tonic. It
gives more vim and more spirit to the
spoonful than any other known norve
or constitutional tonic. It sharpens a
failing appetite, aids digestion, frees
luggish livers and kidneys, and brings
Ufa. atrenorth and ambitiou. Test
it a fow days and be convinced. Dr.
W. W. Keeling.
Death of William H. Ogg
William II. Ogg died at his
home in Aspinwall precinct Sat
urday, July 18, 1008, aged 66
years, 10 month and 23 days.
Mr. Ogg was a quiet, unassum
ing man, a good husband and
father, and a good citizen. For
many months he has been a great
ufferer from a cancer on his
face. He was in a hospital in
Joe for some time and received
the best of medical attention, but
nothing could be done to stop the
ravages of the dread disease.
The funeral services, conduct
ed by Rev. J. W. Sapp, were held
Sunday afternoon, and the body
laid at rest in the Prairie Union
cemetery.
William H. Ogg was born at
Perry, Ohio, Sept. 25, 1841. He
was united in marriage to Mary
E. Wolfe Feb. 15, 1877, at Smith
Center, Kansas. To this union
were born thirteen children, eight
girls and five boys. One little
girl died in infancy. The others
are living and were all present at
the funeral of their father. At
the age of 18 years, on August
12, 1862, Mr. Ogg enlisted in the
army to assist in putting down
the rebellion, joining Co. I, 31st
Iowa. He was discharged at
Benton Barracks, Mo., June 6,
1863, on account of disability
incurred while in service.
Mr. Ogg united with the Chris
tian church about 14 years ago.
He leaves a wife, one sister, a
half brother and twelve children
to mourn the loss of a kind and
loving husband, brother and
father.
'Asleep in Jesus; blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep.
A calm anc undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes."
We desire to express our heart
felt thanks for the kindness
shown us during the sickness
and' death of our beloved hus
band and father.
Mrs. William H. Ogg
and children.

Rosefield Fruit Farm
Last Friday afternoon F. E.
Hoover took us out to his fruit
farm, which he has named the
Rosefield Fruit Farm. He has
fifteen acres of peach trees and
not a tree is missing except a few
that have died this year. He is
now shipping large quantities of
Triumph peaches. The next va
riety to ripen will be Russell No.
1, a fine freestone. He has the
Champion, Elberta, Crosby, Hill's
Chili and Wager, ripening in the
order named and all splendid
peaches. His trees are mostly
seven years old, are thrifty and
in splendid shape. They are
well filled with fine fruit. He
kept them top pruned for the
first four years, making them
spread out and grow bushy. The
orchard has been cultivated until
this year.
Three tents have been put up
in the orchard. One is used for
cooking and sleeping in, as the
picking and packing force stay
out on the farm. The present
force consists of Pat Hoover, the
junior member of the firm of F.
E. Hoover & Son, and Eddie
Maxwell, with Miss Mabel Hoo
ver as cook, the latter staying
at night with Mrs. Norman Mead,
living on the farm. F. E. Hoo
ver makes himself generally use
ful in overseeing the work, rust
ling orders, helping pack, bring
ing fruit to market, etc. One of
the other tents is used for sorting
and packing 'the fruit and the
other one for storing baskets,
etc.
Besides the peach orchard of
about 1400 trees chere is a pear
orchard and a lot of plum and
cherry trees, grapes, raspberries,
blackberries, etc. All are filled
with fruit this year.
Mr. Hoover is justly proud of
his fruit farm. It is in splendid
condition and will bring him in
good returns this year for the
care he has taken of it in the
past.
Old Settlers Picnic at Nemaha
The Nemaha County Old Set
tlers' association will hold the

picnic in the beautiful park at
Nemaha on Wednesday, August
5. Senator E. J. Burkett and
Hon. G. W. Berge of Lincoln will
make addresses. The First Reg
imental band of Hiawatha, Kan
sas, one of the very best bands j
in the west, has been engaged
and will give a concert at night.
A concert will also be given im
mediately after dinner. A good
male quartet has been engaged.
Miss Mae Jones, a fine elocution
ist, will assist in entertaining the
people. The Campanella ball

fastest team that ever came out
of Omaha, and the Atchison,
Kansas, team, the fastest team
in that part of the state, will play
two games, one in the forenoon

always have a good time at these
old settlers picnics and this
promises to be the best of all.

Women as Well as Men Are Made
Miserable by Kidney and
Bladder Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lcsscuBnntbition; beauty,
vigor and cheerful
ness soon disappear
when the kidneys are
out of order or dis
eased. Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom

weak kidneys. If theP

the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting,
depend upon it, the cause of the diffi
culty is kidney trouble, aud the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these importantorgaus. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys aud bladder and not to
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men arc made miser
able with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
