Big Show Coming.
(Jollmar Bros', big railroad show is
in the city today, and the city has
presented an unusually lively appear
ance. L.arge crowds gatnerea along
the streets to witness the big street
parade at 10 o'clock this forenoon, and
none were disappointed. The perfor
mance this afternoon was first-class
and was greeted by a crowd which
taxed the seating capacity to the ring
side. Every part of the program was
excellent, and many new and wonder-
feats were introduced which won
applause from the audience. The big
menagerie was just as advertised by
the Gollmar Bros., and the numerous
specimens of wild animals attracted
much attention, including the blood
exuding hippopotamus. Tonight they
give another big performance, and,
without doubt will again fill their big
tent. It 's a big show and a good show
and well deserves the liberal patron
age accorded it. Vindicator, Rhine

Years of Svffering.
Mr. Stephen Lorko, merchant, 203
Chestnut St., Johnstown, Pa., would
like to have his experience printed in
all papers. He had a very painful
stomach trouble for years, which could
not be cured, untii he started using
Trainer's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine. It took some time before he
was cured, but the cure was perfect
and lasting. We know positively that
this remedy will benefit every stomach,
if used according to the directions. It
will clean out the stomach, regulate
the secretion of the gastric juice,
strengthen the muscles of the stomach
and of the intestines and thus will
make the digestion natural and com
plete. This means pure and rich blood,
a healthy and strong body. Do not
neglect the first sign of sickness loss
of appetite, but immediately use
Triner's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine. It will cure you. At drug

TOO MUCH RAIN FOR CORN
Crop Badly Damaged in Missouri and
Kansas-Soon to be Out of Danger.
Washington, Sept. 19. The weekly
summary of crop conditions issued by
the weather bureau today is as follows:
Except in New England and the
northern part of the middle Atlantic
states, where the end of the week Sep
tember 13 averaged considerably cooler
than usual, the temperature wasabove
normal and generally favorable weath
er being over the greater part of the
central valleys, gulf states and eastern
Rocky mountain slope. Light to heavy
frosts occurred in the Rocky mountain
regions and also in North Dakota, the
lake region, New England and the
northern portion of the middle Atlan
tic states, but they resulted in no ser
ious damage.
A marked feature of the week was
the excessive precipitation, accompa
nied in places by high winds, in the
lower Missouri valley, where much
damage was done and especially in
central and western Missouri and
eastern Kansas. Wet weather also
proved detrimental over a large part
of the middle Atlantic states and iu
portions of the south Atlantic and east
gulf districts, while drought contin
ues over portions of Texas. Generally
favorable weather prevailed in the
central gulf states, Tennessee and
most of the Ohio valley and middle
Atlantic states. Favorable weather
also prevailed in California, and show
ers relieved drought conditions to a
greater or less extent in Washington
and Oregon.
While corn has experienced favora
ble conditions over the larger part of
the corn belt, late corn in the upper
Ohio and Missouri valleys is maturing
slowly and the crop in the lower Mis
souri valley has suffered seriously from
excessive ra!ns and high winds, espec
ially in Missouri and Kansas. In the
first mentioned state a large part of
the crop has been blown down or is
badly damaged. Much is under water,
and that in shock is beginning to
mould. Over the northern part of the
corn belt from two-thirds to three-
fourths of the crop is now safe from
frost.
Notwithstanding frequent showers
in the spring wheat region, threshing
of spring wheat has been general,
shock threshing in Minnesota being
nearly completed. Considerable soot
is reported from the Dakotas.
While a slight improvement in the
condition of cotton is reported from
Oklahoma and Indian territories and
portions of Louisiana and Texas, the
crop as a whole over most of the belt
has experienced little or no change,
with a tendency toward deteriora
tion.
Picking is advancing rapidly and is
nearing completion in most fields in
southern Georgia.
Nearly all reports indicate a very
small apple crop.
Convicted of Attempted Rape.
Yesterday afternoon the case of the
state vs. Martin O'Neil, charged with
attempting to rape Sylvia Straw, on
March 20, 1905, was called and a num
ber of witnesses gave their evidence.
This morning the taking of testimony
was concluded and near noon the case
was given to the jury. The case was
prosecuted by County Attorney Bis-
chof and the defense was conducted
by J. C. Watson and William Hay ward.
There was a large crowd present to
hear the testimony. The mother of
the defendant was at his side all dur
ing the trial. The prisoner is a young
man and fairly good looking and the
attempt to rape the girl was done
while under the influence of liquor.
After the jury had been out some
time they returned with a verdict of
"iruiltv as charged." The prisoner
and his attorneys were surprised and
could not believe but what there had
been some mistake, and they asked to
have the jury polled, which was done
with the above result. Nebraska City

You can buy choice tillable CORN AND ALFALFA LAND in the rain
belt of Nebraska at from SI5.00 TO $25.00 PER ACRE, and finest of
pasture land adjoining at a very much lower figure.
Twenty-five years ago two wealthy Boston men acquired these lands in
the FAMOUS WOOD RIVER VALLEY country of Dawson and Custer
Counties, Nebraska.
At the time the lands were acquired the country was open and only the
CHOICEST QUARTERS AND SECTIONS vere selected. The Eastern
owners never placed these lands on the market. We have just purchased
every acre of their holdings at a SNAP PRICE and will sell it all in quar
ters, halves and sections at a small advance.
The soil is a RICH BLACK LOAM, r.o sand, and is new growing
heavy crops of CORN, SMALL GRAINS, POTATOES, AND ALFALFA
(FOUR CUTTINGS OF ALFALFA). The lands lie from one to eight
miles from Oconto, Nebraska (a station on the Union Pacific R. R.)
If you are interested, we shall be pleased to send you further infor
mation, if you send us your address.
