Dr. VV. W. Frazicr has bought
Curt Brown's span of spotted
ponies.
Mrs. John Morrison is visiting
her sister, Mrs. W. H. Hoover.
She makes her home part of the
tiuie in .California and part of
time in Oklahoma. She came
here from Joplin, Mo., where
she has been visiting relatives.
Jas. A. Stephenson is certain
ly a favorite with the weather
bureau. Last Saturday a hard
rain fell on the eastern portion
of his 160 acre farm, which he
has in corn, and not a bit fell on
the west part of the same quar
ter section, where his wheat was
in shock.

Some one got into Uncle Billy
Rossell's onion patch northeast
of town last week and stole a lot
of onions. It is certainly a migh
ty mean man that will steal any
thing raised by the hard labor of
a man over 88 years old. It cer
tainly would not bo very healthy
for him if he was caught.
No Sunday Base Ball Playing.
Notice is hereby given that
there must be no more base ball
playing on Sunday on the premi
ses belonging to the W. H. Hoo
ver estate. The grounds are free
for the game on any other day
until further notice.
Mrs. W. H. Hoover.
Chas. Mitz of Brownville was
in Nemaha Tuesday and had
some bills printed advertising a
sale of his household goods. Mr.
and Mrs. Mitz, who have been
living in Brownville for over
forty years, will move to Beat
rice the last of next month, to
be near their daughter. They
will be greatly missed in Brown
ville.
D. F. Venrick of DeWitt was
in Nemaha between trains Satur
day afternoon, going on to Ver
don on train 122 to visit his new
grandson, . Master Paul Venrick
Sanders, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Will F. Sanders. He came back
on train 121 Monday morning,
taking train 97 for DeWitt. Mrs.
Venrick, who went to Verdon
last week, returned with him.
Jas. A. Shiveley is making ar
rangements to move to Nemaha
in two or three weeks. His
health has been poor since an at
tack of appendicitus two or three
years ago and recently has been
getting worse. The doctors tell
him he will have to quit hard
work, so he is going to move to
town. He owns two houses here
and expects to enlarge and re
pair both. He may go to Colo
rado for awhile this fall.
A New Postmaster at St. Deroin
Early last spring Mrs. Anna
Filmer sent in her resignation as
postmaster of St. Deroin. (The
government doesn't recognize
any such office as postmistress.)
The resignation has finally been
accepted and Mrs. Carrie Luns
ford appointed as her successor.
As the office only pays about $18
to $20 a vear there was not a
i
verv active scramble for the
place.
An Enterprising Pullet
Mrs. W. W. Seid has a pullet
that is certainly doing her part
toward keeping the people sup
plied with chickens. The pullet
was hatched last December. She
began laying in the spring, finally
sfpnlino- her nest out. Last
month, when only six months
old, sha came off with a brood of
seven or eight chickens. She
was not unduly puffed up, acting
as if she thought she was merely
doing her duty.
A Bearing Fig Tree in Nemaha
Mrs. W. W. Seid has quite a
curiosity fdr this section. It is a
fig tree that has thirteen good
sized figs on it, and more are set
ting on. The fig tree does not
blossom, but the little figs start
out about like the leaves. Mrs.
Seid got the tree or shrub from
her sister living in Iowa, when
she was visiting there last fall,
and at that time ate a ripe fig
and also a ripe orange raised by
her sister. The fig tree becomes
dormant in the fall, the leaves
dropping off, and the shrub hav
ing the appearance of dead wood.
It is then put away in the cellar
until springy
The school board met Monday
night, pursuant to adjournment.
A number of applications for as
sistant principal were read. Miss
Lucy Bo wen was elected. She
is a graduate of the Peru Nor
mal and has had ten years expe
rience as a teacher. The board
consider the district fortunate in
securing so capable a teacher as
she is, judging from her recom
mendations, fane will receive
$50.00 per month.
It was decided to partition off
part of the long room for a recit
ation room, having the pupils of
the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth,
tenth, and eleventh grades
seated in the main part of the
room. Miss Bowen will have the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades,
and will hear the recitations in
the recitation room.
W. W. Liebhart was hired as
janitor at a salary of $25.00 per
month.
Miss Lucy Bowen came down
from Peru Thursday to sign up
the contract as assistant princi-
pal of our school and attend to
other matters connected there-.

Nemaha county the past week
has been visited by two apple
buying experts, one from Chi
cago and one from St. Joseph.
After a thorough examination
of the larger apple orchards of
that county, they declared that
there was about half a crop of
apples on the trees, of which
about thirty per cent would be
prime merchantable fruit. The
prospect for shipping apples from
Nebraska orchards to the apple
centers of the country was con
sidered by them very poor, the
Nebraska home demand being
enough to absorb all the market
able crop. State Journal.
Frank Titus and C. V. Glenn
went out to F. E. Hoover's orch
ard Sunday forenoon and ate
peaches, plums and blackberries
most of the day. At noon Fred
took them over to the home of
his daughter, Mrs. C. P. Thomp
son, for dinner. Frank Titus has
oeen leeiing narci at bred ever
since because they were not
warned beforehand of what a
good dinner they were going to
have, as he says they had filled
up on fruit until they couldn't
begin to do justice to the dinner,
which was one of the very best
he ever sat down to. But Fred
says the fried chicken and other
good things disappeared about
like they do before a gang of
hungry threshers, so he thinks it
was a good plan to fill them up
on fruit first.

congressman bollard had a
hard fight for his first nomina

was a strong effort made by the
politicians to defeat him for a re
nomination. But this year he
will have no opposition for the

"Health Coffee" is really the closest
cofFce imitation ever yet produced. This
clever cofFee substitute was recently
produced by Dr. Shoop of Racine, Wis.
Not a grain of real coffee in it either
Dr. Shoop's Health Coffee is made
from pure toasted grains, with malt
nuts, etc. Really it would fool an ex
pertwho might drink it for coffee.
No 20 or 30 minutes tedious boiling.
Made in a minute" says the doctor.

To stop any pain, anywhere in 20
minutes, simply take just one of Dr.
Shoop's Pink Pain Tablets. Pain means
congestion blood pressure that is all.
Dr. Shoop's Headache or Pink Pain
Tablets will quickly coax blood pres
sure away from pain centers. After
that, pain is gone. Headache, neural
gia, painful periods with women, etc.
get instant help. 20 tablets 25c. Sold
by Dr. W. W. Keeling.
If one feels dull and spiritless, in the
spring or early summer, they call it
"Spring Fever. " But there is no fever
usually. It is the af tor effects of our
winter habits. The nerves are mostly
at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave
us 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
or two, but it will do enough in 48
hours to satisfy you that the remedy is
reaching that "tired spot." Druggists
everywhere are advising its use as a
splendid and prompt general tonic. It
gives more vim and more spirit to the
spoonful than any other known nerve
or constitutional tonic. It sharpens a
failing appetite, aids digestion, frees
sluggish liver3 and kidneys, and brings
new life, strength and ambitiou. Test
it a few days and be convinced. Dr.
W. W. Keeling.

the result of kid

kidney trouble is
allowed tondvnnce
the kidney-poison-
m.TiA. uiuuti win at
tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects innbillty to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up ninny times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized, i
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distrcssitig cases. I
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have n
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about itf
both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Uinglmmtou, N Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, Dr. Kibuor's Swamp-Root, and the
address, JUnghamtou, N. Y., ou every
