Bogus Insurance Contractt.
(Taken fnini Slnle .Idiii iiiiI. Sunday, June .'I )
Insurance Deputy John L. Pierce
has discovered what ho believes to be
bogus contracts for Insurance against
damage by lightning, issued by men
who erect lightning rods on buildings.
Mr. Pierce said:
"The attention of the Insurance de
partment has been called several times
recently to t he work of two lightning
rod companies who have been doing
business quite extensively among the
farmers of Nebraska, and particularly
In the vicinity of Plattsmouth and
York.
"These companies, through agents,
succeed In securing most of their busi
ness by giving the party, whose build
ings they rod, what, on its face pur
ports to be a contract of guaranty,
but which the agent represents as an
insurance policy, insuring the farmer's
buildings for live years against damage
by lightning, to an amount not exceed
ing !."t)0.0(.
"One of these contracts was recent
ly submitted to this department with
the request to be Informed If It was a
,rood policy of Insurance against light
ning. An examination of the docu
ment showed that It no. only was not
an Insurance policy, but that It was a
fake as far as being a guarantee agree
ment Is concerned, and that it was not
a valid binding contract which could
be enforced by law.
"The two companies that have been
complained of as conducting their op
erations In this way arc, Reyburn,
Hunter & Co., of Chicago, and Colo
Bros., Lightning Rod Company of St.
Ixiuis."

The Question of Drinking.
At a banquet the question was dis
cussed which kind of wine Is suitable
for different persons and and at what
time, and the noted author Johnson
was asked about his opinion. Me be
lieved that light sour wine If for young
men, heavy sweet wine for old men
and brandy for heroes. Should this
question be put before the people now,
the only correct decision would be that
Trlner's American Elixir of Bitter
Wine can be used by anybody and at
any time, because it always benefits
the body. Itcontartwtne best "Wine
and the best herbs and cannot harm
e ven the most del icate or sore stomach.
If you have a decline of appetite or of
your usual strength and vitality, If
you are pale or yellow, have some dltlt-
cultles after meals, If you are weak
and nervous, pcavlsh and dissatisfied,
if no medicine seems to do you good,
Trlner's American Elixir of Hitter
will surely help you, because it acts di
rectly on the digestive organs and
through them on the whole body. It
will give you strong nerves, a llrm

A Pretty June Wedding.
A number of relatives and friends
assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
B. F. Laughlln Wednesday, June ti,
liHXl, at high noon to witness the mar
riage of their daughter, Lulu Kath
ryn, to Joseph E. Gavin. Miss Gene
vlve Kern played the wedding march
and as the appointed hour drew near
the bride and groom took their places
under an arch of roses, where the cere
mony was Impressively performed by
Rev. Ghorst.
The bride was beautifully gowned
in white silk and carried a shower
bouquet of white roses. The groom
was dressed in ''conventional black."
After hearty congratulations from
those present, the guests were ushered
Into the dining room, which was very
prettily decorated with smilax and
roses, and a sumptuous four-course
dinner was served. Many useful and
handsome gifts were showered upon
the happy couple as testimonials of
the esteem in w hich they are held.
Tho bride Is one of Greenwood's
most accomplished young ladies and
has lived and grown up In Cass county.
The groom, who has been in our midst
for about a year as our genial station
agent, has made many warm friends,
both in a business and a social way.
The happy young couple departed on
the afternoon train for Denver and
other Colorado points. They will be
at homo to their many friends after
June 20. A Gi-kst.
Force Them to Repair Walks.
In strolling over the city a person
can designate every rented property by
the dilapidated condition of the side
walks. Tills is not In the least the
fault of the tenants. In many cases
the tenant would jump qt the oppor
tunity to repair the same, if allowed
to deduct the amount from the rent,
but nine times out of ten the owner
refuses to repair the walk and won't
permit the tenant to do so. Where
such cases exist the city should
not hesitate a moment to put
down new walks where needed and
charge the cost up to the owner as
taxes. There are some property owners
in this town who think that because
they rent to parties who will submit
to the dilapidated condition of the
surroundings, they will let them do so
just so long as possible or until it Is
Impossible for them to occupy the
property.and move out In consequence
These are the very landlords that need
the attention of the city authorities.
What It luohf
The meaning of the word luck may
be fully explained In the following
"Luck means rising not later than G
a. m., living on a dollar a day If you
earn two, minding your own business
and not meddling with other people's
Luck means the appointments you
have never failed to keep, the trains
you have never failed to catch. Luck
means trusting In God and your own
resources.'
Outwit the Old Folks.
It Is reported that a gentleman
froai South Omaha by the name of II.
M. Smith was In the city Thursday
trying to ascertain the whereabouts
of his daughter, Ethel, who, he
claimed, eloped with a young gentle
man from South Omaha over the Mis
souri Pacific to Plattsmouth. No
trace of any such parties could be ob
tained here, but later It was rumored
that the young yeoplo had gone to St.
Joseph and there had the ceremony
performed.
