State Veterinarian McKirn says that tuberculosis in boys has reached glare proportions throughout the state. I Recently he w as at an South Omaha packinghouse and witnessed the re leetion of titty-seven out of 1, lot) ani mals, because of the infection. The spread of the disease in swine is said to be due largely to the use cf milk of diseased cows as hoi.' food. Dr. McICim is devoting some effort to research work in an ellort to dis cover some preventive measures, hut o far with slight success. The exist ence of tuberculosis among cattle has been known for several years, but nothing has been accomplished to wards the eradication of the disease. Ir. Thomas, the former state veterin arian, made several efforts to test dairy tattle by the use of tubercu in, bit his progress was impeded by cattle owners, who objected to the i jss of diseased .stock without pay. While net in possession of exact data, the state veterinarian has re ceived reports that tuberculosis has rained alarming sway. Many hog raisers are greatly concerned and have appealed to the department for aid in checking the spread of the infection, which is causing heavy losses. According to the reports from the packing houses the inspection is so thorough that the diseased animals are rejected with unfailing certainity. The swine seem even more sugccptable to infection than cattle. The use of the separators on the farms for the purpose of gathering cream from milk has led to the use of the skim milkas hog food more than ever, and that, it is believed, accounts in a considerable measure for the fact that the disease is developingso rapid ly now, as compared w ith the past.

Look Around lo. o IS SOMEWHAT CHANGED State Superintendent Makes Amendment in Examination Rules to Help Teachers. State Superintendent McLrien w ill issue a circular changing the rule, fix ing the date for teachers' examina tions so that persons who have reli gious scruples against Saturday work may do it all on Friday, while those who cannot secure excuses from their school boards frr the last named day, may answer the questions on Saturday. This is accomplished by amending the original rule seven, scheduling several studies for each of the last two days of the week, so that they are reversed. The new rule is as follows: "In January, March, May, July, September of each year the program for examination as given in rule 7 of our circular of October l'J will be re versed. Friday's subjects coming on Saturday and Saturday's subjects com ing on Friday. The program for the December. l'.'Oo, examination will be given as in rule 7. This amendment is to accommodate those whose reli gious observances prevent their taking the examination on Saturday. This rule w ill aid a large number of teachers. Superintendent Mclhien also calls attention to the fact that. l,an exam ination for state certificates will be held - every county seat tow n in Ne braska on the third Friday and the Saturday following, of December, litO.l, to be conducted by the county super intendents as provided in section 10, subdivision ia, school laws of Nebraska for UK).",." He asks the retiring county superin tendents to devote their undivided at tention to the affairs of their succes sors and to give the latter all possible assistance in gathering the threads of official duty. They are required to have their records in such shape that the new superintendents will not be embarrassed and are cautioned to make the regular statutory biennial reports to the county commissioners.

