When licr story was told at I In nici-t-of

i. - the novel method which she had

his excellent lady, and liei up; a gentle

thinking to perpetrate a joki' on

He either took pity on the "oor Mind

the police onto his scheme, we don't
know which. The joke did not mate

peacefully carry out her part of the

A frequently heard sigh. The
beautiful days of youth come to our
memory, when our body abounded with
strength and our mind full of energy
and ambition lin.ked forward to a
happy and fruitful future. "Where is
the vigor and elasticity of limbs, the
agility and comprehension of the
mind! The past days cannot be re
call, but we are able to put new
strength and new courage in the
weakened and exhausted system by
using Trincr's American Elixir of
Pitter Wine. It is composed of select
ed berlis the efficacy of which is in
creased by the addition of pure natural
grape wine, without any chemicals.
Py st reugthening the digestive system,
it makes the digestion perfect, elimi
nating the poisonous ingredients into
healthy, rich blood. In this way blood
is puritied and renewed in a natural
way. The result is health, strength,

DEATH OF JOHN RAMSEY.
A Former Pioneer Citizen of Cass
County Citizen Dies in Colorado.
On Tuesday, May 5, l!n)3,at !) o'clock
a. m., near Loveland, Larimer, county,
Colorado, of Pright's disease, John
Painsey departed this life, aged 00
years, two months and one day.
lie was lorn March 4. 137, near
Frankfort Springs. Heaver county,
Peuiia., and in the spring of 1857, left
his nat ive state, and for a time, was
located near Aledo, Mercer county, Ill
inois. From this place, in 1S58, he
emigrated to Cass county, Nebraska,
locating at Mt. Pleasant, a place near
Nehawka, Cass county, Neb. Here for
a mimlicr of years he worked at his
trade, that ofacariienter, and also en
gaged in farming and stock-raising.
Subsequently, he moved to place about
live miles from Cedar Creek, where he
improved a farm, and where he resided
with his family until about three years
ago, when, on account of lung trouble,
he went to Larimer, county, Colorado,
and where he hassince made his home.
At this place his lung trouble seemed
to improve and his general health
much better, unt il altout a year ago,
when that dread disease, which proves
so fatal, made its attack. From this
disease he gradually failed until the
end caiie. His death occurred at the
home of his son, William P., ninemiles
from Loveland, Colorado. The funer
al services were held at the Presbyte
rian church nearby, on Thursday, May
7, 1SMI3, Pev. Frank M(Hire preaching
the funeral sermon, and his six sons
acting as pa 11-1 tea re rs. His remains
were interred in the cemetery near the
church. His widow, all his living
chijdren and only brother, Hasil S.,
were present at the last sad rites, bis
brother having reached the bedside
three hours after his death.
Mr. Pamsey was the second child of
a family of eight children, of whom,
William died May !, li5, and Alletha
Standish died February 13, 1880. The
surving children consists of Sarah A.,
Catherine and Pebecca, residing near
Frankfort Springs, Penna.: Pella P.
Waterman, residing at I lay Springs,
Nebraska, and Hasil S., residing at
IMattsmouth, Net.
On January II, 18(H), he was united
in marriage to Miss Dorothy A. Hob
son, at Mt. Pleasant, Cass county, Ne
braska. To this union seven sons
were Inirn, the youngest, Milton S.,
died when about two years old and
was buried in Eight Mile Grove ceme
tery, Cass county, Nebraska. The
surviving children consist of William
H., Hugh H., Lawrence I, and Charles
D., all for a number of years residing
near Loveland, Larimer county, Color
ado: John M., residing at Manley, Cass
county, Neb , and James, who, with
his mother, resided on the old home
stead, near Cedar Creek, until they re
moved to Loveland, Colorada, recently.
John Pamsey was one of the pioneers
of Cass county, and had made it his
home for forty years. He had lived to
see the prairie developed into beauti
ful farms, little villages and hamlets
into cities, the emigrant trail and
freight roads leading to the mountains
give place to the railroads. He had
lived to see the home of his early man
hood transformed from a small terri
tory into one of the greatest states in
the union. Of a most genial, jovial
and kind-hearted nature, he made
many friends, and especially among the
early pioneers of Cass county, who are
fast passing away. His many friends
in Cass county will deeply regret his
sudden demise.
Body of Wm. McClellan fouqd.
The following was taken from the
Nebraska City Evening News of May
7t.
A floater was found this morning
near Minersville. It is thought that
the body passed thiscity during the
night. As yet Coroner Karsten has
received no notice of thefindingof the
body and therefore nothing has lteen
done to identify the remains. The
ltody was caught opposite the farm of
Mrs. F. P. Ireland.
A message in accordance with the
foregoing reached thiscity Thursday
afternoon, and from the description
given it was soon decided that it was
surely thelxidy of the unfortunate
man who fell from the H. & M. bridge
and was drowned several weeks ago.
(ieorge Godfrey, brother-in-law of the
deceased left at 4:30 the same after
noon for the point where the body was
found, and identified it as the remains
of William McClelland. The body was
taken to Kulo, the late home of the
deceased, where they were properly
intered. The rinding of the body is
certainly a great relief to the bereaved
w ife, father and mother, brothers and
sisters of the deceased.

