1 here will be no ksue of this paper c-n Thanksgiving D;iy. The office force most of them have been feast ing cn iirapinery turkey, noose, duck, etc., for several days, and for that reason the editor believes that they should be given a chance to partake of those things without the thought of going to work afterwards. After u fellow lias filled up on Thanksgiving things he isn't worth a rap any how so it is just as well to knock oil and feel uncomfortable. There used to be a time when the democrats raised a big howl because the republicans had more money to pend than they did and pointed out this fact to show that the use of money in the elections was not right. Hut during the past election it has been shown that the demiocrats of the state of Nebraska used more money than did the republicans, and right here in Cass county the amoumttf money used by the democrats was far in pyi'i'ss of tlint nsoil liv tlic rimulili- I'UIIS. The Journal recites a case of a gen tleman who paid $l.r for an overcoat two years ago and then a few days ago bought another one just like it for $20. Tariff. That is nothing. Under a democratic administration wc didn't have money enough to buy an overcoat, but under a republican administration we own two overcoats and another which we loaned a dem ocrat two years ago and he never returned it. More tariff. The Nebraska State Capital pub lishes an advertisement this week iaying "The first picture is that of a telephone girl built of steel," and then follows the picture of a mighty pretty telephone girl who to look at looks to be the real thing and no cold steel about her. Either the editor of the Capital has gone blind or else is too old to tell the difference between a pretty girl and a piece of pig iron. It may, look like small business for Uncle Sam to jump onto that binall countrydown in .South America and force it to be good, but tome times these little fellows take advan tage of the fact that they are small to swell up and seem like somebody. 1, will, do a whole., lot of good .o,r Uncle Samuel'' -'to take "yelaya over his knee and ndmoixiister the strap. We hac seen nothing in the state . house reports that that little debt of $22,1 UO had yet. been liquidated.' Hope, however, that it is not growing for it would be very discouraging after the republicans have paid off the old debt that had been standing for many years to have the democrats come in and start another one. President Taft was presented with a sixty pound turkey, a fifty pound mince pic and a twenty pound possum for bis Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. We trust that he had enough of the other fixings that are usually found on a Thanksgiving table so he would be able to make out a good meal and not have to go hungry to bed. WILL YOU HELP? Just a few words with you, peopled Plaltsmouth. The pub- lisheis of the Daily News are at tempting to publish a newspaper In wtikh all the people will feel an interest, mey are attempt ing to publish a newspaper to which all may point with pride. To do so requires strenuous efforts on our part, and still we feel that Vie are falling short of the obect wc have In view; To accomplish that object It Is necessary for the residents of the city to co-operate with us Insofar as sending In the little happenings In their homes r such Items of news as may come under their obsevatlon. We want you to call us up over the phone (both phones No. 85) and tell us. Don't get It Into your head that we will think that you are trying to break Into print for such will net be the case. On the contrary we will consider ourselves under lasting obligations to you for your courtesy. If you will comply with our request we can assure you a much better ' paper and one in which you will take more than an Indlflerent Interest.. Will you help? - Wabash Notes. ' Arthur Braun, who has been gone ... rinee lafct eprtng.-being i tftctinploy f a railroad company at Alliance, came in last Thursday for a visit with his parents. Three inches more snow fell Sunday night, preceded by rain. Charley Ilulfish is home making a visit with his parents. Our local nimrods are shooting lots of ducks lately. Misses Mabel and ALlie Vanllvery were Lincoln passengeWsaturday. 0. 