Chapman From Delivering Address. THE MUSICAL PROGRAM CARRIED OUT County Attorney C. A. Rawels, Delivers a Most Interesting Address. Memorial services by the local F.Iks lodge was held Sunday afternoon at Coates' hall. The program was complete in detail and the ceremonies were exceptionally impressive. The departed brothers of the lodge are J. M. Patterson, Otto C. Hookmeyer, I'ercy W. Agnew and Frank J. Mor gan, all of whom had been well and favorablly known by the people of this city for nearly their whole life, and who have in our midst many warm and sympathizing friends outside of the Elks lodge as well as within its membership, all of which added ma terially to t lie solemnity of the occa sion and made the affair a noted mile stone in the progress of F.Ik fra- ! tcrnalism. The musical numbers were line and were iy the well known local laicni j which lor its musical ability surpasses j most cities of the sie of I'lattsmouth. Illness prevented .Judge S. M. Chap man from being present. The princi pal address was very forcibly written and pleasantly delivered by County Attorney C. A. Haw's, who said, in part: "The two great mysteries life and death confront us on every hand. The one daily, hourly, constantly: the other at intervals of short duration. These two great mysteries have not been fully solved, their depths have not yet been fathomed. Into their deepest recesses the divines and phil osophers of all countries and all times have delved and analyzed, but from every final analysis there has been a residum which could not he resolved. Day after day. year after year, century after century throughout the ages, the strange phenomena of life and hope the appalling scenes of death and despair have been passing like a panorama before the eyes of human kind So life, strength, happiness, wisdow, power, come and go history is formed the multitude forgotten. Ilemembering always that the worth of a human life is not measured by the ticking of a clock, nor by rise and set of sun, but by acts well performed and deeds bravely done. A life surrendered while thus struggling to add to the sum of human happiness, is not cut short, nor confined to a small segment of time, but is immortalized and shall live forever. While I believe that death makes no wrong right, nor transforms evil into good, yet in view of the universal weakness incident to all mankind. 1 deem it meet and right to pause in our activities at the pass ing (if those we know and pay tribute to their memory by recounting what ever of virtue and nobility we have discovered in their lives: for indeed, the brightest thought the real true zest of life comes to us in the conscious ness of having made an impress upon the minds and hearts of those we meet, which we know will last bevond the passing days. "We meet today in obedience to the decree of our Exalted Grand Ruler and in harmony with the most beautiful custom that comes to us from ances tral days, that is, the custom of the annual gathering of thoughtful ones to perpetuate the memory of friends who have passes into the great beyond In the great maelstrom of humanity into which individuals by the thou sands daily enter, Moat upon the sur face for a moment, pass into the vor tex out of sight, to be followed by thousands more who know not their predecessors, nor care to hear of their existence; where a single life is but a mote, a speck, a glimmer, a flash where a thousand years are as a day, and a day too short a time to compute, we have but little time to grasp the essential things of life, but little time to place ourselves in harmony with truth and justice, but little time to seek the good and beautiful of life, but little time to form our own character and impress the good we have learned upon our fellow men. No time at all for quibbling over non-essential things, no time at all to watch for evil in our brother, no time for self- tighteousness or self-agrandisement. To our anxious call comes no answer save from the voice of hope, and we are reminded that to live a worthy life should be our highest aspirations. There is a strong desire of every race of every nation, of every community and individual to live on into succeed ing generations. Whence comes his tory, based on the record of brave and noble deeds? Whence comes the na tional spirit, more enduring and deeper seated than love of home? Wherefore the world's great wonders, the products of the genius, the toil and lives of generations? Wherefore the mighty palace, the great temples, the marble and granite shafts? Why the ceaseless strife of wealth and power: why the sacriGce cf health and f comfort and life itself? Why struggle j and toil for prosperity, and preserve ! the names of our ancestry? Hecause ! of the ceaseless, ever enduring, all ab sorbing yearning to be known and re- memU-red by .succeeding generations to make our impress upon the face of time. The dearest, sweetest and most beautiful i.bought m life: the thought that inspires in the human breast the desire to live forever: the thought that enobles ambition and elevates our aspirations; the thought that strengthens hope, enlarges faith, and in every step in the struggle of life beckons us onward: the thought that transforms men