Another Fortunate Cass County Man.
Py a mere chance, only, has Joiin
Friedrich learned that he is heir to
quite a snug little sum over in Ger
many, where his lather died, and
was reputed to be quite wealthy, all
of which John w ill get if the proper
proof is made satisfactory to the tier
man courts.
Tall this information credit is due
John Hauer, the south side Main
street hardware dealer. Some time
ago Mr. Hauer, while perusing a St.
Louis German paper, noticed a small
advertisement, inserted by Herman
Marckworth, an attorney of Cin
cininati, Ohio, stating therein that
Peter Friedrich of Germany, was
dead, and that his only heir was John
Friedrich, supposed to be somewhere
in America. Mr. Hauer at once
reported the same to Mr. Friedrich,
which resulted in a correspondence
with the attorney in Cincinnati,
which brought forth the fact that
there seemed to lie another elaiment
to the estate left by the elder Freid
rich. It seems, also that when John
came to America in 1874 he had parted
from his wife, and that no legal steps
had ever been t'tken to annul the
marriage contract, and the wife now
claims the estate on the ground
that her husband is dead. The time
for settling up the estate is set for
December next, and all the necessary
papers to prove Mr. Freidrich's iden
tity and right to the estate, have
been complied with as required by
the courts of the old country and
forwarded to the proper authorites
Mr. Friedrich's is a hardworking
man, living alone on a few acres
which he owns near IMattsmouth. He
is about sixty-three years old, and it
is the wish of all who know him, that
he will be successful in establishing
his claim, and who are also willing
to lend him all the aid in their power
to assist him in doing so.
Fruit Less Damaged than Supposed.
The past week has been wet, with
about normal temperature. The
daily mean temperature has averaged
within a degree of the normal.
The rainfall of the past week has
exceeded the normal in nearly all parts
of the state; in the southern counties
itwas very heavy and ranged from 2 to
4 inches.
The heavy and general showers of
the past two weeks have furnished an
abundance of moisture in all parts of
the state. "Winter wheat has grown
well and has improved in condition.
Spring wheat is up and grow ing well.
Oats are recovering nicely from the
effect of the low temperature of last
week. Grass has grown slowly, but
pastures are in excellent condition.
Considerable progress has been made
in planting corn in the southern
counties the past week; however, this
work is less advanced than is usual
at this time of year. Hut little corn
has been planted in central and
northern counties; some early planted
corn is up in southern counties. The
damage to fruit by the severe weather
of last week now appears to be much
less than at first supposed.
Ruling Under New Revenue Law.
The Lincoln Journal says that At
torney General Prout has given a de
cision that will effect every freeholder
and every county clerk and county
treasurer in the state. The attorney
general is of the opinion that the coun
ty clerk in making out the tax list for
11)03 must include a column in which
the county treasurer may enter oppos
ite the description of each tract of land
the amount of unpaid taxes thereon.
The new revenue law requires this, but
as that act does not take effect until
September 1, a dispute has arisen as to
whether it should be complied with
this year. County Attorney A. A.
Bishof, of Otoe county, raised the
question at the request of the treasu
rer of that county who, differing from
other county treasurers in the state,
holds that the law does apply to the
taxes forlW.3. This is the first ruling
under the new revenue law.
Quality in Cigars.
"While the outward appearance of a
cigar, a handsome box bearing the
cigarmakers' blue -union label or a
skillful system of advertising, may at
tract custom, it is the quality of the
cigar itself, which holds the customer
and builds up a profitable trade. The
use of blue union labels on boxes con
taining poorest qtialty of cigars induces
customers to give the blue union
labeled cigar boxes the G. H. In jus
tice tc dealers and customers who ap
preciate a good honest cigar with union
labor, after this date, in addition the
blue union labels, the Buds boxes w ill
also bear my own independent guaran
tee labels with the facsimile signature
of the manfacturer of high grade Buds

