Larkin & Co., found that some time since closing Saturday night burglars had paid them a visit. Entrance was effected to the store room through a rear window. So far as has been determined nothing vas molested molested excepting a little candy, pro bably ten or fifteen pounds, and this leads to the supposition that perhaps it was the work of local talent. A window near the north end on the west side was broken open first, but iron bars inside prevented an entrance. The elevator to tic second story and basement of the hardware store, which is located in the angle between the Larkin store proper and the store room was raised on a level with another win dow and another glass broken and an entrance effected. Fine job work done at this office. Sons THE COUNTY BOARD REGULAR MEETING HELD AND USUAL AMOUNT OF ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACTED.

Conference of Forest Schools The heads of all universities, colleges and schools in which technical forestry is taught have been invited by Gifford Pinchot, United States Forester, to at tend or send a representative to the Congress on Education in Forestry which will bo held in Washington in December. In his letter of invitation the Forester says: "I believe that a conference of the representatives of forest schools and universities and colleges in which for estry is taught might be made of great value to the general progress in for estry in the United States, as well as to the institutions which teach forestry, and to the Forest Service, which employs so many of their grad uates, and which is vitally interested in the best training of foresters. Such a conference might well consider the objects and methods of forest instruc tion, the organization and standards of educational work in the field of forestry the coordination of the work of differ ent institutions, and the needs of the Forest Service and other employers of forest graduates. "I hope you will find it possible to be present or send a delegate to a confer ence of this kind, which, with the con currence of the institutions concerned, will be held in Washington December 30 and 31, 1909." From all over the country the plan has met with enthusiastic support, let ters of acceptance having been received from nearly every institution to which the invitation has been sent. New Reading Room A recent by-law of the Christian Science Church requires that reading rooms shall not be conducted in con nection with the office of a practitioner. Heretofore the reading room of the Second Church of Cnrist, Scientist, has been located in the rooms of Mrs. Au rclia Hilton, the practitioner, in the Coates block. In conformity with the new ruling, however, another room has been secured, and the reading room has been removed. The new room is also in the Coates block, just at the head of the stairs to the west, formerly oc cupied by Earl Wescott, where the pub lic is cordially invited to call any after noon between the hours of 2 and 4 for information or literature relative to Christian Science.

To filter the blood is the kidney duty. When they fail to do this the kidneys are sick. Backache and many kidney ills follow; Urinary trouble, diabetes. Doan's Kid ney Pills cure them all. Plattsmouth people endorse our claim. P. M. Lindsay, Marble Street, Platts mouth, Nebr., says: "Off and on for bout two years I suffered from pains in my back and while at work, a dull, steady ache through my loins greatly disturbed me. I had reason to believe that tho trouble was caused by disor dered kidneys but I was unable to find relief from tho remedies I used. Fi nally Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and I procured a box at Gering & Co's. drug store. The results that followed their use showed that I had at last found the right rem edy for my trouble and thus encour aged, I obtained another box. In re turn for tho great improvement Doan's Kidney Pills have made, I heartily en dorse them." For sale by all dealers. Price CO cents.

"Jack" Denson picked up Henry Mil ler, a youthful runaway from his home in South Omaha, this forenoon. He is a son of William Miller, formerly a resident of this city. He left his home some time Monday but was apprehend ed by his father in Omaha yesterday and placed upon a street car and start ed home. However, he concluded that he was not quite ready to return to the parental domicile, and leaving te car started south, arriving in this city this morning. Upon learning that ho did not arriva-home his father sent word to the officers of this city and Deputy Manspeaker and Policeman Trout got a team and started to look up the young ster. Shortly afterward, however, Constable Denson picked him up on the street and lodged him in jail awaiting further instructions. Cut tho Weeds. What has become of the agitation in regard to the destruction of weeds. Present appearances of the streets for blocks in many different parts of the city are rendered unsightly by a tall growth of rank weeds which are a men ace to the health conditions of the neigh borhood. There is a stretch of tall weed3 extending from ihe city tool house over the sewer entrance to the bridge a few hundred yards distant so high the houses cannot be seen on the west side of Chicago avenue. Someone should, get after these and cut them down. 3 and $3.50... $2 now 1 $2. & Marx clothes. Manhattan Shirts m