into lions and women into angels: the thought that inspires in the human heart love for brother man:the thought that prompts man to die for man, and plants in the human; soul atributes of God, is the thought that we shall be remembered. Shortage of Teachers. State Superintendent McHrien in a circular which he is sending out to the county superintendents says that some counties are still in need or teach ers, while others have an over-supply well-qualified to teach school. The dearth of pedagogic material is not, however, so great as it was two years ago. The slate ollicial says: 'Some counties are in need of teach ers. Some counties have an extra sup ply of persons well qualilied to teach school. It is not necessary to license, even under the emergency certilicate. any teachers except those with tirst- ciass qualifications. Common sense high school graduates, without any experience in teaching, are preferable to persons with only an eighth grade education and several years' experience as a school keeper not a school teach er. Let us know how' many teachers your county needs. Let us know how many well qualified, common sense, earnest, practical teachers your county can furnish for those counties in need of such teachers.' Why is This Thus? The Western Publisher truthfully remarks: "No town will be a good business center so long as the majority of its business men rely upon a few merchants to bring trade to town. Too often the men in a few lines of trade are about the only ones that reach out after customers. Other merchants wait until these business men intluence to come and content themselves with trade that naturally drifts to their place. A public-spirited asks himself if he is doing his part to attract people to come to town. Any person who induces people to come to town to trade is helping the entire easiness community, and no town is a success unless all lines of trade are working to extend business as far as possible and trying to bring a larger territory in the circle of which the town is the business center." Is Well Pleased. A Journal reporter enjoyed quite a lengthy conversation with Fred W. Ebinger Tuesday in reference to Plainview, Neb., his future home, and where he at present owns a hardware store. Mr. F.binger is highly pleased with his location. He says Plainview is a tine town already, but has an ex ceedingly bright future. The town is improving quite rapidly, is situated in the midst of some of the finest coun try in Nebraska. Farmers are gener ally prosperous, and the way they are improving their possessions, truly de notes that they have great faith in its future. Mr. Ebinger says another thing that strikes him most forcibly is the fact that many former residents of Cass county are located there, and that he feels "at home" there already He says they are all well pleased and doing well. Dying By Inches. A patient came to a doctor and, be ing asked what he ailment is, said, he thinks that he is dying by inches, be cause every day he seems to be weaker, more nervous, and more emaciated. It took him long before be decided to ask a doctor's advice thinking that it will pass away without medicine. Ilad he used Triner's American Elixir of Bit ter Wine as soon as the first symptoms were noticed, he certainly would have prevented this sickness. This remedy will make every stomach strong and capable, not only to accept food, but to long for it and to digest it. It strengthens the whole alimentary canal and in fact, the whole body. Whenever you will notice a change in your appetite, in your bodily strength, in your vitality: whenever you will ex perience some difficulties after meals or will have an interrupted. unrefresh ing sleep: whenever you will feel ner vous, or have some skin eruptions. Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine will help you. It will purify your blood and constantly replenish it. At drugstores. Jos. Triner. 79 So. Ashland Ave., Chicago. 111. Will Go Back to Elmwood.

SHERIFF ATTACHES COMPANY'S GOODS Under the Circumstances Their Plattfmouth Date Will Undoubtedly Be Cancelled In speaking of the financial embar rassment of the Floradora company, which is dated for this city on the Kith, the Fremont Herald says: "Further information relative to the linancial embarrassment which came very nearly resulting in Sheriff J5au man placing an attachment on the property of the company which played Floradora here Saturday evening, re veals that the basis of the w rit of at tackment was a claim for royalties for the use of the play, which is owned by an English Syndicate, the rights to which are sub-let in this country to a Mr. Woodard of New York. Mr. C. II. J. Murray, also of New York, Mr. Woodard "s legal representative, ar rived in the city Sunday morning from Omaha. In an interview with the Herald lie stated that the company putting on the play here were under contract with Mr. Woodard to pay him 1") percent royalty on the gross receipts at each and every perform ance of Florodora. The business of the company has recently not been so large as the manager had hoped fori and. consequently, this item of ex pense set them back financially to an unpleasant degree. The royalty fee was generally the last item to