0. Thomas was in Wabash last week looking after his business in tersts. The Baptist ladies met at the home of Mrsl (ieorge Colbert last Saturday to sew for the bazar. Charlca Braun was in. Omaha one day last week buying goods. lie seems to be doing a good business. Charles Clapp had charge of the Farmers' elevator last week in the absence of Mr. (lerbeling who was in attendance at a convention of im plement dealers at l'eoria, Ills. Josie, the-sixteen-year-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wilson, had the misfortune one day last week to break her limb between the knee and thigh. Dr. Munger who was in town at the time set the limb and she is getting along as well ua could be expected. BASE BALL BREVITIES. The Game as It Is Being Played Around the Base Burner. Dick Cooley has issued a denial of the story that he will sell the To peka club. There is every liklihood that there will soon be a general shakeup in the personnel of the Denver base ball team. Owen Bush is just ns popular in Cuba as he is in the United States. He has the natives pop-eyed with his fine fielding, and the Cubans are some fielders themselves. On one of the Cuban teams the Detroit-almost-champions are playing is a Cuban who got two three-baggers and a double in one game recently. They call him the Havana rapper. Christy Mathcwson and Hube Wad dell have been picking up considerable easy money by pitching against each other on independent teams around Id Paso and, other Texas towns. Honors have been' fairly Acn in the games in which the two stars have hooked up. Miss Daisy Hoover, said to have been the hist professional second base won an among women base ball players in t!i. United States, was buried in the potter's field in Kansas City a few days cu. She died in destitute circumstances at the city hospital there. For years Miss Hoover .vs connected with the Boston Bloom er CJirls. Last year she played through the cast with the Star Bloomer,. Oirls. ' t'i'.T" Bill Bourke of Omaha is olie of the self made men of the base ball game. Ten years ago Bill went to Omaha with ti.2H in his pocket and no return ticket. He borrowed $250 and went to work as manager of the Omaha club. Today he is worth S1".0,000P owns a l,CIM)-acre farm, a large interest in a canning factory, a base ball club that is prosperous, and has money in the bank besides. He gained his success by hard work and strict attention to business. "Ty" Cobb had a narrow escape from seroius injury at Atlanta a few days, ago, when his automobile was crushed into and partially wrecked Oy another car. Both men were re turning from the new automobile speedway, and had reached the crest of a hill just before entering the city. when Cobb yelled to the other driver as he dashed past. The latter set out in pursuit, and in attempting to go between Cobb s machine and a street car, swerved and struck Cobb's car with terrific force. Only presence of mind baved both drivers. Important Notice. All persons knowing themselves to be indebted in any amount to M. Fanger arc requested to call and settle at once. All persons having bills against me arc requested to present Bariie and get their money. As is well known I am closing out my business and am anxious to close up all outstanding accounts. In the past I have never crowded any person for payment, but now it is absolutely necessary that all bills due me be paid promptly. All bills remaining unpaid when my business has been clocsd out will be placed in the hands of a collection agency. That means additional costs and I hope I shall not be railed upon to take this means to collect what is. due me. . ( " M. Fanger. MARSHALL T. HARRISON HAS NARROW ESCAPE Encounter With Swine Nearly Proves Seri ous for Ex-Represntative. MISSOURI "RAIL SPLITTER" TAKES FIRST FALL Downs the Ex-Representative After a hall Hour Chase About Enclosure. The following from Nebraska City will be interesting to readers of the Daily News and we publish it in full: "Marshall T. Harrison, who served in the legislature as a representative between Cass and Otoe counties, and who is one of the largest stock raisers and farmers of this county and who resides near Dunbar, had a thrilling experience a few days since, which he will never forget and which he came near losing his life. He pur chased several cars of hogs down in Missouri some nionthw ago which to fatten and put on the market and one of the ""rail splitters," a sow, got out of the pen and made her escape into a corn field where she was allowed to remain for about six weeks. Mr. Har rison finally concluded to go out and try and locate the missing animal. Be cause of the recent rains and wet spells the ground was very soft and every step he sunk into the earth from four to six inches. He located FOOT BALL FATALITY Another Victim of the Great Game Added to the List. WAS NOT KILLED BUCKING THE LINE Could Not Attend Game and Hung Himself to Bed Post. DKS MOINKS. Nov. 27. The game of foot ball claimed another victim Thanksgiving day, but not in the usual way. Harold Perkins, a sixteen year old lad, asked his aunt if he could attend the Drake-Ames foot ball game and was refused. He went to the piano and played a few minutes, then arose and went to his room. Half an hour later he was found by a younger brother hanging to the bed post with hi.s neck broken. It is supposed that he wished to alarm his aunt, and that he had no intention of killing himself, supposing that he would be found before any serious harm had come to him. His neck was probably broken by the fall. .'' Eating an Apple. "Do you know what you're eating," said the doctor to the girl. "An apple, of course." "You arc eating," said the