Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork,"- was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott's Emulsionisthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion docs more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
A sample will be
sent free upon request.

The nicest and pleasantest medicine

The peculiar cough which indicates
croup, is usually well known to the
mothers of croupy children. No time

received more universal approval than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Do
not waste valuable time in experiment
ing with untried remedies, no matter
how highly they may be recommended
but give this medcine as directed and
all symptoms of croup will quickly
disappear. For sale by all druggists.
The Elks Enjoy a Grand Time.
The Elks are. the greatest entertaim
ers on the face of the earth when they
take a notion; and from what we are
able to learn, they certainly were in the
proper notion on New Year night, as
the annual ball given at Waterman
hall fully demonstrated. It was a most
happy gathering. The hall was most
elaborately arranged and beautifully
and appropriately decorated. The
stage was so arranged as to represent a
veranda with proper decorations. All
in all, the work was most magnificent
ly done, mucu to the credit of Messrs.
George Tartsch, H. F. Goos. II. E.
Weld nan, J. G. Koch, Emmons Rich-
ey and A. L. Snyder, the committee.
Forty couples were present to parti
cipate in the dancing program. Punch
was served between numbers. The
Glen wood orchestra furnished the mu
sic for the occasion. All in attendance
are of but one sentiment, and that is
that the Plattsmouth Elks on this
occasion fully kept up their established
record as entertainers.
A tlarvtlous Invention.
Wonders never cease. A machine
has been invented that will cut, paste
and bang wall paper. The field of in
ventions and discoveries seems to be
unlimited. Notable among great
discovt ries is Dr. King's - New Dis
covery for Consumption. It has done
a world of good for weak lungs and
saved many a life. Thousands have
used it and conquered Grip, Bronchitis
Pneumonia and Consumption. Their
general verdict is: "It's the best and
most reliable medicine for throat and
lung troubles. Every 50c and $100
bottle is guaranteed by F. G. Frlcke

Slick Scamps.
For several days Plattsmouth seems
to have leen a sort of a rendezvous for
a gang of the slickest scamps that has
come this way in a longtime. The
trick they ply is something like this:
They keep out of sight during the day
time, and at the supper hour, when all
the clerks but one have gone to supper,
two or three of them enter a store, one
engages the attention of the remaining
clerk in showing goods in one part of
the store while the others secrete on
their persons such articles as they can.
When time sufficent is given to do the
work, they all walk out without buying
anything. This is repeated at the
opening hour in the morning. The dis
covery was made by these fellows
making an effort to sell various articles
of men's wearing apparel to workmen
on the bridge. Chief of police Hyers
was apprised of this fact and several
arrests were made, and articles found
upon their persons. Upon examina
tion, no tags or marks could be found
to designate where they came from, as
they are just such goods as nearly every
dry goods and clothing store keep in
stock, and while there does not seem to
be the least doubt that the goods
were taken from stores here in town,
and in the manner stated in the fore
going, there was no possible way to
prove the fact, and to settle the mat
ter they were released and by Chief
Hyers told to shake the P.attsmouth
dust from their feet, which they did
immediately. Notwithstanding they
bore the appearance of tramps, they
are a slick set, and are now no doubt
working the merchants in some other
good sized town. They are too cute
to try the small towns.
Orange Blossoms.
Arabi T. Fitt and Minnie H. Her-
old were united in marriage at tiie
home of the bride's parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Herman Herold, on New Year
day. at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Rev. F. H. Freund performed the
ceremony in the presence of only rela
tives and most intimate friends.
Immediately after the ceremony the
hppy couple took their departure for
MoCook, where they will- make their
future home, the gnom being a fire
man on the Burlington running out of
McCook.
From Bohemia.
Joseph Jara, esq., of Pisek in Bo
hemia, Europe, writes us about an
American article as follows: 4,I wish
to certify that I have used Triner's
American Elixir of Bitter Wine with
the best results. For a long time I
had no appetite, the stomach refused
to take food and my strength decreased
rapidly All medicines prescribed for
me by very good physicians were use
less, but Triner's American Elixir of
Bitter ' Wine quickly restored my
health. Everybody knowing me was
surprised at seeing the speedy effect of
this wonderful American product."
It should be remembered that the
stomach is the center of the action of
all organs of the body and that a
remedy curing the stomach cures the
whole body, supplying it with fresh
rich blood. This is the action of
Triner's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine, the best regulator of digestion,
strengthener of nerves and muscles;
purifier and builder of blood. At
drugstores and at the manufacturer's,