be considered in the matter of payments and the result was that the amount due in royalties to Mr. Woodard is something like 82,500: and as this to the English and of the line of their share of the royalties it is but natural but he is on the lookout for their col lection. Hence the visit to Fremont of his legal representatives. "'It was quite reliably stated here that the company has other financial entanglments in the way of arrear ages in salaries, etc., which render the manager's progress along the Thespian way not always a pathway of roses or beds of financial ease and there was serious talk quietly on Sunday of the probabilty of the organization be ing compelled to disband. If it does continue on the road it is understood that only the largest cities of the country will attract them cities with a theatre going contingent sufficiently large to justify a week's run at a place thus reducing expenses very materially in every way. "The managers and members of the Florodora company all had the ap pearance and conduct of good people and it is a matter of regret that they are so embarrassed. "Matters were not satisfactorily ad justed on Monday and Sheriff liauman took possession of the property under the writ he held." Her Seventy-Second Birthday. At the elegant home of L. a. Todd in the village of Union a number of neighbors and friends of the family un expectedly called Monday afternoon, the occasion being the 72nd birthday of Mrs. Todd. Mr. and Mrs. Todd were among the very first settlers of this county and are widely and favor ably known over the county. Their extreme old age and declining health will make birthday affairs anticipated occasions for their many friends and kind neighbers. A bounteous lunch eon was served. Those present had a very enjoyable time and on their de parture wished Mrs. Todd many more happy birthdays. WEDDING DELL CHIMES I The Romantic Culmination of Youthful Love and Promise. j Wednesday evening. NovciiiImt l!'i, :i ! I'.mi.-,. at w o "clock, at tin- M. E. church. ! at Nchawka, Neb., otvuned the wed j ding of Mr. Kingsley I.e. of Ivanho-, Oklahoma, to Miss May Hippie of Ne braska City, Kev. S. Ki.se r officiating. Miss Martha Chapman, of Nebraska City, and Miss Addie Lockwell, of Weeping Water, acted as bridesmaids, and Mr. Charles Lee, of Ivanhoc, Okla homa, and Mr. Clarence Rockwell, of Nehawka, acted as groomsmen. Miss Ella Mason played the wedding march. The bride was led to the altar by iier mother, where they met the groom who was led by the Iiev. Kiser. The bride was dressed in pale blue and white silk, made suspendersuit entrail carrying bride's roses. The groom was dressed in the conventional black. The bridesmaids were dressed one in pure white and one in cream, carrying pink roses. The groomsmen were dressed in the usual costume. The wedding was followed by a grand re ception at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. C. I. Kelt tier. The dining room was beaut ifull y decorated with white ribbon and suiy lax. The tables fairly groaned under the heavy burden of goody-goodies and about fifty of the nearby friends friends and relatives partook of the sumptuous spread. The church wa- beautifully decorated with evergreens, palms and potted Mowers, making a handsome display, and the bride and groom stood on a fur rug under a large horse shoe decorated with arljor vitn and white roses. Many costly and beautiful presents were received. Mr. and Mrs. Keltner having always been particular friend.-, of the bride and her parents and hav ing no children of their own to launch on the sea of matrimony, asked that, they be allowed to make the wedding for the bride, which favor was granted. It was hard to tell which was the hap piest, Mr. and Mrs. Lee or Mr. and Mrs. Keltner. A pleasant little thread of romance runs through this engagement, and wedding. Mr. Lee has known his bride from childhood, and when she was twelve years old, foreseeing th' beautiful womanhood that would later developc asked her mother for May'.s hand when she should reacli "sweet sixteen." Without giviifg the subjects any thought she consented. Lately the sixteenth mile stone was passed, and Mr. Lee claimed his bride. Hosts of friends were present from Nebraska City, I'lattsmouth, l.'nadilla, Louis ville, South Lend, Lincoln and Omaha. Thanksgiving day the happy couple took the train for the home of the bride's parents where they will remain for a few days, after which they will depart for their future home near Ivanhoe, Oklahoma. If good wishes have anything to do with making peo ple happy and prosperous Mr. and Mrs. Lee will cert ainly be among the hap piest people in Oklahoma. A Delightful. Social Affair. The home of Rev. Salsbury Monday evening was the scene of a delightful social all'air. The occasion being tin business and social meeting of tin Christian Endeavors. Forty people or more were present and after the busi ness was disposed of they indulged it: many social games among which wa "the spider web" game. Light re freshments were served. Everyone present had a delightful time and un animously declared Lev. and Mrs. Salsbury royal entertainers. IVir, Smoker, do you smoke Buds? If you don't you aro not getting your monej's' worth.
