One minute is all the time necessary to decide from personal experience that One Minute Cough Cure does what its namef implies. F. (J. Fricke Se Co. August Bomhak, one of the solid farmers residing near Manley, is in the city today with his wife, visiting' friends and trading with the live mer chants who advertise in The News. Sweet potatoes for seed. Best varieties in large quantities at $1.65 to $1.75 per barrel. Leave orders early at T. J. Thomas' meat market before stock is gone. J. W. Thomas.

Now spit on your handj and go to work, for prosperity must come to this debt-ridden people as soon as we can stop the flow of money to Europe for European goods that should be made here. Plain and fancy sewing and dress making of all kinds promptly at tended to, and satisfaction guaranteed, at the dressmaking parlors of Miss Anna Critchfi6ld, 807 Pearl street, Plattsmouth. The finest imported wines in the state, and the purest liquors, together with the premium Anheuser-Busch beer, are always obtainable at the "Casino" Plattsmouth's leading saloon, opposite the court house. Remember the leading 5-cent cigais in this market is "Wurl Bros." and the "Cabinet." Otto Wurl, the manufacturer, is building op a great reputation for these goods out in the state as well as at homo. Try them. It is surprising what a "wee bit of a thing" can accomplish. Sick head ache, constipation, dyspepsia, sour stomach, dizziness, are quickly ban ished by De Witt's Little Early Risers. Small Pill.. Best Pill. F. G. Fricke & Co. Don't allow the lungs to be impaired by. the continuous irritation of a cough. It is easier to prevent con sumption than to cure it. One Min uteiCough Cure taken early will ward off any fatal, lung trouble. F. G. Fricke & Co. If you have ever seen a child in the agony of croup, you . can appreciate .ACGIIEATE AMD GLEAM.. the gratitude of the mothers who know that One Minute Cough Cure relieves their little ones as quickly as it is administered. Many homes in this citv are never without it F. G. Fricke & Co. They are so small that the most sensitive persons take them, they are so effective that the most obstinate cases of constipation, headache and torpid liver yield to them. That is why DeWitt's Little Early Risers are known as the famous 'u'.i pills. F. G. Fricke & Co. Many cases of "grippe" have lately been cured by One Minute Cough Cure. This preparation seems espe cially adapted to the cure of this dis ease. It acts quickly thus pre 'ei ting be rious complications and bad effects in which this disease often leaves the patient. F. G. Fricke & Co. Mrs. McDaniels charges her boy aged fifteen years with incorrigibility and general worthlessness. The fa mily live down on Lincoln avenue and there is little doubt but what the boy ought to be sent to the reform school.

