.1 THE SE311-WEEKLY NEWS-UEKALD, MOXDAY DECEMBER t-'S, 1908 CHIEF NATIONAL RANGE Although this range may have n exterior appearance resemb ling the Ranges exhibited in other stores ia the city, and therefore does not appeal to you, as a sub ject of special attraction. We assure you that it is decidedlv different from ail others in construction, containing those particular features which make it the best Range ever offered to the user. The firebox is so constructed that the heat ffU radiate into the oven at the same moment a fire is started. Consequently, soon as the fire has at tained the necessary 250 degrees of best, the oven also will register the same temperature; therefore, it is ready to bake. The results of this direct action will have a telling effect on the coal pile, saving nearly half the fuel used in ordinary stoves. The fire back lining is guaranteed for 5 years use. The front section of the top can be suspended, making a convenient place for broiling or toasting. A special cover or lid on top is arranged for cooking oat meal, millc,rice. etc., without fear of scorch ing. The body is made up of three dintinct walls, which retain all heat into the stove. If you will call at my store and examine this Range, you will admit th?re is no other to equl it at prices that will meet your approval. I have some special bargains in express wagons, childs and Misses Rockers, bookcases, E). P. JACKSON PEARLMAN'S OLD STAND MRS.

PIattsmr4h, Ketrcslfa U1AIU IAMW V .-i Judge O'Day 's Court at Nehawka Seems to be Non Persona Grata, Nicht Wahr? The first division of the Nehawka Justice shop, which is presided over by the editor when any presiding is done, was cast in gloom and very much dis appointed, when the cause entitled Plybon and Cambell vs. William Dunn came up for hearing. The summons had been issued and served "in due and ancient form," the subpoenas served, the court had resur rected his dignity from cold storage where it had been sleeping for years, the scales of justice had been polished and the day and hour had arrived, the populace was on the tiptoe of expec tancy, the court was ready, and we will admit that there was a slight tremor in our voice as we welcomed Attorney C. E. Tefft in anticipation of 4 'a day in court." Mr. Tefft smiled and said, "If your honor please I hold in my hand an affidavit for a change of venue, al leging bias, both on the part of this honorable court, and also on the part of Judge Foster, of Union." Imagine our disappointment. The sun hid its face in the legal horizon and re fused to shine for us, and we reluct antly very reluctantly remarked, "seeing that you have the court circum vented there is only one thing to do, and that is to make the transfer," but it was very evident that our words lacked in that elegance and grace that should always accompany voluntary compliance. As it is Judge Barnes who has been chosen as the judicial luminary before whom the . cause will be tried, the papers marked 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 have been duly certified to, and are in his posession. We are sorry Attorney Tefft thus lost a chance to make himself famous as a trial lawyer, and thBt Col. Graves will not be compelled to address us, "If your honor ploase." The amount claimed was $75, and the dispute arose over the measurement of a piece of ground which the plaintiffs had grubbed "for the defendant at his request." It will be a hotly contested case. And here the tears of disappointment make it impossible to proceed, the clouds grow dense, and we ring off. Nehawka Register. This is the second time Brother O'Day has been "stung." The first time oc curred about two months ago when a lawyer from Avoca filed an affidavit before Judge M. Archer demanding a change of venue and set out that Judge O. Tefft of Avoca was the only justice in the county before whom his client could hope for justice. Cheer up. Judge O'Day. Every cloud hath a silver lin ing. Remember you are saved the "cussing" which one side or the other had been sure to deliver on the render ing of your choicest brand of justice. IS YERY ANNOYING Dr. Jacob F, Brendel and Miss! Margaret L. Jameson at Weeping Water. The Weeping Water correspondent to the State Journal rives the follow ing auuuia ui luuimgc ui iwu ui Cass county's popular young people which occurred at the Methodist church at Weeping Water last Wednesday.

BORKETT'S SPEECH Senior Senator from Nebraska Holds Attention of Upper House for Hours. Special to the News-Herald. Senator Burkett delivered a two hours speech in the senate last Thursday upon the advisability of postal savings banks. His speech drew considerable fire from those opposing the proposition, but the senator maintained his position well in the wordy combats with other senators. The senator insisted that republicans were pledged to the people to enact the law, and that they ought not to juggle ; with the people's confidence by failing to pass the bill. He said that he had long been persuaded of the correctness of the idea and urged it as demanded by the emergencies of these times. He had not proceeded far when he was in terrupted by a senator as to its con stitutionality. Senator Burket replied that the postoffice department was al ready doing a money order business ar.d charging exchange; it was carrying freight and doing a messenger business; that it had subsidized railroads and steamship lines, and surely this was no further from governmental function than any of those were. That they were all for the good of the people and that if the constitution could include those services he had no fear for its in cluding this service. He also pointed out that every time any legislation was contemplated to have the government do something for the people that it was met first with doubt and fear of constitutionality, and second with the criticism that was visionary and social istic. He illustrated this point by call ing attention to the meet inspection law, the pure food law, the railroad rate bill and many others. He pointed out that the general idea of most bank ing systems that had been proposed was for the uses of business. The con trolling idea in each seemed to hz to The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which lias been In use for over 30 years, lias borno tho signature of and lia boen mauo unuer ui i.t sonail supervision since Its lufcim-y.

Any itchiness of tho skin is annoying Little danger in itching skin diseases. But they make you miserable. Doan's Ointment is a never-failing cure. For Piles, Eczema, all itching troubles, Flattsmouth citizens endorse it. Mrs. Joseph Warga, , of 1400 Main street, Plattsmouth, Nebr., says: "Ex perience has taught our family the value of Doan's Ointment. My mother was troubled for a good many years with a skin irritation on one of her feet. Despite the fact that she tried remedies of various kinds no relief was obtained until she usd Doan's Oint ment which by chance she learned about and procured at Gering & Co.'s drug store. This preparation not only . ban ished the trouble at the time but ef- fected a permanent and absolute cure Josh Wise say, "Some men nnecr at women 'a shopping but when women shop they iJon't have to cat clove to dihguis; what they've been buying."

The senator said that guarantee ef bank deposits would not meet the situ ation because it failed to recognize any difference between the depositors. It puts side by side the man who deposits his personal note, the man who deposits money and the man who deposits for commercial purposes, impressed with all the risk and assured of all the pro fit that comes from it.

The convicted capital grafters in Pennsylvania get off lightly with a sentence of two year in prison and a light fine for the looting in connection with the building of the capital at Harrisburg, which they turned into a scandal and a disgrace to the name of the state. The spirit of . retribution of the age is too lenient a one. We need f more of the stern old Spartan j sense of justice if the punishment of evildoing is to be made a warning to others.

He stated that he believed the fears of the banker of the competition that postal savings institutions would make for him were not well founded, that it would do in America as it had done in every other country, take care of itself. He said that he was not criticising our banking system for what it did but it did not go far enough. It did not reach all the money, 49, per cent of our money cannot be accounted, for at any time. It Is hoarded by those afraid to deposit it or carried by others who have no facilities for depositing. We only reach the large deposits, of a comparatively few depositors England with 45 mil lion people has 11 million depositors. 40 per cent of the people of Sweden are t bank depositors; less than ten per cent of our people are depositors.
