1863 he made two more trips. It gen
erally took about thirty days to make
the trip to Denver. Mr. Young will
note the difference in Denver of 1862
63 and that of the magnificent city of
today.
Ad exchange tells us that the revised
code of the Methodist Episcopal church
has chsmged somewhat the ritual of
the marriage service and that the
bride mntst promise to '"love.honor and
keep-' her husband. This is no doubt
a good nuptial formula. We know a
lot of young fellows that would like
fur somebody to keep them. They
won't work and it would evidently be
jut to their liking it some sweet mrl
would "keep them.''
A Clear Complexion and Bright Eyes.
In most cases a sallow, blotched com
plexion and dull heavy eyes are due
to poor digestion and an inactive liver.
Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup aids di
gestion and stimulates the liver and
bowels and makes the complexion
smooth and clear. Orino Laxative

Get a Move On You.
There are many things that can be
done to benefit the city, but it will take
work to bring them about- The great
trouble is many of our business men
seem to have lost all interest in the
city only so far as their own individual
business. If they would make up
their minds to be a little more social
with each other in their business rela
tions, would help some. Hut they
seem to be too much for the almighty
dollar to care much for the appearance
of the city, for its enterprises or for
anything else so they do the business.
There is no necessity for Piattsmouth
being in its present sluggard move
ments, and would not take long to
move her out or her present slow pace
if everyone who ought to be interested
in the welfare of the city would get a
move on themselves. Men who ought
to move don't, and those who ought to
lie dormant, move, and there it goes.
Dr. Finn's Testimony Interesting.
Dr. Thomas Finn, of Boonsboro,
Mo., who has practiced medicine for
32 years, says he has used every pre
scription known to the profession for
treatment of kidney and bladder dis
eases, and says he has never found
anything so effective in both chronic
and acute kidney and bladder trouble
as Foley's Kidney Cure. It stops ir
regularities and builds up the whole
system. F. G. Fricke & Co.
Contract Awarded.
The contract for the construction of
an addition to the Nebraska Masonic
home building in this city, with the
exception of the heating and piping,
was awarded to A. Carlson & Co., of
this city, yesterday, for the sum of
$11,241, providing a suth'cient bond is
furnished A. Carlson went to Omaha
this morning to make suitable arrange
ments for the bond and to sign the
contract, which calls for the com
pletion of the work in ninety days.
Men Past Sixty in Danger.
More than half of mankind over
sixty years of age suffer from kidney
and bladder disorders, usually enlarge
ment of prostate gland. This is both
painful and dangerous, and Foley's
Kidney Cure should be taken at. the
first sign of danger, as it corrects ir
regularities and has cured many old
men of this disease. Mr. Rodney
Burnett, Rock Port, Mo., writes: "I
suffered with enlarged prostrate gland
and kidney trouble for years and after
taking two bottles of Foley's Kidney
Cure I feel better than I have for
twenty years, although 1 am now 91
years old." F. G. Fricke & Co.

WRECKED ON
THE BRIDGE
For the First Time in the History of the
Bridge Has Such an Accident Occurred.
TRAINS DELAYED FOR HOURS
In Consequence .cf Which "At Cripple
Creek," Fails to Come to Time.
TRAINS RUN VIA COUNCIL BLUFFS
The first accident to occur on the
Burlington bridge, which spans the
Missouri river at this point, happened
last evening.
While a heavily loaded freignt train
east bound was crossing that structure
the air brake broke near the center of
the train, which caused the front
engine and cars in front of the break
to stop. The pushing of the engine
in the rear, with the assistance of the
weight of the cars back of the break,
caused two cars where the break oc
curred to ccme together with such
force as to smash in the end of each
and put the moving of train out of
business for several hours, and leave
"At Cripple Creek" over in Iowa.
It was indeed fortunate that the
accident did not terminate more seri
ously, occuring as it did right on the
bridge, and near the center. As it
was, the wreckage crew were not long
in clearing the same, and by half-past
eight, or two and a half hours after
the accident, trains were moving over
the bridge as usual, although many
were delayed in consequence.
On account of the wreck the "At
Cripple Creek,' company were com
pelled to cancel their date, much to
the disappointment of some of the
theatre-goers.
Got Off Cheap.
lie may well think, he has got off
cheap, who, after having contracted
constipation or indigestion, is still able I
to perfectly restore his health. Noth

A Suggestion.
I'lattsmouth has done the right
thing to the farmers by providing
hitching posts for their horses on side
streets near the business part of the
city. We can do another good thing
by providing a comfortable room
on Main street for the women and
children of farmers, where they can
rest in comfort and have a pleasant
chat with their near neighbors and
friends after they had finished their
trading. It is a hardship for th.e
women and children to stand on the
streets awaiting the time for their
husbands to come to take them horni?.
They deserve better treatment. The
men folks can spend their time visit
ing the saloons, meet their friends and
have a social game of cards or talk
over farm afTair. The women can nut
go there. We have a half dozen empty
store rooms on Main street. Why
can't the citizens rent one of these,
fix it up and provide plenty of chairs
and a few tables, and by so doing
make the women and children comfort
able while in town. It is a duty we
owe the farmers, especially their
wives and children.
LiKe Finding Money.
Finding health is like finding money
so think thofe who are sick. When
you have a couh, cold, sore throat, or
chest irritation, tetter act promptly
like W. C. Barter, of Sandy Level, Va.
He says: "I had a terrible chest trou
ble, caused by smoke and coal dust on
my lungs; but, after finding no relief
in other remedies, I was cured by Dr.
King's Xew Discovery for Consump
tion, Coughs and Colds." Greatest
sale of any cough or lung medicine in
the world. At F. G. Fricke & Co.'s
drug store: 10c and 81.00; guaranteed.
Trial bottle free.
The New Version.
Mary had a little lamb; that time
has passed away. 2Co lamb could fol
low up the gait that Mary goes today.
For now she rides on airshod wheels
in skins too short by half: no lambin
shares her airy fiiaht, but you can see
her calf. But is there one who can
complain or cry in woe, "Alas!" so
long as Mary'scalf'sall right the lamb
can go to grass. So all the men delight
to gaze, their joy is not a sham, for
while the other criter's out they have
no use for Iamb.
Are You Engaged?
Engaged people should remember,
that, after marriage, many iuarrels
can ue avoided, by Keepmir their diges
tions in good condition with Electric
Bitters. S. A. Brown, of Bennetts-
viile, S. C-, sa: For years, my wife
.suffered intensely from dyspepsia, com-
plicated with a torpid liver, until she'
lost her strength and vigor, and be
came a were wrtck of her former self.