Mrs. Kay, the physical culture teacher, will, by invitation, address the Woman's club at the homo of Mrs. Perry Walker this evening. Her topic wili bo physical culture and young ladies coald learn much of per sonal value to themselves by attending. Mrs. Kay will discuss the advantages, and the system as taught by herself. A car of the famous Loupe valley hay, which is said to contain twice the strength of our prairie hay here, has just been received by George Euson. Those who have cows to feed will be agreeably surprised if they will try it. It will be sold from the car during the remainder of this week and after that by the bale at the feed store opposite the postoffice. Ed. Hubbell, who, with his haymar ket, used to furnish racy items for the papers here, is reported to have gone over in Iowa and married another woman without getting a divorce from his first wife, and that he took his second wife to South Omaha. A family row broke out, and Ed is now behind the bars charged with bigmy and kindred crimes. Showed Kindly Appreciation. A few days ago Julius PDneroerg received an ord'v fi-om Superintendent of Motive Power D. Hawksworth of ao B. & M., for eight boxes of cigars to be made from his finest tobacco. Workmen soon turned out the desired quantity, and the next thing was the selection of a special label. Mr. Hawksworth finally took the "Flor de Stevenson," which displays a fine por trait of the noted inventor of the locomotive in the center, while on the left is a picture of the first loco motive and on the right is a picture of the latest product in 'chat line of American genius. Ti.e label was singularly appropriate, as will be noted, the cigars having beeo pre sented by Mr. Hawksworth to the four engineers and four firemen who took the wonderful Maybam train from the Junction to Denver in surprising y fast time. Each box contained a nico rib bon badge with name printed thereon, together with a cordial letter of thanks and congratulations from Mr. Hawksworth for the splendid services rendered. The cigars were the finest made, and no doubt the boys will enjoy them. Elmer Cole of this city was one of the fortunate firemen. It is seldom a chief officer takes so much inteiest in tho pleasure of his men and we can not but think that the fine discipline of the B. & M. force is due in a meas ure to the hearty appreciation which is always shown by this company to its men when ever any thing of mer it is done. Count j Sunday School Convention. All who are interested in the organ ization of the Cass county Sunday school association are invited to meet at the Otterbein church, bix miles southwest of Murray, Thursday, March 18, at 10 a. m. A good program is being prepared for the day and even ing. State Superintendent Rev. F. W. Jones of York will be present. It is hoped that the friends of the Sun day school will be present, and that Cass county will again take her place among the organized counties in the state Sunday school association. A Calico Ball. The Star lodge, D. of H., will give a "Calico" bail at Waterman's hall Wednesday evening, March 10, 1897. Ladies are expected to wear a calico dress and bring a necktie made of the same material. Best music in the city and a good time guaranteed. Insure in the German American. Fred Ebinger, Agent. Can Tax Payers Afford It" (?) The above caption appeared over an article in the last issue of tho Ween ing Water Republican, which is so full of error and gross misstatements with relation to the building of a jail that we can not let it pass unnoticed. In the first place the county treasury contains over $65,000 at the present time, and the sum by July 1st will reach over $100,000, just as it did last year, as the people are p iyir. .- their taxes even better than they did last year. It is not true, that only the general fund could be drawn from, as any man who knows anything about county af fairs must know. There is a fund called the court house bond fund, which is designed to pay interest on the court house bonds. The interest has been paid for this year, (having been paid in January) and there is still $ll,00i left over in this fund, which will be increased as people pay their taxes. There are numerous other funds which could as easily be drawn from. Its rather foolish to say that this money must come from the general fund only, when these other unused funds cau he turned into the general fund any time by resolution of the board so that the first claim, if true would have no weight. Here.is a fair sample of the Republican's logic: . "Jf our county was in such a good financial condition as they would have us believe, it would not be necessary for the county commissioners to ad vertise that the property that was sev eral years in arrears for taxes would be sold, and many who have been un able the past few years to piy are now losing their property. But this is be ing done and many good citizens in the county are making an extra ef fort to square up." The idea that the commissioners are collecting delinquent taxes be cause the treasury is bankrupt is a new one. We supposed the boaid was only doing1 its duty, and was not plac ing a premium on dead-beats by al lowing them to get along without pay ing any taxes, while the industrious paid for the running of county busi ness. The delinquents are beiug made to pay, but there are people who migbt draw a salary of $4,000 per year and yet bo too profligate to pay taxes until forced to do so by distress war rant or sale of property. Should such men be allowed to go tax free while others bear the burdens ? Most people would say net. The flings at the sheriff are entirely uncalled for, as anyone who would in vestigata for a moment would know. The office has never been more care fully managed, and jail deliveries have not been more frequent than heretofore, though the jail its self is settling and becomiug more worthless as the days go by. A fine saw could be gotten into the wonderful cage at any hour in the day or night from the outside without the officers knowing anything about it, and us to searching prisoners; every man is thoroughly searched for the personal safety of the jailor if for no other reason. Our brother editor is mak ing a strained effort to arriy the county against this city, that's all there is in the anti jail sentiment promulged with no much vigor by our neighbor As a matter of fact the new jail is of no more interest to this town than to any other part of the county except that the utter worthlessness of the old one is better known here. It makes no difference to our paopTe whether we have a jail with a man sard roof or one 10x12 just so it holds the criminals placed therein for aafe keeping. If a man committed a mur der or burglary in Tipton precinct and after great expense he was caught, the ptop'e there wcu'd have more interest in his punishment than we would havo. The erection of a new jail out of funds already available i3 purely a business matter and no old county seat feeling can be injected into it. We have the money laying idle now: the jail is badly nee led at tbia time; labor and material will never be cheaper than now; then why not er ect a jail ' that would be a credit to the county before the old one falls down. We have not met a farmer conversant with the facts who did not favor the proposition. The Cass County Dairy. Everything clean fresh and pure. Milk, cream or buttermilk delivered at your door every day. R. F. Dean, Prop. You wili find a full line of Mrs Crawford's pickles at Zuckweiler & Lutz's. There are none nicer.

Bert Palmeter and Gus Hyers had a fistic encounter last Monday during work hours at the shops and as a re sult the boys are laying off the bal auce of the week, not because of in juries sustained in the melee, but be cj.uso of un order of the foreman ' to that effect. Gus says he is not draw ing on the relief, but that he feels re lieved just the sumo. Chas. Hemple, who recently Bold his coal and lumber business to Cotner parlies, has resumed his old position as foreman of the boiler shops. Ed. Schulof got a piece of irou or steel in his eye last Tuesday and is laid up for a few days. Havelock seems to be a corn center. P. J.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen erally needed when the languid, ex hausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of. this medicine has often abated long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and free ing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con stipation, Dizziness, yield to Electric Bitters. 50c and $1 per bottle at F. G. Fricke's drug store. 1 Horses For Pasture. Splendid pasturage for 300 head of horses in the Loupe valley can be ob tained by seeing George Edson. This is a good opportunity to get your horses and colts through the summer very cheap. The stock will be taken from here and returned, and the en tire cost for the season is only $3 per head. Address Geo. Edson, Platts mouth, or leave word at W. D. Jones' livery barn. Deafness Cannot Be Cared. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is onl jr one way to cureDeafness. and that is by constitutio nal remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and un less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sufaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu lars, free. F.J. CHENEY & Co.. Toledo.