Reverses Damage Case.
The judgment secured five years ago
in the district court of Cass county by
"William Sporer as adminstrator of the
estate of Henry Hennings against the
Hock Island Railroad company for the
sum of $2,(m0 was ordered sent back to
this county by the supreme court for
another trial because Judge Ramsey
erred in his instructions to the jury.
Hennings was a well known farmer
living in Cass count'. On .lunc 18,
18!., he was driving home with a 13-year-old
daughter. Hetwecn South
Rend and M unlock it was necessary to
cross the Rock Island tracks where
the road curved sharply. The passen
ger train was late and, coming at a
terrific speed, dashed into Hennings'
buggy as he was on the track. Hen
nings and both horses were killed,
but the carriage in the front part of
which the little girl was lying asleep,
was carried some distance and the
child dropped by the roadside un
hurt. Soon after suit was brought in the
district court for $0,000 and judgment
rendered for .$2,750.
The supreme court makes it clear
that it does not look favorably upon
t he road's case, but orders a new trial
because of the conflict in the trial
judge's instructions, which were made
up of requests from each side.
Coming to the Front.
J. D. Ferguson, one of the principal
farmers and stockmen of Cass county,
was in the city Tuesday, enroute home
from Iowa, where he purchased a line
Rolled Durham bull to place with his
already tine herd. Mr. Ferguson has
now thirty fine specimens of these
high grade cattle, and thinks they are
as tine as any bred. Evidently Cass
county is coming to the front very
rapidly as the leading line stock county
of Nebraska. A few more such men
as Mr. Ferguson and the Heil Rros.,
and the day is not far distant whtn
Cass county will be recognized as such.
A Pleasant Affair.
The home of Mr. Peter liauen was
the scene of a most happy reunion last
Sunday. Those who were present
were John T. Rauen. Cincinnati, Ohio:
R. R. Rauen, .Grand Island, Neb; J.
J. Ileim, Omaha; Frank Rauen and
Mrs. J. J. Heim, of this city. These
family reunions always prove pleasant
gatherings, and it is needless to say
this one was no exception to the rule.
The visiting guests departed for their
homes Sunday evening.

GREATLY ALARMED.
By a Persistent Cough, but Perma
nently Cured by Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
Mr. H. P. Rurbage, a student at law,
in Greenville, S. C., has been troubled
for four or live years with a continuous
cough which he says, "greatly alarmed
me, causing me to fear that I was in
the first stage of consumption." Mr.
Rurbage, having seen Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy advertised, concluded
to try it. Now read what he says of
it: "I soon felt a remarkable change
and after using two bottles of the
twenty-live cent size, was permanently
cured." Sold by all druggists.
A Startling Test.
To save a life, Dr. T. C Merritt, of
No. Mchoopany, l'a., made a startling
test resulting in a wonderful cure.
He writes, "a patient was attacked
with violent hemorrhages, caused by
ulceration of the stomach. I had often
found Electric Hitters excellent for
acute stomach and liver troubles sol
prescribed them. The patient gained
from the first and has not had an at
tack in It months." Klectric Hitters
are positively guaranteed for Dyspep

Kidney troubles. Try them. Only
