The following appeared in yester day's Lincoln News: "There are times when even a United States marshal wishes some one else had his job. Mr. Matthews can tell you about it. Judge Hunger this morning decreed that an other is entitled to tho home of Mr. Hans Ilendrikson and wif an aged German couple living in Cass county, and Marshal Matthews is now con fronted with the duty of enforcing the court's decree. "Mr. Ifendriksen is acombative man. Especially now, when he feels that he is the victim of the machinations of designing lawyers, county officials, ab stracters, etc. Once before tho old gentleman chased officials from his farm, and it isn't improbable that ho will have just as much objection to Mr. Matthews' features. The decree was in the Buit brought against Hend riksen by Brainard Kellog. It was called in federal court this morning. Neither the defendant nor his attor ney was present, so nothing else could bo done. Tho order taking away his home was entered up." Question Answered. Yes, August Flower still has the lar gest sale of any medicine in the civi lized world. Your mothers' and grandmothers' never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc.- They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermen tation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the ner vous and organic action af the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious tho matter with you. Get Green's Prize Almanac. Matt Will Support McKinley.

HOLLOWAY One of I'latlsiuonth's Host l'romlnent Women, II rr sickness and tier Core. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Oct. 11, 1900. Prof. C. E. Elair Dear Sir: For the benefit of others who may be suffering as I did, I wish to make this statement telling what you accomplished in my behalf by Magnetic treatment. In January. 18'J9. svmotoms of sciatic rheumatism 6et up in my left lower limb,and it was not long until a severe case of rheumatism had developed, effecting my whole left limb and back. My suffering was certainly beyond any language to describe, indeed at times death would have been preferable to my intense suffering. The pains were so severe I could find no rest day or oight. In September, 1S!)9, I was able to walk a little by the aid of c utches, but I soon had to give them up to take to my bed. I had been treated by some of our best local physicians, I had taken treatment from specialists at Denver, Colo., and Ottumwa, la., but none of them could cure or relieve me. I gradually grew worse, until I became partially paralyzed and so badly drawn to one side that I could not stand erect. When I was reduced to a helpless and as my friends thought, a hopeless invalid, my family and others persuaded me to try your treat ment, about which I was at that time quite skeptical, but now I can say 1 bless the day I first began your treat ment, as one year has almost passed since l took my last treatment, ana l can sny I am well and you cured me, in fact I feel better than I have for many years. I will also add that during tho entire treatment I did cot take a single dese of medicine of atv kind whatevor. ' I heartily commend your troatmenl to all who suffer as 1 did. Most heartily thanking you for the great good done me, I am respectfully, Mrs. S. P. Hollow ay. Mrs. nolloway has recently moved to Lead, S. D.,and will gladly answer any letters in regard to her sickness and cure. Other testimonials on file at our office. Osteopathic and Magnetic treatment, as the case requires. Puof. C. E.

Fete Cole Reported to Have Been hnot Down By James Walker Little Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Moore Mas m Remarkable Experience With a Grain of Corn. From Thursday's Daily. Meagre details of a tragedy which occurred near Clarkson, Neb., yester day and which resulted in the death of Pste Cole, a former Plattsmouth man, reached this city today. So far as could be learned. Cole became in volved in a quarrel with a policeman named James Walker, and during the altercation was shot by the latter. Cole lived in Pattsmouth for some time, having worked for Sam Hender eon and later was employed at the B. & M. shops. .Tuesday afternoon he left town and the news of his death to day is the first heard from him since his departure. The unfortunate young man was about twenty-five years of age, well built and had the distinction of being quite an athlete. He was a cousin of Bert Balden, and, it is said, was en gaged to be married to a young woman in this city. CHILD HAS A NARROW ESCAPE. tiraln of Corn Lodges In Her Longs, CauMlng Strangulation. Vena, the five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Moore, had a rather remarkable experience today. About three weoks ago tho little girl got a grain of corn lodged in her wind pipe, and despite tho efforts of the child and her parents to remove it. the obstruction gradually worked downward to the lungs. Various phy sicians were consulted, and, while sev eral of them gave credence to the story that she had swallowed a grain of corn, a majority of them were inclined to misbelieve it. Frequently the child would suffer strangling spells, and cou'd feel the obstruction move up ward in her throat. About 11 o'clock this morning she was siezed with an unusually 6evere coughing and strang ling spell, and for several hours her lifo hung upon a very slender thread. Everything which loving hands could do was done for her. apparently in vain, when suddenly she coughed up the grain of corn she had swallowed three weeks ago. Tho little girl is getting along nicely, and it is needless to say that tho parents are thankful beyond the expression of words for the restoration of their child. ENI OF CELEIHtATEI CASE Jmlge Haxter of Hlalr Decides Against .Nebraska Halt Association. Nebraska farmers nee d not pay as sessments levied upon them by the Grain Growers' Mutual Hail associa tion, says the Omaha News. Judge Baxter has so decided in the district court at Blair, and unless that ruling should be overthrown by the supreme court, it extends to all the farmers in Nebraska who are affiliated with tjhe hail association. Judge Bax ter's decision was rendered in a suit against several Washington county farmers, which was brought by the offi cers of the association to compel the payment of assessment. It was a test case. While there has within the last year been a vast amount of litigation in volving tho Grain Growers' Mutual Hail association, this is the first decision that has been ren dered by the district court as to the liabilities of the farmers for as sessments. It is, therefore of wide spread interest, because the hail asso ciation has members in nearly every county in tho state, and at one time its membership was estimated at about 60,000 farmers. In each county where the association has done business there have been misunderstandings about as sessments, and tho affairs of the asso ciation have been more or less involved in controversy throughout the state. The chief pointof contention has been that the assessments were too high and that they came with startling fre quency. It has been charged that the oflicors of tho concern were living like railway magnates from the salaries and perquisites derived by reason of their position?, and a few months ago several arrests were made in Omaha. About the first of the year there was an abrupt change in the official roster. the old officers being deposed. That, of course, added to the mass of tangled litigation. The question of validity of assess ments has been raised in Douglas county, where the membership is par ticularly strong, and the Washington county decision settles the dispute, un less tho ease is taken to the supreme. court and there overruled. No steps h we yet been taken toward appeal, but it is undor6tood that such action is contemplated. A Oalet Wedding. The marriage of Miss Edna Freece and L. V.

The whole system feels the effect of this acid poison ; and not until the blood has been purified and brought back to a healthy coudit.ou will the aches and pains cease. Mrs. James Kell, of 707 Ninth street, N. E-, Washington, D. C. writes as follows: "A few months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheuma tism in its wont form. The pain was so intense that I pecatne completely pros trated. The attack was an unusually severe one, and my condition was regard ed as being very danger ous. I was attended by one of the most able doc tors in Washington, who is also a member of the fac ulty of a leading medical college here, lie told me to continue his prescrip tions and I would get well.