doctor, "albumen, sugar, gum, malic acid, gallic acid, fiber, water and phosphor rus." "I hope those things arc good. They sound alarming." "Nothing could be better. You ate, I observed, rather too much meat at dinner. The malic acid of apples neutralizes the excess of chalky matter caused by too much meat, and thereby helps to keep you young. Apples are good for your complexion; their acids drive out the noxious matters which cause eruptions. They are good for your brain, which those same noxious mutters, if retained, render sluggish, oreover, the acids of the apple di minish the acidity of the stomach that comes with some forms of indi gestion. The phosphorus, of which apples contain a larger percentage than any other fruit or vegetable, renews the essential nervous matter of the brain and spinal column. Oh, the ancients were not wrong when thet' esyeemed the apple the food of the gods the magis renewcr of youth to which the gods resorted when they felt themselves growing old and feeble. I think I'll have an aple," concluded the doctor. Xew York Tribune. I. F. Travis Sick. Judge, II. D. Travis has been hold ing night sessions in district court in Beatrice so that he would be able to cut turkey with his family in this city. His brother, I. F. Travis, is very sick in the Wise Memorial hospital in Omaha and the judge visited his brother there last evening, but n turned to Beatrice to finish up a case there. He hopes to be able to return home this evening as district court was adjourned here until , Saturday morning. the sow near the center of the field and no sooner had she spied him than sho started at him at full speed. He ran for a short distance and fell down, but managed to get to his feet before the animal reached him. He was chased about the field for nearly a half an hour, but could not get near the fence to get out of her reach and feeling that he was giving out side stepped as the wild animal made for him and fell on his back and held fast. They sank into the mud and he was afraid to loosen his hold know ing that she would attack ami per haps kill him. He held fast and yelled for help, but no answer came, and his cry for he help kept up for over two hours, when it attracted the attention of Oeorge Holmes, a farmer residing a mile and a half away. He went to investigate and rescued Mr. Harrison after tying the hog with a halter which he carried. Mr. Harri son was confined to his bed for some days." VALETINE MURDER Street Fight In which One Man Is ' Shot and Killed. MURDERER SURRENDERS I TO THE SHERIFF Climax of Week's Quarrel Between Members of a Bridge Gang. VALENTINE, Neb., Nov. 24. Last night about six o'clock Charles McArthur, a young man employed on the, bridge gang of the North : western railroad, was killed by a com rade,, 1-lwdurd Bell. The "two men hud been quarrel ing for more than a week and Bell had been carrying a revolver most of the time. Yesterday the quarrel was renewed after the two men reached town and McArthur went to a hard ware store and purchased a revolver. Bell claims to have shot in self defense and gave himself up to the sheriff immediately' after the shooting. No one seems, to know at this time just wo.wus the first man to draw his gun. The coroner's inquest will probably bring out the facts in the case. " ' Surprise Party. The Loyal Sons' quartet of tin Christian church and about forty of their friends chartered carryalls Thurs day evening and went to the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Grover Living ston, on the old Perry Walker farm, and completely surprised that family: Music and games rapidly whiled away Vie hours.

Travis is still busy in listening to the evidence in the cele brated Chamberlain case, in which he is charged with receiving deposits in the bank after it became insolvent, and the case will probably not be completed in district court in Beatrice before the middle of next week.

After reading the public statement of this representative citizen of I'latts mouth, given below, you must come to this conclusion: A remedy which cured years ago, which has kept the kidneys in good health since, can be relied up on to perform the same work in other cases. Read this: J. W. Hickson, Oak Street, riatts mouth, Nebr., says: "I will never cease to praise Doan's Kidney Pills, as they were of such great benefit to me several years ago. My kidneys and back were a source of constant suffer ing and I was subject to attacks of lumbago that came on without the least warning. The simplest move ment was painful and I was anoyed more or less by the irregular passages of the kidney secretions. I read so much about Doan'r. Kidney Pills, that I finally procured a box from Gering & Co. 's drug store. I was so gratified with the results of their use that I publicly endorsed them in 1906 and at this time, I heartily renew that state ment. I hope that other kidney suf ferers will profit by my experience." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
