The Best Morning I'aper in the State in
Connection With "The News."
Sinco the new time card has gone
into effect on the Burlington the Statu
Journal arrives in Plattsmouth at 7:17
in the morning and is delivered be
tween 7 and 8 o'clock. This is the
best newspaper in Nebraska for state
and general news and ia furnished in
connection with Tins Evening News
for 20 cents a week. The early arrival
of The Journal makes it the more de
sirable, as it gives patrons an oppor
tunity to secure the news before the
busy hours of the day. The EVENING
News gives all the local news of the
city and county, which makes a strong
combination. The low price of 20
cents a wek pays for the two papers.
AS TUEY COMH AN t UO.

Name of U.-oi ge Miller Itern Klllcil
In That Towu Krcvutly and no Kacb Per
on i Known to the Pollre Jnrj Dln

Billy Miller teleKraphed to the
authoiiti at Louisville, Kv.. in re
gard to the reported deith of his son
George, and at noon today received an
answer from the sheriff staling that
no one by the name of G ;orga Miller
haJ bjen killed in Lmisville recently.
Just how such a statement could get
into the Associated press reports is
not known, as it was evidently a fake.
It is now learned that all Mr. Miller
know about the affair was gleaned
from aA item cut from the telegraphic
columns of a newspaper and sent from
Lincoln.
The friends of the family will be
glad to learn that the reported death
of the boy was untrue.

WEEPINO WATER NOTES.
From the Republican.
Will Torrence and wife left for Cen
tral America last week, where they go
as missionaries. This young couple
are very devout workers in the cause,
and have given their lives for the pur
pose of winning souls to Christ.
A. L. Timblin and family moved to
Nebraska City last week, notwith
standing the winter weather, and we
hear that they are cosily settled in
their new home. While we, of Weep
ing Watar, regret their departure we
hope that they will prosper abundantly
and be happy with their new surround
ings. Gary Treat left at this offic a freak
from one of his Ben Davis apple trees.
A great many have examined it and
they all say they never saw anything
like it before. It is a genuine pair of
twins so thoroughly united with one
peel that it is hard to tell where one
begins or the other ends Thej ar
attached to the tree by one etem but
there are two blossoms. It, or they,
as you please to call it, is a fair s-ized
aDple.

the most fastidious dressers in the
country.
We haven't space here to enu
merate its many points of excellence,
but if you'll come in, we'll gladly
show them to you. A glance in our
east window will give you an idea of
what we can show in fancy patterns.
We have all the Novelties -pleated
front, full dress bosoms, short
bosoms, and a new thing in a coat
shirt open all the way down.
